Murong Qingqing had just started to speak when she suddenly realized she had been tricked into revealing information, and inwardly chided herself for her lack of experience in the Martial World.
"You really are the successor of the Six-fingered Demon, no wonder..."
Jiang Dali stared at Murong Qingqing, his expression turning a bit strange, thinking to himself, "No wonder this woman could attain the strength and Inner Strength of the Gang Qi Realm in just half a year, and her temperant has also changed so much..."
"No wonder what?"
Realizing her slip of the tongue, Murong Qingqing’s eyebrows beca fierce as she glared at Jiang Dali.
"It’s nothing."
Jiang Dali shook his head, glanced at the ancient zither behind the woman, and calmly said, "The zither on your back is not the Heavenly Demon Zither. If you are indeed the successor of the Six-fingered Demon, only with the Heavenly Demon Zither can the full might of your Cultivation Technique be unleashed.
If you agree to three things for , I can lend you the Jade Cicada to cure your master’s strange poison, and even assist your advancent to the Heavenly Person Realm in the future."
"You actually recognize the appearance of the Heavenly Demon Zither?"
Murong Qingqing’s expression was one of surprise.
Jiang Dali nodded, "It’s said that the music played by the Heavenly Demon Zither has a demonically bewitching sound that can indulge and even drive people mad. The Six-fingered Demon beca an unstoppable force in the Martial World with the power of the Heavenly Demon Zither and the Heavenly Demon Song.
Even now, the Sky Zither Sect stands unshaken in the Martial World thanks to its reputation."
Murong Qingqing proudly smiled, "You’re right, the Heavenly Demon Zither is the sacred treasure of our Sky Zither Sect.
Moreover, I haven’t fully inherited my master’s Power or legacy, so of course, I wouldn’t be roaming the Martial World with the Heavenly Demon Zither.
What are these three things you want to agree to?"
"I haven’t decided on the three things yet. But rest assured, it’s just that in the future when you obtain the Heavenly Demon Zither, I’ll need you to support a few fights. If you agree, I can lend you the Jade Cicada," Jiang Dali said calmly.
Murong Qingqing frowned, "You’re so strong, yet you still need my help?"
Jiang Dali said, "Don’t underestimate yourself. As long as you receive the true complete inheritance of the Six-fingered Demon, the power and killing efficacy that the Heavenly Demon Zither combined with the Heavenly Demon Song can exhibit, is sothing that even I would be wary of."
"I’m willing to believe that, my master was indeed very strong in the Martial World back in the day and made quite a na for himself," Murong Qingqing nodded and looked towards Jiang Dali, "I can agree to your conditions, as long as the battles you want my help with do not involve harming the innocent or causing trouble in the Jianghu Martial Arts, I can agree."
Jiang Dali smiled and took out a wooden box from his embrace.
Opening it, he took out a walnut-sized Jade Cicada and handed it to the astonished Murong Qingqing.
"You’re just giving away such a precious item to ? Aren’t you afraid I’ll go back on my word?" Murong Qingqing was surprised as she took the Jade Cicada.
Jiang Dali’s eyebrows rose slightly, his eyes confident like a gleaming silver blade, "Would you dare?"
Murong Qingqing choked for a mont, wanting to summon the courage to puff out her chest and say "I dare."
But eting Jiang Dali’s ostensibly smiling yet intimidating gaze, she could only hold back and nod seriously.
"Fine! I certainly won’t go back on my word. After I save my master, I will co to find you and return the Jade Cicada."
As she said this, Murong Qingqing seed to rember sothing, and quickly looked around before carefully putting away the Jade Cicada.
She watched as Murong Qingqing left.
Wang Yuyan muttered at his side, "It’s said that the zither sound of the Heavenly Demon Zither combined with the Heavenly Demon Song and the Heavenly Demon Dance can unleash unimaginable power, how strong exactly is that?"
Jiang Dali crossed his arms and spoke indifferently, "It’s a Martial Arts capable of severely injuring or even killing those in the Heavenly Human Realm, damaging the human spirit in an intangible way."
In his previous life, Jiang Dali had already witnessed the successor of the Six-fingered Demon shine brightly in the Martial World, knowing that the combination of the Heavenly Demon Zither and the Heavenly Demon Song was a very strong Divine Intent offensive, severing human spirits and killing invisibly.
Therefore, once Murong Qingqing truly inherited the Six-fingered Demon’s legacy, and acquired the Heavenly Demon Zither, she could indeed transform into a top-notch powerhouse.
In the mories of his past life, the Heavenly Demon Zither and the successor of the Six-fingered Demon had only appeared in the Martial World two years after the internal testing began.
Moreover, he rembered that the successor of the Six-fingered Demon didn’t exactly look like Murong Qingqing.
But in this life, it seed that circumstances had changed.
It seed that no matter who or what he got involved with, the original trajectory was influenced and altered.
If Murong Qingqing hadn’t cooperated with him to kill Qiu Xue i, she probably wouldn’t have returned to her sect so soon.
And now, since she had inherited the Six-fingered Demon’s legacy.
Surely, her physique was a perfect match for the Heavenly Demon Zither, capable of withstanding that unique Demon Nature.
Otherwise, she would not have been chosen as the successor.
So, lending out a Jade Cicada which wasn’t of much use to him,
In exchange for the opportunity of a Six-fingered Demon’s successor to co to his aid three tis,
Jiang Dali felt it was a profitable deal.
Of course, if he revealed his identity, Jiang Dali felt he could also earn the friendship of Murong Qingqing.
After all, he had once established a friendship with her.
However, now Murong Qingqing has undergone a major change in temperant, and her character seems to have beco much more assertive than the gentle nature she used to have; many things were unpredictable, and Jiang Dali did not want to expose his historical identity.
"Let’s go, we’ll find a place to stay now. We’re going to have to stay in Leshan City for a few days.
You should also think carefully about whether my Horizontal Training Cultivation Technique needs any improvent or optimizations," said Jiang Dali, turning to address Wang Yuyan, whose hair was thoroughly wet from the rain.
"Alright... Ah, Achoo!"
Wang Yuyan sneezed, her whole body shivering.
The Inner Strength of the Life and Death Net within her spontaneously circulated, emanating a warm heat that imdiately expelled the chill that had penetrated her body, making her feel much more comfortable.
