Zhang Luan saw that things were not going as he expected, and heard that they seemed to have already seen through his plan. He could not help but retreat in fear and screamed, "Wu Di, what are you doing!"
The eldest grandson, Zijun, said calmly, "Fuck you."
“No! No!” Zhang Luan desperately urged his magic energy, “Kill him! I command you, go kill him quickly!”
After finally reaching the main cave, Zhang Luan thought that he had already controlled Wudi and Jinwu, and that the demon pill of the Snow Tiger Spirit was certain to be obtained. The first thing he had to do was to kill Bisheng, who was out of his control, and then manipulate Jinwu and Wudi to enter the main cave to fight the Lord of Cangming Cave. Although he did not need the Cangyun Sword, if he could get a demon pill that had been cultivated for 500 years, it would greatly improve his cultivation. He had been hiding outside Cangming Cave for so long just to find a master to help him. He was about to succeed today, but he did not expect to fail at the last moment!
The eldest grandson Jun took out his Dan Ning Stone and threw it on the ground. The Dan Ning Stone, which was black before, turned gray. Its evil spirit had been sealed by the eldest grandson Jun.
Zhang Luan's face turned pale: "You...you actually!"
The black energy on Jin Wu's head had dissipated, and his eyes were filled with confusion.
Yi Xichen squatted down beside him and said with a smile: "Daoyou, please be a witness. Today we are killing the demon and getting rid of harm for the people."
Jin Wu gradually remembered what had happened and finally understood what had happened. He was suddenly filled with shame and struggled to stand up.
Zhang Luan kept retreating, and finally retreated to the stone wall, with no way to retreat. He knew that he could not escape today, so he had to give it a try!
Zhang Luan's eyes suddenly turned completely black, and he laughed fiercely: "Hahaha, today you are courting death, don't blame me for being ruthless!" He waved his sleeves, and countless devil snakes emerged from his sleeves and rushed straight towards the three people!
The devil beetle is Zhang Luan's clone, which can absorb the cultivation of cultivators and turn it into Zhang Luan's use. Many people have died from this technique. After being eaten, their souls flew away, leaving only a pile of black bones!
But the eldest grandson, Zijun, was not in a hurry. He wiped the wooden sword on his fingertips. The wooden sword was stained with his blood and suddenly a golden light shone brightly. He chopped at the devil beetles with his sword, and the devil beetles immediately retreated as if they saw a natural enemy!
Zhang Luan became more and more anxious, and the black energy around him became thicker, forcing the demon snake to move forward. However, the demon snake was already in a state of panic.
Yi Xichen clicked his tongue and said, "It's going to explode."
The eldest grandson Zijun sneered, and his sword energy increased dramatically. All of a sudden, the ground was filled with devil beetles running around in chaos. Finally, they turned around and swarmed towards Zhang Luan, starting to eat his flesh and blood!
Zhang Luan screamed and slapped his body desperately. However, his demonic energy was out of control and it actually devoured himself! In a moment, Zhang Luan fell to the ground and was gnawed into a pile of black bones by the demonic insects!
The main body was dead, and the demon insect gradually became transparent and dissipated in the air.
Jin Wu watched all this in amazement. A demon cultivator who had done many evil things died under his own forbidden technique. It was his own fault, so Jin Wu naturally had no sympathy for him. However, seeing the two young men who he had once despised, with such a carefree look on their faces as if they had just crushed a pest, how could he not be shocked!
"Friend Jin, are you okay?" Yi Xichen stepped forward to show concern for him.
Jin Wu shook his head slowly, clasped his fists and thanked the two of them with a complicated expression; "Thank you very much for saving my life."
Just now he was invaded by evil spirit, even if these two people killed him on the grounds that he was possessed by evil spirits, it would be understandable. However, these two people did not do so, but saved his life. Jin Wu was deeply moved.
Yi Xichen said: "Is it still convenient for you to move? The joint front and rear formations in the demon cave have been broken."
