Lu Xuan brought Liu Haotian and, under the guidance of Shi Buyi, met the headmaster of Hunyuan Dao, Xuan Yangzi, in a hall.
This was the second time Lu Xuan saw Xuan Yangzi. The last time was on the Blood God Cult’s territory. At that time, he just glanced at him from a distance.
Compared to that time when he was so powerful that he could almost fight against an entire legion on his own.
The Xuan Yangzi in front of him seemed much more approachable, and ordinary people couldn't even sense the aura of true energy from him.
It was obvious that he was deliberately restraining his own aura, but the fact that he could restrain it to this extent was enough to show how powerful Xuan Yangzi was.
He had wasted so much time in the Spirit Transformation Realm, but it was not completely without gain.
However, this still could not hide from Lu Xuan's perception. In Lu Xuan's perception, there was a terrifying power hidden in Xuan Yangzi. He was like a little sun, with terrifying energy hidden in his body.
"This little brother has recovered the bloodline of the Saint Clan for our Hunyuan Dao. I am very grateful to you!"
Xuan Yangzi actually stood up and bowed.
Xuan Yangzi's performance even surprised Shi Buyi, but Lu Xuan did not avoid Xuan Yangzi's greeting. Given his status, he could afford Xuan Yangzi's three kneelings and nine kowtows.
However, he was also a little surprised. No matter from his apparent identity or strength, Xuan Yangzi should not have this attitude.
Could it be that he really is sincere about accepting Liu Haotian
This was somewhat beyond Lu Xuan's expectations!
"I haven't said I'll hand him over to you yet!"
Lu Xuan narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
Shi Buyi's face suddenly showed a bit of displeasure. In his heart, Xuan Yangzi was not only his ancestor, but also his life benchmark. He didn't feel too much about Lu Xuan's coldness towards him, but he felt a little unhappy that Lu Xuan was so cold and rude to Xuan Yangzi.
However, he quickly restrained his expression. As a leader of the next generation of Hunyuan Dao, he still had some self-restraint.
Xuan Yangzi straightened his back, looked at Lu Xuan, and said, "Little brother, what else are you worried about? Besides, I still don't know your name!"
Shi Buyi also looked at Lu Xuan with some surprise, because even he didn't know Lu Xuan's name.
Lu Xuan is now famous all over the world, but in fact, no one knows what Lu Xuan's name is.
The truth is that Lu Xuan appeared for too short a time, rising like a comet, and no one knew any specific information about him.
"Lu Xuan!"
Lu Xuan paused, then spoke.
"I believe you are also very clear about my concerns. I want to know where your Hunyuan Dao was when the Liu family was destroyed decades ago. Since you keep saying that the establishment of Hunyuan Dao is related to the Saint Clan, and you have also received this favor, why did you sit back and watch this happen?"
This was also the doubt in Lu Xuan's mind. There was a serious gap between what Hunyuan Dao said and what he did.
If it was true as they said, that they valued the bloodline of the Holy Clan so much, why would they sit idly by and watch the Liu family be destroyed? If they didn't value it, why did Xuan Yangzi act so seriously about it
With Xuan Yangzi's strength, if he really got angry and had bad intentions, the most convenient way would be to take direct action.
However, Xuan Yangzi did not choose to attack directly, which was why Lu Xuan did not turn hostile. If Xuan Yangzi intended to oppress him directly, then Lu Xuan would have no choice but to attack directly.
Xuan Yangzi’s strength is extremely terrifying, but Lu Xuan is also confident that he can escape unscathed.
This is the reason why Lu Xuan dared to follow. Apart from anything else, just relying on the time and space travel of the Chaos Zhentian Bell, Lu Xuan could escape in an instant.
However, if it really comes to that, when Lu Xuan recovers his strength, the first thing he will do is, of course, revenge.
"Well, since Fellow Daoist Lu said so, then I can only tell you the reason behind it!"
Xuan Yangzi sighed.
Shi Buyi, who was standing by, suddenly widened his eyes. He heard something. He heard Xuan Yangzi actually call Lu Xuan "fellow Daoist".
You know, Xuan Yangzi is not only extremely powerful, known as the best master in the world, but most importantly, he is of a high generation, being of the same generation as his master.
In this whole world, the number of people who are qualified to be called fellow Taoists by him can probably be counted on one hand.
If an ordinary person could be addressed as a fellow Taoist, he could brag about it for the rest of his life. But looking at Lu Xuan's expression, he didn't seem moved at all, as if it was all very normal.
He didn't know why the master suddenly changed his words and called him fellow Taoist, but it was not a good time to ask at this time. He just felt that Lu Xuan was even more unfathomable.
Lu Xuan frowned. He didn't expect that Xuan Yangzi would change his words so quickly. It seemed that he had noticed something.
"It's embarrassing to say that Hunyuan Dao itself was a sect founded by the Holy Clan in order to resist the Blood God Cult and protect the descendants of the Holy Clan. But that was a long, long time ago. Many elders and disciples now no longer take this as their responsibility!" Xuan Yangzi said after a breath.
He felt very emotional about all this. Few people really remembered or cared about the purpose of establishing Hunyuan Dao.
After all, at the beginning, they were wholeheartedly assisting the later Saints in fighting against the Blood Demon, but the Blood Demon has not come for many years, and the Saints have not awakened for a long, long time.
Today’s younger generation is too impatient to continue with this so-called destiny.
Only an old antique like him still remembers the mission of establishing Hunyuan Dao.
Therefore, although the entire Hunyuan Dao was shocked by the destruction of the Liu family, no one wanted to really investigate the various reasons behind it. Only old antiques like Xuan Yangzi were furious.
But many times, even someone as strong as Xuan Yangzi finds it difficult to do whatever he wants.
"If that's the case, then how dare you let me hand the little guy over to you? Will your Hunyuan Dao be safe?" Lu Xuan said lightly. He knew that a sect like Hunyuan Dao had gone through countless years, so it was naturally impossible for it to really stick to a belief unswervingly. That kind of thing often only exists in novels.
The Hunyuan Dao is now undergoing the most critical period of transformation. There are both old-school figures like Xuan Yangzi who want to carry out the sect's founding beliefs, and there are also many new generations who don't care about the existence of so-called beliefs at all.
The internal situation of Hunyuan Dao is a complete mess right now, and it is even more impossible for Lu Xuan to hand Liu Haotian over to such a Hunyuan Dao.
"Of course, because I have decided to personally accept the blood of the Saint Clan as my disciple. When the time comes, he will be the next headmaster of Hunyuan Dao after me. By then, everyone in Hunyuan Dao will respect him as the most respected, and no one will dare to disobey him!"
Xuan Yangzi slapped the armrest of the chair and spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice.
