Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"Give me that sword now, I want to melt away the seeds of evil that man left behind!"

"Or is it the root of all trouble?!" Yan Huan sensed a juicy secret.

"Yun Li!" Upon hearing these words, Huai Yan raised his voice and scolded:

"How rude! Quickly apologize to the guests who have come from afar!"

"..."

After a long silence, Yun Li turned to look at Pavor.

"sorry!"

"No..." Pavor was about to reply when Yun Li interrupted him again.

"But despite my apologies, I will still melt this demonic sword down with my own hands!"

"I will never let it fall into anyone's hands!"

"..." Huaiyan took a deep breath. "Yunli, you go out first."

"..."

After hesitating for a moment, Yun Li walked out of Sichen Palace in front of everyone.

After she left, Huaiyan sighed to everyone present:

"Ugh."

"That's why I kept it from her."

"I didn't want to cause any trouble, but things have backfired. Is it really fate?"

After Yun Li left, Huai Yan began exchanging pleasantries with the delegation members again.

Yan Huan immediately left Si Chen Palace to search for Yun Li's figure.

Finally, in front of a flowerbed outside Sichen Palace, Yan Huan heard the girl sniffling and sobbing.

"..."

About ten minutes passed.

Yun Li, her voice trembling with tears, said to those behind her:

Stop looking and talk!

"talk!"

"..."

Yun Li wiped away her tears, turned around, and questioned Yan Huan, "You wouldn't happen to be someone Grandpa sent to find me, would you?"

"Your grandfather can still command me?" Yan Huan tilted her head.

"You must be."

"..."

Before Yan Huan could react, Yun Li continued, "Let's make this clear first, I'll stay here and stop the demon sword when the guards aren't looking."

"Next, I'm going to melt it before anyone can react."

"You can't stop me, no one can stop me!"

"Why would I stop you?" Yan Huan shrugged.

"It's just a sword. If you're happy to melt it down, then go ahead and melt it down."

"If you ask me, whether it's a sword or not doesn't really matter."

"For Luofu, having one more sword is neither a big deal nor a big deal."

"And Kalevala has already made connections with Raufu. If you melt down the sword, they will only receive more trade compensation and will be overjoyed."

"Melt it, I'll melt it with you."

"..."

"Thanks."

Yun Li sighed helplessly.

"I guess you're the only one who will support me."

"That's a [demon sword]. Have you ever heard of a [demon sword]?"

"Judging from your reaction, this must be a sword with side effects," Yan Huan said calmly, hands in her pockets.

"According to the information revealed by Pavor, the side effects of this magic sword are insignificant compared to the benefits it can bring."

"Or rather, he didn't even mention anything about potential side effects."

Yun Li looked at Yan Huan and explained:

"The so-called Demon Sword is a sword that allows even someone who has never been trained in swordsmanship to have profound and mysterious sword techniques flash through their mind as soon as they hold the hilt."

"Even the weakest person, who is powerless to kill a chicken, can wield a sword with astonishing strength and speed that is beyond the reach of the naked eye."

"?"

“I have one of these too.” Yan Huan silently pulled out a pair of fist blades from her pocket.

"That person had so much fun playing this game. If it hadn't been hit by a nuclear bomb, she could have played until the end of the martial arts ceremony."

“I’m not joking with you about toys, and I’m not talking about some absurd or outlandish story.” Yun Li said seriously.

“No… this is real too.” Yan Huan pointed to the fist blade in her hand, “It really is…”

Yun Li interrupted Yan Huan.

"Those who wield the Demon Sword can achieve mastery of swordsmanship in an instant, just like a seasoned expert, but all of this comes at a price."

“I understand.” Yan Huan’s eyes showed understanding.

"The price is becoming brain-dead; without it, you'll reveal your true form."

“But this sword is not like that,” Yun Li continued.

"Just like constantly adding fuel to a furnace, with each swing of the sword, the swordsman will gradually have his lifeblood drained by the sword in his hand, day after day, until the oil is exhausted and the lamp is extinguished."

"Before long, it will no longer be people wielding swords, but people becoming walking corpses driven by swords, their minds filled with bloodthirsty and murderous thoughts."

"Besides absorbing blood and marrow, it also affects the mind?" Yan Huan pondered.

"Then this side effect is indeed a bit dangerous, like being parasitized."

Yun Li nodded.

"Have you ever heard of a spirit called [Suiyang]?"

"This thing has a passion for absorbing human emotions and memories, and is keen on manipulating flesh and blood."

"The truth about the so-called Demon Sword is this: there was a craftsman obsessed with forging swords who infused the sun and moon into the metal, hoping to make the weapon a sentient being."

"I know Yanqing well."

Yan Huan immediately clapped her hands and laughed:

"At that time, he was possessed by Suiyang, which greatly increased his strength. He caused trouble at the Qilong Altar and even wanted to challenge Jingyuan to a duel..."

"Hmm? Is he really that weak-willed?"

Yun Li was stunned, seemingly never having imagined that Yan Qing would also be manipulated by Sui Yang.

"Nobody has ever told me about this."

"Of course, because it's confidential and can't be said to outsiders."

"..."

"Then why are you telling me this?"

"I'm not a member of the Immortal Ship, so isn't it normal for me to break the rules?"

Yan Huan asked:

"So, the sword Pavor sent is a demonic sword, and your father sealed the sun within it?"

Yun Li nodded, acknowledging everything.

“I know I did something wrong during the sword-giving ceremony, but I’ve thought about it carefully. If I hadn’t caused trouble, it wouldn’t have been long before that demonic sword caused trouble.”

"So let me cause trouble instead."

"You really... I'm going to cry my eyes out." Yan Huan wiped away her tears.

Immediately, doubts arose again.

"Since this sword has such severe side effects, why did your grandfather still give it as the prize for the championship?"

"Isn't this harming people?"

"Who knows?" Yun Li was also very troubled.

"Perhaps he felt that the one who could become the ultimate victor would be able to control this sword."

"But as you said, even Yan Qing, who currently has the highest score, is affected by Sui Yang, let alone others."

"Oh, right." Yun Li suddenly thought of something.

"Weren't they planning to send the sword to the Imperial Workshop for repairs? Why hasn't anyone come out yet? Do you have any leads?"

"..."

Yan Huan thought for a mere 0.5 seconds using her toes.

"Perhaps the Sichen Palace has more than one gate."

"..."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
