Free Web NovelChapter 288: Chapter 115: Passing By the Sect, Remaining Outside to Hunt Demons
The Spirit Root controls the flying sword.
Thus, Li Xuan only needs to resist the power of the flying sword falling to make it hover in mid-air.
If he exerts a bit more effort, the flying sword can dance up, down, left, and right.
However, he cannot "activate" the power of the flying sword itself because it requires "Qi."
In this way, Li Xuan basically understands what "Qi" is.
Qi, like Ice Crystal, Ice Jade, Purple Ice Copper, and even those disease metals, is a power opposite to demon power. It can activate the "flying sword made primarily from spirit mines that suppress demons," thereby unleashing a terrifying force.
This power, he hasn’t mastered yet.
Therefore, he can only rely on "miracles through brute force."
...
...
Li Xuan did not immediately confess his progress; he spent two more months cultivating the "Heart Flame Skill" of the Returning to Truth Realm. After unsuccessful attempts, he then confessed to Senior Sister Feng.
"I have barely mastered the flying sword."
Senior Sister Feng shook her head, expressing disbelief.
Li Xuan slightly bent his fingers.
Clang!
The flying sword sang long, unsheathed, and then wobbly took off, shooting straight forward, before laboriously returning.
Feng Mengrou was stunned.
She tried hard to recall and realized that her beloved was still in the Demon Form Realm two years ago, and now... now he suddenly surpassed Demon Intent and Returning to Truth, even merged with Thought Stone, handling the flying sword.
She looked at Li Xuan with blurry eyes, her heart full of joy.
Compared to the man in front of her, Feng Xiongyi was like the light of a firefly competing with the brilliance of the sun and moon.
Her lips parted slightly but ultimately turned into a smile, saying, "Junior Brother is truly amazing."
Her eyes sparkled with genuine happiness, even pride.
A man, isn’t he a woman’s greatest show-off?
If there is a man she can brag about every day, then even rouge and powder, bright clothing will take a back seat.
Although Li Xuan’s terrifying nature has not yet been witnessed by the sect, Feng Mengrou has already felt the joyful atmosphere. One cultivator after another looked at Li Xuan with shocked eyes, offering extremely high praise, and she happened to be Li Xuan’s Dao partner. The person standing beside Li Xuan was none other than her. And in the crowd, even Feng Xiongyi was present, gritting his teeth in hatred, clenching his fists... frёeωebɳovel.com
Suddenly, a woman’s sensitive intuition grasped something at this moment.
Feng Mengrou lightly stepped to Li Xuan’s side and said with concern, "Junior Brother, it’s best not to let outsiders know. I’m worried that if Feng Xiongyi knows your true talent, he might harm you.
Among the sect, of course, people don’t usually kill each other.
But outside the sect, with no one watching, one can act recklessly...
If Feng Xiongyi holds a grudge against you, he might secretly follow you out of the sect and then... then kill you with a single sword."
"I see..." Li Xuan touched his chin, revealing a hint of seriousness.
Feng Mengrou worriedly added, "Junior Brother, don’t ever think the sect is anything like immortals, with noble character — it’s all false.
In the jurisdictions of Great Yin’s village towns, those in power still need to follow procedures and have official titles to bully ordinary people, but in the sect, none of that exists."
Li Xuan said, "The power of those in charge comes from authority, so they need to actively follow the rules of the game of power.
But the strength of cultivators originates from themselves; they only need to be stronger than others.
Without the constraint of rules, the demons in everyone’s heart will emerge."
"Right, right, Junior Brother knows quite a bit," Feng Mengrou felt Li Xuan articulated what she wanted to say but hadn’t sorted out yet, then she chuckled softly, patting Li Xuan’s chest lightly, "Not bad, seems he’s not just a little boy only focused on cultivation."
Only focused on cultivation, a little boy?
Li Xuan was momentarily taken aback.
But upon reconsideration, he thought this might indeed be how he appeared in Senior Sister’s eyes.
Feng Mengrou gently said, "With this understanding, Senior Sister can also be at ease. Before, Senior Sister was afraid you knew nothing."
Li Xuan was silent for a while before asking, "Then... what does Senior Sister Feng think I should do now?"
Feng Mengrou’s eyes flickered before suddenly tilting her head slightly, "There is something... I... I should tell you."
Li Xuan smiled and asked, "What is it?"
Feng Mengrou jumped up, pointing her finger at his nose and softly said, "You mustn’t scold me."
Li Xuan laughed, "When have I ever scolded Senior Sister?"
Feng Mengrou lowered her head, staring at the tips of her toes, looking like a little girl who had done something wrong, "And don’t ignore me."
Li Xuan found it amusing.
If he hadn’t managed to peel away her surface ’shell,’ he never would have thought that a seemingly commanding Senior Sister Feng would turn into such a little girl when really clingy.
He solemnly nodded.
Only then did Feng Mengrou recount how she had previously said to Feng Xiongyi, "Li Xuan is better than you," feeling somewhat awkward and anxious after speaking.
There was a moment of silence in the air.
Li Xuan clapped his hands and said, "Well said!" freeweɓnovel.cøm
Feng Mengrou looked up in surprise, saying hesitantly, "I thought you’d scold me."
Li Xuan replied, "If anyone should be scolded, it should be him, Feng Xiongyi, *C&W@￥N!"
A string of "jumbled insults" burst out.
Feng Mengrou pursed her lips and laughed.
Her eyes were full of sweetness as she laughed.
She also shouted, "Feng Xiongyi, *C&W￥@N!"
An unprecedented sense of happiness surged into her heart, causing her eyes to turn slightly red. She wanted to say, "Thank you, Junior Brother," but the words stuck inexplicably as she was about to speak.
Li Xuan continued to curse.
So she also joined in, feeling increasingly relaxed and unbound as she cursed. Now, thinking back, she began to wonder why she ever liked Feng Xiongyi.
