Chapter 485

The struggle of the Did Chi You Sword was merely futile.

Under Xiao Li's power, this sword was subjected to unprecedented suppression.

Previously, when it was held in Did Chi You's hand, Did Chi You could still launch some counterattacks by swinging it, but now, having lost Did Chi You as its wielder, it was truly difficult for the Did Chi You Sword to launch a counterattack.

Although it hid many wandering souls within its blade and possessed extremely powerful strength, when all is said and done, it is just a sword. Without the birth of a materialized sword spirit, a sword can do nothing.

Watching the Did Chi You Sword vibrate and struggle helplessly, Su Xuan suddenly thought of Han Fei's sword.

He did not know the origin of the Reverse Scale Sword, but its sword spirit could manifest on its own and hold the sword to fight enemies without the master's manipulation.

However, there are too many unsolved mysteries in this world, and Su Xuan would not exhaust himself trying to fathom its mysteries just because he thought of the Reverse Scale Sword.

A moment later, the Did Chi You Sword's struggle had vanished.

The sword no longer vibrated, nor did it release surging demonic energy.

However, Su Xuan could see that the sword's demonic energy had not actually disappeared; it was just that, due to Xiao Li's power, it no longer overflowed and was temporarily sealed within the blade.

After finishing these tasks, Xiao Li seemed to have consumed too much power, and her face became incomparably pale, yet her eyes grew increasingly bright.

Su Xuan knew what she meant; he reached out and picked up the Did Chi You Sword.

Afterwards, his other hand formed various hand seals, which he cast onto the Did Chi You Sword, adding another layer of sealing to it.

After dealing with the Did Chi You Sword, Xiao Li had no more worries.

Because she had consumed the vast majority of her power to seal the Did Chi You Sword, and all matters had been entrusted to Su Xuan, she could leave in peace.

But after thinking for a moment, she finally walked toward the people of the Shushan clan.

Yu Jun and the others also noticed Xiao Li walking toward them.

Earlier, when Xiao Li appeared, activated the dragon soul, and fought Did Chi You alongside Su Xuan, Yu Jun had noticed her. He had also heard Did Chi You's words and knew that this mysterious girl who called herself Xiao Li was related to the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden.

At this moment, watching Xiao Li approach.

Yu Jun's expression suddenly became somewhat agitated, "You..."

Xiao Li seemed to know what he meant; a faint smile appeared at the corners of her mouth, and she said in a soft voice, "For these two thousand years, your Shilan clan has steadfastly followed the Mysterious Maiden's orders, guarding the Yuyuan, ensuring that the Yuyuan never suffered any incidents. You have worked hard!"

Yu Jun came to his senses, looking flattered, and quickly said, "No, it was not hard work. My Shilan clan exists only because of Lady Mysterious Maiden. Guarding the Yuyuan is our duty. It is I, the Great Elder of the Shilan clan, who failed to do my duty, allowing the Yuyuan seal to be broken, which then caused Many Loulan to suffer this catastrophe..."

"If not for the help of Mr. Su, the Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School, my Shilan clan would likely have been wiped out by Did Chi You at the very first moment!"

Yu Jun did not stint in his praise of Su Xuan.

Although there had been some grievances between Shushan and the Yin-Yang School hundreds of years ago, those were matters of the past. In the present day, without Su Xuan's help, the Shilan clan alone would have been completely unable to deal with Did Chi You, let alone defeat him.

Today, in the defeat of Did Chi You, Su Xuan was the one with the greatest merit!

Xiao Li nodded, agreeing with Yu Jun's words.

She said one more thing to Yu Jun, "Did Chi You has been resealed, and there is no longer any need for the Yuyuan to exist. Your Shilan clan does not need to remain steadfast on the peak of Shushan anymore; you can try to step out..."

As these words fell into Yu Jun's ears, his expression was immediately moved.

Although Xiao Li was not the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, Yu Jun had a natural sense of conviction toward her words.

Once these words were spoken, did it not mean that their Shilan clan had completed the entrustment of the Mysterious Maiden from years ago, and completed the task she had assigned?

Thinking of this, Yu Jun felt very excited!

Two thousand years of steadfastness, two thousand years of being confined to their own ways.

Even as the winds and clouds changed in the Shu region, with dynasties rising and falling, the Shilan clan had always remained in that one mountain, silently executing the task assigned by the Mysterious Maiden. Suddenly, one day, someone related to the Mysterious Maiden told them that they had completed the task and no longer needed to remain steadfast.

Yu Jun suddenly wanted to cry.

Although during his leadership of the Shilan clan, there was a time when the Yuyuan seal was broken and Did Chi You reappeared, he had ultimately completed what the ancestors of Shushan had entrusted through the generations.

Successfully remaining steadfast until the day the task was completed.

From now on, their Shilan clan would no longer be the descendants of sinners.

They had completely cleansed themselves of their sins.

Watching the agitated Yu Jun, Xiao Li waited for a long time, and only after Yu Jun had gradually calmed down did she continue, "I am about to dissipate. After I dissipate, you can try to cultivate your granddaughter. Her constitution is special, and perhaps she can carry the power I leave behind..."

Yu Jun was stunned upon hearing this.

This mysterious existence related to the Mysterious Maiden actually knew Xiao Yu?

Xiao Li ignored Yu Jun's astonishment and spoke again, "If one day your granddaughter masters the power I left behind, you can let her get closer to that person. He holds the Huang Shi Heavenly Book and is the person of destiny for this age."

Yu Jun came to his senses, understood the meaning behind her words, and his expression could not help but become strange.

If he was not mistaken, "that person" referred to Su Xuan.

Xiao Yu was only a few years old, while Su Xuan was old enough to be Xiao Yu's father.

He did not know how the person before him could say such things.

However, although he had many complaints in his heart, Yu Jun ultimately did not say them to her face.

Xiao Li noticed Yu Jun's expression but did not offer much explanation.

If asked, for a deity, a mortal's life is less than a hundred years; even a gap of a few hundred years is not considered much to them.

Following this, Xiao Li spoke at length with Yu Jun.

Yu Jun kept all of Xiao Li's words in his heart.

Afterwards, Xiao Li glanced at the people around her and did not continue to say anything to them.

She walked directly toward the Pixiu.

As she approached the Pixiu, the Pixiu seemed to know that the time had come.

Its body released a dazzling golden light.

Then, after Xiao Li arrived on its back, it immediately flapped its wings and flew high into the air.

Flying into mid-air, a loud roar came from its mouth, as if it had communicated with some power in the dark; space suddenly split open, and a portal appeared before it.