Jin Wu was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that Yi Xichen was persuading him to leave. However, he was convinced. His cultivation and virtue were inferior to those two. If he continued to linger, not only would he gain nothing, but he would also be shameless. So he said, "I'm not in any big trouble. I'll leave now. I wish you two Taoist friends can get the sword."
Yi Xichen said calmly: "Thank you."
Jin Wu turned around and walked away, but after a few steps he turned back hesitantly.
Yi Xichen was about to bend down, but when he saw him turn around, he quickly stood up straight again, pretending to be serious: "Fellow Daoist Jin, is there anything else?"
Jin Wudao: "Invincible and Sure Win are the pseudonyms of the two Taoist friends, right?"
With the cultivation level of his eldest grandson, Zijun, it is impossible for him to be unknown in the cultivation world. He must have had to hide his real name for some unavoidable reason. Jin Wu was rescued by them today, and he did not suspect that they were evildoers, so they just kept a low profile. He said, "Can't you really tell me your real name?"
Yi Xichen and his eldest grandson Zijun did not reply, which was a tactful refusal.
Jin Wu sighed, and said with a folded hand: "I am not tactful. No matter what, I have received your kindness, and I will remember it in my heart. If you two Taoist friends can be of any use to me in the future, I, the Daluomen Jin Wu, will never refuse!"
Yi Xichen said: "Thank you in advance."
Jin Wu stopped pestering her and turned around and left quickly.
After finally sending the man away, Yi Xichen immediately couldn't wait to untie the Taoist robe covering Zhang Luan's black skeleton, took out his Qiankun bag, and began to count the things inside.
"Oh my god!" Yi Xichen became more and more excited as he counted, his eyes almost turning into spirit stones, "I'm really going to get rich now!!"
Since Zhang Luan was able to conceal his demonic energy, his cultivation was not low, and he was also vicious, so he had collected a lot of good things. Demonic cultivators have no fixed place to stay and may be hunted down at any time. He dared not hide his things somewhere else, so he could only carry them with him. Yi Xichen took a rough look and found that there were at least a hundred high-level spirit stones, with all five elements. He had never seen so many spirit stones in his life. Not only were they enough to buy everything they needed to go to the Void Realm, but he would not feel bad even if Fei Ji ate a few more spirit stones.
Yi Xichen's face suddenly turned black. How could he have thought of letting that stupid bird eat his spirit stone? No, if that stupid bird dared to eat another one, he would pluck out all its feathers!
Yi Xichen was counting money so fast that he almost forgot where they were. Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the stone door in front of them opened automatically.
"Where did you come from, you little brat, to disturb my peace?" A lazy and attractive voice came from the main cave.
Yi Xichen hurriedly collected the spirit stones that had not yet been counted.
The real enemy was in front of them. The two men walked into the main cave with swords in hand, but they saw that the scenery inside the main cave was completely different from those simple caves outside. As soon as they entered, they were almost blinded by the golden splendor inside the room - the stone walls around the main cave were decorated with colorful and shining gems, colored glaze, tail feathers, scales, etc., and the dome was hung with green bean palace silk, red satin, goose yellow silk crepe, etc., hanging down to the ground. In the middle of the cave, there was a huge couch, and the couch was covered with golden tiger pattern satin. On it lay a man wearing a plain white snow-white robe and long hair hanging down to his waist. I think that was the owner of Cangming Cave, Hu Cang. Originally, he was dressed in white, simple and clean. However, in this luxurious cave, he became the most eye-catching person in his snow-white clothes.
Yi Xichen stared at the white figure desperately, fearing that if he squinted his eyes, he would be blinded by the colorful lights. He cleared his throat and was about to speak, but he saw his eldest grandson Zijun step forward and shouted coldly: "Kneel down!"
Don’t kneel down yet!
Don't kneel down!
Kneel down!
Down!
His powerful voice echoed in the cave, and for a moment, the entire cave fell into deathly silence.
