Remould the Glory of Sword Art

Chichi!

The sword energy light fire suspended above gradually dissipated.

Xie Xuanyi received this answer, and the killing intent in his eyes diminished quite a bit.

"If you want cooperation, you must first show sincerity."

Xie Xuanyi waved his sleeve, dispelling most of the Sword Qi.

The entire ancient temple, which was ablaze with light, dimmed, and the tense atmosphere also subsided.

"I have shown enough sincerity."

Cheng Er said in a deep voice, frowning, "What more do you want?"

She dared to enter the temple alone, leaving Xuan Jin as her trump card outside.

Now.

She admitted personally that Xuan Jin was imprisoned by her, which was equivalent to erasing one of her trump cards.

"Actually, you’ve known from the start."

Xie Xuanyi sneered, "Whether I kill you or not has nothing to do with the people outside. I don’t care what measures you’ve taken."

"..."

Cheng Er’s face turned ugly.

Yes.

She knew Xie Xuanyi too well.

Over the years, the Paperman Sect had tried innumerable divinations against Xie Xuanyi, spending countless efforts.

This is a guy who cannot be judged by common sense.

If true peace were desired, why come to this Lushui Cave Heaven?

"I want to see Xuan Jin."

Xie Xuanyi went straight to the point.

"That’s impossible!"

Cheng Er refused outrightly without hesitation.

She and Xuan Jin stole the Path of Destruction creation from Xie Xuanyi in the Ancient Tree Cave Heaven...

Once Xuan Jin appears, who knows what Xie Xuanyi might do?

Given Xie Xuanyi’s personality, he might directly strike, kill Xuan Jin, and return those "Path of Destruction Intent" to chaos!

"There’s nothing impossible in this world."

Xie Xuanyi said calmly, "Since you’ve prepared yourself to die, why be so tense? Xuan Jin should not be hiding within you, should he... A Treasure Artifact Cultivator from the Refining Furnace with a spacious cave heaven at her disposal seems quite reasonable..."

"You..."

Cheng Er’s face suddenly turned pale.

Damn it.

Xie Xuanyi’s Heart Lake Sensing was way too precise!

This guy must have practiced Buddhist telepathy!

She took a step back, placing her hand on the temple door.

A substantial amount of Paper Snow flew out from her green sleeves.

At this point.

It’s already safe to say... The negotiation has broken down, and there’s no need to continue.

Cheng Er was ready for the worst.

If Xie Xuanyi makes a move.

She would have no choice but to respond.

The current main task for the Paperman Sect’s Venerable Wu Gou is to guard the Petal World within the River of Destiny, becoming anchor points for Lord Daoist to guide the way; even in emergencies, they can be summoned, but only for the duration of half an incense stick time. Cheng Er wasn’t quite sure if this half incense stick time would be enough for her to escape this sinister temple.

"I advise you to abandon those thoughts."

Xie Xuanyi smiled gently, "You want to call out those Venerable Wu Gou from the River of Destiny? If I hadn’t undergone Harmonization, perhaps you all might have some chance, but now... these scrap metals should honestly stay hidden in the Petal World. I can guarantee, the moment they show their faces, they’d instantly have their Life Soul shattered."

With just one line.

The ancient temple was silent.

Ao Ying’s expression was complicated; although she didn’t quite understand "Petal World"... she did feel the fierce killing intent from Xie Xuanyi.

She had witnessed Xie Xuanyi’s power in the ruins.

She hadn’t seen the Paperman Sect’s Venerable Wu Gou.

If these guys are all Treasure Artifact transformations, then hopefully their heads are as tough as a Primordial Saint’s fists.

"..."

Cheng Er fell into a prolonged silence.

She couldn’t help but contemplate divination results but after thinking it over, suppressed the impulse.

The results are not difficult to guess.

Why waste lifespan?

Among the Venerable Wu Gou, the one best at fighting is Jing San, but in the Petal World confrontation, Xie Xuanyi hadn’t even advanced yet, and Jing San was already no match.

Ultimately.

Cheng Er gritted her teeth, dispersing the Paper Snow from her sleeves.

"I can let ’Xuan Jin’ out."

She stared at Xie Xuanyi, making some concessions, but didn’t forget to bargain: "But you ought to give me some assurance, right?"

"Don’t delude yourself."

"This isn’t a transaction, nor are we equals."

"I won’t make any soul oaths."

Xie Xuanyi frowned slightly, speaking impatiently: "When you acted in the Ancient Tree Cave Heaven, you should’ve foreseen the conclusion; sooner or later, you’d be reckoned with."

As he spoke.

The ghostly flame flickering above the temple reignited.

Cheng Er was both furious and helpless.

She originally intended to negotiate properly with Xie Xuanyi, to see if they could temporarily "turn foes into friends," at least to unite against a common enemy and overcome the calamity of Heavenly Phoenix Palace.

But now...

She had absolutely no initiative.

With a bang.

The woman in the green robe fiercely flicked her sleeve, opening the Forehead Cave Heaven, causing a large black coffin to fall from the void, landing heavily on the temple’s ground.

"Such strong Taoist Intent aura!"

Ao Ying stared at the large coffin, her Heart Lake felt intense unease.

In the void, the paper snow that had previously flown around was instantly washed away by the dark Taoist Intent...

With chains formed from the Path of Destruction Intent surrounding the large coffin, like flood dragons, seemingly possessing Spiritual Essence. This is the fully accomplished "Annihilation Dao Realm," even Xie Xuanyi felt moved... Xuan Jin had really refined quite a bit after taking away those Path of Destruction Intent from the Ancient Tree Cave Heaven.

This Annihilation Dao Realm is just one step away from condensing into the Great Dao!

"Xuan Jin is in the coffin."

Cheng Er gritted her teeth: "This past year, Heavenly Phoenix Palace couldn’t find him because I hid his flesh body here... You could say I imprisoned him, but this coffin he willingly asked to enter."

"Heh."

Xie Xuanyi raised an eyebrow, looking at the woman in front with interest.

He indeed found it strange.

Cheng Er’s cultivation realm is average; though she is the highest-grade treasure among the Paperman Sect’s Venerable Wu Gou, her talents mainly focus on soul power deduction after reincarnation. To imprison "Xuan Jin," Cheng Er’s strength is far from sufficient, leaving only "deception" as the remaining method.

This coffin in front of him looked quite similar to what he saw in the Red Pearl Cicada Country.

"Divine Travel?"

Xie Xuanyi suddenly asked.

"Indeed."

Cheng Er sighed: "After that battle at Li Lan Mountain, both Xuan Jin and I were injured... I told him, hiding in this coffin would allow him to refine the Great Dao and also immerse in ’Divine Travel’."

In a sense, it wasn’t really a lie.

Lu Yuzhen is the world’s most skilled Great Practitioner in the Divine Travel magic.

What happened afterward is easily guessed.

The inexperienced Xuan Jin did not suspect at all, directly entering the black coffin.

Heavenly Phoenix Palace completely lost track of Xuan Jin.

And Cheng Er also subsequently hid all traces of herself.
