After the Sword was finished being forged, he returned to his village to show off to his peers that he now owned a Sword.
However, when he arrived at his village, a Silver Dragon Demon had destroyed the entire village. The Village Head who had a cultivation base of the Eternity Realm had been turned into an iron statue, because the Dragon Demon's breath contained Iron spiritual energy.
The young man was furious at the Dragon Demon. Even though he had no spiritual energy, he ran towards the Dragon Demon while swinging his sword.
The Dragon Demon laughed amusedly because he found it funny that a human without spiritual energy dared to attack him. He immediately spewed iron spiritual energy from his mouth, but the Sword in the human's hand split the Dragon's spiritual energy and pierced the Dragon Demon's heart.
“Imagine what happened next?” asked Master Wang, looking at Xuan Ji with a wide smile.
Xuan Ji waved his hand so Master Wang wouldn't have to continue the story. “That's a cliche fairy tale that storytellers often tell.”
Master Wang just smiled wryly at Xuan Ji's response. The important thing for him was that Xuan Ji didn't discuss the return of the ancient Shadow Dagger Artifact.
“All the monsters have escaped, are we going to chase them?” shouted one of the swordsmen loudly, as everyone seemed to be focused on staring at the mountain-sized monster that had been killed by Li Ruoqing with her ancient Shadow Dagger Artifact.
“Forget it,” replied Zhao Wu. “If we go after them, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach Huayang City today.”
He also felt it was pointless to chase the monsters, because there were no monster crystals in their bodies. As Li Ruoqing had said before, the monsters may have been controlled by monster controlling Cultivators or also often referred to as Beast Masters.
“Li Ruoqing, give me that Shadow Dagger!” exclaimed Xuan Ji after his indirect disciple came with a happy facial expression.
“Here, Master Ji,” said Li Ruoqing, handing over the ancient Shadow Dagger Artifact.
Xuan Ji looked at the blade of the Shadow Dagger carefully. It looked like ordinary iron, but when he scratched the rock he was sitting on. The stone immediately shattered into pieces.
“Hmm, it seems that this Shadow Dagger is very powerful. Maybe it's more suitable for me so I don't have to expend enormous spiritual energy when fighting against the followers of the Demonic Cult,"Xuan Ji thought to himself. However, the weapon only resonated with Li Ruoqing, even though he was also a martial artist Assassin."Did the creator of this weapon have the same lineage as Li Ruoqing?” he guessed.
Just like Xue Yao who could use the Long Clan's martial arts because her body still flowed with the Long Clan's lineage even though it was no longer pure.
“What's wrong, Master? Why is Master's face so wrinkled?” Li Ruoqing snapped Xuan Ji out of his reverie. “If Master is interested in that ancient Artifact, then keep it for Master. Later, I will buy a new dagger at Master Wang's trading pavilion with the payment from this escort."
“If I'm not mistaken, we still have a spiritual Dagger weapon whose level is almost close to the Artifact level. Because Miss Ruoqing is Ancestor Mu Ji's disciple, then pay 20% of the capital,” replied Master Wang.
He wouldn't lose even if he sold it below market price, because the sales proceeds from the ancient Shadow Dagger Artifact alone were very large. Of course, his goal in selling the dagger cheaply at his trading pavilion to Li Ruoqing was so that Ancestor Mu Ji would have a good impression of him.
“I'm just curious about this Shadow Dagger,” replied Xuan Ji as he threw the ancient artifact towards Li Ruoqing. “Fighting using Assassin martial arts is not my type.”
“Really? Does Ancestor Mu Ji fight using swords and great moves?” said Master Wang excitedly.
Xuan Ji pretended to cough as he walked with his hands behind his back. A gentle breeze blew and waved the white robe he was wearing. “My best move is to throw poison at the enemy and immediately burn them to nothing. That is true martial arts.”
Everyone was shocked to hear this and sneered inwardly that this method was the martial art of the Demonic Cult's followers.
“Alright, let's continue this journey. I'm also curious if the food in Huayang City is delicious? Especially the brothel—” Xuan Ji trailed off. “What this ancestor means is that Master Wang's trading pavilion might be very luxurious, ha-ha-ha….”
Master Wang and the others couldn't help but laugh even though they had to force it, because they couldn't make the ancestor angry if they wanted to live longer.
“Oh, yes, Ruoqing'er. If you meet swordsmen surnamed Mu, then be good friends with them and immediately report to me where they live.” Xuan Ji sent a telepathic voice to Li Ruoqing.
Li Ruoqing nodded slowly. “I will look for information about the Mu Clan, Master.”
…***…
By the lake created by Xuan Ji, Gu Haitang was very upset because the monsters he had painstakingly captured had been wiped out by Li Ruoqing.
“It turns out they are quite strong. I should have released the Demon from the beginning so that the Eternity Realm expert would have intervened directly. Damn, looks like today is not my lucky day,"he grumbled as he lost his madam and over a hundred of his monsters."I'd better just report this unexpected variable. For some reason my intuition says that handsome old man will disturb the Demonic Cult in the future.”
He wrote a message on a scroll and ordered the undead pigeon monster to take the message to the First Grand Elder, Mo Yijian.
Mo Yijian was the Grand Elder who lived in Phoenix City, where the Martial Alliance headquarters was located and also where the Tianzun Sect was located. The woman was the right hand of the Demon Emperor in the past and had a strange personality, where she only wanted to absorb the life energy of young virgins.
Gu Haitang didn't dare to face the woman, he preferred to fight against a Sect because no one could guess her personality. As if he would be sent to the underworld if the woman smiled and seduced him. If he hadn't been accompanied by the Seventh Grand Elder, maybe he would have been devoured by the old woman who always looked beautiful even though she was thousands of years old.
"I'd better find a replacement for madam soon. Who do you think the right seed to plant in that city is?" muttered Gu Haitang, thinking for a moment. “If I'm not mistaken, the first young master is known as the trash young master, while the second young master is the pride and joy of the city lord. He-he-he… it seems like it would be very interesting if I raised the first young master. He will become the protagonist who rises to become a strong Swordsman and takes revenge on those who have insulted him.” The corner of his lips curled into a wide grin imagining the scene of family disputes in the city near the lake created by Xuan Ji.
Gu Haitang suddenly disappeared, a cloud of black despair shot towards the city and entered the room of the first young master who was unconscious from drinking too much alcohol.
Gu Haitang placed the Demon Mirror on the left chest of the first young master. Then the Demon Mirror entered his body and lodged in his heart.
“Shock this city, O my seed. Grow strong, absorb the spiritual energy of those who underestimate you,” whispered Gu Haitang into the ear of the first young master who was convulsing.
