Zhu Xian: Get ten times the talent, the sword opens the gate of heaven

Chapter 402 Wan Jianyi: Do you have a way to save Dao Xuan who has fallen into demonic possession?
Listening to what Wan Jianyi said, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly said:
"But I've been in the Demonic Sect for eleven years, and even served as its vice leader. How can I possibly become the head of the Qingyun Sect?"

Wan Jianyi glared at Zhang Xiaofan and said:

"So what? It's precisely because you've been in the Demonic Sect for eleven years that you understand it better than anyone else. Only after becoming the leader of the Qingyun Sect will you be able to better contend with the Demonic Sect."

"As for the concern that he has been in the Demonic Sect for more than ten years and cannot take up the position of sect leader upon returning to Qingyun."

"I think you're overthinking it."

"You have no idea how high your prestige is among the Qingyun disciples now."

"You have no idea how significant your Taiqing realm is. Throughout history, only a handful of people have reached the supreme Taiqing realm."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaofan scratched his head and said:

"We'll discuss this matter later. Master Puhong at Yunhai Square is probably not going to make it. I'll go check on him to prevent any accidents from happening to Daoxuan Zhenren."

Upon hearing this, Wan Jianyi quickly replied:

"Yes, defeating the Beast God is the key. Don't worry, I'll protect the Immortal Execution Sword."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaofan pointed to the Illusion Moon Cave and said:

"Old Wan, you don't really think the Immortal Execution Sword is still inside the Illusion Moon Cave?"

"Where is it?" Wan Jianyi asked.

Zhang Xiaofan pointed to the mountain in front and said:
"Given Dao Xuan Zhenren's caution, he probably already anticipated that the Demonic Sect would send someone to destroy the Zhuxian Sword. He must have taken the Zhuxian Sword from the Illusion Moon Cave last night and had you guard it, so that he could use the Zhuxian Sword without any mishaps."

Upon hearing this, Wan Jianyi, drawing upon his understanding of Dao Xuan, suddenly realized and said:

“You’re right. I’ve always felt that Dao Xuan is the best candidate for the position of Qingyun Sect Leader, far better than me.”

At this point, Wan Jianyi stared at Zhang Xiaofan with admiration and said:
"You understand Daoxuan so well, which shows that you are just as cautious, steady, and meticulous as he is."

"No wonder that stubborn fellow Dao Xuan used to disregard ancestral teachings and make you, a disciple of Dazhu Peak, the next sect leader."

"You should know that he has always strictly adhered to the ancestral precepts and punishments of Qingyun, and has never transgressed them in the slightest."

Zhang Xiaofan waved his hand and said:

"Old Wan, I'm not going to say anything more. I need to keep an eye on things so that Dao Xuan can use the Immortal Execution Sword smoothly."

Upon hearing this, Wan Jianyi suddenly remembered something and said:
"Dao Xuan will become possessed by a demon after activating the Heavenly Secret Seal by using the Immortal Execution Sword. You're staring at him like you're watching him die..."

"This..." Zhang Xiaofan paused for a moment, it seemed that way, but then said:
"Perhaps, there might still be a way after one becomes possessed by a demon..."

After saying that, Zhang Xiaofan turned around and walked towards the path.

Azure Dragon and Youji followed behind.

Originally, Qinglong planned to return directly to the Ghost King Sect.

However, Mr. Ghost has already escaped and will surely return to the Ghost King Sect as soon as possible to report to the Ghost King that he has pledged his loyalty to the Ghost Emperor.

Given the Ghost King's ruthlessness and his understanding of the Ghost King over the past three hundred years, he would certainly not let him and his younger sister go.

Therefore, Qinglong no longer dares to return to the Ghost King Sect.

He planned to return with You Ji whenever Zhang Xiaofan returned.

Wan Jianyi watched Zhang Xiaofan's figure gradually disappear into the distance, then suddenly remembered something and quickly called out:

"What did you mean by saying just now, 'Perhaps there's still a way after becoming possessed by a demon'?"

