It's not that he's such a coward, but rather that there's an all-knowing girl next to the demon god who might even be able to read his mind... Well, in the end, it's still cowardice.

When it comes to cultivating immortality, survival is the most important thing.

The higher one's cultivation level, the more one cherishes life.

It's better for cultivators to be a little timid.

Just as Ancestor Youchen was feeling sentimental, Fan Xiao's answer to Yu Xuezhao's question instantly brought him to his senses.

"Senior sister, it's better to see me do it than to hear me explain it once." Fan Xiao said mysteriously, "My method is very different from the method you imagine."

This answer piqued Yu Xuezhao's curiosity.

This also put Old Ancestor Youchen in a state of constant anxiety.

"Mr. Fan, you want to..."

The old ancestor felt his heart tremble!

Fan Xiao ignored him and turned to ask Xiao Zhen, "In the duel just now, was the blood sword that Lin Fan used lent to him by someone else?"

He's a Void Returning Realm cultivator now, so he has some discernment.

“Yes, Master,” the True Knowledge Loli replied, “That was the natal magic weapon that Blood Sword Old Dog lent to trash Lin Fan.”

“I knew that old man looked familiar,” Elder Youchen interjected. “It seems that the brat with the sharp tongue just now is connected to Blood Sword Old Dog. Mr. Fan, this old dog is not a member of our Heavenly Sword Sect. You may do as you see fit!”

"Did I tell you to interrupt?!" the knowledgeable loli scolded. "Who do you think you are, daring to speak to the master so casually? And what do you mean you can be dealt with at will just because you're not from the Heavenly Sword Sect? That's ridiculous! So what if you're from the Heavenly Sword Sect? Does that mean the master can't touch you?"

“…Senior is right,” said the shameless Patriarch Youchen, “I didn’t mean that just now.”

"Hmph, you better keep quiet while I'm answering my master's questions."

The knowledgeable loli snorted coldly.

Their conversation plunged the elders and disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect surrounding the arena into an eerie, deathly silence.

No one dared to speak.

They didn't even dare to whisper about it.

Most people, unaware of the truth, were stunned by the ancestor's humble demeanor, frozen in place, their eyes glazed over. All their previous guesses were overturned, leaving only astonishment and disbelief...

The arrogant and naive girl didn't care about any of that and said to Fan Xiao again, "This Blood Sword Old Dog is a well-known Mahayana cultivator who specializes in swordsmanship. He has a granddaughter named Meng Zhiying, who is very much loved by him because her personality is similar to his deceased daughter... She's the stupid girl who dared to spew filth at Miss Yu and was then killed by a sword."

"This Meng Zhiying is an old woman in her forties, yet she is still willful and capricious, pretending to be a young girl. She is absolutely disgusting! However, because she is the granddaughter of a Mahayana cultivator, Lin Fan has his eye on her."

"Lin Fan, relying on his memories and experience as a powerful figure, knew Meng Zhiying's identity, and thus devised a scheme to play the hero and save the beauty..."

She recounted how Lin Fan shamelessly schemed to get to know Meng Zhiying, and then acted one way in public and another in private.

Then they talked about the people behind Lin Fan, who stood on the side of supporting Lin Fan because of the Blood Immortal Sword Technique inherited by the Blood Sword Ancestor...

"Master, among those who support Lin Fan, a small portion are for the Blood Immortal Sword Technique inheritance, while the majority..."

She glanced at the survivors on the northern side of the arena, her eyes filled with pity: "Most of them are brainless idiots who were fooled into taking sides. Among them, the elders of the formation lineage are the biggest idiots of all, unable to distinguish between talent and experience."

"Because of his own poor skill level and poor eyesight, he treated Lin Fan as some kind of peerless array genius."

"With Lin Fan's skill level, he'd only be considered mediocre in the Heavenly Pattern Dao Pavilion of the main array path. It's laughable!"

These words, while not at their absolute maximum impact, are certainly not bad.

The elders from the array formation lineage in the north turned pale and purplish-blue, but dared not retaliate.

Fan Xiao... Hmm, very pleased, very satisfied.

If he said these things himself... wouldn't he just be a lousy idiot who wants to show off and has a foul mouth?

Therefore, having a perfect stand-in who understands people's hearts, can speak freely regardless of the occasion or atmosphere, and has an extremely arrogant attitude... is such an important thing!

Xiao Zhen, not bad.

