Chapter 132: Long Aotian's True Nature is Revealed! The Broken Jar and the Broken Sword (Part 2)

At this moment, Ice Emperor suddenly felt a twinge of regret.

His foster son seemed a bit off.

"Foster father?"

Just then, Tang Wu spoke up, urging him, "Why aren't you saying anything?"

"Please tell me, how can I..."

Ice Emperor was speechless. At this point, there was no other way, so he could only offer advice, saying, "Under these circumstances, if you want... a win-win situation, there's only one way."

"Remove yourself from the situation, and also remove Xiao Ling'er."

"The Ice Spirit Cold Fire wasn't released by you."

"There's no longer any scheme involved."

"Whether it's you and Xiaoshan, or Xiao Ling'er or other powerhouses, they all heard about the appearance of the Foreign Flame and went to fight for it. Xiaoshan died in the chaos of the battle."

"It was too chaotic at that time, and you didn't see clearly who Xiaoshan died at the hands of."

"When she was on the verge of death, you tried every means to save her, but to no avail. Before she passed away, she couldn't bear to part with you... She begged you to refine her into a Martial Soul so that you could be together forever."

"You agreed with tears of hatred, and then you refined her into a Martial Soul."

"You also swore that after you grew up, you would kill everyone present to avenge Xiaoshan."

"Then..."

Tang Wu felt that it made some sense, but he also felt it was inappropriate. He said, "Wouldn't it be better if I don't mention Xiao Ling'er? After all..."

"No!"

Ice Emperor sighed helplessly, "The news of Xiao Ling'er obtaining the Ice Spirit Cold Fire will gradually spread. Can you keep it a secret? You came to fight for the Ice Spirit Cold Fire, Xiao Ling'er ultimately succeeded, but you don't mention her name?"

"Wouldn't that make it seem like you have something to hide and are afraid to mention her?"

"Sigh~"

His foster father was scolding him.

"It's because I'm too young and my thoughts are too simple."

"I'll listen to Foster Father!"

"I'll return to the sect as soon as possible, rely on the sect's resources and conditions to recover, and then try to seize the position of Holy Son, and then we'll discuss the rest."

Tang Wu hurried on his way, his body still injured.

Ice Emperor once again doubted... the soul's nature.

His foster son seemed not only to have issues with his character but also with his intelligence. Thinking of this, he fell into a long silence.

He felt that he...

might not have a chance to be resurrected and return.

No matter how he thought about it, it seemed like a dead end.

...

Time rewound.

When Xiao Ling'er returned to the Imperial Capital in the Southwest, her whole body relaxed. Medicine Elder temporarily returned to her Sea of Consciousness to rest, and Xiao Ling'er breathed heavily, her body drenched in sweat.

Wang Teng had been waiting for her.

Seeing her return, he immediately went to her and revealed a look of surprise, "Master, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, just a bit exhausted. My foundation wasn't damaged, I just need to recover."

"This trip... wasn't a loss."

She took a deep breath and, supported by Wang Teng, slowly walked towards an inn.

Xiao Ling'er endured the pain and fatigue, and while she was struggling, she took out a Sound Transmission Jade Slip to report her safety to Lin Fan, Huo Yun'er, and Sword Son, among others.

Lin Fan and Huo Yun'er responded almost instantly.

But Sword Son was late in replying, which puzzled Xiao Ling'er, "Disciple, where did Sword Son go?"

"Why hasn't he replied yet? Surely he hasn't met with an accident, has he?"

"That's not possible."

Wang Teng's expression turned strange, "Master, this matter is a bit... complicated."

"Then, let's make it brief?" Xiao Ling'er was surprised.

"Cough."

"To put it simply, right now, Sword Son is not only Sword Son but also the Chaotic Ancient Heritage."

Xiao Ling'er stopped in her tracks, "(⊙o⊙)???"

"Moreover, he's not only the Ling Sword Sect's Sword Son and the Chaotic Ancient Heritage but also a disciple of the Moonseizing Sect..."

Xiao Ling'er was shocked, "Σ(⊙▽⊙“a?!?!?"

"What, what did you say?"

Xiao Ling'er was stunned.

Although it was absurd for Sword Son to become the Chaotic Ancient Heritage, it wasn't entirely unacceptable. After all, he had been on a losing streak, which strangely fit the description of the Chaotic Ancient Heritage.

But didn't he have a grudge against the Moonseizing Sect? Why did he become their disciple?

"It's like this."

After Wang Teng briefly explained, he said, "At that time, I was afraid that the Ling Sword Sect wouldn't accept him, so I said I was the Jade Unicorn Palace's Young Master... which is also the truth."

"But for some unknown reason, Jianzi didn't expose me, perhaps fearing that the Elder would intervene?"

"In any case, under confusing circumstances, the Lingjian Sect didn't want to owe the debt of the Imperial Scripture's heritage, so they had Jianzi become my disciple. With this master-disciple connection, it's only natural that the act of passing on the heritage wouldn't be an issue."

