Jade Dynasty: I am the master of the Burning Sword, my swordsmanship is unparalleled.

Chapter 95 Baili Tusu is a kind of inheritance

As the cold poison was continuously drawn out of its body, the six-tailed demon fox gradually felt the warmth of life, and for a moment, it was overwhelmed with emotion, its eyes filled with tears.

Furthermore, the blood energy emanating from the Blood-Devouring Bead continuously surged into its body, and the Six-Tailed Demon Fox could clearly feel that its originally weak white fox true body was gradually becoming stronger.

"This……"

The six-tailed fox stared at its own paws in shock, feeling as if it were a dream. It even scratched its face with its paws. After realizing that it was all real, it trembled with excitement.

After so many years of suffering from the cold poison invading his body day and night, he finally felt warmth again.

The three-tailed fox demon looked at the gradually increasing life force within the six-tailed fox demon's body, and couldn't help but show an excited and happy expression on its face.

The next moment, the three-tailed fox looked longingly at the giant white fox in front of it, then turned around with satisfaction and knelt down in front of Zhang Xiaofan.

"Thank you, Daoist Master, for saving my elder brother. I, a humble fox, know my sins are grave and wish to die..."

"Don't make any noise!"

Before the three-tailed fox could finish speaking, Zhang Xiaofan interrupted her with a cold shout.

After a moment of stunned silence, the three-tailed fox demon quickly looked up at Zhang Xiaofan, only to see that the latter was currently activating two magical treasures to heal the six-tailed fox demon. He did not utter a sound, but instead respectfully bowed to Zhang Xiaofan once more.

The six-tailed demon fox lying on the stone platform was initially startled by the actions of the three-tailed demon fox, but then breathed a sigh of relief when it realized that Zhang Xiaofan had spared the three-tailed demon fox's life.

The underground cave was very quiet, except for the occasional bubbles rising from the magma and bursting with a sound.

After a long while, Zhang Xiaofan raised his hand and summoned back the Ink Snow Sword and the Azure Heaven.

After sheathing the Ink Snow Sword on his back, Zhang Xiaofan breathed a sigh of relief; saving people was quite tiring.

The six-tailed demon fox, now fully recovered, leaped lightly to Zhang Xiaofan's side, standing alongside the three-tailed demon fox. They both knelt before Zhang Xiaofan and spoke in a deep voice.

"Thank you so much, Daoist Master, for saving my life. I have no way to repay you. I wish to serve you for the rest of my life and be at your service. But there is one thing I would like to ask you to grant."

"You mean save your mother?"

Zhang Xiaofan gently twirled the Azure Heaven and Yellow Springs in his hand, flicked his sleeve, put his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice.

The six-tailed fox nodded emphatically upon hearing this, replying very seriously.

"Yes, in the future, I will definitely go to Burning Incense Valley to rescue my mother. If she survives, I will serve under the Daoist Master."

"Regarding your fox clan's affairs, once I have investigated the truth, I will certainly give you justice. If the fault does not lie with your fox clan, I will personally go to Burning Incense Valley to seek justice for your fox clan!"

Zhang Xiaofan's expression turned serious, and he spoke in a deep voice. The six-tailed demon fox was stunned for a moment, then knelt down deeply again, showing not only gratitude but also a sense of reverence.

"Master, you are kind and benevolent. I, the little fox, would never dare to deceive you!"

The Six-Tailed Demon Fox had met many righteous people, some of whom were quite upright but still valued the distinction between humans and demons. However, someone like Zhang Xiaofan was a first for her.

The six-tailed demon fox was unaware that the Taoist priest before him was once a monster rejected by the world. It was the Taoist priest's master who gave him the right to live as a living being.

This event had an immense impact on Zhang Xiaofan. Whether human, demon, or even ghost, as long as it possesses a spirit and has not committed any heinous acts, it has the right to live—a right that no one can take away!
"I am Zhang Xiaofan, a disciple of Tian Buyi, the head of Dazhu Peak of Qingyun Sect. Now that you have become my disciple, you must have a name. May I ask if you have a name?"

As if recalling the image of the sword immortal in blue robes in his mind, Zhang Xiaofan unconsciously imitated the way he spoke when he first met his mentor.

The Taoist still remembered that his master had specially given him a name, which was to slay ghosts and awaken human souls. This name was Baili Tusu!

Now, it is his turn to name others. Perhaps this is a kind of inheritance. Even if there is no more Ziyin Zhenren in this world, no one will know Baili Tusu.

But he is here, Zhang Xiaofan is still alive, and Baili Tusu is still alive. This is not just a name, but a legacy, a belief. He is still alive, and this belief should be passed down.

Recalling the past, Zhang Xiaofan couldn't help but show a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, while the six-tailed demon fox respectfully knelt down and replied softly.

"Little Fox, please bestow a name upon me, Taoist Master!"

"Now that you have become a six-tailed being, you shall take the surname Lu. As for your given name, my master once taught me that the sea of ​​Dao is boundless, and only diligence can serve as your boat. So you shall be called Wuya (meaning 'boundless'). I hope that you will comprehend the Dao and its principles in the future, and not let power blind you."

Zhang Xiaofan sighed softly and then looked at the three-tailed fox demon.

Seeing Zhang Xiaofan's gaze fall on the three-tailed fox demon, or rather, the six-tailed fox demon—no, Lu Wuyai's heart tightened. He wanted to plead for mercy, but dared not offend or contradict Zhang Xiaofan, so he could only anxiously wait there.

Compared to Lu Wuyai, the three-tailed fox demon was much calmer. She had already fulfilled her greatest wish in this life, and she was willing to accept any punishment that came her way.

Looking at the three-tailed fox kneeling on the ground as if undergoing trial, Zhang Xiaofan's eyes glazed over for a moment, and he sighed softly.

“You shall be called Zhihua. There’s no need to kneel. Get up.”

"Thank you for bestowing this name upon me, Daoist Master!"

Upon hearing this, the three-tailed fox demon was overjoyed and quickly responded. As it spoke, both white foxes stood up, and two beams of light shone, transforming into two human figures that appeared on the spot.

The three-tailed fox spirit Lu Zhihua was already incomparably charming, with a foxy air about her between her brows, but the six-tailed demon fox Lu Wuyai, who was clearly a man, was also exceptionally beautiful.

“Lu Zhihua, although you have not committed murder, you intended to harm others. If you are not punished, it would be unfair and would violate the rules of my Qingyun Sect.”

Zhang Xiaofan suddenly spoke, causing Lu Wuyai and Lu Zhihua to tense up and look at him with apprehension.

"Here's what we'll do: once we're out, you should personally seal this Black Stone Cave to prevent the monsters inside from escaping and harming the townspeople."

"Yes, I will heed your teachings, Master, and I will certainly reform myself!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhihua was overjoyed and her admiration for Zhang Xiaofan grew even stronger. This was a true master who had attained enlightenment, far superior to those hypocritical individuals.

"Let's go."

Zhang Xiaofan sighed softly, then transformed into a sword light and disappeared directly into the underground cave.

Lu Wuyai and Lu Zhihua were immediately shocked upon seeing this; such superb skills were truly unparalleled in the world.