After a moment, under the stunned gaze of the two, the eldest grandson Zijun took a step back and stood back beside Yi Xichen, pretending that nothing had happened. ——Without a doubt, it was the fault of the demon again.
Yi Xichen's expression changed as colorfully as the gems in the room: "What... are you doing?"
The eldest grandson Jun Jun remained calm and said, "Oh, I'll scare him."
The frightened Hu Cang: "..."
Hu Cang saw two handsome boys coming in and wanted to tease them, but he was teased before he could even say anything. He immediately flew into a rage and jumped off the couch, sneering, "Two ignorant brats!...Hmm? Wooden swords?"
He stared at the wooden sword in the hand of his eldest grandson Jun. All of a sudden, his arrogant and domineering attitude disappeared, and he looked a little dazed: "...Did Youyun ask you to come?"
"That's an interesting question, cave master." Yi Xichen said, "We came here for Master Youyun's sword. Does that mean Master Youyun asked us to come?"
Hu Cang frowned, seeming a little disappointed. After a moment, he spoke again: "It seems that all the ignorant guys in the world dare to use a stick as a sword!" He added, "You two can break into my main cave, which shows that you have some skills. It's a waste to stay here. It's better to be more interesting and leave early. I am a generous man and will not bother with you."
"We are quite generous." Yi Xichen said with a smile, "Why don't you be more tolerant and hand over the demon pill honestly, so that you can save your life." After taking the demon pill, Hu Cang will lose all his cultivation and turn back into an ordinary snow tiger. But if someone else tries to take the demon pill, and the attack is a little heavy, then he will naturally lose his life.
"Ha!" Hu Cang laughed, "You are still a child, but you are so arrogant!"
He pulled up his half-open collar, which suddenly turned into a beam of white light and rushed towards Yi Xichen!
Yi Xichen did not move, but his eldest grandson Jun did. He stood in front of Yi Xichen and slashed with his sword. The white light flashed away and turned into a tiger-like human form again.
Hu Cang touched the clump of hair that had been cut off and frowned, his expression becoming more serious than before: "It's more interesting than I thought."
When he saw two sword masters coming here, he thought that they must be at odds with each other. After all, everyone wanted the Cangyun Sword, and he had just killed one and chased away the other at the door. However, it was surprising that they protected each other so much.
Hu Cang attacked them again. The eldest grandson Zijun stood in front of Yi Xichen and fought with the white light for several moves!
When Hu Cang transformed into a human form again, a thin layer of sweat had already appeared on his face. He was quite shocked. With his five hundred years of cultivation, he was not able to gain the upper hand in a battle with this young man. Moreover, the young man was very comfortable and obviously had not yet shown his full strength. He exclaimed: "Heroes are born young indeed."
The eldest grandson, Jun, was too lazy to waste time talking to him and took the initiative to attack!
Several lights and shadows were seen flashing in the not-so-spacious cave, and all the precious stones in the room were shaken to the ground.
The two of them were fighting, and Yi Xichen couldn't help, so he activated his body-protecting sword energy. Whenever gems fell from somewhere, he would rush over to pick them up and put them in his pocket.
The shaking became more and more intense. Yi Xichen stood close to the wall and could feel the stone wall and the ground shaking. There were still things falling down, but now it was not just gems, but also stone chips.
Yi Xichen's face slightly changed: "Why don't we go out and fight? This cave is about to collapse."
The stone dome slowly opened, revealing the endless blue sky. Bai Guang jumped out first, followed closely by the eldest grandson Jun!
Yi Xichen did not rush to follow him out. He picked up all the gems in the cave first, and then slowly flew his sword into the sky.
After leaving the narrow cave, two figures moved forward and backward, causing thunder and lightning to continue in the clear sky! The eldest grandson Jun poured all his sword energy into the wooden sword, and chopped it down with one sword. There was a loud bang, and a mountain collapsed!
The tiger was at a disadvantage and turned into its original form, a huge snow tiger roaring towards the sky, and another mountain fell down!
