He became the True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws starting from Liaozhai.

The weather in the world changes color.

A strong wind whipped up thunderclouds, a howling gale brought torrential rain, and thunder tore through the sky.

A faint red light flickered in the clouds, and an authoritative voice pierced through the clouds: "Su Xiaoyue, you think you can escape my grasp with such petty tricks?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yiya seemed to recall the events of that year. Su Nianzhen's appearances were always grand and imposing, never lacking the dignity of an emperor.

But she came alone today, so she must be here to handle her own private matters.

Xu Yiya's heart sank. He and Su Xiaoyue knew Su Nianzhen's methods and strength better than anyone, but now they had implicated these newly acquainted friends.

He looked around and saw that both Zhang Zhengyi and Xin Jing had solemn expressions, staring intently at the red glow on the horizon.

Yun Song was so frightened by this aura that he hid in Zhang Zhengyi's arms, only his head showing.

Xu Yiya sighed inwardly. After hiding for so long, she came as soon as Su Xiaoyue showed up. It was obvious that this was a trap set for the two of them.

Perhaps Su Nianzhen deliberately let Su Xiaoyue discover the reincarnation manual back then, which led to the current situation.

Although Su Xiaoyue did not understand her mother's personality, she had a clear understanding of Su Nianzhen's cultivation level, which included four supernatural powers and the ability to condense a fifth pseudo-supernatural power through luck.

However, it is unknown whether this fifth pseudo-divine power can be used across thousands of miles.

The pressure from the Four Divine Powers was still too strong. Just thinking about it made Su Xiaoyue feel weak all over. She wanted to give up resisting. Would threatening to kill herself still be useful?

She couldn't understand why Su Nianzhen was so determined to hold onto her...

Xu Yiya was prepared to die. He planned to sacrifice his supernatural powers and shatter his true spirit, even if it meant eternal life was worse than reincarnation, just to send his friends away.

They shouldn't have died here; it was his arrival that dragged them down. Xu Yiya felt a pang of guilt. He thought he had gotten rid of this witch, but he never expected to end up like this.

Xu Yiya addressed the two people in front of him with a serious expression: "Zhang Shanshen, Little Master Xinjing."

"It is all my fault that you have been implicated today. I will do my best to hold off that witch for a moment. Please... leave as soon as possible."

Zhang Zheng was stunned. He didn't know what to say. Actually, he was very touched, but Xiao Chongshan was right here, and he couldn't go anywhere else.

Xin Jing shook his head and thanked him, "Amitabha, Layman Xu, Su Nianzhen of the Yin Yue Dynasty is a well-known cultivator with supernatural powers, and his strength is naturally unfathomable."

He glanced in Xu Yi's direction again, and only then did he feel somewhat at ease: "However, this is Ping Shui Temple, Xiao Chong Mountain, the place where this senior has longed to retire to for so long, so you all don't need to worry."

So what if it's Su Nianzhen? Ever since she's spent so much time with Xu Yi, Xin Jing even feels that even if the Patriarch Puji came, he'd have to get slapped twice before leaving.

The Mind Mirror discovered that Xu Yi seemed to possess more than just three supernatural abilities...

Zhang Zheng calmed himself down overnight. This aura was indeed terrifying. However, even if the sky fell, there was still this senior in front of him to hold it up. Based on his acquaintance with Xu Yi, although this person was cold-hearted, he was very warm-hearted to those he knew and liked.

He was actually quite nervous. Should he be afraid? He was very afraid. He wasn't the only mountain god in this Lesser Chong Mountain. There were hundreds of spirits and monsters in the mountain, all of them kind and good, who had never done anything immoral.

Good people should be rewarded, right?

Xu Yi glanced at it from afar before drawing the sword tied to the ox's back. Although it was not a celestial sword, it was indestructible after being tempered by his sword energy for so long.

The only difference between it and the Legend of Sword and Fairy is a touch of spirituality.

The sword is imbued with a spirit; it can choose its own master and even take someone's head from a thousand miles away.

As he drew his sword, Xu Yi frowned. This woman in red was incredibly powerful; she was the strongest enemy he had encountered since arriving here.

Although I have no grudge against her, once you come to Ping Shui Temple, even a dragon has to coil up.

Since you've made up your mind to cause trouble at Ping Shui Temple, then you should be prepared to die and perish.

Thunder and rain fell from the sky. Xu Yi pulled a piece of white paper from his sleeve and threw it into the air. The paper floated with the wind to the sky above Ping Shui Temple, growing larger and larger until it became a transparent barrier that enveloped the entire temple.

This thunderstorm is dirty; Xu Yi doesn't like it.

Su Nianzhen arrived through the air, her red dress fluttering in the wind, standing out strikingly against the dark sky.

