The actions of the Ghost Qilin Master were all aimed at changing fate.
Perhaps "changing fate" isn't quite accurate; it could also be said that he sought to prove through action that the Nine Heavens Profound Sovereign was a fool.
The Three Vehicles of Xuan Huang were sealed by the Nine Heavens Profound Sovereign.
Alongside the Emperor Confucian Lin Tianxing, the Nine Heavens Profound Sovereign was known as one of the four great founders of the Dao, equally renowned in the world.
However, only Lin Tianxing among the four great founders remained alive; the true identity of the Ghost Qilin Master, Feichang Jun, came from under the Nine Heavens Profound Sovereign and was granted the title of "Human Awareness."
Feichang Jun believed that with Human Awareness, there should be no existence of the "most human."
If there were, then it should be he who took on the role of the "most human."
But because he was tainted with the aura of both humans and ghosts, he was despised by the Nine Heavens Profound Sovereign, thus missing out on the title of the pinnacle of humanity.
This led Feichang Jun to take extreme measures; on the surface, he appeared as a carefree recluse, while in the shadows, he was a hellish Asura, gnawing on blood and bones as he crawled forward.
The Ghost Qilin Master was uncertain how much Xun Wuyou knew, but it was clear that Xun Wuyou had touched his reverse scale, causing a surge of murderous intent, with a sinister ghostly aura enveloping the area.
"Hate Wu Peak!"
Xun Wuyou didn't even look at the Ghost Qilin Master, speaking with a serious expression and earnest tone: "Your choice determines whether you will continue to suffer under the Ghost Qilin Master's enslavement!"
The reason Hate Wu Peak was restrained by the Ghost Qilin Master was simply due to emotional entanglements; the Ghost Qilin Master had a grip on his wife's life, directly controlling this cold wolf blade.
"Hate Wu Peak."
The Ghost Qilin Master said ominously: "What he said is not wrong, but what about you? Are you willing to gamble your wife's life? Killing for me to nourish the blade is the only sure way to save your wife's life!"
"Stop talking nonsense." Xun Wuyou sneered: "Your wife's current situation is also related to you!"
"Shut up!" The Ghost Qilin Master exploded in anger; how much did this kid know about his secrets?
The White Bone Fan swept out, carving a path through a sea of corpses and blood.
The Sword of Inches drew and killed.
"You're just admitting your guilt."
Xun Wuyou activated the Royal Heaven's Journey, countering the Asura Blood Sea with royal energy, and sternly shouted: "Hate Wu Peak, if you weren't brainless, it should be clear by now!"
Xun Wuyou and the Sword of Inches exchanged blows rapidly, in the blink of an eye, they had exchanged thirty strikes.
The walking corpse of the Sword of Inches was practically a bug; combined with the new player halo, it took on Xun Wuyou's thirty strikes of Confucianism's ultimate techniques, the thunderous setting was just that ridiculous.
Newcomers in the early stages are invincible, stepping on the backs of the old to rise, and soon after, they will break through.
Just as the Ghost Qilin Master was about to join the fray and double kill Xun Wuyou, the motionless Hate Wu Peak turned to look at him.
His pupils were like those of a wolf in the dark night, exuding a bloodthirsty aura.
"Hate Wu Peak!" the Ghost Qilin Master said coldly: "This kid is talking nonsense, do you believe him?"
To him, Hate Wu Peak was merely a pawn, suitable for nurturing the blade.
This blade was prepared for the Earth Underworld, which was on par with the Three Vehicles of Xuan Huang, and it was still three parts away from completion.
He wasn't afraid of Hate Wu Peak turning against him; he was only afraid of not finding anyone more suitable than Hate Wu Peak to nurture the blade.
Clang!
The Demon Blade carved out a shocking long scar, and Hate Wu Peak said coldly: "As for the truth, I will investigate myself. If what this person says is true, then Hate Wu Peak will pursue you to the ends of the earth to take your head!"
"Well said!" The Ghost Qilin Master clapped and grinned: "Then before the truth is revealed, does your wife's life still matter?"
Hate Wu Peak remained silent, quietly turning to look at Xun Wuyou, who was battling with the Sword of Inches, the Asura Dragon of the Heavenly Realm surged with purple light; he hesitated no longer and charged into the fray.
"Hate Wu Peak, you idiot!" Xun Wuyou was disgusted: "Did I not make myself clear enough?"
