Collapse, Kaslana's Way of Survival

But when I thought about the fact that Theresa seemed to be only one elder whom I hadn't seen for a long time... my sense of respect disappeared instantly.

Letting out a light breath, Kainuo took a few steps forward to meet the immortal.

There are some things that are just the right time to ask.

"red……"

"Kevin?"

However, just as Kainuo was about to speak, he was interrupted by the immortal's slightly surprised voice.

Kainuo:?

Chapter 31 Immortal Red Kite

Kainuo confirmed that he had heard correctly. The other party did call out an English name called Kevin to him.

But who is Kevin?

Does it look like you?

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I got the wrong person. You look a lot like a... friend of mine."

After a moment of hesitation, the immortal came to his senses and apologized to Kaino.

"Kaslana?"

Kaino thought for a moment and asked tentatively.

"Yes, Kaslana."

The immortal nodded.

It really is...

Kaino was a little surprised.

In his opinion, being able to be friends with this immortal who has lived for at least thousands of years should definitely not be unknown.

But Kayno had never heard of this name, even though he knew the name of every Kaslana who had made outstanding contributions to the fight against Honkai.

...Did the Kaslana family exist thousands of years ago? I've never heard of them.

Is this world similar to that of Theresa at the age of eighteen, and different from her own world?

But now is not the time to think about that.

"Anyway, you are the Red Kite Immortal, right?"

Although the appearance is completely consistent, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Keno still feels the need to ask, so as to avoid some embarrassing situations in cross-server chats.

"Yes, I am."

The Red Kite Immortal smiled slightly gently.

"My name is Kainuo, Kainuo Kaslana. My master is Cheng Lingshuang, your fifth disciple."

The smile on the immortal's face gradually disappeared.

"Are you Ling Shuang's disciple? But there's no sign of you practicing the Fruit Sword Heart Technique."

After carefully examining Kainuo for a while, the Immortal shook his head.

"For some reason, my body can't practice the Sword Heart Technique. My master couldn't find a way either. I was originally planning to ask you, the Immortal, but then I heard the news that Yixin Villa was destroyed. Qi Er San Ling Si Jiu Qi San iv Yue/Yi"

"...I'm sorry about what happened at Yixin Villa."

Hearing about Yixin Villa, the immortal lowered his head slightly.

"You didn't burn it?"

Hearing that the immortal's tone was not right, Kainuo's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly.

"Although I had something to do with the destruction of Yixin Villa, I certainly wasn't the one who burned it down."

Fu Hua shook her head.

"Also, you don't need to use honorifics, just call me Fu Hua."

"Then you... Fu Hua, do you know how Yixin Villa burned down?"

Kaino asked hurriedly.

"Why should I tell you?"

Fu Hua asked back.

"You claim to be Ling Shuang's disciple, but this is ultimately just your one-sided statement. You don't possess the Xuanyuan Sword, nor have you practiced the Sword Heart Technique. You don't have any evidence to prove you are Ling Shuang's disciple."

"And this is just the first time we've met, so there's no need for me to tell you this."

“…It seems so.”

Kainuo thought for a moment and nodded. He would be annoyed if someone suddenly came up to him and asked him questions. But the other party was so nice to him, maybe because he and the man named Kevin were of the same clan.

"Then I'll take you to see my master, is that okay?"

"I'll follow you. I also have something to ask Ling Shuang."

Fu Hua said.

Keno turned around, the power of the Wind Traveler was activated, and the two figures gradually disappeared.

It would be better not to let the people of Taixu Sword Sect know about Fu Hua's arrival for the time being.

"The power of the Herrscher of Wind? But you haven't been corrupted by the Honkai, and you don't have a Herrscher core within you."

Fu Hua's voice came from behind Kainuo.

Eh?

Kainuo, who was walking in front, was slightly stunned.

"you know?"

This Herrscher's ability was first used by Xilin during the second collapse. How did this immortal from five hundred years ago know about it?

Besides, don't people in Shenzhou all call collapse "zhenqi"? Immortal, why are you different?

“I have a little understanding of it.”

Fu Hua said.

"So, how do you use it?"

"Just a stigma."

"Stigmata? I see."

A hint of reminiscence flashed in Fu Hua's eyes.

"Kaino, you brought Master here directly?"

Cheng Lingshuang calmly asked Kainuo and Fu Hua while restraining Li Suchang who was trying to draw her sword with one hand.

