Chapter 46: Sword Manual Returns to the Lord, People of Youdu
"You two, we have taken care of the headless general's ghost body, and the fire dragon's red and gold armor finally peeled off!"
The head of the Demon Subduing Division handed over the third-level treasure armor, and Wu Yuanting and Hua Feixue looked at each other.
"Well, I'll accept this." Wu Yuanting looked at this third-level treasure armor with great reluctance.
However, no matter how reluctant you are to let go, you have to let it go.
Tonight, they will quietly return to Hehua Village again and hand over the treasure armor to Fang Li personally.
In the tavern, Fang Li and Ling Xiaoyi clinked glasses.
"Today I will leave Hehua Village and continue to search for the evil spirits and spies that are causing trouble and subjugate the demons."
Ling Xiaoyi drank it all in one gulp, his eyes clear.
"Little Taoist priest, I also want to toast you a glass!" The little girl drank tea instead of wine and stood up on tiptoes in a decent manner.
"It is said that killing demons is very dangerous. Aren't you afraid of risking your life? I really don't understand. Wouldn't it be nice to live a quiet and ordinary life?"
"My master said that everyone has his own destiny." Ling Xiaoyi smiled and shook his head.
"Where is your master?"
"When I was twelve years old, he went down the mountain to exorcise evil spirits. It was said that he was going to catch a demonic boy who could suck human blood, but he never came back."
A boy who sucks human blood?
Fang Li frowned.
Could it be the Blood Nightmare Boy?
He suddenly had a strange feeling.
Could it be that the blood-clothed Taoist priest who was turned into a blood corpse puppet was Ling Xiaoyi's master?
Alian's little face wrinkled, and she knew without guessing that her master probably died on the road to conquering demons.
"I seem to have met your master." Fang Li suddenly said.
Ling Xiaoyi looked at him in astonishment and couldn't believe it.
"Brother Fang, Brother Fang has seen my master? I, my master..."
"Your master died as a martyr."
Ling Xiaoyi was slightly shocked when he heard this, then he gritted his teeth and his eyes turned red.
Even though he had already guessed the ending, it was still a bit unbearable.
Alian looked at him, feeling a little uncomfortable for no reason.
If Ling Xiaoyi persists like his master, he will end up like this sooner or later.
After a long silence, Ling Xiaoyi recalled the past: "Before he came down from the mountain, my master once said that he would teach me the true swordsmanship of Fumo Sect's Shenjian Peak. He said that I was talented and could definitely learn it, but he was gone and never came back.
I also missed the opportunity to learn real skills.”
True swordsmanship?
Fang Li's heart moved slightly.
Could it be the "Great Mighty Demon-Conquering Sword" that I found in the hands of the Taoist in Blood Clothes?
"Trigger the hidden mission 'The Demon-Subduing Descendants, the Lost Sword Manual'. Do you want to accept it?"
"The lost sword manual of Fumo Sect that you accidentally found is a relic left by Ling Xiaoyi's master. If you can return the sword manual, Ling Xiaoyi will be very grateful to you."
The Great Mighty Demon-Conquering Divine Sword has only one move.
Now its sword manual is lying in Fang Li's storage bag.
If he were not in the game world, Fang Li would really like to sigh, what a coincidence.
However, this sword technique is very powerful and requires a comprehension level of 12 to master, and its power is certainly extraordinary.
Is it worth it or not to just give it back to Ling Xiaoyi like this?
Fang Li felt that Ling Xiaoyi's name seemed familiar, but he was by no means an important NPC, and there would probably be no reward for returning him.
Moreover, this person is different from me. Next time we meet, he may actually be an enemy.
Wait and think again.
Where does the name Ling Xiaoyi come from...
"I was picked up by my master when I was three years old. Originally, my name was not Ling Xiaoyi."
Ling Xiaoyi was very drunk and chatted with Alian about his life experience.
"Then what's your name?" The little girl was more curious than a cat.
