At first glance, Li Zhu felt familiar. After a moment of thinking, he realized that Li Zhu was Second Child.
He was quite impressed with Second Child, because in Demonic Priest's memories, Second Child was like an apprentice. He was simple, honest and kind, and he was the only one who awakened his demon blood in the village. Seeing that he had decent talents, the Demonic Priest acted as a mentor and friend, taught him to practice qi, Taoism, and other abilities.
At this moment, Li Xianyu understood a lot of things. After Demonic Priest had died, where did Li Peiyun learn the Tri-Elements Sword Technique? If he was the offspring of Li Zhu, it could be explained. Demonic Priest was not selfish. Since he was willing to teach, he must have given the Tri-Elements Sword Techniques to Li Zhu.
Li Xianyu's heart was filled with the joy of reunion with an old friend. The memory of the Demonic Priest stopped appearing because the subsequent events in the memory seemed to be something sensitive to Demonic Priest, and his residual soul started a frenzy within Li Xianyu. After such a dangerous event, Great-Grandma did not allow him to wear Demonic Priest's ring anymore. Originally, she wanted to expiate his soul, but Li Xianyu stopped her.
He really couldn't bring himself to extinguish Demonic Priest's residual soul, even though it meant that he would be carrying a timed bomb with him.
However, Li Xianyu had a little grudge in his heart. He watched the Demonic Priest changing step by step from a kind-hearted young man, and just when it was the climax, the memories stopped. It was the life experience of a top master. Moreover, Sister Taisu's appearance and temperament were enough to rank in the top five of Li Xianyu's beauty list. There was also the young martial sister whose development Li Xianyu was really looking forward to.
I haven't finished this movie yet, so how can you just cut it halfway? Are you trying to kill me through my OCD?
Finally, he finally met a person from that era so he didn't need the memory playback anymore. He could safely listen to the continuation of the Demonic Priest and what happened to Taisu and little sister.
I hope they lived their lives safe and soundly, and have married off to a happy life… That they have been cultivating for hundreds of years, free from disease and disaster.
Li Xianyu leapt out of the audience and rushed to the old man in the stunned gaze of the crowd.
Bang! He was still a dozen meters away from the old man. The solid ground under his feet exploded, and the sharp sword air was mixed in the soil, cutting Li Xianyu's legs.
Li Peiyun, holding the sword of qi in his hand, pointed to him and said lightly, "I don't want to fight you today. Step back."
"Wow, the sword of qi. It's so powerful."
"What the h.e.l.l? That is the sword of qi?! At a glance, I feel my heart beating faster and a s.h.i.+ver up my spine. "
"Here comes Li Peiyun. Is he going to partic.i.p.ate in the Forum Conference? Wow, I'm so excited. I'm looking forward to a duel between him and Dan Chenzi. I am his fervent fan."
As soon as the sword of qi came out, the audience was excited.
Li Xianyu stopped and squinted at him. Telling me to step back? Little brother, you've been quite arrogant lately. Do you want me to bark back?
After Li Peiyun's warning shot, Li Xianyu's mind was cleared up. Indeed, Li Zhu didn't know him. Li Xianyu had nothing to do with the Demonic Priest and Li Zhu would not say anything if he rashly inquires about Demonic Priest. And Li Peiyun was defeated by him twice. The two parties were more hostile than friendly.
However, since he dashed up, it would be pretty awkward if he didn't say anything. Li Xianyu smiled awkwardly and stared at the old man. "Second Child, I haven't seen you for many years, you've already grown so old."
The tone was like a kind elder talking to someone from a younger generation!
Li Peiyun was confused. The audience was equally stunned. Li Zhu was shocked as well.
"What nonsense are you talking about, Li Xianyu? I have no time to deal with your rubbish today." Li Peiyun, with his limited patience, raised his eyebrows and said, "Our issues will be settled later today."
Considering how Li Xianyu suddenly dashed out and called his great grandfather, "Second Child," it was extremely insulting. In normal times, Li Peiyun would have fought him endlessly. But today, there was another more important business. He didn't want to deal with Li Xianyu, because that would indirectly mean fighting with the Unparalleled War Spirit.
