Under the moonlight, Tai Pan sat in the courtyard, and the long sword at his waist was slanted on his knees. The direction and angle of the hilt were exactly the most convenient state.

Close his eyes, Taipan could clearly feel that dozens of gazes appeared around the desolate and dilapidated courtyard, and each gaze had unconcealed malice, which made his hair stand up all over his body.

Under this malice, the roar of insects hidden among the grass in the courtyard suddenly became quiet, and the bright moonlight seemed to turn gloomy and pale at this moment.

Tai Pan didn't move, but his right hand slowly moved forward, and then grabbed the hilt of the sword on his knee.

The silver thread wrapped around the hilt of the sword, without any gap, was stuck together with the palm lines of Taipan's palm.

Soon, half an hour passed.

In half an hour, there were a lot more eyes around the courtyard, but no one took the lead in breaking the strange tranquility between each other.

It seemed vaguely that Taipan seemed to notice that among these countless malice eyes, there was another majestic and vast gaze, which fell from the sky to this place. The gaze had been waiting for everything in front of him for a long time and was very interested.

"It's a little trouble!" Feeling the increasing gazes around, Taipan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If a practitioner attacks him at this time, he will not be so worried.

But none of these practitioners have taken action, but they just gave him endless pressure with their malicious eyes.

Under this gaze, every minute and every second, Tai Pan's mind was tense and there was no slight relaxation.

If this continues, I am afraid that when someone really takes action against him, he will not even have a chance to resist.

The so-called "chang" means that after a long period of tense mind, there will inevitably be a period of trance, and this is also the time when practitioners are most relaxed.

If a practitioner takes action against Taipan at this time, there will definitely be a chance to cause fatal damage to Taipan.

The two biggest differences between practitioners and ordinary creatures are: one is lifespan, but the heaven and earth essence surrounding them. Under the cover of this heaven and earth essence, ordinary offensives are almost impossible to cause harm to practitioners. However, except for this layer of heaven and earth essence, practitioners are no different from ordinary creatures. They are just flesh and blood, and if swords are added to their bodies, they will also be injured and die.

The fatal injury for mortals is no exception for practitioners.

Especially, Taipan at this time, because of the drop of blood in the Tianmen, his qi and blood were depleted. Just in terms of physical constitution, he might be slightly worse than those ordinary mortals.

"Why haven't you moved yet!" One hour later, Tai Pan's mind was almost reaching its limit.

In his imagination, the demons of Wu'an Hou Ou's mansion should have reacted after observing the changes in the Censor's Mansion. No matter whether they noticed their identity, the position they showed at this time was consistent with them. No matter what, they should not stand by and watch their situation at this time.

"It's really troublesome!" After a sudden moment, a sense of gratitude suddenly emerged in Taipan's heart.

The countless malicious gazes around and the depression behind the gazes all show that in Chang'an City, sects, scattered immortals, and demon spirits, have formed a relative balance. While restraining each other, they are cooperating with each other. Around Chao Cuo and this scroll of vassal strategy, one big net after another has formed, including all the practitioners in Chang'an City.

Feeling the malicious and extremely depressing gazes around him, Tai Pan couldn't help but sigh.

He began to think that if his choice was like a normal practitioner, then at this time, he was afraid that he would be in this complex relationship, struggling in this big net formed by countless favors, relationships, interests and plots, and finally become part of this big net, becoming one of the countless malice and depression around him, and every move was involuntarily.

Thinking of this, Taipan couldn't help but shivered, and became more and more glad that his choice was made.

As he expected, as long as he appeared in front of Chao Cuo and showed his own position and attitude, Chao Cuo would definitely not reject him, because Chao Cuo had no time anymore.

Confucius said that at fifty, one knows the destiny of heaven, and the so-called destiny of heaven is life and death.

Mortals over fifty years old will inevitably be aware of their destiny before death is approaching. This is what is called, knowing destiny at fifty.

Chao Cuo is now in his seventies. At this age, he must be more sensitive to the approaching death.

As the center of the storm in Chang'an City, with the target surrounded by this big net, Chao Cuo definitely hopes to tear open the tacit understanding of Chang'an City against him more than Taipan, and tear open the big net that made him unable to see hope at all.

He will definitely choose to gamble.

Because if you bet, you may not necessarily win, but if you don’t bet, you will definitely lose!

The moment the moon is in the middle of the sky, it comes from the support of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion and finally arrives.

The extremely low tiger roar, ape cry, wolf howl, and bird singing endlessly sounded in this Chang'an city.

This sound is made by the stimulation of the demon spirits, and it spreads in Chang'an City with the stimulation of heaven and earth as a medium. Therefore, in this Chang'an City, only practitioners can hear the howls of the demon spirits one after another.

"What's your name!" A moment later, the young man named Xiang Lian, who Taipan had seen in the village, appeared on the wall, looking at Taipan, Xiang Lian's eyes were cold.

"Depending on your cultivation level, you will be highly anticipated by the sect if you want it."

"Your sect may have devoted all the strength of the sect to cultivate a person like you."

"If you fall because of a moment of recklessness, your sect may decline, or even be cut off from its heritage."

"You think clearly that Chao Cuo is only an ordinary person and lives only a hundred years old. Even if he is a 2,000-stone master, what can he do?"

"Compared with you, he is still insignificant."

"Are you really going to give your life for him, or even the inheritance of the entire sect?"

"You are practicing hard, and the sect's infinite expectations are just for dying like this?"

"What can you do if you help Chao Cuo send this strategy of reducing the power of power to the court?"

"It's just a bet, what's the difference between winning and losing from us?" Xiang Lian's eyes were cold and fleeting, and then his voice became gentle, reasonable and convincing. If Taipan was just an ordinary human practitioner, perhaps he would have really agreed to Xiang Lian's proposal.

After all, just like what Xiang Lian said, using his own name to exchange for the victory or defeat of a mortal bet, even if those mortals have high positions and power, it is not worth it.

But unfortunately, Taipan is not an ordinary human practitioner.

"For you, this is just a game bet."

"But for me, for Wanling Mountain, life and death are all tied to the front line." Taipan thought in his heart. He did not answer Xiang Lian's proposal, but just tightened the hilt of the sword in his hand and responded.

"Forget it, I'll give you another night to think about it."

"We will never hold back until dawn."
