Traveling through the fairy world, I monopolize all the luck in the world!

Somewhere in the Forest of Beasts, a sword light streaked across the sky before suddenly turning sharply downwards and falling into the mountains and forests.

Gai Nie appeared in the forest and looked at the man in gray robe in front of him.

This place is nearly a hundred miles away from the site of the great battle. It is secluded and deep. Only this gray-robed man stands there quietly, motionless as a pine tree.

"It's you?" Gai Nie frowned slightly.

"Brother Gai, how are you?" the gray-robed man clasped his fists slightly.

Gai Nie sneered, "You and I don't know each other, there's no need to call each other brother."

The gray-robed man remained silent.

Gai Nie looked at him, then looked towards the battle site in the distance, frowning slightly, "Have you been watching here the whole time?"

The gray-robed man nodded slightly.

"Why don't you take action?" Gai Nie asked with a grim expression.

"Because I have no reason to take action," the gray-robed man said calmly.

Gai Nie laughed angrily, "Hehe?"

"Is this the Protector?"

The gray-robed man shook his head, "Brother Gai is wrong. I am the young lady's protector, not his."

"Then why are you still following him secretly?" Gai Nie snorted coldly.

"I want to stop anyone who might dampen his fighting spirit," the gray-robed man said seriously.

"Oh, are you talking about me?" Gai Nie chuckled.

"Yes, you can't keep him around," the gray-robed man said in a deep voice.

"What if I insist on keeping him by my side to protect him?" Gai Nie took a step forward, his sword energy boiling and his aura majestic.

"Then Brother Gai can kill me now, because I will stop you." The gray-robed man said dully.

Gai Nie frowned slightly, "Can you tell me the reason?"

The gray-robed man said each word firmly, "Either live an ordinary life, or fight gloriously to the heavens."

"Since he has chosen to embark on the path of the martial arts world, he can never turn back. What awaits him is only endless trials and tribulations. He can never stop and enjoy comfort."

"Because he has to face so much, only by letting him know that he has no one to rely on behind him and that there is nothing but desolation ahead of him, and letting him grow in hardship and fight in blood and tears, can he hone his strongest Dao heart and have the strength to face those 'own people' who might eat him in the future."

Gai Nie was silent for a moment, then said with a cold look in his eyes, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

The gray-robed man clasped his fists and bowed his head. "I dare not. Only in this way can he grow faster and become stronger, so that he won't have to wait so long."

"I don't think Brother Gai will stop him from becoming stronger."

Gai Nie sneered, "Nonsense, I would be happier if he could be strong enough to suppress me with just a wave of his hand, because that would make him look like my senior brother's child."

The gray-robed man remained silent.

Gai Nie was silent for a moment, then angrily said, "Humph, you guys in the Demon Realm really have no humanity at all. You're still practicing the law of the jungle within a family. You're truly the devil."

The gray-robed man shook his head. "The Demonic Path is not the desolate human world. They cannot represent all the people in the Demonic Realm, at least not the young lady."

"Yes, you still look a bit human," Gai Nie chuckled.

The gray-robed man stood quietly, neither angry nor annoyed.

Gai Nie chuckled and said, "The once famous Overlord Sword of the Demon Realm was willing to lie dormant in the Divine Martial World for decades. He truly has great perseverance."

The gray-robed man said calmly, "If the young lady hadn't taken me into the mountain gate when I was being chased by my enemies and seriously injured and on the run, the Overlord Sword would have been broken and the man would have died long ago."

"Good, he's a real man," Gai Nie praised.

As he spoke, he handed over the orange gourd in his hand and said with a smile, "I'll treat you to a drink."

The gray-robed man took it silently, raised his head to the sky and took a big sip, saying lightly, "It's good wine."

Gai Nie chuckled, "There are only a handful of people in the world who are qualified to drink my wine, and your Overlord Sword counts as one of them."

The gray-robed man smiled faintly, "Is it because I dared to stop the dignified Sword Saint?"

"No, it's because what you said makes sense," Gai Nie said with a smile.

The gray-robed man fell silent again.

Gai Nie frowned again and asked, "I want to know, if I hadn't shown up, would you really not have protected him?"

The gray-robed man was puzzled. "For some reason, my intuition tells me that even if you don't show up, even if I don't take action, he might not die."

"Oh? Is it your divine connection?" Gai Nie asked curiously.

"No, it's just a simple intuition," the gray-robed man said calmly.

Gai Nie smiled with relief and said, "It seems that the child born by Senior Brother is really not simple."

"It has nothing to do with your senior brother and young lady. He is just too strong," the gray-robed man said calmly.

Gai Nie was surprised. "You said he was powerful?"

"Oh, that's right. To dare to draw a sword towards Shenyou in the state of freedom, you must have a strong will."

The gray-robed man frowned slightly but did not explain, because he couldn't understand why there was such a statement. Maybe it was related to the intuition he developed from countless life-and-death battles in the Demon Realm.

The gray-robed man clasped his fists again and said, "Brother Gai, please don't tell him too much about the young lady. At his current level, knowing too much will only hinder his Dao heart."

Gai Nie nodded. "I'll only tell you what I know about your young lady. I actually know very little about her. I only know that after my senior brother died, she hurried back to the Demon Realm and never returned."

"I just realized now that he didn't even take my senior brother's child away," Gai Nie shook his head and smiled bitterly.

The gray-robed man frowned, "Someone 'invited' the young lady back. It's not that the young lady won't come back, it's that she can't come back."

"And it's not that she doesn't want to take him away, it's that she can't. The people waiting for him there are all 'his own people' who are ready to eat him."

Gai Nie reached out to stop him, "Alright, don't talk about what's going on there. It makes me feel bad."

"I will know my limits. When the time comes, you can tell him the rest."

The gray-robed man clasped his fists.

Gai Nie turned around and said, "Let's go. If we stay out for too long, that kid might get suspicious."

"I won't tell him I've seen you."

After saying that, Gai Nie took a step forward and his body turned into a sword light and disappeared on the spot.

The figure of the gray-robed man soon turned into a puff of green smoke and disappeared.

The forest returned to peace again.

. . .

The exit of the secret realm was now a sea of ​​blood and corpses, a bleak scene.

The originally dense crowd had all left at this time, leaving only Lu Bei and a few others.

In a deep pit covered in blood, mud and dirt, Lu Bei, covered in blood, picked up a feather fan and a storage bag from the mud.

Lu Bei shook his hand lightly, shaking off all the dirt on it and restoring it to its clean appearance.

He looked at the curious feather fan, but couldn't figure out what it was. He looked at the storage bag again and was slightly surprised.

The various skills, pills, and precious materials hidden inside are dazzling.

He skillfully took out all the items inside and transferred them to his own magic ring.

Finally, he walked out of the deep pit with the feather fan.
