"Oh?" Ke Zhenyi said in some surprise. "Different flames? That would indeed be a very promising direction."
"Could it work?"
"I think it should," Ke Zhenyi said. "Then did the God-Slaying Flame have any effect back then?"
Huang Xiao fell silent for a moment.
"No effect?"
"No, it did have an effect," Huang Xiao said.
"Then it was very faint, or even you yourself aren't quite certain," Ke Zhenyi said.
Huang Xiao said nothing more.
Ke Zhenyi was not wrong.
He did not know whether it had actually worked; he could not be certain.
Yet deep down, he still believed this direction was surely right.
"Different flames-it would clearly take those powerful, wondrous ones," Ke Zhenyi said, glancing at Huang Xiao. "It seems this precious saber of yours really is extraordinary, to need a different flame like the God-Slaying Flame before it shows any response. Where did you get this saber? Hmm? Could Kui Yong have left it behind?"
Before Huang Xiao could answer, Ke Zhenyi continued on his own. "That makes sense. Kui Yong was a Demon General back then, after all. The precious saber he used was clearly no ordinary weapon. After so many years, it's perfectly normal for it to have developed a powerful saber soul. Huang Xiao, I have to say, I'm terribly envious of you. Not only did you obtain Kui Yong's cultivation methods, you also got his precious saber. Oh, and surely other good things as well."
"Ahem, could we talk more about different flames?" Huang Xiao asked with a light cough.
Ke Zhenyi knew this was not the time to talk about such things. Huang Xiao's thoughts were clearly focused entirely on how to restore the saber soul.
"Since you think the God-Slaying Flame worked, we need to find different flames like that,"
