"Naturally not," the old man said, "Lao Fu is also not advising you to daydream. If you have a wish, you should put it into action. Whether you succeed or not, as long as you have done your utmost, you can be considered worthy of yourself. As for the affairs of the world, they are not something you can fully grasp. Some things you can't do, isn't that also a beautiful thing? At least in this world, there are still some novelties waiting for you to explore. I have already said that all things are within reach, there won't be any sense of novelty. "
Li Yijie said, "What if you have to do it, and you can't do it even if you exhaust all your manpower? If the enemy you have to deal with is a demon, there is a difference between humans and demons. Don't you have to obtain a power that matches his in order to deal with him? If you don't kill him, he will kill even more people, and bring the world into darkness. Don't tell me all these things don't matter? "
The old man still had the air of a transcendent being. He said, "In this world, there is nothing you can't do. Life and death, rise and fall, it is all fate. Even if you can eliminate demons and exterminate demons now, what about a hundred years later? When your bones have turned into ashes, this world will still give birth to a new generation of evil forces. People say that eliminating evil must be done, but they don't know that this saying is absurd. It is different from cutting the weeds and eliminating the roots, at least you can find the 'roots'. But in this world, there is good, there is evil, there is right, there is evil. Just like light and dark, they complement and depend on each other. Therefore, as long as there are people, there is bound to be evil, and it can never be completely extinguished. You can save the common people for a while, but how can you protect them from evil people forever? The best way is to leave everything to fate, don't do anything. "
Li Yijie resolutely said, "No, being powerless is one thing, but not doing what you should do is another. I can't control the world forever, but at least within the scope of my power, I must do my best for the common people. Perhaps because I am in an important position, I see this as a responsibility that I must abide by. On the other hand, I sincerely hope that the world will be peaceful. 'Do your best, leave it to fate', I hate this sentence the most. Only those who have given up on themselves will use this as an excuse to resign themselves to fate. Their own fate should be in their own hands, not the so-called illusory Heaven's Way. The people by my side, the people I can help, I must do my best to protect them, to let them live a happy and worry-free life. Even if my strength is just a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood. This is my life's dream and pursuit.
The old man's gaze never left Li Yijie's body, but the meaning in his eyes had already changed. He sighed and said, "Not bad, you are different from those young people who were greedy for vanity. You have a pair of bright and spirited eyes, just like me when I was young. My eyes flickered with stubbornness like yours, hiding a fearlessness and a challenge to the world … It's a pity that after experiencing too much, your eyes were covered with dust and dull. With your conviction, there's nothing you can't do. When I look at you, it's like I'm seeing my life continue. ..........................
He nodded his head with admiration in his eyes. Then, his expression turned solemn as he said, "I've observed your cultivation. Your inner strength has formed a protective layer around your body. Even if a hidden weapon gets close to your body, it will automatically block it. You are in your best condition. You only think of me as an old man, so you won't be on guard against me. Therefore, this protective layer will follow you like a shadow. Hmm … your internal energy is very abundant. It is as if it can be replenished at any time. It is endless. This skill is really extraordinary. Among the younger generation in Jianghu, you should be one of the best. Don't blame this old man for talking too much. I am very curious. What kind of person can force you to be helpless? "
Li Yijie was shocked when he heard this. The depth of one's internal energy could only be known after fighting. He did not have any killing intent on the outside, but the old man was able to accurately sense his cultivation. Then, how deep was the other party's attainment? If he had harbored evil intentions, eight or ten times would be enough to kill him.
Suddenly, he thought of something and said, "Senior's skill is very high. I am afraid you are an immortal senior living in seclusion in the mountains. I wonder if you can come down to the mortal world and work with me to kill this monster? " Then, he remembered the old man's question. He smiled bitterly and replied, "I told you, he is a demon."
The old man was shocked. His calm and collected expression finally changed a little as he said, "Wh … What? Impossible! I have been guarding this place for many years. None of the young people who entered the cave came out alive! Moreover, in the past one or two years, not many people dared to come here. How could a new demon appear? Could it be … that there is another entrance in the cave that I don't know about? "He repeatedly muttered the word 'impossible'.
Li Yijie said, "Please don't be impatient. He did not change his blood to become a demon. Instead, he used the most extreme method. He used the world's most poisonous poison to destroy his physical body. Then, he was tempered by heavenly fire to forge a new body. Two months ago, the Mauna Loa Volcano erupted once … "
The old man was even more shocked. "There … there is such a thing? This method, other than the deity who fell into the demonic path, no one else dared to try it. To have the courage to jump into the lava is already very rare and commendable! Moreover, he had to destroy his physical body first. If he did not do it well, his soul would be destroyed and he would not have the chance to reincarnate … "
Perhaps to Jiang Liechen, if he could not become a demon, he would not want to reincarnate as an ordinary person. After all, the Seven Demons Manual was already destroyed. No matter how hard he tried, he would not be able to reach his current level of cultivation.
