Father and Son Conversation

Seeing the expectant look on the face of the young master of the Sword Pavilion, Xiao Yun sneered inwardly. Want me to guide you? Aren't you just courting death? Fine, I'll grant your wish.

"Good child, we are destined to meet. I happen to be staying in Sword Pavilion for a few days, so I'll give you some pointers while I'm at it," Xiao Yun then said.

The young master of the Sword Pavilion was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly continued to pour tea for Xiao Yun, acting like a lackey.

Lei Zhan, who was standing next to him, was also quite pleased. With Xiao Yun's guidance, his son's advancement to the peak of the Great Saint realm was assured.

Perhaps he'll have a chance to become a quasi-emperor in the future.

"Little Lei Zhan, when are you going to teach Jun Shentong a lesson?" Xiao Yun asked, looking at Lei Zhan opposite him.

Upon hearing this, the young master of the Sword Pavilion was taken aback and looked at his father in confusion. Why was Jun Shentong being reprimanded? The Jun family had no enmity with their Sword Pavilion, so why was he being punished?

Lei Zhan ignored the Sword Pavilion's young master's puzzled expression. Upon hearing this, he quickly said to Xiao Yun, "Senior, our Sword Pavilion was recently destroyed by a demon and has only just been rebuilt. I am currently searching for this demon, so I am not in a hurry to teach Jun Shentong a lesson. However, please rest assured, Senior, I am ready to go to the Jun family at any time."

Xiao Yun not only gave him an imperial weapon, but now he has also given his son the true spirits of the ten strongest divine beasts, and even instructed his son that if he does not fulfill his promise, it would be somewhat shameless.

"Oh, I see. But there's no rush. I also need to give your son some pointers for a few days. We can go together then," Xiao Yun said calmly.

He knew that the demon Lei Zhan mentioned was his clone, Dugu Qiubai. Now that Dugu Qiubai was in the Chaos Holy Land, Lei Zhan was destined not to find him.

Lei Zhan nodded and smiled, "With a senior like you backing me up, I have even less reason to take Jun Shentong seriously."

Having achieved his goal, Xiao Yun began discussing swordsmanship with Lei Zhan.

In the past, he wouldn't have been qualified to spar with Lei Zhan in swordsmanship, but now he's different.

Now, Xiao Yun is not only powerful enough to reach the peak of the Great Saint realm, but he also went to the ancient era and learned many powerful sword techniques, including the Chu Emperor's research on swordsmanship and the Sword Venerable's inheritance.

With the inheritance of these human ancestors, Xiao Yun naturally surpassed Lei Zhan, the strongest sword saint, in terms of vision and perspective.

Therefore, Xiao Yun's occasional remarks amazed Lei Zhan, who felt that the invincible senior in front of him had reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship.

However, considering that even this senior figure in front of me ultimately failed to attain enlightenment.

Lei Zhan felt a pang of worry: would he be able to successfully attain enlightenment?

After discussing the Dao with Xiao Yun, Lei Zhan had the young master of the Sword Pavilion take Xiao Yun to rest. He himself sat in the palace, recalling the discussion and pondering it carefully.

Not long after, the young master of the Sword Pavilion re-entered the palace.

"Father!"

Looking at Lei Zhan, who was deep in thought, the young master of the Sword Pavilion said in a low voice, "Father, why are you going to cause trouble for the Jun family? We don't seem to have any grudge against them!"

"This is something I promised Dugu Wudi. Back then, Jun Kuangren of the Jun family destroyed the Dugu family's stronghold. At that time, Senior Dugu Wudi was in seclusion. By the time he came out of seclusion, Jun Kuangren was already dead. So he prepared to take the Emperor Sword from the top of Sword God Mountain to seek revenge on the Jun family."

Lei Zhan looked at his son and said calmly, "I just happened to be on my way to the top of Sword God Mountain, and Senior Dugu Wudi gave me that Emperor Sword on the condition that I teach Jun Shentong a lesson."

After hearing this, the young master of the Sword Pavilion suddenly realized why his father had inexplicably gone to cause trouble for the Jun family.

"Father, I still find it a bit strange. Isn't this Senior Dugu Wudi too kind? Not only did he give us an imperial weapon, but he also gave us the true spirits of ten powerful divine beasts." The young master of the Sword Pavilion said with some doubt.

Lei Zhan laughed upon hearing this, "In our opinion, this is indeed very abnormal. Who in their right mind would give away an imperial weapon?"

The young master of the Sword Pavilion nodded. Only an idiot would give away an imperial weapon. Even if Dugu Wudi was about to die and didn't need it, he could leave it to the Dugu family. He wasn't alone.

"You and I are thinking like normal people, but you've forgotten that the Dugu family isn't a normal group at all," Lei Zhan laughed.

The young master of the Sword Pavilion was taken aback upon hearing this.

Lei Zhan continued, "Do you still remember Dugu Jian from back then? How amazing was his talent? He swept across the world's young geniuses, invincible among the younger generation. At that time, many forces came to curry favor with him, and many holy lands wanted to recruit him into their ranks."

"And yet, he went straight to challenge the demon race without even bringing a protector. Wasn't that just suicide?"

"I witnessed that battle with my own eyes. There were many saints and great saints watching the battle nearby, but none of them went to save him."

"If Dugu Jian had only befriended some powerful forces or joined some holy land back then, how could he have possibly died at the hands of the demon race?"

……

Hearing his father mention Dugu Jian, the young master of the Sword Pavilion naturally knew about him, after all, he was also a person of that era and had once been defeated by Dugu Jian.

He tried to curry favor with Dugu Jian back then, but this guy only had the sword in his heart and didn't make friends with anyone.

Simply put, it means emotional intelligence is 0.

"And then there's that Dugu Baitian. You've met him too. He was easily fooled by Dugu Qiubai and started to acknowledge Dugu Qiubai as his uncle," Lei Zhan said.

The young master of the Sword Pavilion asked in astonishment, "Isn't Dugu Qiubai the same person as Uncle Dugu Baitian?"

Lei Zhan shook his head and sneered, "I already inquired with Senior Dugu Wudi before. Their Dugu family doesn't have a person named Dugu Qiubai at all. Moreover, their Dugu family has already found out that Dugu Qiubai obtained the inheritance of the Dugu Sword in the Battle of Ten Thousand Demons, which is why he has some of the Dugu family's swordsmanship."

"What the hell—" The young master of the Sword Pavilion was dumbfounded upon hearing this. That big fool, Dugu Baitian, was actually deceived by someone like that.

Lei Zhan continued, "There's something else I only found out about recently when I secretly went to the Dugu family."

Lei Zhan's voice was low as he said to the young master of the Sword Pavilion, "I've noticed that members of the Dugu family fall from great heights every day. They say it's because they're trying to comprehend profound mysteries."

"What? Comprehend the profound mysteries?" Upon hearing this, the young master of the Sword Pavilion felt his worldview completely shattered.

To comprehend profound truths by falling from a great height?

What kind of operation is this?

Am I falling behind? Or has the world become so crazy?

"Therefore, we cannot use normal people's thinking to deal with the Dugu family. This family is only focused on the way of the sword."

Lei Zhan smiled and shook his head, saying, "Perhaps in their eyes, there's no difference between an Emperor Weapon and an ordinary weapon. If it were a Sword Dao Emperor Scripture, they would care."

The young master of the Sword Pavilion no longer doubted that these people from the Dugu family were either fools or madmen, so it was no wonder they would do some unexpected things.
