Before, We Had No Choice; Now, We Just Want to Be Good People

The Way should not be lightly transmitted.

Liang Yi naturally had no intention of sharing what his master had told him with others. After saying this, he picked up his sword and headed straight for the next stone chamber, number 3.

This move naturally enraged many of the experts present.

When the master of the Four Ghosts of South Mountain saw the imprint, he subconsciously reached out to grab the little child wearing a mask, but was stopped by Old Ghost Fu.

"You unfilial disciple, why are you stopping me?"

The old man looked at his disciple with displeasure and asked.

"Master, you mustn't!"

Old Ghost Fu hurriedly said, "This person was born in a sacred land, and his master even suppressed one of the Five Elders of Heavenly Zen with a single sword strike."

Upon hearing this, the group of experts who had been about to make a move froze in place.

The strength of the Five Elders of Heavenly Zen was comparable to theirs. Even though they had cultivated in this secret chamber for a thousand years, they dared not say that they could suppress them with a single sword strike.

Moreover, they also remembered the other masked man; if a fight broke out, they wouldn't stand a chance.

Liang Yi was naturally aware of everyone's actions. Before he spoke, he had been holding a communication jade talisman in his hand, ready to call for his master if anyone dared to attack him.

Liang Yi stopped and said to the Four Ghosts of South Mountain, "You guys are quite sensible."

After saying this, he ignored the crowd and continued walking.

After exchanging glances, the Four Ghosts of South Mountain followed in Liang Yi's footsteps.

They refused to believe they couldn't learn from others.

This action naturally did not escape the notice of others, and many people followed behind the four.

Even if something happens later, the ones in danger will be the Four Ghosts of South Mountain.

Meanwhile, in the last stone chamber.

Shi Xuan was sitting cross-legged, beginning to comprehend the True Essence of the Great Dao. However, for some reason, even though his True Intent meaning had already reached its peak and he felt it was about to overflow, he still couldn't take that step.

rustle...

Footsteps came from outside, interrupting Shi Xuan's seclusion. He slowly opened his eyes and looked out of the stone chamber, where he saw Liang Yi standing outside with a smile.

"Master, my Perfection of Sword Intent."

Liang Yi said excitedly.

"Indeed, you have not disappointed me. Then why do you not continue your cultivation?"

Shi Xuan countered with a question.

Liang Yi scratched his head awkwardly. "Master, although my Sword Intent is perfected, achieving ultimate perfection is not something that can be done Yixi, so I would like to have some peace and quiet."

After hearing these words, Shi Xuan muttered to himself, "Perhaps I was too hasty?"

Having said that, he stood up. "You're right. The secret treasure will open in just one day. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have."

"Thank you, Master."

After Liang Yi finished speaking, he subconsciously glanced outside the stone chamber, and the next second, four shadows flashed past.

This scene naturally did not escape Shi Xuan's eyes, but he didn't care too much. Anyway, he wouldn't tell everyone the secrets of the hidden treasure, and these guys wouldn't care if he just gave them a basic explanation.

Liang Yi then began to recount all the doubts he had about his cultivation over the past few days.

Although his Sword Intent had reached perfection, Perfection of Sword Intent too quickly, giving him a sense of unreality.

Shi Xuan patiently answered each question for his disciples.

A day passed quickly.

The voice that everyone had heard earlier rang out again.

"The time for the esoteric practice has come. The exit will be open for one day. If anyone does not wish to leave, they may continue their practice within the esoteric chamber and await the next opening of the esoteric chamber."

Upon hearing this, Shi Xuan stood up and said to Liang Yi, "Let's go, we should head back. I also have some questions I'd like to ask your grandmaster."

"Um."

Liang Yi responded and followed Shi Xuan away.

Throughout the journey, the master and disciple were undoubtedly the focus of all the cultivators in the stone chamber.

However, most people only glanced at the two of them before continuing their cultivation.

Several hours later, Shi Xuan and his apprentice left the secret chamber. As soon as they emerged, they discovered that several people were following them.

This included the Four Ghosts of South Mountain, the Four Elders of Heavenly Zen, and Jin Xi's group; the remaining cultivators chose to stay in the secret realm.

Whether it was Jin Xi and the others, or the departure of the Four Elders of Heavenly Zen, Shi Xuan could understand why the Four Ghosts of South Mountain had also chosen to come out, which was somewhat different from their style.

Shi Xuan ignored the crowd and flew away on his sword with Liang Yi.

The Four Elders of Heavenly Zen breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that this terrifying fellow had finally left.

After leaving Heavenly Zen Mountain, Shi Xuan suddenly stopped, turned to look at the Four Ghosts of South Mountain who were following closely behind them, and asked in a cold voice, "What do you want?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Xi and his group, who had already parted ways with Shi Xuan and his apprentice, instinctively stopped and looked at the Four Ghosts of South Mountain.

Their faces were filled with curiosity. If it weren't for their fear of the masked man, they would have all wanted to ask, "Aren't these four old guys afraid of death?"

Old Ghost Fu spoke first, saying, "We are willing to become your lackeys, young master. Please take us in."

Their choice was not only to learn the secrets hidden within, but also to curry favor with Shi Xuan.

"Pooh!"

Liang Yi spoke first, "You all don't even know your place. You infamous demonic cultivators dare to associate with my master?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Xuan made no comment, simply watching the four of them quietly.

Old Ghost Fu said, "Young Master, we had no choice but to become demonic cultivators before. Now that we have the opportunity, we just want to be good people."

"Hehe."

Shi Xuan chuckled, "So, you really do have the intention to change your ways?"

"Of course, I hope you will give us a chance, young master," said Old Ghost Fu.

Shi Xuan laughed and said, "There is an opportunity, but although I am a first-rate Great Villain of Destiny, I am not the kind of person who indiscriminately kills innocent people. If you have too much blood on your hands, you will die."

???

Everyone present was stunned when they heard the words "the Great Villain of Destiny".

This was the first time they had ever heard someone claim to be the villain, but no one dared to ask a single question.

Old Ghost Fu continued, "I wonder what it would take for you, young master, to accept us?"

"Those who pass the Heart-Questioning Mirror in the Dao-Seeking City will be qualified to become my followers."

Shi Xuan was the eldest grandson of the Northern Wasteland Emperor. In his view, anyone who could be used by him was a good subordinate, provided that their bloodshed was not too heavy and they did not sell their souls to the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon.

Upon hearing this, the four thought to themselves: This is promising.

They immediately bowed respectfully and said, "We are willing to give it a try."

Let's go.

With that, Shi Xuan flew away on his sword.

"Promise."

After the Four Ghosts of South Mountain responded, they quickly followed Shi Xuan's footsteps.

Jin Xi watched Shi Xuan's departing figure and murmured, "When did the Dao-Seeking Academy produce such a righteous yet wicked prodigy?"
