Chapter 108 The Guide (Part 2) "Wait." ...

"etc."

Li Youyang sneered, "Why, any last words?"

The guide made way and said, "A man of insight is a wise man. Please go in and look for it."

Li Youyang's eyes flashed coldly: "It's too late."

He casually swung his sword, but was stopped by Bei Liyuan mid-swing: "We are here to search for treasures, there is no need to kill everyone. Besides, there is only this one guide left. If we need a guide later, we will be in trouble if we kill him."

Li Youyang silently clenched his fists. Although he felt unwilling to give in, he was afraid Bei Liyuan would notice if he insisted, so he could only suppress it for the time being: "Forget it."

The two entered Huangjue Temple and searched carefully but did not find the magical treasure.

Bei Liyuan said disappointedly: "It seems that it is not here either."

Li Youyang's eyes were cold and gloomy. Where on earth did the old fox hide the treasure? It was really annoying.

"Let's go back to the inn and discuss it."

Li Youyang nodded and looked at the Guide: "You come with us."

The Guide curled his lips and said, "Sir, do you really want to take me with you?"

Li Youyang said coldly, "If you don't leave, you will die."

The guide said coldly, "You didn't say you won't leave."

Bei Liyuan was puzzled: "Why bring him along?"

Li Youyang's eyes flashed with murderous intent, naturally intending to kill him to silence him, but he said, "Just in case."

As the three of them left Huangjue Temple, they saw Chi Ye waiting at the door with murderous intent: "Bei Liyuan, Li Youyang! Hand over the Supreme Spiritual Treasure."

Just as Bei Liyuan was about to speak, the 'Guide' suddenly flashed to Chi Ye's side and pointed at 'Li Youyang': "The Supreme Spiritual Treasure is on him. I saw him put it away in the main hall with my own eyes."

Li Youyang said solemnly, "Don't talk nonsense. If the magic treasure was with me, why would I bother coming here to look for it?"

The guide said anxiously, "This cultivator, the spiritual treasure is really with him."

Chi Ye looked at Li Youyang with cold eyes: "Anyone who possesses a spiritual treasure will naturally not admit it. Hand over the spiritual treasure, and I will spare your life."

Li Youyang said coldly, "I've already made it clear that the spiritual treasure is not with me. Even if it were, you wouldn't have the strength to steal it."

Chi Ye sneered: "Finally you admitted it. If you don't hand it over, then you will die."

The two of them immediately started fighting, and Li Youyang soon found himself at a disadvantage. He had only recently entered this body and was not yet fully in control. This was not going to work, so he hurriedly looked towards Bei Liyuan and said, "Come and help me."

Bei Liyuan folded his arms and said, "Master, please don't joke. It's just a Chi Ye. You can do it with just a flick of your finger. Why do you need my help? Besides, I am sincere to you, but you deceived me like this. You have clearly found the treasure, but you still want me to accompany you to search randomly. I am very sad."

Li Youyang said anxiously, "The spiritual treasure is really not with me. How dare you trust a guide instead of me?"

Chi Ye's moves were even more brutal. After a quarter of an hour, he was already covered in wounds. Li Youyang roared, "Bei Liyuan, do you want to see me die like this?!"

Bei Liyuan then set off lazily and saved Li Youyang at the critical moment: "Chief Chi, with me here, you can't take the treasure away today."

Chi Ye sneered, "I can't leave, and neither can you. Without a guide, we'll all be trapped here forever."

Then he slashed at the 'guide' with a sword. The 'guide' was watching the fun and did not expect that this mad dog would suddenly target him. It was impossible for him to escape. At this moment, a muffled groan was heard in his ears, and then he saw Bei Liyuan protecting him with a pale face.

Chi Ye was slightly startled. "This is strange. I was wondering why you didn't protect Li Youyang like a child today. It turns out that you have changed your mind and fallen in love with this puppet."

Bei Liyuan looked back, a murderous intent emanating from his body. His sword fingers moved quickly, and tens of thousands of sword marks rushed straight towards Chi Ye. Chi Ye sneered and raised his hands to form a formation, but the formation was broken in just a moment. Seeing that the situation was not good, he hurriedly flew away on his sword, but was still seriously injured by the sword marks, but his life was not in danger.

