Borrowing a sword

Chapter 234 Using a human body to perform a divine duty!
Chu Huaixu couldn't cure Zhong Ming for the time being, but thousands of miles away, he seemed to have driven another one insane.

Ming Xuanji's facial expression gradually became ferocious, and all his previous composure was gone.

His lifespan was already short.

He spent three years of his lifespan using a curse to kill Chu Huaixu in order to set things right.

Just as Cheng Yuyan said, his remaining lifespan is probably not enough to support him in seeing that so-called predetermined "endgame"!
But Ming Xuanji didn't care.

He believed that his divination was correct.

Moreover, he also believed in the result that the Dao Ancestor had calculated a thousand years ago!

I am not necessarily entirely correct. The Daoist Ancestor passed away a thousand years ago, so we should not blindly believe him.

—But if I were to combine my knowledge with that of the Dao Ancestor, then I would surely be right!
If what he divined matches what I divined, with both of us providing double verification, how could there be any mistake?
--"authority"!
A path to salvation has been laid out before us.

Why don't you leave!

As the Grand Preceptor of the Moon Kingdom, this is my destiny and my duty!
He only has a few years left to live; when it's time to sacrifice, he should sacrifice!

Even after divination, Ming Xuanji sometimes thought to himself, "Perhaps it was already a part of what the Dao Ancestor calculated a thousand years ago."

"The Dao Ancestor foresaw my fate long ago."

"He also figured out what I would do."

"If nothing unexpected happens, I was already part of the game a thousand years ago!"

Every time he thought of this, his heart would surge with emotion, and he would feel a surge of pride, as if he and the Dao Ancestor were kindred spirits!

For the sake of my Moon Kingdom and for the sake of all living beings, it is imperative to set things right!
But why does this happen?
"The birth date and time of Huo Dingyi, which are preserved within the organization, cannot be wrong!"

"I've done the divination, and the birth date and time are correct!"

"But why is this happening!"

"Why!!!" Ming Xuanji was as if possessed.

But in reality, does the so-called Huo Dingyi still exist in this world?

Since Huo Dingyi has already been annihilated, then who exactly is your curse-killing technique intended to kill?
Everything was just as Chu Huaixu had stated to the Prince Rui's heir that day.

"I am not Huo Dingyi of the Moon Kingdom, I am Chu Huaixu of the Daoist Sect."

Looking at the old man, Cheng Yuyan couldn't help but say, "Elder Ming, why don't you meditate and regulate your breathing first, and take some pills to heal your injuries?"

He saw that Ming Xuanji's eyes were empty, and blood was dripping from the corners of his eyes.

"Why are you doing this?" Cheng Yuyan thought to herself.

This ninth-realm master cultivator, who considered himself a scholar, actually didn't particularly like people who were skilled in divination.

Because they always think they are acting on behalf of Heaven!

It was as if they carried the will of the heavens!
"But little do people know that human strength has its limits."

"Heaven is heaven, and man is man."

Although Cheng Yuyan had refined a wisp of primordial power, she still thought this way.

To be precise, it was precisely because he refined a wisp of the Heavenly Dao's origin that he truly understood how terrifying the Heavenly Dao was!

Using a human body to perform sacred duties?
“Isn’t this a kind of overstepping of authority!” Cheng Yuyan thought to himself.

Junzi Temple, inside the small courtyard.

Chu Huaixu's discomfort had long since vanished completely.

But he kept a watchful eye on things.

Jiang Zhi frowned, pondered for a long time, and offered a possibility.

"The strange methods just now were very similar to those of a certain person."

"And there is a very high probability that that person will attack you."

“I just don’t know why he attacked you at this moment, and what gives him the right to attack you from thousands of miles away,” Jiang Zhi said.

"Junior Grandmaster Uncle, who is the person you are talking about?" Chu Huaixu asked.

"The Moon Kingdom has two national advisors, one male and one female. This person is named Ming Xuanji, and he is the old national advisor of the Moon Kingdom."

"Besides that, he is also the master of the little girl whose spiritual seed you planted."

"This person is skilled in divination and always feels that he can perform a divine duty."

“You are a variable, even transcending the scope of the Taoist ancestor’s admonitions.”

"Perhaps that's how he sees it too."

