"What's the relationship?" The old blind man snorted and laughed, revealing a sarcastic tone.
"That crazy woman's cultivation speed was really fast back then, so fast that even Zhufeng couldn't catch up. Obviously, his aptitude is unique in the entire cultivation world. If he slows down, his achievements may not be inferior to that crazy woman."
"But he did everything he could to catch up with that crazy woman, using all kinds of extreme means to break through the obstacles in his practice. It's a pity that the physical obstacles are easy to break through, but the mental level is not so easy to pass."
"Guess who came up with the method of violently slashing illusions that is now circulating in the cultivation world?"
The old blind man looked at Jiang Yuebai with a smile on his face and asked.
The answer was self-evident. Jiang Yuebai continued, "It was Zhufeng. In order to break through the Void Refining Stage as soon as possible, he forced his own illusions to converge into one clone and cut it with a sword. Are you the illusion clone he cut out?"
The old blind man nodded slowly, "That's right. My slovenly and unsightly appearance was all a falsehood that he didn't want that crazy woman to see. It's a pity that his approach at the time was immature, and he also cut off part of his rationality, and failed to completely kill me, so I escaped."
Jiang Yuebai sighed inwardly, as expected, thinking that the old blind man deliberately showed himself blind, could it be that he was mocking Zhufeng for being blind
"But now I doubt that Zhufeng let me escape on purpose. I am here so that he can use me as an anchor after he ascends and occasionally influence the people and things in this world. He is not that crazy woman and does not have that much power to fight against the laws of heaven."
"That guy, the thing that should be killed the most is his infatuation with that crazy woman. I really don't know what's so good about that crazy woman. She makes Zhufeng like a mad dog. If I were to ask him, if he could cut off his relationship earlier and practice the ruthless sword, that crazy woman would definitely die under his sword. How could there be the current catastrophe of heaven?"
The old blind man was extremely disdainful of Lu Xingyun, and Jiang Yuebai could see that he was indeed more "rational" than Zhufeng.
So he and Zhufeng have the same goal, but their approaches are different.
Zhufeng still cares whether Lu Xingyun has ever had true feelings for him. He wants to break Lu Xingyun's ruthlessness and also wants an answer from Lu Xingyun.
In comparison, the old blind man doesn’t care about these things, he just wants Lu Xingyun to die.
But no matter what they did, in the end, they would all take Jiang Yuebai's life. No one treated her as a living person, but just as a pawn to deal with Lu Xingyun.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuebai could no longer suppress the anger and murderous intent.
The old blind man noticed something and smiled bitterly, "Don't bother to kill me. I don't have much time left to live. In fact, when Zhufeng ascended to the fairyland, I should have disappeared between heaven and earth. It is only in this mermaid country that I can linger on."
In the kingdom of mermaids, many souls have to wait for a long time before they can be arranged to reincarnate. Those who are lucky only have to wait for one or two days, while those who are unlucky may have to wait for one or two hundred years.
Therefore, in the Mermaid Kingdom, the flow of time is very slow, almost stagnant, to ensure that those souls will not die in the waiting process.
The old blind man can only survive by hiding here. If he leaves, he will die soon.
He has been holding on for so long and is almost reaching his limit.
"By the way, there is one more thing you have to thank me for."
The old blind man suddenly spoke, and Jiang Yuebai looked over.
"Your grandfather, Tao, was brought to the Mermaid Country by me so that he could be reborn."
"What?!"
Jiang Yuebai was shocked.
Jiang Yuebai nodded.
"In my earliest memory, I remember that I wanted to go and see if Xie Jingshan had practiced swordsmanship well. I happened to see your grandfather's soul being eroded by a poison. Strangely enough, there was a strange cloud fungus next to him that could detoxify and save his life. Unfortunately, the cloud fungus was affected by the law of time and he couldn't see it."
"I just gave it to him to eat, and took his relatively intact soul to the Mermaid Country to recuperate and wait for reincarnation. I originally wanted to use your grandfather's soul to threaten you, but I felt that he was not involved in the plot, and it would be bad to implicate innocent people, so I let him reincarnate."
"Everyone is afraid of death, and Zhufeng is no exception. I was killed by him, so I am naturally very afraid of death and don't want to die in your hands. Now I have done you a favor, so can you spare the life of this dying old man?"
Jiang Yuebai frowned and thought that he might not be able to kill the old blind man.
The old blind man added, "In exchange, I can tell you everything I know, as long as you ask and I know, how about that?"
Jiang Yuebai knew when to stop. At this point, the old blind man knew that he couldn't kill her.
Because of her "rebirth", Xie Jingshan, Zhuo Qingfeng and Zhu Feng's connection should have become very weak, so weak that it would not cause any impact. The old blind man's original idea of letting Xie Jingshan kill her to prove his truth and enter the ruthless sword path was shattered.
There is no conflict between them for the time being, but they have a common goal.
Kill Lu Xingyun.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuebai also sat on the ground, leaning against the Zhulong Spear, ready to have a good chat.
"Lu... What kind of person is that crazy woman you mentioned? Also, I'm curious about what kind of world she came from that made her want to go back at all costs."
The old blind man expected her to ask this, so he shook his head and said, "No one knows where she came from. Zhufeng only heard her mention it, saying that she had relatives in that world that she couldn't leave behind, and that she had unfinished business, but these were all her own words."
"That crazy woman's surname was Lu. Her original name was Lu Qingning. She was from a small immortal cultivation family at the time. She was born with balanced aptitude and five spiritual roots that were almost full. In ancient times, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was abundant. Such spiritual roots were more rare and outstanding than the natural spiritual bodies of today. They were called chaotic spiritual roots."
"So she was hidden by the family as soon as she was born and raised in secret. At that time, no one even knew that there was a girl in the Lu family. Zhu Feng later carefully inquired about her background and found that everything was normal before she was twelve years old."
"When she was twelve, Lu Qingning failed in her retreat to form an elixir for unknown reasons. She was seriously injured and on the verge of death. Her cultivation and spiritual roots were completely destroyed. After that, she was abandoned by her family and thrown into a Taoist temple outside to fend for herself. Everyone thought she was dead, but she wasn't. After she woke up, her personality changed drastically."
"The Lu family thought she was possessed by someone else. They investigated many times but found nothing. But they didn't take her back just because she woke up. Her spiritual roots were still useless. The Lu family gave her some spiritual stones and let her live alone in the Taoist temple. When she left the Taoist temple later, the Lu family didn't know."
"She became famous after she formed a golden elixir. She seemed to be less than 20 years old at that time. In the territory of Guiyuan Sword Sect, she defeated the ten golden elixir-stage sword cultivators of Guiyuan Sword Sect in a row. Zhufeng was not in the sect at that time. When he came back and found out, he chased after her to challenge her, but he still lost in the end."
"Zhu Feng refused to admit defeat and chased her all the way, challenging her whenever he had the chance, but he was defeated repeatedly. Later, the two encountered danger in the mountains, and they fought together and became friends. She told Zhu Feng that her name was Lu Xingyun, and since then, this name has become more and more famous in the world of cultivation."
What happened later was similar to what Jiang Yuebai had seen in Zhufeng's memory. Zhufeng and Lu Xingyun traveled together, supporting each other, and slowly developed from friends to Taoist companions.
"Then why did Lu Xingyun suddenly break off his relationship with Zhufeng?" Jiang Yuebai asked.
The old blind man smiled bitterly, "Then you should blame Zhufeng for being wishful thinking and saying the wrong thing, which provoked that crazy woman."
