"It's a pity I can't escape this calamity to resolve it.

We brothers have guarded the border for sixty years, suppressing three thousand four hundred and sixty-four divine ghosts. I've calculated that recently, near Lingwu, there are eight Great Demons about to transform and ascend as demons.

Letting any of them break free and become a demon, entering the world, would lead to widespread destruction and scorched earth for thousands of miles. How can I leave and deal with the Blood Demon..."

Huangfu Yi was anxious,

"This... Immortal!"

"Stay calm."

The Daoist continued calculating, casually swiping his sleeve, a spirit wind wrapped around and sent a stream of True Qi to protect Huangfu Yi's body, assisting him in healing and Qi Replenishment,

"Your surname is Huangfu, and you are the son of the Beiting Protector. Are you a descendant of 'San Ming' from the Immortal Palace, Mr. Huangfu?"

"Duke Weiming is indeed my ancestor. Due to jealousy from treacherous eunuchs in the court, all my family's children were exiled to the edge of the world, driven to the North Pole to guard..."

After all, the surname is rare and the family's reputation is well-known, so Huangfu Yi nodded and confessed. This time he was indeed here to seek help from his ancestor.

This was also expected, so the Daoist took out a gold medal and handed it to Huangfu Yi,

"The General of the Western Expedition is the pillar of the nation, but now the Central Plains is in chaos, with heroes vying for supremacy, the Twelve Countries and powerful lords standing independently, attacking each other, causing widespread destruction, beyond what human power can recover.

The Nine Border Towns have long since rebelled and become independent, killing all the Capital Guard families. From south of Yin Mountain to north of Gen River, all have surrendered to the Stone Dragon.

If you cross the Ju River, remember to hide your identity on your way south, otherwise, you might be implicated by your family's name and fall into a calamity.

If evil demons and heretics trouble you, use this medal for protection; it might rely on a bit of Emei's reputation to shelter you from three deadly encounters."

Huangfu Yi looked at the gold medal inscribed with the word 'Emei', but he did not accept it. Instead, he bowed and thanked,

"Thank you, Immortal, for your kindness; I understand your good intentions. However, my entire family is in the Northern Land, and if the Blood Demon is not eradicated soon, they will be the first to suffer. How can I only think of my own life and escape alone?

I also have the ability to protect myself; since you have your duty, the peace of this area will rely on your guardianship, so I won't trouble you further. I will seek help from the Three Constellations, farewell."

"You do have some courage. It's a pity you're not destined for my path..."

The Emei Daoist saw that he didn't take the medal, but wasn't angry. Instead, he nodded with some appreciation,

"But I'm not telling you to selfishly survive; I'm directing you to find someone for assistance.

I have already calculated the roots of the Blood Demon. This wicked being is the reincarnation of the previous Wisdom Dharma King, who caused significant trouble back in the day. Even the Immortal Palace's hundred thousand Immortal Army couldn't capture him, and he fled to the North Pole.

Now, this beast has reincarnated and cultivated for sixty years, endured hardship, and with the rise of the demon calamity, has devoured countless ghosts and gods. I fear he has already mastered the Blood God's son's great method to perfection, empowered by Demon Light, establishing a vast sea of blood, making it extremely difficult to extinguish.

Even if my seven brothers arrived together, we probably couldn't handle him immediately. If he escapes again, the world's fortune will inevitably shift to the Demon Sect, and if the demons take advantage to invade the pass, the world might collapse.

Moreover, what ability do the Three Constellations have? Your ancestor likely won't abandon Jiangshan and Shiji to run to the North Pole with you. Simply finding one or two people, in such a critical situation, what else would it achieve but throwing lives away?"

Huangfu Yi was anxious,

"This, what can be done!"

"Snap!" With a crisp sound, in a moment of anxiety, Huangfu Yi exerted force, the spine of the iron sword in his hand already weakened by the fire talisman, now strained by monster power, shattered into pieces on the ground.

The Emei Daoist looked at the ground covered in shimmering fragments of the sword, momentarily lost in thought, and after a long time, let out a deep sigh,

"A treasure sword will eventually be drawn, and a divine edge requires a blood sacrifice. It seems that in this calamity, the living beings cannot escape...

No matter, there's no need to worry excessively. The affairs of this world follow the cycle of cause and effect, with retributions that never fail; everything is predestined.

The Blood Demon descended, causing widespread destruction, this kind of Heavenly Tribulation will naturally be resolved by Heaven. Those born to counteract this scourge have already appeared.

Hmph, it's just that this person has been secluded in the mountains for years, ignoring worldly matters. But since you received this sword technique's true transmission, you are somewhat destined with them.

You should head to the Nine Yin Mountain to seek the path, ask him to come out and exterminate the demon."

Upon hearing that even an Immortal who has suppressed three thousand demons must invite this person to deal with the Blood Demon, Huangfu Yi couldn't help but be curious,

"But who is this Demon-Slaying Immortal Monarch, what is their Taoist name, and where is their Immortal Mountain? Please, Immortal, guide me out of this confusion."

The Emei Daoist calculated with his fingers and chanted,

"Sword buried in the Cold Pond, gathering divine prowess secretly honing the blade with mountain spirit; Do not say there is no time in the mountain, where the blade passes, all tribulation turns to ashes."

Huangfu Yi didn't understand,

"This... can't the Immortal disclose clearly?"

The Emei Daoist shook his head, sighing,

"It's not that I refuse to point the way, but that person has some grievances with Emei, and they have an obstinate personality. If I say too much, I'm afraid he will realize I'm plotting and create confusion, delaying serious matters."

Huangfu Yi was momentarily speechless, but then the Emei Daoist suddenly laughed and said,

"Being within this mountain, the depths of the clouds are unknown; seeking immortals and the path is all about destiny.

Alright, if you speak of everything exhaustively, the fate will end prematurely.

Since you have this determination, go ahead and take it one step at a time, find it yourself. As long as you are destined, the day of meeting will surely come."