"Yes, Fu Hua said she wasn't the one who burned Yixin Villa, which is consistent with what you said, Master, so I brought her here directly."

Kaino shrugged.

He was not afraid that Fu Hua would suddenly attack Cheng Lingshuang.

Kainuo had analyzed Fu Hua's body—though the fact that it resembled a Honkai beast more closely than a human had left him somewhat bewildered, it was also true that she bore numerous hidden injuries. In other words, Fu Hua was definitely weaker now than she had been when the Seven Disciples ambushed her.

And while it might be a bit arrogant to think so, Kainuo believed he could match the combined strength of the other six of the Seven Disciples besides Cheng Lingshuang. Adding Cheng Lingshuang and Li Suchang to the mix, there was no reason the three of them couldn't win.

Of course, Cheng Lingshuang, who doesn't know Kainuo's true combat power, may not think so.

Cheng Lingshuang glanced at Kainuo helplessly, then looked at Fu Hua who was looking at her with complicated eyes, and said softly:

"Come in, Master."

Fu Hua glanced at Li Suchang beside Cheng Lingshuang and nodded.

"it is good."

Seeing Fu Hua following Cheng Lingshuang in, Kainuo also hurried into the house and closed the door, taking Cheng Lingshuang's hand to help stop Li Suchang.

Then he met Li Suchang's eyes that said, "You lied to me."

"what?"

Kainuo was puzzled and a little confused.

"Rakshasa, you said you wouldn't stop me from killing Master Chiyuan."

Li Suchang said anxiously.

Fu Hua next to her looked over.

"...Calm down for a moment. Fu Hua is the last person to know about the destruction of Yixin Villa. It's not too late to decide what to do after she finishes speaking."

"What if there's something here that we don't know about?"

Staring at the two gazes in front and behind, Kainuo said with a headache.

Upon hearing this, Li Suchang glared at Kainuo and then stared at Fu Hua. Although his right hand was still on the Xuanyuan Sword, at least he no longer tried to pull it out.

"Then, Master, could you tell me about Yixin Villa and Suyi?"

Cheng Lingshuang said.

"Yes... but before that, Ling Shuang, you must hand over Xuanyuan and tell me the reason for what happened that year."

"The reason why you betrayed me and chose to kill me with others."

Cheng Lingshuang shook her head when she heard that.

"It's fine for you to tell Master, but the Xuanyuan Sword was destroyed back then, and I can't return it to you now."

Fu Hua looked at the Xuanyuan on Cheng Lingshuang's waist with an expressionless face.

"This Xuanyuan is not the one you gave me that year. I don't have the right to dispose of it."

"Whose is this, then? I should only release seven Xuanyuan Swords."

Fu Hua asked.

"Uh, that's mine."

Kainuo raised his hand and once again regretted his action of reappearing the Xuanyuan Sword.

There are so many troubles.

"Yours? I see."

Contrary to Kainuo's expectations, after learning that Xuanyuan came from him, Fu Hua only thought about it for a while but did not ask any further questions or express any doubts.

"Then Ling Shuang, tell me everything that happened back then."

Cheng Lingshuang nodded this time.

"It's impossible."

Chapter 32 Immortals Protect the People

After listening to what Cheng Lingshuang explained to Kainuo at that time, Fu Hua nodded with a complicated expression.

"I have a general understanding of the situation."

Although she said she understood, it was clear from Fu Hua's expression that she hadn't let it go. There was nothing she could do; it was impossible to let go of something like this.

In any case, Fu Hua walked on the brink of death.

"Didn't Su Yi explain it to you?"

Cheng Lingshuang asked.

"No. Su Yi, Jiu Ming, she... maybe because she was the first one to see me, she had no idea what to expect and was very flustered. She didn't answer any of my questions and just kept saying sorry."

Fu Hua shook her head and said:

"Afterwards, I asked her where the Xuanyuan I gave her was. I wanted to take it back. But she seemed to have been provoked by something and decisively committed suicide."

"I had no way of knowing the truth of that year, and I hadn't heard from Xuanyuan, so I left. But not long after I left, I discovered that Yixin Villa had suddenly caught fire. I wanted to stop it, but it was too late."

Having said that, Fu Hua looked at Li Suchang, who was biting her lips with a troubled expression, and the Xuanyuan in her hand.

"This is Su Yi's child."