Yi Xichen was stunned and amazed by this house-destroying style of fighting. However, when he saw the original snow tiger, he actually thought: Such a big snow tiger is big enough for two people to ride.
Hu Cang was gradually losing his battle and became furious. He finally used his ultimate move. He summoned several black shadows and they attacked his eldest grandson, Jun!
Yi Xichen was shocked: "Ghost control technique!"
When people say "serve as the tiger's lackeys", they mean that the tiger demon can drive ghosts. Any monk or demon that dies in his dark cave will be driven by it after turning into a ghost!
Several fierce ghosts attacked and opened their mouths to bite the eldest grandson Jun! If they bit him, his flesh would not be injured, but his soul would be damaged! However, the eldest grandson Jun opened his sword energy to protect his body, and as soon as the fierce ghosts approached him, they only left a few miserable screams and turned into black smoke.
Hu Cang was shocked! He would not use this technique lightly, because once it was used, it would kill someone. If he had not been forced, he would not have been so cruel. However, his killing move was easily resolved by his eldest grandson Jun. The young man's cultivation was simply unfathomable!
After the eldest grandson Jun killed the fierce ghost, he slashed at Hu Cang with his sword. Hu Cang had to release all his demonic power to block the sword!
There were flashes of lightning and sparks, the mountain was shaking continuously, and rocks were falling!
After the smoke cleared, the wooden sword in the eldest grandson Jun's hand had broken, leaving only a broken sword. However, the blade of his broken sword was already on the neck of the snow tiger.
Hu Cang transformed into human form again, but this time he was no longer the handsome man in white clothes, but had a dusty face and looked emaciated.
Even though he was in such a predicament, Hu Cang still held his head high, trying his best to maintain the dignity of a demon king. He said in a condescending manner: "You and I have no grudges in the past or present, and you took my demon pill just for a good sword. Why don't you do me a favor and bring that bastard Youyun here, and I will definitely get you a better sword than Cangyun!"
Yi Xichen raised his eyebrows. He noticed that Hu Cang was talking about bringing True Man Youyun here, not True Man Youyun's head or Youyun's golden elixir, which meant that he wanted a living person, which was completely different from True Man Youyun's unreasonable and overbearing behavior.
"A better sword than Cangyun?"
"Yes. Do you know why the Cangyun Sword is named Cangyun? Hu Cang, Youyun, this sword was forged with the fine iron that I and Youyun took out from the sea of fire!"
The two of them had no doubts about this. This Hu Cang and Master Youyun were really as the rumors said, they were once close friends, but they never expected that things would end up like this today.
Yi Xichen stepped forward and said, "You have been wanted for three years, but you have never left Cangming Cave. Are you waiting for Master Youyun to come find you? Do you want to see him?"
Hu Cang's expression changed slightly, and he turned his eyes away: "Yes."
"Why don't you just go and see him?"
"If he was willing to see me, why would I be here talking nonsense with two young boys like you?!"
Seeing that Hu Cang was still talking nonsense, the eldest grandson Jun moved his sword forward a few inches. The cold sword energy immediately cut a bloody wound on Hu Cang's neck, and the blood dyed his white clothes red.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Hu Cang said hurriedly, "You are too impatient, wait for me to explain in detail! Everyone says that Youyun is a casual cultivator, but they don't know that I am Youyun's master!"
"Master?" Yi Xichen and his eldest grandson Zijun looked at each other.
If the master of Master Youyun was a demon, then the cultivators would naturally not admit it and would say that he was a casual cultivator. However, in the world of cultivation, since the cultivators have a long life span and are indifferent to family ties, they pay special attention to the relationship between master and disciple. No cultivator should be unfavorable to his master. If he worships ten masters in his lifetime, then he should respect ten masters. Moreover, even if the righteous cultivators hate the demon cultivators to the core, if their master falls into the demon path, they cannot kill the master with their own hands. For the sake of justice, the most they can do is to report the master and let others kill him.
