Li Yao looked thoughtfully at Jian Tan's retreating figure, then suddenly said, "Jian Tan, you stay."
Jian Tan froze, realizing he was no match for Li Yao after witnessing Li Yao's skill.
That's why he reluctantly gave up the peerless sword.
Unexpectedly, Li Yao still wanted to cause him trouble.
Jian Tan turned around, grinned, and said, "Lord Li, I just happened to be passing by and had no interest in the peerless sword."
He always liked to call himself "Laozi" (a respectful term for himself), but in front of Li Yao, he dared not call himself "Laozi" anymore.
Li Yao ignored Jian Tan and said to Madam Ao, "Madam Ao, please have all the guards in the manor leave."
Lady Ao asked, puzzled, "What do you want to do?"
Li Yao smiled and said, "If you don't want me to massacre the Sword Worship Manor, then do as I say."
"you……"
Ao Tian was burning with rage and was about to lash out.
Madam Ao quickly stopped her son's unwise behavior.
Now, their lives are in Li Yao's hands.
If there is the slightest resistance, I fear that the Sword Worship Manor will disappear from the martial arts world forever.
Therefore, Madam Ao immediately ordered all the guards to leave.
Then, Li Yao ordered Duan Lang, Bu Jingyun, and Wudao Kuangtian: "You all stay outside and do not let anyone get close."
"yes!"
Duan Lang and the other two responded.
Afterwards, the three of them also left the sword pool and stood guard outside.
Now, only Li Yao, Madam Ao, Ao Tian, Sword Demon, and Sword Greed remain inside.
Madam Ao and the other three were filled with unease, wondering why Li Yao had left them behind alone.
Lady Ao couldn't help but ask, "Lord Li, what exactly do you want to do with us here?"
"Let's be reasonable!"
Li Yao smiled slightly.
Just as Madam Ao and the other three were completely bewildered, four bursts of energy shot out almost simultaneously.
Madam Ao and the other three women fainted on the ground.
A short while later, when Madam Ao and the other three woke up again, their attitude towards Li Yao had undergone a complete change.
All four of them became Li Yao's puppets.
"Owner!"
Madam Ao and the other three called out in unison, their attitude extremely respectful.
Human nature is unpredictable, and Li Yao didn't want to waste his energy scheming against these people.
Since he intends to completely change the world and bring fairness and democracy to the majority of people in the world.
Therefore, the interests of a small group of people must be sacrificed.
Although the method of cultivating puppets is somewhat cruel.
However, in order to change the world, it is necessary to resort to some extraordinary measures.
Moreover, Li Yao tries his best to choose villains in this world to become puppets.
Li Yao said to the Sword Demon, "Sword Demon, from today onwards, you must not make any more advances toward Madam Ao."
"Yes, Master!"
The Sword Demon bowed in agreement.
Then, Li Yao looked at Jian Tan and said, "Jian Tan, I heard that you know how to control swords. Show me the method of your sword control technique."
"Yes, Master!"
Jian Tan hurriedly pulled out a secret manual from his pocket.
Sword Demon and Sword Greed were from the same school, and both of them had exceptional talent in swordsmanship.
However, they had many conflicts with each other and couldn't stand each other.
The Sword Demon created his own 'Severing Meridian Sword Qi' and followed the path of the Demon Sword.
Jian, however, was greedy and arrogant, unwilling to follow in his senior brother's footsteps, nor did he want to lose to his own senior brother.
Therefore, after studying all the sword techniques of various schools, he devoted himself to the study of the art of flying with a sword, hoping to reach the legendary flying immortal sword realm.
He believed that he could not reach the Flying Immortal Sword Realm because he lacked a good sword.
That's why he collected swords everywhere, which earned him the title of "Sword Greedy".
Li Yao accepted the secret manual handed to him by Jian Tan.
Immediately, information about 'Sword Control Technique' flooded into my mind.
Originally, in Li Yao's imagination, sword control was a kind of extremely precise control over the power of the soul. In the end, one had to be able to perfectly control every part of one's soul.
