In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 240 Chaotic Sword Hall? Behold my Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin! (3K views, please subscribe!)

After dodging the rampaging sword cultivators, Su Yuan and Taibai Yuxi finally arrived at their destination.

That was a flying sword repair shop located on the third ring road of the Zhuxie University City.

The storefront is small, only about 300 square meters, and looks very dilapidated and neglected for many years.

Yes, that fits Su Yuan's stereotype of illegal cults—they're all a bunch of down-and-outs.

Su Yuan's eyes flashed, and he activated his Demon-Revealing Eye. Wisps of demonic energy seeped out from beneath the facade of the sword repair factory.

"Indeed, there is a hidden world underground."

Su Yuan understood.

He gave Taibai Yuxi a look, confirming that the place where the demonic energy was gathering was indeed this place, and immediately rode the Crimson Yuan Sword to fly over there.

Standing at the entrance of the sword repair factory, Su Yuan casually glanced at the signboard.

Chaotic Sword Hall.

The name sounds impressive, but unfortunately it doesn't match the dilapidated state of the shop, which looks like it could close down at any time.

But for some reason, Su Yuan felt that the name Chaotic Sword Hall sounded somewhat familiar.

I think I've heard of it somewhere before.

"Brother Su Yuan".

The white-haired loli tugged at Su Yuan's sleeve, her small face serious as she whispered:

"Let me tell you, the Chaotic Sword Hall was originally a righteous sect, and it even became an affiliated sect of the Demon-Slaying Sword Sect at one time."

"But due to some unforeseen circumstances, the Chaotic Sword Hall fell from grace and became demonic... The demonic energy on their bodies is extremely delicious."

Su Yuan was filled with awe:

"Oh? As expected, appearances can be deceiving. How could a mere sword repair factory have such a history?"

This made Su Yuan's heart flutter.

Regardless of how convoluted the process of Chaotic Sword Hall's fall from righteousness to demonic influence was, Su Yuan only wanted to know if this sect still possessed the core technology that had once been coveted by the Demon-Slaying Sword Sect.

If we can master this core technology, we can completely copy it and make it the main business of the Yuan Sect.

It's not impossible for them to get on the fast track of sect development and become an affiliated sect of the Demon-Slaying Sword Sect!
Sure enough, Taibai Yuxi is my lucky charm.

Of course, to find out the specifics, you'd have to go inside the sword repair shop and see for yourself.

Su Yuan took the white-haired loli's hand, gripped the Crimson Yuan Sword in his other hand, and walked into the gate of the Chaotic Sword Hall.

As soon as I entered, a young sword repairman, who looked to be under thirty and covered in dirt, immediately put down his work, looked up, and greeted me with a smile.
"Welcome to the Chaotic Sword Hall. Are you two here to have your flying swords serviced or...?"

As he spoke, the swordsmith finally saw the face of the newcomer, and his pupils suddenly dilated.

He stared intently at Su Yuan and Taibai Yuxi, and the lines he had recited countless times to attract customers suddenly stopped.

However, just a second later, the sword repairman's expression returned to normal, and he enthusiastically finished the second half of his speech.

While the sword repairman was observing Su Yuan, Su Yuan was also observing the other party.

With his peak Foundation Establishment cultivation, his entire body was overflowing with demonic energy, making him look like a demonic Foundation Establishment ancestor!

This made Su Yuan sigh inwardly, realizing that the Ten Immortals City was indeed a place where hidden talents resided, as even a mere sword cultivator possessed such formidable cultivation.

However, upon closer examination, the sword repairman may just be a facade, and his true identity is very likely the leader of the Chaotic Sword Hall!

Su Yuan said calmly:
"I want to get my flying sword serviced."

"However, the Crimson Origin Sword is a demonic flying sword, bloodthirsty and murderous. Can your sword repair factory handle it?"

The sword repairman glanced at the Crimson Yuan Sword in Su Yuan's hand, his eyes flickered slightly, and then he smiled:

"There are some, but there are really not many people who use demonic flying swords within the territory of the Demon Extermination Sword Sect."

"The maintenance materials are all in the basement. Would you like to come with me?"

"basement?"

Su Yuan frowned slightly.

If he wasn't mistaken, the headquarters of the Chaotic Sword Hall was located underground in the Sword Repair Factory. Why was this guy suddenly trying to lead him to the basement?

Could it be that they've set their sights on the Crimson Yuan Sword and are planning to lure me in and steal it by force?
hiss--

That Chaotic Sword Hall is too dark!

Su Yuan immediately had the idea of ​​taking a long-term view.

He's only just arrived in Shixian City and doesn't know much about the local gangs, so it's best not to put himself in danger.

Thinking of this, Su Yuan coughed lightly and said:

"Forget it, I'd rather not get my car serviced at that roadside shop and just spend the extra money at the Jianzi shop."

With that, Su Yuan pulled Tai Bai Yu Xi and prepared to leave.

But at that moment, the sword repairman, who had been all smiles just moments before, suddenly turned cold!
"My Chaotic Sword Hall is not a place you can come and go as you please!"

"Since you're here, stay!"

The next second, the iron gate of the sword repair factory slammed down, blocking Su Yuan's escape route.

The already dimly lit sword repair factory became even colder after losing its external light source, with only the Crimson Yuan Sword emitting a faint red glow in the darkness.

The red light illuminated the swordsmith's cold gaze.

His gaze was fixed on Su Yuan, as if he were looking at a mortal enemy.

Su Yuan: "..."

Good grief, I just came in to ask about the price, and they're already planning to rip me off?

The local gangs are incredibly rude!
Fortunately, before entering the store, Su Yuan had already sent some of the cyber brothers of the Myriad Soul Banner into the local spirit network.