The knowledgeable loli continued, "Master, that Blood Sword Old Dog is also a heartless person. He had already sensed the death of his most beloved granddaughter. Then, the destruction of his natal magic weapon, the Blood River Sword, not only caused him to suffer a backlash injury, but also made him deduce that Lin Fan had encountered an absolutely powerful enemy that even he could not handle."

"So he didn't come to the Heavenly Sword Sect, but chose to run away and has now moved to his own secret realm."

"However, not knowing the specifics, he has not yet opened the secret realm for refuge."

"Hmph! You mere Blood Sword Old Dog, do you dare to come to my Heavenly Sword Sect and cause trouble?" Ancestor You Chen snorted heavily.

"Did I ask you to speak?!" Xiao Zhen glared at her.

"Ahem... Senior, it was just an instinctive reaction. Please don't take offense."

Ancestor Youchen quickly apologized.

While apologizing, he cursed the other three Mahayana patriarchs in his heart... These three bastards have no sense of unity at all! They've all stayed hidden and haven't shown up, leaving him to embarrass himself alone. It's outrageous!

I'll definitely go and confront them one by one later!

"Does this Blood Sword Ancestor possess a secret realm?" Fan Xiao grasped the key phrase.

"Yes, Master. Although he is not a player, he had a fortuitous encounter in his early years and unexpectedly became the master of the secret realm."

Xiao Zhen replied.

Xiao Zhen naturally understood what Fan Xiao wanted, so after answering the question, she added, "Master, the secret realms of node C have formed a cluster. The rules of these secret realms all share the common attribute of immortal laws, so most of them can be directly merged."

"For this reason, the masters of the secret realms are very wary of each other."

"That old dog Blood Sword thinks he can just hide after making a mistake? There's no such thing as a free lunch! Master, you must represent fairness and justice and punish him!"

“Yes,” Fan Xiao nodded slightly, “This matter really cannot be ignored. We cannot allow the trend of the strong bullying the weak to grow.”

Very good, the sense of righteousness has been taken over.

Xiao Zhen immediately said, "Master, Blood Sword Old Dog's secret realm is at these coordinates..."

She immediately transmitted the spacetime coordinates into Fan Xiao's consciousness.

Seeing this, the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, who had been silent and stunned, now began to look forward to it.

Although Blood Sword Ancestor was a renowned Mahayana cultivator, his reputation... was mostly bad.

As members of a reputable and righteous sect, seeing bad people suffer misfortune inevitably evokes a sense of anticipation, regardless of whether it benefits them personally.

Moreover... it's good to be able to divert the trouble and temporarily send away the evil spirit.

It would be too tiring for them to be in a state where they don't even dare to breathe loudly.

Just as everyone was anticipating and speculating how long it would take Fan Xiao to capture and deal with the Blood Sword Ancestor...

A halo with a blue glow appeared around Fan Xiao's body.

A terrifying energy fluctuation spread out, and everyone felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on them, making them want to kneel on the ground on the spot.

The S-rank item "Ring of Aether" has been activated.

Fan Xiao then activated the A-level psychic energy "The Narrative of Heaven and Earth," and used his activated psychic energy as a medium to mobilize a vast amount of etheric energy to promote the concept behind this psychic energy.

The combined effect of initiation and propulsion creates a powerful synergy.

In just a few seconds, following the spacetime coordinates given by Xiao Zhen, he forcibly dragged the Blood Sword Ancestor's A-level secret realm from another spacetime and transferred it to the interior of the Heavenly Sword Sect's protective formation, above the life-and-death arena.

It wasn't until the shadow covered the main peak of Law Enforcement Peak that everyone realized what had happened.

Some disciples of the sect, unable to contain their astonishment, had their mouths agape in an "O" shape, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

Not to mention the disciples, many elders and grand elders also showed rather comical surprised reactions.

This immense power is truly awe-inspiring!

To put it metaphorically, it's like forcibly dragging a planetary world into a teleportation... No, considering that the secret realm has its own spacetime permissions, the actual difficulty is several times greater.

Only Old Ancestor Youchen is somewhat calm now.

He was, after all, a Mahayana cultivator.

Destroying a planetary world is not difficult for Mahayana cultivators.

It could even be described as very simple.

While he couldn't travel with an entire planet, he'd at least seen a pig run, even if he hadn't eaten pork.

Players with divine attributes can temporarily house S-level dungeons within their divine attributes, allowing them to travel with the dungeons—a feat he had witnessed before.

For example, the "destroy a country" scenario, which involves playing through all nodes frequently.

