Chapter 2269 The Real Secret of the Scabbard

It wasn't until Su Yi and Feng Wuji disappeared that the young man in Confucian robes withdrew his gaze.

He slowly sat back in his seat and fell into deep thought.

"Your Majesty, why don't you kill him? With just one order from you, my subordinates are absolutely sure to kill him!"

Suddenly, a voice came from the black earthen jar on the altar.

"Can't fight."

The young man in Confucian robes shook his head slightly, "The person in charge of reincarnation is too special. If he fails, it will be nothing more than death. But if we fail... we will never be able to come back to this world again. The price... is too high!"

After saying that, he sighed.

"Your Majesty has suffered such a great shame and humiliation, we can't just let it go!!"

The voice inside the black earthen jar was filled with murderous intent, "In the era of the Five Emperors, who would dare to be so disrespectful to Your Majesty?"

"okay."

The young man in Confucian robes interrupted, "It's just some humiliation, and it's not a life-and-death ordeal, so what's the point?"

Suddenly, the sound of the black earthen jar fell silent.

The eyes of the young man in Confucian robes quietly turned dark, and he whispered: "If I can have a good relationship with Su Yi, it would be a good thing for me!"

Having said that, a teacup exploded into pieces between his palms, turning into powder and falling to the ground from between his fingers.

This movement made the creature in the black earthen jar acutely aware that his heart was not as peaceful as it seemed!

…

Outside the Huandao Blood Cave.

Feng Wuji took a long breath and left the terrifying ninth floor alive, which made him feel as if he was in another world.

"Brother Su, in my opinion, you must not take what Taishu Gong said seriously. Any good karma or alliance may have ulterior motives!"

Feng Wuji couldn't help but said.

Su Yi smiled and said, "That's all for the future, don't worry about it."

Taishu Gong, a terrifying existence known as the Great Emperor of Heaven!

This kind of person's thoughts are also the most difficult to guess.

Su Yi had no intention of speculating. As he said, that was all a matter for the future.

He glanced at the Demon Ancestor Luohu carried on Feng Wuji's back and said, "This old guy has woken up a long time ago. You can go and chat alone."

Feng Wuji was stunned. His ancestor was already awake?

On his back, Demon Ancestor Luohu didn't react at all and remained in a coma.

"He is still not sure how I will treat him, and he is not sure why you and I rescued him together. Naturally, he can only continue to pretend to be dead."

Su Yi sarcastically said, "Go ahead, you guys talk first."

Feng Wuji quickly turned around and left with Demon Ancestor Luo Hu.

Su Yi put the Night Hou on his back on the ground, checked it briefly, and couldn't help but frown.

This old guy is seriously injured! !

There is a thick air of death remaining in the body, and the vitality is extremely weak.

After thinking for a moment, Su Yi took out the remaining "He Qiu Divine Brew" and fed it into Hou Yehou's mouth.

After a while, Hou Ye's thin body trembled suddenly and he slowly opened his eyes.

"Your Excellency...who is it?"

Hou Yehou was confused.

"Floating between heaven and earth, like a drop in the vast ocean."

Su Yi smiled and said, "Now, do you know who I am?"

Hou Yehou's cloudy and dim eyes suddenly brightened up, and he said excitedly: "Brother Fuyou, it's you!!"

Immediately, he coughed violently, his face turned pale, his energy suddenly became sluggish, and his face was covered with a gray and dead air.

Su Yi immediately took out a handful of healing magic medicine and was about to heal Hou Ye, but was rejected by him.

"It's useless. My life source is seriously damaged. It's a waste of your magic medicine to use on me."

Hou Yehou's voice was hoarse and he said intermittently, "Brother, if I can't hold on and die, you can refine me and make a scabbard for you. After all, I am also a Chaos Tree born in the earliest days of God's Domain... …”

Su Yi interrupted: "Stop thinking nonsense, as long as I am here, I will never let anything happen to you."

Hou Yehou's lips wriggled, and a smile appeared on his thin and pale old face, and he said: "Then let's not talk about this. Do you know why I have fallen into this situation?"

As he spoke, his chest rose and fell violently, and then he opened his mouth and spat out a piece of black jade.

"Just because of it!"

Hou Ye said, "The only piece of Chaos Mysterious Stone left in the Huandao Blood Cave!"

Chaos Black Stone!

It contains the "Xuan Qi of Chaos", and this mysterious power is related to breaking through impermanence and searching for the secret of eternity.

This thing is one of the highest treasures in the world, and it can be called a truly supreme creation! It will be of great help to the Nine Refiners God Lord in his pursuit of the mystery of the river of destiny! !

Li Fuyou came here for this reason.

The demon ancestor Luohu was trapped here, which is also related to the search for this object.

But now, such a treasure appeared in front of Su Yi.

"That Taishu Gong is indeed an extraordinary guy. He has touched the threshold of the river of destiny. He also knows that this chaotic black stone is in my body. He could have killed me to get this treasure."