This is probably why Master Youyun wanted Hu Cang's inner elixir but was unwilling to do it himself.
Yi Xichen said: "You killed Taoist Master Youyun's Taoist partner. This can't be a misunderstanding, right?" Although they were determined to get the Cangyun Sword, Hu Cang did not look like an evil monster, so they still wanted to find out the whole story to avoid committing murder.
When this matter was mentioned, Hu Cang's face darkened slightly, and he obviously didn't want to talk more. But his eldest grandson, Zijun, had his sword on his neck. When he trembled his hand, the sharp aura of the weapon made him feel painful. He finally spoke: "I have never told anyone about this matter in the past three years. Today, seeing that you two are so close, I can't help but think of the past. Anyway, I will tell you about the sinful debt with Youyun, and you... should learn from it and don't follow in our footsteps."
Hu Cang began to recall the past.
When he was young, Master Youyun was a disciple of a young monk. The monk took Youyun back because he needed a little boy to serve him. He did not teach Youyun how to cultivate, but only let him do some chores every day, and did not even give him a sword. However, Youyun was gifted, studied hard, and practiced hard. He cultivated some skills, cut a piece of wood to make a sword, and then went into the mountains to practice, hoping to learn how to kill demons and monsters.
During his first training session, he encountered Hu Cang.
At that time, Youyun was still a naive young boy. As the saying goes, a newborn ox is not afraid of a tiger. He saw that Hu Cang was a demon beast, and regardless of the huge difference in their cultivation, he rashly attacked Hu Cang. Of course, he was beaten up by Hu Cang and ran away in disgrace.
A few days later, when Hu Cang was basking in the sun in the woods, You Yun came again. As a result, he was beaten up again and went back with bruises all over his head.
Youyun had always been stubborn since he was young, and he had set his sights on Hu Cang. He would come to challenge Hu Cang every few days, and after being beaten badly, he would go back to continue his hard work.
At that time, Hu Zi was already a overlord. Not to mention the demon beasts, even those pretentious monks dared to come and ask him for trouble. He thought life was boring. When he met Youyun, he had to play with a child. He slapped him twice, but he was playing tricks on him. But over time, life was really too boring. The boy came to him for trouble in the morning and evening, and he actually cared about the boy.
Youyun's talent is very good, and his swordsmanship has improved every time he comes back, but he is not as methodical as the disciples of the big cultivation sects, but a wild way of cultivation. The wooden sword in his hand is even more horrible.
So when Youyun came to trouble him again, he pressed Youyun to the ground with one palm and asked him, "I never provoked you, why do you always come to trouble me, kid?"
Little Youyun is innocent, with novelty and interest clearly written in his eyes, but his words are full of morality: My master said that demons are all bad guys, and you are a bad guy, and I will enforce justice on behalf of heaven!
Hu Cang laughed loudly after hearing this, saying, "I am not a bad guy, but your master is an absolute fool. Don't learn to be stupid from him. It is better for you to worship me as your master than to worship such a person. From now on, I will teach you how to cultivate."
Youyun was naturally unwilling at first, and as usual, he would come to challenge Hu Cang every once in a while. If he lost, he would go back and continue his cultivation.
Until one day, when Youyun was supposed to come to challenge, Hu Cang waited and waited but Youyun never showed up. Worried, he went to the forest to check, and saw Youyun being beaten to death by a wolf demon. The wolf demon wanted to eat Youyun to replenish its own cultivation. Hu Cang beat the wolf demon so badly that it vomited blood, and took Youyun back to his demon cave.
Youyun asked him, why did you save me? Hu Cang said, I will tell you if you become my disciple.
Youyun asked him, is it true that there are good monsters? Hu Cang said, I will tell you if you become my disciple.
Youyun asked him, if there are good monsters, then are there good demons? Hu Cang said, if you worship me as your master, I will tell you.
