Embers of Sword

Chapter 79 Dao Jiu's Request

Kill these people and [Daolu] will be yours!
Xie Xuanyi narrowed his eyes and looked at Dao Jiu who was sitting in the air in front of him.

This spirit looks kind, approachable and good-natured.

But inside...it's the exact opposite.

After Dao Jiu finished transmitting the message, he smiled and said, "There is only one condition. Isn't it very simple?"

The disciples of Baihua Valley were a little confused.

They don't know what the conditions are.

However, Lu Yuan already vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Yuan Yi, who was kindhearted by nature, blinked her big eyes and asked curiously, "Master Xie, what are the conditions it mentioned?"

"……nothing."

Xie Xuanyi shook his head and said, "Let's go. I'm not interested in this [Daoist furnace]."

This [Taoist furnace] is indeed very tempting to others.

But to Xie Xuanyi, it was nothing special.

He had seen treasures of higher quality than this [Dao Furnace] on Lotus Peak... He had only one purpose in coming to the Bai Ze Secret Realm this time.

Take back [Chronic Illness].

"do not."

After hearing these words, Yuan Yi became a little anxious.

She tugged at Xie Xuanyi's sleeve and said seriously, "I've heard from Master that treasures that can cultivate spiritual wisdom are rare in the world, and those that can transform into human form are even rarer! If you can take this real treasure away, even if you return to the imperial city empty-handed, it will be enough to make a great contribution!"

Xie Xuanyi had a complicated expression. This little girl really thought of herself as a special envoy of the Tan Yiwei.

However, such a "stupid" guy is rare in the world.

It was just a casual rescue of a life, but Yuan Yi actually really thought about me in every way.

"Yuan Yi."

Lu Yuan whispered, "You are a disciple of Baihua Valley, don't interfere with Master Xie's choice."

"Yes... Senior Sister."

After being scolded like this, Yuan Yi calmed down.

She realized her mistake.

In any case, she and Xie Zhen belonged to two different forces after all. They only became temporary allies because of the Chu family's sneak attack... Baihua Valley and Tan Yiwei had different philosophies. After leaving the secret realm, she and Xie Zhen were destined to have no intersection.

Even if Xie Zhen was a casual cultivator without any sect or school, what qualifications did she have to interfere with Xie Zhen's decision?

"Thank you, Master—"

Dao Jiu, who had been listening, now addressed Xie Xuanyi, imitating the way the disciples of Baihua Valley addressed him.

He reminded her gently, "Are you going to leave like this?"

"Can't I just leave like this?"

Xie Xuanyi looked at the weapon spirit and said calmly, "Although this [Dao Furnace] is a good thing, Great Sage Bai Ze should not have left a rule that everyone who sees it must take it."

Daojiu smiled in silence.

"Of course there is no such rule."

He lowered his eyes slightly and chuckled, "But since you don't want this opportunity, I'll ask others."

next moment.

The Dao furnace shook, and the same sound of the soul was transmitted to the hearts of every disciple in Baihua Valley!

Everyone's face changed drastically!

"What? In order to obtain the Dao Furnace, we must kill everyone else?"

"Only one person can get this opportunity!"

The faces of these Hundred Flowers Valley disciples, who were already injured, looked even paler.

They looked at Xie Xuanyi in front of them with horror and fear.

Yuan Yi was stunned.

Lu Yuan had a complicated expression. In fact, when the Daolu transmitted the message, she realized that something was wrong. Since the Bai Ze Secret Realm was not a good place, how could this spirit weapon be a good thing?

But no one expected that this rule would be so vicious!

"Everyone, why do you look at me like this?"

Xie Xuanyi said calmly: "If I am interested in the [Daolu], is there still anyone alive here now?"

These disciples of Baihua Valley all showed expressions of shame.

Thinking back to what happened before... everyone understood why Xie Zhen remained silent.

"Thank you, Master. Please don't blame them."

Lu Yuan took a step forward and said sincerely: "My fellow apprentice sisters usually practice in seclusion and have never been involved in the world... They just respect and fear you, and there is no other meaning."

"..."

Xie Xuanyi didn't say anything.

He looked towards Dao Jiu.

This furnace spirit has been practicing for thousands of years and is full of calculations, no different from humans.

This guy deliberately hid his spiritual thoughts for a while, and then announced them.

Obviously, it was to "sow discord".

That is to say, the people who came to the Dao furnace this time had uneven strength, and he was more than capable of crushing everyone else... which is why no tragedy occurred.

If it were several monks of equal strength, they would arrive here together.

What will be the result?

I'm afraid they've already been fighting each other!
"what……"

Dao Jiu looked around at everyone and found that there was no movement. He asked disappointedly: "Don't any of you want this [Dao Furnace]?"

next moment.

What responded to him was the sound of a sword!
Xie Xuanyi reached out and pulled the reed from Yuan Yi's arms and threw it out!

The sword light tore through the sky, turning into a long rainbow, aiming at the [Dao Furnace] above the hall, and crashed into it.

A loud "bang" sound!
The reeds go and come back.

The Taoist furnace was like a huge bell, making faint sounds, and the divine mist was blown away by the sword energy!
The air waves spread out.

Xie Xuanyi grabbed the reed that was flying backwards. Due to the huge force, he was forced to take two steps back to stop his retreat. The recoil of the sword caused blood to flow out of his palm. However, under the nourishment of the vitality of the [Immortal Fountain], the injury was completely healed in just a breath. He took a deep breath and reinserted the reed into the scabbard of Yuan Yi's sword.