She hovered in mid-air, her golden cloud-patterned skirt draped over her shoulders, embroidered with a dark gold phoenix, and a crimson phoenix buckle tied around her waist.

Su Nianzhen was extremely beautiful and aloof. Her eyebrows were like swords, her red lips were naturally rosy, and her eyes revealed an arrogance that looked down on all living beings.

Her long, black hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, and her body was surrounded by crimson-gold threads. Her indifferent eyes swept over Ping Shui Temple and locked onto the handsome Taoist priest next to the green ox, who looked unremarkable.

The Taoist priest is so unfathomable, it's really strange. Could he be a pawn planted by some immortal?

But it could never be an immortal. Immortals, with their noble status, dwell high above the clouds. How could they easily descend to the mortal realm and become entangled in worldly karma?

Although there was doubt in Su Nianzhen's eyes, there was no fear in her eyes. As long as it was not an immortal, there was no need to be afraid anymore.

She ignored Xu Yi's presence, her authoritative voice echoing once more: "Li Xuanxiao, how long are you going to hide?"

Inside the Ping Shui Temple, Xu Yiya heard a familiar name and his body trembled. He murmured, "Master?"

"Why is Master here?"

Just as he was wondering, a sword aura pierced through the clouds, cutting through the boundless darkness and breaking through the shadows that enveloped the world.

The emerald green immortal sword behind him sensed a familiar aura, and its blade began to tremble. Xu Yiya felt the meaning of the immortal sword and was excited and thrilled.

That familiar sword intent, sharp and radiant.

"It really is my master... My master has always been by my side."

Eighteen years have passed, why hasn't Master come out to see me? Xu Yiya was puzzled, but ever since he drank this Orchid Wine, he seemed to have figured some things out. No wonder Master let him go, no wonder Master granted his wish to be with Su Xiaoyue.

"Shushan doesn't care, that's it..."

The sword's light pierced the darkness, and the sun's light once again illuminated the world.

"You shouldn't be using such supernatural powers in the mortal world."

The sword light froze in mid-air, and a figure appeared.

He stood tall and straight like a pine tree, dressed in a white robe with flowing cloud patterns faintly visible in the wide sleeves. His black hair cascaded down his waist, untied and unbound.

His handsome face was framed by slanted, arched eyebrows and eyes as sharp as cold stars. He had a high nose bridge and a deep, calm gaze.

He exuded an aura of righteousness, with faint sword energy emanating from him.

Xu Yiya saw Li Xuanxiao through the white paper supernatural power and was completely stunned. He rubbed his eyes, his eyes full of disbelief, and he was so shocked that his jaw dropped.

He simply couldn't believe that the handsome young man before him was his master, Li Xuanxiao.

That slovenly, white-haired old man, that unkempt, foot-picking sword immortal?

"Master? This is my master?" If Xu Yiya hadn't recognized the immortal sword the young man was carrying on his back, he would never have believed that this was Li Xuanxiao.

His master couldn't possibly be that handsome.

"Li Xuanxiao, so many years have passed, and you still look the same."

"Stubborn and conservative."

Su Nianzhen disliked Li Xuanxiao's demeanor. He always acted so righteous and awe-inspiring, as if there was something particularly important in this world that was worth his steadfast protection.

"Having cultivated such wondrous supernatural powers, do I really need to consider the feelings of mere ants?"

"He who refuses to kneel before the Emperor deserves to be killed."

Su Nianzhen waved her sleeve, and a violent wind swept across the land, moving towards Fangyuan City.

"I know this kid is your apprentice. I thought we had some kind of ill-fated relationship, so I let it go."

"Now, I will never allow them to be together, no matter what."

"Just like you heartlessly abandoned me back then."

"For Mount Shu? Heh."

Su Nianzhen spoke more and more. At this moment, she didn't seem like the Empress of the Yinyue Dynasty, but rather like a young woman from a secluded family, feeling resentful.

You shouldn't have treated me like that.

"I've waited for you for two hundred years, and you don't even dare to see me. How can the Azure Sky Sword Master, who once struck fear into the hearts of all sword cultivators in the world, not even dare to see a woman?"

Inside the Ping Shui Temple, Zhang Zhengyi and Xin Jing no longer had the tense expressions they had shown before.

Well, even figures like the Master of the Azure Sky Sword and the Headmaster of Mount Shu have come. If they can't stop this demoness, then even a god couldn't save them today.

Zhang Zhengyi seemed very excited. The Bixiao Sword Master was once famous throughout the world. Ever since he became conscious, the first thing he heard about was the deeds and rumors of this Bixiao Sword Master. Some cultivators had left behind some notes and stories when they passed by Xiaochong Mountain.

