205: With the treasure in front of you, how can you not want it?

Give him Phoenix Blood and have him come to Han Shui Temple. The so-called alienation is merely superficial; the true objective is to have him come here and seize the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow.

Once he obtains the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, countless people will surely become wary of him. Currently, his cultivation is low, so some might not take him seriously, but if he gets the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, that might change.

Even Yan Junlin will likely be wary of him.

The reason Yan Junlin considers him a brother now is because he believes Xie Weilou is still under his control. If he feels he can't control him, he will definitely have other plans, perhaps even aiming for his life.

The Imperial Princes and Princesses are all competing for that throne. Who would want to keep someone who could contend with them in the future?

Essentially, it's still alienation—making people wary of Xie Weilou. This isn't just about alienating Xie Weilou and Yan Junlin, but alienating Xie Weilou from all the Imperial Princes and Princesses.

And for Xie Weilou, under the premise of various parties being wary, he will likely have to cultivate diligently to save his own life.

A whetstone, this is the true whetstone!

Only Xie Weilou, wielding the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, can pose a threat to everyone. This is the best whetstone.

That old scoundrel, the Xia Emperor, truly lives up to his title as Emperor. He's incredibly calculating. Prime Minister Wei's so-called hint must also have been the Xia Emperor's instruction.

Does he really think Xie Weilou can't overthrow this Great Xia Dynasty?

The old monk smiled faintly and said, "This old monk is the controller of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, the Green Dragon Envoy. I once accompanied the former Emperor, clearing obstacles and expanding territory for him, becoming a butcher who killed countless people. However, my end was not good. Suspected by the Emperor and feared by powerful officials, I ultimately had no choice but to convert to Buddhism to find peace in my later years!"

The emperor yu sword and the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow both contain Great Xia's Fortune Power. Unless both are held by one person,

otherwise, if two people wield these items, they will certainly be wary and suspicious of each other.

The old monk asked with a smile, "So, do you still want the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow?"

Xie Weilou countered, "If I obtain the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, what will Master do?"

The old monk replied, "This old monk just said that my divine soul is shattered, and I don't have long to live. Whether you obtain the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow or not, my fate remains the same."

"Understood. Please bring out the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, Master."

Xie Weilou said directly.

With a treasure before him, how could he not want it?

If he were truly just a mere Xuanhuang Realm cultivator, he might still consider whether or not to wield this blade. But now, he doesn't need to hesitate at all.

Suspicion?

Alienation?

Scheming?

What kind of nonsense is this!

When I rise, I'll definitely crush all your so-called conspiracies and schemes!

What if you become a dragon?

What if you are the Divine Court?

I'll have to smash you all to pieces before you realize how ruthless I truly am.

The old monk smiled and nodded, "Good! Since you want this blade, this old monk will give you this opportunity. For someone like you, who knows it's a hot potato yet still desires it, either you are too greedy or you are full of confidence in yourself. This old monk believes you are the latter."

With that, he waved his hand.

Boom!

A blood-colored treasured saber appeared before Xie Weilou. The surrounding air vibrated, and an invisible, blood-soaked aura permeated the area. It was indeed a Demonic Blade.

The saber was three feet five inches long, forged from special materials, adorned with exquisite dragon patterns and Vermilion Bird divine patterns. Its blade was sharp, gleaming with a bloody light, a fierce weapon. Four characters were inscribed on its body: Great Xia Dragon Sparrow.

The hilt was coiled with a dragon, and the guard was a soaring dragon spitting out the blade, topped with a blood-colored vertical eye resembling a Vermilion Bird's eye. A malevolent aura permeated it; it was a dragon-slaying blade, incredibly ferocious.

"Heh! A dragon-slaying saber."

A smile appeared on Xie Weilou's face. This saber likely surpassed the Supreme-Grade Spiritual Weapon, reaching a level he was unfamiliar with.

