Xiao Yuhan thought for a moment and then asked, "So why did you choose me?"
Long Xiaoyu stared sincerely at Xiao Yuhan: "Because you will believe me! Moreover, your unique Azure Lotus Dao Seal can help you maintain your sanity. Although I don't know how strong the effect is, from this point of view, you should be the first choice."
"So you still haven't said how I can win against Senior Brother Liu."
Long Xiaoyu looked at him and said, "I have cultivated the Blood King Scripture for many years and my cultivation has now reached the Void Returning Realm. I will give you my spiritual power! You will definitely be able to break through to the Void Returning Realm. At that time, with the power of the Blood King Gu, you may be able to fight him."
"Give me your spiritual power? I've never heard of any method of transferring power in this world. Besides, without cultivation, who will save Senior Brother Liu?"
Long Xiaoyu continued, "The Blood King Scripture is a miraculous technique. If I'm willing, I can give you all my cultivation. As for who will go to save Liu Jiantang, as long as I retain 10% of my power, I can use the method to remove the Gu. How much spiritual energy you can absorb depends on your constitution. The Blood King Scripture was originally a method to save people, but it's not without reason that it has gradually been called an evil technique over the years. Blood energy originates from the heart and can influence a person's character to some extent."
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Yuhan asked, "But how can you guarantee that I can recover after becoming the Blood King Gu?"
"I added my own heart's blood when I was practicing the Gu. When I remove the Blood King Gu, that drop of heart's blood will be your antidote!" Long Xiaoyu said solemnly.
Xiao Yuhan pondered for a moment, then continued, "You're going to die, right? Although I don't understand the Blood King Gu, I know the connection between heart blood and the human body. My antidote is only when your heart blood dissipates after you die. So you planned to die from the beginning, right? So there really isn't a better way? I have no choice but to sacrifice your life?"
Long Xiaoyu was incredibly intelligent; she understood Xiao Yuhan's meaning. Although she didn't understand why this man was willing to believe her, nor did she understand the reason for the pity in his eyes, she was unwilling to explain further at this moment. "Things have come to this point; it's a dead end. Even if I do everything I can to survive after saving Liu Jiantang, what then? Will your senior brothers and sisters let me live?"
"I can help you!"
"No need!" Long Xiaoyu said decisively, then changed the subject and continued, "Now I'm only asking if you're willing to believe me and become my Blood King Gu!"
Xiao Yuhan pondered for a moment, thinking that although Long Xiaoyu was unconventional and often did things that were not recognized by the world in the original story, she was never truly evil at heart. He dared to say that even the self-proclaimed righteous people of the Heavenly Sword Sect were not as honest as this woman deep down. So after thinking it over again, he agreed and said, "I believe you! But don't let them know about this!"
Long Xiaoyu nodded, then said, "I also need to remind you that I don't know how much of your sanity you will retain after becoming the Blood King Gu, so you must understand what you are going to do before entering the blood pool! Also, my heart's blood needs to be added to the blood pool during the Gu-cultivation process to become your antidote, but this antidote may not necessarily completely eliminate the Blood King Gu. However, you should be able to regain your sanity without any problem, but I cannot be sure what specific effects it will have on you! Even so, you are truly willing, right?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuhan nodded, "I believe you!"
But no sooner had she finished speaking than a childish voice came from behind her, "I don't believe her!"
Turning around, I saw Bai Yao had arrived at some point. Judging from his appearance, he must have overheard Xiao Yuhan and Long Xiaoyu's conversation. He was holding his master's hand, his eyes reddening. "Master, don't believe her, she's a member of the Demonic Sect..."
Xiao Yuhan frowned. "Let go!"
"Master... Yao'er won't let you go! I won't let you take this risk today no matter what."
Looking at Bai Yao's appearance, Xiao Yuhan felt a warmth in his heart. He squatted down and patted the little girl's head. "Disciple, do you know the saying that when the sky falls, the tall ones hold it up? Your senior uncles used to be those tall ones. Now that they can't hold it up anymore, your master has to step up. In this world, there are always some things that someone has to do!"
"Yao'er doesn't want Master to go... Yao'er wasn't afraid in the Blood King's Cave before, she just wanted to find Master! But now that we've finally found Master, you can't abandon Yao'er again..." Bai Yao became more and more aggrieved, her voice filled with heartbreaking sobs.
At this moment, Xiao Yuhan said in a serious tone, "Also, disciple, I must tell you something else today. You just said that Long Xiaoyu is a member of the Demonic Sect, but so what? A person is a person, good or bad, right or wrong, black or white, aren't they all the same? Taoism says that good and evil are only a thought away. Even I, your teacher, have struggled between doing good and doing evil. But later I understood that as long as you maintain your original heart, no matter where you are or who you are, it all depends on that original heart. The Buddhist saying that you can become a Buddha by laying down the butcher's knife is not without reason. Although I hate those bald bastards, they are not wrong about this. When you firmly establish your compassionate heart, then it is not too late. Alright! Go back and rest quickly. You cannot tell anyone about this!"
After hearing Xiao Yuhan's words, Long Xiaoyu, who was not far away, looked astonished. At this moment, he had a slightly different opinion of these people who once claimed to be righteous. He wondered why he had never seen that Xiao Yuhan was someone who could say such things.
But Bai Yao still refused to let go. She was terrified, and her voice trembled as she said, "Master... don't go..."
"You dare disobey your master's orders now?" Xiao Yuhan's expression changed, and he immediately became angry.
Sure enough, only in this way would Bai Yao be afraid. The little girl was so scared that her hands trembled, but she still stubbornly grabbed her master's sleeve.
Helpless, Xiao Yuhan raised his hand and gently patted Bai Yao's nape. The little girl immediately fainted. Then, Xiao Yuhan shouted to the rocks behind him, "Junior Sister, come out! I knew you were eavesdropping there. Quickly take Yao'er back!"
Nangong Ling'er slowly walked out, her expression downcast. She then took Bai Yao and murmured, "Senior brother... is it really necessary to do this?"
Xiao Yuhan glanced at her and smiled slightly, "If I had a choice, I would hope that the five of us brothers could return to the sect safely and drink and sing. But things have come to this. If you were in my shoes, what would you choose?"
Nangong Ling'er shook her head, then said, "Senior brother, I've studied medicine since I was a child... perhaps I'm more suited to become..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Yuhan raised his hand to stop her, then patted Nangong Ling'er's head and said, "Tell me, what kind of brother in this world would let his sister go on such a dangerous adventure?"
