"I... her... that..."
Zheng Min saw through his thoughts and gave a bitter smile, "Treat her well. Your consciousness may not be Aragaki Nigaki, but your body still is. If she can accept you as you are now, why bother being so conflicted?"
Upon hearing Zheng Min's words, Aragaki Nigaki was stunned for a moment, then suddenly saw the light.
" Brother Dau, I've gained so much from our conversation today! Things that I couldn't figure out before suddenly became clear to me! So, don't leave, can you stay and help me?"
"I can't do that! Although I have no sect or school now, I still need to continue my cultivation. I just said my goal is the Heavenly Domain, the peak of the Nine Realms!"
"Great! Then let's work hard together! Let's see who can enter the Heavenly Domain first!"
"Who wants to compete with you? You have a golden finger, and I don't! It's totally unfair, right?"
"Oh, by the way, Brother Dau, there's something... why is Qin Siye's name so similar to your aliases? Is it a coincidence? And also the aliases of the other disciples of Lu Xingqian and Yunqi temple."
"This is an unwritten rule. Any disciple who becomes an immortal must use their common surname plus an alias to travel the world. 'Qin' is a common surname, and ' Siye' is not a name but an alias. 'Si' is the generation of our Hanging gardens palace. The same goes for Yunqi temple, 'Lu' is a common surname, and 'Xingqian' is her alias."
"I see... Do all immortals have to do this after ascending?"
"Of course not... This rule only applies to disciples of Xianmen. For example, I am already unaffiliated with any sect, so I am considered a lone cultivator. If you become an immortal, there won't be so many restrictions, you can be called whatever you want, but Xianmen disciples must do this. Although I don't know why..."
"So many rules..."
"What are your plans for the future?"
"Plans for the future? I want to stop this war. I can't let down Master Xu! And... the people of the world! Including those demon tribes who trust me. Since they honor me as their leader, whether it's true or not... I feel responsible to give them a better life and future."
"Well said, brother! This is the mindset that modern people should have! War should never happen at any time! I don't know if you've seen a superhero movie... there's a line in it that I really like—'With great power comes great responsibility'."
"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility? I haven't heard of that... but I think I can do it."
"Elder brother! Elder brother!!!"
Zhao Han, the young Taoist, shouted as he flew on his sword, and jumped down in a hurry before landing.
"Senior Brother...huff, huff, huff...Senior Brother..."
"What's the matter?"
"sect is in chaos! The Brothers have split into two factions, one supporting Master Xu's idea of peaceful coexistence with demons, while the other believes that demons should be killed without mercy. Our master has been trying to calm the situation. He asked me to tell you to quickly find Senior Uncle and have him inherit the position of sect leader!!"
"Master Xu, what about him?"
"After the major sect left, Master Xu also left... He said he was powerless to stop all this and felt ashamed in front of the world. He will no longer be involved in worldly matters."
"Then what are you waiting for? Come with me!"
"I haven't finished yet... The demons around Shu Mountain are all here, but there are still thousands of demons near Emei and Qingcheng. They have already started to attack. A few days ago, Shibo (senior martial brother) sent a message saying he would go to Emei area for a visit... Go there and find him! I have to go back to help Master with the sect's affairs."
"Okay, use the Spirit Talisman Transmission if there's any news."
"Useless! I don't know how to use it! If I did, why would I fly here to find you?! When did you and Master teach me?"
"Um... another day! When I have time, I will definitely teach you!"
The four of them looked at each other, and Zheng Min spoke first, "Don't look at me... I'm not going! Let my little brother go instead."
With that, he put his arm around Aragaki Nigaki's shoulder, "I'll leave it to you. I have more important things to do. If you have any questions, just ask Xiao Yao. He's my bro here."
" Brother Dau, don't worry! I'm fine!"
Looking at the confident Aragaki Nigaki, Zheng Min had an indescribable feeling.
"Life is the most important."
"I know! I know!"
"I'm leaving first, something came up Spirit Talisman Transmission." After speaking, he made a gesture that only modern people would understand, and then a black shadow shot into the sky.
Aragaki Nigaki saw it clearly, it was the weapon given to Zheng Min - the Devil sword Chaos. The latter leaped up and disappeared into the deep night.