If things go wrong, you can call the police immediately. As for why you don't call the police immediately?

Of course, it's because Su Yuan still harbors some thoughts of double-crossing.

If he were to report the Chaotic Sword Hall, he wouldn't get any benefits at all.

Su Yuan remained calm and said proudly:
"Friend, you think I'm easy to bully because I'm from out of town, right?"

"But unfortunately, you've offended the wrong person! Do you even know who I am?"

The first move: Use your power to intimidate others!

Su Yuan is no longer that poor orphan, but a disciple of Tai Bai Baiji, and has Tai Bai Yu Xi as his life-saving treasure.

In the Exorcising Demons Zone, he didn't believe anyone would dare disrespect their master.

The sword repairman sneered:
"You? Aren't you Su Yuan? Who else could you be?"

Su Yuan: "???"

Dude, how did you know my name?
Has my reputation spread this far?

And you already know who I am, yet you still dare to attack me... Could it be that you have a Nascent Soul True Monarch as your backer?!

Then the sword repairman said coldly:
"I have been plotting here for many years, all for the day when I can take revenge on Taibai Tianji!"

"I just didn't expect that instead of waiting for Tai Baiji, he was greeted by his disciple and daughter."

"Leaving aside a girl who is only ten years old, Su Yuan! You should bear the consequences of what your master did back then!"

Su Yuan: "..."

He was sweating a little.

No, where did they get him?!
He quickly looked down at Taibai Yuxi, only to see the white-haired loli saying earnestly:

"Brother Su Yuan, look at this! The Chaotic Sword Hall is utterly lawless; they're actually plotting revenge against us!"

"I'll strike first, bringing you along to take them down, catching them completely off guard. Isn't that great?"

Su Yuan was speechless.

That's right, the swordsmith on the other side was indeed caught off guard, but I was caught off guard even more!
But there's no point in saying all this now; let's think about how to deal with the person in front of us.

Su Yuan took a deep breath and said sincerely:
"My friend, please calm down. Let's talk things out."

“I don’t know what the conflict is between you and my teacher, but if we can talk things out, I might be able to help my teacher resolve it.”

"It's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester, right?"

The sword repairman snorted coldly:
"How much determination did you have to say such a thing to resolve the conflict? You have no idea how much damage Tai Baiji has caused me."

After a pause, the sword repairman said through gritted teeth:

"Back then, my Chaotic Sword Hall was one of the official flying sword modification factories of the Demon-Slaying Sword Sect, with a promising future."

"In order to take things to the next level, my father hired Tai Baiji as the spokesperson for the Chaotic Sword Hall at a high price."

"As a result, shortly after Tai Baiji became the spokesperson, Luan Jian Tang's modification business began to make frequent mistakes."

"The biggest blow to the Chaotic Sword Hall came from a flying sword competition seven years ago. During the competition, the flying swords that we had painstakingly modified suffered a major malfunction on the field."

"That flying sword shot out of the arena and injured a total of eighty-one people, making it the worst accident in the Divine Sword Cup in nearly twenty years."

"From then on, my Chaotic Sword Hall never recovered. It was banned from using modified equipment in competitions and was expelled from the Demon-Slaying Sword Sect... In the end, it went bankrupt completely, and the huge debt forced my father to flee to the Star Sea."

The sword repairman grew increasingly angry, his fists clenched tightly, and he growled at Su Yuan:
"But who in the world knows that the fault lies not with our Chaotic Sword Hall, but with Tai Bai Tianji!"

Su Yuan: "..."

After listening to the swordsmith's explanation, he finally understood why the name "Chaotic Sword Hall" sounded familiar.

Because this was one of the Sword Sects that the system notification mentioned when I first met Taibai Baiji was destroyed by Taibai Sword Demon!

Blaming the sect's failures entirely on a single spokesperson sounds like a fit of impotent rage.

But if the spokesperson is Taibai Baiji, then everything makes sense.

No wonder the Sword Repair Guild is so angry.

He fell from a second-generation immortal to a sword maker, only to watch helplessly as his enemy rose to prominence, unsure when he could finally take revenge.

This is practically the template for a main character!

No wonder the sword repairman wasn't afraid of his background.

Even if my own teacher comes in person today, I can't complain about getting a beating.

Taibai Yuxi, you idiot! You only said that Luanjiantang was a demonic sect that turned from righteous to demonic, but you didn't say why they turned from righteous to demonic, did you?
You're such a rip-off!
"Su Yuan! Since you have enjoyed the benefits of being a disciple of Tai Bai Tianji, you should bear the sins of Tai Bai Tianji!"

The sword repairman roared angrily:
"I want you to work day and night at our sword repair factory during this three-month summer vacation!"

"I'll pay you the minimum wage every day! I'm going to make you experience all the hardships I went through to support my sister's schooling after the Chaotic Sword Hall went bankrupt!"

As he spoke, he slammed a wrench he was holding onto the ground.

With the signal of a wrench being swung, a rumbling sound echoed from underground in the sword repair factory, and one after another, sword repairmen wielding modified flying swords emerged from the ground, numbering more than twenty.

They were burly men with bare, strong upper bodies, clearly skilled sword repairmen who had worked in the trade for many years.

"Su Yuan, I advise you to surrender obediently, otherwise don't blame me if I accidentally hurt you."

The young swordsmith in the lead chuckled coldly, casually picking up a sword blank, exuding a demonic aura.

Seeing this, Su Yuan knew that things wouldn't end well today.

He sighed helplessly:

"Since you insist on detaining me, I have no choice but to fight back."

Having said that, Su Yuan pointed one finger to the sky and murmured:
"Kingdom's Deadly Move! Ten Thousand Swords Return to One!"
