Above the source of Tao

Yun Chang'an put away the Yujiang sword, gently placed it behind his back, and walked in front of Mantis.

Seeing Yun Chang'an coming to him, he knew he could not escape and thus accepted his fate.

"Boy, if you want to kill me, I will do it to you. I also know that you will not let me go, so you..."

Yun Changan interrupted it and said, "Yu Jiangjian told me that if I spare your life, I will not kill you."

"Why?"

Mantis couldn't believe that the young man in front of him would let him go. He had to know that he was now under his rules and controlled, unable to move. He only needed him to think about it and he would die here. But he didn't understand why he would let him go.

No matter how hard it tried, it could not have imagined that the young man in front of it clearly had the ability to kill him, but still said such words. It did not understand and could not comprehend it.

"Yu Jiangjian told me that you have been with him here for tens of thousands of years and have never greedily consumed a trace of evil air. You can be considered a reasonable Yuan Beast. He has also seen the people of your clan who have transformed into monsters, and he has also seen your ancestors shed blood for the sake of the billions of lives left behind. Therefore, he will not have any murderous thoughts towards you. Just leave now, and don't have any more murderous thoughts in the future."

Yun Changan's calm explanation shocked it greatly. In its mind, it was born and raised in this uninhabited place. It had no education, no etiquette, no morality, and all its actions were driven by instinct. It had never come into contact with other cultivators, and had never even peeked into this world. In this tiny place, its range of activities was only a hundred miles. It was narrow-minded and believed that those who were weaker than it would die in its hands, and those who were stronger than it would be killed. It had no fear for its own life.

"Why? Is it just because I don't crave that evil spirit? Just because of this, you're going to let me go!"

The mantis shook its head vigorously. It couldn't understand why its heart, which had long been accustomed to indifferent to life, was actually wavering.

"That's right. Just for this reason, you have been spared. If you had consumed even a trace of evil energy during these tens of thousands of years, he would not have let you go. Senior Yu Jiang couldn't bear to see the Mantis Clan's last hope disappear like this, so out of kindness, he spared your life. So leave now."

Mantis' eyes were still filled with shock. There were such strange rules in this world.

It naturally couldn't understand such a truth with its vision, and murmured, "But where can I go? In this place with a radius of a hundred miles, I can't escape for my whole life. It's better to die here to avoid wasting years."

Yun Changan shouted Mantis's name, feeling extremely sad about his thoughts. "Mantis, as a real man, how can you talk about death! A real man, born between heaven and earth, how can you seek death or life!"

Mantis unconsciously took a few steps back, his eyes dazed, as if he was affected by Yun Changan's words.

At this time, the rules here had already weakened, and Yujiangjian could no longer maintain the rules he had imposed.

Yun Chang'an ignored his shock and raised the Yujiang Sword behind him again, waving it towards the void. The rules of this space disappeared instantly.

Their figures once again came to the top of the mountain. Just like before, the top of the mountain was still covered with heavy snow, and gusts of cold wind were blowing there.

Then, the Yujiang sword in his hand could no longer bear it, and the pain brought by the crack broke in his hand!

A remnant soul with the appearance of a fish appeared in front of Yun Chang'an. This was the sword soul of Yujiang Sword, a sword soul that did not look weird but was well-mannered. The temperament he exuded was so great that if he was not a sword soul, Yun Chang'an would have thought he was a scholar. Like his master, he was also dressed in green and floated in front of him.

Senior Yu Jiangjian had a haggard and sickly face, like a patient who was about to die, but his bright eyes were deeply imprinted in his eyes. He did not become delicate and gentle just because he was about to leave. He looked as if he had already prepared to die, which moved Yun Changan.

"The stone fish tree you need is deep in the snowfield. If you want to take it, just take it. It will be a token of my appreciation."

Yu Jiangjian pointed out the direction for Yun Chang'an. They communicated with each other and knew why Yun Chang'an came to this place.

"My Sin Sword is going to follow the Master, Yun boy, we will never meet again."

"Senior! Have a safe journey! I hope you can meet the Lord again!"

After a helpless sigh, Yu Jiangjian could no longer remain in this world. As the cold wind blew from the distant snowfield, the figure disappeared into the air, ending his life which was not too dazzling.

After waiting for hundreds of thousands of years, he still hasn't found a way to suppress the evil on the sword. He doesn't dare to die, for fear that the evil in his body will pollute this world. He is also waiting for someone who can resist the evil in his heart to free him.

Now that I have finally waited for it and seen the barely noticeable evil on his body, it feels like hundreds of thousands of years of waiting have been worth it.

The fire in Yun Chang'an in the distance was still burning the evil things on Yu Jiangjian's body.

That evil thing was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Yun Chang'an came to the ball of fire energy and increased the energy in his hand. He waited for a long time, and when he could no longer sense any evil energy, he withdrew his gaze. The fire energy suspended in the air also followed the ball of evil and dies in this void.

"Why are you still here? Why haven't you left yet?"

Yun Chang'an turned around and saw that Mantis was still standing in the original position, without moving a step, but the shock in his eyes had disappeared, replaced by extreme confusion.

After hearing Yun Changan's question, he came back to his senses and said, "I... I don't know where to go."

Yun Chang'an ignored him and walked towards the open space in the snowy field.

Seeing that Yun Chang'an ignored him and stood up and walked away, it became a little anxious and didn't know what to do. So it made up its mind and followed Yun Chang'an, not too close or too far away, just a few feet away from him, without taking a single step beyond him.

Yun Chang'an walked and stopped, and Mantis also followed him, walking and stopping. Wherever Yun Chang'an walked, it followed.

At this time, Xiao Xuan said, "You little brat, there's a follower behind you. It seems that you are really charming and can make it follow you willingly."

"Nonsense, did I tell it to follow me?"

Yun Chang'an had already noticed that Mantis had been following him closely, staying ten feet away from him, neither stepping in nor leaving.

So Yun Chang'an turned around and called it to his side.
