Chapter 97: Long Aotian Thirty Years in Hedong, Thirty Years...
The mountains lay naked on the ground, the rocks were raging, and the cold wind blew, making a whimpering sound. There was no doubt that this should be a deserted place.
Long Aotian was climbing up the steep mountain wall. The bloodstains on his palms rubbing against the rugged rock wall added a bit of desolation.
But he looked determined. Rock particles slid down around his feet with a clattering sound. If he was not careful, he would be in danger of falling.
These difficulties not only failed to stop him, but made him more determined to fight against demons and defend the truth.
This Bone Mountain has been restricted by the great devil, and his magic cannot be used. Besides, he is afraid of alerting the enemy, so he can only choose this method to climb the mountain. Fortunately, he is about to reach the summit.
There are many rumors about the big devil in the world of cultivation. It is said that he has three heads and six arms, an iron face and fangs. It is also said that his voice is so shrill that anyone who hears it will die.
For this, Long Aotian had already made full preparations.
After finally climbing to the top of the mountain, he found it a bit strange to see the empty Gobi Desert with flying gravel on the mountain that should have been green, but he had no time to think about it.
Seeing a huge circle formed by flying sand from afar, Long Aotian guessed that that should be where the big devil was.
The palms gathered together, the spiritual energy condensed, and a sword slowly came out. The sharp sword energy even broke a hole in the sky.
His shoulders and elbows swept across, and wherever the silver-white sword energy passed, the air was cut off.
"Devil, give me your life!"
Long Aotian shouted loudly, turned his feet lightly, and all the energies returned to one. The formation of heaven and earth rose up out of thin air. With the magic sword in his hand, when the sword energy of heaven and earth returned to one, that would be the time for the devil to die.
The sword energy dissipated, and a hazy shadow appeared in the sand. Contrary to the expected majestic and powerful appearance, the demon's figure was very thin. If he had not been standing steadily in the flying sand, he would probably have doubted whether he had come to the wrong place.
When the sand stopped and the wind died down, his long black hair gently draped over his body, he was wearing white clothes, had red lips, and his pale face was reflected in front of him, like a banished immortal.
Long Aotian was unsettled and shouted angrily, "You devil, you actually used the beauty trap, quickly reveal your true form, my Heavenly Sword will not wait for you!"
The devil really has some tricks up his sleeve. No one can bring himself to kill him in this state. Long Aotian can only silently chant "Amitabha" in his heart, trying to get rid of all distracting thoughts and prevent the devil from disturbing his mind.
Beauty, bah, the devil slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were as calm as clear blue water, and his eyes were bright and black. He didn’t look like a demon cultivator, but more like an immortal.
Suspicion suddenly arose. Long Aotian closed the formation, clasped his hands together, and half-bowed. "Excuse me, is there a demon named Xuanming here?"
Such an immortal-like figure made him immediately believe that this was the devil he had been looking for, which was really unacceptable.
Doubt rose in the beauty's eyes, "Demon? Xuanming?"
How could he not know when he became a demon? It was so strange that this person destroyed his cave for no reason and even openly wronged him.
The beauty lowered her eyes, and I felt pity for her. Long Aotian was a little at a loss. This was the first time he lost his composure in front of a beauty since he started to fight demons and monsters.
"Excuse me, I've come to this Bone Mountain to look for the great demon Xuanming. Thirty years ago, he slaughtered the entire Qingyun Sect, causing great suffering. He also shamelessly occupied the land and became the king. He is the envy of both humans and gods, and everyone has the right to kill him."
"I heard about this at the foot of the mountain. As a cultivator, I naturally cannot tolerate such evil and deviant things, so I went up the mountain to kill them. I accidentally disturbed the immortals' cultivation. I beg for forgiveness."
He bowed his hands, as if the person who was pointing at the beauty and cursing her was not him.
"However, Bone Mountain is full of dangers, and it's not the best place for immortals to retreat."
Xuan Ming listened with great interest and almost forgot that he was the protagonist of the story. He even asked questions out of curiosity.
"Why am I a demon?" Wasn't he an evil cultivator? How did he change so quickly?
Long Aotian looked shy. "I was climbing up the mountain road and encountered an immortal practicing. I mistook him for the demon Xuanming. Does the immortal know where else on this mountain there are people practicing?"
Xuan Ming shook his head. This man was so rude. Not only did he not answer his question, but he also asked more.
"My name is Xuanming, why do you call me a demon?"
He was a man who wanted to get to the bottom of things, but he was upset when he didn't get an answer.
Long Aotian was horrified, his face turning pale with fear. "You, you are Xuanming, the one who slaughtered the entire Qingyun Sect?"
Xuan Ming nodded and then shook his head. "They died as agreed. I didn't kill them. You're saying that. It's so harsh."
The beauty frowned. She couldn't have been wrong. He subconsciously apologized, "I'm sorry!"
But soon, Long Aotian shook his head and turned his gaze away from the beauty. He became suspicious. Could there be some other hidden secret back then? It was indeed unlikely that such a weak person would have massacred the Qingyun Sect.
"Is there a hidden story behind what happened back then? Why did everyone in the Qingyun Sect die?"
It had been a while since the incident happened, and Xuanming couldn't quite remember why the Qingyun Sect's people had suddenly found him. It was as if, just like the person before him, they had suddenly broken into his cave and destroyed it, and then...
"The leader of the Qingyun Sect and his disciples flew to my cave and swore to the heavens that they would fight to the death against demons and defend the Way. I was forced to accept their invitation and go."
