Chapter Fifteen: The Exterminating Immortal Sword

  Tianyue drew his sword, and under the blue mang's reflection, the entire underground palace was instantly enveloped in a chill killing aura.

  "What a beautiful woman! To die by her sword is to be a romantic ghost!"

  Lu Xueqi's pale face, his heart was extremely conflicted, could she really bring herself to slash down with her sword? Tian Zhu's humming sound stopped just an inch away from Zhang Yu Fan's neck, the chilling sword energy still made him feel a coldness that ran from his spine to his feet.

  "Have you decided to let me off?" Zhang Yufan asked.

  Lu Xueqi's eyebrows relaxed a bit, as if after putting down that sword, her mood also cleared up, and she said: "Do I have a reason to kill you?"

  Zhang Yufan was overjoyed and didn't hide it, saying: "I'm a person who advances inch by inch!"

  Lu Xueqi gave him a glance, her beautiful eyes filled with even more doubt, wondering if this person was crazy, still talking nonsense with a sword at his throat.

  "You're really beautiful!" Zhang Yufan said suddenly.

  Lu Xueqi was taken aback and thought to herself that this person was indeed crazy. She immediately turned around and walked towards the center of the main hall.

  Zhang Yu Fan really got an inch, loudly said: "Just now that sword if you really chopped down, you would not be Lu Xue Qi, so-called righteous way is just a demon head of indiscriminate killing. I am not in the demonic cult, but people in the demonic cult are not all bad, right? The wrong person is the one who leads them, and ordinary followers at this age only seek a warm and full life. For example, an ordinary villager wants to join Qingyun, will Qingyun accept him? Isn't Zhang Xiao Fan a good example?"

  Lu Xueqi suddenly stopped in her tracks, the Tianyue Blue Crystal flashing on her back before quickly dimming again, as she struggled internally once more.

  "Xue Qi, I've finished speaking!" Zhang Yu Fan suddenly became like an old lady and stopped talking, leaving the grand hall somewhat chilly.

  Lu Xueqi's body shook slightly, and she said coldly: "What did you just call me?"

  "From now on, I'll call you Xue Qi!" Zhang Yu Fan didn't know where he got the courage from. Normally, when he saw a girl, he would walk around her, and some people called it "opposite sex phobia syndrome".

  Lu Xueqi's pale face fluctuated, as if Zhang Yufan's words had taken effect. Wasn't it just a name and a title? Did Fan De deserve to be met with angry swords for this trivial matter? If he really killed this person over such a minor issue, wouldn't he be no different from those demonic cultists?

  Zhang Yu Fan was overjoyed when he saw that she didn't get angry and quickly caught up with her.

  Lu Xueqi asked again: "Are all the things you said true?" Her tone of speech had obviously softened.

  Lu Xueqi no longer wielded her sword to slash him, and Zhang Yufan's heart was filled with joy beyond measure. He hastily said: "It's true, you don't have to worry about Xiao Fan anymore, he's fine. If my guess is correct, he should be at that small shop not far from Xiaochi Town, drunk as a skunk. If you can hurry back in time, he will definitely go to the Wangyue Tower to look for you. Really, he has you in his heart!"

  Zhang Yufan's words were incredibly convincing, but the more realistic they sounded, the less Lu Xueqi dared to believe them. Cold! That was just her surface, on the contrary, she was so passionate and infatuated with this worldly life, that was the real her. The dullness of the past few days had been alleviated a lot because of his arrival, and all he heard him say faintly was: "How can I believe you?"

  Yes, how can she believe me? Zhang Yu Fan asked himself in his heart, suddenly he thought of Zeng Shu Shu: "I know you don't believe me and I have no way to explain it to you, but what I said is true. You can choose not to believe it. He's not doing well now because the great witch doctor from Nanjiang who could have saved Bi Yao was seriously injured and died at the last minute, everything they did before was in vain. He has been indulging in alcohol every day!"

  Lu Xueqi's body trembled slightly upon hearing this, apparently believing Zhang Yufan's words, and exclaimed: "Although he is drunk and unconscious, he always ends up safe!"

  Zhang Yufan was still afraid that she wouldn't believe him, so he added: "Zeng Shushu can prove that what I'm saying is true. If there's even half a lie, I'd be willing to be chopped into several pieces!"

  Unconsciously, the two of them had already arrived at the foot of the Heavenly Emperor's throne. The faintly smiling statue in this temple seemed extremely sacred, and the king's aura made them respectfully bow three times.

  "It's unexpected that there is a heavenly temple in the midst of these ten thousand great mountains, and it's so magnificent!"

  Lu Xueqi didn't speak, perhaps in her heart she wanted to say a word to Zhang Yufan, but a hint of unease would arise, and the light in her eyes flashed by. Her attention was completely focused on the giant sword in Tian Di's hand, which seemed neither stone nor iron, and she couldn't help but feel that she had seen it somewhere before.

