Chapter 570: Upgrading the Hammer

Tao Zi looked at the broken sword lying flat in front of her, and could vaguely sense the consciousness sleeping inside.

She realized more clearly than ever that her "inner demon" was not an inner demon, but an independent entity.

The Sword Immortal smiled at her and said, "The transformation of your inner demon into a spirit won't affect your strength. What do you think?"

Tao Zi reached out and grasped the broken sword, saying, "Please wait a moment, Senior. I want to wake it up and give you a reply."

The smile in the Sword Immortal's eyes grew slightly wider, and he said, "It's up to you."

Tao Zi closed her eyes and carefully sensed the consciousness in the broken sword. She recalled over and over again the tragic experiences of her or other reincarnated emperor's daughters, trying to wake up the inner demon.

Perhaps the inner demon was too troubled to bear it, so he gave a vague response. Although it was not clear what he meant, his impatience could be clearly sensed.

Tao Zi was a little uncertain, and the Sword Immortal asked with a smile, "Do you need help, Master?"

Tao Zi was not polite and thanked him.

The Sword Immortal waved his hand, and the inner demon's cursing voice suddenly appeared in her ears:

"Nonsense, being a hammer spirit is better than being absorbed by you!"

"No, I just fell asleep for a while. Why are you becoming more clumsy?"

"With your brain, without me to protect you, you will be killed by that lunatic Tianhun sooner or later."

…

After the scolding, Tao Zi almost couldn't control her expression. At other times, she would just ignore it, but when the sword immortal was present, it was somewhat different.

The Sword Immortal suppressed his smile and looked at her. She nodded with a numb face, took out a pink sledgehammer and handed it to the Sword Immortal.

The sword immortal stretched out his hand, and a cauldron appeared in front of her. He took a drop of blood from her fingertip and put it in together with the pink hammer and the broken sword.

Tao Zi hesitated for a moment and said, "Senior, this..."

"Um?"

Tao Zi paused, feeling that it was a bit shameless to call him "senior" again. After a long silence, he lowered his voice and said, "Master, can you change the color and shape of this hammer?"

Well... it feels a bit nice to call the Sword Immortal Master.

The Grandmaster smiled and said, "This is the first gift your brother gave you. It is of great significance. Are you sure you want to change it?"

Tao Zi struggled for a while, but finally gave up.

Anyway, I'm used to it, so it doesn't matter...

The inner demon seemed to have something to say, but Tao Zi couldn't hear it clearly.

The master smiled and glanced at the stove, saying, "It will take some time to train. Why don't you tell me what you think?"

"What?" The topic changed so quickly that Tao Zi didn't react for a while.

The Grandmaster reminded him, "Ye Cheng is just Cong Tian. It's not that easy for him to die in your plan. His abilities and talents are average, but his ability to protect himself is first-rate. If he were alive, someone would come forward to protect him, even for the sake of Xuan Yue Continent's so-called combat power."

Tao Zi said calmly, "It's as expected. I didn't intend to kill him all at once. I just wanted him to be incapable of targeting my fellow disciples. But, Grandmaster, you seem to know Congtian very well?"

The Grandmaster said, "His senior sister was one level below me back then, but she was also able to ascend. Naturally, we know each other and can be considered friends. I've heard that Ye Cheng is the worst person of his generation in that sect."

Tao Zi was silent for a moment. How bad would it have to be to hear about it...

But think about it, the worst existence in a big sect is probably comparable to the chosen ones of an ordinary sect, or even stronger.

The master said again: "Aren't you afraid that he will come back? As I said before, this person is not good, but he has many evil thoughts."

Now that things have come to this, Tao Zi has to understand even if she doesn't understand.

Suddenly, she acted helpless and said, "Master, even if I wanted to, it depends on whether the Heavenly Lord of Stopping Killing is willing to take action. Besides, if it really comes to that, the Heavenly Lord of Stopping Killing may not be able to kill Cong Tian."

The master sighed, "Where's your master? Even if he's just air, he can still be useful."

Tao Zi was silent.

The master handed her a token and said, "Give it to him after you get out. It can help him vent his anger and you can use it later if needed."

Although Tao Zi didn't know how to vent her anger, she still took it and said, "Thank you, Master."

Seeing that she seemed to be worried, the master asked, "Is there something else holding you back?"

"If you kill..."

The master shook his head and said calmly, "Don't kill him easily."

Tao Zi stood there in a daze.

The master did not explain too much, but just released a video with a calm expression.

Tao Zi watched the video with a serious face and understood what his master meant.

The master's expression remained unchanged as he said, "He's adept at creating opportunities, and he could come back at any time. After all, the original risk is already too great, so why not go one step further?"

Tao Zi said helplessly in a low voice: "Master, I know that the dead are the safest, but I can't think of any other way. I... am too weak."

She could think of seven or eight risks that her master mentioned at random, but everything has risks, and this was the best solution she could think of.

The master sighed softly and said, "This is Jianshan...Huangshan's fault for not being able to support you."

Having said this, he paused and uttered a few more words.

Tao Zi stood up in astonishment, looked at him, and said, "Master, if we do this, let's not talk about whether Zhisha agrees or not. Even if he agrees, Wen...Master may not be able to do it."

The master smiled slightly, raised his finger, and drew three green sword auras on her forehead, saying, "This is your enemy. It would be most satisfying if you took action yourself."

Tao Zi vaguely sensed the power of the sword energy and responded with mixed feelings: "Thank you, Master."

As for whether she would be scolded for ignoring the overall situation, that was not something she considered. After all, there was no need for them to take action.

The master looked at her and suddenly said, "If someone accuses you of disregarding the overall situation..."

Tao Zi paused for a moment, then interrupted Master rudely and asked, "Master, can you read minds?"

The master was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing, even laughing out loud.

Tao Zi was stunned. The master said, "This is the most basic ability to observe people. It's not mind reading. You can acquire it even if you live for a thousand years."

Tao Ziqing coughed and changed the subject nonchalantly: "I don't care what they say. After all, my reputation hasn't improved in the past few years."

The master looked at her and smiled, "It's not a question of whether you care or not, but as a descendant of the Desolate Mountain, no one has the right to accuse you of disregarding the overall situation."

The next moment, white mist and black dust rose up and flew across the sky.

The figure of the master blurred in an instant.

When the scene in front of him became clear again, Tao Zi stood there, without reacting for a long time.

The swordsman was still sitting high on the table, but four thick black chains bound his hands and feet tightly.

At the end of the chain were two unknown black mist beings. They stood on both sides of the table, silently imprisoning the sword immortal.
