The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

The moon was high in the sky, casting a clear glow. A strange-looking man in blue robes sat cross-legged beside her, holding a sword.

Yun Yici blinked, looking confused, and asked, "Senior Shen, what are you doing here?"

Sensing the life force draining from the person before him, Shen Huaichuan asked, "It's been seven days. Did you go to retrieve Huaichuan?"

Yun Yici's mind cleared instantly.

Yes, she participated in the disciple selection and climbed to the upper levels with Rong Xuan and the others.

What was thought to be the last relatively safe layer of the Buddha's face actually concealed the demons that the Tower of Gods and Demons had not yet refined.

The demon controlled the Buddha-Demon Tower and enslaved its spirit.

Then... thankfully, they received help from the tower spirit through Mu Yunjian.

They finally met Ning Tinglan, only to be plunged into darkness.

The tower spirit said that everyone except them had been evacuated from the Tower of Buddhas and Demons, meaning they had been abandoned by the outside world, but it would protect the three of them as much as possible.

Later, the demon that had transformed into the twilight clouds appeared.

Rong Xuan's glass ball was crushed, and the three of them scattered.

Yun Yici only remembered walking alone in the darkness for a very long time, until she reached this familiar and safe Wangchen Peak before lying down.

After listening, Shen Huaichuan said, "So that's how it is."

He then said thoughtfully, "If you die, our promise will be null and void."

Yun Yici said sincerely, "I feel that my crime does not warrant death, and I can still be saved."

She wanted to live, and she wanted everyone to live together.

Shen Huaichuan said, "As you said, it means we did not obtain Huaichuan."

"If you can obtain Huaichuan, I can place a sword technique in your sea of ​​consciousness. This sword is as if I am personally present, and it may be able to solve your current predicament."

Shen Huaichuan was not indifferent to Yun Yici's safety.

He will be free when Yun Yici finishes her training; if she dies, he will never finish, and he will be trapped in the Xuanling Prison forever.

Where will his next chance to escape come from?

Yun Yici said, "Won't an ordinary sword work?"

Shen Huaichuan said, "Only Huaichuan can withstand the power of my sword. Your current body and your sword cannot withstand it."

She didn't even know where the Huai Chuan Sword was kept by the Nan Hua Sect. Perhaps it was in the Sword Pavilion? Or the Treasure Pavilion?

Even if she could send a message out, she couldn't convince people outside that she had thrown Huaichuan in without any proof.

Unless... Huai Chuan comes to her himself.

The system started coughing violently to attract Yun Yici's attention. "Yes, host, we also have Wanjian Guizong."

Yun Yici was taken aback: "Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin, didn't you say that was your ultimate move?"

She had high hopes for this, but it was never used in the normal selection process.

Later, the monsters became too strong, and the difference in their cultivation levels couldn't be bridged by a single move, so she simply gave up and focused on running away.

Wait a minute, does "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One" mean that?

Could she possibly use the "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One" technique to summon the Huai Chuan Sword?

The system reaffirmed, "The Return of Ten Thousand Swords to Their Origin, like servants meeting their master, what else could it be but a powerful move?"

However, Yun Yici's "Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin" might be slightly different, which is why it's called "Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin".

Yun Yici felt genuinely grateful to the system this time, and said, "Thank you."

Upon receiving a positive response from the system, Yun Yici almost lunged forward and hugged Shen Huaichuan's leg.

"Senior Shen, please grant me a sword technique. I have a way to obtain Huaichuan."

Shen Huaichuan couldn't see Yun Yici's expression, but he felt somewhat relieved from the hope in her tone.

In terms of sentiment, there was some teacher-student relationship between them, and Yun Yici was quick-witted, eager to learn, and kind-hearted, with a promising future.

Logically speaking, Yun Yici's life or death is related to whether he will spend the rest of his life in prison.

In any case, he did not want to see Yun Yici die somewhere.

Shen Huaichuan reached out and touched Yun Yici's brow, infusing it with his sword intent.

He said, "This one sword strike should be enough. Once you get Huai Chuan, you'll know how to use it."

"Remember, never use my sword for evil."

"I don't want this to be the last time we meet."