Li Xianyu was an annoying character to deal with, so no one wanted to provoke him too easily.
"How did the heir of the Li family end up mixing with Li Zhu?" one of the Taoist masters said in a daze.
"Li Peiyun and Li Xianyu have fought several times. They have some kinds of grievances. When he saw Li Peiyun appear, Li Xianyu couldn't wait but to jump out."
Li Zhu stepped forward two steps, squinted, looked at Li Xianyu carefully for a moment, and then asked, "How did you know my nickname?"
Li Zhu was nearly a hundred years old. People who knew his name were mostly dead. He knew he had no dealings with the Li Family or the Unparalleled War Spirit, but yet the heir of the Li Family could call out his childhood nickname.
Li Peiyun opened his mouth slightly, looked at Li Zhu and then looked at Li Xianyu. All that was left in his mind was shock. Second Child is Li Zhu?
"Oh, I see. That's why." The old man's eyes fell on Li Xianyu's blackened arm and said in a deep voice, "Devilish creature, do you remember me?"
"Who are you?" said Slime as the blood vessels lit up on Li Xianyu's arm.
"Li Zhu!" the old man replied with a bitter voice.
"Who is Li Zhu?" Slime's confusion was real. It seemed that he really didn't know the old man.
The old man was angry. When he heard the words, the rage immediately smothered. "Don't you know me?"
Slime said, "Small characters like you shouldn't keep jumping in front of me. If it was someone gifted like the Buddha Head, I would still remember him." Slime laughed.
Li Zhu was speechless.
"You've pestered the Demonic Priest w.a.n.g Chen for a lifetime, making him walk on the edge of madness every day, making him the target of the public. Most of the misfortune of Demonic Priest w.a.n.g Chen was your fault."
"Bulls.h.i.+t." The last sentence clearly touched Slime's bottom line. "It's the fault of w.a.n.g Chen. If he had not entered Great Deities' Palace, I wouldn't have met him. I wouldn't have been sealed for 80 years. I wouldn't have met this unlucky boy, and that… super beautiful Great-Grandma. So it's all w.a.n.g Chen's fault. It's all his fault. "
What a strong desire for survival!
Li Xianyu realized that Slime was well educated by his Great-Grandma.
"I won't argue with you," said the old man with a cold snort. "That thing is very dangerous. Once you touch it, it will stick with you forever. Li Xianyu, good luck."
"Slime seems okay so far though," Li Xianyu said. He didn't think that Slime was so terrible. Li Xianyu had the Demonic Priest's ring, Great-Grandma, and the bracelet given by Buddha. These things could suppress Slime.
The old man didn't say much anymore. He stepped up to the arena slowly. Li Peiyun was always behind him. He looked alert. The sword of qi was in his hand and never disappeared.
"What do they want?" Li Xianyu muttered to himself. The audience wondered the same.
"Everyone, I am the old Li Zhu and was previously unknown in the demon descendant community. You know me because of my great-grandson, Li Peiyun. However, this old man has another ident.i.ty." The old man paused. At this moment, he straightened his back, and his face was filled with a kind of indescribable pride. "I am Priest w.a.n.g Chen's direct disciple!"
Such a piece of groundbreaking news!
The Taoist masters stood up fiercely.
"I taught the Tri-Elements Sword Technique to Li Peiyun. Not long ago, some Taoists found me and asked about it. I didn't admit it because I didn't dare to admit it. If I had admitted it, my entire family would be ma.s.sacred."
"Some people had twisted the truth and escaped justice for over 80 years. They use their b.l.o.o.d.y hands to distort the truth and history. Behind the scenes, they do things that were utterly immoral, but on the surface, they are praised and wors.h.i.+pped."
"But I just want this person to know that evil can never suppress right. One day, there will be people who are not willing to give in and stand up to resist to bring glory to the names of those who were deeply buried in history, those whose blood and sacrifice had been covered by darkness, and those who had to die with unjust hatred, even if hundreds or thousands of years have pa.s.sed."
"Just now, Li family's successor told you a story. Now, I will also tell you a story. This story," the old man said word by word. "It's called the Demonic Priest, w.a.n.g Chen!"
