These two, Ling Hun, was even more extreme in nature: he had few friends, whereas Cui Wugu was softer in temperament. She had dealings with many from the Righteous Path, was particularly close with the half-aged nun, had a good relationship with the Emei Sect, and held great respect for several Divine Nuns from the Buddhist sects. Most importantly, Master Fen Tuo of the Xuanyuan Holy Mausoleum intended to give it to Yang Jin. In her past life, Yang Jin was Ling Xuehong, Ling Hun's own younger sister, her little aunt.

Ling Hun and Cui Wugu, Bai Guyi and Ling Xuehong, the relationships among these four were not only familial but also exceedingly complex. Ling Hun had the worst relationship with Bai Guyi. The two often engaged in verbal spats and even came to swordfights. Ling Xuehong, caught in the middle, sometimes sided with her brother, sometimes with her husband. Eventually, she leaned more towards her husband, even reaching a point where she verbally combated her brother alongside her husband.

Initially, Cui Wugu would try to stop the men from fighting alongside Ling Xuehong, but later she found herself alone, trying to stop the three from their conflicts, truly at her wits' end.

Ling Hun was a man who didn't value kinship at all. He could even ruthlessly abandon his own daughter. Lin Luhua, originally named Ling Luhua, was kicked out of the house by him in her previous life, and in this life, the relationship was completely severed.

After Ling Xuehong reincarnated as Yang Jin, there was no contact either…

Cui Wugu was still looking for excuses, "They just don't want Shi Daoist to get the Holy Mausoleum's treasures."

Ling Hun snorted through his nose, "We are all descendants of Yan and Huang; who isn't allowed to take the treasures of the Holy Mausoleum? Emperor Xuanyuan didn't designate an heir. Why can't Shi Daoist take them? Must they be given to them exclusively?"

Cui Wugu's face showed difficulty, "It should be because Shi Daoist practices magic... I've also heard that he previously cleansed the four evils on the border mountains in Xiangxi, killing tens of thousands, almost falling into the Demon Path…"

Ling Hun let out a cold laugh, "Those border mountain four evils are the real demons! Those demon spawn, if I encounter them, I show no mercy, and execute them all with my sword. Zhu Ying and the others, if they dared to commit evil in front of me, I wouldn't spare them either! Killing such a bunch of monsters and ghosts, how is that demonic? In my opinion, that's more like the actions of a Buddha!"

Listening to his irrefutable argument, Cui Wugu reluctantly smiled, "How can one be considered a Buddha after slaughtering tens of thousands of living beings in an instant and seizing their Life Souls? Not all those people could've been evil. Even if some committed evil deeds, we, the followers of the Righteous Path, can't just recklessly kill. Surely, there must be those whose crimes don't merit death. And for those whose evil deeds are few or who were coerced into doing wrong, if they can repent and mend their ways, they deserve a chance. In this world, even those on the Demon Path wouldn't dare to kill so many; aren't you afraid of Heavenly Tribulation and Punishment?"

Ling Hun thought for a moment, "Shi Daoist must have his reasons for acting this way. We, the Sword Immortals... Hmm, do you remember before we met the Immortal Master, when we roamed Jianghu, wielding our swords and taking on injustices, dealing with bullies, and reveling in gratitude and grudges? After we started cultivating immortality, we became so cautious with our actions!"

Cui Wugu said, "Do you think Shi Daoist was revelling in gratitude and grudges when he killed those people? If that was the case, he could simply take their lives. Why go to the extent of collecting their souls?"

Ling Hun waved his hand dismissively, "You don't understand the depth of Shi Daoist's enlightenment, beyond our speculation. Not to mention anything else, just the fact that he used the Nine Heavens Yuan Yang Great Technique to meet with us from thousands of miles away, all while shielding Heaven's Secret to prevent those people from detecting us... Just that Divine Skill alone surpasses you and me by far! You can't help but admire that. If you tell me others might fall into the Demon Path, I might believe it,

but to say he would become demonized is absolutely impossible. Between heaven and earth, including all the Heavenly realms, there isn't a demon born yet that could lead him to the Demon Path! Just look at the present, Shi Daoist has occupied Qiao Mountain, claiming it's to construct and guard the tomb for the Yellow Emperor. Having taken that place, who has any right to criticize him? Those people are really something, so timorous and indecisive; it's truly contemptible!"

Back then, he took out the upper scroll of the Heavenly Book, attempting to exchange it with Shi Feiyang for the lower scroll. Shi Feiyang outright brought out the middle scroll to share with him, even sharing many insights and achievements, which profoundly moved Ling Hun. He would often reminisce about it. That middle scroll of the Heavenly Book was in the hands of the two elders of Song Mountain, and given his relationship with Bai Guyi, he had no way to exchange it for a look. The situation was too complex; even his own relatives were less approachable than strangers.

Ling Hun admired not only Shi Feiyang's magnanimity but also his understanding of Daoist Techniques. Thus, over the years, whenever Shi Feiyang had any issues, he would subconsciously stand on Shi Feiyang's side. If there was ever a way to help without Shi Feiyang asking, he would take the initiative to lend a hand, never seeking credit or mention of his assistance afterwards.

Cui Wugu sighed once more, "Both sides have a higher Dao Level than us; we can't speculate. We don't know what they plan to do, and we don't need to. Let's just mind our own business."

Ling Hun nodded, "You're right, first let's take care of those scoundrels outside!"

He stood up and looked outside, his eyes revealing a sharp murderous intent...

Because of Shi Feiyang's arrival, his flesh had not been destroyed by Bai Guyi, leaving him to become a beggar and lose his vigor, wandering the Human World in the filthy, smelly, and ugly guise of a beggar.

At this moment, Ling Hun remained tall, handsome, and valiant, his Mana increasingly refined with each passing day, even more ruthless in his actions than the original story.

"If even one of them escapes today, the Snow Mountain Sect might as well take down its sign!"