Just like how he can now perfectly control every bit of his physique and every bit of his true energy.
Unfortunately, Jian Tan's "sword control technique" does involve the aspect of "controlling objects with thoughts".
However, the methods described are rather crude, and their actual reference value is extremely limited.
It seems he can only wait until a higher-level world to obtain the relevant methods for flying on a sword.
Although Li Yao did not gain anything useful from Jian Tan.
However, he later unexpectedly acquired many valuable items at the Sword Worship Manor.
For example, Li Yao had Madam Ao take him to the armory of Baijian Manor.
Although Baijian Manor has declined considerably in recent years.
However, the Baijian Manor still has a deep historical foundation.
The armory in the mountain villa still contains a considerable number of weapons.
These weapons, though not as powerful as divine weapons like the Peerless Sword, Hero Sword, and Snow Drinking Saber, are far more formidable than those used by ordinary martial arts figures.
Li Yao copied these weapons one by one and disassembled them, obtaining a large number of weapon spirits.
Of course, in addition to the weapon spirit, Li Yao also brought the Sword Worship Manor under his control.
Owning the Sword Worship Manor is like owning a huge arsenal.
He wanted to establish a brand new dynasty and a brand new social order, and weapons were essential.
The strength of a dynasty is determined by the strength of its military power.
This was Li Yao's main purpose in subduing the Sword Worship Manor.
In fact, besides the peerless sword, Baijian Manor also possesses a divine weapon.
That is: the sword of defeat.
However, the sword spirit of the Sword of Destruction has been lost, so even if the Sword of Destruction is found, it will not be of much use.
Only by finding the sword spirit of the Sword of Destruction can the Sword of Destruction be brought to life.
As far as Li Yao knew, the sword spirit of the Sword of Defeat should be in the desert.
So, his next target is the desert.
Chapter 270 The Great Calamity of a Thousand Years, The Contradictory Laughing Three Times
After leaving Baijian Manor, Li Yao sent Duan Lang, Bu Jingyun, and Wudao Kuangtian back to Wushuang City.
He, on the other hand, rode alone on his fire-breathing qilin, heading northwest.
This time, his target is the desert.
After traveling for more than ten days, he had arrived at the border between Sichuan and Shaanxi.
In a few more days, he will be able to reach the desert.
On this day, he rode his fire-breathing qilin to a deserted forest and suddenly stopped.
A smile appeared on his face, and he raised his voice, "You've been following me for several days, why haven't you shown yourself?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sudden gust of wind swept through the woods.
Instantly, the tree swayed and its branches danced, and leaves flew everywhere.
As the tangled leaves gradually dissipated, a giant dragon tortoise was revealed, upon which sat a short, stout old man. He seemed to be approaching slowly, but in the blink of an eye, he appeared before Li Yao.
The old man's beard was as white and shiny as frost and snow, and from his appearance, it was impossible to tell how old he was.
In fact, even the old man himself might not be able to say for sure how many years he has lived.
The fire qilin sensed the power emanating from the dragon turtle, a sense of pressure that threatened its territory, causing the flames on its body to instinctively leap up.
The old man stared at the fire qilin with great interest, muttering to himself, "Is this the fire qilin that guards the dragon vein?"
Then, the old man looked at Li Yao, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He smiled slightly and said, "Over the years, I have secretly followed many martial arts masters, but this is the first time I have been discovered."
"Smile three times!"
Li Yao looked with great interest at the illusion of the dragon turtle under the old man's buttocks and softly uttered three words.
Indeed, the old man before us is none other than Xiao Sanxiao, who has lived for thousands of years.
Xiao Sanxiao's whereabouts are extremely mysterious, and few people know of his existence.
Even Di Shitian, who is also immortal, was unaware of Xiao Sanxiao's existence.
Xiao Sanxiao once appeared in the martial arts world as the twelfth member of the Twelfth Fearful One.
This identity appears only once every hundred years.
