Who was this old man …?
After returning from the Illusory Battlefield, Luo Zheng's strength had increased, but he could clearly feel that his surroundings had changed.
It was as if he had been completely kept in the dark.
Xun's expression said it all. She seemed to have expected this, but she didn't say anything.
The old man circled around Chen Huangyi's corpse and strolled through the air.
One couldn't sense a strong aura from him, but this old man's temperament was very special, as if he had a very special affinity.
After slowly walking in front of Bi Feiyu, the old man gently stretched out his hand, and the broken sword fell into his hand. "Catch it …"
With that, he tossed the broken sword to Luo Zheng.
"How do I catch it?" Luo Zheng endured the pain and raised his hands. His hands had already turned into a pair of skeletal hands. Luo Zheng's current endurance was astonishing. If it had been someone else, they would have already fainted from the pain.
Luo Zheng had even endured the torture of the chaotic energy. This bit of pain wasn't enough to make him lose his composure.
"Buzz."
As Luo Zheng's voice fell, the broken sword hung in the air.
The old man sized up Luo Zheng's hands and sighed slightly. "From the beginning, you should have thought of a way to come to my Demi-Immortal Clan. Running around by yourself and causing so much trouble, you're too good at causing trouble."
The old man sighed. In this universe, there was no Divine Sea Realm martial artist who could attract dozens of Celestial Venerables at the same time.
Luo Zheng ascending to the Human Alliance wasn't a big problem, but running around was a big problem. He had completely become an uncontrollable factor, making it difficult for the Demi-Immortal Clan to make arrangements.
Before the Illusory Battlefield opened, Luo Zheng should have made a trip to the Demi-Immortal Clan, but in the end, he didn't go.
This caused some problems with the Demi-Immortal Clan's arrangements. And the Demi-Immortal Clan's Luo Xi Xuan, who had been eliminated by Hua Tianming, was also eliminated by Hua Tianming because of Luo Zheng.
"Young?" Luo Zheng said with a faint smile. He had already guessed who this old man was. Back when Luo Zheng had been trapped in the Immortal mansion, someone had sent word to him that he should pay a visit to the Demi-Immortal Clan. The original message had been about the former Clan Chief of the Demi-Immortal Clan, one of the most powerful figures in the universe.
The old man stared at Luo Zheng, then nodded. "You're the last of the younger generation …"
"What do you mean?" Luo Zheng stared blankly.
The old man smiled faintly. "You will know in the future. Let me take a look at your hand."
Luo Zheng raised his hands and presented them in front of the old man.
The old man's gaze fell on Luo Zheng's skeletal hands. "Your bones can actually resist the corrosion of the Grand Clarity Water. How surprising. However, your flesh has been corroded. I'm afraid it'll be a bit troublesome. Even if you regrow the flesh on your hands, I'm afraid it won't be as good as before. But I'll think of something. For now … that's all."
With that, the old man reached out and flicked his fingers. Waves of blue light spread out from his hand.
The blue light was a ball of viscous green liquid. It seemed to have a life of its own. It flowed through Luo Zheng's skeletal hands, spreading along his five fingers and transforming into two pairs of hands. At first glance, it looked like Luo Zheng was wearing a pair of gloves.
As the green liquid flowed, blood-red threads appeared within it and connected to Luo Zheng's bones.
Not long after, Luo Zheng's hands, which had lost all feeling except for the pain coming from the wound, started to feel numb and itchy. Very soon, he regained feeling in his hands ….
Luo Zheng squeezed his hands. The green liquid was translucent, so he could still see his bones. It could temporarily replace his hands. However, the green hands were too conspicuous and felt very strange.
After helping Luo Zheng to treat his wounds, the old man reached out and pointed his finger. The broken sword flew back to Luo Zheng's hand.
This time, Luo Zheng grasped the broken sword and asked, "What on earth is this used for?"
The old man replied faintly, "This sword is a key thing left by Chen Huang Yijian. You keep it safe. Now I'll take you out."
Luo Zheng nodded. He had a lot of questions, but now was not the time to ask questions. At least, he had to deal with Bi Feiyu first.
