Yun Lintian was completely unaware he had become a target of Weilan Tianjun. Right now, he had arrived before the Sky Courtyard and went in right away.
Passing through a small garden, Yun Lintian saw Principal Tian sitting near the small stream with a bamboo fishing rod in his hand. His current appearance was no different from an ordinary villager.
"Come, sit here." Principal Tian did not turn to look at Yun Lintian but pointed at a small stool on his right side.
Yun Lintian didn't think of anything and went to sit on the stool directly. He placed Linlin on his laps and picked a bamboo fishing rod placed on the ground up. He checked on the bait at the hook and swiftly swung the fishing rod, sending the fishing line away to the stream's surface.
Seeing Yun Lintian's proficient action, Principal Tian smiled faintly. "I heard you had encountered my ancestor's remnant soul?"
Yun Lintian replied with his eyes fixated on the water's surface. "Yes… And he told me to visit Senior."
"You are willing to call me Senior now? Where did the useless old man you often called me go to?" Principal Tian laughed slightly.
Yun Lintian was taken aback and smiled awkwardly. He didn't expect this old man to hear everything he said about him.
Principal Tian obviously did not mind about this. He said. "I know you have a lot of questions in your mind right now, but before that, let me tell you a story."
Principal Tian skillfully flicked the fishing rod and pulled the unlucky fish out of the stream. He glanced at the silver carp at the end of the fishing line briefly and let the fish go back to the stream before saying. "Once upon a time, there was a man who loved fishing. Every day, he would go to the river with his beloved fishing rod in the morning and return with an empty hand in the evening. People in the village where he lived would always tease him and say he wasn't suitable to be a fisher. However, the man didn't say anything and always gave these people a smile."
Principal Tian turned to look at Yun Lintian and asked. "Do you think he was untalented, as those people said?"
Yun Lintian shook his head. "I guess he loves the feeling when he's fishing, not the feeling when he got the fish. So he probably let those fishes go all the time."
Principal Tian took a deep look at Yun Lintian and continued. "You're right. It wasn't because he was untalented, but rather he didn't care about the result… One day, the man got an expensive fish. As usual, he let it go back to the river. Unfortunately, there were other villagers nearby the river that day, and they happened to see this scene. At that moment, they quickly used their landing nets to pick that fish up."
"This pitiful fish was finally captured by those greedy fishers. Because of guilt, the man could not bear to see the fish was taken away by them. He hurriedly negotiated with the villagers to let it go. Naturally, who would throw the benefit away like that? In the end, the man had paid with a high price to redeem the fish's freedom."
"For fear that the fish might get captured again if he sent it back to the river, the man decided to raise it in his fishpond. Days passed, the man got three more expensive fish and took them back to raise in the pond. He carefully raised them like his children and gave them a lot of treasures in his possession. He even taught them how to practice."
Principal Tian paused for a while and continued. "Until one day, these four fish had become powerful enough and started to have ambition. They were dissatisfied with the small pond where they lived and decided to expand the pond by occupying every inch of the man's backyard. Of course, the man did not blame them but also took the initiative to help them expand it."
"As time passed by, the four fish grew more powerful and started to have their own families. They divided the pond into four areas and made an agreement to not interfere with each other."
"It was until one day, the man had to leave the village for a long time. Before he left, he told the four fish to take care of his house. He divided the key into four pieces and let them keep it. Years after years, the four fishes gradually occupied the man's house, including every treasure he left behind."
Speaking to this point, a cold glint flashed across Principal Tian's eyes, but it quickly disappeared without Yun Lintian to notice. He continued. "When the man returned, he discovered he had no place in his house anymore, and when he tried to take the key back, three of the four fish were willing to return them to him, but one of them didn't. This one was the strongest among the four. Coupled with the treasure he had taken away, his strength was actually on par with the man, which rendered the man helpless. In the end, he had no choice but to leave his house to go somewhere else."
Yun Lintian seemed to figure out something and asked. "Is Senior trying to say these four fishes are the ancestors of the divine city's four clans? And the strongest one is the Peng clan? As for the man, he is Lord Sky Throne?"
Principal Tian slowly nodded his head. "Yes."
Yun Lintian's brows knitted together as he was puzzled. "How could the Peng clan's ancestor be on par with Lord Sky Throne… Wait a minute. A treasure!" Yun Lintian turned to look at Principal Tian and asked. "It's because of this treasure that Senior can't move the Peng clan. Am I correct?"
"You're smart." Principal Tian praised. "You are correct. The Peng clan has occupied this treasure, and it allows them to have a bargain with my ancestor."
"What is this treasure?" Yun Lintian asked curiously. A treasure that allowed the Peng clan's ancestor to contend with Lord Sky Throne. What was that?
Principal Tian went silent for a moment and uttered. "World's Destroying Bell."
