The Blind Chord Old Man listened attentively until the tune disappeared.
He sighed lightly: “it was truly a magical flute melody, it made me think of Senior Magic Flute. Never did I think that, I would be able to have the chance to listen to such melody that sounds like nature, I did not come here for nothing this time.”
The lady in black was anxious: “Master….”
If Blind Chord Old Man suddenly changed his mind, then her goal this time round, would go down the drain too.
Blind Chord Old Man raised his hand, stopping the lady in black from continuing, and said: “This flute sound, apart from the faint grief, it is like the blessings from the sun, there is still time, but who knows for how long? The vestiges from so many years, this is a sound martial artist that has lived through many generations, I am not equal to him.”
“Let us go.” Blind Chord Old Man was indifferent: “To go against this flute music, there is no way any weapons will move!”
The lady in black whose face was covered by a mask, exposed a struggling look, but she bit her lips tightly, and did not make a sound. Truthfully, she too knew that she had no power to go against that music.
Just as they turned to leave, a gold line of light suddenly appeared in the sky.
The gold line expanded, becoming a starry door.
“This is…” the lady in black was dumbstruck, her lips was trembling, the remaining words could not come out.
Everyone was shaken by the sudden appearance of the starry door.
What could be more surprising than a starry door suddenly appearing in the middle of the sky?
Everyone stared blankly at the starry door appearing suddenly, to the point that no one could speak. The moment the starry door opened, a foreign Qi enveloped the entire field.
Starry Door!
Everyone was petrified, at the same time curious as they stared at the door, what was happening?
A leg stepped out of the starry door from the sky.
It was a person!
Everyone was shocked, even Blind Chord Old Man who could not see, his head was tilted to one sound, both ears picking up all the vibrations, as though he was listening attentively.

Crane crossed the starry door with one of his legs.
He was very much excited. Finally, he was seeing his goal! After asking around for so long, he felt that it was no different from finding a needle in a haystack. In the end, he did not find anything.
But Crane never thought his opponent had gotten the Heavenly Light Pellet Crane!
That was one of the three silver treasures of the Crane’s Constellation. Each star treasures of the constellation all had a series and were categorized into bronze, silver and gold.
But amongst these, there were some special ones, like treasure weapons and armours.
A treasure weapon was the most exquisite treasure in each rank of the treasures. These exquisite treasures were much stronger than the ordinary treasures.
As for armour, it was also very unique as it could cover an entire body with an armour of treasures. The formation of the armour was far harder than all the other treasures as such, its powers were also much stronger than ordinary treasures.
Heavenly Light Pellet Crane was Heavenly Crane Constellation’s silver star treasure, and was the strongest weapon in the entire Heavenly Crane Constellation. Although Heavenly Crane Constellation was a small constellation, with only one gold star treasure, which was the Crane Sword. The Three Great Silver Star Treasure weapons, were naturally the peak existence amongst the treasures in Heavenly Crane Constellation.
If not for the Heavenly Light Pellet Crane, the Crane Sword would not have had such a strong reaction.
To activate the Heavenly Light Pellet Crane, it required the person to have a deep level of attainment regarding the Crane Body Energy, And that was why Crane did not hesitate to use the Crane Sword’s power, to activate the starry door.
When Crane stepped out of the door, his expression froze.
There is something wrong with this view, it seems a bit too high….
Wait a minute!
He reacted quickly. As his face changed, he was high up in the sky, so high up!
Like a rock, he fell down rapidly. The wind blew against him so hard he could hardly open his eyes.
But he was not panicking. Very quickly, he calmed down. When he was near to the ground, he held onto the Crane Sword at his waist and shouted: “Snow Crane Wings!”
A pair of snow white crane wings appeared behind his back as he landed onto the ground.
Bang!
He knelt on the ground on a single leg as both his legs landed on the ground. At the moment he landed, his body froze as a qi wave swept across.
In the center of the qi waves, Crane in white clothes was not dirtied at all.
Silence filled the surroundings as Crane looked across.
Finally, he set his gaze on Tang Tian.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Tang Tian did not even look at Crane who was falling from above, he was still immersed in the sorrow from losing Ghost Claw, and was just bawling out as he sat on the floor, mucus and tears dripping out, he was twitching as he cried.
After he finished crying, Tang Tian began to regain his courage.
“Ghost Claw, sob sob sob…”
“I will definitely do my best!”
“This godlike young man, will definitely do my best!”
Tang Tian muttered to himself, his voice getting louder and louder, his tone becoming more resolute.
Stop crying, how can a godlike young man drop tears, so embarrassing!
Tang Tian wiped away his tears, Resolution once again reappearing in his eyes, as he prepared to stand up. Suddenly, a white color figure appeared in his vision.
Tang Tian was stunned, he immediately rubbed his eyes again, and the figure in front of him became clearer.
Tang Tian was stunned, and he opened his mouth: “Little Xu Xu, come and take a look, it is your twin brother!”
Sky Tiger rushed over, and Bing who was inside exclaimed loudly: “Oh my god, he really does look a bit like him!”
Pata Pata, a set of light steps sounded out from behind, it was Flamingo carrying Ling Xu who had fainted over.
Tang Tian was shocked, and finally reacted: “Little Xu Xu!”
Ling Xu’s eyes were shut tight, his whole body circled up into a ball and was shivering vigorously.
