Secret Demon Main Path, Tao Qian remained calm as he supported Princess Tuluo.
It seemed he didn't think much of the so-called "Evil Sword."
Yet within his heart soul, there was a similar voice, layer upon layer, roaring.
"Take it, get that sword, you must get it..."
This voice was truly difficult to resist.
The more talented one is, the more proficient in swordsmanship, the harder it is to resist.
Especially when along with these voices came an incredibly real, no, a truly existing feeling, a gift given before even touching it.
In his mind emerged an abundance of sword techniques and skills he had never practiced, nor even seen before, encompassing Daoist, Buddhism, Demon Sect, Side Door... even those created by various Gods and Demons from the Source Sea, almost all-encompassing, nothing was absent.
"Just seeing me as a Sword Cultivator at first glance, you first give me such a great gift?"
"If a Daoist friend like Shi Yingqiong were here, seeing this strange Evil Sword with only sword tooth left, I'm afraid they couldn't resist the temptation at all."
These two thoughts just flashed by.
While Tao Qian was still struggling to resist that layered roar, the "Evil Sword" seemed to sense that he wasn't hooked, unexpectedly laid down another fragrant bait.
The All Heavens swordsmanship began to converge, transforming into Sword Dao Heavenly Rank, each rank was swordsmanship familiar to Tao Qian, starting from the Selfless style, then followed by Slaying Immortals, Demon Cleansing, Demon Suppressing, Slaying Strange, Destroying Buddha, God Slaying, Evil Extermination, Evil Extinguishing... after nine ranks, the final rank was that broken sword.
Which is to say, as long as this Evil Sword is obtained, one could ascend to the pinnacle of Sword Dao, invincible across All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.
Such temptation was really real, really hard to resist, especially for a Sword Cultivator who practiced the "Secret Demon Sacrifice Body Sword Technique," it was deadly.
Even if Yuan Gong were here, he might lose his composure.
Only Tao Qian was an exception.
As his body trembled slightly to exempt the contamination, a record burst forth in his mind:
[Currently suffering from the Great All Heavens Secret Demon Enchanting God Sword Intent corruption... Can exempt!]
[This Sword Intent originated from the sword-slashing Evil Sword of the second generation Patriarch "Sacrificial Sword Demon" of the Secret Demon Sect, not deliberately refined, but born as this sword, following its master in slaying All Heavens, slaying All Gods and Demons, mesmerizing All Heavens Ten Thousand Spirits, Great Abyss God Demon, making them Sword Slaves, at their command.]
[All sword techniques and swordsmanship imparted by this Sword Intent are real, but the cost of cultivation will increase more than tenfold.]
[If succumbed to Sword Intent, the mastership over Evil Sword will no longer be achievable.]
[If able to obtain the Evil Sword body, the lifelong inheritance of the Sword Demon Patriarch will be bestowed.]
[Can exempt from Sword Intent corruption!]
[Can exempt from part of the Evil Sword body contamination!]

When these exemption messages appeared, Tao Qian immediately became excited, repeatedly shouting in his heart:
"What a Patriarch's legacy treasure!"
"Could it be that the blessing and fortune of the main body were also copied for me."
"The main body had a heap of treasures like the People Species Bag, Nine Toad Bead, Toad God Tile, Miraculous Tree Treasure Boat, Ten Thousand Clouds Divine Robe... all excellent treasures, and I have none, if I can get this Demon Sword now, it would just make up for the lack."
"It should be so, it should be mine."
Cang Si naturally didn't know the changes on Tao Qian, he saw that the Ancestor Land Demon Son, who clearly practiced the Sacrifice Sword Skill, could remain calm upon seeing the "Evil-slaying Sword," simply assumed that it was due to his extraordinary mental state and cultivation, as well as the remaining seal on the Evil Sword.
Yet at this time, he didn't dare to lift the seal himself to release more contamination, that would be seeking death.
The Evil-slaying Sword was obtained by him during training outside, extremely dangerous, if not for his master [Infinite Demon Lord] intervening and sealing it.
The True Monarch Cang Si by now would have long become a Puppet controlled by the Evil-slaying Sword, slaughtering everywhere.
"The Evil-slaying Sword, after all, a Patriarch's legacy, even if only the hilt and a little sword tooth remain, its power is not something I can withstand."
"Those who don't practice swordsmanship and get this sword will surely suffer."
"Those who practice swordsmanship if they get the sword, the disaster will be even worse."
"This is also the price of acquiring the treasure, if he can bear it, I certainly won't use tricks to get the treasure back."
Cang Si thought these thoughts and considered himself straightforward.
Hence, without further hesitation, he raised his hand and threw it, that Evil Sword again turned into a dark Demon Light, flying heavily towards Tao Qian.
Tao Qian only felt a chill enter his hand, heavy and rough, like a rusty iron ingot.
Almost simultaneously, on the sword hilt, a Black Talisman suddenly appeared.
It burned without fire!
Turning to gray ashes and scattering.
This scene, Tao Qian saw it, and the group of Secret Demon Sons also glimpsed it, their hearts immediately guessing it was the True Monarch Cang Si's calculation.
Indeed, when the Black Talisman turned to ashes, Cang Si's delayed words of reminder followed reluctantly.
"Let the junior brother know."
"This Evil Sword is considered a supreme treasure in the Secret Demon Sect, especially for Sword Cultivator, it is an unparalleled Divine Treasure."
"But there are benefits, there are also costs, the sword carries the resentment of the Patriarch, and the hatred and contaminated blood of those Evil Gods slain by the Patriarch... if one cannot endure, there will be some hindrance, previously sealed by my master's [Infinite Demon Sealing Talisman], hence it did not manifest."
"Since this sword has returned to the junior brother, the Demon Talisman naturally should also be retrieved, junior brother, take care."
As these words were spoken.
The group of Secret Demon Sons, whether in their hearts or openly, started mocking the True Monarch Cang Si.
"Turns out this old cow is thick-skinned and black-hearted, using such dirty tricks?"
"Junior Brother Cang Si has always been honest, but finally learned the way of scheming, though a little shallow, it's already effective."
"The Ancestor Land Demon Son will be in trouble."
"Too greedy, reaching out bare-handed to receive treasures thrown by others, getting caught is deserved."
The True Monarch Cang Si, who threw out the Evil Sword, paid no heed to being mocked.