Li Yijie sighed and said, "At that time, he did not use any sacrificial offerings. It is said that it has a great impact on the formation. However, his current strength has reached the level where he can cause blood to flow with a wave of his hand … "The old man was shocked." He did not use any sacrificial offerings to condense his resentment, but he could still leave his soul behind? What kind of obsession is this … "He was shocked to the extreme. Then, he calmed down and said," It seems that there are still many things in the world that I have not dipped into. Looking at it this way, I am just a frog at the bottom of a well. "
Li Yijie thought, "It seems that the existence of sacrificial offerings has a lot to do with it." If the seven of them had really become sacrificial offerings, even if he wanted to destroy the heaven and earth, it would be as easy as lifting a finger. A layer of cold sweat seeped out of his back. The affairs of the world were indeed strange. It seemed to be predestined, but it could still cause great changes. The old man muttered and sighed, "If this kind of person could walk on the right path, I wonder what kind of unprecedented miracle he would achieve …"
Li Yijie frowned and said, "It is a pity that he does not walk on the right path. What can we do?" He could not help but make another request. "Sir, you seem to be partial to martial arts. I think you would like to exchange pointers with him. Could you please go down the mountain and get rid of this big trouble? "
The old man was awakened from his trance. He shook his head and said, "No. First, I have already sworn that I will never take a step down the mountain. Second, according to your description, I may not be his opponent. Sure enough, there is always a sky beyond a sky, and a person beyond a person … But, what is his name? When this old man has nothing to do, he likes to talk about the names of the experts in Jianghu. It is a pity that I have been lonely for many years. Not many people are willing to talk to me about anything. "
Li Yijie was greatly disappointed. When he answered again, he did not have the same enthusiasm as before. He said gloomily, "He calls himself one of the Seven Evil Spirits. He is about the same age as me, but he has already done many evil deeds. He is now the number one figure in Jianghu. "
The old man softly said, "The Seven Evil Spirits … the Seven Evil Spirits … Ay, I am indeed old. I have never even heard of the number one figure in Jianghu."
Seeing Li Yijie's hopeful expression, the old man waved his hand and said, "You don't need to have too much hope. The most this old man can do is to not obstruct you. I will not go back on my oath and go down the mountain to help you. Ay, regarding whether you can become a demon or not, I simply do not know whether I should hope that you succeed or fail. But no matter what, I am afraid that only death awaits you. Even if you can really kill the Seven Evil Spirits, the world will not thank you for saving their lives. You don't have any resentment? "
Li Yijie did not hesitate. He said word by word, "I have no resentment or regret." After thinking for a while, he added, "Death is not scary. What is scary is living a life of mediocrity and doing nothing. The only one I truly can't let go of is my Junior Sister, who is also the woman I love the most in this life. I've let her down … In order not to hinder her happiness, before I left, I had already erased all of her memories of me, so that she could live without any worries. Frankly speaking, from the moment I made this decision to the moment I am standing here, I have never thought that I would live to see her again. When it comes to the resolution of certain death, I am afraid that no one can understand it better than me. Or perhaps, I believe in the 'power of the heart'. With my willpower, I may not necessarily be unable to resist the demonic corrosion. If I can obtain strength without losing my divine sense … then this can be considered wishful thinking. But as long as there is a ten percent chance, I will have to give it my all. Otherwise, there is not even the slightest chance. "
The old man forced a smile and said, "Alright, your mind is firm. I can't persuade you. I wish you good fortune. This old man cannot say anything that goes against his heart. "As he said this, he moved his feet to the side. Li Yijie said, "Thank you very much, Old Sir." He did not exchange any more pleasantries with him. Between two people who treated each other with sincerity, there was no need for excessive formalities.
The old man's back was facing him. As he approached the cave entrance, he suddenly said, "That's right. Being acquainted with each other is also fate. Young Hero, can you tell this old man your name? " Without waiting for him to open his mouth, the old man continued, "It is not easy for you to have this kind of breadth of mind and this kind of responsibility. In the Wulin world, your status must be one of the best. Tell me your status as well. Is that okay? "
Li Yijie said, "This … junior Li Yijie is indebted to everybody's favor. I have been the Wulin World's Meng Zhu for eight years …" He was so ashamed that his face turned deep red. After all, even though he was somewhat proud of his' Wulin World 'status, he had never boasted in front of his seniors. The old man sighed and said, "Wulin World's Meng Zhu, hmm, Wulin World's Meng Zhu … I really did not misjudge you. Many years ago, I was also like you, a young swordsman whose fame spread far and wide. I also wholeheartedly helped the people. I was also the Wulin World's Meng Zhu … but now, everything is in the past, in the past. "
Li Yijie had heard that he was also the Wulin World's Meng Zhu. That being said, he was a kindred spirit. Surprised, he said, "Dare I ask Senior …" He was just about to ask for his name when the old man waved his hand behind him. Obviously he was not going to talk to him anymore.

Xuan Shuang looked out the door, still in a daze. He turned his head and glanced at Nangong Xue, then looked at the teacup by her hand. He clenched his fist and knocked it on the table. He said angrily, "Why do you have to make things difficult for me? What do you want me to do? Humph, it's the same in the Imperial Palace. You always throw me into a dilemma … I'm the one who's asking for trouble. Why would I be soft-hearted and agree to help him? " He almost wanted to turn around and leave. He didn't know if it was because this was no small matter, or because he wanted to watch the show, but he couldn't bear to leave. He couldn't help but secretly scold himself for asking for trouble.
Nangong Xue's body was protected by internal energy. Although she had fainted because of the external attack, she still had a strong will in her heart. This mental energy was not to be underestimated. It could actually affect the spontaneous reaction of her body.
According to Li Yijie's original estimate, that attack should have knocked her out for six to eight hours. However, because of this unexpected change, Nangong Xue gradually regained consciousness after only two hours. The moment she opened her eyes, she blurted out, "Martial Brother!" This was a subconscious reaction. As soon as she heard this, she recalled Li Yijie's heartlessness.
