129: The true target of the demons

Xu Jing and Chu Qian walked over, very worried about Liu Xiyan.

"Be good, Master is fine, don't you both worry." Liu Xiyan reached out and rubbed Xu Jing and Chu Qian's heads, smiling gently.

Seeing this action, Chu Qian and Xu Jing couldn't help but freeze, their pupils widening, their faces full of disbelief.

Since when did their Master become so gentle?

Did the injury affect her brain...

Liu Xiyan seemed to guess what they were thinking and shook her head.

"I was Cultivated into a fool by my past training.

"Looking back now, I realize that becoming stronger does not require severing emotions, nor does it require having no desires.

"We are all humans, and it's quite good to just be a normal person."

"Uh—" Chu Qian was dumbfounded, not understanding for a moment what her Master meant.

"I, I understand..." Xu Jing nodded thoughtfully.

"What do you understand?" Liu Xiyan looked at her curiously.

"N-nothing..." Xu Jing quickly shook her head, staring at the ground, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Mo Fan—" Liu Xiyan suddenly looked at Mo Fan, glancing at Chu Qian from the corner of her eye.

Mo Fan naturally understood her meaning and said with a smile: "The complete version of the Sword Art originally belonged to the Sword Pavilion, so it is up to the Elder to decide."

After saying this, amidst Chu Qian's puzzled gaze, he pulled Xu Jing and walked out.

"Let's go outside and chat; the Elder and Senior Sister have something to discuss."

"Okay, okay..." Xu Jing followed Mo Fan, blushing.

Passing through the corridor, Mo Fan took Xu Jing out of the Sword Pavilion and arrived at the lawn on the Sword Drying Plaza.

"I have a box of pineapple cheese cakes here, do you want to eat some?"

"I, I'm sorry..." Xu Jing lowered her head.

Mo Fan naturally knew what she was talking about.

"It was my lack of consideration; you don't need to say sorry."

Mo Fan smiled and said: "Your Master is a very good person; giving the Sword Nurturing Art to her was the right thing to do."

At the same time, Mo Fan's expression tightened, sensing that Xu Jing had nurtured Sword Intent within her body.

It was only now that he suddenly realized.

With Xu Jing's personality, even if the world were destroyed.

Mo Fan had said not to tell anyone about the Sword Nurturing Art, so she wouldn't have told anyone.

Therefore, Mo Fan speculated that Liu Xiyan accidentally discovered that Xu Jing had condensed Sword Intent and guessed the truth.

It was a coincidence.

But fortunately, there was this coincidence.

Fortunately, Liu Xiyan discovered in time that Xu Jing had condensed Sword Intent.

If it had been any later.

The entire Yuxu Peak would have been finished.

Thinking of this, Mo Fan broke out in a cold sweat.

Of course, this was unavoidable.

At first, he was unfamiliar with Liu Xiyan, so naturally, he couldn't easily reveal the Peerless Secret Chapter-level Sword Nurturing Art.

That would be tantamount to handing his own fate into the hands of a stranger.

Later, after getting to know Liu Xiyan and knowing what kind of person she was.

Mo Fan only thought about waiting to verify that the complete version of the Sword Nurturing Art would not damage one's lifespan before telling her.

After all, he didn't know if what the Sword Pavilion Cultivated was the complete version of the Sword Nurturing Art.

Only after Xu Jing condensed Sword Intent could he make a judgment.

Counting the time, it was only a day or two away.

No one would have expected that at this critical moment, the Demon Race would go crazy and attack Yuxu Academy.

"Th-thank you..." Seeing that Mo Fan didn't blame her, Xu Jing breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on her face unconsciously.

But soon, she became worried again: "Can, can Senior Sister learn it?"

Mo Fan thought for a moment and said: "Although Senior Sister Chu Qian's Comprehension Ability is average, she has, after all, been practicing the Sword Nurturing Art for so many years.

"The complete version of the Sword Nurturing Art is actually not much different from the one mastered by the Sword Pavilion. As long as the mindset is adjusted, she will be able to learn it quickly."

"The, the complete version of the Sword Nurturing Art, it, it doesn't harm the body..." Xu Jing said.

"Yes, it doesn't harm the body." Mo Fan nodded.

"That's, that's great, Senior Sister doesn't have to—"

Mo Fan shook his head and said: "Not harming the body doesn't mean she will definitely be able to pass the Life and Death Ordeal.

"Although Sword Cultivators of the Sword Pavilion are invincible in the world, the price they pay is unimaginable to ordinary people..."

Xu Jing nodded and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Mo Fan couldn't help but say: "Of course, after Cultivating the complete Sword Nurturing Art, as long as one doesn't attempt the Life and Death Ordeal, one won't die, because the Sword Intent will no longer harm oneself."

"Senior Sister will, will attempt it..." Xu Jing shook her head.

"It's okay, there is still a chance. Looking at your state, the complete version of the Sword Nurturing Art seems to be able to enhance one's physical fitness, so the probability of passing the Life and Death Ordeal should be higher then.

"It will be the same for Senior Sister Chu Qian after she practices it."

"Yes, yes." Xu Jing's eyes lit up, and she was no longer so worried.

Seeing this, Mo Fan covered his forehead.

"Are, are you still going to attempt the Trial Tower?" Xu Jing looked at Mo Fan.

"Forget about today, let's go tomorrow."

Mo Fan concentrated, looking towards the Trial Tower.