Li Youyang struggled to stand up and looked at Bei Liyuan: "You've already discovered it."

The Guide sighed, "This drama can't go on any further, but I've pretty much learned everything I wanted to know, so it's time to change back."

Li Youyang sneered, "Once my soul-changing formation is activated, it will be impossible unless I die...ah!"

With a howl, his soul was instantly pulled out of his body, but in just a moment, both souls returned to their respective places.

Li Youyang took a healing pill and secretly circulated his spiritual energy. A quarter of an hour later, his injuries were healed.

At this moment, the guide still looked at Li Youyang in disbelief: "This is impossible, my magic..."

Bei Liyuan curled his lips: "I dare not say anything else, but in the field of magic, no one has ever been able to defeat my master."

The guide clenched his fist and said, "Since you've already discovered it, why don't you expose it?"

Li Youyang's sword finger flicked lightly, and a fragment emitting a strong demonic aura hovered above his palm. "I once asked you if all puppets could carry lanterns or not, and you said you didn't know. At that time, I guessed you were untrustworthy, but I thought perhaps the examiner behind this set it up this way on purpose. Later, when we arrived at the palace, you again took the initiative to ask us if we had any questions and listed the options for us. I asked you another extremely boring question, and your face darkened at that time. But puppets shouldn't have such wonderful mental activities. When I met Chi Ye's guide, I was even more certain of my thoughts. There is a big problem with you. Puppets don't escape their master's control for no reason."

"So you cooperated with me to exchange spiritual consciousness because you were curious."

Li Youyang nodded. "It's a pleasant surprise. I actually found a fragment of the Demon God in your long memory. Although it's less than one-tenth of the one that the Red Fire Clan escaped with, it's still a clue."

Bei Liyuan was a little surprised: "No wonder Qiongcang couldn't find it after searching for so long. It's hidden in the memory of a puppet. Who would have thought of it?"

Li Youyang flicked his sword finger slightly and put away the fragments. "Your spiritual intelligence must be due to this fragment. I originally wanted to find out the reason and take you out of this secret realm, but now the matter is of great importance. I can only refine you and then find your origin."

The guide said anxiously, "If you can lead me out, I can tell you where my master is."

Li Youyang stopped and said, "Go ahead."

Just as the guide was about to speak, the air shattered into dust, and a man's voice echoed through the void: "I already know about the matter of the demon god, and I will investigate it myself. You should focus on the secret realm assessment first, and I will give you an explanation afterward."

The two bowed to the void and said, "I will follow your orders, Senior."

"The Qiankun Fan is in your hands?"

Bei Liyuan said respectfully, "Yes."

"Let's continue the assessment."

There was no more sound after that.

Li Youyang said coldly, "It seems that our assessment process has long been under the watchful eyes of this senior."

Bei Liyuan crossed his arms and muttered quietly, "Doesn't that mean I won't have the chance to be intimate with Master? I was hoping to pamper myself with Master and have some meat after being apart for so long."

Li Youyang frowned.

…

In front of the water mirror, the black-robed monk crossed his arms: "I told you I would definitely let him go. There's no way I could make such a mistake."

The white-robed monk picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Yes, yes, I was wrong... Puff!"

At this point, Bei Liyuan muttered, "Oh! This young man!"

…

Bei Liyuan hurriedly approached Li Youyang with a smile and pulled his sleeve. "Master, I was just joking, don't be angry. So, should we go to the next level now, or go back to the inn to rest for a night?"

Li Youyang looked behind Bei Liyuan and his eyes darkened: "I'm afraid we have to go to the next level."

"Um?"

Just as Bei Liyuan was about to turn around, Li Youyang had already put his arm around his waist and flew away on his sword.

Bei Liyuan subconsciously wanted to look back, but Li Youyang said gently, "Don't look."

Bei Liyuan guessed that it must be the army of bean worms that had arrived, and nodded softly.

After leaving the town, the two arrived in the city and found an inn to stay in. Bei Liyuan stretched lazily, "I wonder what this level will test? Well, come to think of it, we passed the last level without discovering any new rules, so this one is really confusing. But this time, no matter what happens, Master must inform me beforehand. Don't put yourself in danger again."

