[Fang Jingchun told you that when he returned a few days ago, the Sword Pavilion had already been destroyed. Fortunately, he encountered the severely injured Lin Tian.]
[After bringing Lin Tian to the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm to recuperate for two days and stabilize the Bizarre Insect inside his body, he returned to Heaven's Revelation Academy.]
[You waited for three straight days before Lin Tian finally woke up.]
[After waking, Lin Tian told you everything that had happened at the Sword Pavilion.]
[More than half a year ago, Xia Qiange went to the Sword Pavilion Master for help, saying that a mysterious person had entered the Blood Demon Secret Realm and injured her.]
[That person then released the Bizarre Insect beneath the Blood Stele. At the time, she fought desperately to resist it and was ultimately gravely wounded.]
[After returning to the Sword Pavilion, the Pavilion Master instructed him to take Xia Qiange to the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm to recover, while he would handle the remaining matters.]
[A few days ago, after seeing that Xia Qiange's condition had somewhat improved, he left the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm alone and returned to the Sword Pavilion.]
[When he arrived there, he discovered that the Pavilion Master had been injured.]
[The Pavilion Master told him that his identity had already been exposed, that the Sword Pavilion could no longer remain in Youzhou, and that he was to go to Qingzhou to find Fang Jingchun.]
[But just as he was preparing to leave, the enemy attacked. He was injured by the aftershock of the battle and eventually collapsed not far from the Sword Pavilion.]
[After hearing this, you already knew the rest. He had later been found by Fang Jingchun.]
["Fifth Senior Sister, do you think the Pavilion Master might have..."]
[Lin Tian looked at Gu Xinyue, but stopped halfway through his sentence.]
["Do not worry, Xiao Tian. The Pavilion Master is more formidable than we imagine. He will be fine."]
[At this time, Fang Jingchun also nodded in agreement.]
["That is right. Since the Pavilion Master said his identity was exposed, then he definitely would not remain in Youzhou. Most likely, he has already gone to Zhongzhou."]
[After learning the full situation, you told everyone that after some time, you planned to return to Zhongzhou to continue cultivating.]
[In the end, Gu Xinyue also decided to go with you. Now that the Bizarre Insect from the Blood Demon Secret Realm had escaped, Youzhou was no longer a place where anyone could stay.]
[That Bizarre Insect definitely knew the identities of all the people from their Sword Pavilion.]
[At this moment, your gaze shifted to Lin Tian. Lin Tian let out a long sigh.]
["I will pass. Third Senior Sister is still in the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm. In a little while, Sixth Senior Brother and I will bring her back."]
[Hearing this, Fang Jingchun gave his own opinion.]
["Xiao Tian and I will take care of Third Senior Sister first. Little Junior Brother, you and Fifth Senior Sister should go to Zhongzhou first and look for news of Eldest Senior Sister and the Pavilion Master. Once things on our side are settled, we will come and join you."]
[After leaving Heaven's Revelation Academy, you told Gu Xinyue to return to Zhongzhou first, while you planned to make a trip to the Desolate Village.]
[You had not returned in so many years, and you had no idea whether Ye Chuxue was still there.]
[If she was still in the Desolate Village, you did not mind bringing her to Zhongzhou as well.]
[For Humans now, the Taiyin Body was an indispensable source of combat strength. They had to unite in order to resist the Bizarre Insects.]
[As you were about to arrive at the Desolate Village, a man in black suddenly appeared in front of you.]
[You could not sense any cultivation from him. He seemed just like an ordinary mortal.]
[In such a situation, there were only two possibilities. One was that he really was an ordinary mortal. The other was that his cultivation far surpassed yours.]
[In the present situation, you were more inclined toward the latter.]
[Fortunately, through the Eye of Truth, you learned his true identity.]
[Chu Wudi: Human]
[Talent: Sword Dao Prodigy]
[Cultivation: Mahayana]
[Spiritual Root: Top-Grade Wind Spiritual Root]
[When you saw that he was actually at the Mahayana realm, your heart instantly turned cold.]
[What shocked you even more was that he was not a Bizarre Insect, but a living, breathing Human at the Mahayana realm.]
["Senior, why are you blocking my path?"]
[Chu Wudi let out a cold laugh and spoke.]
["I want the sword on your body!"]
[The moment you heard that, you immediately understood why he had come looking for you.]
[At the same time, however, you were extremely curious how he knew the Taixu Sword was on your person.]
["Senior, I do not know what you are talking about. What sword? I do not have any sword on me."]
["Boy, do not say I did not give you a chance. Take out the Taixu Sword on your body!"]
[Seeing that you could not deceive him, you had no choice but to obediently take out the Taixu Sword and hand it over.]
["Oh? You even repaired a small section of it. I really did underestimate you."]
["Since Senior has already obtained the Taixu Sword, then this junior will take his leave first."]
["Originally, I did intend to let you go after taking the Taixu Sword. But now I have discovered that you seem to have quite a few secrets on your body."]
[Looking at the strange smile on his face, you inwardly cursed that things were bad and immediately used the Great Void Technique to flee.]
[But in the very next moment, you discovered that no matter where you fled, he would always arrive at your landing point first.]
[Gradually, you fell into despair. You desperately fled across every corner of Qingzhou, but still could not escape the palm of his hand.]
[In the end, unable to resist any longer, you were captured by him.]
[Chu Wudi began performing the Soul Searching Technique on you.]
[You died.]
[Ding! Simulation ended. Please select the following reward.]
[1: Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivation from this simulation]
[2: Fourth-Grade Alchemist cultivation]
[3: All Pill Recipes comprehended in this simulation]
[4: All remaining Spirit Stones from this simulation]
[5: All true insights from this simulation]
[6: Talent from this simulation: Eye of Truth!]
[7: Taixu Sword Fragment ×1]
[8: Void-Breaking Pill ×1]
"Is this Chu Wudi sick in the head or what? I already gave you the Taixu Sword, and you still killed me?"
Looking at his own death in the simulation, Su Ming could not help complaining.
How had he ended up being targeted by a Mahayana cultivator?
Moreover, almost no one knew that he had the Taixu Sword. Only Gu Xinyue knew, and the only other person who knew, Wan Yemo, had long since died.
And judging by the other man's attire, Su Ming felt that the one who entered the Blood Demon Secret Realm and released the Bizarre Insect was this very Chu Wudi.
This simulation gave Su Ming a great deal of useful information.
Whether it was his experiences in the Great Zhou Dynasty or the destruction of the Sword Pavilion, both had sounded an alarm in his mind.
What he had to face was not only the Bizarre Insects, but also traitors among Humans.
What Su Ming currently knew was that regardless of whether Lin Qi interfered or not, the Blood Demon Secret Realm would still be destroyed by Chu Wudi twenty years later.
And he himself would also be found by Chu Wudi, though he still did not know what method Chu Wudi had used to locate him.
Twenty years!
Only by breaking through to Mahayana within twenty years would he have a chance to kill Chu Wudi.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the simulator.
[Simulation Cooldown: Fifteen Days!]
While the simulator was on cooldown, Su Ming prepared to return to Qingzhou.
First, he would kill Lin Qi ahead of time to eliminate future trouble. Second, he would bring Ye Chuxue with him to Zhongzhou to develop there.
After seeing these two simulations, he knew that relying on his strength alone would be very limited if he wanted to resist all of this.
If he nurtured geniuses like Ye Chuxue and Zhou Lingxi together, things would be much smoother when the time came to fight the Bizarre Insects.
Su Ming went to find Lin Tian and informed him that he was returning to Qingzhou.
