As a veteran spy, what kind of people does Ling Yunpo hate dealing with the most?
Naturally, he is the kind of person who is unreasonable but has a very sharp intuition.
Being unreasonable means that it is difficult to deceive using normal means; having a keen intuition means that the other party will easily catch your flaws if you are not careful.
Therefore, if Ling Yunpo had a choice, he would definitely stay away from such people... but now he has no choice.
I saw that the immortal opposite was wearing a Taoist robe. The clothes were not big, but they were loose on his body, which meant that the immortal's body was extremely thin and weak.
This is a typical symptom after being plundered by the devil: once an ordinary person is hit, his essence, energy, and blood will all be taken away immediately, leaving only an empty skin.
But this person must have used some means to barely resist the invasion of the devil at the last moment, which led to his half-dead state.
He spoke without moving his lips, but instead used some secret technique of transmitting sound, which meant that his lips could no longer speak and he had to maintain the fight against the demon at all times.
To put it bluntly, a cultivator in this state has to try his best to stay alive, and he will die if he is not careful. How can he have the mind to entertain and guide foreign cultivators?
Unless it’s… oh, I guessed it, it’s obsession.
Since this immortal called himself "Gu Jue", it means that he no longer has any elders or relatives.
As I guessed before, perhaps even the sect he was born in no longer exists, so his greatest obsession should be to pass on the sect's tradition.
After all, as long as he died here, all the unique skills of his sect would be completely lost. No matter how glorious they were before, they would all return to dust and no one would know about them. For a cultivator who once came from a big sect and attached great importance to the reputation and status of the sect, this would be even more painful than killing him.
With this analysis, it all makes sense why Su Jian was treated here back then, and why this immortal was so happy when he saw me and my senior sister.
Seeing Ling Yunpo pondering, the immortal said unhappily:
"Heh, they say that those born with a sword bone are upright and unyielding, and those born with a sword heart are smart and sharp, but why is it the other way around with you? Girls born with a sword heart are straightforward, while boys born with a sword bone are cunning... Asshole, are you secretly criticizing me!!!"
For the last sentence, he suddenly raised the volume, and since the sound was transmitted secretly, the effect was almost the same as speaking in someone's ear. This sudden roar almost deafened the two men.
An Zhisu quickly explained:
"Listen to me, Immortal! It's not like that! My junior brother has always been careful in his actions. He didn't have any bad intentions, but he had no choice but to do it!"
In her opinion, since this immortal had warmly entertained and instructed Su Jian, he was equivalent to being half of her master's mentor, and if rounded off, he was also the grandmaster of herself and her junior fellow apprentice.
Since he is our master, we must protect him!
So she told him everything about the relationship between herself, her junior brother and Su Jian, why Su Jian was forced to go into seclusion later, and how Qingluo Peak declined in Shushan...
"It is precisely because of this that my junior brother has to think hard day and night, exhausting all his energy to make long-term plans for the future of Qingluo Peak, all because of my useless senior sister..."
Speaking of the latter part, An Zhisu felt a little sad and could only lower her head and wipe away her tears.
After listening for a long time, the immortal was already furious and shouted:
"How dare you, Shushan! How dare you bully our Jianmen disciples like this? If I were still able to move, I would definitely wipe out your entire sect!"
"My disciple! Stop crying! After I give you the sword power, and your cultivation level improves greatly, go back and kill those insects in Shushan for me!!!"
"Disciple?" An Zhisu asked hesitantly.
"Haha, Su Jian is my disciple, so aren't you my great-disciples?" the old Taoist said proudly, obviously appreciating Su Jian's talent in swordsmanship.
"May I ask, Immortal?" Ling Yunpo saw that he was in a good mood, so he took the opportunity to test him and asked, "Our master Su Jian was a disciple of the Immortal Changmei in Shushan, but I don't know how he became your disciple?"
"Hmph." Seeing Ling Yunpo speak, the old Taoist's voice turned cold again, and it was obvious that he favored An Zhisu and disliked him. "Of course I know about this, but in the past, your master Su Jian was being hunted, and I, the old Taoist, rescued him. In order to repay the life-saving grace, he became my disciple, willing to take my mantle, and regard me as a half-master, equal to that long-browed immortal."
"So that's how it is." Ling Yunpo immediately understood.
It must be that after Su Jian was rescued by the old Taoist, the old Taoist said, "If you don't take me as your master, I will throw you out", and then the cheap master Su Jian had to kowtow to the old Taoist in order to save his life.
Tsk tsk tsk, Su Jian, ah Su Jian, I didn't expect that you, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, usually pretend to be so arrogant, but at the critical moment, you are so shameless?
"Let me test you two." When the Taoist master mentioned the Taoist tradition, he immediately became excited and spoke much faster. "What swordsmanship did Su Jian teach you?"
"To reply to Master." An Zhisu quickly changed the subject, "Master taught us the Seven Killing Sword Technique."
"Hahaha!" The old Taoist immediately laughed wildly, "Isn't this Seven Killing Sword Technique the orthodoxy of our Sword Sect? And you still say that Su Jian is not my disciple? What else do you have to say, my disciple with mixed thoughts over there?"
Wait, wasn't the Seven Killing Swordsmanship created by Su Jian himself? Ling Yunpo and An Zhisu were both stunned.
Then he realized: If it was taught by this old Taoist, he really couldn't tell anyone after returning to Shushan, otherwise the Long-browed Immortal would definitely be furious if he knew that his disciple had inherited another Taoist tradition.
But if it was Su Jian's own sword technique, and Su Jian learned it from the Changmei Immortal, then the Seven Killings Sword Technique would be an inseparable part of the Changmei Immortal's Taoist lineage. The situation would be completely reversed.
“Since you have learned the Seven Killing Sword, I will test you with the Seven Killing Sword.” As soon as the old Taoist finished speaking, a flying sword broke out from the group of swords stuck in the ground, swaying in the air, the sword body trembling slightly, and the sword tip showing its sharp edge.
"How about it, who will come first?" The old Taoist asked with great interest, "If you can satisfy me, I will naturally give you good things."
Ling Yun Poxin said that Senior Sister was born with a sword heart and was a technical person. At least she had to have some understanding of the enemy's sword moves in order to better formulate tactics and play to her advantage.
I was born with sword bones, and my flying sword is even tougher and stronger, with infinite power. Why don't you let me explore the way, and you can also get more information from the side.
"I'll go first." He took a half step forward and said loudly.
"Back off!" The old Taoist suddenly shouted angrily, "As a junior fellow apprentice, don't you know the order of seniority? Why are you fighting with your senior sister? It will be your turn after your senior sister finishes the competition!"
Damn it! Ling Yunpo was also furious. Didn’t you ask “who goes first”?
So this half-dead old man is just mad at me, so whatever I do is wrong, right?!
