Lin Haoran was dead. He was killed by a young slave who had just cultivated for a few days.
This matter quickly spread throughout the Primordial Sect, and many people widened their eyes in shock.
"Elder Xiao Xuan's new trash is actually so strong that even Lin Haoran isn't his match?”
"How many days has she been cultivating?
Although Elder Xiao Xuan had given him enlightenment to increase his cultivation, he had almost no combat experience. However, he still killed Lin Haoran and crossed more than ten minor realms. His combat talent was simply terrifying!”
" What's even more ridiculous is that when Elder Situ of the Third Peak heard about this, he suppressed the matter and arranged for his disciples to bury Lin Haoran's body.”
"Tsk tsk tsk, Elder Situ is famous for his fiery temper. Elder Xiao Xuan allowed his disciple to kill his disciple. With Elder Situ's temper, would he let it go?”
"Nonsense!"
Someone curled his lips and said," Elder Xiao Xuan is the number one genius of our Hong Meng Sect. He could instantly kill Sixth Peak's Elder Wang when he just entered the Golden Core realm. His future is limitless! If it were you, would you fall out with a genius like Elder Xiao Xuan for a mere Lin Haoran?”
"Moreover, that Lin Haoran is a fence-sitter who deceives his master and betrays his ancestors. He has just betrayed the Seventh Peak and joined the Third Peak for a few days, but he wants to return. His words are even quite dissatisfied with Elder Situ.
What are you thinking?
"That's true!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Later, the sect announced that Lin Haoran had deceived his master and killed his ancestors. He deserved to die.
Just like that, this matter was dealt with coldly by the sect master and elders of the Hong Meng Sect, becoming a topic of conversation in the Hong Meng Sect.
……
Ding! The host has carefully guided his disciple and has gained enlightenment. He has comprehended a trace of the Autumn Water Sword Intent (Human Rank Martial Dao Intent). He has received ten times the reward and has obtained ten percent of the Autumn Water Sword Intent!
[Autumn Water Sword Intent: Autumn Eyes. With the flow of one's mind, the sword technique will undergo a magical change. When it is swung, it will be like an impenetrable pool of autumn water. Its defense is powerful.]
A trace of enlightenment surged into his mind, and Xiao Xuan was slightly stunned.
He had never thought that the child slave would be able to comprehend sword essence.
These few days, the child slave was digesting the cultivation that had soared after the enlightenment while receiving Xiao Xuan's unreserved guidance on the way of the sword. His strength was rapidly absorbed and expanded like a sponge.
Now, she had actually surpassed her master and comprehended sword essence.
The so-called sword intent was one of the concepts of martial arts.
Similar to weapon cultivation techniques, martial arts concepts were also divided into four levels, from low to high: human, mystic, earth, and heaven.
The comprehension of martial arts intent was mainly based on one's emotions. It was something that required luck and talent. It was extremely mysterious.
It was not that one could comprehend a cultivation method or martial technique by cultivating it to the extreme. Instead, one had to rely on one's comprehension and talent to comprehend it.
For example, although Xiao Xuan's predecessor had advanced very quickly in his cultivation, his comprehension of the Martial Dao Concept was not very good. Although he was known as the number one genius of the Primordial Sect, he had yet to comprehend the Martial Dao Concept.
Zhinu had only been learning the sword for a few days, but he had already comprehended sword intent. Although it was the lowest level of the Mortal Realm martial arts intent, it was enough to show that Zhinu was talented in the way of the sword.
As for why the sword intent that should have been fierce was mainly for defense?
Presumably, it was due to the strong belief that the child slave had in repaying his kindness and protecting Xiao Xuan.
Xiao Xuan was gratified by this. He did not take in this disciple for nothing, nor did he teach him for nothing.
Xiao Xuan did not disturb Zhi Nu. He sat quietly at the side and waited for Zhi Nu to wake up from the state of enlightenment.
After a sleepless night, the next morning.
A sharp cry broke the silence of the morning.
