Chapter 40: The Sword Energy of the Exterminated Immortal

  This counts as yesterday's

  "Humph, you're heartless! This sword manual, I was going to pass it down to my child. Can't I keep a copy?"

  "Jiū mèi, have you gone mad? When have the Tian Yao ever left anyone alive? You are one of us, I can only promise you that after killing you and this child, your souls will be free to reincarnate." The short Taoist's words sent a chill down Bai Qi's spine.

  Is this how one's own kind is treated? What origin does this demon clan have?

  "Is that so, thank you," said Yulin, taking out a painting scroll over two feet wide and holding it in her hand. "He didn't teach me any secret techniques, otherwise I wouldn't be like this today. However, he did leave behind this sword manual, which I still can't decipher after all these years."

  "Give it to me!" The short Taoist stretched out his hand to grab, Yu Lin Dang shrank back and said: "If you can't unfold it properly, the sword spectrum will be damaged, wouldn't that be breaking my promise and harming the souls of my mother and son?"

  That short and stout Taoist was taken aback, but then thought that this Rain Lin Dang wouldn't be able to come up with anything else, so he let her do it. With no other cultivators around, these two mother and son were already in the palm of his hand.

  Yu Lin Dang said to Bai Qi behind him: "Qi'er, take a look, this is the sword spectrum left by your biological father."

  As he spoke, Yu Lin rang slowly unfolded the painting, and the short Taoist was taken aback, slightly angry: "Are you playing tricks on us?"

  The scroll unfolded, and Bai Qi was taken aback. This was a painting in his study, with a scholar as its central figure, walking with a sword in hand. The scholar had only a back view, with high mountains blocking the way ahead and ice and snow piled underfoot. Although the painting depicted natural scenery, it seemed to contain all the ups and downs of the world within its black and white hues.

  In the upper right corner of the painting, there is a poem with hasty and disorderly handwriting, as if it was written in a hurry to tear off.

  Drunkenness inspires poetry

  One angry glance and the eyebrows become horizontal

  Killing less than a hundred

  Butcher Xian over 100,000

  This painting has been seen by Bai Qi since he was a child, and nothing can be seen from it. Now his mother brings it up, saying it's his father's sword scripture, no wonder that Taoist got angry.

  Just as he thought of this, the scholar on the painting suddenly drew his sword out of its scabbard, and a strand of sword energy that could destroy heaven and earth burst forth. Bai Qi felt that his hands and feet had turned cold, but only in the area between his chest and abdomen, where the strange space was located, his vital energy could still circulate normally.

  That Rain Lin Ding was the same, she ignited the sword energy in this painting, and the damage she suffered was not small at all. The sword energy destroyed all worldly desires, nothing could stop the power of this one sword, whether it be ruler and subject, father and son, wife and children, teacher and friend.

  "Slashing Immortal Sword..." The short Taoist priest only managed to say three words before being strangled by the sword energy, and his entire body was destroyed, not a single thing remained, truly turning into dust.

  The other two Taoists wanted to escape, but their speed was no match for this sword light.

  After two flashes of swords, those two Taoists also disappeared from the mountain ridge, as if they had never existed before.

  "Ah Nang!" Bai Qi exclaimed, and the sword energy returned to the painting. Yu Linzhong fell softly to the ground.

  Bai Qi hastily picked up Yu Lin Dang and took out a bunch of bottles from the ring, anxiously saying: "Mother, which one is for treating injuries?"

  Lin Tong opened his eyes, then closed them again and said: "Go down below, by the river, there is a forest."

  Bai Qi reluctantly picked up the Rain Bell, and with a burst of speed, he found the hidden clearing that the Rain Bell had spoken of. Putting down the Rain Bell, Bai Qi was somewhat at a loss for what to do next.

  After more than a quarter of an hour, Yu Lin Dang finally opened her eyes again, sat up and leaned against a tree. Bai Qi saw that she was not even as good as an ordinary person in her movements, and knew something was wrong.

  "Get up and bring me the smallest bottle."

  Bai Qi heard this and quickly took over the bottle, handing it to Yu Linzhong.

  "Pick up the rest." Yu Lin Ting saw Bai Qi's bottles scattered all over the floor and forced a smile. After all, he was just a child, what a pity, she wouldn't be able to teach him anymore. Yu Lin Ting opened one of the bottles, poured out the only golden pill inside, and swallowed it. She knew she wouldn't survive, nor did she worry about Heaven's Court discovering her taking the pill.

  After I die, I guess my soul will return to Xianzhou. The place where I grew up and the hometown that I abandoned.

  The medicine took effect, and Yu Linzhong's spirit suddenly improved. Even the injuries in his meridians were almost recovered. Unfortunately, the sword intent of that one sword caused Yu Linzhong's old wounds to recur, and the demon pill was broken. Even if an immortal treated him, he could live for at most two or three years. What significance is there in this?

  "Get up, sit down, Mother is going to die, many things won't be said, there will never be another chance to mention them with you." Yu Lin pointed at the land in front of her and let Bai Qi sit there.

  Bai Qi saw her being serious and didn't dare to disobey, so he sat down.

  "A cultivator, going against the heavens, but when it's really time to die, no one can do anything about it. Alright, calm down and listen to me. I was originally a heavenly demon from Xianzhou, born with spiritual energy. In Xianzhou, humans and demons coexisted, and this demonic tribe didn't suffer any discrimination. When my spiritual awareness opened up, a Daoist cultivator took me in as his disciple and taught me the method of forming an elixir for longevity. However, although this Daoist was very powerful, he didn't have any sect, and only accepted two disciples."