"But at the same time, Jianzi and our Moonseizing Sect have formed an inseparable bond."

"If we strictly follow the seniority rules, Jianzi is now the grandmaster sister's nephew-disciple."

"As for why he didn't reply to the grandmaster sister, it's probably because he's in seclusion, diligently cultivating and studying the Chaotic Ancient Heritage?"

Xiao Ling'er: "..."

This matter has caused quite a stir.

It's truly a strange twist of fate, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.

"It's a bit complicated."

"Will Jianzi not break down because of this? After all, it concerns his Sword Dao and Daoist Heart, and before, all he wanted was to defeat me and destroy the sect..."

"I've also thought about this problem."

Wang Teng scratched his head. "But, could there be another possibility?"

"What possibility?"

"It's possible, I mean, it's possible..."

"Could it be that my obedient disciple has already foreseen that he will never surpass his grand-uncle, so he's just giving up?"

"If he could defeat you, he would indeed have to consider how to deal with himself."

"But what if he can't win?"

Xiao Ling'er was taken aback, and then her eyes lit up.

"You're right, you might be onto something!"

At this moment, even Elder Yao couldn't help but exclaim, "Goodness!"

It seems to be the case.

Having arrived at the inn, Xiao Ling'er didn't say much more, "I need to heal my injuries."

"Okay, grandmaster sister, please go ahead and heal. I have nothing else to do, so I'll stay at the inn and keep an eye on things."

At this moment, Wang Teng truly felt relieved.

With no concerns, he felt light and free.

The Chaotic Ancient Heritage has been passed on to Jianzi, and I've gained such an obedient disciple. Hmm...

Jianzi of the Lingjian Sect, a Holy Son-level figure, is my disciple~

This status and prestige, it's truly elevated!

However, in the future, I must not slack off. If I become weaker than my disciple, it will be embarrassing if it gets out. I must put in the effort!

...

Moonseizing Sect.

Huo Yun'er had traveled far and wide and finally arrived.

As someone with a connection to the sect, no one stopped her, and she had a smooth journey.

Then...

She found the Great Elder and Second Elder giving lectures and imparting the way of artifact refinement.

From a distance, she saw the two elders each occupying a square, earnestly teaching and explaining, their saliva spraying as they spoke, leaving Huo Yun'er speechless.

The Great Elder, Jin Zhen, finished explaining a not-too-deep but very useful concept and smiled, "Do you all understand?"

"This disciple still has some doubts."

A Moonseizing Sect disciple raised their hand, "Regarding the fusion of materials with the same attribute, this disciple has mastered six to seven parts, but materials with different attributes may conflict. Just now, Great Elder, you said that... but..."

"This disciple is truly brave."

Huo Yun'er shook her head.

This question was actually quite good.

However, the Great Elder had just explained it clearly, covering all the details and pointing out the essence! If your artifact refinement talent is even slightly better, you shouldn't need to ask again, right?

No, even if your talent is lacking, as long as you write down these words and carefully ponder and recall them later, you shouldn't need to ask again.

The Great Elder has always been strict and hates these ungrateful disciples who only want the 'teacher' to feed them answers.

No, this disciple is going to get scolded.

However!

Under Huo Yun'er's watchful gaze, the Great Elder laughed, stroked his beard, and said, "That's a good question. This indeed has some difficulty. Come, let me explain it again."

"Never mind, I'll just explain it. You still don't have an accurate understanding, so watch closely. I'll demonstrate it once for you."

"Huh???"

Huo Yun'er was stunned.

No.

Is this Jin Zhen, the Great Elder?

Why is he different from my memory?! At this moment, a similar issue arose on the Second Elder's side.

Moreover, the question asked was even simpler, with no difficulty or technicality.

Huo Yun'er covered her forehead.

"With this level of comprehension, they wouldn't even be able to enter the Fire Virtue Sect, let alone become disciples?"

"The Second Elder values talent even more. This disciple will surely be scolded until they're drenched in dog's blood."

"..."

"Yes, that's a good question. It's one of the most common mistakes made by inexperienced newcomers like you. Come, watch closely as I..."

Huo Yun'er: "Ah?!"

(ΩДΩ)???

"Are these really the Great Elder and Second Elder?"

"In this situation, shouldn't they at least scold harshly and leave, or at worst, unleash their wrath and even bring in the outer sect elder responsible for recruitment to scold and possibly punish them?"

"How could they be so calm and even happily offer to do it again, or personally demonstrate it?"

"Something's wrong!"

"This is very wrong!"

"Moreover, the way the Moonseizing Sect disciples address them is also wrong."

"What Great Elder and Second Elder?"

"They are the elders of my Fire Virtue Sect, not yours!"

Most importantly, the two elders even happily agreed?!

She even suspected that these two might be some kind of demon.

They killed the Great Elder and Second Elder of their sect, skinned them, and wore their skin!

There seems to be such a demonic technique.

It's called...

'Skin Painting', right?

So, could it be that at some point, someone skinned and painted these two?! Otherwise, it doesn't make sense!

