"Tian, I'm extremely gratified to see your current rate of growth." Xiao Yunhai first sighed with emotion, then lightly said: "I know you must have a lot of questions in your heart, so there's no harm in asking them one by one."

"Master, what happened to you all those years ago?" Lin Tian hesitated for a moment and decided to first ask this question.

"Master has to start from the beginning if you ask this question." Xiao Yunhai's gaze flickered, as if he had returned to that year.

"In the past, I was born in Sky Dragon City. The previous Principal in Sky Dragon City was my master, and also the current Principal of the Azure Province!" Xiao Yunhai's words were astonishing.

"What? My ancestor is the current headmaster of the Azure Province Academy?" Lin Tian asked in disbelief.

"Of course, when it comes to your grandteacher, which is also my master, you can be considered a legend …"

That year, he was obsessed with martial arts, but after cultivating for most of his life, he was only in the Aurous Core stage. But in the end, at the age of forty, he suddenly gained enlightenment at the imperial court, and his blood and Qi soared straight to the clouds, all the way up to the ninth level of the Astral Realm, making him one of the top experts in the entire Tian Luo Kingdom! Even though Xiao Yunhai had said all of these things, he was still somewhat fascinated by it.

Lin Tian was even more so. He never thought that his Martial Ancestor would be a powerful existence like enlightenment.

After his sudden enlightenment, he attracted the attention of the king. Coincidentally, the end of the president of the Azure Province was near, and he could no longer hold the position of president. The king let him temporarily supervise the Azure Province Academy, and later on he became the president of the Azure Province Academy.

Xiao Yunhai recounted what happened that year in detail.

Then he began to talk about himself.

"Back then, I was also a student of the Sky Dragon Academy. After three rounds of selection, I became a disciple of the Northern Courtyard of the Azure Province …"

"Northern Courtyard?" Lin Tian had some doubts and couldn't help but ask.

The Azure Province Academy is divided into the East, West, North, and North Academies, while the four academies are divided into the Outer Academy and the Inner Academy. In general, the disciples who enter the Outer Academy will be selected, and only after going through the Inner Academy's selection will they be able to become true students of the Inner Academy. Of course, no matter if it is the Inner Academy or the Outer Academy, they are all students of the Azure Province Academy.

Lin Tian nodded his head. Only then did he gain a new understanding of the Azure Province Academy.

"When I first entered the Northern Courtyard, due to my decent talent, I quickly went from the outer court of the Northern Courtyard to become an inner court disciple." As Xiao Yunhai spoke to here, he also smiled and said: "Back then, although my talent was not as good as yours, it could still be considered outstanding amongst the group of disciples that were selected by the Azure Province Academy."

"After I stepped into the ninth level of the Aurous Core Stage, your grandmaster immediately transferred me to become a teacher in the outer court of the Northern Courtyard."

"Originally, all of this would have passed peacefully. It's even possible that I am still working as a teacher in the Azure Province Academy …"

As Xiao Yunhai spoke to here, he sighed. Lin TianAo only knew that the matter that Xiao Yunhai was about to say would definitely be related to the unforeseen event that Xiao Yunhai encountered afterwards.

Sure enough, Xiao Yunhai continued: "Until something happened afterwards …"

We have a total of nine disciples, because I am the youngest. Although I was previously a student of your ancestor, I was also the last one to take him as my master. Ling Tianlie, you also know that he is your uncle master, as well as the uncle master Yuan who was in front of the illusory dragon gate. He is ranked eighth, and I am ranked ninth, so he is also your ancestor's last disciple. Xiao Yunhai continued.

Lin Tian nodded his head. At that time, before the shadow of the dragon gate, there was a Martial Uncle Yuan.

However, that Senior Master Yuan and Xiao Yunhai's relationship did not seem to be that good. On the contrary, the relationship between Master Bai, Ling Tianlie, and Xiao Yunhai was more like that of fellow apprentices.

"One day, your grandmaster told us nine disciples to meet him. He said that he wanted to give us a secret mission to track down the news of Blood Demon Sect …"

"Blood Demon Sect?" Lin Tian was extremely unfamiliar with this name, but from the sound of it, it seemed like it was a sect that cultivated the demonic way.

"That's right. A thousand years ago, the Blood Demon Sect was the overlord of the Western Spirit Region. Now, the six Saint sects of the Western Spirit Region are nothing in front of the Blood Demon Sect." "The reason why the Blood Demon Sect was so powerful at that time was entirely because of the Blood Demon Sect's cultivation method. The Blood Demon Sect's cultivation method was extremely terrifying, using the blood sacrifice of the living to increase their own strength. At that time, the Blood Demon Sect had a blood river that was said to be formed by sacrificing thousands of kingdoms and massacring billions of people."

