Chapter 6 Goodbye Cai'er, the Sword of Reincarnation
As soon as they walked out of the branch temple gate, Sheng Lingxin picked up Xingyuan and carried him on his shoulders. He tapped the ground with his toes, and the figures of the two instantly rose up, speeding towards the headquarters of the Assassin's Temple at an extremely fast speed.

"What happened to Cai'er?"

Xingyuan, who was hiding behind Sheng Lingxin to avoid the wind, asked quietly.

"...How do you know it's related to Cai'er?" Sheng Lingxin stopped instantly when he heard that and asked with a complicated expression.

"Feel."

Xingyuan said calmly: "After all, apart from being related to Cai'er, Uncle Sheng, you have no other reason to come to me."

Sheng Ling was a little surprised, but because he was eager to save his daughter, he took another step, and the surrounding scenery passed by to the left and right in the form of afterimages.

"It is somewhat dangerous. Are you still willing to come?" Sheng Lingxin's voice sounded in Xingyuan's ears.

"I'm already here."

The wind was very strong, so Xingyuan had to get close to Sheng Lingxin's ear to make his words clear. He said in a firm voice, "I want to see Cai'er."

"……arrive."

As soon as Sheng Lingxin finished speaking, the surroundings of the original scenery of the Exorcist City turned into a cave with smooth stone walls on all sides and dim lights.

Is it a teleportation array?

Or was everything I saw along the way since I walked out of the Magic Branch Hall an illusion?
Xingyuan was a little bit unbelievable. He obviously didn't expect that the Assassin's Temple had such means.

Xingyuan noticed the old man in white robe sitting cross-legged beside him out of the corner of his eye and reacted immediately.

The only person who could appear in Cai'er's reincarnation inheritance ceremony, besides her biological father Sheng Lingxin, was her great-grandfather who was the leader of the Assassin's Temple.

If he remembered correctly, this old man had an extremely hot temper. You know, in the original novel, no matter how well Long Haochen performed, it was difficult for him to get even a word of praise from the other party.

When Xingyuan thought of this, he felt a headache and didn't know how to deal with it.

"Child, do you know why I called you here?" Sheng Yue, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, spoke slowly.

"Uncle Sheng said that I can help Cai'er."

Xingyuan bowed slightly, trying his best not to be impolite, "Grandpa, can you tell me where Cai'er is now?"

Shengyue didn't say anything. She stood up and walked to Xingyuan, took out a silver cross necklace and put it on him.

"This is?"

Feeling the coolness of the necklace around his neck and the magical aura contained in it, Xingyuan was also a little surprised.

"You are a child raised by Yanyu, so just call me great-grandfather like Cai'er."

Shengyue gently stroked Xingyuan's hair with his palm. Time waits for no one, so he could only make it brief.

"This necklace can only protect you from the purifying aura, so you will definitely get hurt in there."

Shengyue felt somewhat guilty, thinking that she had let such a young child like Xingyuan take such risks, and that she was really sorry for his mother who had sacrificed her life for the Exorcist.

But he had no choice. Cai'er's ability to survive the entire reincarnation ceremony was more important than his life.

"I will keep an eye on your situation from outside. As long as you can't hold on..."

"I know, great-grandfather."

Without waiting for Shengyue to finish his words, Xingyuan looked at the stone door in front of him and said, "Is Cai'er in here? Then let me in."

"it is good."

Sheng Yue also knew that every second counted, so he immediately mobilized the spiritual power in his body to unlock the seal on the stone door.

The reason why I explained the situation in detail to Xingyuan just now was because I was worried that rashly throwing Xingyuan in would only have the opposite effect.

However, it turned out that he was worrying too much. As long as Cai'er needed his help inside, he would be willing to go in. As the seal was lifted, the two heavy stone doors slowly opened to both sides. A cold breath that was so thick that it looked like deathly grey instantly rushed out. Xingyuan, who was the first to be hit, turned pale when he touched the breath.

Sheng Yue couldn't help but frown upon seeing this. He obviously didn't expect Xing Yuan's physical fitness to be so weak. He immediately became a little worried.

After all, not everyone can receive training in external spiritual power like Cai'er since childhood, and be as talented as her. And it would be a bit too bullying to compare Xingyuan with her by taking her weakest point.

As if sensing that its master was under threat, the death necklace around its neck began to glow and heat up, absorbing the aura of death and purification that touched Xingyuan.

"Are you ok?"

Sheng Lingxin's heart tightened when he saw this, and he asked subconsciously.

Xingyuan did not answer, but took a deep breath and answered directly with action, walking directly into the room behind the stone door.

As the stone door closed again, Sheng Yue said silently, "This is a good child."

Sheng Lingxin was speechless, because he had never paid attention to Xingyuan before. Every time they returned home, they had basically no conversation except for polite greetings.

"If he can really help Cai'er survive this ceremony..."

Sheng Yue's voice became softer and softer, and even Sheng Lingxin couldn't hear it clearly.

……

Inside the cave, Xingyuan had just taken a few steps when he heard a whistling sound coming from the front.

Although he knew through his future vision that the sword energy was coming towards his face, Xingyuan did not dodge.

Apart from the fact that it was difficult for him to dodge the sword energy that arrived in an instant due to his current physical condition, it was also because the Sword of Samsara was spiritual.

If a five-year-old child dodges its attack, it would undoubtedly be a provocation to this artifact that has been passed down in the Assassin's Temple for thousands of years. Xingyuan would suffer even more physical pain.

"Shh-"

A stream of sword energy passed along Xingyuan's face, leaving a long and narrow wound, directly disfiguring his face.

"hiss……"

Xingyuan couldn't help but take a breath, not because of the pain from the scratch, but because there was a pure purifying breath that was dissolving his flesh and blood.

But before he could catch his breath, his left calf was hit by another sword energy. Xingyuan, who was unstable on his feet, fell face down on the ground.

In fact, these external injuries are minor matters. As long as you ask the priests in the temple for treatment, all injuries except those caused by missing arms and legs can be healed.

Xingyuan also knew that the purpose of the Sword of Samsara doing this was to warn him not to get close, otherwise he would have been killed by the sword.

"Cai'er, where are you?"

Now even with the future vision, he could not avoid the sword energy of the Sword of Samsara, so Xingyuan simply turned it off, shouting Cai'er's name loudly while dragging his body forward with difficulty.

"A Yuan?"

Cai'er's weak and somewhat doubtful voice came from the depths. It seemed that she thought she was going to die soon, so she had auditory hallucinations.

"I'll be right over to you."

However, Xingyuan's powerful response proved that all this was not her hallucination. She was already accustomed to seeing in the dark, and she turned over while enduring the severe pain in her body, and saw the outline of Xingyuan's figure dragging himself towards her.

The swishing sound of the sword of Samsara flying around her ears came, but it did not fall on her...

"do not come!"

Cai Er used her last bit of strength to shout, "Get out of the way!"
