Chapter 146 You are Brother Xie's child
Xie Wanning deactivated her invisibility talisman and appeared in front of Lin Xuanjin.
She pointed to herself, her voice filled with panic and sorrow: "Master, I am your eldest disciple, Xu Weilin! You are the sect leader of the Twilight Snow Sect, you have five disciples, have you forgotten them all?"
Lin Xuanjin's eyes flickered slightly, but he still picked up his sword: "Demonic cultivator, don't even think about disturbing my mind."
As he spoke, the temperature around Lin Xuanjin dropped rapidly. He stood up and flew up, surrounded by ice spikes. He shouted sharply, "Break the ice!"
In an instant, the ice cone shattered into countless pieces of ice. Lin Xuanjin pointed his sword at Xie Wanning, and countless pieces of ice flew towards Xie Wanning.
Xie Wanning gritted her teeth and threw out three Rank 9 Explosive Talismans.
After an explosion, Xie Wanning rushed out of the thick smoke, wielding the Luoze Sword and unleashing more than a dozen ice blades.
Lin Xuanjin reached out to catch it, but heard a voice: "Ice Crack!"
The ice blade instantly split into dozens of smaller ice blades, slashing him.
"How do you know the Cold Sword Technique? Damn demonic cultivator, how dare you steal the sword technique left behind by Brother Xie!" A murderous glint flashed in Lin Xuanjin's eyes as he charged towards Xie Wanning.
But Xie Wanning quickly dodged; she had a speed-boosting talisman on her body and instantly left Lin Xuanjin behind.
Lin Xuanjin gritted his teeth in anger, and as he flew, he slashed with his sword, trying to knock Xie Wanning down.
Unfortunately, Xie Wanning's power increased significantly in this area, and even her spiritual energy recovery speed was faster.
Lin Xuanjin's attacks grew stronger and stronger; even the slightest touch would result in serious injury.
Xie Wanning carefully dodged, flying towards the center of the domain.
Lin Xuanjin caught up as expected. Xie Wanning stopped running and stood still. Lin Xuanjin's sword pierced Xie Wanning's body in an instant.
However, there was no painful scream as expected. Xie Wanning vanished instantly, leaving behind only a tattered substitute talisman.
"Master, I'm here." Xie Wanning sat on Luo Ze Sword and waved.
"Despicable!" Lin Xuanjin was about to give chase when he found himself unable to move. Looking down, he saw a ninth-grade binding array running beneath his feet, and the more he struggled, the faster his strength was depleted.
Xie Wanning also placed a ninth-grade binding magic artifact, binding Lin Xuanjin's hands and feet with iron chains. Xie Wanning waved her hand and scattered a sleeping potion, and Lin Xuanjin felt weak all over.
Seeing Lin Xuanjin finally quiet down, Xie Wanning sighed and rubbed her forehead.
How can we help Master break free from the control of his inner demons? Master hates demonic cultivators, so his inner demons transform everyone in front of him into the appearance of demonic cultivators. As long as the demonic cultivators are not destroyed, Master will not return to normal.
Xie Wan Ning's mind was filled with the image of her father again. Xie Cang was her master's savior, a sworn brother, and the source of his inner demons.
Impersonating Xie Cang won't work, so let's use what they did together to awaken our master.
Xie Wanning recalled the memories she had of her master, in which her master and father always dined and played together, drinking wine and sparring with swords.
Sword dance?
Xie Wan Ning recalled that she had seen her master dance with a sword under the moon when he was sad. His sword strikes were swift and skillful, yet beautiful, which truly impressed her.
Xie Wanning stepped forward and said, "Master, you think I am a demonic cultivator, a despicable person who bewitches your mind. But this sword dance shouldn't be something a demonic cultivator could know, right?"
Xie Wanning picked up the Luoze sword and, still remembering the movements she had seen before, began to wield it, one move at a time.
Her sword strikes were swift and powerful, each move precise yet elegant, making them highly entertaining to watch.
The previously irritable Lin Xuanjin suddenly calmed down. He looked at Xie Wanning, but it seemed as if he was looking at others through her.
