The Prodigal Son of the Mystical Sect

The faint words fell in his ears, but they were full of arrogance and confidence, as if they were a declaration of victory.

Hearing the sound, Ku unconsciously stared at the deep red claw marks, with extremely complex emotions in his eyes.

Logically speaking, with the mind of a wise man, Ku would never fall to the ground and lose his composure like he did just now, but on the other hand, the pain that could make him lose his composure like that must be unimaginable for ordinary people...

"... I didn't expect that this attack could cross the two worlds and directly hurt me..."

Ku stood up slowly, put one hand on his heart, and after the magic light flashed for a while, his face looked a little better...

But this does not mean that the matter is over.

On the contrary...

"... It is indeed worthy of being the sword left by the master of Xuanmen, and it is indeed worthy of being the sword god style of Xuanmen... It will take a hundred years to recover from such an injury..."

"During this period, I can no longer perform the soul binding technique..."

Thinking of this, Ku slowly walked to the side of the chessboard.

If someone could look back and forth, they would find that the distribution of chess pieces on this chessboard is exactly the same as the game that Ku played against Chan during the night of the Forbidden City...

Looking at the chess piece that fell on the Tianyuan position, Ku's pupils shrank slightly...

With his wisdom, by now, he has naturally figured out some things...

At the beginning, almost all the powerful people thought that the reason why the Lord of Xuanmen did not retrieve his sword was because the Six Paths Sword was too severely damaged in the battle with that person, and it was impossible to repair it, so it was meaningless to retrieve it - of course, that meaning was for the Lord of Xuanmen himself, but it had different levels of meaning for the ancient clans and the demon clan...

But...

Now it seems.

The whole world guessed wrong.

The Six Paths Sword was indeed seriously damaged, but after years of nourishment, it could withstand such consumption temporarily, and it might even be fully restored in the future...

"...The Lord of Xuanmen left the sword for today, for the sword just now, in order to... not give me a chance to regret?" Ku stared at him. He knew that the Lord of Xuanmen could not have planned this situation so long ago, but more likely, he moved with the trend and changed with the world... But being able to do this was enough to make Ku deeply admire him.

"...It's been a long time since we met, but I have already been defeated by you." Ku muttered, but there was no frustration in his words, but he seemed quite calm.

"This game is really wonderful, but the key is not the person who planned it, but the person who executed it."

Recalling Chu Tianxiao's performance, Ku could hardly find any faults... his fighting spirit, experience, cunning tactics, and the courage to do it even though he knew it was difficult, and his determination to win the victory by himself rather than waiting for it to be given...

Of course, the most important thing is that he has the youthful passion of "I want to try".

This point can be said to be quite stupid, but it is the most missing and most missed point for these old people...

In Ku's eyes, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of appreciation.

He raised his head slightly: "Master of Xuanmen... I finally understand why you chose that boy as your successor... So that's it."

Subconsciously, he covered his chest, as if to remember the excruciating pain, or rather, he just wanted to remember the outline of that boy...

At this moment, he recalled a key event in the past...

That game of chess...

"Shui Menghan, Lin Yuxi, and Wen'er... Now it seems that your chess game may not be nonsense..."

After saying this softly, a strange black light appeared in Ku's eyes, and it was obvious that he was constantly thinking...

"...According to the current situation, Wen'er has taken the lead and has that 'advantage'... But this game will always be difficult to determine the winner until the last moment..."

"The most threatening person now is... the beauty who topped the list?"

With a slight movement in his mind, Ku shook his head slowly again.

"No, it's Lin Yuxi."

"The one who hasn't made a move yet is the most threatening."

After confirming his guess, Ku picked up the chess piece at Tianyuan with one hand, as if he wanted to put it down, but suddenly found that the chessboard was already clearly divided, and there was no piece to put down at all...

His right hand was also twitching slightly, as if to stop him from making a move.

After a pause, Ku finally sighed, and with a little effort in his right hand, he crushed the chess piece into powder, rubbed it, and it flew away with the wind.

Immediately, Ku's face showed a self-deprecating smile.

"I forgot..."

Thinking, Ku shook his head slowly, without looking at the chessboard again, and turned and left.

The game over there has nothing to do with him after all, and it is useless to worry about it.

On the contrary, this side...

Since he has decided to take the third path of marrying with Xuanmen to survive the disaster...

Ku knew that he needed to suppress some of the restless tribes in the demon world.

…

…

At the same time.

The sword light gradually faded.

In the endless darkness, the space everywhere cracked, and the black mountains in the distance were directly destroyed like dust...

Chu Tianxiao's figure was shuttling between them, trying to find a large enough space crack to escape from here - with Chu Tianxiao's current cultivation level above the fifth realm, this level of space crack is not difficult for him.

After all, this is just a small space.

At that moment, Chu Tianxiao jumped onto the falling black stone platforms one after another, and when he had enough vision, he spotted a bright spot and quickly shuttled over...

At this moment, the cold voice of the Great Prodigal System suddenly rang in his ears!

"Long-term continuous main line task IV: The prodigal son gathers the divine equipment and beats the little true son!"

"Task description: As the prodigal son's wealth grows, the true son of destiny who comes to attack will become more and more vicious! Relying on the main body's strength alone may not be enough... Therefore, now is the time to sacrifice the divine equipment and use the equipment to beat the attributes!"

"Completion reward: After obtaining any "divine equipment", this task can be settled and completed, and the reward at that time????"

"Ding... The judgment begins!"

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Six Paths Sword and becoming the Six Paths Sword Master... The judgment task has entered the branching stage. Next, please choose the route branch-"

After this voice fell, Chu Tianxiao was slightly stunned, but then he remembered-when he abused the useless Qin Yun, after the Autumn Night Banquet, the system also gave a similar branch option...

To put it bluntly, it is a choice between vested small interests and long-term big interests.

"Ding... The options have been generated."

"One: Choose to use the 'Six Paths Sword' as the core of the Divine Equipment Plan, and start the task process update and settlement."

"Two: Choose to give up the 'Six Paths Sword' as the core of the Divine Equipment Plan, and choose the Purple Lightning Armor or??? as the core."

"Three: Directly use the 'Broken Six Paths Sword' for system settlement and complete the main line IV."

"Warm reminder: The three choices will greatly affect the subsequent task process, please choose carefully."
