Unparalleled Sword Emperor

Not long after the spiritual energy had been injected into the crystal, it started to release a pure white light, which immediately formed a series of characters in the air.    

Seeing the words on it, Old Daoist Red Lotus couldn't figure out what it meant. What was this so-called shadow? Who was Chong Xie referring to? And what was the erosion trying to do?    

When Old Daoist Red Lotus heard these words, he was able to immediately identify several problems. However, he didn't receive any relevant answers.    

Not long after, the four Xuan Crystals had been drained of their energy and all of their luster had faded into his hands.    

After he put it away, he fell into deep thought.    

"..."    

In the blink of an eye, the night quietly slipped away. The light that illuminated the earth also blossomed from the black sky.    

Lingyun, who was cultivating in the room that Xuanyuan Hao had arranged for him, also opened his eyes and after doing some warm-up exercises, he began to walk out. Since there was still a day's time before he could enter the secret realm outside of Blood Green Battle City, he decided to ask where he could buy a cauldron for concocting pills.    

Pills were one of the most practical consumables for all living beings that lived in this world. They were at the same level as elemental crystals, weapons, cultivation techniques, and martial skills.    

However, the moment he opened the door, he discovered that there was a young girl squatting outside, sleeping soundly with her hands crossed around her legs.    

Upon seeing this person, Ling Yunfan immediately recognized the young girl in the light pink cheongsam as Xuanyuan Lixi, who had previously said that she wanted to protect him in an environment.    

"Why is she outside my room?" Then, after recognizing him, Ling Yunfan asked himself in his heart with a face full of curiosity. He then went over and patted his shoulder and said, "Oi, Lady Xi'er, wake up."    

Ugh …" Xuanyuan Li Xi was still a martial artist regardless of what happened. Although she was currently in a deep sleep state, her nervous system reaction was much faster than ordinary people, so she very quickly opened her eyes and looked at Ling Yunfan with a pair of blurry eyes. After taking a few looks at her surroundings, she immediately stood up and said with a slightly flushed face, "No … "Sorry I wanted to look for you yesterday, but I fell asleep right here.    

After saying that, he looked around and after realizing that no one else had passed by, he patted his chest in relief.    

"Eh …"    

Hearing her explanation, Ling Yunfan felt completely speechless. He suddenly remembered that the other party must have heard his melody the day before. At that time, Xuanyuan Li Xi must have been in a bad mood, so she didn't knock the door and fell asleep outside.    

Thinking up to this point, he felt a little embarrassed as it seemed to have something to do with him.    

"In that case, Lady Xi'er, please go back and rest for a while. I'm going out to buy some things." Then, Ling Yunfan hastily bid his farewells and immediately walked past him towards the distance.    

"Wait."    

When he raised his head, he saw Xuanyuan Li Xi holding his hand and said, "I can bring you to pay for whatever you want to buy, it'll be fine as long as you can teach me how to refine pills."    

"Oh? "Is Lady Xi Er interested in the Dao of alchemy as well?" Hearing Xuanyuan Li Xi's words, Lingyun also felt a little shocked. After a moment of consideration, he also felt that there was nothing wrong with the exchange, so he immediately agreed, "No problem, but I'll pay for the crystals myself."    

"Yeah, whatever."    

Seeing that she had agreed, Xuanyuan Li Xi replied excitedly and walked over quickly.    

Towards this, Ling Yunfan helplessly shook his head and immediately followed.    

"..."    

Not long after they left, Xuanyuan Hao and Yan Qing also descended from the sky.    

"Is the Lord going to pinch the two of them?" Seeing that Xuanyuan Hao did not stop Ling Yun Fan from getting close to Xuanyuan Li Xi, Yan Qing asked with some curiosity.    

"Even if I wanted to, it would be of no use. My daughter is only interested in that little fellow because she belongs to the alchemist community, and Yun Fan is a little kid as well. He has never paid any attention to Xi Er, so I wouldn't mind if the two of them get to know each other, but it's almost impossible." However, Xuanyuan Hao shook his head and denied his guess with a bitter smile.    

After all, he himself had seen Lingyun's excellence. If his own daughter could fall in love with someone like that, it would naturally be great for him, but he could do nothing about it. He didn't have any interest in his own daughter, and didn't even want to get close to her.    

In this aspect, it was already decided that the two of them would never be fated to be lovers. At most, they would be friends. Of course, if Lingyun was willing to take him in as his disciple to teach him alchemy, there would be a closer master-disciple relationship.    

Then, as if he had thought of something, Xuanyuan Hao turned to Yan Qing beside him and said: "It's getting late. You should go to Blood Green Battle City and make some preparations."    

"Yes."    

After receiving the order, Yanqing also clasped his fists and nodded his head, before immediately turning around and flying away.    

His speed was extremely fast, several times faster than when the wind blew. In just a few breaths of time, he was already several tens of thousands of miles away.    

After that, after a brief sensing of Lingyun and Xuanyuan Li Xi on the main street of the Jade Heaven City, his figure turned into countless specks of light and instantly disappeared.    

…    

At the same time, somewhere in a desert covered with red sand that looked like a sea of blood, a large black whirlpool appeared." At the same time, somewhere in a desert covered with red sand that looked like a sea of blood.    

He did not know why although it appeared to be filled with a dangerous feeling, it was emitting an extremely shocking amount of dense natural spiritual energy. Furthermore, it had already reached the level of turning one's aura into mist.    

From these points of view, one could see that behind this whirlpool was a mystic realm, and this large black whirlpool was most likely the entrance.    

Not only did a whirlpool appear here, but even Blood Green Battle City, Jade Origin Consonance City, Shadow City, and Thousand Goblins Mountain, near some of the more famous places in the Blood Slaughter Grounds, had whirlpools like this.
