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

Chapter 258 Feng Wuyai: The entire Demon-Slaying Sword Sect is composed of demonic cultivators! (3K views, please subscribe!)

Qi Hanyue is clearly not the type to lie.

Even though Feng Wuyai was already like a candle flickering in the wind, he could still hear the hesitation in the girl's words, which made his tone suddenly panic.

"You...you didn't really tell him about Wanlong Mountain, did you?"

"Why would someone as innocent as you associate with Su Yuan, a born demon?"

Seeing that she couldn't hide it any longer, Qi Hanyue said awkwardly:
"Um, Senior Feng, actually I am one of the eight hall masters under the Yuan Sect, and Su Yuan is my superior."

"Besides, he's much smarter than me. It's perfectly reasonable for me to ask him for advice when I encounter an opportunity."

Feng Wuyai: "..."

He realized he might have miscalculated.

The person who hired them was incredibly stupid; they're a menace by blurting out everything!

Logically speaking, when an opportunity arises, shouldn't one keep it a secret from everyone and secretly come looking for it alone?

After a long silence, Feng Wuyai finally sighed:

"You've really put me in a difficult position."

At the same time, Su Yuan, who had watched the whole thing from a short distance away, spoke coldly:
"Senior Feng, right? Now that you've already revealed your whereabouts, don't even think about retreating."

"Tell me, what is your purpose in instigating my classmate?"

"I advise you to confess obediently, or don't blame me for getting violent."

As they spoke, thousands of sword slaves, under Su Yuan's command, quickly surrounded the entire feng shui eye of Wanlong Mountain.

Before Feng Wuyai disappeared, no one could detect his presence, but now that he has revealed his true form, his location is no longer as impenetrable as before.

With Instructor Zhao's guidance, Su Yuan has learned the location of Feng Wuyai's true form.

It is hidden in an underground pool 100 meters below the feng shui eye of Wanlong Mountain. It relies on the feng shui power of the area to nurture its soul, which is why it has survived to this day.

Even if Feng Wuyai immediately moved his physical location, it would be too late.

If he dares to move, Instructor Zhao will dare to blast through a hundred meters underground and pull out his body.

Faced with Su Yuan's icy threat, Feng Wuyai fell silent.

A moment later, the soil layer at the feng shui eye bulged slightly, and then a pearl the size of an eyeball, glowing with a bluish light, emerged from the soil layer.

This is Feng Wuyai's true form.

To Su Yuan's surprise, even though he had seen Feng Wuyai in person, his Demon-Revealing Eyes still couldn't detect a trace of demonic energy.

It was as if he were truly a righteous person!
Looking at the blue bead, Instructor Zhao's gaze sharpened.

He reached out and pulled Qi Hanyue back to Su Yuan's side, asking in a deep voice:

"So you are the so-called sword path legacy left behind by the Sword Demon before he left?"

"We, the people of the Demon-Slaying Sword Sect, have searched for you again and again, but you haven't been exposed. Why are you suddenly speaking out to mislead my student today?"

Feng Wuyai sighed and said:

"To be honest, fellow Daoists, I am not a sword lineage holder, but merely a remnant soul of a sword cultivator."

“In the past, I was seriously injured and died. I sealed my soul with a secret method and hid in the place of inheritance that I set up, wanting to leave my mantle to a destined person.”

"Unexpectedly, instead of a successor, I was struck by the tribulation of immortality. I managed to survive it in a daze, relying on my remnant soul state."

"When my legacy is discovered, it will be ten thousand years later, during the revival of spiritual energy."

After hearing the other party's explanation, Su Yuan and Instructor Zhao had different expressions.

What surprised Su Yuan was that the person's account of his own experiences was exactly the same as what Zhu Qingqing had said, and it was most likely that he was Feng Wuyai himself.

Instructor Zhao frowned and said:

"As far as we know, there is only one Golden Core level inheritance site in the world of Absolute Sword. The remnant soul of the Sword Demon in this inheritance possesses the local people and is reborn."

"Your description does not match our investigation."

Feng Wuyai said helplessly:

"That's because you were prejudiced during your investigation. Yanhe... also known as the Sword Demon in your words, is the local resident."

"After he discovered my heritage that day, he participated in the assessment with an attitude of sincerity. I was not good at judging people and was deceived by him into giving away most of my heritage."

"After he had mastered his studies, he gradually became arrogant and began to wreak havoc on the village."

"I realized I had misjudged people and, not wanting to continue aiding and abetting evil, I hid one of my core lineages."

"However, Yanhe was relentless and launched a direct attack on me, forcing me to take my last remaining wisp of soul and hide ten thousand meters underground."

"Later, Yanhe became increasingly insane, destroying the entire world in his pursuit of power... These are all my fault."

As he continued, Feng Wuyai's tone became filled with grief, indignation, and self-blame.

Instructor Zhao also fell silent for a moment.

In that case, they were indeed prejudiced.

Because the sword demon was so incredibly ruthless, the investigators instinctively thought that he had been possessed by an ancient demonic cultivator.

But... who says that people who haven't been possessed can't turn bad?
Even if Feng Wuyai taught him a bunch of orthodox martial arts techniques, what good were his swordsmanship?
If a person's heart is ugly enough, even the most righteous martial arts will turn into demonic arts, and in the process of killing and ravaging the world, they will degenerate into a demon.