Youyun said: Master, Master, what is the right path and what is benevolence and justice? Hu Cang patted his head and said: Silly boy, don't listen to the nonsense of those fools outside. There is no such thing as right path and benevolence and justice in this world. Remember, as long as you are happy in everything, that is the right path and that is benevolence and justice!
Hu Cang taught Youyun how to practice, and took him to the sea of fire to get fine iron to make swords. Youyun never concealed the fact that his master was a demon cultivator, and he didn't care at all even if he was despised by cultivators who claimed to be righteous, even if they pointed fingers at him.
However, the child had grown up, and there was always a day when he would become a master. Youyun, who had a three-yang body, made rapid progress in his cultivation. It took him only a hundred years to successfully form a golden elixir, becoming a golden elixir cultivator. After forming a golden elixir, he no longer stayed with Hu Cang all the time. He began to travel around. Every early spring, he would return to Cangming Cave to drink and chat with Hu Cang for a few days, and then go out to travel again.
A few years later, when Youyun returned to Cangming Cave, he was no longer alone. He brought back a celestial fox spirit. That was his new Taoist partner.
When the eldest grandson, Zijun, heard this, he couldn't help but interject, "Are you jealous?"
Hu Cang glared at him fiercely: "Boy, listen to me!"
The eldest grandson, Zijun, poked the sword in his hand expressionlessly, motioning him to continue.
Hu Cang went on to say that after Youyun and his partner became a couple, he would still come back to see him once a year, but he was no longer the only one who came. This was neither salty nor bland, and they lived peacefully for fifty years. However, fifty years later, the celestial fox had to go through a heavenly tribulation. The celestial fox was a natural spirit beast, and its cultivation improved very quickly. It encountered a heavenly tribulation within a hundred years of its lifespan. But even for a natural spirit beast, the heavenly tribulation is a fatal hurdle. Although the celestial fox survived the heavenly tribulation, it failed to successfully ascend to heaven. Instead, its cultivation was completely damaged and it almost went astray. Youyun was a man who valued love and was unwilling to give up the celestial fox. He provided the celestial fox with his own spiritual power every day. Although he temporarily saved the celestial fox's life, he himself became increasingly weaker and his cultivation was gradually drained.
Hu Cang said: "If we allow that kid to continue like this, not only will we fail to save his Taoist partner, he will also go astray and perish together with that celestial fox!"
"Oh." Yi Xichen finally understood, "So you killed the celestial fox."
"Yes. While Youyun was out collecting herbs, I sneaked into his Taoist temple and dug out the inner elixir of the celestial fox. I didn't want to kill him, but to take his inner elixir, he would be reduced to his original form and cultivate again. But I didn't expect that the celestial fox was already weak and frail, and it was only relying on the cultivation that Youyun infused into his inner elixir to survive. If the inner elixir left his body, he would not be able to survive..." Hu Cang said lightly, "There is no need to say other excuses. In the end, the celestial fox did die at my hands."
Hu Cang finally spilled out the past that he had suppressed for three years. After that, he turned his gaze to Yi Xichen and his eldest grandson Zijun. However, to his surprise, he tried his best to remain calm, but the two young men really looked calm and unmoved.
"I'm so moved! The cave master has deep feelings for Master Youyun, and everything he did was for him, but he didn't understand your feelings, and he repaid you with evil, and even put a sword on the line as a reward for your demon pill!" Yi Xichen said with a smile, "He is too heartless, isn't he?"
Hu Cang frowned inexplicably. Even if he was not a very understanding person, he could tell that Yi Xichen's tone was full of sarcasm and that what he said was not sincere.
As expected, Yi Xichen smiled and said, "Master, do you think we would say that? But I am afraid that you have moved yourself but failed to move others."
Hu Cang was stunned.
The eldest grandson Zijun said coldly: "Since Youyun's Taoist partner was indeed killed by you, that's enough!" As he said that, he stretched out his hand to his heart, and a golden light flashed on his palm, wanting to take his magic pill!
