"I didn't expect an Esteemed Immortal to have such peculiar tastes. This old woman can only make a fool of herself."

Grandma Golden Flower said, her old face blushing.

Then she stood up and began to perform a cringeworthy dance.

"Li Zhōujūn, do you like this kind of thing?" Murong Xue asked, her mouth twitching.

"No," Li Zhōujūn replied with a smile.

"Esteemed Immortal, how was my dance?" Grandma Golden Flower asked Li Zhōujūn, her old face flushed, after finishing her dance.

"You danced well," Li Zhōujūn said, stroking his chin and nodding. "How do you know the Blood Ancestor?"

Grandma Golden Flower replied, "To answer the Esteemed Immortal, the Blood Ancestor's clone found me back then and forced me to submit through sheer force. He also made me help him raise a demonic creature. I suspect this demonic creature is the body he prepared. Once the demonic creature is formed, his clone can then attach itself to it and walk the human world for a long time, causing harm."

"I see. Here's an opportunity for you: surrender to me," Li Zhōujūn said with a grin.

Although Grandma Golden Flower had committed many evil deeds and deserved to die, Li Zhōujūn did not have the strength to kill her. It would be better to use the residual power from his recent fight with the Blood Ancestor to make Grandma Golden Flower work for him, and it would also be a good chance to test the Oath Array the System had rewarded him with.

Seeing that Li Zhōujūn had no intention of killing her, Grandma Golden Flower was overjoyed. Being alive was good enough. The more profound their cultivation, the more they cherished their lives.

After all, nothing came easily, and if they died, everything would be gone.

Thus, Grandma Golden Flower readily said to Li Zhōujūn, "This old woman is willing to surrender to the Esteemed Immortal and serve you with all her might!"

"Wait," Li Zhōujūn interrupted Grandma Golden Flower. He raised his hand, conjured a magic array, and struck it through the air. The array directly entered Grandma Golden Flower's chest.

"Now swear an oath. This is the Oath Array. If you dare to break it, you will suffer the wrath of heavenly lightning," Li Zhōujūn said with a grin.

Although Grandma Golden Flower was displeased, she dared not refuse when facing a True Immortal. She directly swore, "This old woman hereby swears to be loyal to the Esteemed Immortal with all her heart. If I break this oath, may heavenly lightning strike me!"

"Good," Li Zhōujūn said with a smile. "I ask you, have you confirmed the death of that disciple from my Dao Tian Sect?"

"Actually, not yet. When your sect's disciple broke in, the demonic creature had already formed a cocoon. So, this old woman merely detained him," Grandma Golden Flower said with an embarrassed expression.

"That's good," Li Zhōujūn nodded, then looked at Murong Xue and said, "Next time, don't wander around by yourself. Not everyone will come to save you every time."

"Uh..." Murong Xue was taken aback by Li Zhōujūn's scolding tone, as if he were talking to a child.

However, when she thought about Li Zhōujūn's words, they seemed to make sense.

So, Murong Xue nodded and said, "I understand. It won't happen again."

"Mm, good girl," Li Zhōujūn said with a smile.

[Ding: Detected a Heaven-defying Destiny Holder 300,000 miles away from the host. The System issues a mission: the host provides assistance to them! Rewards will be obtained!]

[Heaven-defying Destiny Holder]: Villain!

Seeing the System's message, Li Zhōujūn was stunned.

Good heavens, is the System trying to make me the old man who guides the villain?

Isn't this pushing me into a fiery pit?

So, Li Zhōujūn refused without a second thought, "I dare not! I'd rather die than dare! The fate of an opponent to the protagonist is always miserable!"

[Ding: Detected that the host has refused the System's mission. The System is very sad and is preparing to leave the host and run away from home!]

"Holy crap, don't do that! I accept, alright!"

Hearing the System sound like a wronged little wife, Li Zhōujūn could only say speechlessly. Of course, Li Zhōujūn was genuinely afraid the System would leave, which would be awkward.

