"From the ancient city?"
Crazy Sword raised his eyebrows, "I remember you said that there is no one living in the ancient city."
"The junior did say that, but that's not a human being."
Xiang Sheng's tone was slightly heavy, "I don't know what kind of existence that is, but I can be sure of one thing: it's neither human nor ghost.
He once appeared in Xuanwang City, and later harassed me in Siji City, insisting on forcing me to practice the Supreme Forgetfulness Method. I refused to learn, and he seemed intent on keeping me in the Siji Secret Realm forever. However, he was unable to do so, and I escaped.
Crazy Sword was just listening casually at first, but halfway through, his expression changed. "Are you sure he's talking about the Supreme Forgetfulness?"
"That mysterious old man has said this many times, and I won't be mistaken."
Xiang Sheng's eyes lit up slightly, "Senior, do you really recognize this person?"
Crazy Sword raised his head and drank a glass of wine, his heart instantly in turmoil.
There are more than one people in this world who are obsessed with the Supreme Method of Forgetting Emotions, but there is only one person who lingers between Xuanwang City and Siji City.
Thinking of this, Crazy Sword put down his wine glass and waved his sleeves, and a pen and paper appeared on the table: "Do you still remember what he looks like?"
"Of course I remember."
Xiang Sheng picked up her brush and started painting. The torture brought to her by the mysterious old man was too profound. She remembered that face clearly and could not forget it at all.
Before long, a lifelike old face appeared on the paper.
The face was so old that it looked unrecognizable, but from the familiar features and eyebrows, Crazy Sword recognized at a glance that it was the person he was thinking of.
What the third junior brother Xiao Wei practiced was the Supreme Method of Forgetting Emotions.
Didn't he escape long before the catastrophe came? How could...
Crazy Sword suppressed the throbbing in his heart and continued to ask as if nothing had happened: "Besides Xuanwang City and Siji City, have you seen him anywhere other than the ancient city?"
Xiang Sheng shook his head. "He seems to be restricted in some way and can only move within the ancient city."
"That's right."
Mad Sword sighed softly, his eyes becoming increasingly complex. "As you thought, it's not a living thing, nor is it a ghost. It's just the obsession of a dead person."
"Obsession?"
This was the first time Xiang Sheng heard such a statement and was quite surprised. "Can obsession hurt people?"
"When one's cultivation reaches a certain level, not to mention obsession, even a single hair left behind may be able to develop spiritual intelligence."
Crazy Sword explained, and looked at Xiang Sheng with a more cautious look than before.
There was one more thing he didn't say, obsession...it doesn't stick with everyone you meet.
Why was Xiao Wei pestering Xiang Shengbufang? He had been eyeing her since the time in Xuanwang City.
If Xiang Sheng hadn't lied, when she was in Xuanwang City, she was just a casual Qi-refining cultivator, and hadn't yet become a formal disciple of Siji City, let alone had nothing to do with the Puppet Sect.
Xiao Wei is still obsessed with the Supreme Forgetfulness Method and would never pass this method on to outsiders easily, but he insists on forcing Xiang Sheng to learn it and threatens to kill her if she refuses.
Could it be...
Crazy Sword's heartbeat quickened slightly, his gaze fixed on Xiang Sheng. "That obsession first appeared before you. What did it say to you? What did it do?"
Xiang Sheng felt a little nervous. It was obvious that Sword Madman had a guess about the identity of the mysterious obsession, but he was not going to tell her.
When they met for the first time, the "Breath Concealment Technique" given to her by the mysterious obsession was related to a corner of the Heaven-Deceiving Formation Plate and was related to the Heaven-Qing, so she absolutely could not say more.
Thinking of this, Xiang Sheng's face remained unchanged. He shook his head and said, "When we first met, he just smiled at me and said nothing."
"Is that so..."
Mad Sword retracted his searching gaze, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Xiang Sheng, come here again tomorrow."
Xiang Sheng was confused, "Senior, didn't you say that I have mastered the Four Extremes..."
"The Four Extremes Prohibitions have been taught."
Crazy Sword smiled. "Aren't you a sword cultivator? Can't I teach you something else? I'm sure you've heard a lot about Ghost Gorge. It's always good to have more skills. Learning a few more techniques won't hurt you."
Xiang Sheng was immediately delighted when he heard this and quickly stood up and saluted: "Since Senior is willing to teach me, I would be more than happy to accept."
Mad Sword chuckled, waved his sleeves and said, "Go ahead, tomorrow will be the same time as before."
"Junior, take your leave."
Xiang Sheng left with brisk steps. Crazy Sword looked at her departing figure with a heavier gaze than ever before.
If this child is really the only successor of his Puppet Sect, then this trip to Guijian cannot be "doing our best and leaving the rest to fate", but must be a success!
Xiang Sheng returned to the house, and the joy on his face disappeared completely in an instant.
She is not a fool. The change in Sword Crazy's attitude is so obvious, how could she not notice it?
Just because he heard about the mysterious old man, he suddenly became interested in her. Why?
A thoughtful look flashed across Xiang Sheng's eyes.
Crazy Sword specifically asked about Xuanwang City. This city must have an unknown connection with Siji City. The formation spirit of Xuanwang City recognized the Qitian Formation Plate and called her the successor of the "Puppet Sect". Could it be that Crazy Sword also regarded her as a successor?
What role does Qingtian play in the Puppet Sect?
In the past few months, she has asked about the ancient catastrophe many times, but Crazy Sword is always secretive and avoids answering. Could it be related to Qingtian?
But during that adventure, Qingtian left her nothing but the formation plate and a special storage ring in the letter. He didn't even consider her as his successor.
He rubbed his brows with a headache and sighed softly to Xiang Sheng.
She had to get through this difficult time first. If she couldn't reincarnate, no matter how much she thought about it, it would be useless.
The next day, Xiang Sheng arrived as promised.
The sword madman was sitting cross-legged under the tree as usual, but usually his hands were empty, but today he had two wooden swords between his knees.
