Zhou Xuan's eyes flashed, somewhat hesitant.
His character is very direct. Under normal circumstances, he would choose to kill the Burning Sword without hesitation. Regardless of whether what the other party said is true or false, as long as there is a slightest threat, he will definitely kill him directly. the best choice.
Anyway.
The Burning Sword will always be a bit of a threat.
Zhou Xuan happens to be a person who is reluctant to see threats. Any risk should be nipped in the cradle. Even if the past of the Burning Sword is somewhat touching, perhaps the Burning Sword has been lonely for nearly ten thousand years. It's somewhat difficult.
but……
so what?
Zhou Xuan still couldn't tell whether the Burning Sword's words were true or false. What if the other party was just pretending to be sincere, but was actually hiding murderous intent?
Direct obliteration is the least risky option.
Zhou Xuan knew very well in his heart that if he only had the two options mentioned by the Burning Sword and killed them directly, there might not be much benefit, but at least there wouldn't be any risks, mainly because of the plan. A peace of mind.
However……
Zhou Xuan was still unable to make a decision.
Zhou Xuan knew very well in his heart that the existence named Burning Fire in the flaming sword was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface. This person was hidden in the flaming sword, and he was the first test of Yandi Palace. That alone is special enough.
To know.
Others may not be able to understand the burning fire in the flaming sword. The most powerful person in the entire Kyushu Realm, His Majesty Yandi, who is also the master of the Yandi Palace, is impossible not to know this. Even without thinking carefully, he can know that the burning fire The sword must be inextricably related to His Majesty Yan Emperor!
even……
His Majesty the Emperor Yan clearly knew about the existence of the Sword of Burning Fire, but still regarded it as the first test of the Emperor Yan Palace, more or less to help the Sword of Burning Fire select its successors.
There is one more thing.
week The Sword of Burning Fire is in the Emperor Yan's Palace...the answer is already ready to come out.
If nothing unexpected happens.
The Sword of Burning Fire must be inextricably related to His Majesty the Emperor Yan, so that it was probably His Majesty the Emperor Yan who protected the soul of the Sword of Burning Fire and regarded it as the first test of the Yan Emperor Palace, waiting for a The one who can save the Burning Sword.
It is reasonable to infer this.
Zhou Xuan's thinking was very quick. In a blink of an eye, he deduced from these clues that the Sword of Burning Fire was probably closely related to His Majesty Yan Emperor, so he had to hesitate.
To know.
His Majesty Yan Emperor deliberately protected a ray of soul of the Burning Fire Sword and kept it warm and nourished for many years, and he also placed his hope on helping the Burning Fire Sword find a successor, which shows that Burning Fire is definitely a relatively important person to Yan Emperor.
Under such circumstances.
If Zhou Xuan really killed the soul of the Burning Fire Sword, he would inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction and anger of His Majesty Yan Emperor, and even getting angry directly would be a bad idea.
Don't forget one thing.
Zhou Xuanruo really killed the divine will of the Burning Fire Sword, not because he really felt the threat of the Burning Fire Sword, but because he did not want to take any risks and wanted to nip the possible threat in the cradle. , the two seem to be the same, but there are essential differences and differences.
The difference is that.
If Zhou Xuan saw a threat and had to take action to wipe out the soul of the Burning Sword, he could still be more or less reasonable. On the contrary... if others, the Burning Sword, are always "sincere", but you are unwilling to see it. Seeing the risk and forcibly obliterating it, no matter how you explain it, this is somewhat unexplainable.
therefore.
Zhou Xuan had some difficulty making a decision.
His eyes flashed, and he finally thought of something. If his guess was correct, the Burning Sword was indeed inextricably linked to His Majesty Yan Emperor. Out of trust and respect for His Majesty Yan Emperor, the Burning Sword's The words are also very clear.
This is a logic that is not difficult to explain.
His Majesty Yan Emperor has always been able to win the hearts of the people precisely because he has always acted openly and aboveboard. If the first test of Emperor Yan Palace was set up with the intention of taking away the life of the person who passed it, there would definitely be an uproar. There was an uproar.
Thinking rationally, this shouldn't be possible.
"If this person has a close relationship with His Majesty Yan Emperor and is trusted by His Majesty Yan Emperor, then his words will have a certain degree of credibility. If I accept his kindness, it will definitely be of infinite help to my own cultivation. Besides, it can also win the favor of His Majesty Emperor Yan, so why not?"
Zhou Xuan thought a little bit in his heart and gradually made some plans.
Zhou Xuan weighed the pros and cons, and finally decided to keep the Burning Fire Sword in front of him, not entirely because of the benefits. If the Burning Fire Sword has a close relationship with Emperor Yan, and what he said is probably true, then it would be more or less convincing. People are moved.
"You have a third option."
Perhaps because he saw the hesitation in Zhou Xuan's heart, the voice of Taoist Fen Huo, who had been silent for a long time, slowly sounded. No melancholy or threat could be heard, but instead he seemed to be indifferent to the world.
"You can give up signing the contract with me and have nothing to do with me anymore, so there won't be any risks."
Zhou Xuan's eyes flickered, but his mood became more determined.
After some analysis, he believed the words of the Burning Sword more and more, especially when he heard the last sentence - the other party made all three decisions he could make clear, almost breaking them apart and crushing them. Everything is presented in front of him, so that he can see that the Burning Sword is absolutely sincere.
Facing such a person, coupled with the relationship with His Majesty Yan Emperor, it is really difficult not to trust him.
"Senior has been waiting for thousands or even nearly ten thousand years. If the junior has the opportunity to help the senior reshape his soul, he should do his best. I just hope that the senior will not dislike the junior's low cultivation level."
Zhou Xuan cupped his hands and finally made his attitude clear.
Fenhuo was slightly startled, as if he did not expect that Zhou Xuan would actually agree. He had already seen that Zhou Xuan was a cautious person, so he would not force it. Now he was a little unresponsive, and then he spoke lightly.
"Since you can sense my soul, you naturally have enough talent. Even if your cultivation level is low for a while, you will definitely reach the sky in the future. What do I have to worry about? I'd rather you work hard and spend some effort for me. .”
Taoist Fenhuo paused, and his words seemed to be smiling.
