Fang Jingchun told you that when he went back a few days ago, Sword Void had already been destroyed. Fortunately, he had come across Lin Tian, who was gravely injured.
After taking Lin Tian to the Immortal Falling Secret Realm to recuperate for two days and stabilize the Sinister Worm inside him, he returned to Tianqi Academy.
You waited for three days before Lin Tian finally woke up.
After waking, Lin Tian told you everything that had happened at Sword Pavilion.
More than half a year ago, Xia Qiange had asked the Sword Pavilion Master for help, saying that a mysterious person had entered the Blood Demon Secret Realm and injured her.
Then the person released the Sinister Worm beneath the Blood Tablet. She had fought back with all her might, but in the end, she was gravely wounded.
After returning to Sword Pavilion, the master had told him to take Xia Qiange to the Immortal Falling Secret Realm to recuperate while he handled the rest.
A few days ago, after seeing that Xia Qiange's injuries had improved, he had left the Immortal Falling Secret Realm alone and returned to Sword Pavilion.
When he arrived, he discovered that the master had been injured.
The master said his identity had been exposed and he could no longer stay at Sword Pavilion. He told him to go to Green Prefecture and find Fang Jingchun.
But just as he was about to leave, the enemy attacked. He was injured by the shock waves from the battle and eventually collapsed not far from Sword Pavilion.
You knew what had happened after that. Fang Jingchun had found him.
"Fifth Senior Sister, do you think the master might..."
Lin Tian looked at Gu Xinyue, but trailed off without finishing his sentence.
"Don't worry, Xiaotian. The master is stronger than we think. He'll be fine!"
Fang Jingchun nodded in agreement.
"Exactly! Since the master said his identity had been exposed, he definitely wouldn't stay in You Prefecture. He's most likely already gone to Central Prefecture."
After you got the whole story, you told everyone that you planned to return to Central Prefecture after a while and continue cultivating.
In the end, Gu Xinyue decided to go with you. With the Sinister Worms from the Blood Demon Secret Realm on the loose, she could no longer stay in You Prefecture.
That Sinister Worm definitely knew the identities of everyone from Sword Pavilion.
You looked toward Lin Tian, who let out a long sigh.
"I'll stay behind. Third Senior Sister is still in the Immortal Falling Secret Realm. I'll go with Sixth Senior Brother to bring her back."
Fang Jingchun offered his opinion.
"Xiaotian and I will look after Third Senior Sister. Junior Brother, you and Fifth Senior Sister should go to Central Prefecture and look for news of First Senior Sister and the master. Once we've taken care of things here, we'll come find you and join up."
After leaving Tianqi Academy, you told Gu Xinyue to return to Central Prefecture first. You had to make a trip to Desolate Village.
You hadn't been back in all these years, and you didn't know if Ye Chuxue was still there.
If she was still in Desolate Village, you wouldn't mind taking her along to Central Prefecture.
Right now, the Taiyin Body was an indispensable part of humanity's fighting strength. Everyone had to band together to resist the Sinister Worms.
As you neared Desolate Village, a black-clad man suddenly appeared in front of you.
You couldn't sense any cultivation on him; he seemed just like an ordinary mortal.
There were only two possible explanations. Either he was a mortal, or his cultivation was far beyond yours.
Given the circumstances, you were more inclined to believe the latter.
Fortunately, with True Sight, you learned his true identity.
Chu Wudi: Human Race Talent: Sword Dao Prodigy Cultivation: Mahayana Realm Spiritual Root: Top-grade Wind Spiritual Root
When you saw that he was in the Mahayana Realm, your heart sank.
What shocked you even more was that he wasn't a Sinister Worm. He was a living, breathing Mahayana cultivator—a human.
"Senior, why are you blocking my way?"
Chu Wudi sneered.
"I want the sword on your person!"
Hearing this, you immediately understood why he had come for you.
But you were also curious how he knew the Great Void Sword was on you.
"Senior, I don't know what you're talking about. What sword? I don't have one!"
"Kid, don't say I didn't give you a chance. Take out the Great Void Sword!"
Realizing you couldn't fool him, you had no choice but to take out the Great Void Sword and hand it over.
"Oh? You even managed to repair a small section of it. I really underestimated you."
"Now that Senior has the Great Void Sword, this junior will take his leave."
"I really was going to let you go once I got the Great Void Sword. But now I see you seem to have quite a few secrets."
Seeing the strange smile on his face, you thought, This is bad! and immediately used the Great Void Technique to escape.
But the next second, you discovered that no matter where you fled, he always found your landing point first.
Gradually, you fell into despair. You raced from place to place across Green Prefecture, but still couldn't escape his grasp.
In the end, you were powerless to resist and were captured.
Chu Wudi began to search your soul.
You died.
Ding! Simulation ended. Choose one of the following rewards. 1: The Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivation from this simulation 2: The cultivation of a Fourth-grade Alchemist 3: All the Pill Recipes comprehended in this simulation 4: All the spirit stones remaining in this simulation 5: All the insights gained in this simulation 6: The talent from this simulation: True Sight! 7: Great Void Sword Fragment ×1 8: Void Breaking Pill ×1
"Is Chu Wudi out of his mind? I gave him the Great Void Sword, and he still killed me?"
Su Ming looked at his final words in the simulation and couldn't help complaining.
How had he ended up on the radar of a Mahayana cultivator?
And hardly anyone knew he had the Great Void Sword. Only Gu Xinyue knew. The other person who knew, Wan Yemo, had died long ago.
Judging by Chu Wudi's clothes, Su Ming also suspected that he was the one who had released the Sinister Worms in the Blood Demon Secret Realm.
This simulation had given Su Ming a lot of useful information.
The events in the Great Zhou Dynasty and the destruction of Sword Pavilion had both sounded an alarm for him.
He wasn't only facing the Sinister Worms. There were also traitors among the humans.
What Su Ming knew so far was that, with or without Lin Qi's interference, Chu Wudi would destroy the Blood Demon Secret Realm twenty years from now.
And Chu Wudi would find him, too. Su Ming still didn't know how he had tracked him down.
Twenty years!
He had to reach the Mahayana Realm within twenty years if he wanted a chance to kill Chu Wudi.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the Simulator.
Simulation cooldown: Fifteen days!
While waiting for the Simulator to cool down, Su Ming planned to return to Green Prefecture.
First, he would kill Lin Qi before he could cause trouble. Second, he would bring Ye Chuxue to Central Prefecture so she could develop her abilities.
After going through these two simulations, he knew that relying on himself alone would be nowhere near enough to fight back against all this.
If he could help geniuses like Ye Chuxue and Zhou Lingxi grow, he would be in a much stronger position when the time came to fight the Sinister Worms.
Su Ming found Lin Tian and told him he was heading back to Green Prefecture.
