"you……"
Su Jinxi's eyes widened in shock.
What shocked her wasn't the last two sentences. She had no idea what a destiny star was, and when she said she was one of them, Su Jinxi was only puzzled.
What truly touched the cat's heart was her introduction of herself.
The Holy Venerable of Ten Thousand Swords?
There is only one sword cultivator in the world who can be given this title, and that is the sect master of the Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Sect!
The "Number One Sword Under Heaven" at the seventh level of the Saint Realm, the strongest among humans, who once slashed down a million Abyss Demons with a single sword, cut off half a horn of an elder of the Ancient Dragon Clan, and severed two tail feathers of a Phoenix Clan goddess. Two thousand five hundred years ago, she ventured deep into the Demon Realm, fought fiercely against the "Three Great Demons" of the Demon Clan, and escaped unscathed, making all the races of the Demon Realm grit their teeth.
That female sword master whose entire body is filled with incredible battle achievements.
Now he sits across from Su Jinxi, chatting with her calmly and even feeding her tea.
Su Jinxi couldn't help but swallow.
The masked female cultivator in front of me is definitely a ruthless character, one that even the Demon King fears and wants to eliminate but cannot!
Her first thought was that the woman was lying, but then she realized that she hadn't even drawn her sword, and with just a seemingly ordinary sword intent, she had sent the black-robed man at the tenth level of the Mahayana realm fleeing in disarray...
Such strong people disdain lying.
"Calm down."
Jiang Lingyun glanced at her, poured out the tea in Su Jinxi's cup, and then refilled it with warm tea.
“…The Saint of Ten Thousand Swords.” Su Jinxi pursed her lips.
"Back then, when you stormed the Demon Emperor's City alone with your sword, I was just a little demon in my tribe who looked up to your battles."
Demons generally have a longer lifespan than humans. Su Jinxi was actually a hundred years older than Jiang Lingyun, but when Su Jinxi was around two thousand years old, she was just a demon who had just entered adulthood and was in the Nascent Soul stage.
But at that time, Jiang Lingyun was already the sect leader of the number one sword sect in the world, and her solo attack on the demon realm was a truly earth-shattering act.
As a Saint of the first level, she faced the Demon King of Ten Thousand Demons, who had ascended the throne for two thousand years and was of the same cultivation level, as well as two other Saint-level Great Demons who had fallen into a deep sleep in order to reduce their lifespan. She fought against three opponents and was at a disadvantage, but she was still able to escape unscathed!
It should be said that the faces of all the races in the Demon Realm were slapped hard.
It was killed and killed by a human.
The Demon King considered this a shameful disgrace that must be washed away with blood. However, there were still many people among the demon race who held an indescribable admiration and worship for Jiang Lingyun.
Su Jinxi is one of them.
Therefore, the woman in front of her was once her idol, although it was rather shameless of her to worship a human who wielded a sword and stormed into the demon realm.
But what's wrong with admiring the strong?
"What happened back then was just a moment of impulsiveness on my part. If it were today, I would never be so reckless."
Jiang Lingyun knew what Su Jinxi was thinking, and simply said calmly.
"Speaking of which, I'm also quite interested in something about you."
Su Jinxi picked up the teacup in front of her.
"what's up?"
"Why did you invade the Demon Realm in the first place? Also, for several hundred years, you neglected the management of your sect and stayed in the Eastern Frontier. What were you looking for?"
The little female cat suddenly became interested.
Anyway, if she wanted to harm me, she wouldn't be able to escape. I might as well chat for now. Gu Heng will definitely come back once he realizes something happened at Yunxiang Tower.
Jiang Lingyun lowered her eyelashes, concealing the complex and indescribable expression in her eyes.
"I... did it for Jian Xuan."
Su Jinxi's eyebrows twitched unconsciously.
“He is my Grand Elder, who helps me manage the sect so that I can focus on cultivating the Dao and practicing swordsmanship. However, he disappeared without a trace, without even leaving a message. This is very unusual, because he rarely leaves the sect, and he would never leave without informing me.”
Jiang Lingyun murmured softly, "At first I didn't pay much attention, then a year, ten years, a hundred years passed..."
Finally, she couldn't wait any longer. Upon hearing this, Su Jinxi immediately understood something.
"I heard that his last appearance was in the eastern border region."
"So I came to search, I went everywhere and asked everyone I could, and finally I thought of the Demon Realm. Actually, I went there just to ask your Demon King if he had seen any trace of Jian Xuan."
"Who knew he would come up and say that I 'used the disappearance of your sect's elder as an excuse to trespass into my demon territory and deserve to be killed,' and then we started fighting."
Jiang Lingyun pressed her temples, her head throbbing as if she were thinking about it.
It should be said that what happened back then was indeed a complete misunderstanding. Jiang Lingyun was actually very anxious to find someone, and after searching for three or four hundred years without success, she was extremely worried.
She would not yield to the demon race either, and neither side would back down.
This is the result.
"..." Su Jinxi was speechless.
Thinking back now, it seems that the Demon Emperor has always been a bit paranoid and delusional. From what she saw when she met the Demon Emperor, that guy sat on the throne of the Demon Emperor. He was clearly an emperor, but he still had to cover his face and body with a layer of mist.
It's less about maintaining mystery and more about being silly.
"and then?"
Su Jinxi asked.
She suddenly felt that the woman in front of her was a bit stupid.
"Then, one day the sect sent me a message that Jian Xuan's life tablet had shattered, meaning his soul had also dissipated. With the life tablet broken, both his physical body and soul were already..."
Jiang Lingyun's hand trembled slightly, and the teacup silently turned into dust.
She was devastated when she first received the news, but more than two years have passed, and she has long since come to terms with it. Except that there is still a small part of her heart that bears the scars.
"That's it. It's not as complicated as you think. I'm not after any treasure or cultivation. I'm just after someone who has been dead for many years."
Jiang Lingyun shook her head with a wry smile, her gaze distant.
Hearing these words, I felt a pang of bitterness.
"Well, since you did save me, I can tell you something." Su Jinxi blinked.
"what?"
Jiang Lingyun looked up at her.
"The Purple Sword Master you're looking for is still alive, although he's only a soul left and his strength is far less than before... but he's alive."
Su Jinxi slowly finished the tea in her cup.
Then, seeing Jiang Lingyun's increasingly frozen, blank expression, she smiled. "Oh dear, even the world's number one swordsman can make such an expression; seeing it is a real treat."
She, Su Jinxi, made a killing!
