Chapter 105 The Secret of Tianshan
“Master, we have never seen these two men in black before, and we can’t tell who they are. How do they know so much about our Tianshan Forbidden Area?”
Bian Yuan glanced in the direction Sect Leader Lin had left, his eyes flashing a few times. Elder Yu, who had been speaking, didn't ask any further questions, bowed to him, and turned to chase after Sect Leader Lin.
He took out a white cloth and carefully wiped the blood off Mo Wen's sword, then looked towards Fei Xi.
The four children on the ground slowly woke up. Qin Lan and Mu Zhiyu, who were sleeping on one side, had only been drugged and passed out. Qin Shu and Xie Fengrong, who were being held by the men in black and were about to do something, had also just passed out and were perfectly fine.
As soon as they woke up, they chattered incessantly around Fei Xi and Old Miao.
After calming the children down, Fei Xi looked up and met his gaze.
"Are you curious?"
"Senior Bian, that was an accident, if not..."
"No, I didn't intend to save anyone."
Fei Xi choked, a hint of reluctance appearing in her puzzled eyes.
Although Lin Tianyu's personality had been spoiled and distorted by his elders at a young age, he didn't deserve to die. The fact that Qin Shu and Xie Fengrong were unharmed proves that Senior Bian acted with restraint. If not for an accident, Lin Tianyu wouldn't have died, so why did Senior Bian…
"If you stay in Tianshan, you are not suited for the martial world."
Just as Fei Xi was pondering the meaning of Senior Bian's words, she suddenly felt her body lighten as Senior Bian lifted her up again.
Before she could protest, the wind whistled past her ears, and cold words, accompanied by the increasingly close sound of flowing water, poured into her ears:
"Now that you know the greatest secret of Tianshan, from this day forward, you are one of my people of Tianshan."
ha?
What secret?
Before Fei Xi could react, she was dragged into the rushing river by Senior Bian.
……
"Achoo, achoo, achoo..."
"Life and death are predestined. If you survive, you will become the master of Tianshan. If you don't survive, you will die."
Fei Xi rubbed her nose; her cold must have gotten worse again.
From the initial fear, looking back now, she has actually gotten used to it.
Hearing Senior Bian's cold and emotionless words, she still didn't understand.
"How did they die?"
Hidden at the bottom of the rushing river is a square, silver-white house, like a box.
Senior Bian led her to the edge of the house, and the house automatically opened an opening, sucking the two of them inside.
The water flow outside was completely blocked from the room. Fei Xi didn't have time to look back at the path behind her and was immediately frightened by the skeletons scattered all over the ground.
Inside the silver room, countless skeletons were piled up like mountains. From the size of the skeletons, Fei Xi could tell that they were all children aged three to six.
"Unable to endure the physical pain, they either committed suicide or died because they couldn't bear it."
"Does it look like the Immortal Flower?" For some reason, Fei Xi suddenly thought of the Immortal Flower that Junior Brother Ji had eaten.
She had heard some rumors in the martial arts world. Although no one was willing to admit it, no matter when, people in the martial arts world generally agreed that the Master of Tianshan was the best in the world.
Since Senior Bian entered the martial arts world, no one has ever been known to be able to defeat him.
If there were something here that could add sixty years' worth of internal energy, like the Immortal Flower.
If these children can survive after eating this stuff, then it's not hard to understand why Senior Bian was invincible in the martial arts world when he was less than 15 years old.
"Yes and no. Where did you come into contact with the Immortal Flower?"
“…My junior brother once accidentally ate it.” As if she had forgotten something important, Fei Xi shook her head, suppressing the strange feeling that was rising in her heart.
A cold hand grabbed hers, and Fei Xi shivered from the cold. Her eyes were fixed on the tightly clasped hands in front of her, and she couldn't remember anything.
A warm current flowed into her body through her cold hands, and just as she was feeling warm and drowsy, a clear, cold voice entered her ears.
"The Immortal Flower is not a sacred object. It can activate all the internal energy contained in a person's body in a short period of time, but once the internal energy is exhausted, the person will surely die."
"Is this why every child participating in the Lord of Tianshan Trial cannot be older than six, and cannot learn any martial arts before passing the trial?" Fei Xi asked, recalling the situation of the five children she had seen today.
"Yes and no."
He loosened his grip on her hand, and his approving gaze seemed to acknowledge her words, but the subsequent denial left Fei Xi completely confused.
"You'll understand once you see it for yourself."
Several pieces of clothing fell along with the words. Fei Xi blushed and quickly turned her head away.
Is Senior Byun possessed by a wandering ghost?
Why take off your clothes when you're perfectly fine?
No, she wanted to see what kind of monster had taken over Senior Bian's body!
The eyes that had turned away secretly turned back again, finding a good excuse.
With just one glance, all the girlish shyness on Fei Xi's face vanished.
Frowning, she couldn't help but step forward and touch his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and muscular back.
Her fair and firm back was as smooth as silk.
But just two weeks ago, she clearly saw with her own eyes how serious the deep, bone-penetrating knife wound was.
"Have you seen enough?" The cold voice seemed to hide a hint of displeasure. Before Fei Xi could reply, the swordsman had already quickly put on his clothes.
This powerful recovery ability is something I've never heard of before.
Fei Xi couldn't help but recall everything she had seen along the way today, from the trial mountain climb she saw in the morning to the sea of lava and fire she had just witnessed, and now the corpses scattered all over the floor of this house.
This trial on Mount Tian seems to be testing the children's physical strength, perseverance, courage, and endurance.
An absurd guess popped into her mind, and she asked hesitantly:
"The Immortal Flower releases the body's inherent internal energy, while the Heavenly Mountain Lord's trial is pushing the limits of what the human body can withstand?"
"Yes." Seeing the reluctance on the woman's face again, Bian Yuan snorted inwardly and repeated himself:
"Whether one lives or dies is a choice made by oneself; life and death are preordained, and one cannot blame anyone else."
