"The Bloodthirsty Sword?" Lin Yun frowned slightly but remained silent.
It wasn't that he didn't want to tell, but he knew that if the old man knew his background and that he didn't actually have any powerful connections, the old man might change his attitude.
However, if he were lying, his mental strength level was far below that of the old man, and the old man would definitely be able to sense it.
Therefore, anything he says will be ineffective.
"It seems that you obtained this Bloodthirsty Sword by chance and do not know its origin." Seeing Lin Yun's reaction, the old man immediately understood something and spoke in a gentler tone.
Actually, Lin Yun guessed wrong.
Just because Lin Yun comes from the Immortal Origin Holy Land, this old man doesn't dare to treat Lin Yun badly. He doesn't have a powerful background.
Whether someone has a powerful background or not is sometimes something they don't know. Perhaps a big shot from the Immortal Origin Holy Land has his eye on Lin Yun, and Lin Yun himself doesn't even know it.
The old man had lived a very long time and had seen far too many of these kinds of things.
He dared not take the risk.
They dared not take risks on the Immortal Origin Holy Land.
"The Bloodthirsty Sword is an extremely powerful divine and demonic artifact. It has had many owners, but all those who obtained it met with bad ends, including a very powerful expert. Now that I have encountered it, I cannot let you keep it. I will temporarily keep this divine and demonic artifact for you. When you return, or inform your elders and let them handle it, I will return it to you with both hands." The old man explained very kindly, his eyes flashing with light.
He has his own plans.
The Bloodthirsty Sword is said to enhance the wielder's power, allowing it to absorb the life essence of others and strengthen itself.
Every owner of the Bloodthirsty Sword has grown stronger rapidly.
He has been at the half-step Great Power realm for a long time now, just one step away from the Great Power realm.
If the Bloodthirsty Sword works on him, it won't be long before he breaks through to the Great Power realm.
If a powerful figure from the Immortal Origin Holy Land were to come looking for him then, it wouldn't matter if he offered up the Bloodthirsty Sword.
To be honest, he was also somewhat wary of this bloodthirsty sword. If he were to keep it for a long time, he was afraid that it would have some negative effects on him.
Perhaps, the best outcome would be for him to return the Bloodthirsty Sword to the Immortal Origin Holy Land once he breaks through to the Great Power realm.
“But my two friends…” Lin Yun said.
"That's easy, I'll try to see if I can lure them out," the old man said quickly.
He had already discovered that the Bloodthirsty Sword seemed to have been damaged, and its strength had been greatly reduced. In general, its current level was not high. He was, after all, a half-step Great Power expert, and he believed that drawing out those two spirits should not be a problem.
"Buzz—"
As he spoke, the old man unleashed his powerful spiritual energy, which quickly penetrated the bloodthirsty sword.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Powerful killing intent continuously assaulted the old man's mental strength.
However, this Bloodthirsty Sword is now of a somewhat low level, and the level of killing intent it releases is also limited. It is far below the level of the old man's spiritual power and has not had much of an impact on him.
"It seems that this bloodthirsty sword does indeed affect the wielder. However, this killing intent is not too strong for me and should not have too much of an impact on me..." the old man thought to himself as he sensed the killing intent.
"Um?"
After a while, the old man's expression changed.
"It doesn't work..."
The old man's face looked rather grim.
He already knew why the two spirits couldn't leave the Bloodthirsty Sword space—it was simply because they were tainted by the aura of the Bloodthirsty Sword. He planned to separate this aura from the two spirits.
However, he now finds that he cannot do it.
If forced, both spirits may collapse completely.
These two spirits...
But it was the aura of two large trees in front of a sage's shrine!
Even without Lin Yun by his side, he wouldn't dare do anything to these two spirits!
“Young friend, this matter is a bit troublesome. I cannot completely separate the aura from these two spirits. Whether I forcibly separate them or forcibly extract them, it may cause very serious damage to these two spirits…” After a moment, the old man looked up at Lin Yun and shook his head.
"However, this also demonstrates the strangeness and power of this Bloodthirsty Sword. I cannot leave this Bloodthirsty Sword on you, young friend, otherwise, it might harm you." The old man paused and said.
"However, young friend, rest assured, with the Bloodthirsty Sword in my possession, I will absolutely protect your two friends and ensure nothing happens to them. It would be better if you informed the powerful figures of the Holy Land and let them handle this Bloodthirsty Sword," the old man continued.
“This…” Lin Yun pondered.
Where in the Immortal Origin Holy Land could he find any elders or powerful acquaintances?
However, he couldn't say these words aloud; in fact, he suppressed these thoughts deep within himself, not daring to even consider them.
"Or, you can come back to me to retrieve the Bloodthirsty Sword when you are strong enough," the old man said with a smile. "You are so young yet you have such great strength. Your talent is remarkable. I imagine it won't be long before you are strong enough to control this Bloodthirsty Sword."
This thought came to him suddenly, on a whim.
Lin Yun's thoughts were well concealed, and he could not discern Lin Yun's specific ideas.
Therefore, he did not know the specific reasons for Lin Yun's hesitation.
Perhaps this young man doesn't have a very powerful backer?
Thinking about it, this possibility is not small.
Although the other party came from the Immortal Origin Holy Land, not everyone from the Immortal Origin Holy Land is powerful.
On the contrary, the Immortal Origin Holy Land has many ordinary people with low strength.
However, this young man's strength is so great that he is clearly not an ordinary person, and it is quite normal that he has a powerful force behind him.
However, even in the Immortal Origin Holy Land, powerful experts are not all commonplace.
This young man should have realized his own limitations, so it's perfectly normal that he couldn't find a powerful figure to negotiate with him for the time being.
This is the first reason.
The second reason is that the young man has already experienced the power of the Bloodthirsty Sword and is reluctant to give it up. If he tells his elders about this and they take back the Bloodthirsty Sword, the loss will be great.
At that moment, his words worked.
He gave the young man hope that he could regain the Bloodthirsty Sword through his own strength, thus reducing the likelihood that the young man would tell the powerful figure behind him about this matter in a short period of time.
He will also have more time to use the Bloodthirsty Sword.
He hasn't used the Bloodthirsty Sword yet, and he doesn't know how long it will take for it to raise him to the Great Power realm. What if he's halfway there when the experts from the Immortal Origin Holy Land arrive? Should he give it to them or not?
The second possibility is also quite plausible, and it's something he really hopes for.
Let's set a small goal first, like remembering the website address of Shukeju mobile reading platform in one second:
