Looking in the direction where Xiao Wuqing disappeared, Nie Tian slowly regained his composure after a long time.
The Scythe of the Wronged Ghost was too strange, especially the black skull that appeared. It was extremely terrifying and could actually release a spiritual attack.
Fortunately, Nie Tian thought that his mind was tough. Otherwise, his consciousness would have collapsed.
The Scythe of the Wronged Ghost was definitely not Xiao Wuqing's original spirit. It seemed that the scythe itself had a consciousness and a powerful soul resided in it.
This was very similar to the remnant soul in Yue Jin's bloodline power, the Blood Jade Demonic Lotus.
Nie Tian encountered two things that he could not understand in one day. One could imagine the shock in his heart.
"Nie Tian, are you alright?" At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the void and a figure appeared.
"It's you!" When Nie Tian saw the face, he was slightly stunned. It turned out to be Laozu Xuan Ye from the Xuan family. He did not expect the latter to appear here.
"I'm looking for the Saintess of the Heavenly Demon Cult." Xuan Ye saw that although Nie Tian's face was pale, he was not injured. He felt relieved and directly stated his purpose.
Nie Tian smiled bitterly. If Xuan Ye had come earlier, he would not have had to fight to the death with Xiao Wuqing.
The two figures landed in the Jade Mansion. Yue Jin was still unconscious in Yu Jiao's arms and had not woken up.
When Xuan Ye confirmed that Yue Jin was alright, he relaxed a lot.
"Nie Tian, I have something to tell you." Xuan Ye did not beat around the bush and directly said to Nie Tian.
"Mmm." Nie Tian nodded slightly and went to a remote courtyard in the Jade Mansion with Xuan Ye.
"Mister Xuan, if you have something to say, please say it." Nie Tian did not beat around the bush and directly said.
"Nie Tian, you have already seen the Saintess of the Heavenly Demon Cult." Xuan Ye looked at Nie Tian with a somewhat grim expression as he said, "She and another disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect will participate in the Wind and Cloud Duel with you this time. I want you to ensure her safety and make sure she obtains the legacy."
"Hmm?" Nie Tian narrowed his eyes and could not help but feel a little puzzled.
The Dark Moon Empire and the Heavenly Demon Cult were enemies, so why would Xuan Ye help the Heavenly Demon Cult's Holy Maiden?
Moreover, Xuan Ye seemed to be very concerned about Yue Jin's safety.
'Could Xuan Ye have reached some sort of agreement with the Heavenly Demon Cult?' Nie Tian guessed. He then glanced at Xuan Ye and asked, "What about His Highness Xuan Qiu?"
Xuan Ye had asked Nie Tian to protect Yue Jin and help her obtain the inheritance. These things were supposed to happen to Xuan Qiu. Now that Yue Jin had appeared, what should Xuan Qiu do?
If Xuan Ye asked Nie Tian to protect Yue Jin and Xuan Qiu at the same time, then it would be asking too much.
"Xuan Qiu, you don't have to worry about it." Xuan Ye paused for a moment before giving Nie Tian an unexpected answer.
Nie Tian's eyes flickered as he looked at Xuan Ye in confusion.
Xuan Qiu was a direct descendant of Xuan Ye, while Yue Jin was a member of the Yue family. Why would Xuan Ye give up on Xuan Qiu for Yue Jin?
"Mister Xuan, you are a smart person. There are some things I shouldn't have said." Nie Tian thought for a moment, then said, "But as a collaborator, I still have to advise you not to trust the promises of your enemies. I've heard a little about the matter between the Xuan and Yue families, and it's definitely not something that can be resolved with some small benefits. "
Nie Tian guessed that Xuan Ye had already paid a visit to the Heavenly Demon Cult Master, and the two of them had most likely reached some sort of agreement.
Xuan Ye would ensure that Yue Jin entered the Wind and Cloud Arts and successfully obtained the inheritance, while the Heavenly Demon Cult would give up something.
However, the Yue family had been exterminated by the Xuan family back then, so there was no way they wouldn't take revenge.
If Xuan Ye thought that the Heavenly Demon Cult Master would give up on revenge by giving them some benefits, then he was too naive.
However, given Xuan Ye's shrewdness, he would not believe such nonsense.
That was why Nie Tian was very curious as to what kind of agreement Xuan Ye and Yue Rushuang had reached.
Of course, Nie Tian knew that the Black Moon imperial family and the Heavenly Demon Cult were not good people.
However, Mo Beiming of the Heavenly Demon Cult had opened a place like the Blood Death Ground, so Nie Tian did not have a good impression of the Heavenly Demon Cult. If the two sides went to war, Nie Tian was inclined to stand on the side of the Black Moon Empire.
"I know," Xuan Ye said solemnly. Xuan Ye said in a deep voice. The seriousness on his face deepened, and he seemed to have aged several decades in an instant.
"Hmm?" In that instant, Nie Tian felt Xuan Ye's primordial spirit tremble strangely, as if it had become extremely unstable. He frowned, and his expression changed slightly as if he had understood something.
Nie Tian's consciousness swept over Xuan Ye's body and found that the latter's primordial spirit was unstable, and his blood qi was weakening. This was a sign that his lifespan was approaching its end!
Xuan Ye's days were numbered!
After confirming this, Nie Tian's expression suddenly changed. This was something he had not expected.
Xuan Ye's age should be around 500 to 600 years old. With his Seventh Level Heaven Human strength, his maximum lifespan should be between 800 to 100 years old.
However, the so-called maximum lifespan referred to the time when a martial artist's martial body did not suffer any damage.
But any martial artist's martial body would more or less be damaged. Because any martial artist with some strength would have experienced countless battles in their lifetime, even life and death battles.
Generally speaking, those who could live to a natural time were all alchemists and blacksmiths. Because these people basically did not know how to fight, but their strength would usually not be too high.
Martial artists who cultivated both alchemy and martial arts were after all not many.
Xuan Ye living to 500 to 600 years old was pretty much the limit of his lifespan.
"You can tell." Xuan Ye saw Nie Tian's reaction and guessed that the latter already knew, so he did not hide it anymore. He smiled calmly and said, "The path of a martial artist is to defy the heavens. Ordinary people are at most 100 years old. I can live to 600 years old, so I already have no regrets in this life. "
Seeing that Xuan Ye was so open-minded, Nie Tian smiled faintly.
At this moment, Xuan Ye sighed and said, "It's just that there are some things that I have to resolve before I die. If I don't resolve them, the Black Moon Empire will face a disaster. "
Nie Tian nodded solemnly. Of course, he understood what Xuan Ye meant.
The disaster he was referring to was the Heavenly Demon Cult.
Yue Rushuang and the Black Moon Empire had an irreconcilable feud. The reason why the Heavenly Demon Cult did not dare to make a move for so many years was because they were afraid of Xuan Ye. If Xuan Ye died, the Heavenly Demon Cult would definitely start a war with the Black Moon Empire.
At that time, even if Yue Rushuang did not make a move, her two deputies and four kings would be able to destroy the Black Moon Empire in an instant.
At this moment, Nie Tian finally understood why Xuan Ye had let Nie Tian live even though he knew that he had framed Xuan Xiao. It was probably for this moment.
He seemed to want to use Nie Tian to do something.
"Nie Tian, I want to make a deal with you!" At this moment, Xuan Ye suddenly became serious, and a sharp look appeared in his aged eyes.
"A deal?" Nie Tian was slightly taken aback, and his expression became cautious. He did not want to take advantage of others, and he did not want to become a tool for others to use.
Xuan Ye glanced at Nie Tian and suddenly took out a map, placing it in front of Nie Tian.
