"The heartless one wields the sword of emotion, one sword transforms into three thousand, all who enter the cage are decimated."
Song Yan said, "No wonder Brother Hanshan only uses one sword to kill here."
Xiao Hanshan laughed heartily, "Of course! Brother, I’m not bragging. Once I’ve stayed in a place long enough, it becomes my home ground. Unless someone from the Profound Yellow Three Realms arrives, at the moment of breaking through the barrier, I would be considered one of the strongest in the Profound Yellow Second Realm."
After speaking, he pondered, "As for why it’s at the moment of breakthrough, it’s because the methods within the realm are indeed strange and unpredictable, anything can happen. If you truly encounter something more terrifying, it’s hard to say."
Song Yan nodded.
No wonder.
This cultivator, so full of the seven emotions and six sensory pleasures, was destined to be sliced by Master Hanshan’s sword that day, it was truly unavoidable.
Hua Xianggu sat in the shadows on the other side, listening to Xiao Hanshan and Song Yan’s conversation, unable to stop a feeling from stirring in her heart.
She was never one to sit idly, just thinking "exchanging a few words between good friends is truly one of life’s pleasures."
A mysterious companionship rose in her heart, Hua Xianggu moved gracefully, stepping on the illusion of peach blossoms, and appeared on Song Yan’s other side, saying, "Old Li, don’t listen to Xiao Hanshan’s boasting. His Lifebound Talisman is indeed powerful, but when there are too many people, it becomes troublesome. That day, when that young lad, Lu Jueyun, brought a group over, Xiao Hanshan was flustered and was nearly counter-attacked."
Song Yan realized, "Oh, was it you, Sister Hua, who displayed your Divine Power?"
Hua Xianggu said, "My Lifebound Talisman is categorized under ’Asura Dao’—once Devouring Realm is deployed, I can burn Essence Blood and transform into mad battle spirit; the more hurt I am, the more my blood boils, and the more my Divine Thought becomes crazed.
Moreover, my methods are numerous, with toxins for killing, enchanting fragrances that bewilder the heart. The more people there are, the more pronounced the effect.
If it wasn’t for my cover, Lu Jueyun would have perished that day."
Song Yan said, "Sister Hua is truly formidable."
Xiao Hanshan protested, shouting again, "Old Li, let me tell you..."
The three good friends chatted endlessly, forcing Song Yan to learn about the methods, powers, and trump cards of his two friends. However... he was moved deeply and uncontrollably revealed his own Lifebound Talisman.
Of course, he forcibly held his breath and didn’t let the words "Great Freedom" slip out, still using "Illusion" instead. Thus, at this moment, he felt a strong sense of guilt towards his good friends.
"Brother Hanshan, let me take action next time someone comes."
Song Yan decided to make up for it with his friends.
Xiao Hanshan agreed readily, "Alright! Recently, we’ve been thinking about how to mix out, so we’ve been collecting plans from outside.
Furthermore, the earliest batches of Ghost Cultivators should have been nurtured by now, by then, we’ll have subordinates."
As he was speaking, a ripple in space moved, and a big-headed kid holding a rattle fell down.
Xiao Hanshan laughed heartily, "Speak of the subordinates themselves."
He beckoned and called, "Wubei, come, call him uncle, from now on treat him as you would us."
