People are in the heavens, starting as Li Xingyun

Chapter 371: Treasures have spirits, choose their own masters

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

While the gods in heaven were busy everywhere because of Fuxi's orders, half a month had passed in the human world due to the time difference.

Deep inside the Shushan Sect, the Shushan elders, led by the Drunken Swordsman Situ Zhong, all stood solemnly on a towering altar. What came into view were three stone statues that were hundreds of feet tall, representing the Three Sovereigns and Ancestor Gods of the ancient times.

Emperor Fuxi is located in the center, with Nuwa and Shennong standing on the left and right. From a distance, they look so majestic that people can't help but want to worship them.

Right below the three stone statues is a high platform called the Three Emperors Platform, which was originally an altar used by the Shushan Sect to place the three sacred artifacts.

But at this moment, there are only two artifacts on the altar, the Shennong Ding and the Nuwa Blood Jade, but the Fuxi Sword, which has the most powerful attack power, is missing. This is also the reason why Jiujianxian and others came here.

"are you sure?"

The Drunken Swordsman frowned and looked at the elder who was usually in charge of looking after the Three Emperors Platform, his tone was intriguing.

"Yes, I can confirm that the Fuxi Sword left the Three Emperors Platform on its own and flew directly into the void near the Demon Locking Tower."

The elder nodded, then said hesitantly, "Brother Situ, do you think the Fuxi Sword is destined for the Jie Tian Sect Leader? Because the Heaven Realm knew that he wanted to seize the Demon Locking Tower, His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven showed his divine power and controlled the Fuxi Sword across the realm to behead him."

“I think so too!”

The Dongxu Realm elder who had the most irritable temper snorted coldly, and then showed a sarcastic smile: "The Fuxi Sword is extremely powerful. It can move heaven and earth and shake the six realms. No matter how powerful that madman is, he can't resist the power of the Fuxi Sword. Maybe he has died in the Demon Locking Tower and been eaten by the monsters."

"Great elder, that's a good point. I think so too."

"If it was really His Majesty the Emperor who took action personally, there is naturally no other possibility."

"It makes sense!"

……

The other Shushan elders also echoed them. It was not that they were trying to please the elder in the Dongxu Realm, or to flatter the Emperor of Heaven, but that was the fact. When the Fuxi Sword was wielded, not to mention the cultivators in the human world, even the immortals and demons who had ascended to heaven would find it difficult to resist. How could the Jie Tian Sect Leader survive?
The Drunken Swordsman felt the same way, but he still frowned and asked a point that everyone overlooked: "If the Fuxi Sword really killed that person, then why hasn't it returned to the Three Emperors Platform after so long?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent. Several Shushan elders looked at each other, all of them at a loss. Suddenly, a not-so-good guess came to their minds.

“Buzz buzz————!!!”

At this moment, a deafening buzzing sound suddenly came from the air. Jiu Jianxian and others were startled at first, and subconsciously looked at the source of the fluctuation, only to see that the Demon Locking Tower more than ten miles away suddenly trembled, and then seven rays of light burst out from it, forming the shape of a spoon of the Big Dipper in the sky that was obviously not dim.

The bright starlight sprinkled down, and the entire Demon Locking Tower seemed to be covered with a layer of glory.

Then, in everyone's surprised gaze, the Demon Locking Tower, which had stood on Mount Shu for thousands of years, rose from the ground. Endless earth energy was drawn out, and poured into the Demon Locking Tower continuously.

Another buzzing sound was heard, and the Demon Locking Tower continued to shrink, eventually turning into a half-foot-tall exquisite little tower, which was steadily caught by a white, slender hand.

"The Demon Locking Tower is really..."

The Drunken Swordsman and the Shushan elders came through the air and stared in amazement at the location where the Demon Locking Tower had originally been. There was a huge hole that appeared. Then they looked at Shen Suixin who was floating in the air, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Wait! That's the Fuxi Sword!"

The elder who was in charge of guarding the Three Emperors Platform exclaimed, and the other elders came to their senses and saw the golden sword in Shen Sui Xin's other hand, which was the Fuxi Sword, one of the three sacred artifacts.

As if it heard someone calling its name, the Fuxi Sword trembled noticeably, and then it began to tremble wildly. The sword energy surged wildly, as if it wanted to add a few holes to someone's body.

Pili Pili!! Balabala!!
With the surge of lightning, the tempering of flames, and the suppression of the demon-slaying sword intent, the Fuxi Sword became obedient in an instant, like a kitten being bullied by a large dog.

Upon seeing this scene, the elders of Shushan Sect felt bad instantly.

All they can say is that although they had guessed the beginning, they failed to guess the ending. Who could have thought that a cultivator in the human world could violently suppress the sword of the Emperor Fuxi, and it seemed quite easy.

Come to think of it, since you are so awesome, why don’t you ascend to heaven sooner? What is there to linger in the human world?
"Hey! You're all here! How's it going? Have you eaten today?"