Hate Wu Peak did not respond, unleashing the endless killing moves of the Asura Dragon, each strike stronger than the last, stirring up clouds of dust on the ground that obscured vision, just as he brushed past Xun Wuyou.
"Go!"
Only Xun Wuyou could hear the single word "go."
This was a signal for Xun Wuyou to leave quickly while the dust rose.
Hate Wu Peak, decisive in battle among the immortals and demons, did not mean he was a bad person, nor did it mean he couldn't distinguish right from wrong; he believed half of what Xun Wuyou said.
Still, he was unwilling to act against the Ghost Qilin Master, as he did not dare to gamble his wife's life.
If the Five Paths of Haotian couldn't save anyone and he tore his face with the Ghost Qilin Master, he couldn't predict the outcome.
Xun Wuyou's spirit lifted; it was enough that Hate Wu Peak intended to let him go.
He pressed his hand onto the Asura Dragon, and Hate Wu Peak exerted his strength in time, sending Xun Wuyou retreating a hundred zhang away.
As he retreated, he turned gracefully, stepping into the air and leaving the dust behind.
"Chase after him!"
The Ghost Qilin Master was furious, casting a doubtful glance at Hate Wu Peak. 【This guy definitely let him go!】
Speculating whether the blade nurturer was intentionally letting him go, but lacking evidence, he snorted and took the lead in pursuit.
Regardless of whether Hate Wu Peak had let him go, the Ghost Qilin Master was now wary of him.
However, this pawn was still useful, but he couldn't let him come into contact with Xun Wuyou.
Otherwise, that kid might easily turn Hate Wu Peak against him with just a few words, something the Ghost Qilin Master could not accept.
"Ghost Qilin Master, lightness is not my strong suit!" Hate Wu Peak said lightly, then sheathed the Asura Dragon: "The lightness of the Confucian school is like drifting on waves; I fear I won't be able to catch up, so I take my leave."
What a troublesome fellow, the Ghost Qilin Master gritted his teeth.
This time, he was confident he could capture that slippery eel.
But he never expected that the eel seemed to have foresight, shaking Hate Wu Peak's resolve.
The Sword of Inches was sharp and fierce, and lightness was not its strong suit; in the end, only he was left to pursue.
Even so, the Ghost Qilin Master had no intention of letting Xun Wuyou go.
He was full of confidence in his own cultivation, capturing a fledgling junior would only take a bit of time.
Without the interference of Sword of the Wind and Butterfly Lord, this kid couldn't escape far.
……
Xun Wuyou felt the wind at his feet, arcing around a tall mountain, sensing the fierce wind behind him, he couldn't help but shout: "Ghost Qilin Master, don't push people too far!"
His words were defiant, but he fled even faster.
Some plots cannot be disrupted; once they are, his advantage in advancement will be lost.
The Immortal Demon Blade series defined Feichang Jun as the ultimate boss behind the scenes; the plot was intricately connected, and with Xun Wuyou exposing the truth, the stage would inevitably be thrown into chaos.
According to the plot, first was the Blood Dark Crystal Tower of the Reversed God Yang, followed by the Heavenly Fire of Kuiyujiang, and then the Plague of the Underworld, the Wind Disaster...
Not a single one of the Blood Dark Six Calamities could be missed; the complete power of Blood Dark was the unparalleled choice to slay gods, and all disasters were to facilitate the completion of the Blood Dark power, in order to resist the evil gods that would destroy the world.
Unless Xun Wuyou had exceptionally strong innate cultivation right now, he could only obediently follow the plot.
Otherwise, who knows how chaotic it would become.
The experts entering the world behind him were stronger than the last, and without absolute self-defense power, it was easy to be killed by the chaotic plot.
Xun Wuyou felt deep resentment; he should be the first person to cross over and take on the boss.
The key was that he didn't have the strength to match the boss, which was the most critical issue.
Everything had to be done with utmost caution, avoiding touching certain bottom lines; if an important link was disrupted, the outcome would be unpredictable.
"Kid, take the Misty Obscuration Pill, and I won't hold past grudges!"
The voice of the Ghost Qilin Master resonated in all directions, shaking the mountains and fields.
"Go to hell!" Xun Wuyou retorted defiantly: "Let's see how long you can be arrogant; I'll drag this out with you to the end, come on, keep chasing, if you don't chase, it's my life!"