Among the renowned figures in the cultivation world of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Bixiao Sword Master is naturally indispensable. He is simply a role model for all sword cultivators. Putting aside his chivalrous nature, just his appearance alone is enough to impress anyone who stands there.

You'll know that he's an absolutely upright person, someone who keeps his word.

At least that's what Zhang Zhengyi thinks for now. As for what Su Nianzhen said, he just let it go in one ear and out the other; it was pure slander.

Xin Jing kept chanting Amitabha Buddha. It's truly an eye-opener. Ever since following Senior Xu, every day has been full of exciting events.

He's already met two of the leaders of the three major immortal sects. And it's only been a month?

It's really strange. In any case, following Senior Xu was the right thing to do. I just don't know what's going on at Tianchan Temple now.

What secrets are hidden behind the death of Master Puji...?

Xu Yi also put away his sword, adopting a spectator's attitude. It would take some time for the gale to reach Fangyuan City. Su Nian was really doing this on purpose; she was making things difficult for Li Xuanxiao.

......

"You're always like this; when faced with a difficult question, you just stay silent."

Su Nianzhen said a lot and asked a lot of questions, but Li Xuanxiao remained standing in the same spot, without making any move or answering any of the questions.

Su Nianzhen waved her sleeve once more, and the gale subsided.

The city god of Fangyuan City breathed a sigh of relief. Two great gods were fighting on Xiaochong Mountain, and he could only pray in his heart that it would not affect this place.

Fangyuan City is small and cannot withstand such turmoil. That gust of wind just now was enough to overturn the entire city. Even with so many years of offerings, he might not be able to withstand a casual strike from this powerful being.

Su Nianzhen was so angry that she was trembling all over. Even when she was surrounded by those old fogies from the Xuanxin Sect, she had never felt this bad.

"What good will it do for either of us if you just keep it to yourself and never say a word?"

"Whether you love me or not is a simple matter of a word, so why are you so dismissive of me?"

"Were you lying to me all along?"

"Li Xuanxiao, please don't say that you'll stay in Mount Shu forever and never come out, never face me again."

Su Nianzhen roared hysterically, all traces of her imperial aura, her disdain for all living beings, and her status above all others gone.

It was never what she wanted. Now that she's in this position, there are many things she can't fully control.

Her father is still alive, but his condition is practically the same as being dead. Once she outlives him and trains the next person to rule the Yin Yue Dynasty, she can leave and completely escape this place of trouble.

The fortune of the Yin Yue Dynasty made her successful, but it also trapped her. Unless someone replaces her, her entire being will be affected by the karma of the Yin Yue Dynasty. The people of the Xuanxin Sect will not let her go, and the old immortals of the Yin Yue Dynasty are also watching her closely.

Hearing this, Li Xuanxiao felt a pang of pain in his heart. Ever since Xu Yiya left Shushan, he had been following behind this disciple. Shushan also had an ancestor to oversee things, so his short absence didn't actually have a significant impact on Shushan.

He still has many years to live. He understands his master's disagreement back then, but as his master, he doesn't want what happened back then to happen again.

Su Nianzhen's words were heard by Li Xuanxiao, who felt very uncomfortable. Xu Yiya also felt very uncomfortable. His master said that Shushan didn't care.

Li Xuanxiao's feelings were complicated. He couldn't face these things, but some things were unavoidable and had to be faced sooner or later. Ever since he learned the name of the woman who was with Xu Yiya, he knew that this day would come sooner or later.

No one can escape that tangled web of fate. Rather than waiting anxiously, it's better to face it sooner and end this karmic entanglement.

But when the matter was right in front of him, Li Xuanxiao dared not speak. He opened his mouth several times, but the words always stuck in his throat, and he could not say them no matter what.

"Heh, the renowned Bixiao Sword Master doesn't even dare to utter a word."

Su Nianzhen completely lost her patience.

"Li Xuanxiao, you can't beat me. Today, either you or your disciple must die here."

"Not only will you die, but today I will also unleash a massacre..."

"But I have mastered a divine power for you. If you can block this divine power with your sword heart..."

"Then everything I have said today is null and void."

Li Xuanxiao finally made a move; he nodded.

"I am indeed no match for you, but my resolve is unwavering, and no matter how strange your supernatural powers are, you cannot shake it."

"Li Xuanxiao, your mouth is the only thing you're really good at."

"You're watching closely..."

Su Nianzhen sneered. This supernatural power was something she had cultivated over the past few hundred years amidst endless resentment.

It primarily targets the mind and spirit. Anyone entangled by supernatural powers will be trapped in past memories, which is most damaging to their Dao heart.

A shimmering light appeared in Su Nianzhen's hand as she murmured:

"Heaven and earth may pass away, but this sorrow will last forever..."

"Divine Power: All-Out Hatred from Heaven"