"There's actually such a terrifying sect?" Lin Tian couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. Blood sacrificed thousands of kingdoms and massacred billions of people just for the sake of cultivating …

It was said that the Blood Demon Sect was extremely cruel back then. The higher-ups of Zhen Wu Jie had been shaken by the news and sent their top experts to wipe out the Blood Demon Sect, but they had also paid a heavy price to do so. At that time, the higher-ups had burned down all of the Blood Demon Sect's secret techniques, treasures, secret manuals, and everything else in order to prevent the Blood Demon Sect from rekindling again.

Xiao Yunhai slowly said. He had actually given Lin Tian a secret from many years ago.

"Therefore, when your grandmaster learned of the Blood Demon Sect's news, he was extremely shocked. However, because he was unable to leave during the great competition, he sent nine of us to investigate the Blood Demon Sect directly."

"We naturally knew that something urgent had happened. Without any hesitation, we all went to different places and started searching for information about the Blood Demon Sect, but unfortunately, we were all unable to find anything. However, it was also at this time that I met your master's wife …"

"Mistress?" This was the first time Lin Tian had heard Xiao Yunhai take the initiative to talk about Mistress. Originally, Lin Tian had thought that Xiao Yunhai didn't have a wife …

That's right, your mistress. I met her in Heavenly Star City, and she's a hero saving a beauty …" Xiao Yunhai sighed once again: "At first, I thought that it was a hero saving the beauty. Now, it seems that it should have been a trap that they had planned long ago …

"A hero saving a beauty? A trap? " When Lin Tian heard this, he was confused, but then he suddenly thought of a possibility …

"Could it be?"

"That's right. At that time, your Mistress was bullied by an evil person. I did not hesitate to help her. After that, your Mistress and I fell in love …" The corner of Xiao Yunhai's mouth rose into a faint smile.

"At that time, if I wanted to investigate the whereabouts of the Blood Demon Sect, I would naturally have stayed in Heavenly Star City. In just half a month, your mistress and I had become extremely close. Of course, I did not hide it from her. Xiao Yunhai sighed deeply, "I didn't expect that it would also be like this, which resulted in the calamity that would come later."

Lin Tian's gaze was incredulous as he stared at Xiao Yunhai. He then asked: "Could it be, could it be that Mistress is …"

"That's right. Your mistress is from Blood Demon Sect." Xiao Yunhai seemed to know Lin Tian's thoughts and directly interrupted him.

"Furthermore, she's not a small fry. She's the Holy Maiden of the Blood Demon Sect …"

"I wonder where they got the information from. They knew that we were investigating them, so they decided to scheme and get the information out of me."

"Later on, when your Martial Ancestor and the others found out that the secret stronghold of the Blood Demon Sect was in Heavenly Star City, the Blood Demon Sect members had already secretly escaped …"

"So, your grandmaster questioned me, because I was investigating information about Heavenly Star City. However, not long after I was with your mistress, she told me that she was pregnant with my child. At that time, I wasn't in the mood to investigate other information, so I just stayed by her side the whole time …"

"Later on, your grandteacher found me and flew into a rage. Just as I was about to bring your grandteacher to see her, your grandmaster disappeared …" Xiao Yunhai's face was filled with bitterness: "When she left, she only left this …"

Xiao Yunhai took out a crystal-like pendant from his chest.

"And then?" Lin Tian couldn't help but ask.

"Later on, your grandmaster led people to chase after the people of the Blood Demon Sect, but in the end, they all ended up returning empty-handed." Xiao Yunhai's gaze was indifferent.

"Your grandmaster was about to cripple me. He was going to use family law, but he was stopped by his fellow seniors."

"But at the same time, I also discovered that something was wrong with my body. My strength was actually constantly declining. So it turns out that my sea of consciousness had already been poisoned by your master …"

"What?" When Lin Tian heard this, his eyes turned completely bloodshot. How was this a master's wife? That woman's vicious mood had deceived his master's feelings, and she had even poisoned him.

"Things have already come to this point. I also have no face to see your ancestor. Your ancestor kicked me out of the school, and also drove me out of the Azure Province Academy."

"Master, what's the name of my mistress?" Lin Tian couldn't help but ask. Such a venomous woman, moreover, such a vicious woman. If Lin Tian were to meet her in the future, how could he let her go?

"I don't know either." Xiao Yunhai bitterly laughed, "I also didn't know why I would like her, moreover, I didn't even know her name …"

"And then?" Lin Tian couldn't help but ask.

Later on, my seniors and juniors continued to investigate the whereabouts of the Blood Demon Sect. I returned to the Sky Dragon Academy and became the dean, but many years ago, I heard your senior uncle say that all of them died at the hands of the Blood Demon Sect. Out of your seniors and juniors, only your senior uncle, I, and that Senior Uncle Yuan were left ….

"What?" Lin Tian felt this was even more inconceivable. The Blood Demon Sect dared to be so insolent. They even dared to take revenge!

"That's right, if I were to encounter something like this, I would be even more afraid to face them. But back then, the poison had already started devouring my sea of consciousness. I felt that it wouldn't be long before I died, but I didn't expect you to cure me …" The corner of Xiao Yunhai's mouth rose into a smile.