Using the mini Demon Locking Tower, Shen Sui Xin knocked on the already wilted Fuxi Sword. He seemed to have just seen everyone and raised his eyebrows to greet them.

"Thank you for your concern, Master Shen. We are in good health, but we are not in a good mood."

The Drunken Swordsman rolled his eyes, then his gaze stopped at the Demon Locking Tower in Shen Suixin's hand, and said with a complicated expression: "I didn't expect that the leader actually controlled the Demon Locking Tower. This is really beyond the Taoist's expectations."

"It's OK. I was quite surprised. The process was smoother than I thought. Maybe this treasure is meant to be with me."

Shen Sui Xin smiled and put the Demon Locking Tower into the system space without further explanation. He also took out the remaining half of Dugu Yuyun's soul and gave it to the Drunken Sword Immortal, saying, "Now that you have the deposit, the remaining half of the soul will be returned to its original owner. I would like to give you a friendly suggestion: you'd better not rush to reunite the two of them. Ask their opinions first. You may get a pleasant surprise."

When the Drunken Swordsman heard this, he was stunned for a moment, but then he seemed to have thought of something and nodded again, saying seriously: "Thank you for your reminder, Master. I would like to thank you again on behalf of my brother."

"You're welcome. This is a deal after all. I still have 20% of your Shushan resources to take. This is considered free after-sales service."

Shen Sui Xin waved his hands, indicating that he was not grateful for the great favor, with an appearance of "hiding his merit and fame", completely forgetting that it was he who beat Dugu Yuyun into his current state, and making several Shushan elders opposite him so angry that their faces turned red and they glared at him.

In other words, they knew they couldn't win, otherwise they would definitely teach the other party a lesson today.

The corner of Drunken Swordsman's mouth twitched. He always felt that every time he saw Shen Sui Xin, he would be shocked by the other party's constantly refreshing shamelessness and bottom line.

Fortunately, he had experienced many ups and downs, and soon regained his composure. After the other elders secretly urged him, he coughed and said, "Ahem! Well, Master Shen, resources are easy to deal with, but the Fuxi Sword..."

"What Fuxi Sword? Did Brother Situ drink too much today and start talking nonsense?"

Shen Suixin's eyes widened, he raised the golden sword in his hand and said righteously: "This sword is a treasured sword passed down from my family, it's just an ordinary mainland item, and it has nothing to do with the Fuxi Sword, one of the three sacred weapons of your Shushan!"

"Master Shen, my Shushan Sect has worshipped the Fuxi Sword for thousands of years. Do you think we could have made a mistake?!"

"That's hard to say. There's always a chance that something might go wrong."

Shen Sui Xin smiled, suppressed the Fuxi Sword which was gradually losing its strength to struggle, pointed to the Three Emperors Platform in the distance, and kindly suggested: "How about this, it is said that artifacts have spirits and will resonate with each other, you bring the remaining two artifacts here, let me check them." "If you are sure that this is really the Fuxi Sword, I will naturally return it with both hands, but if not... let me take those two artifacts back as compensation for your slander of me out of thin air and study them for a while."

"Don't worry, I'm just doing research. I'm definitely not trying to take it for myself. I'll return it as soon as I'm done."

"..."

The Drunken Swordsman was so upset that he wanted to slap the other person's shameless face.

It’s a pity that I can’t draw it.

To tell you the truth that you may not like to hear, since Shen Sui Xin was able to subdue the two magical artifacts, the Demon Locking Tower and the Fuxi Sword, without any damage, it would be too easy for him to destroy the Shushan Sect.

Not to mention now, even if Dugu Yuyun recovered to his peak and united all the elders and the entire sect, he would probably lose more than he wins. What the hell is this?

What he could think of, the other Shushan elders could almost think of as well. When they looked at each other, they could see the bitterness in their expressions.

They really had not imagined that the Shushan Sect, which had always been the leader of the righteous way in the world, would one day encounter such a predicament. They were blocked at their doorstep and two magical artifacts were taken for free, but they could not even muster up the courage to ask for them back. They did not know what to say for a moment.

It was said that good will prevail over evil. Why did this happen? Is justice late?
"Fellow Daoist Situ, please say something!"

Shen Suixin saw the people struggling below, and a gloating smile appeared on his face. He seemed to be eager to try and said: "Hurry up and bring the artifact over. Shen is still waiting to prove his innocence!"

"Hahaha... Master Shen, you are too serious. How could I doubt your character? I was just joking."

The Drunken Swordsman pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing a smile that was sadder than bitterness: "Maybe I saw it wrong just now, this sword is indeed not the Fuxi Sword, it just looks a bit similar."

"Oh! Are you sure!"

"Of course!"

The Drunken Swordsman was afraid that Shen Suixin was going to set a trap again, so he quickly said, "I have been in Shushan Sect for more than 40 years, and I go to Sanhuangtai every day to hang out. There is no way I can make a mistake. The most important thing is that I believe in the character of Master Shen. You are definitely not the kind of shameless person who takes someone else's things and doesn't acknowledge them. So what you are holding is definitely not the Fuxi Sword, and it has nothing to do with Shushan Sect."