After passing the Trial Tower and becoming a Core Disciple of Yuxu Academy, he would be qualified to enter the Secret Realm, which was the ancient ruins controlled by Yuxu Academy.

With the Appraisal Technique and his super Comprehension Ability, if he went to the ancient ruins, he might have a great harvest.

After today's experience, Mo Fan felt that he must grow up as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, any random natural or man-made disaster could take his life.

"No, I must grow to be invincible as soon as possible!

"When one is unlucky, even if you hide in the Sect and don't go out, you will still be invaded by the Demon Race. It's more reliable to have invincible strength yourself!"

Mo Fan figured it out.

For the sake of future safety.

He had to be a bit more diligent.

...

At the same time.

In the far north, a land frozen for ten thousand miles, nearly a million kilometers away from Jiang City.

Beneath the boundless expanse, there was an abyss with a diameter of a thousand miles, bottomless and shrouded in endless gloomy light.

Above the abyss, a humanoid creature standing ten zhang tall, wrapped in gloomy light, looked gloomily at the dim spear in its hand.

He was the Lord of the Demon Race, the first creature born at the bottom of the Demon Abyss.

At that time, the saint slaying spear was born right beside him.

He was uniquely gifted; not long after he was born, he used the Devilish Qi of the Demon Abyss to Cultivate into a Supreme creature.

Relying on his solid Cultivation and the saint slaying spear, he had ruled the Demon Race for nearly a thousand years and had never suffered a loss.

But now—

"The saint slaying spear has been damaged to such a state? Even if I use my Primordial Spirit Light, I cannot activate it?"

The Demon Race Lord's expression was gloomy to the extreme.

The plan that was originally foolproof had actually had such a reversal.

"Human Race Sword Immortal? Heh, exploding with Sword Immortal power in advance is nothing but a flash in the pan.

"Wait until I prepare for a while longer, and I will definitely break through the Human Race's defense line and personally destroy Yuxu Academy!"

Thinking of this, he seemed to perceive something, his face-sized eyes narrowed, and he looked up at the Void Realm, saying coldly:

"Since you've come, show yourself."

As the voice fell, the Void Realm twisted.

A huge figure with a snake's head and a human body slowly emerged.

"Demon Lord, you like to hide your head and show your tail as always."

The snake-headed, human-bodied Demon Lord smiled faintly and said slowly: "After all, this is the Demon Race's territory, so it is good to be careful."

"I am sincere in our cooperation, Demon Lord, you are overthinking."

To this, the Demon Lord shook his head: "This cooperation plan failed, and to help you Demon Race contain the Human Race, my Yao Race lost nearly thirty percent of our elite."

"A mere thirty percent of elites? Hmph, my number one general, three thousand extraordinary elites, three hundred Heaven's Mandate generals, and eight Returning to Origin generals have all gone and never returned."

Hearing this, the Demon Lord's expression changed slightly, and he slowly spat out three words: "Are you crazy?"

Taking a deep breath, the Demon Lord looked at the Demon Race Lord and asked seriously: "What exactly does Yuxu Academy have that is worth you making such a big fuss?"

They had been living in peace for one or two hundred years, the Yao Race had developed rapidly, and the Demon Lord didn't want the world to be in chaos.

Hearing this, the Demon Race Lord smiled coldly: "You should be able to guess, at your and my Realm, what else can affect our state of mind?"

Hearing this, the Demon Lord's expression changed. He seemed to have thought of something, his breathing became a bit rapid, and he said in disbelief:

"You, you mean the opportunity to Breakthrough to Supreme?"

"No, not an opportunity, but a sure certainty." The Demon Race Lord shook his head.

"Hmm?" The Demon Lord frowned.

"As long as we take down Yuxu Academy, both you and I can break through the Supreme shackles and see a brand new world." The Demon Race Lord smiled.

"This, this is impossible!" The Demon Lord couldn't believe it.

To this, the Demon Race Lord said unhurriedly: "Use your peerless Primordial Spirit Light to perceive it, specifically lock onto the direction of the Hidden Sword Peak of Yuxu Academy, and you will understand very soon.

"Although the aura is very weak, it is after all of the same origin as you and me, and with your strength, you should be able to perceive something."

Hearing this, the Demon Lord froze, hesitated for a moment, and then quickly concentrated to perceive.

As a race that had been hostile for thousands of years, the Demon Lord was naturally no stranger to Yuxu Academy, nor was he strange to the Hidden Sword Peak where the Sword Immortal was located.

Although they were separated by a million kilometers.

But with their Cultivation at this level.

As long as the target was clear enough.

They could naturally perceive something.

However, after perceiving for a moment, the Demon Lord couldn't help but shrink his pupils, his expression changing drastically.

"This, this, how is this possible?"

He suspected he was having hallucinations.

To this, the Demon Race Lord smiled brilliantly:

"How about it? Do you want to bet again, assemble the armies of our two races, force our way through the Human Race's defense line, and slaughter our way to Yuxu Academy?"

The Demon Lord closed his eyes, struggling internally, and after hesitating for a long time, finally said: "Cooperation is possible, but it must be planned carefully; we cannot fail again."

Hearing this, the Demon Race Lord smiled: "Naturally, this time we must be fully prepared; after all, those Supreme figures of the Human Race are not to be trifled with.

"One year, give me one year. As long as the Yao Race cooperates actively, we will definitely succeed."

The Demon Lord took a deep breath, looked at the gray sky, and finally nodded: "Okay."
