I Have Countless Past-life Identities-Chapter 161 - 89: The Black Mountain Case, Face-to-Face Confrontation—Tantai Yao: Are You Really Song Chai Xin?!_3

For a moment, Jixia even felt a bit guilty.

Because to be frank, from the beginning, Song Chai Xin was always indebted to Tantai Yao due to the favor owed by his biological mother, Xie Wei.

Years later, when he returned to his true identity as Jixia in reality, he invoked his own name to write a letter to Xie Qiaoxuan without exposing himself.

To understand what he had actually done as 'Song Chai Xin' in those closing 'interim' moments.

He didn't expect to run into the key player in this small Black Mountain!

But to speak of,

This moment of Tantai Yao.

Is far stronger than the past second step Carefree Realm.

Among the third step experts Jixia has encountered, to speak seriously...

Even the two elders of Yunluan Mountain, who reached far into the third step, are no match for his strength! 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Time ages us, turns youthful black hair to gray, while vitality declines from fierce to frail.

Yet, it also allows us to progress steadily step by step.

On this path that could stand shoulder to shoulder with 'sacred' martial artists...

To become an immortal legend of eternal fame!

Yet seeing Tantai Yao after decades, with the same defeated look after being broken by Gua Hua.

Jixia's heart stirred, yearning to know what he experienced over these years.

Back then when he left Zither Sword Pavilion, later serving as a guardian in Black Mountain, Jixia had heard Tantai Yao traveled to the nearby 'Tongye State' adjacent to Baoping State, but what transpired afterward was unknown to him.

As his heart pondered, Tantai Yao made a move opposite him.

With a wave of his hand, he painted a scene 'from nothing' with qi.

It was Zither Sword Mountain, the scenery midway during Tantai Yao's entrusted handover of Xie Wutong's message to the Xie Family.

"Someone sent a letter under my name to the Xie Family."

"You say that I coincidentally investigated it."

"How could I not come and explore then?"

Tantai Yao fixed his gaze earnestly on Jixia, word by word.

In an instant, Jixia understood the cause and effect.

"So that's it." He nodded gently, murmuring with a bitter smile.

Things would make more sense this way.

If he were Tantai Yao, seeing someone impersonating him while actually hitting the mark.

He himself would certainly have to come along.

As for Ji Han.

Not yet attaining Great Innate, not yet flawless.

The young lad, encountering those at the Third Step Peak, formidable individuals whose thoughts move and shape realms.

It's normal to be discovered.

It's lucky Tantai Yao could spare Ji Han, who seemed a 'Divine Blood Sect' rebel, without reporting to the Government Office.

Thinking this, Jixia exhaled in relief.

Had it been exposed...

The matter would be difficult to suppress.

After all, if smeared by the 'Divine Blood Sect' label, unless reincarnated as the Great Demon Hunter Master or her majesty the Empress personally intervenes!

Otherwise, even the Distinguished Officials...

Would be unrelenting in their reckoning!

"Your questions are answered."

"I also coincidentally do not want Ji Han to know some secrets, because he made a promise, some matters needn't involve him."

"But you're different, since ultimately my purpose here..."

"Is entirely for you!"

"A barrier is set outside, so now..."

"It's time you answered the question you avoided regarding the Wei Mansion."

Tantai Yao stood.

Pressing Jixia's shoulders down in an instant.

Feeling unparalleled pressure weighing on his heart.

"Song Chai Xin."

"How did you come to know this name?"

"And the foundation of 'Meteor Chasing Moon Fist Scripture' within you, along with... attaining the Realm of Fist Intent's Orthodox Fist Dao 'Fenghuo Langyan, Green Blood and Red Heart'!"

"Where did it originate?"

Tearing through the paper window directly.

Tantai Yao revisiting old grounds decades later.

Watching the young man before him entwined in riddles, holding his breath, not missing a single detail of his facial expressions.

"Elder Tantai... what answer do you seek?"

Jixia's face gradually cooled off.

This was intentional on his part.

For long, long ago,

There was someone, regardless of smiles or any expression, their actions remained nearly unchanged.

As two faces with slight differences.

Gradually overlapped and merged...

Tantai Yao's breath stifled, instantly dazed, as if witnessing that person return from the river of history!

And subsequently,

Jixia began straightforwardly, seamlessly without dragging it out:

"I am Jixia."

Upon hearing this candid response.

The opposite gray-clad man's hand trembled, his eyes showing visible disappointment.

"But,"

"I am also Song Chai Xin."

Boom!

Tantai Yao slammed the table, locking his gaze on Jixia, his eye corner twitching:

"Do you understand... what you're saying!"

Killing intent seeped from him, seemingly ready to take his life with a mere finger at the wrong words from Jixia!

However,

As Jixia confidently spoke.

Recalling a long-buried memory from deep within him he hadn't revisited...

The trace of killing intent.

Instantly 'came like a storm and went like dust'.

Dispersing completely without a trace!

"Do you remember the 'Jade Talisman' by Xuanqing Lake back in the day, Uncle Tantai?"

Thud!

Tantai Yao fell back into his seat.

That moment, he mumbled only one sentence.

"Indeed..."

"It was you!"

"But..."

"How are you still alive?"
