Master?
The words of the Xiao family ancestor were like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing a storm. The head of the Xiao family, Xiao Ningyuan and others were even more stunned, their eyes widened.
Although Gu Qingxi's status as the master of medicine of the Renxin Alliance and the master of alchemy of the Zhendan Alliance was indeed transcendent, and it was even more precious to be valued by Fu Chaoyuan, the leader of the Demon Medical Alliance, but such a status was not enough for Xiao Changfeng to recognize him as the master.
He was the ancestor of the Xiao family that even the four major demon cultivation families had to avoid!
"Do you recognize me?" Gu Qingxi also looked at Xiao Changfeng in confusion.
It was not the first time that she was recognized as the master or master, but she still had some memories of those people before, but she had no impression of this Xiao family.
"I am only the seventh generation descendant of the Xiao family, so of course I don't recognize the master.
However, my ancestor left behind a divine artifact, which contains the soul mark left by the master. I was moved by the soul mark before, so I hurried out of retreat." Xiao Changfeng explained while taking out a green flag.
The flag was about half a foot in size, engraved with runes, as well as the sun, moon, mountains and rivers.
"Yin Yang Soul Calming Flag!" Gu Qingxi's heart was shocked, and a somewhat vague figure emerged in her mind.
She used to look down on the world and amazed the entire cultivation world. Countless cultivators followed her from afar.
Almost every one of these people was a famous genius and powerful, and every one of them was qualified to dominate a place, but there were exceptions.
For example, compared with other cultivators, this figure in memory, his qualifications were too mediocre, and he entered the path of cultivation too late. Other followers have entered the realm of transcending tribulation, but he is still struggling in the realm of Nascent Soul.
Other cultivators have already been promoted to Mahayana, but he has stumbled even to the point of being promoted to the fusion stage.
If the world of cultivation had been peaceful, it would not matter if he continued to follow her, but with the invasion of the demons, even many powerful people who had passed the tribulation and reached the Mahayana stage fell one after another. With his strength, continuing to follow her would be courting death.
So Gu Qingxi had advised him countless times to leave her early and find a place to practice well, but several other followers with similar qualifications and strength to him had already left, but he was not moved at all, and still stood behind her like a sticky candy - the back of many followers.
And every time there was a big battle with the demons, if you looked carefully, you could always find his inconspicuous figure in the crowd.
Although she had never taken his strength seriously in her previous life, she was still moved by his persistence.
This Yin-Yang Soul-Calming Flag was the protective artifact she gave him.
When I gave him this artifact, one was to give him a better chance of survival when facing the demons, and the other was to think that if he ever ascended to the realm of tribulation, he would not be able to withstand the heavenly tribulation thunder.
With this artifact, plus the trace of my spiritual consciousness left in it, maybe he could succeed in his advancement, and it would be worth his following.
Unfortunately, the so-called "one in a million" is usually said to be one in a million. Until her death in the previous life, he was still hovering between the middle and late stages of the fusion. There was no way, his aptitude was like that, and he could not even stabilize his cultivation in the middle stage of the fusion.
Gu Qingxi originally thought that in the final decisive battle, with his strength, he would definitely fall like those great masters and tribulation masters, but she did not expect that he, a mere fusion cultivator, would survive and even establish a powerful demon family with a foundation no less than the four great demon cultivation families.
That's right, the follower in the memory who was inconspicuous and even Gu Qingxi could not remember without thinking carefully was the ancestor of the Xiao family - Xiao Dingtian!
"Also, this divine sword was carefully refined by our ancestors who spent the rest of their lives, and it was also prepared for the Lord. Please accept it." Xiao Changfeng took out the Dingtian Sword again and said to Gu Qingxi.
It turned out that he was not wrong. This Dingtian Divine Sword was really tailor-made for her.
No wonder she passed the nine tests of the Dingtian Sword so easily. Not only was she unscathed, but the impurities in her spiritual roots were also removed and purified. Although there were still a few that had not been tempered, they were more than twice as strong as before.
No wonder the Dingtian Sword bowed to her after she passed the test.
Gu Qingxi thought of the weak figure at the end of the crowd again, and her eyes were wet unconsciously.
If she hadn't seen the Yin-Yang Soul-Suppressing Flag again, she wouldn't have remembered the former follower.
But Xiao Dingtian never forgot her. Even though he knew that she had fallen, he still believed that she would be reincarnated and reborn. He still prepared a divine sword for her to sharpen her spiritual roots, and told future generations to wait for her.
She finally knew why Xiao Dingtian gave up the chance to enter reincarnation again and stripped his soul to refine it into a sword spirit. Because he was worried that future generations would forget his instructions and betray his oath to follow him for generations.
Only by leaving that remnant soul and waiting for her in person could he feel at ease.
How could such persistence and loyalty not move people?
"Thank you for your hard work over the years. You can keep the Dingtian Sword for yourself. I have used it." Gu Qingxi took a deep breath and said to Xiao Changfeng.
"Yes, I will obey the Lord's order!" Xiao Changfeng said respectfully.
He actually didn't know what the ancestor meant by refining this sword, nor did he know what Gu Qingxi meant by having used it, but he didn't dare to disobey the Lord's order!
Just as he put away the sword, a sword sound full of joy rang out, and there was also deep satisfaction and attachment.
Gu Qingxi smiled, as if she saw Xiao Dingtian's simple smile and those pure and persistent eyes again.
The head of the Xiao family, several elders, and several elders of the Xiao family looked at Gu Qingxi, and their eyes had completely changed.
They had also heard that the ancestor had followed a supreme master in the cultivation world in his early years, and he refined the Dingtian Sword just to wait for that master.
Obviously, Gu Qingxi in front of him was the reincarnation of that master!
Xiao Yujin's face also changed completely: it turned out that Gu Qingxi was the master followed by the legendary ancestor. He actually fanned the flames and hoped that the ancestor would beat her to death. This was simply an old man hanging himself, and he thought his life was too long.
While everyone was looking at Gu Qingxi in surprise and awe, Xiao Yujin resisted the urge to vomit blood again, and quietly moved towards the palace door.
At this point, of course, he didn't dare to hope for the position of the head of the family anymore. He just wanted to escape from the Xiao family as soon as possible, the farther the better.
"My lord, the Xiao family failed to discipline their subordinates and gave birth to this rebellious son. He even dared to commit treason and be disrespectful to you. Please decide on his punishment." Unfortunately, Xiao Yujin hadn't taken a few steps when Xiao Changfeng's lightning-like gaze fell on him.
