The northwest corner of the dragon spiral cliff that stands on the wall is straight into the sea of clouds, and the thick white snow is laid on the cliff and the vast sea of clouds constitute a grand scene of snow connecting the world. Tang Zhan stood on top of it with his hands behind his back, a pair of sharp eagle eyes staring at the deep and bottomless cliff.

The black shadow took Qin Tao and Tang Xuexin to the cliff, first whispered a few words in Tang Zhan's ear, and then disappeared in place and quietly left.

Qin Tao and Tang Xuexin stood quietly about five meters away from Tang Zhan, waiting for the Ten Thousand Demon Sect Sect Master to speak.

Turning around, Tang Zhan had a faint smile on his resolute face, a pair of eagle eyes completely fell on Qin Tao, and his deep voice took the lead in breaking the silence on the cliff: "Qin Tao, don't come unharmed." ”

The words suddenly made Qin Tao stunned on the spot, and his body froze like a thunderbolt on a sunny day. His lips opened slightly and he was shocked for a long time, and Qin Tao shook his head a little helplessly: "You still see it......"

Tang Xuexin on the side frowned slightly, and the beautiful-eyed fox looked at her feet suspiciously. Regarding her father's practice of exposing Qin Tao's identity at the beginning, she really couldn't understand the intention.

Tang Zhan smiled loudly, his breath gradually converged at this moment, his eyes did not leave Qin Tao for half a moment, and said: "I have recognized you since the time you brought Li Rongrong here, and I gave you the task of assassinating Leng Yuntian in order to be able to test you, but I didn't expect you to really live up to my expectations of you." ”

Qin Tao was speechless for a while, pursed his lips lightly, and at the same time scolded in his heart: "Damn, Lao Tzu almost died there, I'm embarrassed to say something to test me, I'm sorry!"

scolded and scolded, but after all, the other party was the head of a sect or Tang Xuexin's father, so Qin Tao didn't show too much dissatisfaction, but just revealed a trace of indifference in his tone: "Then what are you looking for me for this time?"

Tang Zhan smiled slightly: "This time it was Tang who wanted to ask Brother Qin for something. ”

In his words, he lost his share as the sect master, and his self-proclaimed name was changed to "Tang", I have to say that this sect master of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect is really heroic.

Qin Tao also secretly admired Tang Zhan's condescension, and immediately shook his head and responded: "Sect Master Tang doesn't have to be polite, just tell the kid if there is anything." ”

Tang Zhan nodded with satisfaction and said, "This matter is related to the Imperial Smelting Competition in the spring of next year, according to the information report under my command, the Imperial Family of the Haoling Empire will send a mysterious smelter to participate in the competition. In order to give back the color to the Haoling Empire, His Majesty the King has sent me a secret edict hoping that I can find a smelter who can match it. ”

Qin Tao listened carefully to Tang Zhan's narration, and kept pondering in his mind about how things might change. After Tang Zhan finished speaking, Qin Tao asked, "Isn't there anyone in the Royal Smelting Association who can match it?"

Tang Zhan shook his head: "The news was found out by an informant, in fact, we didn't know the origin of this smelter. I had no choice but to do this in order to cover up the fact that the news had leaked. ”

"I'm afraid that's what the king meant. Qin Tao said without hesitation.

"I know I can't hide it from you. Indeed, this is what His Majesty the King meant. Tang Zhan was very direct and did not deny it.

Qin Tao took his eyes off Tang Zhan and quietly fell into deep thought. If he promised Tang Zhan at this moment, it would mean that he, Qin Tao, would stand on the side of the Purple Moon Empire, even if he didn't reveal his identity, he would also be secretly connected with the Purple Moon Empire.

"Although I am hostile to the Haoling Empire, I haven't considered taking refuge in other countries, and this Tang War has invisibly laid out a path for me, which is really a good plan......" Qin Tao was silent, thinking so.

Perhaps seeing through Qin Tao's inner thoughts, Tang Zhan said very seriously: "Brother Qin, I know that you are in a neutral position, but now you and the Haoling Empire are already incompatible, the Haoling Empire and the Sword Cloud Sect both want to kill you and hurry up, if you help Tang Mou, the Ten Thousand Demon Sect and even the Purple Moon Empire will be grateful to you, and then you don't have to be afraid of the Haoling Empire and the Sword Cloud Sect." ”

Word by word, Tang Zhan said it just right, I am afraid that anyone will gladly agree to this resign, you must know that having the Purple Moon Empire and the Ten Thousand Demon Sect as the backing can be regarded as a great benefit.

Qin Tao shook his head gently, the corners of his mouth curved into a shallow arc, his eyes moved to Tang Zhan's body again, and responded: "Thank you for the kindness of Sect Master Tang, the kid also knows the powerful relationship here, but I have already spoken to Dongfang Yun, and my smelting method cannot be seen by outsiders, so the boy can't agree." ”

Tang Xuexin on the side couldn't help but be surprised when she heard Qin Tao's refusal remarks, her father was so condescending and offered a condition that was enough to soar, but she didn't expect the young man in front of her to refuse like this.