Shen Huaichuan's figure and voice gradually faded into the distance, like a mirage.

Yun Yici opened her eyes to find herself in complete darkness. Not far away, a white-haired, red-eyed man stared at her with a greedy look.

What secrets lie within you?

He sensed the immense power hidden within this woman.

So he changed his mind, thinking that as long as he ate the woman in front of him, he would be able to rebuild his body, return to the Demon Realm, and reach the peak again.

As Yun Yici watched the demon approach step by step, he said to the system, "Quickly, quickly, Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin."

System: "Host, are you sure you want to use 'Return of All Things to One' now?"

"use!!"

After Yun Yici finished speaking to the system, fearing she might have made a mistake with the sword, she confirmed again, "The Huaichuan Sword, the one Shen Huaichuan showed me."

System: "Cough cough cough..."

One step, two steps, like the devil's steps.

Nothing happened in the darkness.

Yun Yici wasted no more time and turned to flee. How could she forget that it would take time for the sword to fly over?

There's no way an unclaimed sword could just appear out of thin air in front of her!

When Yun Yici turned and ran away, the tense atmosphere outside had reached its peak, like a bubble that could burst at any moment.

Yan Jing's lifeline, which he had been struggling to maintain, finally broke, and with it, Gu Ruyi's key was shattered in half.

Everyone stared blankly at the soon-to-disappear Buddha Tower.

This place eventually became a demonic land that devoured their fellow disciples.

No miracle occurred.

The only entrance and exit was about to disappear, and no one came out from inside.

The swords carried by all the sword cultivators in the main hall began to tremble slightly, one, two...

These subtle movements gradually began to attract the attention of people who were grieving.

Gu Ruyi exclaimed, "What's wrong with your swords?"

As if summoned, all the swords behind everyone in the hall were drawn from their sheaths, defying their masters' commands.

Even the spirit sword that had been with Gu Ruyi for hundreds of years appeared out of thin air without her summons, swirling around with all the other swords, dancing in the sky above the hall like a thousand birds.

Lin Qinyin exclaimed in surprise, "What's going on? Why are our swords not obeying our commands? How is this possible!"

This extraordinary scene will remain unforgettable for everyone.

The commotion in the large square outside left everyone in the main hall completely bewildered.

Lin Jin said, "I'll go out and take a look!"

She had barely stepped out the door when she saw the scene before her and rushed back: "Sect Leader, Master, something terrible has happened..."

Without her saying a word, everyone in the hall saw it.

A spirit sword, its blade as white as frost and snow, its cold light dazzling and its killing intent penetrating to the bone, led the charge, followed by at least several thousand spirit swords, like its underlings, rushing straight towards the main hall.

Behind the spirit sword followed a group of elders and disciples who were shouting and chasing after the sword.

Gu Ruyi had a bad feeling. She recognized the sword of the leader at a glance as the legendary swordsman Shen Huaichuan's sword.

Why is this?

Before she could figure it out, she saw the leading spirit sword fly straight into the almost closed entrance of the Buddha Demon Tower.

The opening was so small that it was difficult for a person to get in and out.

However, the spirit sword was slender and thin, and it rushed in like lightning before anyone present could react.

Of course, this is not the most crucial point. What is that after the spirit sword flew in, countless spirit swords following behind it rushed in one after another through the only small opening.

In an instant, the entire Nanhua Sect was in an uproar, the main hall became a noisy marketplace, and cries of grief echoed continuously.

Some sword cultivators even tried to squeeze into the small opening to rescue their beloved swords.

Unfortunately, the swords blocked their path one after another, giving them no chance at all.

Whether they knew what had happened or not, everyone was genuinely plunged into grief.

The Nanhua Sect lost a peak master, four disciples, and all their spirit swords during a disciple selection process.

Yun Yici, who was still playing cat and mouse and trying to run away, seemed to have some kind of feeling.

She looked up and saw a dazzling silver light overhead, with countless silver shooting stars hurtling towards her.

The dreamlike scene stunned Yun Yici for a moment, until she could see clearly what it was.

She ran even faster!!

Damn this system! This isn't "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One," it's clearly a stolen version of your Spirit Sword 2.0.
