Villain: Capture The Loli Sword Spirit At The Beginning

"Okay." Yuan Xiner felt that this scene seemed familiar. "This monster may be from the same era as me!"

"From the same era as you?"

"Yes! This monster is called Xuyan..."

Yuan Xiner blurted out all the information she knew about Xuyan.

Gu Lingxiao glanced at the Xuyan beside him, unsurprised.

When he observed it earlier, he had already noticed the aura of the river of time flowing through Xuyan.

At that moment, he immediately thought of Yuan Xiner.

He didn't expect Yuan Xiner to become a monster-spawning point later on.

"This monster is indeed a big disaster for the Immortal Domain."

"If it's just Xuyan, it's fine. I'm mainly worried..."

"Worried that there will be more world-ending disasters from the future, arriving in this era ahead of time, right?"

"Yes."

"Don't worry. I will solve these problems."

Gu Lingxiao's words seemed to have a magical power, instantly calming Yuan Xiner.

The anxiety that arose from Xuyan's arrival also subsided.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Wait! There is."

"There is?"

"In the past few days..."

Yuan Xiner stopped halfway through her sentence because Gun Spirit Hongying started shouting frantically in her mind.

"Xiner! Are you going to tell him about that thing?"

"Yes..."

"No! Absolutely not!"

Yuan Xiner's hesitant behavior made Gu Lingxiao furrow his brows slightly.

Seeing this, Yuan Xiner immediately showed a hint of apology on her face.

She temporarily cut off the connection with Hongying and looked at Gu Lingxiao seriously.

"In the past few days, I have felt a summoning from the Holy Road."

"A summoning from the Holy Road?"

"Yes. When I first entered the Holy Road, I had a strange feeling. But I didn't think much of it at the time, until recently when I felt that it was a summoning from the Holy Road. It wants me to enter its depths."

"The depths of the Holy Road?"

Gu Lingxiao had never heard of the depths of the Holy Road before.

"I'm not sure. Because this kind of summoning is still a very vague sensation for now. But I'm also afraid."

"You also sense danger?"

"No. This fear is because when I first crossed over to this place, I relied on the power of the Holy Road. That Xuyan should have used some means to come here through me and the Holy Road."

Gu Lingxiao was somewhat surprised.

He knew that the Holy Road was a very magical place, capable of helping many people break through the limits of their aptitude and transcend from the Emperor Realm to the Saint Realm.

But he never knew that the Holy Road could also help others traverse through time and space.

"I'm worried that if I enter the depths of the Holy Road, the person who wants to destroy the world will follow me in. So I don't know whether I should enter or not. I want to ask Young Master Gu for advice. If Young Master Gu is willing, we can go together."

Yuan Xiner was gambling.

She was betting that the person who wanted to destroy the world would not follow.

She was betting that even if the person who wanted to destroy the world followed, the Gu family behind Gu Lingxiao would intervene to protect him.

She was betting that the Gu family would confront the person who wanted to destroy the world six million years in advance.

She didn't believe that the person who wanted to destroy the world, after crossing six million seven hundred thousand years, would still have the ability to defeat the Immortal Domain at this point in time.

"Okay. If you're ready to enter, you can contact me with this item."

Gu Lingxiao casually threw a jade talisman to Yuan Xiner.

"Okay. If that time comes, I will contact Young Master Gu. I hope Young Master Gu can help me more."

With Gu Lingxiao's agreement, Yuan Xiner's mood clearly improved.

She smiled at Gu Lingxiao, looking very lovely.

"Then... I'll go first. Goodbye, Young Master Gu."

After saying that, Yuan Xiner happily bounced away.

Watching Yuan Xiner disappear from his sight, Gu Lingxiao's face revealed a faint smile.

He gently raised his hand, and the lifeless body of the illusionary demon on the ground began to wriggle and crawl as if it had come back to life, like a flowing black water.

It didn't die.

"What a familiar aura."

His encounter with the illusionary demon was not a coincidence at all.

As soon as the illusionary demon arrived in this era, Gu Lingxiao sensed its presence.

Because besides the aura of the river of time, the illusionary demon also carried a faint power of destruction.

This aura of destruction made him feel particularly familiar.

"The person who will destroy the world..."

Gu Lingxiao murmured, the smile on his face growing even brighter.

The illusionary demon continued to jump and dance on the ground, seemingly very excited.

As Gu Lingxiao's figure disappeared, the illusionary demon also landed on the ground and flowed away into the distance.

...

On the other side, Yuan Xiner reestablished her connection with Hongying.

"What were you thinking, Yuan Xiner! You told Gu Lingxiao such an important matter like this?"

Hongying was truly angry.

She had reminded Yuan Xiner countless times to be careful of Gu Lingxiao.

But what about Yuan Xiner?

She dared to tell Gu Lingxiao such a big secret about Shenglu?

Did she completely trust Gu Lingxiao and let her guard down?

"Oh, I really did consider the bigger picture in this matter."

Yuan Xiner quickly explained her thoughts to Hongying.

Upon hearing this, Hongying was also taken aback.

"You mean... you think the person who will destroy the world will also come to Shenglu with you, and then attack Gu Lingxiao? And then the ancestors of the Gu family will confront the person who will destroy the world in order to protect Gu Lingxiao?"

"Yes."

"Do you... have any certainty?"

"Not much certainty. I just think that if the illusionary demon can come to Shenglu through the river of time, then the person who will destroy the world must be able to as well. So I want to take a gamble. If the person who will destroy the world doesn't come, then we can just give all the benefits in the depths of Shenglu to Young Master Gu."

"You..."

Hongying felt like she was getting to know Yuan Xiner all over again.

When did this girl become so bold?

"I feel... you kind of like Gu Lingxiao, don't you? Why?"

Hongying was puzzled.

"Who likes him! I... I don't..."

Yuan Xiner immediately denied it, but her cheeks involuntarily turned red.

"Wow, so you really do like him. Didn't you see Gu Lingxiao's robbery just now?"

"I saw it." Yuan Xiner muttered, "But they brought it upon themselves... That tiger was already annoying, and that bad monk too! Are they even worthy of being monks? The monks in our era were gentle and polite."

Jinguyuhu and Tianguang Shengzi pretended to fight and ambushed her.

Zongqing Fuzi wanted to steal her things.

Could she still have sympathy for these two?

"But the impression Gu Lingxiao gave me when he appeared in front of me just now... he was really handsome."

Yuan Xiner said with some longing.

For Yuan Xiner, Gu Lingxiao had already been her savior twice.

The first time was when she was lost after crossing over to this world.

She found Gu Lingxiao and felt much more relaxed after telling him about her situation.

The second time was just now.

In her moment of despair, Gu Lingxiao intervened and dealt with the illusionary demon, saving her.

No matter who it was, there would always be some inexplicable feelings towards a savior.

"...Alright, alright." Hongying knew she couldn't persuade this girl and gave up, but she became even more puzzled, "Then why did you bring him along? Aren't you afraid that the person who will destroy the world will attack?"

"Hehe! He has the Gu family backing him, so he won't die so easily." Yuan Xiner said with a smile, then her expression turned serious, "And... the bigger picture is more important."

"I have already considered the worst-case scenario."
