Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect

Tie Dan naturally wouldn’t explain much, nor did he care about leaving a reputation for fighting and hitting birds. He entered the Elixir Residence, cupped his hands,

"Greetings, Leader."

Lingxu still maintained the appearance of a model Immortal, sitting by the furnace, waving his horsetail whisk, and fanning the flames. Seeing Tie Dan enter uninvited, he merely smiled slightly, casually pushing a cushion over,

"True Lord of the Mysterious Heaven, when did you come down from the mountain?"

Tie Dan didn’t beat around the bush and sat on the cushion, staring at him as if a fast sword was piercing through,

"I was in meditation when my thoughts suddenly fluctuated, seemingly gaining some insight, so I’ve come specifically to tell the Daoist Lord and discuss it together."

Lingxu nodded with a smile,

"Please, let’s discuss the Dao."

Then Tie Dan said,

"Shenxiao Great Master Xuan Du has sixty years left before Harmonization."

Lingxu smiled but did not answer.

Tie Dan stared at him,

"At that time, no one can suppress Taiyin and the Second Void; stars will fall, and the moon will appear, with all demons emerging. Is this within your calculations as well?"

Lingxu stroked his beard and smiled, calculating with his fingers, pretending,

"Not far off."

Tie Dan showed a look of doubt,

"Aren’t you afraid of a world turmoil caused by demons, disrupting this critical matter? Why, is the Third Void really progressing rapidly, ready to take off in just sixty years?"

Lingxu chuckled,

"Taking off is unlikely; sixty years’ time would merely run a trial operation, as calculated.

If by then even Taiyin and the Second Void can’t withstand it, there’s no hope of crossing the Outer Heaven."

Tie Dan thought for a moment,

"No, having such an elder at home is like a treasure, even if the Great Mage is worshipped, it can suppress many trifles, why watch as he goes to Harmonization? Unless...

He actually disagrees with your plans to ascend to the Void? Hence, he must be eliminated?"

This time, Lingxu was genuinely surprised,

"You even managed to predict the Great Mage’s intentions? Truly, being apart for sixty days deserves a fresh look, True Monarch Xuantian’s calculation skills have improved rapidly, achieving not insignificantly."

Tie Dan snorted coldly,

"Stop flattering me, what’s next, after handling Sword Sect, are you preparing to deal with Hu Temple?"

Lingxu laughed out loud,

"Hu Temple? That’s ancient history from years ago, who calculates so clearly nowadays..."

Tie Dan, seeing him not speaking the truth, got up to leave.

Lingxu quickly said,

"Alright, alright, you’ve guessed it all.

Yes, a snake can’t be headless; we must indeed have a contest with Hu Temple, fight for precedence, and determine victory or defeat, to properly assign positions on the Third Void."

Tie Dan snorted coldly,

"Humph, so it’s all about grabbing positions again."

Lingxu smiled,

"Why bother, young friend? Anyway, you’ve already brought out Cloud Platform Peak, no matter what, you have a seat.

After all, you won’t lose. It might be better to stay settled in the mountains, honing your sword skills.

The treasure sword’s blade emerges from sharpening, and the Tian Gang Daoist Collection is enough for you to ponder over, so why meddle in this calamity?"

Tie Dan looked at him,

"Don’t you fear the might of Hu Temple, worried they’ll annihilate you all like they did Jiuxiao in one night?"

Lingxu blinked,

"Hu Temple aside, how come you’re involved with Jiuxiao’s teachings? This connection isn’t very favorable..."

"Humph, none of my business. Just asking casually."

Tie Dan didn’t want to waste the chance to ask, thinking it over,

"Which side is Old Immortal Nanhua on?"

Lingxu’s smile froze.

"Nanhua?"

Tie Dan noted his strange expression, eyes filled with suspicion,

"What, isn’t he your friend?"

Lingxu paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded,

"Indeed, he is my friend."

Tie Dan became more suspicious, but that’s his nature, asking if he didn’t understand, unable to hide anything,

"Then what’s the meaning of Yellow Heaven Path created by your friend? Will he fall into demonic? What kind of magic is this? Must he be killed?"

At this point, Lingxu couldn’t manage his expressions anymore, his demeanor momentarily dazed,

"No... is this also something you can predict?"

Tie Dan was straightforward,

"Just consider it a dream. If it’s nothing more than whimsical thinking, then forget it, but if not, it seems that everything I dream of may have significance.

It’s best to explain it to me clearly, otherwise, I’ll investigate each matter one by one, and if I disrupt someone’s calculations, it won’t look good on everyone’s face."

Lingxu suddenly recovered his expression, resembling a clay statue, half smiling, half not, sitting stiffly for a long time.

Just when Tie Dan thought the other party had made up his mind to confront him with life and death, Lingxu slowly opened his mouth.

"Since True Monarch insists on asking clearly, to verify, why come to me?

Why, do you think I’m the mastermind behind everything, trying to catch me off guard and expose some weaknesses?

If that’s really the case, you’re certainly underestimating my Lingxu’s Daoist capabilities.

Who’s behind it, who’s had you come to ask me?"

Tie Dan shook his head,

"No one dispatched me, I came to ask you first, simply because I consider you a friend."

Lingxu sneered,

"Friend? Humph, True Monarch must be joking, I just borrowed a sword from you to eliminate a major problem, and it became a friendship?

How come now you’ve had a bad dream, without even a single person to talk to around you, you’ve come to me for a chat!?"

Tie Dan, "..."

Lingxu remained frozen,

"You really came for a chat!"

Tie Dan shrugged, didn’t speak.

There was nothing to be said, after all, most of his friends were dead.

Even as the dignified Mystic Sect Leader, Lingxu found it hard to bear this sincere young friend’s company, somewhat headache-inducing. Finally, he only sighed,

"Forget it, I can’t imagine anyone would be able to order you. Besides, this matter indeed doesn’t concern you, sharing it is not impossible, but starting from the beginning seems a bit verbose."

Tie Dan signaled to proceed, anyway it wouldn’t take sixty years.

Lingxu carefully considered his words, finding a key entry point,

"Do you know why Hu Temple is called Hu Temple?"

Tie Dan,

"Is it because of the Tiger Talisman?"

Lingxu was stunned,

"Ah? How do you know?"

Tie Dan spread his hands,

"Then tell me something I don’t know."

Lingxu showed signs of doubt,

"Do you know what is guarded in Hu Temple..."

Tie Dan,

"The Insect Queen."

Lingxu lost his temper,

"Did you come all this way just to make fun of me?"

Tie Dan had to bring him back,

"Alright, alright, you say it."

Seeing this young man wouldn’t let him go, Lingxu had no choice but to offer up something big, guaranteed unknown to him.

"I was originally a disciple of Thunder Ancestor."