Magic Flute spoke: “he’s suffering from bedevilment.”
“Bedevilment?” Tang Tian looked up.
“Mmhm.” Magic Flute sounded serious: “it’s one of the methods that is usually used by sound type martial artist. Basically, it awakens the demon in them. Naturally, music has the ability to influence a person’s mood, and mentality as such, the sound type of martial artist had an added advantage to that. They can awaken the demon that is hiding in one person. There’s a demon in everybody, some are determination, some are emotions. They come in all sorts of forms. Usually, people would suppress the demon under calm, and controlled situations. But suppressing doesn’t mean it’s being destroyed. Bedevilment is hard to destroy. Once the demon is awoken, if one cannot break free from the struggles, then he or she will be in danger!”
Suddenly, Tang Tian remembered the last time he fought with Magic Flute: “Don’t tell me this is the bedevilment you used on me?”
“That’s right.” there was an odd look on Magic Flute. He nodded: “But, it doesn’t seem to have any effects on you.”
Magic Flute did not complete his sentence. It was not that bedevilment had no effects on Tang Tian. But Tang Tian was already in a frenzied state. Magic Flute never thought that the demon in Tang Tian was different from everybody else.
Every demon was gloomy, ruthless, and fierce etcetera. Which also explained why bedevilment was so scary.
But the demon in Tang Tian was weird. His demon was also sad and lonely but it was just like him, full of sunshine.
Tang Tian did not break free from the demon by himself but by the demon in him. He continuously eliminated those negative emotions in him.
Such a weird type of bedevilment, such a weird young man!
Magic Flute was thinking.
If it was a normal day, Tang Tian would definitely happily praise himself in cloud nine, but at this time, his face was anxious: “Then how can we help Little Xu Xu?”
“There isn’t a way!” Magic Flute shook his head bluntly: “The devil in every person’s heart, only they themself, can struggle out of it.”
“Such a despicable Erhu old man!” Tang Tian was infuriated: “The next time we meet, Ii will definitely beat him till his teeth drop!”
But, at the distant cliff, there was no one, Blind Chord Old Man had already left.
Immediately he waved his fist at Ling Xu who remained unconscious, and shouted: “Little Xu Xu, you must be brave! Whatever demon you have inside, they are nonsense, beat them all down! Use your Justice Orange Core Pierce…”
Suddenly, a gentle and polite voiced cut in: “Hello, can I ask, do you cultivate the Crane Body Energy?”
“Ah!” Tang Tian reacted to him, he turned his face, looked at Crane, and asked curiously: “Are you Little Xu Xu’s older brother, or younger brother?”
To him, the both of them looked alike.
They both had silver hair that drooped to the shoulders, the same white robes like snow, and the same sissiness!
In Tang Tian’s dictionary, there was no such word as handsome. Even if there was, it was meant for himself.
Only the godlike young man was qualified to be called handsome and suave. The others were all Sissies!
Crane peeped at the unconscious Ling Xu and looked slightly surprised. This was the first time he saw someone who dressed up exactly like him.
But soon enough, he kept his gaze and looked at Tang Tian. Shaking his head, he replied: “I’m sorry. I’m not affiliated to him. May I ask, did you cultivate the Crane Body Energy?”
“Eh, what do you want?” Tang Tian looked at Crane with his guard up.
“I’m a disciple of the Crane Sect. You may call me Crane.” Crane smiled lightly. He was very polite.
“Ah, you’re the disciple of the Crane Sect!” Tang Tian was shocked but his eyes lit up anyway: “Do you have the sixth rank Crane Style Qi Manual spirit general card? What about the seventh rank?”
Crane shook his head apologetically: “I’m sorry, my sect has fallen. All the Crane Style Qi Manuals above sixth rank are all lost.”
Tang Tian was instantly let down, muttering: “then what’s the use of you?”
What is the use of me…
Crane face sunk.
Tang Tian waved his hand and shouted: “Alright, why are you here looking for me?”
Crane returned back and bowed quickly. He spoke with utmost earnesty: “The Crane Body Energy had been lost for years. I would like to take back what belongs to my sect! Please fulfill my wish!”
“You guys don’t even know Crane Body Energy?” Tang Tian was shocked. He was even more disappointed now. It had been a long time since he comprehended the Crane Body Energy and he had never found it amazing or high leveled. But he never thought if the Crane Sect did not even know the Crane Body Energy, Tang Tian lost all his interest.
Crane Sect which do not even have the Crane Body Energy, what kind of high class bullshit was this?
These disciples from the Crane Sect was so disappointing!
Tang Tian who was unhappy stared at Crane, no matter how he looked, Crane was not pleasing to his eye. This fellow who was equally sissy as Ling Xu, no matter what it was, he was not charming at all.
Tang Tian cursed silently, his expression was crude: “I can teach you the Crane Body Energy, but I painstakingly attained this on my own, what can you give me in exchange for it?”
“Please tell me!” Crane was firm and solemn: “As long as Crane has it, or whatever I can do, it definitely will not be a problem!”
Seems like he’s a fat sheep! Tang Tian’s eyes lit up.
“Seems like he is a rookie!” Bing appeared out of nowhere. He relaxed that poker face of his.
“Keke!”
“Hehe!”
Tang Tian who had telepathy with Bing chuckled innocently at the same time.
