I’ve Reloaded the Save File! [Transmigration] 68

68: Resolution

How to kill a sword cultivator who has been at the Spirit Transformation stage for many years? This was a question worth pondering.

Mo Xiao and Zuo Wuyi selectively accepted two missions that required them to go to the central region to complete, and then quietly followed behind Xuan Min.

In order not to be detected by Xuan Min, the two of them did not follow too closely, but maintained a distance of about a hundred li. This distance would take some time even with sword flight, so it was impossible to be discovered.

What? If the distance was a hundred li, would they lose him?

Of course not. When they were tracking Xuan Min before, although Mo Xiao and Zuo Wuyi did not attack him, they did not do nothing either. After all, in the process of tracking, leaving a small tracking device on him was not difficult for the two of them.

Because Xuan Min was out this time to deal with a demon cultivator, Mo Xiao and Zuo Wuyi were in no hurry to act. When Xuan Min stopped, the two of them were also improving their relationship in addition to cultivating.

After all, dual cultivation was really useful. The two of them could trust each other one hundred percent, so their cultivation speed rose rapidly.

After about half a month, Xuan Min arrived at the place where he needed to carry out his mission. According to the intelligence, the demon cultivator had a palace in the deep mountains, and under his command were about a hundred Nascent Soul and Golden Core stage demon cultivators, who helped him capture people from various places.

Xuan Min was very confident in his own strength, so after locking onto the demon cultivator’s position, he directly split open the barrier near the palace with a single sword strike, ignored the low-level small fry, and directly confronted his mission target.

“Who sent you?” The Spirit Transformation stage demon cultivator had a feminine appearance, and his complexion looked a little pale. The only bright color on his body was his still-bloody lips.

“You… are not qualified to know who I am,” Seeing the shriveled cultivator corpses around, a look of disgust appeared on Xuan Min’s face.

Demons are simply living in ancient times, still relying on sucking the blood of cultivators to cultivate. How lowly.

Perhaps Xuan Min’s disdainful look was too obvious. The demon cultivator on the main seat was instantly enraged. He let out a shriek and summoned many gray-black figures, surrounding Xuan Min.

Xuan Min frowned and looked at the black figures. If he was not mistaken, these things were cultivated from the souls of cultivators. If he attacked them, it would cause those cultivators’ souls to be scattered, with no chance of reincarnation.

“Righteous cultivator, I want to see what a so-called righteous cultivator will do,” The feminine man cackled, his voice very piercing and unpleasant.

Xuan Min snorted coldly and directly drew his sword to disperse these black figures. It was true that he was a righteous cultivator, but he would not let himself be injured just because of these souls.

They are already dead anyway. Instead of being refined into this kind of ghostly thing by a demon and being controlled by him to harm others, it’s better to let me help them find release.

Seeing Xuan Min ruthlessly tear apart the souls of those people, the feminine man couldn’t help but tsk. He hadn’t expected to encounter such a hard-hearted cultivator this time.

But it didn’t matter. What just happened was just an appetizer. The main course was next.

“Xuan Min should have encountered the demon cultivator,” Zuo Wuyi closed her eyes and sensed. “The other party’s strength is not bad, but he hasn’t tempered his bloodline much. He’s a demon cultivator who follows the path of a spell cultivator.”

“How long will it take for Xuan Min to deal with him?” Mo Xiao asked. She planned to act after Xuan Min had dealt with the demon cultivator. That way, they would have the advantage in the battle.

“It’s hard to say. Let’s keep our distance and observe for now,” Zuo Wuyi said. “I can sense the demon cultivator’s state. We’ll act according to the situation then.”

Although such a plan had the suspicion of taking advantage of someone’s predicament, the situation had already reached this point. It was either you die or I live. Who would care about taking advantage of someone’s predicament?

The demon cultivator had been entrenched in this place for a long time. His strength might not be comparable to Xuan Min’s, but he had many strange methods and managed to entangle Xuan Min for half a day.

“Hahaha, I’ve discovered your secret!” Just as the demon cultivator was about to be defeated, he suddenly burst out laughing. He no longer dodged, but let Xuan Min’s sword pass through his body, stretched out his limbs, and held Xuan Min tightly.

“I can smell it. You have the smell of a demon seed on you,” After saying this, the demon cultivator directly self-destructed his body.

The demon cultivator knew very well that Xuan Min’s injuries only looked a little serious, but they had not damaged his foundation. So he did not choose to run, but took advantage of this opening and rushed directly into Xuan Min’s sea of consciousness.

