Borrowing a sword

Chapter 190 The Sword Sect Needs to Give Me an Explanation

Inside the dense forest, everyone was stunned.

Only Han Shuangjiang watched as Chu Huaixu destroyed the sword spirit without the slightest surprise.

She had actually seen a similar scene before.

Back then, Liu Tianfeng and Liu Chengqi made things difficult for the two of them, and in the end, Chu Huaixu slapped Liu Chengqi in front of Deacon Liu.

"That sly fox is always like that, vindictive and vengeful," she thought to herself.

She always felt that in some ways, Chu Huaixu was much better than her.

He was more carefree than her, as if spiritual practice boils down to those four words—a clear and unobstructed mind!

It's obvious that he feels uncomfortable if he can't discipline people himself.

He has always been this kind of person; he has never changed.

In fact, while the phrase "thoughts are clear and unobstructed" seems simple, it is extremely difficult to achieve.

Because one's thoughts are clear and unfettered, from a certain perspective, it can be considered a degree of "doing whatever one pleases".

However, she still felt a little like she was in another world.

I never expected that Steward Liu would die here today.

This reminded her of that day when Chu Huaixu slapped Liu Chengqi and, seeing that she found it hard to accept that the Taoist deacon had such a face, he said: "Human nature is complex and contradictory."

Chu Huaixu has always believed that people are not simply black and white. The vast majority of people are gray. It's just that some people are gray in a light way, while others are gray in a dark way.

At this moment, Zhao Qianfeng, whose consciousness was already damaged, was awakened by Chu Huaixu's two slaps, and then fainted again because his natal sword spirit was destroyed.

Even if the Sword Sect doesn't deal with this person severely, his life is basically ruined.

Looking at Chu Huaixu's actions, Mo Qingmei thought to herself, "He's still just a young man."

She knew perfectly well that this young man was just playing word games.

We said we couldn't use vigilante justice on him, so let's use his sword.

The so-called word games are just skirting the line; if you really want to take them seriously, you can certainly take them seriously.

“But young people are naturally not like us, so hesitant and indecisive,” Mo Qingmei thought to herself.

Seeing this scene, she must have felt relieved.

Little did she know that Chu Huaixu didn't care at all.

Who dares to challenge me?

Yes, playing word games is indeed skirting the line.

Whether a word game is clever or not depends on who is playing it!
As the leader of Xuanhuang, Chu Huaixu is about to enter the Origin Spirit Realm.

He shouldered the brunt of the great calamity of heaven and earth and the karma of all living beings!
You, a disciple of the Sword Sect, actually tried to harm me?

By not killing him, I was, in effect, abiding by the common rules of the four major sects.

I am protecting the rights and interests of my fellow Daoist disciples.

This is also my Daoist sect giving face to your Sword Sect!
As for how to deal with Zhao Qianfeng afterward, that's up to your Sword Sect.

To put it more broadly, your Sword Sect not only needs to give me, Chu Huaixu, an explanation, but also not just to give my Daoist sect an explanation.

You owe an explanation to the entire Xuanhuang Realm!
The mission to vanquish the demon was complete. The members of the Daoist sect mounted their horses and, carrying the unconscious Zhao Qianfeng, returned to the Daoist sect.

Because of Liu Tianfeng's death, the situation has become quite serious.

This matter will be decided by the higher-ups of the Daoist sect. They will send a letter to the Sword Sect and then send someone to escort Zhao Qianfeng to the Sword Sect.

The atmosphere was somewhat somber on the way back.

The death of a fellow disciple undoubtedly affected everyone's emotions.

What's most regrettable is that Deacon Liu left nothing behind.

His magical artifact was also destroyed, so he could not enter the Hidden Spirit Mountain.

If we can enter the sacred mountain of Tibet, we can have a lineage to carry on in the future.

Chu Huaixu sat on his horse and opened his character panel.

This time, after descending the mountain to vanquish the demon, he gained a total of over 30,000 experience points, including the mission rewards.

It's not high, and the returns aren't significant.

However, since the hidden storyline "Possession" has been triggered, the system will definitely provide additional rewards.

After he destroyed that strange divine soul, the reward he received was an upgrade to his [Information Detection] permission level.

His divine sense within his sea of ​​consciousness also grew stronger.

Before this, if he had used an [Information Detection] skill on Mo Qingmei, he would have been unable to obtain some basic information due to the significant difference in their cultivation levels.

But now it's different; he can obtain all the basic information about this Taoist deacon.

"The extent of the privilege elevation is quite significant." This was somewhat unexpected.

As for the improvement in his spiritual power, it was a bonus.

The increase wasn't too dramatic; the attributes increased by about one-fifth.

Throughout the journey, Chu Huaixu still seemed somewhat preoccupied.

The divine soul he encountered inside the altar always felt very strange to him.

"I've never heard of such a thing existing."

"Normally, when a cultivator dies, they are simply dead."

Even great cultivators are no exception.

In his understanding, there should be no concept of possession in "Borrowing the Sword".

He had never heard of such a situation before.

That alone made him feel strange enough.

Besides that, he was also pondering another matter—the successor of the Realm Lord.