He recalled that night more than a decade ago when he and Brother Xie drank, chatted, and even sparred with swords. Brother Xie had allowed him to travel the world, and he promised to find a suitable successor for Brother Xie. The two brothers had chatted amicably all night. Little did he know that he would regret his decision to travel the world for over a decade, and that he would search the entire continent for a successor to fulfill his promise.
The woman before him was his disciple, and the most suitable successor to the Cold and Fierce Sword Technique.
"Xiao Lin?" Lin Xuanjin's eyes cleared, and he called out.
"Master, you finally recognize me." Xie Wanning stopped what she was doing and came to Lin Xuanjin.
Suddenly, Lin Xuanjin's eyes turned red, and demonic energy surged from his body. He screamed in agony, "Lin Xuanjin, how could you forget your hatred for demonic cultivators? The person in front of you is a demonic cultivator!"
"No, she is my disciple."
"Don't be fooled!"
"Get out, get out of my body!"
Lin Xuanjin's expression was frenzied, his face contorted in rage, as if he were enduring immense pain.
Xie Wanning's face darkened, and she unconsciously frowned.
She knew that her master had broken free from the control of the inner demon, but the inner demon was unwilling to let her master go. It was currently vying with her master for control of the body.
Once the inner demon seizes the master's body, the master's soul will be erased. Even if it doesn't, the inner demon is likely to fight the master to the death, resulting in mutual destruction and the master's cultivation and consciousness disappearing.
Unless Xie Wanning eliminates her inner demons from the outside, her master's situation is extremely dangerous.
Xie Wanning had a flash of inspiration and came up with an idea.
A ball of flame shot out from Xie Wanning's hand, and she used it to ignite Lin Xuanjin. However, the flame did not burn Lin Xuanjin; instead, it removed the demonic energy from his body.
The inner demon's voice grew weaker and weaker, and Lin Xuanjin finally regained control of his body.
Xie Wanning quickly helped Lin Xuanjin up and fed him a Rank 9 Recovery Pill. Lin Xuanjin's aura and spiritual power stabilized, and his scarlet eyes returned to their previous state.
Xie Wanning carefully helped Lin Xuanjin to an open space and slowly channeled spiritual energy into him.
Finally, Lin Xuanjin woke up.
"Master!" Xie Wanning exclaimed joyfully, but met Lin Xuanjin's probing gaze.
"Xiaolin, no, who exactly are you? Xu Weilin is not your name." Lin Xuanjin's tone was very certain, and upon closer listening, there was even a hint of expectation.
Xie Wanning lowered her head helplessly. After hesitating for a moment, she raised her eyes again, her eyes filled with helplessness and shame: "As expected, I couldn't hide it from Master. My name is not Xu Weilin. This is just my pseudonym. My real name is Xie Wanning."
"Xie Wanning, you are Brother Xie's child!" Lin Xuanjin recalled that Xie Wanning had just used Phoenix Fire, and then thought about Xie Wanning's extremely strong talent for the Cold Sword Technique. He instantly understood everything.
"Yes." Xie Wanning did not deny it.
"You are Brother Xie's child! That's wonderful! I've found Brother Xie's biological child!" Lin Xuanjin stood up, his face flushed, and he was so excited that he could hardly breathe.
"Master, what do you mean by that?" Xie Wanning asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Brother Xie and his wife were together back then, but they didn't see each other often. His wife seemed to be busy with something. Until one day, she left and never came back. I asked Brother Xie where she went, but he wouldn't say. It wasn't until we were drinking that he told me that she had been kidnapped. The kidnapper was incredibly powerful, someone Brother Xie couldn't afford to offend. He was the sect leader, and behind him was the entire Yingxue Sect. But he asked me to make sure I went to see his unborn child. That child is you."
Xie Wanning fell into a long silence after hearing this, until Lin Xuanjin patted her and said, "It's okay, everything will pass. Your teacher will always be with you through this difficult time."
The master and apprentice chatted for a long time.
After it was over, Xie Wanning opened her domain.
As soon as she stepped outside, Meng Qingyue rushed towards her anxiously: "Senior Sister, you're finally out! The results of the sect competition have been announced!"
