As the one involved, Fu Yunzi was utterly perplexed.
The Five Extremes Sect had pressed in and interrogated or, rather, examined him numerous times.
Then came the endless debates, negotiations, and probes...
Today, he had thought the root of the matter would be revealed; however, unexpectedly, it turned out to be this beneficial opportunity to take on disciples?
He was also guilty of not seeing Taishan due to a leaf blocking his view.
After all, there were only a few inheritors of the Xuanpo Cold Light Sword and many had died.
The remaining ones naturally became highly coveted, representing a chance to become a Primordial Spirit Practitioner.
The Heavenly Mechanism Sect really couldn’t retain him!
"Fu Yunzi, if you consent to join the Wuji Demon Sect, I, representing the Sect Leader, promise to immediately appoint you as Young Master, give you a mountain of demons, legions of servants, and hundreds of witches... We don’t need to adhere to those broken rules; you can live as freely and happily as you want!"
The old monster of the Wuji Demon Sect immediately shifted his target, his voice tempting, seemingly using a bit of the secret technique of Heavenly Demon Sound.
"Mountain Lifting Demon, have you no shame?!"
Returning Elixir Old Monster of the Shushan Sword Sect bellowed, "To use such methods on the younger generation..."
His Shushan already had successors, two of them, both outstanding in aptitude, talent, and character, and he truly couldn’t make such a promise.
But he had his own plans, and as he roared, a sword light flew out.
The two old demons thought he was going to turn hostile and act, hurriedly deploying layers of Demon Skill to protect themselves.
But they saw this person turn into a sword light, snatching up Fu Yunzi and escaping!
"The old thief has no shame!"
The two Great Demons kept cursing continually, chasing relentlessly.
However, being Returning Elixir elders themselves, and with almost equal mana, they truly couldn’t catch up with the unparalleled Shushan sword escape technique.
"Compared to securing a Primordial Spirit Practitioner for our sect, this face... I really don’t need it."
Returning Elixir Old Monster of Shushan thought very clearly.
Disregarding everything, he directly moved towards the Shushan area, then relied on the protection of Spiritual Treasures, truly fearing no one.
Only this act was a bit unsightly; in the future, when interacting with peers, they would surely guard against this move.
’Xuanpo Cold Light, seven swords, seven inheritances, obtain one Primordial Spirit and hope! Four have already died, two others, one missing, one taken by the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect, this last one, must be for my Shushan.’
With this, even being daily blocked by Primordial Spirits at the gate, the Shushan Sword Sect wouldn’t fear.
At worst, they’d close the mountain for a few hundred years and focus solely on cultivating Fu Yunzi into a Primordial Spirit!
Unfortunately, he didn’t know precisely how to cultivate through the Seven Emotions Tribulation; otherwise, he’d probably be frustrated enough to spit blood.
If forever unable to leave the mountains, to practice amidst the world, Fu Yunzi would just be a waste!
"Haha, that Mountain Lifting Demon still thinks he can catch up to my sword escape, what a joke!"
Racing like lightning, with Shushan in sight, this Returning Elixir Old Monster laughed heartily, bursting out with swears unintentionally.
’This great merit established, Senior Brother Jiang must have a reward for me.’
Right as he tenderly lowered the sword light, preparing to enter the gates of Shushan.
Within thousands of miles around, the atmosphere suddenly shifted!
A terrifying mana surged, seemingly blocking the heavens and the earth.
In that vague moment, he had even surpassed the realm of the Golden Core!
"Primordial Spirit?!"
The Returning Elixir Sword Practitioner’s mouth was filled with bitterness, with only one thought: "Has the world come to a point where Primordial Spirit Practitioners are as common as cabbages? No... more like, when did my Shushan Sword Sect provoke such a formidable enemy?"
"This Primordial Spirit seed is obtainable by all the Five Extremes, except for your Shushan Sword Sect."
