All of this could only be answered when Hwa Seung-zan woke up!
"Where do you plan on going next?" Gu Yanying asked.
"I'll help the Golden Cicada Spirit King ascend first and destroy the Soaring Locust King along the way. Afterwards, I'll go to the Ink sea. Oh right, I might even have to pay a visit to the Sword Collection palace and eliminate them once and for all. After that, I'll have to find a way to ascend."
Li Qingshan rubbed his chin and considered the path ahead.
"Must you go to the Ink sea?" Gu Yanying asked.
"Why do you ask?" Li Qingshan asked.
"It's just like what you said on Great Buddha Mountain. Uncle isn't a bad person."
Gu Yanying sighed. She had stayed in the Green province for many years. The Dragon King Of The Sea was proud and aloof, but he had always treated her well. If Li Qingshan went to the Ink sea, there would definitely be a battle to the death. No matter what the outcome was, it was not something she wanted to see.
"I know! But I haven't been spared because of this. "
Li Qingshan shook his head with a smile. He really did not have much ill will towards the Dragon King Of The Sea. However, ever since he killed Mo Yu and was killed by the dragon king, there was no turning back. They had to fight.
"Perhaps you can do it another way? As long as you don't go to the Ink sea, uncle can't do anything to you at all. "Gu Yanying gazed at the rolling sea of flowers.
"Haha, the dragon king won't be happy to hear that." Li Qingshan laughed.
"What if I use the one you owe me in exchange?" Gu Yanying turned around and looked at him seriously.
"Forget it! You're not that kind of person. "
"Yeah, I've always been a selfish person. I really can't do such a thing. Just pretend I didn't say anything just now. Don't forget that you owe me one. Prepare to climb a mountain of swords and dive into a pot of oil!"
Gu Yanying looked away. How stubborn!
"No problem!" Li Qingshan smiled.
Not long after, Qian Rongzhi arrived at the Listening Wind Pavilion and respectfully bowed to Gu Yanying. "Master."
Gu Yanying explained and asked, "Can you do it?"
Qian Rongzhi said, "We can give it a try. I can't guarantee anything. "
Li Qingshan vaguely felt that she seemed to have changed, but he couldn't tell what had changed, so he didn't bother to look into it. "If you can succeed, I will repay you."
The three of them arrived at the waterside pavilion. Qian Rongzhi's right hand hovered above Hwa Seung-zan's Dantian. A beautiful little snake slithered out from her sleeve. Hissing and hissing, the snake slithered its head into Hwa Seung-zan's body.
Hwa Seung-zan furrowed his brows, and a pained expression appeared on his face. However, the pain brought by this poisonous snake was obviously easier to bear than the hot wind.
Li Qingshan gently tapped the hilt of his sword with his index finger and waited to one side. Since he had nothing to do, he sent his soul into the sword again. The Soul Switching sword also possessed the sword intent legacies left behind by past swordmasters. Although the sword style hidden within had originated from the Sword Scripture of Heaven and Earth, and it was not as complete as his derivation, it still possessed its own ingenuity. It was compatible with the Soul Switching sword intent.
The ten famed swords of the Sword Collection palace all had their own wondrous uses. The Soul Switching sword was no exception. As long as the sword was pointed at the enemy, it could twist the enemy's soul, separating it from their body. The effects would vary according to the enemy's strength, but in an intense battle, the slightest delay would be the difference between life and death. Perhaps this was the difference between life and death. It was indeed a sharp weapon!
"I wonder what the demon seed looks like?"
Li Qingshan used the spirit turtle to derive it. His soul entered the sword in an attempt to find the demon seed hidden within.
As time passed, the structure of the Soul Switching sword gradually became clear. The inscriptions engraved within were analysed and separated. He was not a master of artifact forging, but he also gained a rough understanding of how it worked.
At the same time, Qian Rongzhi's poisonous snake had also entered Hwa Seung-zan's sword embryo. She suddenly said, "Found it!"
A demon seed was buried in the very depths of the sword embryo. It had taken root and sprouted. The demonic nature it gave off constantly influenced Hwa Seung-zan's mind, feasting on his various demonic thoughts and rapidly growing.
Gu Yanying asked, "Can you eradicate it?"
"I'll do my best." Qian Rongzhi controlled the poisonous snake and swallowed the demon seed in a single gulp.
At this moment, Li Qingshan parted the layers of mist and discovered the demon seed in the Soul Switching sword. He thought, As expected! No wonder!
Gu Yanying's guess was correct. It was no wonder he failed to discover the demon seed in the Soaring Dragon sword in the past.
It was just like how no one would be so bored as to take apart the electrical appliances at home and inspect every single component. They only needed to read the manual and know how to use it. The structure of an arcane treasure was much more complicated than an electrical appliance. Just learning how to use it was extremely difficult. If it were not for the spirit turtle's powerful ability to derive, he probably would have struggled to discover the existence of the demon seed even if he was skilled in the way of artifact forging.
He frowned slightly. The demon seed was not particularly powerful, but the demonic nature it contained was extremely pure. The demon seeds condensed by demonfolk in the Demon domain when they were first born definitely could not reach a level like this. Even Demon Kings were nothing more than this. Just who was behind this scheme?
At this moment, the demon seed trembled and suddenly erupted. The twisted, vicious demonic thoughts surged and immediately filled Li Qingshan's mind, accompanied by a strange laughter filled with malice.
"Who are you?" Li Qingshan shivered inside. The Soul Switching sword clearly did not have a sword soul.
"I am your master." That voice declared, still laughing nonstop.
"Bullshit!" Li Qingshan barked.
"How dare you ruin master's plans! Do you know there's a price to pay?"
"So it's all your doing! Don't let me see you again!"
"You don't believe me? I'll prove it to you. "
Before he had even finished speaking, the Soul Switching sword thrummed. The crescent mark on the hilt began to revolve, shining with rings of clear light.
Li Qingshan suddenly felt himself being pushed backwards, floating up. Lowering his head, he saw another "him" drawing the Soul Switching sword and swinging it at Hwa Seung-zan on the sickbed.
"Qingshan!?" Gu Yanying said. This had happened far too suddenly, and Li Qingshan had struck out extremely swiftly as well. She was unable to save him in time.
"Spirit Turtle Suppresses the Seas!"
Li Qingshan bellowed out and suppressed the clear light from the Soul Switching sword. He immediately regained control over his body, and the sword stopped above Hwa Seung-zan's head, still thrumming. He said to Gu Yanying, "Looks like the swords of the Sword Collection palace aren't just about the demon seed!"
The unconscious Hwa Seung-zan suddenly sat up. With a strange, twisted smile on his face, he collided with the sword.
Li Qingshan casually sheathed the sword and pressed down on Hwa Seung-zan's head. "Suppress!"
"You … will regret this …" With that, Hwa Seung-zan collapsed back onto the bed. His face was pale, enveloped by a faint layer of demon qi.
Qian Rongzhi took a step back and lowered her head. "The demon seed in his sword embryo has erupted. It's already contaminated his soul. There's nothing I can do."
"What was that just then?" Gu Yanying asked.
"I don't know. It's a pity that my Demon Suppression Statuary has become the Demon War Statuary." Li Qingshan frowned. Although the Spirit Turtle's Method of Sea Suppression could suppress demonic nature, that was only internal. Externally, it would suppress everything. Even if it could save Hwa Seung-zan, his personality would change drastically.
