I am the villain in the book

Rags were scattered on the ground, revealing the sword wrapped within.

Old Zhangtou had finally revealed his trump card, and both Wei Changtian and Qin Zhengqiu frowned at this moment.

Previously, Bai Youheng had felt a strong sense of danger from this sword, but the two of them felt a strong temptation.

This was a temptation that arose from the heart.

Or perhaps it was a kind of greed.

"Old Zhangtou, this sword..."

His pupils constricted, Wei Changtian took a deep breath and asked, "What's its background?"

"Hmph."

Glancing at Wei Changtian, Old Zhangtou replied indifferently, "This is my sword!"

"Of course I know it's your sword!"

Wei Changtian rolled his eyes: "I'm asking what makes it so..."

"Because it contains an unreleased Moon Picking Sword move."

Old Zhangtou guessed what Wei Changtian wanted to ask, and his expression became serious as he spoke.

"Back then, on Mount Tianshan, I crippled my cultivation to stop the Moon Picking Sword from advancing to the Great Perfection realm."

"Therefore, the final move that could not be unleashed was left in this sword."

"What?"

Wei Changtian was stunned for a moment, and after a long while, he asked in disbelief: "Are you saying that there's a Moon Picking Sword move left in this sword?"

"Yes."

"..."

Damn, this is too mystical, isn't it?!

At that time, Old Zhangtou noticed the abnormality of the Moon Picking Sword and forcibly interrupted the final move that could have allowed the Moon Picking Sword to advance to the Great Perfection realm by crippling his cultivation.

Under normal circumstances, this should be considered "canceling the spell", but now it sounds like this move was sealed??

"Gulp..."

Unconsciously swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Wei Changtian calmed his mind and asked again: "Old Zhangtou, so this move is a strike from the Great Perfection realm of the Moon Picking Sword?"

"That's right."

A complex expression appeared on Old Zhangtou's face: "Since the battle on Mount Tianshan, I have never used this sword once, in order to wait another sixty years, to slay Yan Lu once more."

So that's how it is!

At this moment, Wei Changtian suddenly understood why Old Zhangtou had come to Fengyuan.

It turned out that he had known for a long time that Yan Lu would appear once every sixty years, so he timed it to come and "exorcise demons."

Good fellow, you're quite concerned about the world.

Silently complaining, Wei Changtian forcibly forced himself to look away from the long sword, and he already understood why this sword had such a strong attraction to him.

In fact, what really attracted him was not the sword itself, but the sword move contained within it.

Although he didn't know the reason, Wei Changtian was very sure of one thing—

As long as he could personally "execute" this Great Perfection realm Moon Picking Sword move, then his own Moon Picking Sword realm would have a qualitative leap, at least able to directly break through to Lesser Perfection.

"By the way, Old Zhangtou."

After thinking for a moment, Wei Changtian suddenly asked: "How can I activate this move hidden in the sword?"

"It's very simple, anyone who has practiced the Moon Picking Sword can do it."

"Huh? Then wouldn't that mean..."

Wei Changtian looked at Qin Zhengqiu, and then at Old Zhangtou.

Obviously, currently in the entire Fengyuan, even the entire Dafeng, the entire world, only the three of them know the Moon Picking Sword.

And this also meant that once Yan Lu was really found again, one of the three of them would have to activate the sword move.

Before this, it would undoubtedly be a great thing, but now that he already knew the strangeness of the Moon Picking Sword...

You should know that Wei Changtian and Qin Zhengqiu had only practiced the Moon Picking Sword to the Pure realm, but every time they made a move, they could clearly feel that manipulated feeling.

"Senior Zhang, now your realm is not what it used to be, and Yan Lu cannot possibly stand there and let us kill him, there will inevitably be a chase, I'm afraid you will be powerless to do so."

"So only I am the most suitable."

"..."

Qin Zhengqiu quickly finished his words, and his analysis made some sense.

Wei Changtian's future achievements are limitless, so he naturally cannot bear such a huge risk.

And Old Zhangtou's current realm is too low, if he encounters a situation similar to needing to chase Yan Lu, he would undoubtedly waste the opportunity.

So among the three, it seemed that only he was the most suitable.

But...

"Grandpa."

Looking at Qin Zhengqiu, Wei Changtian shook his head slightly: "There's no rush to decide on this matter, anyway, it's very simple to get started with the Moon Picking Sword, even if we find a few people to learn it now, we'll still have time, let me think about it again."

"Okay, then it's up to you."

Without saying anything more, Qin Zhengqiu nodded and stopped talking.

However, Old Zhangtou on the side suddenly said to him with a somewhat meaningful tone:

"Sect Leader Qin, don't mistake illusion for reality."

"..."

Half an hour later.

With a "creak", Qin Zhengqiu pushed open the wooden door and returned to his independent courtyard in the Princess's mansion.

After the three of them had a simple discussion just now, Wei Changtian ran off to find "cannon fodder" suitable for practicing the Moon Picking Sword.

As for Old Zhangtou's last "reminder"...

Of course Qin Zhengqiu knew what Old Zhangtou was implying.

The latter was afraid that he would be unwilling to give up the Moon Picking Sword.

And in fact, Qin Zhengqiu was indeed unwilling to give up.

Of course, he was not greedy for the power of the Moon Picking Sword, but completely because he was reluctant to give up such an opportunity to step into the First Rank realm.

Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Demonism, Evil, Demon...

You should know that since ancient times, countless cultivators in the world have exhausted all means to try to break through this peak that no one has ever reached.

But no matter which sect or school, which path they took, in the end, no one could do it.

And that's why Qin Zhengqiu was unwilling to give up the Moon Picking Sword, a path that was very likely to succeed.

As for Old Zhangtou's personal experience, Qin Zhengqiu was of course very concerned, but he still wanted to give it a try.

After all, no one has really broken through to the First Rank realm, which also means that no one knows what the process of breaking through to the First Rank is like.

Maybe the problems described by Old Zhangtou, such as "losing oneself", are actually normal conditions when breaking through to the First Rank realm?

And this is precisely why Qin Zhengqiu was willing to take the responsibility of "slaying Yan Lu" on his own initiative.

If he could personally feel the move hidden in the sword, it would be of great help to practicing the Moon Picking Sword in the future.

"..."

A gust of breeze brushed past a few strands of white hair on Qin Zhengqiu's temples.

He stood in the courtyard for a while, and then casually broke off a branch from the tree.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The branch was constantly waving according to the incomparably familiar trajectory, and the strong wind brought up caused the leaves of the ancient tree to rustle.

Don't mistake illusion for reality...

I'd like to see if this is an illusion or reality.