Hou Ye's voice was weak, "But he didn't do anything cruel. Instead, he threatened that sooner or later, he would make me serve him wholeheartedly. At that time, he would ask me for the Chaos Mysterious Stone."

As he said this, he seemed to realize something, "How could he be willing to let you rescue him?"

Su Yi said casually: "The situation is stronger than the person, so he has to bow his head. If you don't say this, I will take you out of here and help you heal your injuries in the future. You can rest peacefully."

Hou Ye said: "You accept the Chaos Black Stone, and I will leave with you."

Su Yi said angrily: "Are you polite to me?"

Hou Yehou smiled and said: "Then don't be polite to me!"

Su Yi no longer hesitated, put away the Chaos Black Stone, and said, "Okay?"

Hou Ye nodded and said: "Brother Fuyou, if I can see you again, I have nothing to regret even if I die now."

"Don't think about healing my wounds. For now...just let me be silent...long years have passed, and I have lost sight of life and death...for a long time!"

The voice was still echoing, and his figure suddenly turned into a withered sapling, only a few feet tall, with scorched branches and a thick layer of deathly air covering its trunk.

This is the body of Evernight Hou.

A tea tree born in the early days of the Divine Realm.

Su Yi put away the tea tree and kept it in the Patian Furnace. At the same time, he told the Patian Furnace to use the power of the immortal crystal to water the tea tree every day.

This was to extend the life of Hou Ye. Although the cost would be staggering, Su Yi didn't feel bad at all.

Moreover, he plans to find a magical item to restore vitality for Evernight Hou in the future!

"I have helped you so much this time, should you give me the Chaos Black Stone in return?"

Suddenly, a voice suddenly sounded.

Su Yi, however, remained calm and said, "You are a demon in your heart, what do you need the Chaos Mysterious Stone for?"

"You don't need to guess my intentions. I just want you to pay the price for it. You should know that there is a balance of opposites in everything in the world."

"Gain and loss, life and death, permanence and impermanence, and even the ordinary strong and weak, high and low, big and small, good and evil, are all like this."

"In front of Mingkong Mountain, I helped you fight against the enemy, and now under the Huandao Blood Cave, I have done you a big favor. You...should pay the price for it!"

The voice was talking eloquently, but people couldn't tell its source.

"You got what you deserved, didn't you?"

Su Yi took out the rotten sword from its scabbard and said, "It would be ridiculous to make such a request now."

"What did I get?"

That voice came from the rotten scabbard.

"Do you really think I don't know that every time I use the scabbard, you take the opportunity to swallow all kinds of power to strengthen yourself?"

Su Yi's eyes were deep and calm, "This is your harvest, isn't it?"

"This is bullshit!"

In the scabbard, the voice yelled, "In my eyes, what's the difference between those powers and worthless power?"

Su Yi said lightly: "If that's all, that's fine, but don't tell me that you don't want to help me."

The voice suddenly fell silent.

After a while, he spoke again: "You...have guessed it?"

"good."

Su Yi said, "When you want me to be in danger, use your power. Only in this way will I gradually become dependent on you and never be able to leave you again."

"If that day comes, it will not be difficult for you to invade my state of mind, and this...maybe your ultimate intention, to take my place."

As he said that, Su Yi shook his head, "It's a pity that you can't do it. In the past, some of my previous lives were just like you, trying to take my place, but... they all failed."

"So, you also know who I am?"

The voice in the rotten scabbard became calmer.

"certainly."

Su Yi said, "You are the inner demon of the first life."

The voice in the rotten scabbard said: "Inner demon? No, he and I are just two sides of the same body, just like darkness and light. Without light, how would the world know what darkness is?"

“If there is no darkness, how would the world know what light is?”

"The balance between opposition and coexistence is the eternal order of existence in the world. This is true for everything, the same is true for the avenues of the heavens, and the same is true for everyone's path of pursuit."

"At the beginning, he was just winning in his mind, so he regarded me as a demon in his heart and sealed me in the scabbard."

"Have you ever thought that if I had won, he would have been treated as a demon by me and sealed away in one fell swoop!"

Su Yi understood what the other party meant.

In the first life, in order to pursue the path of the supreme sword, there was probably something wrong with his state of mind!

Therefore, he swung his sword to kill the inner demon and sealed it in the scabbard.

Inner demons are born from one's own state of mind. Delusions, obsessions, distracting thoughts, evil thoughts... and even confusion encountered in the state of mind may turn into inner demons!

Undoubtedly, the inner demons of the first life were due to differences in the path of seeking!

For example, what this inner demon said is a kind of swordsmanship that is similar to opposition and balance.

This was destined to have an irreconcilable conflict with the swordsmanship that the first life wanted.

Therefore, he resolutely slays his inner demons and chooses to be reincarnated and rebuild!

Similarly, if in the first life he believed that the path pursued by his inner demon was the right one, he would definitely cut off his reincarnation and rebuild this path!

However, knowing it clearly, Su Yi would not have other ideas because of this.

To him, this decayed scabbard was just a whetstone. What is sharpened is the sword of the heart!