"Hiss!!!"

This thought made Huo Yun'er's heart skip a beat, and her breathing stopped.

Her face paled. "No, it can't be, right?"

"If that's truly the case, then wouldn't they..."

It wasn't that she was overthinking; it was just that what she witnessed was too absurd.

She was very familiar with the elders of her sect, and it was precisely because of this familiarity that she found it unbelievable and thought it was impossible.

But the result...?

It was at this moment.

Jin Zhen and Ma Canzhan both noticed Huo Yun'er observing from a distance, and their mouths twitched uncontrollably.

Damn it!!!

Their hearts trembled, and their breathing slowed down.

The two communicated through divine sense, both feeling anxious.

"Is the Sect Leader asking Yun'er to call us back?"

"This time... it's not going to be easy."

"If it were another elder, we could delay further, but Yun'er is naturally closer to the Sect Leader. Relatively speaking, the pills needed for her cultivation realm aren't something only Xiao Ling'er can provide."

"Yes, it's easy to handle other elders, cough, no, that's not right. It sounds like we want to kill our own elders, but on second thought, can we still use the previous reason?"

"Should... be able to, right? After all, the third elder hasn't broken through yet?"

The two, who had been rivals for most of their lives, now seemed like good brothers, without any sense of estrangement, as they racked their brains and strategized together.

However, no matter how they discussed it, they couldn't come up with any good ideas.

Time passed.

After a class, they sighed inwardly.

"Forget it, forget it."

"Whether it's a blessing or a disaster, there's no escaping disaster."

"Sticking your neck out or hiding it, you'll still get cut."

"Let's go, let's chat with Yun'er. What if... there's a chance?"

"But, um, we can't let her know we're staying for the pills."

"Nonsense, how can we let her know that?" Jin Zhen communicated through divine sense, "No, what are you saying? Are we that kind of people? Staying for the sake of pills?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? We're clearly here to cultivate, to break through to higher realms, and at the same time, to help our allies learn the art of forging!"

"I want to scold you," Ma Canzhan replied, "But I have to say, what you said makes sense. It's exactly like that."

"I, I'm definitely not staying for some pills!"

"..."

...

The members of the Moonseizing Sect had their joyful expressions fade.

This class was also very fruitful, and it was worth being happy about.

As they left, Jin Zhen and Ma Canzhan reunited and approached Huo Yun'er, who was cautious and quietly retreated.

The two elders: "???"

"Yun'er, what are you doing?"

"Why are you being so distant?"

Jin Zhen and the other elder were dumbfounded.

Even if we've been away for a long time, even if you know we're here for that reason, it shouldn't be like this, right? We're still elders of the Fire Virtue Sect; we're just temporarily away, and if the sect needs us, we'll go back!

This estrangement is really heartbreaking.

Huo Yun'er's expression changed repeatedly, and finally, she took a deep breath, "Who are you?!

"Why are you using the Demon Toadflax to impersonate our first and second elders?!"

Jin Zhen and Ma Canzhan: "(O_O)???"

They were even more confused.

"Our first and second elders definitely don't have such personalities. Who are you?!" Huo Yun'er pressed.

Boom!

The Dragon Bone Flame erupted, and she was ready to take action, even though she knew she was no match for these two demons.

"???"

Jin Zhen's body went numb, and he had no choice but to release his divine soul.

Seeing this, Ma Canzhan followed suit.

Now it was Huo Yun'er's turn to be dumbfounded.

"Are you really the first and second elders?"

"But why are you...???"

Teaching the so-called 'idiots' you mentioned, and they could teach with a smile and even praise? That's fine, but you two, who were originally like fire and water, would argue and mock each other, and now you're standing so close without any conflict?

"..."

"Cough."

Both of them felt embarrassed, knowing why Huo Yun'er was suspicious.

Jin Zhen coughed, "Yun'er, you're too naive. When we're outside, every word and action represents the Fire Virtue Sect. It's all about the sect's reputation!"

"Should we act so violently and start cursing? That's inappropriate!"

"Exactly, exactly!" Ma Canzhan also realized, "It's all about the sect's reputation! I'm naturally incompatible with this old man, but when we're outside, we have to show harmony."

"Otherwise, how would the Moonseizing Sect view our Fire Virtue Sect?"

"Inside the sect, we don't have to hold back, but when we're outside, we have to endure. For example, even though I still want to curse this old man, who can tell?"

"On the surface, we still need to be amicable."

"..."

Is that so?

It seemed to make sense.

"Now I understand."

Huo Yun'er let out a sigh of relief.

She was almost scared to death!

Jin Zhen and Ma Canzhan also breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, the three of them stared at each other.

"Right, Yun'er, why are you here?"

"I came to play with my best friend." She coughed, "I'll be returning in a few days."

She's not here to urge us to go back?

That's good!

"Yes, yes, yes, we'll also be returning in a few days, yes, waiting for the third elder's breakthrough."

A few days, that's great~

This 'few' days has a great significance~!