"Although we can't be completely certain that he was the one who did what just happened."

“However, if you encounter him in the future, you must be extra careful,” Jiang Zhi said.

Upon hearing this, Chu Huaixu nodded seriously.

Then, he asked solemnly, "Junior Grandmaster, could you simply help me kill him?"

Jiang Zhi: "???"

Why did you say that so suddenly?

"Grandmaster Uncle, look! That old scoundrel almost ruined our grand plan!" Chu Huaixu continued. If it really was Ming Xuanji, Chu Huaixu truly wanted him dead!

That feeling just now was awful.

If someone were truly thousands of miles away, they could take action against me.
—I can't sleep or eat in peace until he dies!
Of course, he was just saying it casually.

After all, the other party is the Grand Preceptor of the Moon Kingdom. Killing him would involve too many issues.

But Jiang Zhi was an unparalleled killer. After glancing at his sleeping fifth senior brother, he actually began to consider the feasibility of his plan.

“If it were within the territory of the Moon Kingdom, it would be difficult for him to kill,” Jiang Zhi said.

"As the national advisor, he has already absorbed the nation's fortune into himself."

"If he were in the capital, it would be even more difficult."

"Although he is only at the eighth level of cultivation, if we were to fight in a special place like the capital, even I probably wouldn't be able to hurt him in the slightest."

Chu Huaixu nodded upon hearing this.

But a shadow still lingered in his heart.

This was the first time he had felt this way since he traveled through time.

I feel very uneasy.

"But clearly in 'Borrowing the Sword,' he is Lin Zixuan's master and the national advisor of the Moon Kingdom, and is considered a righteous character in the storyline."

Chu Huaixu felt somewhat puzzled.

At this moment, Jiang Zhi took one last look at his fifth senior brother and said, "Alright, let's go back for today and let our fifth senior brother get a good night's sleep."

"Chu Huaixu, if you have time in the future, you can come here more often and try it a few more times," he instructed.

"Yes, disciple understands," Chu Huaixu replied.

He naturally wouldn't mind rescuing Zhong Ming.

If I can really do that, I'll have another powerful figure at the Ninth Realm behind me!

After Chu Huaixu and Jiang Zhi left the house, Xiang Yan and the others immediately surrounded them.

"How did it go?" everyone asked.

"She's asleep, much more peaceful than usual," Jiang Zhi replied with a smile.

"That's good! That's good!" The atmosphere instantly became lively.

No one expected Chu Huaixu to cure Zhong Ming's madness right now; they just wanted some effect, so that at least there would be something to look forward to.

Don't underestimate the power of hope.

How many people can live a long life is all because of these two words.

Having something to look forward to in life is a blessing.

In addition, Jiang Zhi also recounted the unusual situation that Chu Huaixu had experienced for a brief moment.

After some discussion and using their divine senses to examine the situation, Xiang Yan and the others also felt that Ming Xuanji was highly suspicious.

Because he was the representative figure of this kind of treacherous art.

Moreover, a faint trace of death energy remained in Chu Huaixu's body.

This makes Ming Xuanji, who is skilled in this art, even more suspicious.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Chu Huaixu suddenly remembered something.

"Sect Master, Junior Grandmaster, and all the elders."

"I have a request," he said.

"What is it?" Xiang Yan asked gently.

"This disciple wishes to retrieve some items from Ye Kongxuan's storage bag, hoping to gain a deeper understanding of the cultivators of Kunlun Cave Heaven," he said.

"What aspect do you want to know?" Nangong Yue asked.

These items will be kept by her and the Second Elder for the time being.

Although the cultivation systems of the two worlds are different, people can still study each other's methods of weapon crafting and alchemy.

They couldn't really research any techniques or cultivation methods, since one side relied on the spiritual embryo and the other on the spiritual root, and neither of them possessed the other's cultivation foundation.

However, Chu Huaixu said, "This disciple would like to learn about the cultivation methods and techniques of Kunlun Grotto Heaven."

Everyone looked at each other.

But this was his spoils of war, and everyone was just renting it out, so it wasn't appropriate to say much.

Xiang Yan and the others simply reminded them, "Just look, don't try it."

"Even magic won't work."

"Because to this day, all those who have tried it have gone mad!"