[Ding: Please proceed as soon as possible, otherwise this person is about to jump off a cliff. At that point, it will be judged as a mission failure. Of course, host, don't be a coward. Even if the protagonist develops, they will only be evenly matched with you.]

Li Zhōujūn: "..."

Life is unpredictable, like a sausage wrapped in a large intestine. It seems I have to see this path through to the end.

If you can't find the book by its title, you can try searching for the author. Perhaps the name has just been changed!

Then, Li Zhōujūn looked at Murong Xue and said, "Later, you and Grandma Golden Flower go find your disciple. I suddenly have something to deal with. Oh, and that demonic creature is your responsibility. Such things must not be allowed to survive."

"Okay, don't worry," Murong Xue agreed.

As Li Zhōujūn prepared to turn and leave, Murong Xue called out to him, "Be careful on your way."

"Alright, I know," Li Zhōujūn said with a smile.

Then, Li Zhōujūn directly summoned the Ao Xue Flying Sword.

When Grandma Golden Flower and Murong Xue saw the flying sword Li Zhōujūn summoned, their expressions changed drastically.

A Ninth-grade Flying Sword!

Li Zhōujūn truly was a True Immortal!

It turned out Li Zhōujūn had been hiding his strength all along.

Murong Xue gave a wry smile but still intended to keep this secret for Li Zhōujūn.

At this moment, Grandma Golden Flower, seeing Li Zhōujūn about to leave, hurriedly asked, "Esteemed Immortal, what should I do from now on?"

Li Zhōujūn glanced at her. "Do whatever you were doing. But if you dare to do anything wicked, I will slay you with a single sword."

"This old woman understands!" Grandma Golden Flower said quickly, not daring to be negligent.

Next, Li Zhōujūn rode his flying sword and left the area.

The speed of a Ninth-grade Flying Sword goes without saying.

A journey of three hundred thousand li took only a few breaths.

When Li Zhōujūn arrived according to the System's coordinates.

He saw a young man standing by a cliff, sitting on the ground alone, drinking wine and muttering to himself:

"I never imagined that I, the eldest young master of the Yin family, would end up with my family destroyed and my home ruined.

That Yè Tiānmíng not only wiped out my Yin family but also crippled my vital parts. Even my sister wholeheartedly follows him.

He even joined the Kaishan Sect and became a True Disciple. I have no chance to turn things around. It's truly laughable. I only mocked him a few times back then. What's the point of me living now?"

"Young man, do you want to make a comeback?"

Just as the young man surnamed Yin was about to end his life, Li Zhōujūn, high in the sky, spoke.

"Who? Who's speaking?!" The young man surnamed Yin stood up in shock, but then gave a bitter smile: "Forget it, no matter who it is, I'm going to die anyway. What's there to be afraid of?"

"What, are you willing to die with this humiliation, and let your sister live by the side of your family's murderer, being a devoted wife and good mother?"

Li Zhōujūn continued.

"No, I'm not willing..."

The young man surnamed Yin clenched his fists, his face full of unwillingness.

Plop!

The young man surnamed Yin knelt on the ground and said piously, "Yīn Zhìháng begs Senior to reveal himself and teach me how to get revenge!"

"Hmm, having this thought is very good." Li Zhōujūn chuckled.

Then, before Yīn Zhìháng, a Sword Immortal standing on a flying sword descended gracefully from the sky.

"Please, Esteemed Immortal, take me as your disciple!"

Yīn Zhìháng's expression became excited. This young man before him was definitely a powerhouse beyond the Golden Core realm. Even when facing an Elder of the Kaishan Sect, that Golden Core realm expert, who was Yè Tiānmíng's master, he had never felt such pressure!

This was a golden opportunity, he had to seize it!

"This Seat is not taking disciples currently, but I find you quite agreeable, so I can teach you a technique." Li Zhōujūn said with a smile.

"Please, Esteemed Immortal, teach me the method and let me get revenge!"

Yīn Zhìháng said hurriedly. Although he didn't succeed in becoming a disciple, a technique taught by such a powerful expert would surely not be ordinary!