But Tang Zhan didn't have a trace of annoyance, he immediately laughed loudly, and actually praised Qin Tao: "Okay, it's worthy of Qin Tao, it's really admirable, my daughter really didn't look at the wrong person." Since Brother Qin is unwilling, then Tang will not be compulsory, this Dragon Spiral Cliff will always be open for you. ”

Qin Tao still smiled, and said to Tang Zhan: "That kid has thanked Sect Master Tang, if there is nothing else, then the kid will decide to leave." ”

Seeing that Qin Tao was leaving, Tang Xuexin immediately showed a trace of anxiety, and her mind was constantly searching for all the ways to keep the young man.

Tang Zhan said with a smile: "Brother Qin doesn't have to be too anxious, you can talk about it here for a while, my Ten Thousand Demon Sect has long regarded Brother Qin as a friend, and they all want to have more contact with you." ”

Qin Tao shook his head lightly: "Thank you Sect Master Tang and all of you for your love, but the kid has important things to do, so I hope that the sect master can make it convenient." ”

Seeing that Qin Tao insisted on Tang Zhan, it was inconvenient to say anything more, but seeing the anxious and distressed look on his daughter's face on the side, he hurriedly said, "Wait, Brother Qin, maybe I can help you solve the matter of smelting." ”

Tang Zhan couldn't help but feel a little weak when he spoke, he naturally didn't have a suitable way to cover up the smelting method, after all, the smelting competition was strictly regulated, and the reading space created by the cultivator was not allowed to be used in the competition. But for the sake of his daughter, even if he racked his brains, he had to think of a way to keep Qin Tao.

Qin Tao didn't feel Tang Zhan's somewhat messy aura, but just asked with some curiosity, "I don't know what Sect Master Tang can do?"

In fact, Qin Tao believed that Tang Zhan would have a way, his unfathomable strength and status as the sect master of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, Tang Zhan had convincing strength in any aspect. But what he didn't know was that Tang Zhan was deceiving him.

Suddenly, Tang Xuexin seemed to remember something, immediately held Qin Tao's arm, and excitedly interjected: "By the way, you can use the Sky Prism!"

Hearing this, Tang Zhan was also excited, and immediately laughed loudly: "Sky Prism! Yes, just use Sky Prism!"

"Sky Prism, are you talking about the magic weapon that can create illusions?" Qin Tao looked at Tang Xuexin with an excited face in surprise and asked suspiciously.

Tang Xuexin nodded excitedly, then took out a mirror the size of a palm from the soul ring and handed it to Qin Tao.

"This celestial prism can store all the behaviors of living beings and present them as real images. The last time I was in Liangmang Mountain, my master's electric hammer image was what it did. Tang Xue said happily, with a bright smile on her pretty face.

Looking at the Celestial Prism in his palm and carefully observing the gold lines around the mirror, Qin Tao couldn't help but secretly praise the treasure, and then asked Tang Zhan, "This Celestial Prism can really cover up my smelting method?"

Tang Zhan nodded seriously and responded, "Not bad." The Celestial Prism is an ancient treasure, and the illusion it creates is not easy to be discovered, even if it is a soul venerable, if you don't discern it carefully, you will be blinded by it. ”

"How long can the illusion last?" Qin Tao asked.

"An hour at most. Tang Zhan replied without concealment.

Qin Tao nodded lightly, looking at the Sky Prism and falling into deep thought. Tang Xuexin on the side seemed to notice something unusual, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

"An hour, it's still a little short......" Qin Tao looked directly at himself reflected in the mirror and muttered softly.

Tang Zhan's thick eyebrows finally furrowed, he really didn't understand what Qin Tao's smelting method was, it was not enough to hide for an hour.

"In Brother Qin's opinion, how long is it appropriate to cover up?" Tang Zhan asked puzzled.

Qin Tao came back to his senses, met Tang Zhan with his gaze, and responded: "An hour is also possible, but I'm afraid that the blades refined will be greatly discounted." ”

"Oh, I don't know much about smelting Tang, but Tang has seen the judging of the smelting competition, and it is not just determined unilaterally by the blade. Tang Zhan said.

"Yes. Sect Master Tang, what level is that mysterious smelter, has your informant revealed it?"

Tang Zhan shook his head a little helplessly: "This matter is all confidential in the Haoling Empire, and my informant also worked hard to get this information. However, according to the analysis of the president of the Royal Smelting Association, it is possible that the Haoling Empire will send a fourth-level smelter to come. ”

"Oh, only this kind of strength?" Qin Tao was a little skeptical.

"In fact, this smelting competition is also the empire's attempt to tap and cultivate rookie talents, so the level of the participants is not very high. Moreover, a fourth-level smelter can become a master that various empires compete for worship, so this kind of strength is also very powerful. ”

Nodding slightly, the corners of Qin Tao's mouth showed a hint of resolute arc, and said, "Okay, then the kid will use the Sky Prism to meet this mysterious master of the Haoling Empire for a while." ”

Dai Mei stretched, a bright smile lingered on his face again, Tang Xuexin excitedly grabbed Qin Tao's arm, as if the sky at this moment was extremely clear, and the sea of clouds was even more picturesque.