Zhang Xiaofan did not answer, and his blood-soaked figure disappeared into the mountain path.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaofan did not answer, Wan Jianyi turned his gaze to Cangsong and asked:

"What do you think Xiao Fan meant by that?"

Cangsong thought for a moment and said, "Senior Brother Wan, in my opinion, is it possible that after Senior Brother Sect Leader falls into demonic possession, Zhang Xiaofan has a way to restore his sanity while preserving his life?"

"How is this possible?" Wan Jianyi quickly shook his head and said:
"After Master went mad after using the Zhuxian Sword, Daoxuan and I tried everything we could to restore his sanity, but we couldn't. We were forced to join forces to kill him."

"Moreover, Master only used the Zhuxian Sword. Dao Xuan, on the other hand, activated the Heavenly Secret Seal, and suffered a greater backlash from the Zhuxian Sword's malevolent energy."

"Back then, neither Dao Xuan nor I were able to restore Master's sanity, so how could Xiao Fan possibly restore Dao Xuan's sanity when he suffered even more severe backlash?"

Cangsong looked at Wan Jianyi, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something but couldn't bring himself to say it.

Upon seeing this, Wan Jianyi said:

"Speak your mind. Hesitation and indecisiveness are not your nature."

Cangsong said, "Senior Brother Wan, back then you and the Sect Leader were considered the two prodigies of Qingyun, but neither of you were able to save the previous generation's Sect Leader."

"But do you know that Zhang Xiaofan today is far stronger than you and your senior brother who was the sect leader back then? He has more magical treasures and more extraordinary skills."

"Maybe he really does have a way..."

Upon hearing this, Wan Jianyi's face lit up with joy. He patted Cangsong on the shoulder and said:

"Hey... now that you mention it, there's some truth to it."

"Dao Xuan toiled for the Qingyun Sect for hundreds of years, and in the end, he had to die as a demon for the sake of the Qingyun Sect and the people of the world... This result is indeed cruel."

"A kind and benevolent immortal in the hearts of the people should not have met such an end."

"Senior Brother Wan!"

Suddenly, Cangsong stared at Wan Jianyi with a solemn expression, as if this departure was a final farewell.

Wan Jianyi looked at Cangsong's expression and smiled, saying:
What's with that expression?

Cangsong suddenly hugged Wan Jianyi tightly for a few seconds, then released him, his expression full of guilt, and said:

“Senior Brother Wan, no more members of the Demonic Sect will come here. I will go to the front mountain first to slay demons and cleanse myself of my sins.”

Upon seeing this, Wan Jianyi waved his hand and said:
Go ahead, and be careful!

"Okay, I'm leaving now, Senior Brother Wan!"

After speaking, Cangsong turned around and stepped into the mountain path, his tall figure slowly disappearing into the forest...

Seeing Cangsong leave, Wan Jianyi remembered Zhang Xiaofan's words that the Zhuxian Sword should not be in the Illusion Moon Cave, so he turned around and walked towards the Illusion Moon Cave.

A few minutes later, Wan Jianyi's voice echoed within the Illusion Moon Cave:
"Dao Xuan, you're really cautious, you even fooled me!"

……

Cloud Sea Plaza, high in the sky!

"boom!"

Suddenly, a figure descended from the sky and crashed onto the Cloud Sea Square, smashing a beast demon to pieces.

The shockwave from the fall even sent nearby monsters flying.

"Cough cough..."

Master Puhong slowly stood up, coughing violently, his old eyes fixed on the enormous evil spirit in the air, and said:
"Amazing, amazing, truly amazing!"

At this moment, Dao Xuan Zhenren flew over and said with concern:
"Master Puhong, shall I do it?"

"No!" Master Puhong waved his hand, his hoarse voice ringing out:
"The Beast God hasn't really made a move yet, how can I retreat? Wouldn't that be too weak?"

"I have one last trick up my sleeve. If that doesn't work, then you can try!"