Zhi Nu woke up from her meditation and opened her beautiful eyes to look in Xiao Xuan's direction. When she realized that Xiao Xuan was looking at her, her pretty face immediately blushed.
Xiao Xuan smiled and said,"Young slave!" How do you feel?"
Zhi Nu nodded excitedly, then frowned and said,"Master, I felt a little tired last night, but I also felt a little inexplicably comfortable. It seems that I have comprehended something new.
But I feel like something is missing.”
"Oh!"
Xiao Xuan nodded and explained the matter of martial intent to her. He then said,"Comprehension of intent depends on one's emotions and talent, but the key lies in one's heart.
Only when one's mind was clear could one truly comprehend the concept.
Zhi Nu nodded as if she had understood something. Her expression became a little hesitant. Then, her gaze became firm as she looked at Xiao Xuan and said,"Master, I have something to tell you.”
Xiao Xuan seemed to have expected this and nodded to signal her to continue.
"My name is not Zhinu. My original name is Lin Zhi..."
Zhi Nu immediately recounted the past that had been sealed in his heart.
It turned out that Zhinu was once the eldest daughter of a martial arts family in the secular world.
Although the family was not strong, under the leadership of Zhinu's father, it was thriving and growing stronger day by day.
One day, the Lin family purchased a mountain and wanted to develop it into their territory.
Unexpectedly, as he dug, he actually dug out a spirit stone mine.
One had to know that the most widely circulated currency in this world was not gold and silver, but spirit stones.
Obtaining a Spirit Stone mine was completely enough for a faction similar to the Hong Meng Sect to rise rapidly.
However, opportunities always came with risks.
Zhinu's father also knew this truth, so he strictly sealed this news, intending to digest it in secret.
However, what he hadn't expected was that a traitor had appeared among his family's closest kin, and this news had reached the ears of a sect called the Drifting Cloud Sect.
One could imagine what happened next. The Lin family suffered a great calamity because of this.
Other than the traitor, the entire family of more than a hundred people was slaughtered. Only Zhinu survived under the protection of his father.
In the process of escaping, the child slave encountered mountain bandits. Not only did they rob her of her property, but they also sold her as a lowly citizen and suffered for several years.
It was not easy for him to escape, but he almost died of hunger and cold on the streets.
It was also at this moment that Xiao Xuan's predecessor, who was out traveling, bumped into him.
The predecessor had saved her and saw that she was beautiful and obedient. He thought that she was extraordinary and brought her back to Hongmeng Sect without checking her carefully…
All these years, Zhinu had always hidden his identity in the bottom of his heart. The reason why he did not betray Xiao Xuan's predecessor when he was seriously injured was to repay his predecessor for saving his life.
If it wasn't for Xiao Xuan treating her better than her biological parents, she would probably have brought this past into her coffin and never mentioned it again.
All these years, I didn't hate those beasts from the Drifting Cloud Sect for their sanctimonious behavior, nor did I hate uncle for his vicious betrayal of the Lin family! I only hate myself for not having the strength to protect my family!
The young servant's eyes flickered with intense hatred. She clenched her fists and her delicate body trembled non-stop.
Xiao Xuan sighed and patted her head.
No wonder Zhinu, who was usually such an innocent and kind girl, was so ruthless when facing the traitor Lin Haoran.
Part of it was because Lin Haoran had insulted him, but the bigger reason was that the child slave had a tragic background and hated traitors.
The Autumn Water Sword Intent focused on defense and protection. It was not entirely because of him, but because the child slave wanted to protect something important in her heart, so she comprehended it.
Xiao Xuan said gently,"I've been wronged all these years. I think the extermination of the Lin family is the key reason why you can't understand your feelings."
The child slave raised his head and wiped the tears on his face with his hand." Thank you, Master! These words had been suppressed in his heart for a long time. Now that he had said them out loud, his disciple felt much more comfortable.”
"Silly disciple, just saying it out loud won't be able to resolve the knot in your heart."”
Zhi Nu didn't know what was going on. She stared at Xiao Xuan with her big watery eyes in confusion.
