Ba Shu has always been known as a heavenly country, among which the most famous school is the Tang Sect.
The place where the Tang Gate is located is a mysterious place. Many people only know that it is a half-mountain waist, and at the top of this mountain where the Tang Gate is located, there is a name that makes one's heart tremble with fear - Ghost See Sorrow.
It takes nineteen seconds to hear the echo of a stone thrown from the top of Ghost Cliff, which shows its height. It is also because of these nineteen seconds that it surpasses the eighteen layers of hell by one throw, hence the name.
A young man in gray stood at the top of Guixu Peak, his body unmoving despite the biting mountain wind. The large Tang character on his chest revealed that he came from the Tang Sect, and the gray clothes represented an outer sect disciple of the Tang Sect.
He is twenty-nine years old, and since he entered the Tang Sect not long after birth, he ranks third among the outer sect disciples' generations, so the outer sect disciples call him Third Young Master. Of course, in the mouths of inner sect disciples, it becomes Tang San.
The Tangmen has been divided into two factions, the outer and inner doors, since its establishment. The outer door consists of disciples with different surnames or those who have been granted the surname Tang, while the inner door belongs to the direct lineage of the Tangmen and is passed down through family inheritance.
At this time, Tang San's face was very rich in expression, sometimes smiling, sometimes crying, but no matter what, he couldn't hide his inner excitement.
Twenty-nine years have passed, since twenty-nine years ago he was picked up by the outer gate elder Tang Lan Taigong in his infancy and brought back to the Tang Sect. The Tang Sect has been his home ever since, and the hidden weapons of the Tang Sect are everything to him.
Suddenly, Tang San's face changed abruptly, but soon returned to normal. He muttered to himself with a hint of bitterness: "What was bound to come has finally arrived."
Seventeen figures, seventeen white-clad figures, emerged from the waist of the mountain and jumped towards the top, like a star jumping. The owners of these seventeen figures were all over fifty years old, with solemn expressions. They wore white robes representing the inner door, while the golden Tang character on their chest was the symbol of the Tangmen elder.
Inside the Tangmen, there are seventeen elders including the leader, Mr. Tang. At this time, all seventeen of them have come out. Even if it were a martial arts conference, it would be impossible to mobilize all the elders of the Tangmen at the same time. You know, among these Tangmen elders, the oldest has already exceeded two cycles of sixty years.
The cultivation of these Tangmen elders was all at a state of perfection, and in the blink of an eye, they had already arrived at the mountain top.
Outer sect disciples seeing inner sect elders only have the privilege of kneeling to greet, but at this time, Tang San did not move. He was quietly watching these serious-faced elders come before him, blocking all paths, and behind him was Ghost Shadow.
He put down the three Buddha Fury Tang Lian, Tang San cast a final reluctant glance, and a hint of satisfaction smiled at the corner of his mouth. After all, he had succeeded, after twenty years of hard work, he finally completed the pinnacle of the Tang family's external door hidden weapon. The sense of accomplishment was beyond words.
At this moment, Tang San felt that for himself, everything had become unimportant. Whether it was violating the sect's rules or life and death, it seemed to have all come to an end with these three blooming Tang Lian flowers in front of him. The Buddha's Fury Tang Lian, the most overbearing hidden weapon in this world, had been born in his own hands. What could be more exciting for Tang San, who had spent his entire life immersed in hidden weapons?
"I know that sneaking into the inner courtyard and stealing the sect's ultimate skills is an unforgivable sin, something that goes against the sect's rules. But Tang San can swear to heaven that he has never leaked any of the sect's ultimate skills he learned through theft to the outside world. I'm not saying this in hopes of getting leniency from the elders, but rather to tell them that Tang San has never forgotten his roots. Not in the past, and not in the future."
Tang San's emotions were very calm at this moment, perhaps it was the calmest moment in his life. Looking at the large courtyard of Tangmen on the mountain waist, feeling the air that belonged to Tangmen, Tang San's eyes became moist. Since he understood things from a young age, it could be said that he had lived for the sake of Tangmen, and now, it was time for him to leave again for the pursuit of his own life.
