Mysterious mirror hanging high

"So, what is your purpose for showing up this time, my dark side?" Guan Lingxiao asked.

The Blood Sword Youth suddenly became furious: "I just want to ask you, do you still remember your mission? What have you been doing all these years? Have you avenged your parents yet?"

Guan Lingxiao's expression changed slightly, and he whispered, "Lingxiao cultivates his magic power and tempers his sword energy every day, not daring to slack off even for a moment. How can he even talk about letting go of his parents' blood feud?"

"Then why is your cultivation progressing so slowly?" The Blood Sword Youth shouted coldly, "You're only at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul now!"

What are you talking about! Guan Lingxiao shook his head and laughed.

He is not even four hundred years old yet he has already reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. This speed of cultivation is unprecedented in the entire Xianzhou world. This is the first time he has heard others blame him for his slow progress.

"Hmph, haven't you noticed that my cultivation has already reached the late Nascent Soul stage?"

A huge spiritual pressure emanated from the blood sword boy.

Guan Lingxiao shook his head and said, "Under 400 years old, you are in the late Nascent Soul stage. Even a celestial being banished from heaven might not be able to do that. I think you must have cultivated some kind of man-eating evil magic to achieve your current level of cultivation."

"To avenge my great hatred, I will use any means necessary!" the young man with the blood sword laughed.

Guan Lingxiao's expression was calm. "Hatred can be used as nourishment for ascending to the Immortal Path, but it cannot be used to control you. You have already entered the Demonic Path."

"So what if it's the devil's way!"

"You are only focused on improving your cultivation, but hatred has blinded your eyes... I see you slaughtering people in such a bloody massacre, I wonder how many sects you have offended."

"The path to becoming a god in the Immortal Continent is controlled by many Heavenly Lords in the present world. Even if you are ahead of me in cultivation level right now, how will you consider becoming a god in the future?"

Guan Lingxiao said: "It seems to be a glorious time, but it is just a last gasp."

These words seemed to strike a chord with the Blood Sword Youth, whose face contorted. "Yes, I've killed too many people, becoming a public enemy. My path to enlightenment is doomed... Hehe, in this world, Guan Lingxiao has a smooth path to success. You've made tremendous contributions to the righteous path of Penglai. In the future, the Righteous Heavenly Monarch will surely protect you and help you achieve divine enlightenment."

"Why don't you hand this body over to me... Use my [Kingdom of Slaughter], and even if Qiu Dongxuan is nearly immortal, I will kill him for you to see!"

"I don't need anyone else to kill Qiu Dongxuan. I will avenge him myself." Guan Lingxiao said coldly.

"You can't get revenge." The Blood Sword Youth gritted his teeth and said, "The gap between your cultivation level and Qiu Dongxuan's is too great. If you always try to stick to the bottom line, how can you possibly come out on top?"

"Well, if you don't want to give up your body, then I will show you a way out."

The young man with the blood sword floated in front of Guan Lingxiao and whispered beside him, "Your master, Taoist Xuanjing, holds a great secret. It's very likely that he has forged the legendary [Flawless Golden Pill]... He must have inherited the highest power from the upper realm."

"kill!"

"Kill the master and destroy the ancestors, and take away their opportunity! To forge the path to heaven!"

Guan Lingxiao rolled his eyes: "Your mind is broken, right?"

Master has a big secret, which I naturally know. After all, before I formed the elixir, I got a method of forming the [Flawless Golden Elixir] from Master. This thing is not an opportunity that can be obtained in the lower realm.

But my master has been so kind to me, how could I do such a thing to betray him and my ancestors?

However, the words of the inner demon made Guan Lingxiao a little dazed. Perhaps it was the inner demon at work. Even though he scoffed at the suggestion in his heart, he still couldn't help but think about this possibility.

The day when the Jiange family was wiped out when he was young is still vivid in his mind. Revenge is a main theme in his life, and he has never forgotten it.

But perhaps it was because hundreds of years had passed, Guan Lingxiao would occasionally dream of his parents, but he could hardly remember what they looked like. The faces that he once intended to engrave deeply in his heart eventually became blurred with the passage of time.

The dead are gone, and no matter how deep the memories of my parents are, they only lasted for a few short years, but I have actually been with my master for hundreds of years.

If the gods in the upper realm prayed for him now and avenged his great hatred at the cost of his master's life, Guan Lingxiao would definitely not be willing to do so.

Even if the condition was to bring my parents back to life, I would definitely not be willing to do it.

The balance in his heart gradually tilted, and Guan Lingxiao seemed a little ashamed to talk about the established fact that "Master is more important than parents", as if he was betraying his former self.

When did this shift in status begin? Guan Lingxiao pondered aimlessly, perhaps ten years after he was accepted into his master's fold, or perhaps twenty years later... He couldn't remember.

He did not let go of his hatred, but at the same time he carried more and more important things with him, and he did not want to throw away any of them.

So he just said one word to the young man with the blood sword: "Get lost!"

The Blood Sword Youth didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled sinisterly and said, "If you don't want to betray your master and ancestors, that's fine... Do you see the girl next to you?"

"Aren't you two in love? Why not take this opportunity to take her body? Becoming the son-in-law of the Penglai Holy Land will be of great benefit to your future path!"

"With a demonic mind invading your body and your mind lost in passion, it's understandable that you'd do something like this. Xiao Yinghan won't blame you... You can just throw the blame on me, the demonic one. For the sake of revenge for my parents, what's the harm in me taking the blame for you?"

The Blood Sword boy said seductively, "If you miss this opportunity, you won't have such a good excuse in the future."

Guan Lingxiao looked at him with disdain: "You and I are indeed not of the same kind... I may not consider myself a gentleman, but I will never be as despicable as you."

The young man with the blood sword hissed, "Why are you pretending to be so noble? If you don't like me, why are you keeping me hanging like this? I think you are just a ballless eunuch!"

Guan Lingxiao was silent for a moment and just shook his head.

He was not an unromantic blockhead, and he knew Xiao Yinghan's feelings. However, many times, love means responsibility, and after people get married and have children, their bodies no longer belong to them completely.

Now he can risk his own life to avenge his dead relatives, but if he and Xiao Yinghan become a Taoist couple and even have children, can he still draw his sword against Qiu Dongxuan without any scruples?

Once people have concerns, they will have weaknesses and soft spots.

Unless that weakness is not a weakness at all, it is harder than your hardest bone.

Perhaps Master could do this, Guan Lingxiao never doubted it... but Xiao Yinghan...

"cut!"

Guan Lingxiao seemed to have strengthened his resolve in the Dao, and with a swipe of his heart sword, he chopped the young man with the blood sword in front of him into pieces.

The scenery before him changed, and he felt himself returning to reality.

Xiao Yinghan was looking at him with a worried look on her face. Seeing that Guan Lingxiao was awake, the Holy Maiden of Penglai Holy Land finally breathed a sigh of relief:

"You scared me to death, Ling Xiao... This Heart Demon Lake is truly formidable. Even I almost got caught in it. I'm just afraid you won't be able to cross it."

Guan Lingxiao pursed his lips and suddenly asked, "Yinghan, do you want to be my Taoist partner?"

"what?"

Xiao Yinghan's cheeks suddenly flushed red, and a slight dizziness came over him. Even when he was overcoming his inner demon just now, he had never felt so embarrassed: "You, you...you..."

But Guan Lingxiao smiled faintly and resumed his cynical demeanor: "The path to immortality is treacherous, so cultivate diligently... If you can defeat me in a duel, I will reluctantly agree to become your Taoist partner."

"Guan Lingxiao! You bastard!"
