Villain: Capture The Loli Sword Spirit At The Beginning

Gu Lingxiao's plan is actually quite simple.

After meeting Lin Yuan, he knew that there was nothing about an old man in Lin Yuan's pendant.

But there was a guardian set up by a powerful expert.

Without getting it in his hands, Gu Lingxiao couldn't see through it either.

But he could basically determine that Lin Yuan's parents were not completely dead.

Most likely, they were trapped somewhere because of something and had to wait for Lin Yuan to become powerful before rescuing them.

What Gu Lingxiao had to do was to appear as a mysterious informant and set up a trap for him.

If Gu Lingxiao guessed wrong and Lin Yuan's parents were really dead, it didn't matter.

He had confidence in weaving a lie that Lin Yuan couldn't see through.

And he also added a small trick to Lin Yuan's Ghostly Purple Fire.

Perhaps Lin Yuan would only be able to see some clues when he reached the Holy Realm or even the Dao Realm.

But by then, it would be too late.

...

On the other side, Bai Churou also hurriedly arrived at Tianhuo City.

From what Gu Lingxiao said at the Bai family, he definitely had intentions towards Lin Yuan.

Although she didn't reveal any information about Lin Yuan to Gu Lingxiao.

As a member of the Bai family, she knew how powerful the Gu family was.

They could definitely find Lin Yuan!

"Lin Yuan, if Gu Lingxiao finds you, make sure to avoid him!"

"Don't have any contact with Gu Lingxiao!"

"Let's talk about everything when I arrive!"

Bai Churou kept transmitting her voice to Lin Yuan, she was genuinely worried about his safety.

Although Lin Yuan was an exceptional talent, so was Gu Lingxiao.

Under the circumstances of Gu Lingxiao's background overshadowing Lin Yuan, killing him would be as simple as crushing an insect.

But her voice transmission seemed to have disappeared without a trace, without any response.

This made her even more anxious.

Could something really have happened?

At this moment, Lin Yuan had just finished absorbing the insights of the Fire Dao given by Gu Lingxiao, and was absorbing the dozen or so clusters of Heavenly Fire and Ghostly Purple Fire given by Gu Lingxiao.

The dozen or so flames, each with a different temperament, entered Lin Yuan's body, and after he activated the Great Dao Divine Fire Technique, they surprisingly didn't clash with each other, but peacefully coexisted.

The Dao Burial Heavenly Heart Flame at the center of his body kept burning, coordinating with his spiritual power as it circulated within his body.

Lin Yuan felt a buzzing in his head and ears, and his cultivation realm suddenly soared.

With the support of a large amount of Heavenly Fire and Ghostly Purple Fire, he smoothly stepped into the realm of the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Emperor.

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Gu Lingxiao and the others, he would have been considered one of the top talents in the Immortal Domain.

After he finished cultivating, he also received Bai Churou's voice transmission.

After listening to what Bai Churou said, Lin Yuan's brows furrowed.

Avoid contact with Gu Lingxiao?

So that young master Gu mentioned earlier was the rumored Gu Lingxiao...

He hadn't thought about it at the time.

Because Gu Lingxiao is now recognized as the strongest among the younger generation in the entire Immortal Domain.

He never expected that he would have any connection with Gu Lingxiao.

But now Bai Churou was telling him not to have any contact with Gu Lingxiao?

Could it be...

He remembered what Gu Lingxiao had said to him.

Coincidence, it could be carefully designed.

His encounter with Bai Churou was a coincidence.

It happened during an event in the Great Wei Divine Dynasty.

At that time, the Great Wei Divine Dynasty opened the Canglong Ruins, inviting young talents from the Immortal Domain to enter the ruins and help them find the Canglong Seal.

Except for the Canglong Seal, all the treasures obtained would belong to the explorers.

Both of them entered the Canglong Ruins at the same time and traveled together within.

They found that they got along very well, so they continued to travel together after leaving the Azure Dragon Ruins.

Could this meeting have been carefully planned?

Lin Yuan carefully considered and felt that this possibility existed.

However, he didn't completely believe Gu Lingxiao's words and decided to remain cautious of both of them.

Just then, a maid's voice came from the door.

"Master Lin, it seems like you've stopped cultivating. There's a young lady outside who wants to see you..."

"Let her in."

Lin Yuan didn't expect Bai Churou to have found this place already.

But it wasn't surprising, because he had told Bai Churou about his whereabouts.

"Sorry, Churou. I just bought a lot of Heavenly Fire at the auction and was eager to cultivate, so I didn't receive your message."

Seeing Bai Churou enter, Lin Yuan hid his thoughts from earlier.

"It's okay, there's no rush for this. Gu Lingxiao hasn't come to you, right?"

Bai Churou anxiously looked at Lin Yuan.

Seeing her anxious appearance, Lin Yuan reluctantly shook his head.

"That's good."

Bai Churou breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why did this Gu Lingxiao come looking for me?"

Lin Yuan was puzzled.

"He..."

Bai Churou hadn't thought of a good excuse.

She didn't want to reveal her family background to Lin Yuan for the time being.

Going home to get the Xuanfeng Lixinyan was just an excuse.

"Hmm?" Lin Yuan looked at Bai Churou with suspicion. "I have no grudges with him, so he shouldn't be targeting me, right?"

"I have some grievances with him, but he hasn't retaliated against me." Bai Churou came up with a reason. "So I'm worried that he might go after you."

"I see."

Lin Yuan nodded and didn't continue to ask.

But that didn't mean he believed Bai Churou.

He felt that although Bai Churou had decent strength, there was still a big gap between her and Gu Lingxiao.

They shouldn't have had any chance to interact, so how could they have grievances?

But it wasn't appropriate to ask more questions now.

"By the way, Lin Yuan, this time I obtained a divine fire while handling some matters."

"Divine fire?"

"Divine Fire Ranking 25, Xuanfeng Lixinyan."

The news of Xuanfeng Lixinyan being in the hands of the Bai family was very secretive.

Although Bai Churou didn't know how Gu Lingxiao found out, Lin Yuan definitely wouldn't have access to this information.

So Bai Churou wasn't worried that Lin Yuan would find out about her family background through this.

"To be able to obtain such a divine fire!" Lin Yuan was pleasantly surprised. "How did you obtain it, Churou?"

"Well... it's a secret." Bai Churou smiled mischievously. "Everyone has their own secrets. Just know that I won't harm you."

Lin Yuan's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't show any signs of surprise on the surface. Instead, he smiled and nodded.

Regardless of whether Gu Lingxiao or Bai Churou had ill intentions towards him, he would first take advantage of the benefits they offered.

If they wanted to find out about his parents, he would handle it slowly.

In any case, they shouldn't expect to find his parents through him!

Not only that, but he also wanted to use these two people to gather as much information as possible about his parents.

"Well, thank you. I'll refine it now."

"Okay." Bai Churou nodded and was about to close the door and leave when she unexpectedly noticed that Lin Yuan's cultivation had also reached the peak of the Heavenly Emperor Realm. "Didn't you just recently break through to the late stage of the Heavenly Emperor Realm? How did you advance to the peak so quickly?"

"I had some fortuitous encounters during the time you were away."

Lin Yuan explained with a smile, without revealing Gu Lingxiao's involvement.

"I see."

Bai Churou was puzzled and couldn't understand what kind of fortuitous encounters could lead to such a significant advancement for Lin Yuan.

But she didn't think that Lin Yuan would hide anything from her, so she nodded and left the private room.
