Chapter 1415

"So, you saw the so-called Evil Emperor back then? And it was because of that person's warning that you knew Susu was in danger, and then went to rescue her in time?"

After hearing Xu Ziling tell the truth of the matter, Kou Zhong understood what the Evil Emperor was.

The Evil Emperor was not some thing, but a famous person.

According to Shi Qingxuan, the Evil Emperor and the Yin Empress were both geniuses of the Demonic Sect in the past, and he was even mentioned in the same breath as the loose practitioner Ning Daoqi. However, that was the previous Evil Emperor. The Evil Emperor in Xu Ziling's words was a young man.

And this young man, they had just happened to see.

It was exactly the person who killed Liaokong in the Jingnian Zen Temple in the past.

After that battle, this person even made a deal with them.

Through a transformation like marrow-cleansing and meridian-cutting, plus the He Shi Bi, he exchanged for the whereabouts of the Longevity Secret from their mouths.

Now Kou Zhong finally understood a little why the Demonic Sect chose to place a bet on him—it turned out they had long since met the so-called Evil Emperor.

"According to what you said, the Evil Emperor is the master of the Demonic Sect, which means the Demonic Sect took a fancy to us because of that person?" Kou Zhong's words carried a hint of emotion.

"It is very likely that this is the case!"

Xu Ziling nodded, and then said another thing: "Earlier I said I hadn't heard of the name Dao Lord, but now thinking back carefully, I find that is not the case."

"Oh?"

Kou Zhong was a little surprised.

Xu Ziling said: "It was also because after thinking of that person, I remembered that day at the Jingnian Zen Temple, he actually mentioned the title Dao Lord."

"In this way, the person in Master's words is that person."

Kou Zhong gradually had an accurate answer in his heart.

If one Evil Emperor was not enough to confirm that person's identity, then adding a Dao Lord matched exactly with the person they met that day.

However, Kou Zhong still had some questions in his heart: "If the Demonic Sect took a fancy to us because of that person, and that person, besides the identity of the Evil Emperor, the master of the Demonic Sect, is also the Dao Lord of the Daoist School, then I have another question: how did he know that Susu was in trouble?"

Xu Ziling said it was precisely because of that person's notification that he knew Susu had been harmed by Xiang Yushan and was on the verge of death.

Xu Ziling shook his head and said: "I don't know about this either."

Kou Zhong's eyes flickered, "It seems I can only seek the answer from Master."

Xu Ziling's eyes were also solemn.

Afterward, the two went to Guiguzi's place together.

"Master!"

After seeing Guiguzi, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's attitude was extremely respectful.

Especially Xu Ziling, who respected Guiguzi to the extreme.

Xu Ziling had no great interest in contending for the world; his personality was more suitable for being a hermit, and Guiguzi happened to be a true hermit, possessing all the characteristics that a hermit should have.

After meeting Lu Miaoji in the past, Xu Ziling was amazed and admired him immensely. Now, after spending some time with Guiguzi, he was immediately conquered by Guiguzi's talent, martial arts, and strategy.

This was an old man even more amazing than Mr. Lu Miaoji.

"You came here together; it seems you have made up your minds?"

Guiguzi looked like an immortal, looked at Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and said indifferently, "Have you thought about whether to accept the help from the Daoist and Demonic sects?"

Before Kou Zhong could answer, Guiguzi added: "However, before you answer this question, I must remind you that the kindness of some people is not so easy to accept, and similarly, the kindness of some people is not so easy to refuse."

"You can naturally choose to refuse the kindness given by that person, but while refusing, you must also think about what consequences you have to bear."

For Kou Zhong, he didn't really want to accept others' kindness for no reason, even if he had met that person long ago.

But after hearing these words from Master Guiguzi, he still couldn't help but ponder.

Master's words made him hear the severity of the matter.

Also, that person was both the Dao Lord of the Daoist School and the Evil Emperor of the Demonic Sect.

His identity was so unusual.

Being able to receive his kindness was already a great favor. If he refused, it would only deeply offend the other party, bringing extremely serious consequences, and it was even very likely to offend the two behemoths of the Daoist and Demonic sects at the same time.

Although he said this, Kou Zhong still asked Guiguzi: "Master, is that person very powerful?"

In Kou Zhong's view, his Master Zhao Yi was already an extraordinary expert, perhaps capable of competing with the three great masters of the world. Yet hearing Master's words, he was still extremely wary of that person.

Especially since Master had stated directly that he came to help him precisely at that person's instruction.

Guiguzi did not hide this point and said bluntly: "If that person is willing, there is nothing in this world he cannot do."

"The replacement of dynasties, the fate of all living beings, can all be controlled by him!"

Although it was only a few words, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were horrified and shocked upon hearing such words.

"Master, is he really that powerful?"

Kou Zhong didn't believe there was such a powerful person in this world and couldn't help but ask again.

"Manipulating the replacement of dynasties, controlling the fate of all living beings—even the three great masters of the world couldn't do such things!"

For Kou Zhong, from the moment he stepped into the jianghu, he had been hearing legends about the three great masters.

Especially his foster mother Fu Junqi, who was a direct disciple of the Yijian Master Fu Cailin of Goryeo. He often heard his foster mother boasting about Fu Cailin, and he understood the power of the three great masters more and more.

"The three great masters? Heh..."

Hearing Kou Zhong's words, Guiguzi, who had an indifferent attitude toward everything, suddenly let out a sneer, somewhat disdainful.

Xu Ziling raised his eyebrows slightly, not understanding why Master viewed the three great masters with such an attitude.

Soon, he understood.

Guiguzi said: "In your view, the three great masters are the peak of martial arts. Ordinary people, if they can reach the Innate Realm, are already considered experts. There are not many master-level experts in the world, and Grandmasters are even beyond masters, capable of being the war gods of a nation. Goryeo has Fu Cailin, the Turks have Bi Xuan, and the Central Plains have Ning Daoqi."

"But in my view, this is looking at the sky through a tube, looking at the text through a crack!"