"Have a good rest today. I'll bring you down the mountain tomorrow morning," Xiao Xuan said with a smile.”
"Down the mountain?"
"As my disciple, I, Xiao Xuan, will definitely thank you for your kindness and take revenge for your hatred!”
"Drifting Cloud Sect, right? Master will personally accompany you on this trip and let you personally take revenge!”
Xiao Xuan's tone was calm, but it carried a domineering and unquestionable tone.
Hearing this, Zhi Nu burst into tears. However, this time, it was not because of hatred, but because she was moved.
Before she met her master, she had always been alone and had always relied on her own efforts to survive.
However, not only did her master save her life, but he also spent a lot of effort to teach her martial arts. Now, he wanted to avenge her.
She would never forget such kindness.
Zhi Nu's heart was in turmoil. She threw herself into Xiao Xuan's arms and wailed," Wuwu, Master, thank you. I don't need Master to take the risk to avenge me. I only hope that Master will be safe for the rest of his life. I am willing to serve you for the rest of my life!"”
Xiao Xuan gently comforted him." Don't cry. If you continue to cry, you'll really become a painted cat. Don't worry. I'm not a reckless person."”
The Drifting Cloud Sect was as famous as the Primordial Sect, and the strength of the leader was not much different from Sect Master Zhang He.
Xiao Xuan was now at the fifth level of the Golden Core Realm, and he had the combination of the Soft Sword and the Thousand Mile Sword Control Technique. If he used it well, it would not be a problem for him to kill a sixth or seventh level Golden Core Realm expert. He would not even lose to an eighth or ninth level Golden Core Realm expert.
Today, Zhi Nu had displayed a strong talent in the way of the sword. He believed that it would not be long before he needed to help her activate the Innate Sword Body.
And with the Lin family exterminated, the ancestral sword embryo would definitely fall into the hands of the Drifting Cloud Sect or Zhinu's traitor uncle.
If this trip went smoothly, his and Zhi Nu's strength would have a qualitative leap when they returned to the sect.
Would the reward of the Innate Sword Body drop some kind of awesome talent like the Brilliant Sword Heart?
Xiao Xuan was looking forward to it. Seeing that Zhi Nu's emotions had finally eased up, he had a flash of inspiration and said,"Oh right, I have a secret technique here that I forgot to teach you.”
As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and pointed at the young servant's glabella. A ray of light instantly entered and disappeared.
"This secret technique is called the Qi Hiding Technique. It's a secret technique that hides the fluctuation of spiritual energy so that others can't see through your cultivation. Try it out. If you have any doubts, you can ask me.”
What was the most important thing in the martial world?
Conceal!
The Qi Hiding Technique was a common technique. It could at most deceive cultivators who were one realm higher than oneself. In front of experts who were one realm higher than oneself, one's true cultivation could still be seen at a glance.
Ding! [The host has bestowed upon your disciple the secret Qi Holding Technique (Human Level Low-Grade). The reward is thirty times greater. You have received the secret Qi Holding Technique (Human Level High-Grade)!]
The Breath Holding Technique was an enhanced version of the Qi Holding Technique, and it could deceive cultivators who were two realms above him.
At the same time, it also had the miraculous effect of concealing one's aura. Once it was used at full strength, the subtle movements caused by breathing, heartbeat, and even blood flow would completely disappear.
It was a necessary secret technique for sneak attacks and hiding when traveling at home!
"Zhi Nu, after you learn the Qi Holding Technique, you can practice the Qi Holding Technique!”
Xiao Xuan did not hesitate at all. After learning the Breath Holding Technique, he immediately taught the secret technique to the young servant.
However, since it was a system reward, there was no reward this time.
"Hmm?"
The child slave who had just finished reading the cultivation method of the Qi Storage Technique suddenly frowned. Just as Xiao Xuan transmitted the new secret method to her, she suddenly had a very wonderful feeling.
His master was clearly right in front of him, but why couldn't he sense his master's aura?
It was as if…
His master had already merged with heaven and earth and disappeared without a trace.
