Chapter 406

It was said that this old man's internal energy had already reached the peak, his entire body was enveloped by his internal energy. Although he could not travel as far as Zhang Xiaohua's divine sense, he could still distinguish all the movements near him. Zhang Xiaohua's flying sword was about to pierce the old man's forehead when at the crucial moment, the old man took the risk and used his internal energy to lock onto the small sword. He risked transferring his internal energy to his left hand and grasped Zhang Xiaohua's flying sword in his hand.

When Zhang Xiaohua saw this, he was incomparably shocked and was so scared that his face turned ashen.

In fact, this was also because Zhang Xiaohua was too careless. The previous few times, as long as he used his divine sense, the flying sword would not be as agile as his will and would be able to avoid being caught by others. This time, Zhang Xiaohua also thought the same and only changed the trajectory slightly. This was why the old man took advantage of this and lost his flying sword.

When Zhang Xiaohua used his divine sense to move the small sword again, the small sword in the old man's hand was like a small snake that had been grabbed by its weak point. After struggling a few times and flashing left and right, it was unable to break free from the old man's left hand that had become somewhat thick.

When the mysterious old man saw that the flying sword was unable to break free from his palm after struggling a few times in his hand, he could not help but laugh and said, "Young man, you're actually cultivating the Way of Immortality. Hahaha, I didn't expect that after the Way of Immortality had been destroyed for ten thousand years, this old man would actually be able to see someone from the Way of Immortality. It's really like wearing out iron shoes in a fruitless search only to find it without any effort. If I had known that I would meet someone from the Way of Immortality today, why would I have spent so much effort and set up a formation?

As long as I capture you and interrogate you about the Way of Immortality, that would be enough. "

Zhang Xiaohua forced a smile and said, "Old man's martial arts are superb, this young one admires you. But if you want to capture this one, it's impossible."

"This?" The old man was also somewhat hesitant and said, "What kind of qinggong did you use just now?

You actually managed to escape from here to there in an instant? "

Zhang Xiaohua curled her lips and said with a smile, "If you return the small sword to me, I can consider telling you."

When the old man heard this, he tightened his grip even more. He knew in his heart that he had just taken a risk and was lucky to have succeeded. He reckoned that this young man was also a beginner and had not yet grasped the essence of the flying sword. Otherwise, he really had never heard of a martial artist being able to catch an immortal flying sword with his hand. This was the biggest joke in the world.

The old man advised, "Young man, although I can't see your face, but I can roughly guess your age. Moreover, I know your figure and back. You have to consider carefully. Although I can't capture you, but for now, you can't do anything to me. You can leave today, and I will definitely not make things difficult for you. But, the moment you walk out of this hall, I will leave and let my sect announce to the entire Jianghu that you are a person of the Way of Immortality, and that you have the inheritance of the Way of Immortality. Also, I will draw your silhouette and back into a drawing. That's right, the fact that you know the Ethereal Steps will be announced to the entire Jianghu. Tell me, although I can't capture you, but can the entire Jianghu not capture you?"

In an instant, Zhang Xiaohua's face changed greatly. The thoughts in her mind spun a few times. This old man was right. As long as the news that she had the inheritance of the Way of Immortality spread out, she would definitely become the most delicious bait in the entire Jianghu. She would definitely be the target that everyone in the Jianghu would want to capture. What was the Way of Immortality?

It was a path of cultivation that had the ability to overturn rivers and seas. She had only cultivated it for a few years and was already able to face this mysterious old man alone without falling into a disadvantageous position. If she cultivated it for a few more years, this old man would definitely not be her opponent. This was a temptation that no one would be able to resist.

The most frightening thing was that there were still super sects with the inheritance of the Way of Immortality in the Jianghu. They had never been able to find the reason for the annihilation of the Way of Immortality, so they had never been able to cultivate the Way of Immortality. If they knew that someone could cultivate the Way of Immortality and knew the trick to cultivating the Way of Immortality, even if they had to turn the entire Jianghu upside down, they would still want to find her.

At that time, it would no longer be a matter of her alone.

Everything about her, including her family, would definitely become the focus of everyone in the Jianghu.

However, the old man's thoughts were vicious. He knew that he could not force Zhang Xiaohua to submit, so he used the entire Jianghu to force Zhang Xiaohua to submit.

And this happened to be Zhang Xiaohua's Achilles' heel. Originally, she had already made an incantation with her hands and was about to escape, but now, she hesitated and stopped there!

That old man was actually afraid of Zhang Xiaohua's unpredictable Lightness Skill. As long as Zhang Xiaohua was determined to leave, he would definitely not be able to stop her. Thus, he used words to threaten her. Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's action, he naturally knew that his words had hit her vital point, so he smiled and said, "Little friend, I still have the same promise as before. If you agree to submit to me and tell me all the Way of Immortality that you know and tell me how to cultivate it, I guarantee with my life that I will absolutely keep your secret. Moreover, when we are old, the power of our entire gang will be handed over to you. At that time, you will be the leader of the gang. Moreover, with your Way of Immortality and the help of our brothers in the gang, it is not impossible for you to unify the entire Jianghu and become the master of the Jianghu."

