Chapter 207: The Demon Core Trial

At midnight, Bai He was in a dazed state as if he had not come to this familiar place for a very long time.

However, when he saw this beautiful older sister, Bai He did not feel happy at all.

"Why is it you again?"

The sword spirit of the Sky Cutting Sword lifted Bai He’s chin and made him look at her.

"Do you have some dissatisfaction with me? Then why did you still let me become your life-bond sword?"

Bai He immediately put on a smile and said, "No, sister. What mission are you going to assign me this time? I thought that since you had not assigned me any missions for two months, there would be no more missions."

"These two months were only for you to rest and consolidate your cultivation. I did not expect you to be this lazy."

Lazy?

Bai He did not accept being called lazy.

He was clearly very hardworking.

However, it was true that he was not as hardworking as Xu Feng.

"I am sorry." He apologized for not managing to cultivate twenty four hours a day without rest.

"Hmph, forget it. Relying on you? Even if you are now the Cryo Sovereign, I have never really placed my hopes on you."

Do not use such a contemptuous tone when speaking to him, alright?

Bai He sometimes really loses his confidence very easily.

Although he is actually a very optimistic person.

"Stop talking. What exactly do you want me to do?"

"I want you to absorb a thousand year old demon core."

Bai He immediately could not sit still and stood up. "A demon core? Are you sure you did not say it wrong?"

"No mistake, it is a demon core."

"But I am an orthodox sect elder. You want me to use a demon core. By then I will be full of demonic aura and will be treated as a great demon lord."

Bai He imagined it, the scene where everyone would hunt him down, the disappointed expression on Ye Shiyuan’s face, and also the disappointed looks from his senior brothers and senior sisters.

At that moment, he suddenly felt that maybe it was not so bad if Sky Cutting Sword Sword was not his life-bond sword after all.

"If you cannot do it, then I will not say anything more."

"I feel like you are deliberately making things difficult for me every time."

"Say whatever you want. In any case, you must complete it. Although a demon core carries demonic energy, if used properly, it may not necessarily be impossible to turn it into your own power. I have already told you before, your body is like a huge container that can hold many more things."

Bai He sat down again and hugged himself tightly. "Even so, you cannot just throw anything at me."

He is not a garbage collector.

Besides, even if it is garbage, there should still be waste sorting.

"Do not think too much for now. What you need to do now is go find a thousand year old demon core first. We will talk after you find it."

"You want me to go deal with demons alone?"

Bai He had never faced a demon alone before, let alone a thousand year old demon.

"I cannot beat them."

"You useless person, you have not even tried and you are already saying you cannot win."

"If I only realize I cannot win when I am fighting, then that is when things are truly over."

"I cannot believe I actually allowed someone like you to become my master."

Bai He felt that the sword spirit of the Sky Cutting Sword must definitely be regretting it now.

The sword spirit of the Sky Cutting Sword’s hand suddenly gripped Bai He’s throat.

Bai He originally thought this was just an illusion, but he did not expect it to be extremely real.

He even felt a suffocating sensation.

He could not say a single word, but then it was as if an unknown force suddenly rebounded and pushed Sky Cutting Sword away.

She was furious, yet completely helpless.

Because Bai He was still, barely, considered her master.

She could not attack a master who had not yet failed the mission.

"You... once I get out, I will definitely throw you into the river."

"You dare!"

"I will also throw you into Elder Yao’s alchemy furnace. How dare you choke me."

Bai He became angry.

Why did he have to do so many things and still make him go hunt demons?

Fine, that alone was already troublesome enough, but she even wanted him to consume a demon core.

That thing, he would not eat it, no matter what, he absolutely would not eat it.

"Hmph, if you fail the mission, I will still kill you."

After saying that, Sky Cutting Sword’s sword spirit disappeared in front of Bai He.

Bai He also opened his eyes and subconsciously touched his own neck.

He looked at Sky Cutting Sword beside him and tried to reach out to grab it, but he could not.

Sky Cutting Sword flew away again.

Bai He tried once more, but it was still the same.

"Fine, I will not throw you into water, nor into fire. Is that enough?"

Sky Cutting Sword understood and then flew into Bai He’s palm.

"But I am telling you, a thousand year old demon core is not so easy to obtain. I cannot just run into a demon cave and kill everything inside."

It must be the kind of demon that is full of evil deeds, the one that has committed countless killings.

Bai He sat cross-legged on the bed while resting his chin on one hand and pretending to think deeply.

How exactly was he supposed to find something like that?

No matter where he searched, he definitely could not find it in Baize Peak.

Bai He decided to go down the mountain.

He would see whether there were any demons causing trouble recently.