Li Youyang hummed.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Bei Liyuan opened it lazily. A monk in white robes was standing outside. He bowed respectfully and asked, "Are you two waiting for a guide?"

Bei Liyuan was stunned for a moment. No wonder there were no new rules. It turned out that the town was not the complete second level.

Seeing that it was already evening, Bei Liyuan directly denied it: "I'm too tired. Let's talk about it tomorrow. Please go back, sir."

The monk in white bowed again and turned to leave.

After Bei Liyuan closed the door, he said, "This guide feels a level higher than the ones in the town, more like a human."

Li Youyang's eyes were cold and clear: "Maybe he is a real cultivator."

"Um?"

Li Youyang poured a cup of tea: "This doesn't seem to be a created space, it's more like a small world."

Bei Liyuan rubbed his brows and said, "If this is the case, then many things will be hindered. After all, we cannot harm innocent people."

"Hey~, Master, I haven't had a single day of free time since entering the Great Thousand World. It's a rare opportunity to go out and experience the atmosphere of fireworks."

Li Youyang put down the teacup: "Alright."

Walking on the street, Bei Liyuan couldn't help but sigh, "I kind of miss the days in Kyushu Continent, especially after I became the savior in everyone's eyes. Every time I went out, I always returned with a lot of things."

Li Youyang smiled and said, "We'll go back after the Yuemai issue is resolved."

"Um."

"Gentlemen, tonight is our Lantern Festival. Would you like to order two lanterns?"

Bei Liyuan: "It's still bright out in the day, it won't be too late to buy it in the evening."

"These two don't know that during the Lantern Festival in Yuecheng, we are not allowed to sell lanterns at night."

"Why is that?"

"There are a lot of people at night. One time, a lantern vendor's cart accidentally caught fire, injuring many people. That's why this rule has been in place since then."

Li Youyang took out a spirit stone: "Two lanterns."

As night fell, the streets became busier. Li Youyang and his companions walked to the lakeside, where an old man selling lanterns asked with a smile, "Would you like to buy a lantern and make a wish? It's not expensive, only five cents each."

Bei Liyuan pinched his waist and said, "That guy during the day really was trying to rip us off. He said there were no lanterns to sell at night, yet he still sold them at such a high price. If I run into him again, I'll definitely give him a beating."

Li Youyang smiled and said softly, "Come here and light the lantern."

Bei Liyuan hummed, ran over eagerly, took a lamp from Li Youyang, and they both put it into the water: "What wish did Master make?"

Li Youyang looked at the lantern that was gradually disappearing into the distance and said, "I heard that wishes won't come true if you speak them out loud."

Bei Liyuan said, "Then I won't tell you either."

At this moment, Li Youyang's eyes darkened slightly: "Something is not right."

Bei Liyuan also noticed that it had become unusually quiet around the two of them, and there was no one around them.

"Boundary."

Bei Liyuan's eyes darkened slightly as he stepped forward, protecting Li Youyang behind him. At the same moment, the lake began to churn, and then a group of fish monsters leaped out of the lake and stood in the void. The leader looked at the two of them and asked, "Are you sure it's them?"

The fish demon next to him took out the portrait and checked it: "Confirmed, they are indeed the participating monks."

"Get started."

Then the fish monsters started throwing knives at Bei Liyuan and the other man. Bei Liyuan waved his sleeves lightly, and the knives turned into ashes as soon as they were thrown. Seeing this, the fish monsters changed to throwing explosive pills, but they were still easily blocked.

"Boss, none of what we prepared will work on them. Why don't we just use the ultimate weapon?"

"As you say."

Just when Bei Liyuan was curious about what the ultimate weapon was, he saw rows of poop thrown towards him. Bei Liyuan used a formation to protect the two of them first, then looked at these fish monsters with cold eyes: "Give it back to you."

After a sound, the sword finger moved slightly, and all the shit turned back and directly poured over the fish monsters. Some of the unlucky ones were forced to taste it and started to vomit.

"Boss, this...are you still throwing it away?"

"Throw it away! We've come all this way, and now we're not only going to earn no spiritual stones, but also be covered in stinky feces! Increase the firepower!"

The fish demon secretly complained in his heart: "These days, it's really hard to make money and it's hard to eat shit!"