Alongside a charming voice, Cui Yingying’s fiery figure appeared out of thin air, her duration of ambush near Shushan unknown.
"It’s Rouge Tiger Cui Yingying!"
Fu Yunzi felt an itch in his hands, wanting to record this scene.
As a member of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, he was truly well-informed. At this moment, his professional habits were inevitably triggered.
"Another Primordial Spirit, you’re a person from the Great Snow Mountain of the Western Regions! Could it be that the Great Snow Mountain intends to go to war with my Shushan Sword Sect?" The Returning Elixir Old Monster suddenly thought of a terrifying possibility.
A Primordial Spirit holding a Spiritual Treasure could possibly lead to the destruction of the Shushan Sword Sect!
"Western Regions Great Snow Mountain... the lineage of Joyful Peak has already been exterminated by this concubine..." Cui Yingying said with a playful smile, "I merely... hold a grudge solely against your Shushan Sword Sect, and this time, I only wish to save that young man!"
Fu Yunzi touched his face and suddenly felt that she had a good eye.
This Returning Elixir Old Monster wanted to stall for time, waiting for the Sect to call on the Immortal Slaying Master.
However, Cui Yingying clearly understood this point too. With a smile, she suddenly slapped the top of her head, and a White Bone Primordial Spirit flew out from within.
This Primordial Spirit appeared like a Ten Thousand Bone Demon but more terrifying, with bones as clear as jade, semi-solid and semi-ethereal, a skull-like head with two ghostly fires burning within.
Cui Yingying clasped her hands, and hundreds of feet of demon light surged out around her.
This was—Yuan Chen White Bone Demon Light!
The blazing light engulfed the surroundings, solidifying a flying sword in mid-air.
"For the sake of cultivating this White Bone Primordial Spirit, I will inevitably be filled with evil... but before that, I must exterminate your Shushan Sword Sect!"
With a gentle point of her hand, a demon light shot out, as sharp as the flying sword.
"How dare you, you wretched girl?"
Within the Shushan Sword Sect, seated elder Jiang Taishi could no longer bear it and shouted angrily, flying out.
Cui Yingying’s face was all smiles, yet her attacks were extremely ruthless. She struck out with a demon light, transforming the Returning Elixir Old Monster entirely into a Ten Thousand Bone Demon, then cheerfully retracted her power and shouted, "Jiang Taishi... slay the Heartless Sword and Cui Yingxiu, bring me their heads, and perhaps I might spare your life!"
As soon as her words fell, she controlled the Yuan Chen White Bone Demon Light, enveloping Fu Yunzi, and disappeared from sight.
If it truly came to a frontal assault, provoking the Immortal Slaying Flying Sword into action, she doubted her chances.
But it didn’t matter.
She had endured under such circumstances before, and now she certainly wouldn’t be discouraged.
"Hehe... Little brother Fu Yunzi, this concubine Cui Yingying has met you."
Within the escaping light, Cui Yingying affectionately grabbed Fu Yunzi’s hand: "You have inherited your teacher’s legacy, so you are like a younger brother to me... This Shushan Sword Sect is shameless, to have forcefully taken you away. Once our divine powers are fully developed, we must make them pay."
Fu Yunzi stood dazedly, not understanding how he had suddenly become this female demon’s junior brother.
But he also knew that opposing her at this moment would definitely not end well, so he kept silent and even blushed somewhat.
Jiang Taishi landed by the lakeside, looking at the kneeling elders and Li Ningxiu, frowning, "Are the ancestors truly unwilling to make a move?"
The temper of the Immortal Slaying Flying Sword, even among the five Spiritual Treasures, was the greatest.
Li Ningxiu responded somewhat resentfully, "Perhaps the ancestors just don’t wish to leave the mountain gate..."
Jiang Taishi became agitated and yelled loudly, "Ancestors, ancestors... our Shushan Sword Sect has been bullied to such an extent, how can you not stir even a little!?"