"Let's set off!" Xiao Yao unfastened the sword and chanted a spell. Zhao Han said loudly, "Senior Brother, the other sect have already identified you as a traitor to Shu Mountain. If they come after you, don't hold back!" "Hmm... I'll leave the sealing here to you."
"Don't worry!"
The three of them flew on their swords towards the Shu region. In order to avoid the search by Xianmen, they had to switch to traveling on foot. On and off, they arrived at Longchi City on the south side of Mount Emei on the fourth day at noon.
"This is the largest town around Emei. I need to find a blacksmith to maintain the Seven Star Sword. It's getting late, I'll inquire about Master's news tomorrow."
"Seven Star Sword?"
"Yes, it was crafted by Master Xu himself. It was originally passed down to my senior brother, but somehow it ended up in my hands. But let's not talk about that for now. Let's meet at the largest inn at noon."
After Xiao Yao left, Aragaki Nigaki and Ke Lingfei wandered aimlessly through the streets. As they looked at the bustling crowd, their moods were all different.
An old lady with a cane is walking towards us. She is unsteady on her feet and looks like she could fall at any moment. Sure enough, she hasn't taken more than a few steps before she falls to the ground with a cry of "ouch". Her cane flies several meters and lands at Ke Lingfei's feet. Aragaki Nigaki was about to step forward but was stopped.
" brother Aragaki, we'd better not meddle in other people's business."
"What are you saying? If an old person falls, I should go help them, right?"
As they spoke, the old lady was in pain, crying out, and surrounded by layers of onlookers. But not a single person was willing to step forward and help.
"We need to keep a low profile. If we are discovered by Xianmen..."
"Then we'll kill them!"
After saying this, he ignored Ke Lingfei's dissuasion. Before he could take a few steps, a young scholar swiftly emerged from the crowd and helped the old man up.
"Are you okay, Granny?" the scholar asked with concern.
"It's you!! It's you who bumped into me from behind! Ouch... it hurts so much... You can't just leave! Let's go to the official authorities and settle this!" The old granny's words left the scholar stunned on the spot. It took him a while to react.
"Grandmother, you fell and I helped you up. It wasn't me who caused the fall!" Upon hearing the scholar's words, the old woman clung to his legs, crying and wailing, "Oh my goodness... this is outrageous! When you hit someone, you should run away!! Everyone, please help this old woman make sense of this!!" The bystanders closest to them knew the truth of the matter, but still not a single person stepped forward to speak up for the scholar. He was both anxious and angry, but faced with the elderly and frail old woman, he couldn't bring himself to react. He allowed the old woman to cry, shout, and curse.
Some passersby who were unclear about the truth heard the old woman's cries and believed them to be true, and they all accused the scholar.
"It wasn't me! I didn't hit her!! I kindly helped her up, and she falsely accused me!! It really wasn't me!!"
The scholar urgently explained to the passersby, but no one was willing to speak up for him.
At this moment, two men and a woman squeezed out of the crowd and rushed to the old woman.
"Mother!! What's wrong with you??" one of the burly men asked anxiously.
"It's him... he bumped into me, and instead of taking me to see the Imperial Physician, he wants to run away. Big brother, don't let him escape..."
Upon hearing the old lady's words, the big man glared angrily, grabbed the scholar's collar, and said, "You brat! You think you can just run away after hitting someone?"
"Big brother, our mother's bones are broken," another man urged, "Make him pay money!"
"Yes! Do you think seeing an imperial physician is free? You can leave, but leave the money behind!" the daughter said fiercely.
"It wasn't me... I really didn't hit him! I was just trying to help him up..."
"Hmph, if it wasn't you who hit him, why would you bother to come and help? Are you trying to make excuses?" The daughter rolled her eyes.
"That's right! If it wasn't you who hit him, why did you come to help?"
"Stop the nonsense! Pay up!!" The scholar listened to the three siblings and was on the verge of tears with their every word. More and more onlookers gathered, and unaware passersby began to accuse the scholar of being heartless. Upon hearing this, the three siblings became even more aggressive, mocking and cursing, hurling all sorts of offensive words.
The scholar was intimidated by their momentum and dared not argue further. Trembling, he asked, "H-how much money?"
"Look at you, so poor and pitiful! We don't need much from you, just fifty taels will do."
"F-fifty taels!"
