"Ouyang Zhao."

"I learned about your life through the Huangliang dream."

"After you discovered your wife's identity as a demon, your first thought was not to communicate with your master, but to run away with your pregnant wife."

"I initially thought you were in a state of panic, but I later overturned that conclusion."

"The reason is simple: your escape route was carefully planned, and you even had time to hide the Taiyin Suming Sword. This is enough to prove that you did not lose your mind at the time."

"In this case, there is only one reason why you didn't go to communicate with your master: your master was also in trouble at that time."

"That's not the case." A voice suddenly came from the sea of ​​fire, "In that era, the Sun and Moon Swords were in the hands of the sect I became a disciple of, the Emei Sword Sect."

"There are also many sword cultivation schools within the Emei Sword Sect. My master is from the Daijiao Peak branch, which is not a major school within the sect."

"That is to say." Ling Yunpo understood immediately, "After the fact that your wife was a demon was exposed, the Jianmen leaders tried to stabilize you two sword masters. They did not come to arrest you right away, but chose to eliminate your back-up guarantee in the sect first, that is, your master's lineage."

"I'm sorry to my master." said the voice in the fire.

"The monks of your master's lineage were killed one after another, which aroused your vigilance." Ling Yunpo continued, "You began to look for the truth, and finally found out that your wife was actually a demon. You couldn't bear this reality, but you had no other relatives, friends, or teachers in this world. This is why you wanted to take your wife to the East Emperor Demon Realm and leave this world forever."

"Even so, I am still a traitor." The voice in the fire said, "What's the point of you telling me this?"

"I didn't choose to give the Sun True Desolation Sword to anyone at the beginning, not only because I wanted to use it to protect Xiao Jing and my daughter, but also because I had no one to entrust it to."

"Emei Sword Sect... my master's old enemy in the past instigated a few greedy supreme elders to massacre all of our lineage. I wish the entire Sword Sect would be wiped out."

"It's just that I haven't been able to do it until I die."

"There is no Emei Sword Sect now." Ling Yunpo said softly, "Your enemies are gone."

"Then who do you think I should give the Sun Sword to?" The voice in the fire said in a low voice, "Give it to you? You are too weak, you can't protect it."

"I have an elder who is at the immortal level." Ling Yunpo showed a sincere expression, "He is outside and can wield the Sun True Darkness Sword."

"This is it." The voice in the fire said, "If you want to take over the Sun True Darkness Sword, I have two conditions."

"First, the Sun and Moon Swords are treasures of the human race that suppress the demon race. They must not fall into the hands of the demon race. The person holding the swords must be a human."

"Second: Even if it is a human, I cannot hand it over to someone with ulterior motives. He must win my trust and recognition."

"A person with ulterior motives?" Ling Yunpo asked in a low voice.

"Those who are heartless and only think about themselves in everything are those who have ulterior motives." said the voice in the fire.

So the Jueqing style doesn't work, Ling Yunpo thought to himself, and said, "This is not difficult."

"My trust is easy to gain. I don't bother to deal with anyone with ill intentions." The voice in the fire said, "What is really difficult is my recognition."

"Back then, I protected Xiao Jing from escaping into the Donghuang Demon Realm, but I died in a battle with pursuers outside the gate. Now, only a stubborn desire remains in my body. It supports me in my trance and fights against the Sun Sword to seal the passage between the human and demon realms."

"My obsession is to confirm the situation of Xiao Jing who has returned to the East Emperor Demon Realm and the daughter in her belly."

Lingyunpo: ...

The voice from the fire said again:

"She was seriously injured at the time and lacked elixirs to treat her. I pushed her into the gate forcefully. I was very worried about her condition..."

"Stop!" Ling Yunpo shouted hurriedly, "Brother Ouyang, Senior Ouyang, you are already an ancient man from 100,000 years ago. You suddenly want to inquire about the situation of your wife and children. This is too outrageous!"

“Do you think I don’t know?” The voice in the fire said mechanically, “One hundred thousand years have passed. If our descendants had survived and had not embarked on the path of Taoism, perhaps they would have reproduced for tens of thousands of generations.”

"Then why did you make this ridiculous request?" Ling Yunpo was speechless.

“This is obsession.” The voice in the fire said, “It is because this obsession is so difficult to let go that my remaining body has persisted here for more than 100,000 years.”

"There's more." Ling Yunpo continued to complain, "Your wife and daughter are in the East Emperor Demon Realm. How can we go there to find out? Unless you release the Sun's True Fire that is blocking the passage."

"No." The voice in the fire said firmly, "Once the Sun's True Fire is released, any immortal can attack and snatch the Sun's True Sword... I can't let this happen."

"If you don't remove the Sun's True Fire, we won't be able to pass through the Donghuang Demon Realm!" Ling Yunpo said madly.

"Then you must first remove my obsession and gain my approval." said the voice in the fire.

"Are you creating a logical deadlock here?" Ling Yunpo felt like vomiting.

"…This is obsession." The voice in the fire said, "Sorry, Ouyang Zhao is dead. I am just his obsession. If you want to get the Sun True Darkness Sword, you must get rid of me."

Ling Yunpo had the urge to turn around and leave immediately, but after finally calming down, he asked:

"What about the Taiyin Suming Sword? Where did you hide it?"

"Same as the Sun Sword." said the voice in the fire.

"The Taiyin Suming Sword is also here?" Ling Yunpo was shocked at first, and then he reacted and said that the other party meant "if you can get rid of my obsession, I will not only give you the Taiyang Zhenmei Sword, but also tell you the whereabouts of the Taiyin Suming Sword."

So I can't get around your obsession, right?!

"If I find your descendants, how can I confirm it with you?" Ling Yunpo asked with a sigh.

"Bring him here," said the voice from the fire, "I have a way to confirm the blood relationship."

"As long as he is indeed my descendant, I will accept whatever Xiao Jing's final outcome is in his words."

"What if your wife dies?" Ling Yunpo asked again, "What if she leaves no offspring?"

"Then find their remains." The voice in the fire said, "The reason why Xiao Jing was able to transform into a human and hide her bloodline from the examination to join the Emei Sword Sect was because she had a strange object with great sealing power. She used it to seal her own Sky Fox bloodline."

"You can start looking for that rare item first, maybe you can reach your goal faster."

"What strange thing?" Ling Yun asked with his eyes wide open.

"Back then, Nuwa refined six pieces of Heaven-Repairing Stones, using five to repair the sky and leaving one as a reserve." The voice in the fire said, "That strange object is the fragment of the last Heaven-Repairing Stone."