Ling Xiaoyi took out a jade pendant, and Alian's eyes widened to see clearly the words on it.
"This jade pendant appeared with me at the gate of the Taoist temple."
There are only two words on it - Youdu.
This jade pendant looks ordinary, with a slight crack on it.
"Ling Youdu? What a strange name. Would normal parents choose such a name?" Alian didn't understand.
It turned out to be him.
Fang Li woke up instantly.
"Youdu is not necessarily a name, it may also be a place."
Fang Li reminded him.
"Place?"
Youdu, the strongest ghost cultivation sect in the world of Daoguo, is one of the strongest.
Of course, it is a hidden sect.
After several versions, it will gradually appear in front of players and NPCs.
Ling Xiaoyi looked at Fang Li blankly.
But Fang Li had no intention of delving into it further, and instead casually took out the sword manual.
Now that Ling Xiaoyi's identity is confirmed, this task can be accomplished.
"Before your master died, he gave me a sword manual. I don't know if it is the true swordsmanship of your Demon Subduing Sect's Divine Sword Peak."
Ling Xiaoyi glanced hastily, and then his eyes revealed complete disbelief.
Alian couldn’t believe there was such a coincidence in the world!
She came closer curiously, and Fang Li quickly pushed her away.
"Little girl, you can't look at this sword move randomly!"
The sword intent emanating from this sword manual hurts the eyes just by looking at it.
However, Ling Xiaoyi took a look and saw that there was nothing wrong with it.
His eyes suddenly lit up with excitement.
"That's right! That's right! This is exactly the swordsmanship left behind by Master."
"The master said that this sword manual should not be read casually. The sword intention in the portrait can hurt people, so he just took the sword manual with him and said that he would teach me the sword manual when I reached the level of cultivation!"
"The sword manual now contains the supreme sword intention to kill evil spirits. It is indeed the mighty demon-conquering sword!"
He looked at Fang Li gratefully, trembling all over.
"Brother Fang, there is no way I can repay you for your great kindness."
"From now on, whenever I need help, as long as it doesn't go against the right path, Xiao Yi will risk my life to help!"
He really had nothing to repay Fang Li, he could only bow sincerely.
There is only one life that can be left in Fang Li's hands.
The system prompts that the task has been completed, and Ling Xiaoyi's favorability has reached the level of respect.
By the way, I would like to remind Fang Li to ask Ling Xiaoyi for help in the future.
This reward doesn't seem like much.
But Fang Li felt it was worth it.
After all, the poor little Taoist priest in front of him will be the young master who will be in charge of the most powerful ghost cultivator sect in the game, Youdu.
Ling Xiaoyi will not meet the same fate as his master.
He will not be a little Taoist priest of the Demon-Suppressing Sect, fighting and dying on the endless road of subduing demons.
Instead, he will go the completely opposite path and transform into a cold demon.
In the name of the master of Youdu, the word Ling Xiaoyi was completely discarded.
In fact, he will eventually become the ultimate resistance to the revival of the lost sect, Fumo Sect.
Finally, he attacks the underworld as a human ghost emperor, trying to overthrow the order of the underworld and control the reincarnation of all things.
In his previous life, Fang Li basically had little interest in ghost cultivation and related plot tasks.
There is not much attention to the NPC Ling Xiaoyi.
But Fang Li knew that he was very important.
Even one of the most important NPCs that supported the later stage of the Daoguo world.
Seven years later, Ling Xiaoyi will serve as the final boss of the large-scale plot mission "The Rise of the Demon-Suppressing Sect".
He will abandon the name of Ling Xiaoyi and everything in his past and call himself Ling Youdu.
At the end of the plot, he prevented the Demon-Suppressing Sect from rising again, thwarted the players' hard work for several years, and completely wiped out the rebuilt and revived Demon-Suppressing Sect.
Fang Li was a little curious as to how the hot-blooded young man at this moment would transform to that point.