"Unify the Jianghu?!" Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and said, "What's the use of that?"

"Hahaha." When the old man heard this, he seemed to have heard a huge joke and said, "The benefits of unifying the Jianghu are endless. I can't explain it to you at the moment. After you make a poison oath and submit to me, I will tell you in detail. What do you think?"

At this time, Zhang Xiaohua had encountered a huge test.

Looking at the old man in the underground hall, taking the lives of seventy-seven girls and setting up such a heaven defying array, she knew that he was definitely not a righteous person. At least, he was not an upright person. This was something that Zhang Xiaohua did not like and was not ashamed to be associated with him. However, if she did not choose to cooperate with him and become his disciple, this old man would announce his secret to the entire Jianghu. Although the Misty School had been destroyed for many years, the number of people who practiced the Ethereal Steps could be counted with one's fingers. There were also a few people who had obtained the Ethereal Steps technique. Although Zhang Chengyue was dead and He Tianshu's whereabouts were unknown, during the Martial Arts Exhibition, not only the elite disciples of the Misty School, even the little monk and the old monk of the Dalin Temple had seen him display it. With their intelligence and wisdom, it was extremely easy for them to guess his identity.

That was because the Misty School had been destroyed. He was not in the Misty Mountain Villa and still knew the Ethereal Steps. It was easy for them to guess. And if they were to investigate a little, Lu Zhen, Guozhuang House and even the newly born Bairen would definitely fall into their eyes. At that time, he would not be able to protect them alone.

Dilemma, it was really a dilemma. This was a dilemma that interrogated his conscience, conscience and chivalry!

Zhang Xiaohua did not know how to answer.

Should he help the tyrant?

Or should he make the entire Jianghu his enemy?

He had never made such a difficult choice before!

In an instant, Zhang Xiaohua thought of many things. There was her mother, her grandmother, her father, her dream, her second brother, and even Nie Qianyu in Ping Yang City. If it were them, what would they do?

A chivalrous heart and a compassionate heart. Since ancient times, it was difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety at the same time. Zhang Xiaohua seemed to have an idea. Perhaps, it was time for him to give up something.

But, was this kind of sacrifice worth it?

Would he be able to gain the recognition of others?

Zhang Xiaohua did not have the slightest confidence!

But, if he did not make this choice, did he have a better choice?

Of course, the best choice would be to kill this mysterious old man in front of him and not give him the slightest chance to speak. However, his martial arts were so profound that even after using all his moves, it was only a draw. Silencing him was just a thought, but it was a bit of an extravagant hope.

Did he have any other tricks up his sleeve?

That old man saw that Zhang Xiaohua was deep in thought and did not rush him. He knew how heavy his weight was and was not afraid that this young man in front of him would not fall into his trap.

Zhang Xiaohua who was opposite him pondered but still could not think of a good way to defeat the enemy. She had learned a lot from Elder Huo's jade slip but none of them were effective. And her understanding of heaven's law could only be used for cultivation. In terms of spells, she was lacking. Zhang Xiaohua secretly made up her mind. As long as she could get out of this predicament, the first thing she would do when she returned was to look for jade slips for spells. She would cultivate more spells against the enemy and could not simply place her hopes on flying swords and escaping techniques.

Running away would always be the inferior option!

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaohua's heart skipped a beat. She seemed to have thought of something. She reached into her bosom and after a moment, a trace of a smile appeared on her face. She took her hand out of her bosom, but her right hand was slightly clenched as if she had taken something.

The old man was also vigilant. He only circulated all the internal energy in his body and quickly circulated it through his meridians to protect his entire body. He then asked, "Young man, have you considered my conditions?"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "You only gave me two options."

The old man nodded and said, "The first is to acknowledge me as your master and teach me the Immortal Path Technique. I will return the favor and use all my strength to help you unify the Jianghu. The second is to leave now. I will immediately announce to the entire Jianghu that you possess the Immortal Path Inheritance. You can wait to face the entire Jianghu's search."

Zhang Xiaohua laughed and said, "One is to make me help the evildoer, and my conscience won't let me go. The other is to endanger my own safety, so of course I'm not willing to leave."

"Do you have a third option?"

The old man sneered.

"Yes." Zhang Xiaohua also sneered and said, "I have just found a new path, but I still need your cooperation."

"Eh?

What path? "The old man pretended to be surprised.

"That is to kill you to silence you!" Zhang Xiaohua said sternly.

"Hahahaha." The old man looked up and laughed, saying, "Then I will tell you clearly, this path is blocked!"

Before the old man could finish his sentence, Zhang Xiaohua's figure flashed and his hand formed a seal. With a twist of his body, he disappeared. The old man felt that he was circulating his inner force and paying close attention to his surroundings. Sure enough, after a short while, Zhang Xiaohua's figure flashed behind the old man. The old man seemed to have a pair of eyes hiding behind his back. He immediately turned around and raised his short sword to stab at Zhang Xiaohua. Zhang Xiaohua did not dodge. Instead, he leaped high into the air and raised his right hand, swinging it at the old man!