The old monk smiled wryly upon hearing this, "Dragon-slaying saber? That's not wrong to say. This old monk also thought about slaying a dragon back then..."

The so-called dragon-slaying naturally meant wanting to slay the Emperor. The Emperor was suspicious of him, and he wasn't a good person himself, so he naturally had other ideas. Unfortunately, he failed and could only come here to live in seclusion.

"Master is a formidable person, this junior admires you!"

Xie Weilou gave a thumbs up.

He thought, how could such a formidable person suddenly convert to Buddhism without a reason? It turned out he had failed and came here to escape.

"People, ah! There are always moments of impulsiveness, but born as a human, if one has no pursuits, wouldn't it be a wasted journey in this world?"

The old monk's eyes were deep.

The so-called conversion to Buddhism was merely a failure, a desire to escape his failure here and suppress the unwillingness in his heart. If he had entered the Divine Court, he would still have to fight his way out.

What a pity!

He couldn't pass the Divine Court's barrier.

Xie Weilou asked, "May I ask, Master, how can I control this blade?"

The old monk stood up, "Grasp it. If it recognizes you, you can control it. I'll give you the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn. After that, if you've mastered this blade, I'll give you something else."

Having said that, he walked out of the ancient temple. There were some petty individuals here today, and he needed to deal with them.

After the old monk left.

Xie Weilou grasped the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow. He had only drawn a trace of Phoenix Blood aura into his body, so whether he could control this blade was unknown.

Buzz!

The moment Xie Weilou grasped the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, the blade immediately resisted. Clearly, a mere wisp of Phoenix Blood aura was not enough to gain the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow's recognition.

Boom!

Suddenly, a wave of pressure erupted from the Heavenly Book within Xie Weilou's body. The Great Xia Dragon Sparrow instantly quieted down.

"It still has to be the Heavenly Book, ah!"

Xie Weilou smiled faintly, holding the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, and lightly swung it.

This blade was extraordinary. With his current cultivation, without the power of the Demon Hand, it would likely be difficult to unleash its true might.

Outside the ancient temple.

There was a lot of commotion.

Killing continued incessantly.

— — — — — —

One stick of incense later.

The entire Han Shui Temple became completely silent.

The old monk returned to the ancient temple, covered in a blood-soaked aura. There was no trace of the Buddha's light typically found on a monk, only a dense killing intent.

He watched Xie Weilou effortlessly holding the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, a look of relief in his eyes. "You indeed mastered this blade. This old monk will ask you one last question: After obtaining this blade, what do you plan to do?"

Xie Weilou pondered, "Whoever blocks my path, I'll use it to kill them."

"What if the Emperor tries to harm you?"

The old monk continued to ask.

"Slay the dragon."

Xie Weilou said indifferently.

"A fine dragon-slaying, this old monk is very satisfied with that answer."

The old monk's smile was gentle, his compassionate face actually concealing a terrifying killing intent. With a wave of his hand, a blood-colored bead appeared in his grasp.

Whoosh!

The blood-colored bead flew towards Xie Weilou.

The old monk mused, "All of this old monk's power is contained here. After you obtain the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, you will surely face many troubles. Once you refine this bead, you will definitely advance further. You can expose the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow to others, but do not let anyone know that this old monk gave you the Dao Fruit."

"Thank you, Master."

Xie Weilou didn't stand on ceremony, taking the blood-colored bead. The moment he held the bead, he faintly felt an inexplicable palpitation.

How could he refuse a Dao Fruit gifted by an old man before his demise?

The old monk nodded gently. He sat on the prayer mat, picked up the wooden fish, closed his eyes, and gently tapped the wooden fish.

A moment later.

The sound of the wooden fish ceased, and the old monk's body began to dissipate.

"Farewell, Master."

Xie Weilou bowed.

After the old monk's body had completely dispersed, Xie Weilou looked at the blood-colored bead in his hand and secretly thought, "That old scoundrel isn't a good person either!"