"How should we deal with this guy?"
Luo Zheng and Bi Feiyu exchanged glances. Luo Zheng's eyes flashed with a sharp light. If the old man hadn't appeared, Luo Zheng could almost imagine what would have happened to him. He and Xun might have died here.
The old man glanced at Bi Feiyu indifferently, "He's just a clown. Let him stay here." After saying that, he unlocked the hexagonal seal on Xun. With a light stroke of his finger, a space crack appeared out of thin air in front of them.
Xun's complexion was very bad. Although it couldn't be seen from the Sword Spirit's body, Luo Zheng could feel Xun's exhaustion.
After being defeated many times, the Sword Spirit would also disintegrate, not to mention Xun's soul.
At this moment, Xun didn't want to say anything. She just greeted the old man and turned into a red light, entering Luo Zheng's body.
Seeing that the old man was about to enter the space crack, Luo Zheng pointed to Chen Huangyi's corpse behind him, "How should we deal with this?"
The old man glanced at it, "It's just Old Chen's skin. He should have foreseen this day. Since he didn't say anything, let's just let him sit there …"
Luo Zheng didn't think much of this sentence, but Bi Feiyu's face suddenly turned pale. According to the old man's words, the Old Heightslord had foreseen what he would do.
Watching Luo Zheng and the old man leave, Bi Feiyu still couldn't move.
Bi Feiyu didn't regain his freedom until the Hidden Thousand-Feet Spider closed the bronze door again.
But he couldn't break the bronze door to come in, and now it was even more impossible for him to go out. Looking at the Old Heightslord's corpse, the fear in his eyes became more and more intense. He suddenly felt his hair stand on end. In a trance, he seemed to see the corpse move and slowly get up …
After taking a few steps through the space crack, Luo Zheng saw the old man open another space crack and come to the gate of the Killing Sword Mountain.
At the gate of the bronze door, the Elder of the Sword-Holding Hall and Mu Mingxue were waiting outside.
When Luo Zheng saw Mu Mingxue, he finally felt relieved. Although Luo Zheng deduced that Bi Feiyu was lying, Mu Mingxue was still in a dangerous situation.
"Young Master, did you succeed?" Mu Mingxue saw Luo Zheng and quickly asked.
A helpless smile appeared on Luo Zheng's face as he shook his head.
At the same time, he asked the old man in confusion, "Chen Huangyi told me that the Killing Sword Mountain could help me hone my Sword Essence and step into the Emotion-Severing Divine Dao. Why didn't I gain anything in the Killing Sword Mountain?"
Honing his Sword Essence was Luo Zheng's first goal in coming to the Sword Manor, but now he got a broken sword of unknown use. This was too different from what Luo Zheng had expected.
"Emotion-Severing Divine Dao, hehe, Chen Huangyi is indeed a genius. He has already taught you the method," the old man said with a smile.
"What method?" Luo Zheng was confused again.
The old man pointed at Luo Zheng, "Evil Qi. Didn't you feel any changes after the evil Qi filled your body?"
Luo Zheng thought for a moment, "Yes, but can this evil Qi help me step into the Emotion-Severing Divine Dao?"
Just now, the countless red spiders all turned into evil Qi and poured into Luo Zheng's body. Luo Zheng didn't know that this was the last part of the Sword-fighting Technique. Using evil Qi to change one's mind, it would make one more impulsive and more decisive. Only then would one have an indomitable momentum.
The old man nodded, "When you can freely suppress these evil Qi, and even use these evil Qi, you can officially step into the Emotion-Severing Divine Dao. Slowly comprehend it. For you, this is still a small matter."
"Suppress these evil Qi?"
Luo Zheng frowned. He really didn't have a way to control the evil Qi. How could he completely suppress them?
"Don't make a fuss. There are originally many Cultivation Methods in this universe that use evil Qi as the core. When you reach that step, you will naturally understand." The old man said with a matter-of-fact expression.
It seems that I can only figure it out myself, Luo Zheng thought.
