C2108 Meeting Chu Shikun Again
2However, compared to the interrogation, Ye Hongtian didn't have any tools to limit his cultivation. He was only temporarily sealed by the guardian of the Hanging Mountain Shrine.
When the Blood Evil organization had surrounded the guardian of the Floating Mountain Shrine, Ye Hong Tian had tried his best to create a loophole to let the guardian of the Floating Mountain Shrine escape.
The reason he wanted to protect the Protector of the Hanging Mountain Shrine was because the Protector of the Hanging Mountain Shrine was related to his master. However, the Protector of the Hanging Mountain Shrine did not know his identity, so even if he said it now, the Protector might not believe him.
"This... This might be a misunderstanding. Senior, you may have caught the wrong person. I have nothing to do with the Blood Evil Shrine. I am just watching from the side." Ye Hong Tian wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said.
While Ye Hong Tian was thinking about whether the guardian of the Hanging Mountain Shrine would let him go, the guardian said, "I am not interested in your relationship with Blood Evil. I brought you here to ask you a few questions. Just answer me honestly."
"I will tell you everything I know!"
Under such circumstances, the other party only wanted to ask a few questions. Ye Hong Tian was naturally overjoyed, but the next question asked by the guardian of the Hanging Mountain Shrine made Ye Hong Tian's expression turn serious.
"Where did you inherit it from?"
"Blood Moon Sect Elder Zhang Zhengxuan."
Ye Hongtian answered without hesitation, and he wasn't lying. Zhang Zhengxuan was indeed his master.
However, the guards of the Suspending Mountain God Temple were not satisfied with Ye Hongtian's answer. They thought Ye Hongtian was lying, so they frowned.
After a while, the Protector of the Hanging Mountain Shrine relaxed. He seemed to have thought of something and smiled.
"Don't be nervous. I mean you no harm. Maybe my current image scared you. Wait a moment, I'll go tidy it up." The Protector of the Hanging Mountain Shrine scratched his messy hair and smiled.
After saying that, he walked to the back of a wooden board in the wooden house. Not long after, he walked out from behind the wooden board in just a few breaths' time. The image of the guardian of the Hanging Mountain Sacred Hall could be said to have undergone a transformation as if he had disguised himself.
Ye Hong Tian was familiar with the face of the guardian of the Hanging Mountain Shrine, which immediately reminded him of something.
"You are! Senior Chu of the Black Tree Forest?!" Ye Hong Tian exclaimed.
This Protector of the Hanging Mountain God Temple was Chu Shikun, who Ye Hongtian had saved in the Black Tree Forest of the Land of Martialism. Previously, he had felt that the drunk Protector of the Hanging Mountain God Temple looked somewhat familiar. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not recall where he had seen him before. Now, Chu Shikun had tidied up his hair so that he could see his appearance. Only then did he remember.
Chu Shikun, whose name had been revealed, was clearly stunned by Ye Hongtian's exclamation. He approached Ye Hongtian and carefully sized up Ye Hongtian's appearance. He almost dug out his eyeballs and stuck them on Ye Hongtian's face to size him up.
A few breaths later, Chu Shikun also recalled the incident in the Black Tree Forest of the Martial Shattering Continent. His eyes flickered with joy.
"So it was the little benefactor who saved my life back then. I never thought that you would actually come to the Divine Martial Continent. And your cultivation has improved so quickly! As expected of the person who saved me from that array formation! " Chu Shikun patted Ye Hongtian's shoulder and said agitatedly.
Ye Hongtian's shoulder hurt from the pat, but he forced a smile and said, "I also didn't think that the Protector of the Hanging Mountain God Temple was you. It seems that I have fate with Senior Chu."
"Haha! That's right! It's fate! Furthermore, you still have the palace master's..."
Chu Shikun also felt that it was fate with Ye Hongtian. After laughing out loud, he said the words" Hall Master. "Then, he immediately reacted and shut his mouth.
Staring seriously at Ye Hongtian, Chu Shikun's gaze became extremely sharp. It was as if he wanted to use his gaze to peel off Ye Hongtian's skin.
From Chu Shikun's words just now, Ye Hongtian could roughly guess the reason why Chu Shikun looked at him like that. His expression became solemn once again. When he received the Dark Fire Phoenix Supremacy's inheritance, the Dark Fire Phoenix Supreme had once instructed that no one should know his identity. He did not know if Chu Shikun could be trusted.
"I have a few questions that I want to ask Senior Chu. I hope that before answering Senior Chu's questions, Senior Chu can answer my questions first."
If an Awakening Realm martial artist were to raise a condition for a Saint, it might be courting death in the eyes of others. If they provoked a Saint, the other party would only need to move his finger to make him disappear. However, even so, Ye Hong Tian had to confirm it clearly.
When Chu Shi Kun saw Ye Hong Tian's current attitude, he was not angry that Ye Hong Tian, an Eighth Awakened martial artist, had raised a condition for him. On the contrary, his face revealed some joy. It seemed that he had roughly confirmed a guess in his heart.
"You ask! I will answer whatever I can!"
"Yes, thank you, Senior Chu." Ye Hongtian was slightly surprised by Chu Shikun's reply without any hesitation. However, he quickly adjusted himself and asked his own question.
"May I ask why Senior Chu was trapped in the Black Tree Forest by the formation?"3
"This happened 100,000 years ago. At that time, the various factions surrounded and attacked the Hall Master! I chose to follow Lord Hall Master. When I escaped to that small world called the Martial Shattering Continent, I was besieged by several Sages. I was careless and stepped into the trap that they had set up a long time ago. In the end, I was trapped in the Black Tree Forest. "
"Hmm, then are you willing to make a blood oath that you will never betray the Hanging Mountain Shrine and never betray your master... the Temple Master of the Hanging Mountain Shrine?!"
"This, I may not be able to fulfill it."
Originally, Ye Hongtian had already wanted to believe that Chu Shikun was still loyal to the Hanging Mountain Divine Hall and would not harm him. However, Chu Shikun said that he was unable to carry out the blood oath, causing Ye Hongtian to be on guard once again.
Just as he was prepared to escape at any moment, Chu Shikun pulled off the sleeve of his right arm, revealing his skin.
"100,000 years ago, I had already carved a blood seal on my right arm. If I betrayed the Hanging Mountain God Temple, I would immediately be killed by the backlash of the blood seal. I would not be able to make another blood oath."
On Chu Shikun's right arm, there was a pattern that was very similar to the Hanging Mountain symbol that Ye Hongtian had previously understood. It was also a blood red color. This was the blood mark that Chu Shikun had mentioned.
Seeing this blood mark, Ye Hongtian's raised heart relaxed once again. He wiped the sweat that he had left behind due to nervousness and smiled at Chu Shikun.
"I've asked my questions. Senior Chu, you can continue asking questions." Ye Hong Tian smiled.
Chu Shikun was delighted when he heard that. It seemed like he was happy because he had gained Ye Hongtian's trust. He tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart and asked, "I'm still the same question as before. Where did you come from?!"
"Hu ~ This is the first time I've said this to someone else. My master is... the Hanging Mountain Sacred Hall's Hall Master, Qing Kuang!"