The elders didn't say a word, they still hadn't come to their senses from the appearance of the Buddha's Fury Lotus. Two hundred years, exactly two hundred years had passed, and yet the Buddha's Fury Lotus had appeared in the hands of an outer sect disciple. What did this mean? This peerless treasure that represented the absolute peak of Tang Sect, which even the people of Tang Sect itself couldn't withstand, signified the arrival of another pinnacle of Tang Sect.
Looking at the elders bowing their heads in silence, Tang San smiled calmly, "Everything of mine is given by Tang Sect, whether it's life or abilities I possess, all are bestowed by Tang Sect. No matter what time, as long as I'm alive, I'm a person of Tang Sect, and when I die, I'll be a ghost of Tang Sect. I know that the elders won't allow an outer sect disciple who broke the rules to have his corpse remain in Tang Sect. Since that's the case, let me turn into bones amidst this natural scenery of Bashu."
Tang San's calm and slightly excited voice finally woke up the elders. When the elders raised their heads to look at him, they saw a layer of milky white air instantly spreading out from his body.
"Xuān Tiān Bǎo Lù, you've actually learned the highest inner skill of our sect from Xuān Tiān Bǎo Lù?" Mr. Tang exclaimed.
A loud explosion sounded, and when all the elders retreated at the same time to guard against unexpected events, what they saw was Tang San's completely naked body.
Tang San smiled, his smile very radiant. "Coming naked, leaving naked, Buddha's anger is Tang Lian's last gift to the Tang Sect. Now, apart from myself, I have taken nothing away from the Tang Sect. The secret manual is under the first brick outside my room door. Tang San will now return everything to the Tang Sect."
"Hahaha……" Tang San looked up at the sky and laughed maniacally, suddenly taking a big step back. At this moment, all the Tang Sect elders suddenly discovered that no one was able to stop him. His body, enveloped in white light, shot forward like lightning towards Ghost Shadow, his tall and proud figure soaring into the air, heading towards the clouds and mist between the mountains.
"Wait a minute." Mr. Tang finally came to his senses, but by then it was already too late.
Thick clouds and fog brought wave after wave of damp air, taking away the sunlight, also taking away Tang San who had dedicated his life to the Tang Sect and hidden weapons.
Time seemed to have stood still, Mr. Tang's hands trembled as he picked up the three peonies in front of him, his eyes moistened, "Tang San, oh Tang San, why must you do this? The surprises you've brought us are too many, too many..."
"Big brother." The Second Elder stepped forward, "Why be so worked up over this traitor?"
Mr. Tang's gaze turned cold in an instant, his whole body radiating a chilling aura as he glared at the Second Elder, "Who did you say was a traitor? Have you ever seen a traitor not flee after obtaining our sect's highest secret manual? Have you ever seen a traitor willing to die for their cause? Have you ever seen someone with an ultimate dark artifact capable of destroying any of Tang Sect's top experts yet give it as a final gift to the Tang Sect? Tang San is no traitor, he is the most outstanding genius our sect has produced in two hundred years."
Two elders were stunned, "But he secretly learned our school's..."
"Mr. Tang suddenly interrupted, 'If you can also make Buddha's Fury Tangerine, I won't care what you steal. We were both wrong, just a moment ago, we let the opportunity for the Tang family to rise again slip away from us.'"
The elderly surrounded them, their expressions complex, with confusion, sadness, sighs, and more regret.
"You don't need to say anything else, pass on my orders, and command all the disciples of our sect to move out in full force. Search for Tang San everywhere, dead or alive. From this moment on, Tang San is promoted to an inner sect disciple of our sect. If he's still alive, he will be the only candidate to succeed me as the sect master."
"Yes, Master." The elders all bowed their heads in unison and obeyed.
If Tang San was still on this cliff at this time, he could hear Mr. Tang's words, and even if he died, he would be very comforted, his efforts had not been in vain after all. However, all of this came a bit too late.
The ghost was anxious, and even throwing down a stone would take nineteen seconds to count, as if transcending the existence of the eighteen layers of hell. How could it be possible for a living person to be released by the clouds and return? Tang San left, he forever left this world, but his other fate had just begun.