For Mr. Fan, who was on the verge of godhood, this kind of operation was routine... Well, the Ancestor didn't know that Fan Xiao didn't actually have godhood at all, and did this entirely as a super player.

the other side.

Fan Xiao glanced at the copy of the sky and activated "The Book of Heaven and Earth" again.

The next instant, a black-haired old man with blood-red eyes and a rather flamboyant appearance was forcibly moved in front of him.

Blood Sword Ancestor looked bewildered for a moment, then looked around and finally understood the situation.

Before he could react, Xiao Zhen's voice, transmitted directly into his consciousness as a memory, said: "Blood Sword Old Dog! My master is now interrogating you about your crimes. You'd better cooperate obediently. If you dare to escape through the secret realm... Hmph, don't force my master to use the Kunlun Mirror to go back in time and kill you!"

Blood Sword Ancestor: "..."

His beloved granddaughter was murdered, his natal weapon, the Blood River Sword, was destroyed, he was dragged into the dungeon, and he himself was being interrogated about his crimes... Even if he was stupid, he knew that Lin Fan had encountered a powerful enemy, which implicated him.

He was instantly filled with uncontrollable rage!

"You killed my granddaughter, destroyed my natal magic weapon, and now you want to... question my crimes?"

Blood Sword Ancestor roared.

After yelling out his emotions, he suddenly realized something was wrong—he seemed to have just heard the words "Kunlun Mirror"... Holy crap!?

The Blood Sword Ancestor looked at the young man in front of him and the girls floating on his left and right sides... In an instant, he was terrified!

Oh no, this is really someone we can't afford to mess with!

And he can't even run!

I was so angry that I lost control and acted rashly...

To the great relief of Blood Sword Ancestor, the fiend in front of him did not kill him directly, but only frowned slightly.

The knowledgeable loli noticed Fan Xiao's frown immediately and scolded the Blood Sword Ancestor, "Shameless dog! How dare you distort the truth and confuse right and wrong in front of your master! This is outrageous!"

"Your crimes are twofold. First, you bully the weak by relying on your cultivation level and interfere in the battles between juniors. You even lent your own natal magic weapon to a junior to help him commit evil deeds. How shameless you are!"

"Your second crime is your leniency towards the younger generation's violence! You didn't discipline them strictly, and when things went wrong, you turned around and blamed them. You knew it was unfair, yet you encouraged it. And you dare to act like a senior? How shameless!"

“Your granddaughter was disrespectful and arrogant. She dared to insult her elders with foul language. She was asking for death, so she died.”

At this point, Xiao Zhen stared coldly at the Blood Sword Ancestor: "You dog! Facts speak louder than words, do you have anything else to argue about?"

"..." After a few seconds of silence, the Blood Sword Ancestor said, "I've thought about it... and the fault does indeed lie with me."

"Master, how do you intend to punish him?" Zhenzhi Loli asked Fan Xiao.

Fan Xiao shook his head slightly and replied, "If I were to punish her, it would inevitably be somewhat biased towards my senior sister. But you know everything in this world and can make the fairest judgment... In that case, the decision on punishment is left to you."

"Master, please rest assured, Xiao Zhen will definitely handle this impartially!"

"I know all," the little girl patted her chest and assured them.

……

Therefore, after a trial, Zhenzhi Loli, citing the reason that the death penalty could be waived but the punishment was unforgivable, decided to punish Yu Xuezhao by giving her the secret realm and some cultivation resources.

Cultivation resources are naturally just insignificant additions, used merely for show.

After all, if the verdict only awards compensation to the secret realm, it would seem rather...unseemly.

Therefore, it is still necessary to occupy the rightful position.

As for the Blood Sword Ancestor... naturally, he dared not have any objections.

He even agreed to give up the secret realm quite readily.

It wasn't that he was generous, but rather... judging from his usual way of doing things, he felt that it was a miracle that he had survived this time.

He was genuinely surprised that the Demon God actually... let him go.

If he were in that situation, he might not do anything openly to avoid damaging his reputation. But secretly... in the cultivation world, it's not uncommon to slaughter entire families in revenge. Some cultivators have even developed techniques like the Bloodline Source-Tracing Spell specifically for this purpose, which can find an enemy's entire family with just a drop of blood... or even their entire clan.

Moreover, the requirements for using this type of technique are not very high; having a Nascent Soul stage cultivation level is sufficient.

The cultivation world is a cruel world.

Nothing is more important than being alive!
