Primordial 'Dual Cultivator' Dragon With System
Chapter 963 Meng Xianzi's StoryLing Yun's clone somehow felt amused seeing Meng Xianzi laugh like that, especially since she always wore a serious look, and her title was always intimidating, even to him.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Nothing." Ling Yun responded to Meng Xianzi's question by shaking his head. "You've never shown your other side before, and this is the first time I've seen you laugh cheerfully like this."
Meng Xianzi smiled and supported her body with her hands behind her back, looking up at the sky. "I'm an assassin, so I can't possibly show this kind of side; otherwise, people won't fear me. Moreover, I've been through many ups and downs in my life, and I've seen too much blood, so I have long forgotten what the feeling of joy felt like. However, many things changed after I lived with you all, and I started to rediscover that kind of feeling."
"Isn't that great?" Ling Yun's clone inquired as he turned to face Meng Xianzi. "What's the point of us having strength but no emotions? Emotions often make us look weak, but they also do a lot for us. Sad, happy, angry, hateful, jealous—all of them make us feel that we are alive, and our lives would be empty without them."
Meng Xianzi suddenly disappeared, but one of her clones immediately sat beside him, and her five other clones began to practice elsewhere. "I was forced to take out my real body, especially since you made the time flow in this place too far ahead. Otherwise, I would lose track of time, and I wouldn't be able to meet Zhou Yu. Hey, there are four clones of each of us now, so I think they can spar with each other. However, now that we are in opposite positions, I must learn from you, particularly because your fighting experience surpasses mine."
"Even though my clones have been training here, we only fight with one another, and we never fight with other people. That's why your fighting skills, having faced countless enemies for so many years, still surpass mine, and I consider myself fortunate to have your clones here." Ling Yun's clone sighed softly before continuing. "If you had requested my clone technique a long time ago, your combat abilities would have been even more unrivaled in the upper realms, and even Senior Tang Chen might have had to think twice about fighting you."
"Hehe." Meng Xianzi's clone chuckled at that. "You look down on Tang Chen too much, you know? His fighting ability is far beyond what you could imagine, and I lost to him several times when we fought without our cultivation."
After that, their four other clones began sparring with each other, and both of them watched them fight.
Meng Xianzi's clone then spoke to him again. "You're right that strength is useless if we don't have emotions; we're like living corpses without them. However, emotions are a weakness for me, and they have brought me a lot of trouble. When I first became an assassin, I let my emotions interfere, and it almost killed me. My failure at that time had a significant impact on both myself and the person who hired me, as my target became aware of the hirer's identity, ultimately leading to the murder of him and his family. I regretted that incident, so I started to shut down my emotions from then on, and you've probably heard the rest of the story from Ling Xi."
"Yeah, Ling Xi did tell me quite a lot about you, but I still have so many questions for you." Meng Xianzi's clone turned to him with a raised eyebrow. "Master, why did you decide to become an assassin?"
"Can we not talk about that?" Ling Yun's clone responded by shaking his head while putting on a curious look, causing Meng Xianzi's clone to release a heavy sigh. "Much like Mu Yan and Mu Shu, several assassins from an organization massacred my family in one night. At the time, I was not in my clan, as I had joined a sect in a distant realm. I only learned of their deaths after a considerable amount of time had passed, which prompted me to immediately return to my realm. When I arrived there, I heard many rumors about their deaths from the people in our city, and the rumors said that my father was a member of that organization, but he decided to quit because he was tired of his job as an assassin. However, their leader assigned him an almost impossible final task, which he failed to complete, leading to their massacre. At first, I couldn't believe the rumors because my father was so gentle, but then I found some of his relics, which proved that he was indeed an assassin."
"Isn't that too ridiculous? Why would they massacre your family just because your father failed to do one task?" Ling Yun's clone scowled in response.
"To outsiders, such things are indeed very ridiculous, but that is the code of ethics for us assassins, and we are fully aware of the risks if we work for such an organization." After saying that, Meng Xianzi's clone released a heavy sigh. "At that time, my strength was still insufficient, and my cultivation had not yet advanced to the Five God Realms, leaving me powerless to take revenge for their deaths. Since then, I have cultivated diligently under my master's guidance, but I continue to harbor a grudge in my heart, and that grudge continues to fuel my spirit to become very strong."
"So you decided to become an assassin after you found out that your father was an assassin?"
"Yes." Meng Xianzi's clone nodded at him. "In order to find those people, I left my sect after my cultivation broke through to the Five God Realm and decided to become an assassin like my father. After all, assassins like us always act from behind the shadows, and I can only find them if I become one. However, I did it the first time without joining any organization, and the results ultimately disappointed me. Even so, the grudge in my heart forced me not to stop, and I decided to join an assassin organization, where I honed my skills as an assassin. After I trained for several years in that organization and successfully carried out quite a number of big missions, I started to gradually distance myself from them so that I wouldn't end up like my father, and I started to build my own name as an assassin."
Meng Xianzi's clone then took out a black and white fox mask before showing it to him, making Ling Yun's clone raise his eyebrows. "This fox mask is definitely not an ordinary mask, right?"
"Yeah." Meng Xianzi put on the fox mask, and Ling Yun's clone couldn't feel her aura at all. "You can definitely feel it, right? I accidentally found this mask at the location of one of my targets, and I hid it for quite some time in a forest far from people, especially since the leader of that group would check our storage ring every time we returned from our mission. After I started to get away from them, I took this mask and started my own assassination mission."
"I see." Ling Yun's clone nodded in understanding. "That's why the people from that organization couldn't find you, especially since this mask hides your aura so neatly that I can't feel it, even though I'm sitting next to you now."
"Ha ha." Meng Xianxi's clone chuckled, took off the fox mask, and stored it again. "As my cultivation increased and I killed more targets, the closer I got to the group that slaughtered my family. After I was an assassin for years, I finally found that group, and people had started to fear my name at that time, so they gave me the nickname two-face fox assassin because of my mask."
"That means you succeeded in slaughtering them, right?"
"En." Meng Xianxi's clone replied with a nod. "I slaughtered not only the people involved in the massacre of my family, but I also massacred all the members of that organization along with their families, and I didn't spare a single one of them."
"Does that mean you already obtained your dream technique at that time?"
"In fact, I got my dream technique after I ended the existence of that organization, and I got it purely by luck." After he heard that, Ling Yun's clone raised his eyebrows in surprise, and he felt that Meng Xianzi was already too strong, even without that technique. "Back then, I did succeed in killing them, but the injuries I received from their leader were too severe. After all, there were so many people who wanted my head as their trophy, and my condition at that time was very vulnerable, so I decided to retreat to a secluded place to heal myself. Unknowingly, I entered a portal that connected to that ancient ruin, which was the grave of a cultivator in the past named Zhui Mengren, where I met the remnant of her soul, who helped me heal my injury with the remains of her soul power. Afterwards, she passed down to me the dream technique she created and taught me to use it properly, and my name as an assassin became even more feared because of that."
