1288: Chapter 1248: The Hermit in the Mountains 1288: Chapter 1248: The Hermit in the Mountains Lu Chuan looked around and didn’t see a single person.

Obviously, there was no one here.

“Maybe that person went to do other things.

After all, it’s impossible for him to stay here all the time if he has nothing to do.”

“The person you saw, what does he look like?”

“An old man, looks like he’s in his sixties or seventies, amiable and kind-looking.”

“When I first met him, I was a bit scared and attacked him.

But as it turned out, with just a casual move, he subdued me, and then I stopped.”

“In short, that old man is very strong.”

“He has the aura of an immortal and seems like a good person.”

She said earnestly.

“Is that so?

Then why could he save you?

Did you see how?”

“We chatted, and I asked him about it.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “I see, I understand now.”

“Let’s wait here for a moment then.

He should arrive soon; this place looks like a temporary resting place.”

After waiting for a short while, they saw a figure walking towards them.

An old man carried a basket on his back filled with herbs he had picked.

He walked forward with the support of a walking stick and paused when he saw people in the pavilion.

He stroked his beard, looking curious.

Then he walked in.

Upon seeing someone approaching, Lu Chuan immediately stood up swiftly.

The old man walked in and his gaze quickly settled on Lu You.

“It’s you?

I had a brief encounter with you last year, and now I’ve met you again.”

The old man tilted his head, “But why have you turned into this?”

Lu You sighed with resignation and turned to Lu Chuan, “It’s his doing!”

“Then…

the two of you…?”

Lu Chuan hastily explained: “We were originally enemies, but after fighting, we temporarily teamed up.”

“Whatever has happened between you is none of my business; I’m about to leave.”

Lu You quickly called out, “Elder sir, please help me!

I am already a dead person; please save me this one time!

I am truly grateful and I will do anything for you!”

She shouted loudly.

The old man sighed helplessly and looked back, “Last time I met you, I could already tell you were a Demonic Cultivator.

Although I can see you didn’t become one willingly, it’s an established fact now.

You have blood on your hands.

If I save you, wouldn’t my virtues be scattered to the winds?”

“I promise I will only do good deeds from now on, no more bad deeds!”

Lu Chuan also said, “I will supervise her in the future.”

“Heh, you’re joking.

You supervise her?

I suspect you might be a Demonic Cultivator too!”

Lu Chuan’s eyes widened, “What?

I am a Demonic Cultivator?”

“The evil spirit energy in you is very strong; don’t think I can’t see it.

You’ve also tainted yourself with the souls of many!”

Lu Chuan laughed helplessly, “Elder sir, the fact that only you can detect this energy proves that your divine eyes are indeed extraordinary.”

“But it’s not because of me; it’s because of this weapon.”

Lu Chuan took out the Soul Terminating Sword.

The old man glanced at it and immediately his eyes widened.

“This…this is the Soul Terminating Sword!”

He looked at Lu Chuan with some surprise, “Being able to obtain this sword is proof enough that you are indeed no ordinary person!”

“I suppose so.

The one who entrusted me with this sword calls himself the Carefree Taoist Priest.”

“I know him.

He has been away for many years.

He was already quite old and wanted to find a place to spend the remaining days of his life.

I once asked him to whom he would pass on his mantle, and he told me he would pass it to no one.”

“Eventually, he still passed it on.

He probably had a change of heart, realizing that taking these things with him in death would be useless, so he decided to give them away.”

Lu Chuan nodded in agreement, “I see.

It seems that he truly recognized my worth.”

“Of course, it’s also possible that he was just about to die and simply handed it over to someone who seemed decent enough.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan continued to ask, “So he might be dead by now?”

“Very likely.

But since you’ve inherited his precious sword, that goes to show that you’re probably a good person.

At least compared to him, you’re definitely a good one!”

Lu Chuan scratched his head awkwardly, “Is this a compliment?”

“Of course, it is.

Since that’s the case, it’s no trouble at all for me to lend you a hand!”

He said cheerfully, stroking his beard as he walked in.

Lu You looked at Lu Chuan, “I knew that coming here with you would definitely work!”

“Speaking of which, Elder, he also has a Divine Tree branch with him.

It contains endless Spiritual Energy and is extremely powerful!”

The old man became immediately curious upon hearing this and scrutinized Lu Chuan, “The treasures you carry are not just one, are they?”

“Alright, I’ll confess.

Besides the Divine Tree branch, I also possess two Divine Fires.”

“Tsk, tsk, impressive.

With so many good things on you, your journey must have been smooth sailing, defeating all who crossed your path.”

“However, you’ll have to give up the Divine Tree branch sooner or later.

It does not belong to you; it belongs to the World Divine Tree.”

“But no need to hurry, you don’t have to return it now.

Wait for them to come for it.

If they find you, you’ll have to give it up whether you want to or not!”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “In that case, let it return where it belongs.

However, I need to use it to confront my final enemy, who is Lu Fusheng.”

Upon hearing this, the old man also sighed, “Lu Fusheng, that bastard has thrown the whole Kunlun Domain into chaos, filled with smog and noxious miasma, making life unbearable for the people!”

“I also want to kill that guy.

Since you’re going to make a move, then let’s let you do it!”

“I will help you heal Lu You’s body, but her injuries are too severe.

Unless she can regenerate, it’s absolutely impossible!”

Lu Chuan spoke with certainty, “I can help her regenerate her body, as long as I can revive her vitality!”

“Really?

Let me guess, one of your Divine Fires is the Nine Heavens Profound Fire?”

Lu Chuan was startled inside, “You know about that?”

“Of course, among the Divine Fires, only the Nine Heavens Profound Fire has such miraculous power.”

“Since that’s the case, let me go prepare.

I’ll go and gather the medicinal herbs.

Once everything is ready, I’ll come to find you.

In the meantime, you guys just wait here.”

“Just wait for a little while, about half a day, and I’ll be over this afternoon.”

After finishing his words, the old man picked up his cane and left the pavilion to continue searching for herbs in the mountains.

Lu Chuan watched his departing figure and said, “This old man seems pretty good, easy to talk to, and good-tempered.”

“Of course, now that he has agreed!

I’m saved!” Lu You said excitedly!