The result was that they were drenched even more miserably. After just an hour, the fish monsters dispersed and the barrier disappeared.

Bei Liyuan removed the protective formation: "It's really inexplicable."

Li Youyang said coldly, "The rules say you can't go out at night."

Bei Liyuan suddenly realized: "I thought I didn't have to abide by the rules when I came to other small worlds. I was careless."

"Go!"

As soon as Bei Liyuan finished speaking, he heard this sound in his ears, and then he saw the fish demon leader sticking his head out and throwing a pile of poop at them.

Bei Liyuan was completely annoyed: "I really gave you too much face today."

Then the sword pointed at the fast-moving poop and turned back. The leader tried to escape but found that a formation had imprisoned him and controlled him to open his mouth as wide as possible, and then... he just watched the poop fall into his mouth. What was even more hateful was that Bei Liyuan controlled him to chew a few bites.

After Bei Liyuan solved the formation, the fish demon leader started vomiting.

Bei Liyuan was full of pride and was about to show off to Li Youyang when he saw Li Youyang walking away from him two steps nonchalantly with a gloomy face, as if he didn't know him.

Beiliyuan:???

"He was the one throwing shit to the fish just now, wasn't he?"

"Yes, it was him. I saw it with my own eyes."

"Hey~ How can there be such a low-class person, throwing things around everywhere."

"Stay away from him. He must be mentally ill. No normal person would throw poop to feed the fish."

"Yeah, yeah, let's get away from him. What if he suddenly gets crazy and throws his shit at us? My clothes are new."

…

After returning to the inn, Bei Liyuan was completely dejected. Li Youyang didn't say a word along the way. He thought that he must have made Li Youyang angry.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the inn, Li Youyang burst into laughter, laughing so hard that tears came out: "Hahahaha... Throwing shit to feed the fish..."

Bei Liyuan: ...

"I've never... hahaha, heard such a funny joke before. Hahaha, throwing shit to feed the fish... hahaha... I've seen snowball fights, mud fights, and water fights, but this is the first time I've seen a shit fight, and both sides are having so much fun... hahaha... well..."

Bei Liyuan swallowed Li Youyang's laughter. Li Youyang tried to push him away, but Bei Liyuan hugged him tighter and kissed him harder. He didn't let go until he saw red in the corners of Li Youyang's eyes. He said softly, "Master, is it funny?"

Li Youyang quickly shook his head, but still couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Bei Liyuan felt that this was definitely the darkest black history in his life, no doubt about it, but it was worth it as he could make his master so happy.

…

The next morning, the white-robed monk arrived again: "Are you two waiting for a guide?"

Bei Liyuan nodded: "Please lead the way."

After the two followed the white-robed monk across two streets, the white-robed monk suddenly stopped.

The two men looked at each other. The rules stated that if the guide stopped, they had to turn back. The two men returned to the inn without hesitation. It was not that they were worried about not being able to win, but the opponent really did not log off, and they did not want to become famous in that way again.

In front of the water mirror, the black-robed monk frowned. "What are you doing? You were the one who wanted to be a tool, and now... huh?"

The monk in white quickly dodged to the side of a man in blue, took a deep breath, and patted the man lightly. The man turned around and glanced at the monk in white: "What are you doing?"

"Sorry, I recognized the wrong person, the wrong person."

"ill."

The white-robed monk sighed silently, "I thought it was him, but it turned out to be a false alarm."

The black-robed monk said coldly, "If you can't do your job as a tool, then get out. Luckily, they followed the rules and returned to the inn, otherwise they would have been exposed right away."

The monk in white robes said impatiently, "I know, I know. I will go back and look for them."

"Tomorrow."

"Okay, tomorrow is tomorrow."

Another day passed, and the white-robed monk finally brought the two men to the arena: "You two will wait here."

After a while, the white-robed monk returned and handed two tokens to them. "This is a token of your participation in this competition. After you win, you will receive a new token. With that token, you can go to the Sword Pool to test your sword skills."

They both nodded.

The white-robed monk continued, "The registration fee is fifty spirit stones per person, a total of one hundred spirit stones for the two of you. Please give it to me."

Bei Liyuan looked at Li Youyang and said, "Master, I remember there is a rule that guides never ask for rewards. Is this guy trying to trick you again?"