“How dare you!” Xuan Min’s reaction was already very fast. He had almost instantly retreated a hundred meters. But even so, his sea of consciousness was still impacted, and the demon seed that had been sealed inside began to stir.

“The situation seems a little off. Xuan Min has a demon seed! It’s a demon seed transformed from an inner demon!” Zuo Wuyi’s eyes were full of surprise. They had only planned to plant demonic energy into the other party’s body after the fact! Why had Xuan Min already been hit before they had even acted?

“A demon seed?” Mo Xiao subconsciously frowned. “Could Xuan Min fall to the demonic path?”

Zuo Wuyi was a little unsure. “I can’t be sure about that, but if Xuan Min falls to the demonic path, it will be a very tricky matter for us. Falling to the demonic path will make him even more crazy.”

Mo Xiao looked at Zuo Wuyi. “Act now?”

Zuo Wuyi nodded. “Now is the best time, regardless of whether Xuan Min falls to the demonic path or not.”

Since they had decided to act, then their actions must be fast, the kind that doesn’t waste a single word after starting.

Zuo Wuyi firmly remembered the famous saying that villains die from talking too much. After changing their appearances, she directly released all the demonic energy in her body, her first move a killing blow.

Xuan Min’s reaction was very fast. The moment Zuo Wuyi showed her killing intent, he raised his sword to block.

Boom— The weapons clashed, and Zuo Wuyi’s killing blow was blocked by Xuan Min! But, Zuo Wuyi had not come alone! The moment she attacked, Mo Xiao attacked from a very tricky angle.

Xuan Min only had one sword in his hand. He couldn’t possibly block two powerful attacks at the same time, so he could only choose to retreat to the side, dodging Mo Xiao’s attack at the cost of injuring his arm.

“Why are there two more demon cultivators?” Xuan Min’s face changed slightly. He cursed the person who had issued the mission in his heart. How did he gather intelligence! There were clearly three Spirit Transformation stage demon cultivators! Why was there only one recorded!

Xuan Min’s face was not very good. Although he was not seriously injured, his spiritual energy had been greatly depleted in the struggle. At this time, facing two Spirit Transformation stage demon cultivators, he did not have much of a chance of winning.

Seeing that Xuan Min was injured, Mo Xiao and Zuo Wuyi’s movements became even faster. They took advantage of his weakness and attacked with all their might, no longer holding back.

If it were Xuan Min at his peak, he might have been able to withstand their fierce attacks. But unfortunately, he was now in a state of being injured in both body and soul. He couldn’t last long, and the wounds on his body became more and more numerous.

As they fought, Xuan Min discovered that something was not right. He found that their moves seemed a little familiar, and a few of them gave him a sense of déjà vu.

“Who on earth are you?” A guess flashed through Xuan Min’s mind, and an absurd speculation arose in his heart. “Why do you know the sword techniques of the Inquiring Dao Sect!”

Mo Xiao and Zuo Wuyi exchanged a look. It seemed that the other party had recognized them. But it didn’t matter. As long as he was dead, no one would know about this matter!

Since Xuan Min had already noticed that something was wrong, Mo Xiao and the other two threw caution to the wind and no longer deliberately avoided using the unique sword techniques of the Inquiring Dao Sect. For a time, their attacks became even more fierce.

Seeing the wounds on Xuan Min’s body increasing, it seemed that with just a little more effort from Mo Xiao and Zuo Wuyi, they could successfully deal with the other party.

But, Xuan Min was an old-school sword cultivator after all, and his luck had not completely disappeared. After sensing the fatal danger, his realm actually loosened a little, and he had the feeling of about to break through.

Zuo Wuyi couldn’t help but tsk. After a brief exchange of glances with Mo Xiao, she gave up on defending and attached the demonic energy-infused blood essence to her sword. With continuous attacks, she sent demonic energy into Xuan Min’s body bit by bit.

As a person with the bloodline of a demon venerable, the demonic energy on Zuo Wuyi’s body was very domineering. In less than a quarter of an hour, Xuan Min’s cultivation began to regress. His aura became chaotic, and the demon seed completely broke through his control and began to devour his cultivation.

“Now! Don’t hold back!” Zuo Wuyi said, directly meeting Xuan Min’s sword. At the cost of having her arm pierced, she completely pierced through Xuan Min’s dantian.

If Xuan Min really fell to the demonic path, it would be a bit tricky for the two of them. So the best way was to deal with him in the process of his fall.