"Mr. Xie, what are you doing?"

Daojiu's clothes and curtains flew together.

There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "Are you trying to destroy the [Dao Furnace]?"

"Brother Daojiu is joking."

Xie Xuanyi said casually: "I know how much I weigh now. I just want to see what kind of treasure this [Dao Furnace] that gave birth to the transformed spirit is. This sword just now... Brother Daojiu should not mind, right?"

"It's just a sword, why would I care?"

Dao Jiu shook his head and said calmly: "Master Xie, the force of your sword is too weak, not even enough to tickle me."

"The Dao furnace is indeed quite impressive. Thank you for your insight."

Xie Xuanyi smiled.

He threw out this sword...actually he just wanted to see how hard this [Dao Furnace] was.

He naturally knew that Yuan Yi's reeds could not harm this real treasure in the slightest.

But what if the sword he just threw out was [Chronic Illness]?

Consider it carefully.

Xie Xuanyi felt that with his current realm, even with [Chronic Illness] in hand, it would be difficult to destroy this strange [Dao Furnace]... Just when the flying sword touched the Dao Furnace, Xie Xuanyi felt the scorching heat in the furnace. This was most likely the Dao pattern law left by the Great Sage Bai Ze in the furnace!
I'm afraid that Dao Jiu can fight back and forth with the cultivators in Yin Shen realm!
Xie Xuanyi raised his hands and saluted.

"Brother Daojiu."

He said sincerely: "The Dao furnace is really precious. I am not worthy of it, so I will not bother you anymore... I hope Brother Daojiu can show me the way."

The Dao furnace spirit was stunned at first when he heard this, and then he sneered.

He handed over a sword, didn't waver, and then gave up?
"Xie Zhen, is this your way of cultivation?"

He no longer concealed his sarcasm.

After confirming that the [Daolu] was a top-level spiritual treasure, this man named Xie became even more determined to give up.

He could tell.

This Mr. Xie and the others must have just met for the first time and they don't have any friendship.

If you kill these people, you can get the [Dao Furnace]... This guy named Xie actually chose to refuse!

"What about you? Don't you have anyone willing to take a chance for a great opportunity or good fortune?"

Daojiu looked towards the disciples of Baihua Valley.

These disciples looked at each other, and then they quietly came behind Xie Xuanyi...

This is the response.

“My master has set up layers of formations outside the secret realm to block those who have no destiny and no ambition.”

Dao Jiu said slowly: "Only those who are determined to die and thirst for the Great Dao can step into the secret realm... To be able to see me is a blessing earned through ten lifetimes of cultivation. Do you know that as long as you get this [Dao Furnace], you can at least save a hundred years of hard cultivation?!"

He looked at these indifferent people with a puzzled expression.

After a long time.

Dao Jiu chuckled softly.

"Interesting...interesting..."

"Those guys who entered the secret realm in the past fought for the [Dao Furnace] without hesitation and were bleeding... Not only are your realms low, but even your desire to seek the Dao is so weak..."

He raised his head again, looked at Xie Xuanyi, and asked in confusion: "What happened in the outside cultivation world in recent years?"

These words caught Xie Xuanyi's attention.

The monks who have entered the secret realm in the past?
What does this mean...The secret realm left behind by Great Sage Bai Ze has never appeared in Da Chu!

And it is not difficult to infer from Daojiu's tone.

Those practitioners who had previously entered the secret realm.

Their realm and strength are much higher than those of his group!
Xie Xuanyi said calmly: "It is because my realm is too low, so the most urgent thing is to think about surviving... At this time, not fighting for the [Dao Furnace] is the right choice."

"how about you."

Dao Jiu stared at Xie Xuanyi again, his tone full of confusion: "You can obviously take the [Dao Furnace], why don't you take it?"

"Brother Daojiu, do you really want to know the answer?"

Xie Xuanyi said softly: "Xie has a suggestion, I don't know if it is appropriate."

Dao Jiu raised his eyebrows.

"I can stay here and answer all your questions about 'out there'."

Xie Xuanyi said softly: "As for them, please point out a way out of the secret realm."

"Hehehe..."

Daojiu smiled.

He walked around the hall and looked at Xie Xuanyi again, his eyes flashing with a strange light: "I guessed it... Are you a cultivator who practices the art of love? Are these women the cauldrons you've set your eyes on? Did you cast the Heart Refining Gu on them?!"

In his opinion, only people who practiced evil arts would value women so much.

Apart from this, he really couldn't think of the reason why Xie Zhen saved these people!
"..."

These words made everyone silent.

Xie Xuanyi said helplessly: "The art of love, do you think I am that kind of person?"

"Hmm... it doesn't look like that. You seem to be a pure yang person and have never tasted meat."

Dao Jiu frowned.

In this case, he really couldn't understand it.

Xie Xuanyi sighed and said, "For a transformed spirit like Brother Daojiu, it shouldn't be difficult to open a convenient door, right?"

Dao Jiu frowned and thought for a long time.

He stared at Xie Xuanyi and said, "I can open the door and send these people away. But I also have a request."

"Ok?"

Xie Xuanyi raised his eyebrows.

"I want you to take me away."

Dao Jiu said seriously: "I don't want to continue sleeping in this secret place. I want to go out and see the world."