Li Youyang nodded slightly: "Very likely."

The monk in white frowned and said, "This is not a reward. I paid it for you first."

Bei Liyuan crossed his arms: "But we didn't ask you to sign us up."

The white-robed monk clenched his fists tightly. He felt like he and that scoundrel were on the same page, and he was really determined to fight to the death. He gritted his teeth and said, "That's not necessary. Please enter. I'll wait here for you two."

The two entered the arena and won the championship in less than half an hour. They got a new token. The white-robed monk used a teleportation formation to take the two to the sword pool. In the center of the sword pool stood a giant black sword with the word "Chenyuan" written on the hilt.

"It is said that this sword was left here during the battle between the God of War and the God of Demon. Whether it is destined for you two depends on fate. Please come forward and test the sword."

Ever since seeing this sword, Bei Liyuan inexplicably felt somewhat familiar. He stepped forward almost subconsciously, and the sword began to vibrate with his movements, as if expressing the joy of reunion after a long separation.

Li Youyang folded his arms and watched with the white-robed monk: "Is this really the Sword of the God of War?"

The monk in white robes said: "It's just a rumor, but it's hard to tell whether it's true or not. After all, that battle happened so long ago, and those who witnessed it are either dead or have become gods."

Li Youyang looked at Bei Liyuan, feeling a bit worried for no reason. The swords of the God of War all have sword spirits, so how could they easily recognize someone else as their master? Such a reaction could only mean that Li Yuan was its original owner. He had heard in the past that gods would descend to the mortal world to create disasters in the God Realm. If Li Yuan was the God of War creating the disaster, he would one day return to the God Realm. It seemed that he had to practice harder, otherwise if this person escaped back to the God Realm, how could he catch up with him?

Just as he was thinking about it, the whole area was shaking violently with the sound of swords, and Li Youyang and the white-robed monk flew up on their swords.

After the sword rang, Chen Yuan separated from the sword pool and turned into a normal-sized immortal sword hanging in front of Bei Liyuan. Bei Liyuan raised his hand and grasped the hilt of the sword. The sword body instantly emitted a dazzling light, and the entire world was under unprecedented pressure. Even Li Youyang and the white-robed monk were affected.

When the light dissipated, the pressure also disappeared, and the two men flew to Bei Liyuan's side on their swords.

The monk in white bowed and said, "Congratulations, sir, on becoming the master of this sword."

Li Youyang looked at Chen Yuan, Bei Liyuan hurriedly handed it to him. Li Youyang was about to take it, but Chen Yuan suddenly broke free and hung in front of Li Youyang, half a head taller than Li Youyang, looking down at him as if in contempt. The sword spirit thought to himself: How dare you touch me?

Bei Liyuan frowned slightly and was about to move when Li Youyang raised the corner of his lips, his eyes cold. He dodged and grasped the hilt of the sword. The sword began to struggle violently, but it calmed down within three breaths. A red flame was seen floating in Li Youyang's other hand. "I took this when I got the fire lotus seeds last time. It's the best flame for smelting immortal swords."

The sword spirit thought: A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. When my master has finished his tribulation and regained his divine position, I will definitely teach you a lesson.

Li Youyang's sword finger gently stroked the sword body, and actually cast a tracking spell on the sword body.

Blade and Soul Inner Heart: What do you do.

After the spell was completed, Li Youyang returned the sword to Bei Liyuan. Bei Liyuan couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips. Master, you are afraid that I will run away. Hehe, Master has possessiveness of me. I am so happy.

The sword spirit, who had been about to complain, was completely stunned: Is this still my invincible, cold and aloof master, the god of war who looked down upon the world and never spoke more than three words to anyone?!

Then he comforted himself: It's okay, it may be because of the tribulation, it will be back to normal after returning to the throne of God.

The white-robed monk said, "You two have obtained the divine sword. Please return and wait. Tomorrow we will officially set off for the third stage of the trial - escaping from Death Valley."

Li Youyang: ...

Bei Liyuan couldn't help but complain: "Isn't this name too random? In fact, there is no need to force a name."

The monk in white coughed twice in embarrassment. Originally, there was indeed no name for this place. He just came up with this name casually, thinking it was more suitable for the design of this secret realm training.
