Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy-Chapter 572 - 494: One More Person!

"I hope Young Master Hu can keep today's events a secret for me."

With a flick of his sleeve, using Universe in the Sleeve, Qi Xiu took away the sword-bearing woman. His face stained with blood, his expression calm, Qi Xiu turned around and slowly cupped his hands towards the red-robed youth behind him.

Facing those calm and deep eyes like an abyss, the red-robed youth chuckled lightly:

"I can promise to keep it a secret for you.

But you must also know that Primordial Spirit True Honor has the ability to traverse the River of Time.

Even if neither of us speaks of it, they can still observe everything that happened today within the River of Time."

"No matter, I have means bestowed by an elder of my sect to completely erase the memory of this world."

Qi Xiu's gaze shifted slightly as he unhesitatingly raised the banner of Dongfang Qing, further logically describing the power of the [Command Talisman] as a means granted by a sect elder.

"Erase? How do you..."

Startled, the red-robed youth was about to ask when he saw the young Daoist opposite him slowly raise his right hand. A vast golden light soared into the sky, transforming into a gigantic hand that covered the sun and sky.

In the midst of the sky, the golden hand rubbed its palm, erasing all the light and shadow images of everything that had just transpired, turning it into a surging blankness that vanished into nothingness.

"This..."

Staring in shock at everything, the red-robed youth gazed at Qi Xiu, who calmly completed the deed, regaining his composure only after a long time:

"I am impressed by your sect's means."

"As for the matter Qi asked for..."

"Rest assured, I swear by my Dao Heart that today's events will not be divulged to a third person. Should I violate this, I will face the penalty of Dao Heart's collapse."

Unhesitatingly swearing by his Dao Heart, the red-robed youth grinned at Qi Xiu, secretly plotting in his mind.

This Daoist's identity is mysterious, surely more than just a disciple of the Shenxiao Sect.

Today, we formed a good bond.

In the future, when my Hu Family enters the pass,

perhaps he can lend a helping hand.

With different intentions, Qi Xiu and the red-robed youth reached an agreement.

"My name is Hu Tianzong, Dao brother can call me Tianzong or Little Hu."

The red-robed youth, despite his tender appearance, carried himself with a carefree demeanor. As the current Young Master of the Hu Family, he showed not a trace of arrogance.

"The term Dao brother is too much for me to bear; Young Master Hu should be older than me and I should be calling you Dao brother."

Laughing, Qi Xiu waved his hand, having previously heard of this Hu Family Young Master's name.

Hu Tianzong.

Liaodong Great Province, the current Young Master of the Tianshan Sect.

The greatest genius of the Hu Family's generation.

At birth, it was rumored that ten thousand spirit beings celebrated, and there was a phenomenon of golden suns and silver moons.

He entered the Dao-Entering Realm upon landing.

At twenty-one years, he achieved Blood-Stained Realm cultivation.

At sixty years, he achieved Blood-Stained Great Perfection.

At two hundred and fifteen years, he became a Dao Expert; his cultivation speed was unmatched in the Liaodong Great Province and reached the ceiling level of the entire Great Xuan Dynasty.

Apart from Qi Xiu, who possessed the proficiency of Divine Marvel as an anomaly.

The most outstanding sect leader disciple, Li Qingshan, spent over five hundred years to achieve the Dao Body Realm.

Compared to him, Hu Tianzong needed only half the time.

"I am older than you? Then you..."

Startled by Qi Xiu's words, Hu Tianzong glanced at him with a strange expression.

Yet, thinking of Qi Xiu's endless means—the fluctuating, yet always superior combat prowess—he nodded as if realizing something.

"I understand. I heard the chief disciple of the Shenxiao Sect this generation is named Li Qingshan, who attained Dao at five hundred thirty-seven years.

But in reality, you are the true chief of the Shenxiao Sect...

You great sects of ancient teachings love to hide your strength, is it to prevent opponents' targeting?"

Watching Hu Tianzong earnestly analyzing, Qi Xiu smiled, no longer offering explanations or rebuttals.

At this point, everything had been settled.

The sword was successfully retrieved, the Demon Kings and Demon Lords sent by the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains were completely annihilated, even the sword-bearing female official was captured alive by Qi Xiu.

This journey to the Southern Ming Wasteland was indeed a great victory for the Human Race.

After resolving everything, Hu Tianzong released the summonings of Zhao Qianqiu and Lord Wei.

After casting a cold final glance at Qi Xiu, the figures of these two Dao Experts dissipated again.

Only the fiery and intense, overly burdened Great Five Elements Annihilation Heavenly Wheel fell, retrieved once more by Qi Xiu.

Rising his Escape Light, Qi Xiu and Hu Tianzong shot skyward, transforming into two meteor-like streaks heading for the area where they had landed previously.

At this moment, at the cliff edge where they had landed earlier.

The Dao Experts unknowingly split into two groups.

One group, led by Beichen Sect, Profound Heaven Treasure Pavilion, and Great Sun Divine Palace, believed the sword-bearing woman had sky-reaching cultivation capable of easily defeating the Dao Body Realm. Hu Tianzong and Qi Xiu fighting her would likely end in disaster or even demise, and they saw no need to wait here.

If the sword-bearing woman pursued them, none would be able to escape.

Meanwhile, the group led by Daoist Yunxiong, Feng Jun, Liu Tai, and Nine Yang Sect's True Monarchs believed that Qi Xiu and Hu Tianzong were sacrificing themselves to delay for them. How could they abandon them and flee alone?

Moreover, many True Monarchs knew Hu Tianzong's methods, combined with the unique environment of the Southern Ming Wasteland, he might not lose to the sword-bearing woman.

Thus, the two groups of True Monarchs progressed from initial verbal sparring and mutual persuasion to a tense standoff, almost ready to fight.

No external pressure meant internal chaos naturally began to emerge.

"Enough!"

Watching the increasingly fierce arguments, Daoist Yunxiong frowned and shouted loudly.
