My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 1382 - 499: Assault on Kunxu (Part 2)

"When you say 'all living beings,' are you referring to mortals?"

Zhang Huaiqing nodded and said, "I can somewhat understand your perspective, but doing this is rather extreme."

"Enough, now is not the time to debate with you. Be prepared to deal with that old thing."

Li Guanfu glanced to the side, "Jiang girl, it's your turn."

"Hmm."

Jiang Xiyue nodded heavily and then wielded the Taiyin Sword, deliberately injecting mana with demonic qi into the Destructive Spirit Array. The aftermath rippled out, extending thousands of miles.

With her enhancement, the Destructive Spirit Array became more ferocious, and the cries of the seven-colored Qilin were endless. Its body also shrank, seemingly about to be completely sealed into the Spiritual Pearl.

At that moment, a vast mana, like the Milky Way, suddenly descended from beyond the Nine Heavens, fiercely crashing onto the Spiritual Pearl.

"Crack—"

The Destructive Spirit Array trembled violently.

The chains binding the seven-colored Qilin broke one by one. It regained its freedom, transforming into a stream of light that returned to the earth, leaving no sound behind.

The Destructive Spirit Array above also began to collapse and contract rapidly. The surrounding anomalies dispersed, vanishing like an illusion realm.

Only a damaged Spiritual Pearl fell to the grass with a "plop."

The Destructive Spirit Array was destroyed!

A gentle breeze blew around, and a frail figure suddenly appeared in everyone's sight. It was none other than the Human World's number one cultivator, the Holy Sect Kunxu's Elder, the Immortal Tianyuan, Xuan Qiongzi.

At over two thousand six hundred years old, Xuan Qiongzi, dressed in an extremely loose robe, appeared as if he had just awoken from a nap.

His hoarse and aged voice echoed, "I say, Li Guanfu, have you lost your mind? I really can't figure out why destroying the Danque mountains benefits you."

"Why would I want any benefits?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Li Guanfu placed his hands behind his back and sneered, "As long as you die."

"Just the three of you?"

Xuan Qiongzi's cloudy eyes scanned over them and finally rested on the blind girl, "Girl, you must be Qingyao's child? Speaking of which, I'm also your master's elder. You've been wandering outside for years, surely you've suffered, right?

"Sigh~

"Blame Qingyao's stubborn nature.

"Back then, if some things had been communicated clearly, there was no need for this outcome.

"The same holds now!"

Like a kind elder, he gestured to the blind girl, "Child, come back with your master's elder. Your mother is waiting for you. Don't worry, the Demon Seed matter won't harm you."

The blind girl remained indifferent.

"Enough."

Zhang Huaiqing interrupted, "Xuan Qiongzi, stop your false pretenses."

"False pretenses?"

Xuan Qiongzi shook his head, "Huaiqing, how can you slander an elder so casually? Ever since Jiang girl was born, her flesh has been used to seal the Demon Seed, and as time passes, their connection grows ever closer, practically merging into one."

"But...

"This doesn't mean they can't be separated.

"I can personally set up an array to extract Jiang girl's Divine Soul from her flesh, and deep within the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range grows a precious seven-colored lotus that can be used to reconstruct her body.

"Thus, we could retrieve the Demon Seed without harming the girl. Isn't that the best of both worlds?"

"Stop making false promises here."

Zhang Huaiqing scolded, "The seven-colored lotus is legendary. Where could you get one?!"

Xuan Qiongzi spread open his palm, revealing a piece of jade marrow emitting an auspicious glow, "Then look, what is this?"

A seven-colored lotus!

"And there's more."

He continued to raise the stakes, "After everything is done, I will also release Qingyao, allowing you to reunite with your mother and daughter. Surely the upper realm Immortals won't investigate further..."

Zhang Huaiqing frowned slightly, looking at the blind girl beside him.

Lord Taishan's greatest wish is to protect his daughter and rescue Nangong Qingyao, imprisoned in the Immortal Prison.

Now, the conditions Xuan Qiongzi offered seem to perfectly fulfill these two points.

If at this moment, Jiang Xiyue decided to give up and instead wished to reunite with her mother, it seemed there would be no reason to intervene further.

"Good girl."

Xuan Qiongzi coaxed, "Over the years, with the Demon Seed sealed in you, you've suffered a lot, haven't you? Come over to your master's elder; those days will be over."

As everyone thought Jiang Xiyue had no reason to refuse, she suddenly drew the Taiyin Sword, the blade pointing directly at the old man's face.

Xuan Qiongzi's furrowed face froze, and the previously warm gaze turned cold.

"The Demon Seed will not be given to you."

Jiang Xiyue enunciated each word with determination.

The depths of her murderous eyes concealed flickering waves, and she seemed to catch a whiff of a distasteful alcohol scent, while a familiar voice faintly resounded in her ears.

"Girl, let this letter serve as my presence.

"When you wake, Father might no longer be here. Please let me address myself this way, regardless of whether you acknowledge me as your father.

"My whole life, I've wronged you and your mother in many ways.

"It's laughable.

"I always considered myself a genius, yet in the end, I couldn't accomplish anything. Not only did I place my remaining hopes on Shi Tou, but I also have to ask something of you."

"You heard right; father owes you so much, yet even in death, I ask of you.

"No matter what happens, do not hand over the Demon Seed!

"Protecting the Demon Seed from the Immortals is the reason your mother came to the mortal world and has insisted to this day.