  Yu Lin Dang took a deep breath and continued: "Later, Master survived the heavenly tribulation, ascended to immortality, and left us two behind. My sister and I didn't get along, so we went our separate ways, wandering around the mainland. I joined a sect formed by heavenly demons because my strength was decent, ranking ninth. In the demon world, the strong are respected, regardless of who came first or last." Yu Lin Dang smiled as she spoke, seemingly reminiscent of her carefree life in Xiangzhou.

  Later, I formed the Golden Elixir and my strength greatly increased. The sect I joined also became one of the larger forces in Xiangzhou. Until one day, a calamitous star appeared in Xiangzhou...

  Yulin said, taking out the painting again and unfolding it. This time, however, she didn't use her Taoist magic, and the sword energy hidden within the painting did not erupt.

  Yu Lin Dang looked at the scholar on the painting and said calmly, "It's him, your biological father."

  "This guy is a sword cultivator, specializing in finding trouble with the demon tribe. A large number of demons in the sect were killed by him, all with just one sword strike, never needing to make a second move. At that time, I had already reached the late stage of refining my spirit and returning to emptiness, my golden elixir was fully formed, and I thought I was invincible under heaven, so I took the initiative to go find him, to decide life or death."

  Yu Lin rang smiled and explained to Bai Qi: "In the nine states of the world, people who cultivate immortality rarely go out. After returning to emptiness in the later period, they are almost the strongest existence. I thought I could easily kill him, but unexpectedly, this person made a bet with me, and I lost, and I was convinced. Of course, the bet was that I would marry him, and from then on, he would no longer bother the demon tribe."

  Yu Lin Dang said up to here, straightened his body, put the painting scroll beside him, and continued: "At that time I was only over 1,200 years old, still young, where did I understand the human heart is treacherous?"

  Bai Qi sounds awkward no matter how you listen to it, but thinking that I'm also a demon, I estimate that when I'm 1,200 years old, I'll be like Mother and feel very young.

  "Your father, a member of the Sword Clan, was originally looking for me. I went to him myself, and you say, isn't it stupid?" Yu Lin Dang sighed, she was a demon, and didn't care about human love affairs, but the person who deceived him was a natural genius, Yu Lin Dang knew that he was flawless in every way. Such a person also had great appeal to demons."

  Bai Qi didn't know how to respond, and his mother's tone made him feel like he should be resentful towards this person. However, the breathtakingly beautiful sword aura evoked a sense of admiration in him instead.

  "After getting married, the two of us lived a happy life. Above the Xianzhou, there was no existence of the Great Jin Dynasty, everything was controlled by the Refiners. The two of us joined forces, even if it were a famous sect or school, they wouldn't dare to provoke us. I thought that I had found someone trustworthy, but who knew, this person approached me because he took a liking to my Tianyao physique and innate talent for cultivation. He only wanted to have a son with exceptional talents."

  Bai Qi felt somewhat inexplicable, such thoughts shouldn't be considered unforgivable, right?

  Yu Lin Dang said up to here, turned his body sideways, carefully looked at the scroll of painting that scholar's back, resentfully said: "He wants you to be born, but it is for the purpose of transmigration and usurpation. He has cultivated the Lian Xian sword to the point of absolute perfection in the mortal world, the vitality in his body has long been destroyed, relying only on the unparalleled Taoist skills to protect his soul."

  Bai Qi was shocked by Yu Lin's words. His own biological father had planned to kill him before he was even born?

  "So I took advantage of when I was pregnant with you and killed him. He was very arrogant, treating me as his wife, and didn't have much guard against me. After having a child, he couldn't imagine that I would plot against him. This demon, I used to be an idiot, it was him who taught me that in this world, everyone must be guarded against."

  Bai Qi couldn't help but shiver at the thought of his own biological father being killed by his mother.

  "Come on, the world of cultivation has always been like this, you don't have to be disheartened. I was wrong about you, not everyone cultivates the ruthless and unyielding Way of the Sword of Execution. Your father wouldn't have been so cruel if he hadn't cultivated incorrectly. Look, Bai Jian knew you weren't his biological child, yet he was willing to die for you."

  "Father... what's going on with Bai Jian?"

  Yu Lin Ting smiled and said: "After I killed that person, I was also seriously injured. In the school gate, those who usually flattered me began to think about taking action against me. That person's Xian sword is not a good thing, but its power is unmatched, and everyone wants it. I could only escape across the sea and come to this Zhongzhou continent. Your father is human, but if you were born, you would still be a demon, so you didn't descend from my belly for more than three years. I wandered around the mainland, wanting to find a place to shelter me, and coincidentally met Bai Jian, who was young at that time."

  "At that time, he was in the northwest, suppressing the Heavenly Wolf King, and his reputation was unmatched. On the road, he encountered me, who was injured and had a relapse, and purely out of kindness took me in, without thinking of using this demon. However, later on, Emperor Jin poisoned him, not killing him but making it so that he could no longer have children. Coincidentally, his wife at home was having a difficult childbirth and gave birth to a girl named Xiaoyu, who couldn't inherit the title. Of course, the worst part is that the White family's true dragon seven kill gun technique would be cut off in his hands."

  Yu Lin Dang said briefly, Bai Qi listened clearly, it turned out that Bai Jian had actively swapped the newborn child, and he himself became the young master, the heir of Wei Guo Gong.

  Bai Jian let his own mother be a servant for sixteen years, but Bai Qi couldn't bring up even a hint of resentment.
