20 Old man
In a certain room, Li Chen was seen sitting on a lotus position when he suddenly opened his eyes.
"System, after I think it through? Would it really be alright for me to join sides with a protagonist?"
Ding*
[Yes host, if you are still unsure, let the system explain once again]
[First, the system would like to ask the host if he knows what it means to be a villain?]
"Of course I know, a villain is a character/role of someone who is on the opposite side of a protagonist."
[Then what exactly makes a villain A villain, and what makes a protagonist A protagonist?]
[Is a young master of every story a villain? Then if he became a crippled and hated by everyone, suddenly he becomes the protagonist?]
"What exactly are you saying system?"
[Just as the host said, a villain is just a 'character' or a 'role' in a protagonist story. Since the host is not a villain of Tang Lina's story, the host would not be targeted by Tang Lina. Theoretically speaking, in this case, the host could be any 'character' and play any 'role' in Tang Lina's story]
"Ahh... I understand now. So a villain is nothing but a character that makes a protagonist shine, and since Tang Lina does not consider me a villain, I can do anything I want right?"
[The host is correct]
[The system reminds the host that the host has not checked the moon sword from the auction]
"Ah right, system take the moon sword out" Li Chen replied to the system as the moon sword was currently in the system's inventory
As he said those words, a crescent moon shaped sword appeared in front of him.
"Well this is one cool looking sword, I could use this in place of the other sword that I own" After saying those words, Li Chen use his spiritual sense and inject his own spiritual power into the sword but nothing happened.
tick tock tick tock....
After several seconds, a figure of an elderly man with long beard emerged from the sword, he seemed to have awakened from a deep slumber.
The figure looked at Li Chen and after thinking about something, he decided to open his mouth "Boy, seeing that you are very talented, come and acknowledge me as your master."
Surprised hearing the words of the figure, Li Chen just sat there and looked at the old man straight in the eyes and asked "Why should I?"
"Boy, before I was reduced to this stage, I was once a powerful saint rank expert and an extremely powerful sword cultivator." The elderly figure puffed his chest with his hand as he said those words with a proud look on his face.
"Why are you so proud old man? If you are so powerful then how come you are in this state?" Li Chen smirked as he replied to the old man
"Heh.. boy you need to know that I was someone who is revered and feared by the world once. They even gave me a nickname - The Moon Sword Saint. Since I was young, I have always been talented and defeated all my peers." The elderly man said once again
"Ohhh.... tell me more old man, your story seemed very interesting." Li Chen has also read the story about The Moon Sword Saint once. In the story, after breaking through the Saint realm, he traveled and challenged experts from all over the world. In the end, it is said that the moon sword saint met a formidable opponent and died in battle
"As I said, I defeated all my peers and overcome many challenge until I broke through the Saint realm. After I broke through, I travelled around the world to fight experts to increase my reputation. All seemed well, until I met 'that' person." The elderly figure had a terrified expression when he said these words
"He called himself Li Gang, and I was defeated by that person in one move. After that battle, I developed myself a mental demon and after a long time, I died. Before my death, I left a wisp of my consciousness in my sword." After speaking for a long time, the elder stopped and asked me to be his disciple once again.
After hearing his story, Li Chen sat there with no emotions on his face as he was currently speaking inside his head with the system.
"System, is there anyway I could still get the inheritance of the moon sword but I want that consciousness to be destroyed."
Ding*
[The host certainly could, but it would cost 10 million system points]
"Nice, go ahead and do that."
Without replying at the old figure, Li Chen just smirked as he waved goodbye to the old man and the old figure suddenly disappeared.
Ding*
[Moon Sword Technique Acquired (Low tier Heaven Grade)]
"Awesome, another Heaven grade technique."
You must be wondering why Li Chen destroyed the consciousness as keeping the old man by his side would one beneficial to him
Well.. you're correct, but it seemed like if the old man knew who Li Chen truly is, he will kill Li Chen on the spot right? As the one who was called 'Li Gang' was none other than Li Chen's grandfather from his mother family
(LOL)
-----------
Time passed quickly and Li Chen arrived to the location of the secret realm where he saw hundreds if not thousands of people gathered together