"..."

Shen Sui Xin raised his eyebrows. Although the words sounded nice, he still felt offended.

But it doesn’t matter, he has already remembered this grudge, and there will be plenty of opportunities to get back at him in the future!
"Well, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, it's time to pay the balance of the transaction."

At this point, Shen Sui Xin's mouth curled up slightly, and he was obviously in a very good mood. In contrast, Shu Shan was gloomy and sad, forming a sharp contrast.

About a quarter of an hour later, in the Shushan Secret Realm, under the leadership of an elder from the Wanxiang Realm, Shen Sui Xin walked unsteadily towards a tall tower with a step that ignored all relatives.

His arrogant look really deserved a beating, and the Shushan disciples around who had seen Shen Sui Xin gritted their teeth tightly, wishing they could use sword-wielding skills to kill him on the spot.

But because they couldn't defeat them, this scene was destined to never come into reality. They could only imagine it in their minds, which made them feel a little better.

Behind Shen Sui Xin, Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing, who had been released by him, covered their mouths and laughed secretly. They loved it the most when their masters bullied others.

As for Zhao Linger, who inherited the kindness of Nuwa's bloodline...

It can only be said that birds of a feather flock together. Although they do not have a too close relationship on weekdays, under the influence of daily life, this descendant of Nuwa, who is about to turn seven, has gradually shown a tendency to grow up in the wrong direction.

Looking at Shen Sui Xin's arrogant and tall back, she didn't feel uncomfortable. Instead, her eyes were full of stars and admiration. She thought that if she became stronger in the future, she would definitely be as majestic as Brother Ahao!
"Eh! Weird, I walked so arrogantly that even I couldn't stand it, but no one jumped out to pick a fight and give me a chance to show off and get slapped in the face."

After walking for a while, Shen Suixin glanced at the Shushan disciples who were gritting their teeth and sighed sincerely: "It seems that the Shushan Sect's style is still very mature. That's right, after all, it is a major sect that holds the reins in the cultivation world. People with average IQs should not be able to enter here."

Shushan disciples: "..."

Although, I'm still really angry!
"Haha! Master Shen is joking."

The Shushan elder who led the way laughed awkwardly a few times, then quietly quickened his pace. After a while, he brought Shen Sui Xin and his party to the Shushan Treasure Pavilion.

According to the elder, this is one of the forbidden areas of Shushan used specifically for storing supplies. From the outside, it looks similar to the Demon Locking Tower, a nine-story tower with a different world inside. It was laid out according to the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams by successive Shushan sect leaders. The space has infinite changes, and there are countless gates of life and death.

Perhaps it is not as dangerous as the Demon Locking Tower, but on normal days, without the permission of the sect leader, even an elder in the Void Realm like Situ Zhong would find it difficult to enter and exit safely.

Dugu Yuyun, who had been torn apart, was still in an autistic state and unable to utter the mantra, but Shen Sui Xin had already known it through soul searching.

Of course, it doesn’t matter even if he doesn’t know. How could the restrictions set up by a bunch of guys who are not even celestial beings possibly stop Shen Sui Xin?

Just like that, under the gaze of the Shushan elder who was as if the leader was dead, Shen Sui Xin brought Xiao Bai and the other two girls like devils entering a village. No matter whether it was the Gate of Life and Death or the Changes of the Eight Diagrams, they all smashed it open with violence. The control of strength was so subtle that there was no damage to the natural treasures placed inside. Then they put them into the system space without any hesitation.

What! You said you would only take 20%?
Don't be funny, that was something Shen Sui Xin agreed to half a month ago, what does it have to do with Shen Sui Xin now?

"Phoenix Blood and Phoenix Heart Stone... Hmm! It looks good. I can tell at first glance that it's meant for a handsome guy like me."

"The Nine Cold Ice Crystal Tower is so effeminate and looks fragile. I'm not interested."

"Fixing Beauty Pill? This is okay. I can use it to seduce... ahem, attract powerful female monks to serve me. Hey! What are you looking at? Don't you trust your husband?"

"Purple and green swords? Really? Hey! Old man over there, does your Shushan sect have a female disciple named Li Yingqi... No? Then forget it!"

"Innate Gengjin Qi... What the hell is that? It's an eyesore. Take it away!"

"Dragon Scale Black Armor, not bad! This thing sounds like it belongs to the strong. It just so happens that I don't have a set of cool armor yet, so I'll take it!"

"Red Snow Flowing Pearl Pill? It tastes a bit sweet. Xiaoqing, take it and eat it like candy beans!"

"Eh! Weird! When did this Nine Cold Ice Crystal Tower come into my hands? I clearly remember not taking it!"

"I understand. Treasures have spirits and will choose their own masters. That must be the case!"