Instructor Zhao shook his head, then asked in confusion:
"If that's the case, why didn't you contact us sooner? The Demon-Slaying Sword Sect never mistreats ancient cultivators."

Feng Wuyai said with a hint of timidity:

"What else could it be? Of course, it's because you're all demonic cultivators..."

Instructor Zhao: "???" Feng Wuyai: "When the people of the Demon-Slaying Sword Sect were investigating this small world, I saw your people openly using demonic techniques and swordsmanship more than once."

"If that were all, it would be fine. But I've also seen many sword cultivators who are so ruthless as to steal other people's spiritual roots for their own use."

"More than half of them clearly have spiritual roots transplanted from outside. How dare I show my face recklessly in the face of such a well-organized demonic sect?"

Instructor Zhao: "..."

Well, it's understandable that primitive people have a somewhat feudal mindset and don't quite understand artificial spiritual root technology.

Instructor Zhao wasn't angry. He patiently explained to Feng Wuyai the technology of artificial spiritual roots and the concept of using demonic arts in a proper way.

But Feng Wuyai was completely unfazed. His main body bead emitted a sliver of azure light, pointing at Su Yuan like a finger:
"Don't think I'm easy to fool just because I'm from ten thousand years ago! This kid is also a disciple of your Demon-Slaying Sword Sect, isn't he?"

"You can recruit people with such demonic aura and countless atrocities into your ranks? Does your sect even deserve to be called 'Exorcising Evil'?"

Instructor Zhao suddenly felt embarrassed.

He glared at Su Yuan.

This kid has only just entered the academy and he's already causing trouble for the Demon-Slaying Sword Sect.

He's just like his teacher!

Now, the sect's reputation among the ancient cultivators is completely ruined.

Su Yuan, feeling a little embarrassed by the glare, quickly coughed lightly and smiled at Feng Wuyai, explaining:

"Senior Feng, I am definitely not a demonic cultivator, I am a good person."

"If you don't believe me, you can enter my Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and my spirit will patiently explain to you the good deeds I've done."

Feng Wuyai: "..."

The blue beads silently moved away from Su Yuan.

Su Yuan, that fiend, has gone mad! He actually tried to trick him into joining the Ten Thousand Soul Banner. How could he fall for such a trick?

But after a moment of silence, Feng Wuyai said helplessly:

"No matter what, now that I've shown myself, there's no turning back."

"To be honest, Yanhe didn't leave this world because he wanted to. He fled in advance when he saw the army of the Demon-Slaying Sword Sect pressing in."

“Even after escaping, he still coveted the core inheritance I had hidden, so he deliberately left a stone tablet when he left to lure you into searching for me.”

"I was prepared to fight to the bitter end in Yanhe, but unfortunately my soul power is almost exhausted. If I don't find a successor, the core inheritance will be cut off from the world."

"I was really unwilling to give up, so I searched for a suitable candidate every year, and finally found Qi Hanyue, a simple-minded girl."

"It's a pity she was too naive and trusted the devil."

Su Yuan said speechlessly:
"Senior, please don't make it sound like your business collapsed halfway through."

"If you really want to pass on your legacy to Qi Hanyue, then go ahead and do it. Do I look like the kind of person who would steal someone else's love?"

Feng Wuyai exclaimed in shock:

"What! You won't take Qi Hanyue hostage and force me to hand over the core inheritance to you?"

Su Yuan: "..."

For a fleeting moment, Su Yuan was actually tempted.

His gaze lingered briefly on the pink-haired girl's fair neck before he made a great effort to turn his head back.

"Senior, can't you teach both?"

Feng Wuyai immediately refused:

"Impossible. My power is only enough to pass on my skills to one person, and the transmission is not just in words, but also in a unique Dao seed."

Su Yuan sighed regretfully.

Since he couldn't force it, he didn't say anything more, but simply asked out of curiosity:

"Senior, now that Sword Demon Yanhe has left, why are you still wary of him?"

"Does he dare to make a comeback?"

Feng Wuyai explained:

"Yanhe himself will not come here, but he left behind several sword slaves of personal guard level in this world."

"Once my presence is exposed, these sword slaves will awaken and gather all the sword slaves in the world to intercept and kill me."

"If I am captured, Yanhe can send a part of his soul to me through his connection with his personal guard, the Sword Slave, and forcibly obtain my inheritance using the Soul Searching Technique."

"However, there is a Golden Core cultivator in charge of this world now. Even if the personal guards and sword slaves cause trouble, it will not matter and can be easily suppressed."

Su Yuan exclaimed in surprise:
"He descended directly with his divine soul? No wonder he's a demonic cultivator who sacrificed an entire world. His strength seems to be no less than that of one of the top ten Golden Core Doctors."

Instructor Zhao glanced at Su Yuan, but instead of refuting him, he agreed:

“Su Yuan, you’re right. Outstanding cultivators, regardless of whether they are righteous or demonic, or regardless of the era, will not be weak in combat among their peers.”

"Although that demonic cultivator named Yanhe is inhuman, he is indeed a genius in demonic cultivation."

After a pause, Instructor Zhao continued:

"However, I don't think I necessarily have to suppress the so-called personal guards and sword slaves he left behind."

"If none of the personal guards and sword slaves have the combat power of a Golden Core cultivator, I think they can still be used as part of military training."
