A Youngster, Do You Want to Turn the Tables Against the Wind?

"I never imagined Esteemed Immortal would have such a preference. This Old Woman can only put on a disgraceful display."

Grandma Golden Flower blushed deeply as she spoke.

She then stood up and began dancing an eye-searing dance.

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

"Not at all." Li Zhōujūn replied with a smile.

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

"Not bad." Li Zhōujūn stroked his chin and nodded. "How did you meet the Blood Ancestor?"

Grandma Golden Flower said, "In response to Esteemed Immortal, it was the Blood Ancestor's clone who found me back then. He forced me to submit through sheer force and made me help him raise the Demonic Beast. I imagine this Demonic Beast is the physical body he prepared. Once it takes shape, his clone can attach itself to it and walk the mortal world for a long time, bringing disaster to one region after another."

"I see. I'll give you a chance. Submit to me." Li Zhōujūn grinned.

Although Grandma Golden Flower had committed every imaginable evil and truly deserved death,

Li Zhōujūn did not possess the strength to kill her. He might as well take advantage of the lingering might from his recent clash with the Blood Ancestor and have Grandma Golden Flower work for him. It would also be a good opportunity to test exactly what the Oath Array rewarded by the system could do.

When Grandma Golden Flower saw that Li Zhōujūn had no intention of killing her, joy instantly filled her heart. Living was all that mattered. The higher people's cultivation reached, the more they cherished their own lives.

After all, everything had been hard-won. Once they died, it would all be gone.

Thus, Grandma Golden Flower readily said to Li Zhōujūn, "This Old Woman is willing to submit to Esteemed Immortal and serve you loyally!"

"Wait." Li Zhōujūn interrupted Grandma Golden Flower. With one hand, he summoned a formation, then struck it through the air. The formation immediately sank into Grandma Golden Flower's chest.

"Swear your oath now. This is the Oath Array. If you dare violate your oath, you'll suffer the wrath of five thunderbolts." Li Zhōujūn grinned.

Although Grandma Golden Flower felt displeased, she did not dare contradict a True Immortal. She immediately swore, "This Old Woman swears here and now to wholeheartedly serve Esteemed Immortal. Should I violate this oath, may Heaven strike me with five thunderbolts!"

"Not bad." Li Zhōujūn smiled and nodded. "Tell me, are you certain you killed that disciple of my Dao Tian Sect?"

"Actually, I haven't. When that disciple of your honored sect broke in, the Demonic Beast had already formed its cocoon, so this Old Woman merely detained him." An embarrassed look appeared on Grandma Golden Flower's face.

"Then that's good." Li Zhōujūn nodded, then looked at Murong Xue. "Don't go running around by yourself next time. Someone won't come to rescue you every time."

"Uh..." Murong Xue was rendered speechless by Li Zhōujūn's tone, which sounded as though he were lecturing a child.

But after thinking carefully about what Li Zhōujūn had said, she realized it did make sense.

So Murong Xue nodded. "I understand. I won't do it again."

"Good girl." Li Zhōujūn smiled.

[ Ding: An Heaven-defying Destiny Holder has been detected three hundred thousand li from the host. The system has issued a mission: the host must lend them a helping hand! A reward will be granted!]

[Heaven-defying Destiny Holder]: Villain!

Seeing the system's words, Li Zhōujūn froze.

Good grief, is the system trying to make me the villain's old grandpa?

Isn't this pushing me into a pit of fire?

Thus, without even thinking, Li Zhōujūn refused. "I don't dare. Even if you beat me to death, I wouldn't dare. Anyone who opposes the protagonist ends up miserable!"

[ Ding: 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!]

"Damn, don't do that! I'll accept, all right?"

Hearing the system sound like a wronged young wife, Li Zhōujūn could only reply helplessly. Of course, he was genuinely afraid that the system would run away. That would be awkward.

[ Ding: Please hurry there, or this person is going to jump off a cliff. At that point, the host's mission will be judged a failure. Of course, host, don't be timid. Even if the protagonist grows powerful, he'll only be fifty-fifty with you.]

Li Zhōujūn: "..."

The world was fickle, with the large intestine wrapped around the small intestine. It seemed he would have to walk this road all the way into the darkness.

Can't find the book by searching its title? Try searching for the author instead. Maybe the title was changed!

Li Zhōujūn then looked at Murong Xue. "Later, go with Grandma Golden Flower to find your disciple. I suddenly have something to deal with. Oh, right, I'm leaving that Demonic Beast to you. Something like that absolutely must not be allowed to survive."

"All right, don't worry." Murong Xue agreed.

As Li Zhōujūn was about to turn and leave, Murong Xue called out to him, "Be careful on the way."

"Sure, got it." Li Zhōujūn smiled.

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

When Grandma Golden Flower and Murong Xue saw the flying sword Li Zhōujūn had summoned, both of them were utterly stunned.

A Ninth-grade Flying Sword!

Li Zhōujūn really was a True Immortal!

So he had been hiding his true ability all along.

Murong Xue smiled bitterly, but still intended to keep Li Zhōujūn's secret for him.

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

Li Zhōujūn glanced at her. "Do whatever you're supposed to do. But if you dare commit any wicked, heaven-defying acts, I'll kill you with one sword."

"This Old Woman understands!" Grandma Golden Flower hurriedly replied, not daring to be the slightest bit negligent.

Li Zhōujūn then mounted the flying sword and left the area.

There was naturally no need to elaborate on the speed of a Ninth-grade Flying Sword.

A distance of three hundred thousand li took no more than a few breaths.

When Li Zhōujūn arrived according to the system's coordinates,

he saw a young man standing at the edge of a cliff. He sat there alone, drinking wine and muttering to himself:

"I never imagined that I, the eldest son of the Yīn family, would end up with my household destroyed and my family dead.

"That Yè Tiānmíng not only wiped out my entire Yīn family, but also crippled my manhood. Even my younger sister died with her heart set on following him.

"He even joined the Kaishan Sect and became a True Disciple of the Kaishan Sect. I no longer have any chance of turning things around. It's utterly laughable. All I did back then was mock him a few times. What meaning is there in staying alive now?"

"Youngster, do you want to turn the tables against the wind?"

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

"Who? Who's speaking?!" Upon hearing this, the young man surnamed Yīn rose in alarm. But then he suddenly smiled bitterly. "Forget it. Whoever it is, I'm going to die anyway. What's there to be afraid of?"

"What, are you truly willing to take this humiliation with you into death, while letting your younger sister continue living beside the murderer of your father, playing the virtuous wife and loving mother?"

Li Zhōujūn continued.

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

The young man surnamed Yīn clenched his fists, his face filled with unwillingness.

Thump!

The young man surnamed Yīn fell to his knees and said reverently, "I, Yīn Zhìháng, beseech Senior to show yourself and teach me how to take revenge!"

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

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

"Esteemed Immortal, please accept me as your disciple!"

When Yīn Zhìháng saw this, his expression became agitated. The young man before him was definitely a powerful existence beyond the Golden Core Realm. Even when facing the Kaishan Sect's elder—the Golden Core Realm expert who was Yè Tiānmíng's master—he had never felt such oppressive pressure!

This was a heaven-sent opportunity. He absolutely had to seize it!

"I'm not accepting disciples at present. But since I find you rather pleasing to the eye, I can teach you a technique." Li Zhōujūn smiled.

"Please impart the technique to me, Esteemed Immortal, and let me take revenge!"

Upon hearing this, Yīn Zhìháng hurriedly spoke. Although he had failed to become a disciple, the technique taught by such a powerful expert was certainly no ordinary thing!
