Chapter 1067: Chapter 1066: Demon Heart
“Sect Leader Zheng truly has a good strategy,” Sixth Elder sneered.
“There’s no harm in using a little deceit in war,” Zheng Yunhao chuckled in response.
“Our Jiwei Sect is weak compared to those major forces; we have no choice but to take such a risk.”
Saying this, Zheng Yunhao extended both hands.
“Hand it over, the inheritance to us, and I can assure you that no harm will co to you.”
“There is no inheritance inside the Secret Realm,” Xia Wanqing explained.
“We will search ourselves to see whether there it’s there or not,” Zheng Yunhao said with a light laugh.
“Now, please don’t resist.”
Xia Wanqing frowned slightly and was about to activate the Emperor’s Painting, but was stopped by Xu Zii.
“The Emperor’s will diminishes with each use; save it for when we are truly in crisis.
I will deal with these few people.”
Xu Zii stepped forward, looking sowhat bored.
“You’re quite confident for one so young,” the elder on the left among the Three Elders began.
The so-called Three Talents: Heaven, Earth, Human.
The three stepped forward, their aura overwhelming, their robes fluttering in the wind.
Three Longswords of different attributes floated in the void.
“Will you surrender peacefully, or shall we take action?” the Three Elders inquired.
“All of you co at once,” Xu Zii said with a wave of his hand and a laugh.
The three looked at each other and were all slightly angered.
With a light shout from the three, holding their respective Three Talents Swords, they descended from the sky and surrounded Xu Zii.
The Three Talents Swords emitted three dazzling lights.
Forming a triangle, they enshrouded Xu Zii within.
These were the three Dao intents.
Heavenly Secrets Path, Earth Pulse Path, and Human Realm Path.
The three represent the three lines, and three lines make up one trigram.
The three Dao intents were Heaven Shaking, with endless brilliance sprinkling down.
Then, the three Longswords ca at Xu Zii from all directions, slaying their way towards him.
Xu Zii laughed and, with a wave of his hand, a formidable force erged.
Subsequently, the three swords fell simultaneously, and a “bang bang bang” was heard as the Heaven, Earth, and Human Longswords all broke in front of him.
The Three Elders seed to have been dealt a heavy blow.
They spat out turbid blood and their figures were sent flying backward.
“Elder,” Zheng Yunhao’s expression changed drastically, and he hurried over to help the three Elders up.
The three raised their heads, looking towards Xu Zii in fear.
“Do you know why I didn’t kill you?” Xu Zii asked.
“Please enlighten us,” the Three Elders replied.
“I heard that in the past, your sect was an ally of the Heaven Martial Sect,” Xu Zii said.
“I have t the Nine Nights Immortal King in the inheritance before, who was the Dao companion of the Heaven Martial Emperor.
Why should the later generations be so troubled?
Your sect has already fallen; why not join hands and develop together?
I spare your lives for you to go back and give this so thought.”
Hearing Xu Zii’s words, Zheng Yunhao showed deep contemplation.
The four stood up, bowed deeply to Xu Zii, and then walked away into the distance.
“To let them go just like that, isn’t that too easy for them?” Shangguan Lan said from the side.
“Having one more ally is far better than killing them,” Xu Zii replied.
“If they are unable to recognize their good fortune, it will still not be late to kill them.”
…
The group continued on their journey, finally returning to the Heaven Martial Sect of Mufu Mountain.
Sixth Elder and Xia Wanqing went to report on the situation of the journey, while Xu Zii returned to the courtyard.
Not long after, Xia Wanqing also finished her report and returned.
“Grandfather has confird my position as the Young Sect Leader,” Xia Wanqing said.
“Good,” Xu Zii nodded.
He was also considering the matter of his own departure.
“Grandfather ntioned another thing,” Xia Wanqing paused for a mont, then spoke.
“What?”
“The matter of Dao source, grandfather has asked to go to the Qianniu Taoist Court on behalf of the Heaven Martial Sect,” Xia Wanqing replied.
“You don’t want to go?” Xu Zii asked.
“Not exactly, it’s mainly that I’m reluctant to leave this place, and I don’t know how long I will be gone,” Xia Wanqing explained.
“Grandfather wants to stay in the Qianniu Taoist Court to train.
He said that the world there is much bigger, and staying in the Heaven Martial Sect for a lifeti would lead to no great achievents.”
“Then go, I also happen to want to visit the Qianniu Taoist Court,” Xu Zii said with a smile.
“It’s up to you to decide.”
After a brief chat with Xia Wanqing, Xu Zii returned to his own room.
Because he sensed that Bai ng was calling for him.
His Divine Soul returned to the Divine Continent, where Bai ng had been waiting for him for so ti.
“My lord.”
“What happened?” Xu Zii asked.
“I seem to have heard of that Great Emperor Funiu from the Qianniu Taoist Court,” Bai ng said.
“He might know the whereabouts of your Demon Heart.”
“Demon Heart,” Xu Zii frowned slightly.
“Yes, when the Prison Suppressor Demon Body separated from you, the Demon Body’s Demon Heart was also suppressed.”
Bai ng continued, “Before I went into slumber, according to the information I had, it seems that the Demon Heart is related to this Great Emperor Funiu.”
“Then it seems I must visit the Qianniu Taoist Court,” Xu Zii said with a smile.
“Also, you have to be careful of the so-called Holy Hall,” Bai ng said.
“I suspect they have connections with the Holy Court.”
“I understand,” Xu Zii nodded.
After conversing with Bai ng for a while, he continued to practice.
When night fell, the sky gradually darkened.
As Xu Zii was practicing, he slowly opened his eyes and looked out the window.
A thin bamboo slipped through the crack of the window, bringing in a waft of sleepy fog.
He carefully slled the fog and discovered that it had a strong sleep-inducing component.
Moreover, it was incredibly powerful, such that even a Saint Vein powerhouse with an evolved Divine Soul would fall victim if they unwittingly inhaled this smoke.
He looked outside the window with interest.
He saw a figure in night clothes, tiptoeing back and forth between his room and Xia Wanqing’s.
After a while, the figure slowly pushed open the door of Xia Wanqing’s room and went inside.
Xu Zii followed behind him and also entered the room.
Xia Wanqing seed to have succumbed to the fog, sleeping heavily on the bed, while the figure looked at the Storage Ring in her hand.
As he tried to take it off, suddenly he felt a pat on his shoulder.
The figure was shocked, turned around, and saw Xu Zii watching him with a smile on his face.
“You’re throwing caution to the wind,” Xu Zii said.
He snapped his fingers and the extinguished light in the room ignited by itself.
Under the illumination of the light, the black cloth on Li Xiaoyuan’s face was slowly removed.
“Spare my life, I only wanted the inheritance, I had no intention of harming her,” Li Xiaoyuan pleaded urgently.
“You thought she had an inheritance?” Xu Zii said with a light laugh.
“Whether it’s the position of Young Sect Leader or the opportunity to go to the Qianniu Taoist Court, all belong to Xia Wanqing. That’s why you feel extrely imbalanced inside.
Knowing that your opportunities are dwindling, you wanted to give it a try.”
“I had no ill-intentions, I was deluded, please spare my life, I will be at your beck and call,” Li Xiaoyuan continued.
“Your existence is simply a waste of air,” Xu Zii reached out to grab him.
Li Xiaoyuan sensed the inevitability of the situation, couldn’t care about anything else, and imdiately fled out the window.