"What is a Realm Lord?" Chu Huaixu wondered.

Strictly speaking, he should be considered a successor of the Taoist patriarch.

"What power within me did this spirit sense to utter those words?"

"Is it spiritual power, or something else?"

If it is spiritual power, then can the Dao Ancestor and the Realm Lord he mentioned be considered equal?
But Chu Huaixu still found it very strange. "If he said those words because of the power of the Dao Canon within me, then that's even more absurd."

“In the thousand years since the Dao Ancestor passed away, no one has mastered the complete version of the Dao Canon and possessed the power of the Dao Canon like I do.”

"Back then, even the sect leader and the others were stunned for a long time when they saw the power within me."

"Li Chunsong even blurted out on the spot, asking me what kind of evil kung fu I was practicing."

"Then, how could such a heretic recognize the spiritual power within me?"

"How could he be so knowledgeable about the Daoist canon, recognizing it at a glance!"

"This thing has been out of production for a thousand years!"

"Could it be that this divine soul has existed in the Xuanhuang Realm for a thousand years, and is from the era of the Dao Ancestor?"

At this thought, he felt it was even more impossible.

Cultivation in the Xuanhuang Realm almost does not extend one's lifespan.

Even a powerful figure like the Dao Ancestor eventually passed away.

How could a human soul have wandered in the Xuanhuang Realm for a thousand years?

"However, his saying those words may not be because of the spiritual power within me."

Unfortunately, the situation was critical at the time, and he couldn't just let him continue to possess people just for the sake of watching the drama unfold.

We cannot even rule out the possibility that he is simply spouting nonsense and trying to mislead people.

The group quickly returned to the Taoist sect.

After arriving at the mountain, Chu Huaixu and the others needed to go to the disciples' courtyard to report as soon as possible, so they completed this procedure first.

After reporting back, they will receive sect contribution points.

Mo Qingmei immediately reported the matter to the higher-ups of the Daoist sect.

She felt there was no time to lose.

The person she was looking for was Li Chunsong.

After all, before descending the mountain, Li Chunsong had given Liu Tianfeng a [Domain God Talisman].

Therefore, he is currently the most suitable person to report to.

The sixth elder of the Taoist sect listened to Mo Qingmei's story, and his expression changed several times.

His expression grew increasingly solemn.

Later on, his face even became ashen.

Mo Qingmei was the first to tell him the results, and told him about the deaths of Liu Tianfeng and Ge Long.

This caused Li Chunsong's face to display undisguised anger, and the pressure of a seventh-realm great cultivator unconsciously spread out.

But when he heard about the divine soul, his face showed endless astonishment.

"How is Chu Huaixu?" he hurriedly asked.

“He is fine,” Mo Qingmei replied.

Li Chunsong immediately breathed a sigh of relief and gestured for her to continue.

Later, when he heard that Chu Huaixu had destroyed that divine soul, the Sixth Elder couldn't sit still any longer. He stood up from his chair and began pacing back and forth.

As Li Chunsong paced back and forth, he kept saying, "Don't stop, keep talking!"

"Also, the more detailed the better. Think it through carefully and make sure there are no details you've overlooked."

Mo Qingmei nodded upon hearing this.

She recounted the entire incident in great detail.

This includes the final act where Chu Huaixu destroyed Zhao Qianfeng's natal sword.

Then she said, "Sixth Elder, at that time my sea of ​​consciousness was injured and I was unconscious. Many subsequent events were actually told to me by Chu Huaixu."

“Therefore, I think you should call him over and ask him,” she suggested.

“Okay, I understand, I will handle it,” Li Chunsong said to Mo Qingmei.

After saying that, he gave the other party a spiritual pill to help restore his consciousness.

"You've worked hard this time. Take this pill to avoid any potential problems."

"Thank you, Elder Xie."

After Mo Qingmei left, Li Chunsong flew directly to the main hall of Wendao Peak and immediately sent a telepathic message to all the high-ranking officials, asking them to gather in the main hall for a meeting.

This matter is no longer something he can handle entirely.

He never expected things to develop this way.

"This is within the jurisdiction of my Taoist sect!"

This is the most unexpected part.

"It's one thing for an altar to appear, but how did Chu Huaixu end up encountering that thing?"

As for Chu Huaixu playing word games and ruining Zhao Qianfeng's sword spirit, Li Chunsong didn't take it to heart at all.

It's nothing serious.

After suddenly experiencing all this, it's understandable to want to vent.

Not long after, Xiang Yan and the others flew to the Dao Asking Peak, and even Jiang Zhi came.

As soon as everyone entered, they looked at Li Chunsong and asked:
"What happened that has brought everyone here in such a hurry?"

Everyone's expression was somewhat solemn.

Li Chunsong has made such a big fuss; it seems something serious has happened.

In fact, if it were Liu Tianfeng's death, the tone he would have used to summon everyone here would have been one of anger.

However, his tone was mainly anxious.

The sixth elder of the Taoist sect uttered only a few words, yet everyone's faces showed shock. Chu Yinyin even exclaimed loudly on the spot, "What!?"

What Li Chunsong said was:

"Chu Huaixu has encountered a [Primordial Spirit]!"
