Villain: Capture The Loli Sword Spirit At The Beginning

"It is indeed a very bold idea," Xiao Feng neither agreed nor disagreed, "but I am actually quite curious, what is your current situation?"

"Which aspect are you referring to?"

"Your lifespan, how much longer can you live?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the already cold atmosphere froze.

The old palace master accidentally exerted force on his hand, causing the paintbrush to tear through the paper, and the two torn pieces of paper fell to the ground.

Terrifying spiritual power surrounded the old palace master, and at this moment, he no longer seemed like an old man who only knew calligraphy and painting. He finally had the aura of the palace master of the Ten Thousand Realms Palace.

Xiao Feng seemed to have not noticed this change in the old palace master, still sitting calmly beside him, his expression unchanged as he looked at the old palace master, eagerly awaiting his answer.

Yue Mingxi couldn't help but grip the corner of her clothes, worried that they would start fighting later.

However, after gripping it for a while, the terrifying aura around the old palace master disappeared instead.

The old palace master seemed to have turned back into the old man who only knew how to paint.

"How did you figure it out?"

"From the moment you returned and wanted to choose a new palace master, I had some guesses. You were too anxious."

The immortal realm was paying attention to this matter, and they were all very puzzled by it.

Choosing a successor was a normal thing, but for the old palace master to be so anxious and flustered about it was very abnormal.

After all, the old palace master was a strong cultivator in the Dao Realm!

To be so anxious, could it be that he couldn't survive?

But as Xiao Feng and the old palace master interacted, he gradually suspected that the old palace master might really not be able to survive.

Xiao Feng's words made the old palace master silent for a moment, then he burst into laughter.

"My time is short!" After answering Xiao Feng's question, the old palace master laughed, "Do you know why I vetoed your initial proposal?"

"I would like to hear the details."

The old palace master waved his hand and collected the torn pieces of paper from the ground, his expression showing a hint of helplessness.

"I, this old man, am actually a mediocre person. It's just that my talent for cultivation is not bad, so I stood out among others and became the palace master of the Ten Thousand Realms Palace. Back then, my abilities were really terrible, but many people thought that I, this old man, would gradually grow, even I myself thought so."

"But after all these years, many of my old friends in the palace have died. My abilities are still as terrible as ever, and I realized that some mediocre people, they can't grow. It's just that in this world, strength is more important than ability. I managed to secure the position of the palace master and allowed the Ten Thousand Realms Palace to continue expanding steadily."

"My ability to cultivate talents is also very average. Both Bi Jian and Qing Xue have similar qualities, and I have no confidence in cultivating them into what I want."

"The young girl's suggestion is also very good. It's just that I don't have much time left, and I don't have time to slowly cultivate someone with outstanding talent. And if I were to personally cultivate the younger generation, they might end up being ruined by me."

After the old palace master finished speaking, his face was filled with helplessness.

He really didn't have much confidence in his own abilities.

Don't be fooled by the flourishing state of the Ten Thousand Realms Palace under his management.

That's purely because he is too strong.

It really has nothing to do with his own abilities.

"Actually, I have a good idea."

"What is it?"

"You should become the palace master."

"What?!"

The same words, completely different tones.

Xiao Feng widened his eyes.

He did have some desire for the position of the palace master of the Ten Thousand Realms Palace.

But he didn't want to become the palace master himself, he just wanted to help Yue Mingxi fight for it.

He was used to being free and unrestrained, how could he become the palace master of the Ten Thousand Realms Palace?

There would be so many things and so many responsibilities...

Even Yue Mingxi couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes.

"What's wrong? Don't like the Ten Thousand Realms Palace?"

"I have no such intention, it's just that I am used to being free and unrestrained. You know this too."

Xiao Feng said helplessly, reminding the old palace master of their previous conversation.

This kid indeed has a carefree personality and dislikes being restrained.

Putting responsibilities on him is like asking for his life.

His eyes shifted and looked at Yue Mingxi again.

"I... I..."

The plan they had agreed upon was to make Yue Mingxi the palace master of the Wanjie Palace, giving them the capital to counter the Spirit Clan and the Qingtian Divine Dynasty.

But when the old palace master looked at her like this, she couldn't help but panic.

"I quite like this girl. She's suitable to be the palace master of my Wanjie Palace."

The old palace master smiled at Xiao Feng.

Although they had only spent a short time together, the old palace master felt that these two were a perfect match.

If Yue Mingxi became the palace master of the Wanjie Palace, would Xiao Feng not help?

Xiao Feng opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't find the words.

Although this outcome was exactly what he had planned, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.

There was even a hint of dreaminess and unreality.

Is this enough to complete the mission?

"Aren't you worried... that we have ulterior motives?"

Xiao Feng finally couldn't help but ask.

His initial intention was for Yue Mingxi to become the palace master of the Wanjie Palace through fair competition.

Now, being directly appointed like this felt like cheating.

"Hahaha, even though I'm not capable, I'm confident in my ability to judge people. There's a strong righteousness in you, kid! Although you definitely have ulterior motives, your true heart is not bad."

The old palace master laughed heartily as he looked at Xiao Feng.

This statement made Xiao Feng feel a little embarrassed.

"What do you think, little girl?"

"But, but..."

Yue Mingxi was still in a daze.

"Then it's settled."

The old palace master thought these two young people were quite amusing.

Then, he took out a jade slip.

"What is this..."

"This jade slip, let the little girl keep it. If the two of you find yourselves in a desperate situation, you can open this jade slip. Remember, it can only be opened when the two of you are together. Otherwise..."

"Understood."

Yue Mingxi respectfully took the jade slip and put it away.

The old palace master nodded in satisfaction.

"Now, it's time to deal with some small flies."

The old palace master stood up and waved his hand, causing the surrounding scenery to instantly disappear.

The wheat fields around them turned into desolate land, and the clear blue sky instantly became gloomy.

Countless armies surrounded the three of them.

"Oh? We thought we had to wait for you to break the formation before you would come out, but we didn't expect you to come out on your own so soon."

Under the raging wind, a man wearing a red cloak sneered. He wore a golden dragon robe, and a hint of disdain appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The faces of Yue Mingxi and Xiao Feng gradually became serious.

But the old palace master's face showed a faint smile.

"Leaving the Immortal Domain for a while, it seems that anyone dares to make a move against me."

His hunched figure gradually straightened, the wrinkles on his face disappeared, and a long-handled knife appeared in his hand, mercilessly pointing at the army in front of him.