What kind of logic is this? Long Aotian was deeply shocked. "You, you are so cruel and ruthless that you even ignore the facts. There are more than ten thousand people in Qingyun Sect, and no one survived. How can such an argument be used as a reason for you to stain Cangshan Mountain with blood?"
Long Aotian had never seen such a shameless person. Although he looked like Pan An, he killed people like crazy and had no remorse.
"Today, I, Long Aotian, swear to the heavens that I will fight the devil Xuanming to the death. Either you die or I die."
"Yitian Sword, rise!"
Long Aotian's face was solemn, he clasped his hands together, and the magic sword soared into the sky. The five heavenly mystical thunders condensed on the sword body, and the sword energy gathered under his feet. He was indeed a righteous man favored by heaven and earth.
The scene back then was exactly like this moment. At that time, nearly a thousand people came from Qingyun Sect, and its sect leader even used a move called "Heaven and Earth Live Together", where all the swords became one. But the person in front of him could actually achieve the same momentum as back then just by relying on himself.
It seems that the world of cultivation is indeed full of talented people, and those with unique talents may be as numerous as crucian carp crossing the river.
Xuanming formed a sword with his two fingers and concentrated his energy on it. With a casual movement, the dark clouds dissipated and the sky became clear.
Gray sword energy lingered at Long Aotian's heart, and with just one strike, he pierced his heart and died.
After thinking about it, I decided to root out the problem completely. I felt my heart sinking, and said, "Go!"
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire burned the corpse to ashes, and when the wind came, the corpse was scattered by the wind.
I was woken up again. It turned out that thirty years had passed since I was in seclusion. The world has changed so much that I don’t know if there are any new things in it.
Now that I'm awake, I might as well take another walk, Xuanming thought to himself. After at least thirty years, the world's delicacies must have improved.
004 arrived quietly, and it wanted to bind the recently deceased Long Aotian.
Long Aotian, alas, things may change over time. He has a firm mind and will definitely stick to his heart. He is also smart, so the task is within his grasp.
Xuan Ming turned around and tried to leave, but sure enough, there was a fluctuation in the spiritual energy behind him. "I caught him."
004's hairs were trembling with fear. It was discovered. It was so scary. But it didn't matter. As long as it could hold on to Long Aotian, it would definitely be able to escape. It didn't want to be caught by this big devil.
Damn it, where is Long Aotian’s soul? ! !
"Is this what you're looking for?"
Xuan Ming saw that the artifact was spinning in circles, so he swung the soul of the man in front of it.
[Yes, yes, give it to me quickly.]
004 was so anxious that he was sweating and felt like his body was about to break out. What was going on?
"But why should I give it to you? Although this person's strength is not strong, his vitality is very strong. Using him for training will definitely be beneficial."
[Ahhh, devil, what are you doing? Stop it!]
Its host, its poor host!
Xuan Mingkong stretched out his left hand, and a faint blue flame burned, and the soul disappeared with just a slight touch.
"I'm practicing."
There was some confusion in Xuanming's eyes. He had clearly refined it in front of this divine weapon, so why was he still asking?
[Woo woo woo, big devil]
Its host, its poor host, its Long Aotian host.
Can a divine artifact cry? It’s really a strange divine artifact, and the artifact spirit is also stupid.
[Woo woo woo]
004 didn't want to live anymore. It had finally found a host, but was so unlucky that it was completely destroyed by this big devil.
[Big devil, you are so cruel. Why don’t you even let go of the soul? Wuwuwu]
Xuan Ming frowned. The artifact's accusation was simply bizarre. "I am an evil cultivator. Otherwise, how can I practice?"
Besides, he is obviously a good person, but he is always wronged. He has to endure it even when others destroy his cave. He never even takes the initiative to attack, he just fights back.
The big devil is worthy of being a big devil. He remains calm and collected, and his self-righteousness is a bit scary.
004 finally regrouped and planned to find a new host.
It realized it belatedly and planned to leave, but...
[Big devil, what have you done to me! ]
Why can't it leave? It can't even contact the main brain. It's so scary.
Xuan Ming flicked the little thing and said, "I'm just a little curious, have you recognized your master yet?"
If it belonged to someone, he would have to destroy it like the magic sword. After all, he was an evil cultivator and was not favored by the heavens, so he had to be careful in everything he did.
What do you want to do?
004 instantly became alert, almost forgetting that this was a big devil, a big devil with a very high risk factor. How dare it scold him? When did he become so brave? It was too scary.
Xuan Ming's patience was running out. No matter whether it was a human or anything else, it seemed that no one could understand what he was saying.
Warnings were ringing around 004, as its business school, from which it had graduated with full marks, had finally returned.
[Haha, look at what's going on. Isn't this my dear Master Xuanming? I've admired you for so long. It's true that hearing about you is not as good as meeting you in person. You're still as dazzling as ever.]
Could divine artifacts also flatter? Interesting, but it still didn't answer his question. He couldn't just kill innocent people, so he had to be locked up.
004 naturally sensed the danger keenly, and his EQ and IQ were both online.
[Master Host, I have just been bound to you. I am your son, so I beg for your mercy.]
He checked inside Xuanming and found that there were indeed some extra fetters on his body.
It is indeed a divine weapon, and the means are so sophisticated that it can sign a contract without him knowing. Unfortunately, his strength is not enough, and a contract of this level is really not safe enough.
Xuan Ming thought for a moment and added a contract that was more in line with his status as a divine weapon—a master-servant contract.
After receiving the warning from the main brain, 004 could only honestly and fearfully explain its purpose to the host. With its eloquence, it finally persuaded the devil to complete the mission.