  "Exterminating Immortal Ancient Sword!" Zhang Yufan's attention was completely focused on Lu Xueqi, after all, it was uncertain whether there would be another opportunity like this today. Therefore, every move she made was closely observed by him. However, when he saw the giant sword in Tian Di's hand, he couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise as soon as he realized that it wasn't just an enlarged version of the Exterminating Immortal Ancient Sword that Qing Yun took pride in.

  Lu Xueqi had never seen the Qingyun Town's treasure, yet it was mentioned by this person. Who is he? Her mind was in a state of turmoil. Why did the Xian Jian appear in this underground palace? Is there any connection between the Tongtian Peak's Huan Yue Cave and this underground palace? Where did the Xian Jian come from? Did Qingye Zushi create it with his own power or did he obtain some kind of mysterious treasure?

  Zhang Yu Fan couldn't help but walk up, his height was not even as high as the knee of the Heavenly Emperor, and the giant sword inserted on the throne was also two zhang high, with a material exactly the same as the Exterminating Sword mentioned in "Exterminating Immortals", the dense sword aura made people feel that this small body was as fragile as an ant.

  "How did you know about the Exterminating Sword?" Lu Xueqi suddenly turned cold, with a hint of murderous intent in her eyes.

  Zhang Yu's heart suddenly turned cold, and he hastily explained: "Don't think that I've been to your Tongtian Peak's Huan Yue Cave, I know more than just these things. Let me tell you some of them so you can see that I'm not the kind of person you imagine. During the Qi Mai Conference, it was actually you who lost, but because of Shuiyue Master's face, you didn't reveal the truth. And Zhang Xiaofan, who sought death with all his heart, didn't say anything at all!"

  Lu Xueqi was shocked. This matter had only been told to herself, and yet this person seemed to be able to see through her heart, saying exactly what she had thought that day.

  Zhang Yu Fan continued: "Feng Xiang Gu is searching for the formation diagram of the Eight Trigrams Mysterious Fire Array, summoning the eight fire dragons from all directions. Secretly trading with the Beast King is also a covetous desire for the world. The Four Spirits Blood Formation of the Gui Wang Sect can release the Shura Demon as long as it gathers four ancient spiritual beasts, destroying heaven and earth is equally sinister. The most pitiful one is the Beast King, he was originally an immortal body, but because of that fleeting love affair with Ling Ling Wu Shen, he became furious at all living things, such slaughter of innocent lives is really not what he should do!"

  He said that Lu Xueqi's face was as pale as frost, but still slightly changed again. All the major factions had already spoken out against him. If he really said he was a spy, then whose spy would he be?

  Zhang Yu Fan fell silent for a moment before speaking again: "I don't even know my own origins, perhaps I shouldn't be in this world just like the Beast King. If you still don't believe me, then let's talk about you instead. You're not only cultivating the Qing Yun Dao Fa, are you? The third volume of the Heavenly Book has indeed been beneficial to your cultivation, but there are too many disconnected parts that can't be integrated, so it's just a minor improvement in your dao heart, and nothing else is revealed!"

  What else can Lu Xueqi say? He knows the most private things, what else is unknown to him in this world?

  There are many strange things happening today, especially in front of Lu Xueqi. Zhang Yufan seems to want to say everything he knows: "Also, about the Heavenly Book, actually, what's right and wrong, you're all practicing from a book, haha, it's laughable, originally the righteous and evil were one family. The Gui Wang Sect has the second volume of the Heavenly Book, later Bi Yao and Xiao Fan found the second volume in the Blood Cave, while the third volume is on your body and Xiao Fan's, the fourth volume is in the Tianyin Temple, and the fifth volume is what you're currently practicing, Qingyun, and the remnants are in the Zhuxian Ancient Sword!"

  Lu Xueqi suddenly fell silent, and the countless threads of fate were actually a fixed number after all. She stared at the person in front of her in shock, wondering if he was really not from this world. Maybe he wasn't, but why did he have the same face as Xiao Fan? Was it born or created by the vicissitudes of life?

  "After saying all this, Xue Qi, I just don't want you to live in such pain. Back then on the Moon Watching Platform, you inexplicably took me for Xiao Fan. At that time, I still thought it was a dream, but after meeting Zhou Yi Xian later, I realized I couldn't go back. Truly integrating into this world, being alone and wandering in this world with this face given by my parents, encountering everyone again and again, makes me feel no longer a stranger!"

  "It seems that there is another poor soul in this world!" Lu Xueqi glanced at him and then turned her head to gaze at the statue of Tian Di, muttering to herself.

  Everything that needs to be said has been said, Zhang Yufan let out a long sigh of relief, his gaze also fell on the face of the Heavenly Emperor's statue, he really looked up to Lu Xueqi as if there was an answer to all this on the solemn face of the statue.
