"The Dao cannot be lightly transmitted."

Liang Yi naturally could not share the things his Master told him with others. After speaking, he took the treasure sword in his hand and walked straight toward the next stone chamber.

This action naturally made many experts present extremely angry. The Master of the Four Ghosts of Southern Mountain saw this seal and subconsciously reached out to grab this masked little doll. However, he was stopped by Old Ghost Fu.

"Sinful disciple, why are you blocking me?"

The elder looked at his own disciple with a face full of dissatisfaction and asked.

"Master, you must not do this."

Old Ghost Fu hurriedly said: "This person was born in a Holy Land, and his Master even suppressed one of the Five Elders of Sky Zen with a single sword."

As soon as these words were spoken, the group of experts who previously wanted to take action were all stunned in place.

The strength of the Five Elders of Sky Zen is on par with theirs. Even if they have cultivated in this secret chamber for a thousand years, they dare not say they could suppress him with one sword.

Moreover, they still remembered that other masked man. If a fight broke out, they would not gain any advantage.

The movements of the crowd naturally could not escape Liang Yi's perception. Before he spoke, he had been holding a communication jade talisman in his hand. If anyone dared to make a move on him, he would immediately call for his Master.

Liang Yi stopped his steps and said to the Four Ghosts of Southern Mountain: "You guys are quite sensible."

After speaking, he ignored the crowd and continued forward.

The Four Ghosts of Southern Mountain looked at each other, then immediately followed Liang Yi's footsteps.

They just did not believe that they could not steal the teaching.

This action naturally could not be hidden from others, and many people followed behind the four of them.

Even if something happened later, the ones in danger would be the Four Ghosts of Southern Mountain.

At the same time, inside the last stone chamber.

Shi Xuan was sitting cross-legged, beginning to comprehend the true essence of the Great Dao. But for some unknown reason, although his True Intent was clearly already at the Great Perfection stage, and there was a feeling it was about to overflow, he could never cross that step.

Rustle...

A burst of footsteps came from outside, interrupting Shi Xuan's seclusion. He slowly opened his eyes and looked outside the stone chamber, only to see Liang Yi standing outside with a smile.

"Master, my Sword Intent is complete."

Liang Yi said with an excited face.

"Not bad, you have not let this Seat down. Then why do you not continue cultivating?"

Shi Xuan asked in return.

Liang Yi awkwardly scratched his head: "Master, although this disciple's Sword Intent is complete, reaching Great Perfection is not a matter of a day and a night. So this disciple wants to quiet down for a bit."

After Shi Xuan heard these words, he murmured: "Could it be that this Seat is too impatient?"

After speaking, he stood up: "You are right. Just so happens that a day from now, the Secret Storehouse will open. If you have any questions, feel free to ask this Master."

"Thank you, Master."

After Liang Yi finished speaking, he subconsciously glanced outside the stone chamber. The next second, four shadows flashed past quickly.

This scene naturally could not escape Shi Xuan's eyes, but he did not care much. Anyway, he would not tell the crowd the mysteries within the Secret Storehouse. It did not matter if these fellows listened to the basic teachings.

Liang Yi began to speak out all the doubts he had in his cultivation during these days.

Although his Sword Intent was already complete, this completion happened too fast, giving him a feeling of unreality.

Shi Xuan patiently answered his disciple one by one.

Time quickly passed by one day.

The voice everyone heard previously rang out again.

"The cultivation time for the Secret Storehouse has arrived. The exit will be open for one day. If anyone does not wish to leave, they may continue cultivating in the Secret Storehouse and wait for the next opening."

Shi Xuan stood up upon hearing this and said to Liang Yi: "Let's go. We should be heading back too. Coincidentally, I also have doubts I wish to ask your Ancestral Master about."

"Mn."

Liang Yi responded and followed behind Shi Xuan as they left.

Along the way, the master and disciple duo were undoubtedly the focus of all the cultivators in the stone chambers.

However, most people just glanced at the two of them once before continuing their cultivation.

Several hours later, Shi Xuan and his disciple left the Secret Storehouse. As soon as they exited the Secret Storehouse, they discovered several people following behind them.

Among them were the Four Ghosts of Southern Mountain, the Four Elders of Sky Zen, and Jin Xi and his group. The remaining cultivators chose to stay inside the Secret Storehouse.

Shi Xuan could understand why Jin Xi and the others or the Four Elders of Sky Zen would leave. But it was strange that the Four Ghosts of Southern Mountain also chose to come out, which was somewhat different from their style.

Shi Xuan ignored the crowd and took Liang Yi away on his sword.

Seeing that this frightening guy had finally left, the Four Elders of Sky Zen let out a long sigh of relief in their hearts.

After leaving Sky Zen Mountain, Shi Xuan suddenly stopped. He turned his head to look at the Four Ghosts of Southern Mountain who were closely following behind them, and asked in a cold voice: "What business do you have?"

Jin Xi and his group, who had already parted ways with Shi Xuan and his disciple, subconsciously stopped and looked at the Four Ghosts of Southern Mountain upon hearing these words.

They all wore expressions of curiosity on their faces. If it were not for their fear of that masked guy, they would have wanted to ask: Are these four old fellows not afraid of death?

Old Ghost Fu was the first to speak: "We are willing to become your running dogs, Young Master. Please take us in."

The reason they made this choice was not only because they wanted to know the secrets within that Secret Storehouse but also because they wanted to latch onto Shi Xuan as a powerful backer.

"Bah!"

Liang Yi spoke first: "You lot do not even look at what status you have. Notorious demonic cultivators, yet you dare try to climb up to my Master."

Upon hearing this, Shi Xuan showed no reaction and just quietly looked at the four people.

Old Ghost Fu said: "Young Master, being demonic cultivators in the past was a choice we did not have. Now that we have an opportunity, we just want to be good people."

"Hehe."

Shi Xuan chuckled: "Speaking of it this way, do you truly have a heart to change your ways?"

"That is natural. We hope Young Master can give us a chance." Old Ghost Fu said.

Shi Xuan smiled: "The opportunity is not absent. However, although this Seat is a top-tier Heavenly Mandate Great Villain, I am not the kind who kills innocents indiscriminately. If the sins of killing on your bodies are too heavy, you will die."

???

The people present all went dumbfounded upon hearing the five words "Heavenly Mandate Great Villain".

It was the first time they saw someone claim to be a villain, but no one dared to ask a single question.

Old Ghost Fu continued to ask: "I wonder what Young Master requires before he is willing to take us in?"

"If you can pass the Heart-Reflecting Mirror of Ask Dao City, you will have the qualification to become this Seat's followers."

Shi Xuan was the Imperial Grandson of the North Wasteland. In his view, anyone who could be used by him was a good subordinate. The premise was that their sins of killing could not be too heavy, and they had not sold their souls to Extraterritorial Heavenly Demons.

Hearing this, the four thought in their hearts: There is a chance.

They immediately bowed respectfully: "We are willing to give it a try."

"Let's go."

Shi Xuan spoke and then left on his sword.

"As you command."

The Four Ghosts of Southern Mountain responded and then hurriedly followed Shi Xuan's pace.

Jin Xi looked at Shi Xuan's receding back and murmured: "I wonder when Ask Dao Academy produced such a genius who is both righteous and evil?"
