Chapter 165 Partiality

After hearing the other party's words, Lan Xi finally understood who this person was!

He is the evil cultivator who created the 'Evil Spirit Demon Cat'!

He was also the one who killed Sha 11!

Judging from the reason for its death described by 'Sha 11' and the length of time it took to refine the 'Evil Spirit Demon Cat', the evil cultivator in the darkness must be at least nearly a hundred years old.

Such an evil old cultivator definitely has some sinister tricks up his sleeve and should not be underestimated.

Seeing Lan Xi being asked by him, the old Taoist priest laughed softly and said "Hehe~".

"Someone stole my things originally, and I will never let that person go, but if you...hand over the evil demon cat, I will spare your life."

What he said was "save a life", but as for whether the owner of this life would have any defects as a lesson, that is not certain.

It was not difficult for Lan Xi to hear the bad intention in his words.

She looked calm and composed.

"Stealing your things? The 'Evil Spirit Demon Cat' was buried underground, I just picked it up."

Lan Xi said, chuckled softly, and continued.

"Besides, among evil cultivators, it's normal to steal other people's things, not to mention that I just encountered them and picked them up."

Lan Xi has no intention of returning the 'evil demon cat'.

Because even if this thing is returned to its original owner and into the hands of the old evil cultivator, the old evil cultivator will not let him go!

Lan Xi had heard from Guan Hui before that the two first-class monks sent by the Monks Association to the haunted house in the amusement park had encountered danger one after another.

The second-class monk Kong Xianling died tragically in the wild. When his body was found, it was already infested with maggots and stank!

The old evil cultivator is not a good person. He is going to deal with me anyway, so why should I return the things?

Hearing the little girl's words, the old Taoist priest laughed a few more times.

"You're quite brave. Aren't you really afraid that I'll... kill you?"

As he spoke, the old Taoist priest seemed to have thought of something.

He continued to ask.

"Or is it because you feel you have someone to rely on, so you are fearless?"

Listening to the old evil cultivator's speculation, Lan Xi understood that he regarded him as the second generation of some powerful evil cultivator.

Thinking of his master, Lan Xi couldn't help but shake his head in his heart.

Not to mention that her master is dead, even when her master was alive, she didn't have the ability to walk all over the evil cultivation world.

After all, when she was twelve years old, her strength was already stronger than her master.

Lan Xi was thinking when he heard the old evil cultivator across from him speak——

"My name is Taoist Guanghong. Decades ago, I was already famous in the evil cultivation world. Even your master would be a junior in front of me, let alone you."

Hearing the old evil cultivator introduce himself, Lan Xi was stunned -

"Master Guanghong?"

She had actually heard of this name.

Noticing that the little girl was obviously aware of his tone, the old Taoist couldn't help but ask, "Who is your master?"

Lan Xi hesitated for a moment, then announced his master's name, "Master Guanghe."

The old Taoist priest obviously didn't expect that after so many years, he would still be able to hear a familiar name.

“Guanghe…you are actually Guanghe’s apprentice!”

Guanghong and Guanghe are two similar names, and there is a reason for that.

Lan Xi had heard from his master that he had a senior brother who was ruthless and was called a 'natural born evil cultivator' by their master, who was also Lan Xi's grandmaster whom he had never met.

That senior brother’s name is Guanghong.

So the old evil cultivator in front of her was actually her uncle-master...

However, Lan Xi did not feel careless just because the other party's identity was somewhat related to his own.

Anyone who is called a 'natural born evil cultivator' by the master is definitely not a good person!

There will be no harmony and friendship among fellow students.

Sure enough, after a moment of surprise, the old Taoist looked at Lan Xi with more resentment in his eyes.

"I didn't expect Guanghe to accept a disciple. I wanted to let you go, but now it seems... you must die!"

The person Taoist Guanghong hated most in his life was his junior fellow apprentice Guanghe!

My junior brother is the master's late-born son. When he was born, the master was already over 80 years old, and he was also in his 50s.

After the junior brother was born, he was naturally loved extremely by the master.

So from that time on, the master started to be partial to his junior fellow apprentices, and would leave anything good to them.

In fact, Guanghong didn't care about food, clothing and other expenses. After all, he was in his fifties at that time. How could he compete with a baby for worldly possessions?

What made him most angry was that his master handed over the entire sect's inheritance to his junior fellow disciple!

If he wanted to obtain an evil spirit, he would need to spend a lot of effort to create an evil soul and expend a lot of energy on refining it before he could cultivate an evil spirit of average strength.

But his junior fellow apprentice Guanghe, with the help of his master, subdued his first evil spirit at the age of sixteen.

That was because my junior brother was not very talented, so he was only able to master the evil spirit at the age of sixteen.

Guanghong knew very well that if it were not for the limitation of his qualifications, his master would have wanted to offer the evil spirit to his junior brother when he was one year old!

In addition to the evil spirit, the inheritance of the evil cultivators is also a knot in his heart.

Originally, the master had seven disciples including him.

Over the past few decades, the other six people were secretly eliminated by him one by one!

The evil cultivators were a group where the strong would survive and the weak would be eliminated. Even though the master knew it, he did not stop them from fighting.

The master's inheritance should have fallen into his hands.

However, as the master's biological son, the existence of the junior brother made things that were originally a foregone conclusion change.

It was absolutely impossible for the master to watch his own son being killed, so when Guanghe was young, the master took good care of him.

After Guanghe grew up, his master expelled him, his most outstanding disciple, for no reason at all!

The purpose was just to hand over everything of the sect to Guanghe.

For various reasons, Guanghong hated his junior brother to the core!

Now seeing my junior brother’s apprentice, even though the little girl looks innocent and harmless and people can’t bear to kill her, but since her master is Guanghe, she must die!

The fierce killing intent burst out, letting Lan Xi know that the 'uncle master' in front of him would not let him go.

Lan Xi had heard his master mention his senior brother Guanghong before, saying that his senior brother was very strong, but he never mentioned that there was any grudge between them!

Now that he found himself in a bad situation, Lan Xi did not hesitate at all and immediately took out a thin bamboo tube from the small cloth bag he carried with him.

"come out!"

The next second, the murderous 'Soul-Slaying Sword' flew out of the bamboo tube!

As soon as the 'Soul-Slaying Sword' appeared, all the cat and dog souls in the entire animal ghost field began to tremble.

Even the old Taoist priest Guanghong, who was not far away on the opposite side, sensed a hint of danger!

"Is this the inheritance that Master passed down to me?"

Taoist Guanghong murmured, his eyes turning red with jealousy!

As he said this, he looked at Lan Xi.

"As long as I kill you, this thing...will be mine, right?"

He smiled, his face full of excitement.

At this moment, in his eyes, it seemed as if the 'Soul-Slaying Sword' had already become his possession!