Xuan Min gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins, and he called out her name word by word. “Zuo… Wu… Yi…” “Tsk, you finally recognized me,” Zuo Wuyi said, pulling out her sword and stabbing him again, as if replaying the final scene of her past life.

Of course, now was different from her past life. She had Mo Xiao by her side. She would not choose to perish together with Xuan Min, but would kill him while ensuring her own safety.

Before Xuan Min could self-destruct, Mo Xiao swiftly pulled out the other party’s divine soul. After extinguishing the consciousness inside, she directly devoured the remaining energy.

Zuo Wuyi held her arm and panted heavily. “Xuan Min… is he dead? Did any of his soul escape?”

Mo Xiao shook her head. “I can already sense the luck. Although it’s very little, the luck is already approaching me.”

In this world, the ones with the most luck were the female and male leads. Only after Xuan Min was completely dead would the luck choose someone else.

“Phew—then, have we solved everything?” Zuo Wuyi was a little exhausted and directly relaxed her body, leaning against Mo Xiao’s arms.

Mo Xiao hummed in agreement, then placed her hand on Zuo Wuyi’s arm and used the demonic energy in her body to help her recover from her injuries.

“Then we have nothing to worry about…” Zuo Wuyi still had a feeling of unreality. The thing she had worked so hard for for hundreds of years in her past life had only taken a few decades to achieve this time.

Mo Xiao thought about it seriously. “The sect has lost an elder of the Xuan generation. It should be in turmoil for a while, and many people will investigate his death.”

“It’s no matter. We can just say he was ambushed by a demon cultivator. Anyway, he was indeed killed by a demon cultivator,” Zuo Wuyi no longer cared about the wound on her hand. She turned around and directly wrapped her arms around Mo Xiao’s, giving her an aggressive kiss.

“After this matter is over, I want to hold a Dao companion ceremony with you! To announce to everyone that we are Dao companions!” Zuo Wuyi said while calming her breath.

Mo Xiao’s aura was only slightly chaotic. Hearing her lover’s words, she held her even tighter.

“Alright, I’ll choose a date when we get back,” Mo Xiao agreed to everything.

The moment Xuan Min died, the life plaque he had left in the Inquiring Dao Sect completely shattered, directly causing panic among the sect’s higher-ups.

“What’s going on? Xuan Min’s life plaque—he—” The Sect Master was trembling as he spoke. “How can the demon cultivator in the central region be so powerful!”

Xuan Shuang’s brow furrowed slightly. She knew in her heart that her two disciples had won.

How should she put it? Xuan Shuang’s feelings were a little complicated. Although she and Xuan Min were not on good terms, they had been fellow sect senior and junior brothers after all. Now that he was dead, it was impossible for her not to feel anything in her heart.

“Sect Master, the mission Elder Xuan Min accepted before he left has been completed. The demon cultivator in the central region has been killed!” the elder in charge of issuing missions said. “The mission was completed on the same day as the life plaque broke.”

The Sect Master’s brows were tightly furrowed. “I want to go to the central region to investigate personally. Who is willing to go with me?”

“No, you need to stay in the sect to manage various affairs, Sect Master,” Xuan Shuang stood up and said. “Leave the investigation to me. My two disciples also accepted a mission near the central region a while ago. I need to go and look after them.”

The Sect Master hesitated for a moment. He was still at the Spirit Transformation stage. It was indeed more appropriate for Xuan Shuang to go than himself.

“You must be careful on this trip. I’m worried that there are a large number of demons ambushing there. Otherwise, with Junior Brother Xuan Min’s strength, he wouldn’t have perished…” The Sect Master had not yet calmed down and could only say a few words.

One must know that Xuan Min’s cultivation, if placed in an ordinary sect, was already the strongest combat power. If the demon cultivator’s strength was stronger than his, then it meant that the other party already had the ability to destroy a sect.

Xuan Shuang nodded. She had already made her choice between Xuan Min and her two disciples a while ago.

Although she had said that her two disciples had to bear the consequences themselves, when it really happened, she could not just stand by and watch.

Dealing with the scene was not a big problem for the two of them. They just needed to cover up the representative wounds on his body a little, and then destroy the scene with chaotic demonic energy, and it would be a success.

“What do we do next? Do we go and carry out the mission directly? Or do we stay here?” After dealing with Xuan Min, Zuo Wuyi felt incredibly relieved.

“Let’s go and do the mission. The sect will probably send a message soon,” Mo Xiao held her lover’s hand and slowly let out a breath of turbid air. “At that time, we will act according to the situation and not reveal any flaws, and pass the final test.”

Zuo Wuyi nodded. “Alright.”
