Chapter 159
Baili Han nodded slightly to Lin Zhenjun, "Zhenjun is too kind. How could this junior dare to compare himself to the Immortal Venerable?"
Lin Zhenjun waved his hand, "We sword cultivators, it is either yes or no. Even if our master were here, he wouldn't have any objections."
Baili Han lowered his eyes modestly.
Wen Xin was overjoyed, her little face beaming with "I've dug up a treasure!" which made Baili Han chuckle.
She suddenly grabbed Baili Han's hand, "Little apprentice, come with me."
Wen Xin rode her sword with... well, I should say, Baili Han rode her sword with him.
With her frail body, how could Baili Han dare to let her use her spiritual power at will?
Wen Xin stepped on his sword, grabbed his sleeve with one hand, and pointed to the Cloud Sea Peak ahead with the other, "Little apprentice, let's go in."
Baili Han: "...Little Master's wife, that's the Immortal Venerable's Daoist temple!"
Wen Xin: "Yes!"
Baili Han: "..."
Is it really alright to trespass into the dojo of a Tribulation Transcending Immortal Venerable?
However, Wen Xin herself was the pass to Yunhai Peak. The terrifying spiritual pressure and the crisscrossing, fierce sword energy that would crush outsiders if they approached turned into soft, fluffy clouds after her arrival. They gently and lovingly patted her head and let her in.
Baili Han: "..."
However, he lowered his eyes, knowing that his dojo would never be able to guard against her again.
She deserves the gentlest treatment in the world!
Wen Xin led Baili Han to the Sword Tomb at Yunhai Peak.
"My great-grandfather collected countless famous and ancient swords and placed them here. Over the years, the sword spirits formed their own entity and transformed this place into a sword tomb."
Baili Han followed her gaze to the Sword Tomb. Even though the door was closed, he could feel the sharp sword intent and the murderous aura emanating from within.
Sword cultivators who are not strong enough would probably be crushed to the ground by the sword intent of the sword spirit inside just by standing here.
Baili Han found it somewhat amusing; she really had confidence in him, actually bringing him, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, to the Sword Tomb.
Not only that, Wen Xin also said to him, "My great-grandfather told me that there is an ancient immortal sword in the Sword Tomb. He couldn't subdue it back then, so he had to bring it here. Little apprentice, good luck and get the immortal sword!"
Baili Han: "..." The pressure is immense!
However, Baili Han said helplessly, "Little Master's wife, didn't I tell you not to always tell others that you possess treasures?"
What kind of treasure is the ancient immortal sword?
She dared to say it.
If this gets out, the entire Hunyuan Continent will go crazy!
Moreover, that was the immortal sword that the Supreme Elder had painstakingly sought out to guard the Sword Tomb. How could she bring him here to take it? Wasn't she just setting her own great-grandfather up in trouble?
The girl said softly, "I told you you're not just anyone!"
Baili Han... Baili Han pinched his palms to restrain himself from pulling the overly sweet girl in front of him into his arms.
It's not the right time yet!
Wen Xin was unaware of the boy's covetous thoughts towards her. "Besides, my great-grandfather said that the immortal sword has a spirit. If we cannot form a contract with it, it proves that we are not destined to be together. We cannot force it. If a sword cultivator can bring it out of the mountain, it will be a blessing for both of us."
Therefore, the Supreme Elder never intended to seize the Immortal Sword. He invited it to the Sword Tomb to prevent it from causing bloodshed in the cultivation world and allowing those with evil intentions to use it for evil.
However, it's not just evil cultivators who have wicked intentions; how much better can those so-called righteous sects of the Qingxiao Sect be?
Wen Xin brought Baili Han to retrieve the Immortal Sword for one reason: this Immortal Sword would become Duan Tianyi's natal magic weapon, allowing him to become increasingly powerful and unrestrained in the Hunyuan Continent.
The sword spirit of the Legend of Sword and Fairy was originally extremely proud, but it was probably blinded and its brain was spun by the male protagonist's halo, otherwise why would it choose that stupid dog Duan Tianyi?
Wen Xin's current goal is to exploit all of the male lead's advantages and opportunities one by one.
Moreover, she did it with complete confidence!
Ha, isn't it because that idiot's golden touch and opportunities mostly came from the Supreme Elder?
Why should the male lead get away with her great-grandfather's treasure?
Let him dream on!
Others might not be able to steal the male lead's opportunities and cheat codes, but Baili Han...
A reincarnation of a demon god, the future supreme ruler of the demon race. If he hadn't voluntarily been sealed away in his previous life, even the Supreme Elder wouldn't have been his match.
When Baili Han roamed the Hunyuan Continent, Duan Tianyi didn't even have the qualifications to be his opponent, and didn't even dare to walk up to him.
For the future Demon King, stealing the male lead's opportunity is a piece of cake.
Wen Xin clasped her hands together, her almond-shaped eyes sparkling like stars, looking at him with complete trust.
Keep it up, kid!
Let's get rid of that idiot male lead, Duan Tianyi!
Little did Baili Han know how dark his seemingly innocent and adorable little master's wife was. He was so overwhelmed by her completely trusting gaze that his blood was boiling.
He vaguely felt that at this moment, let alone retrieving the immortal sword, even if she asked him to go through fire and water to take his life, he probably wouldn't even flinch and would be willing to do anything for her.
Baili Han's Adam's apple bobbed as he promised, "Little Master's Wife, I will get the Immortal Sword for you."
Wen Xin smiled and said, "I don't need it. I just think that if you had a magic sword, it would definitely be of great help to your cultivation."
The coldness in Baili Han's eyes melted away. "Mm."
Wen Xin handed him a jade tablet, saying, "You can use it to open the Sword Tomb."
"good."
Baili Han paused for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Little Master's Wife, may I hug you?"
Wen Xin was stunned. "What?"
"I lack confidence in myself."
The boy lowered his eyes, which were as pure as ice and snow, without a trace of impurity, as if he made this request simply to draw courage from her, without any intention of being disrespectful or frivolous.
Wen Xin's heart softened, and she took a step forward and hugged him.
Feeling the tension in his body, Wen Xin gently patted his back. "Don't be afraid. Your safety is the most important thing. It would be best if you could get the Immortal Sword, but it's okay if you can't. Your great-grandfather has many other good spirit swords!"
Baili Han's heart pounded. He slowly raised his hand, embraced the soft, warm girl in his arms, and responded with a hoarse "Mmm".
The Supreme Elder, whose divine sense enveloped the entire Cloud Sea Peak, exclaimed: "!!!???"
What are the great-granddaughter and the young disciple doing?
Are young people these days so...unreserved?
They're always hugging and cuddling?
But seeing how innocent the two looked, the Supreme Elder fell silent.
Perhaps he really can't keep up with the times of today's young people!
However, the Supreme Elder was also somewhat helpless. No matter how much his great-granddaughter favored that young disciple, she couldn't bring him to the Sword Tomb to retrieve the immortal sword when he was still in the Foundation Establishment stage.
It wasn't that the Supreme Elder looked down on people, but rather that even Duan Tianyi, a Nascent Soul cultivator, wouldn't dare to enter his Sword Tomb casually, let alone the innermost and most dangerous Immortal Sword Tomb.
