Xiahou Cenyi smiled and said, "Let me make it short - I still remember that time you said that you had returned from Zhanhai Tower and then lost all your cultivation."
Do you still remember?
Liu Yuan's eyelids bulged as he recalled how the Supreme Elder had frightened him so much that he pissed and shit himself, and even dropped his sword.
Ling Yao's expression remained unchanged, her beautiful eyes lowered, and she asked, "Zhan Hai Lou?"
Liu Yuan shuddered subconsciously when he saw her expression, then thought of what she had said before, and said with a wry smile: "It's a long story... It's really a long story!"
The latter sentence was naturally directed at Xiahou Cenyi, and he also stretched out his hand to block her action of tickling him. However, he was "weak as a kitten" at the moment, so how could he stop the powerful supreme elder of Tianbao Pavilion?
Xiahou held down Liu Yuan's hand and lay on top of him with a smile. Liu Yuan couldn't help but shiver.
The Grand Elder placed his chin on his shoulder, hugged him with both hands, leaned close to his ear, and said, "Let me first tell you about the demonic energy in your body... A normal human being cannot carry demonic energy in his body unless he has been parasitized by a demon. But Jun Xuan, you are still a genuine human being."
At this moment.
Liu Yuan could hardly control his emotions, thinking of how she held his hand and helped him cut down the sword in Wanjian City, and he also saw the clear and indifferent pupils of Ling Yao in front of him reflecting the close relationship between the two of them.
Xiahou chuckled twice in his ear: "You're blushing..."
Liu Yuan was defeated step by step. He could only take a deep breath, force himself to remain calm, and with difficulty recounted the matter of the Taiyi Dao Jue, the Heavenly Demon, and the stone tablet, which was divided into three parts.
Xiahou Cenyi pondered and said, "So, you got the demon clan's skills because the stone tablet mistook the large amount of demonic energy in your body at that time?"
Liu Yuan nodded, secretly thankful that he had finally diverted this guy's attention.
Chapter 246: Sandwiches and the Forgotten Window
On the other side, Ling Yao frowned, and for the first time his cold expression showed worry. He murmured, "The demons have penetrated so deeply... They have even set their sights on the title of the Martial Emperor's descendant. They are so confident, I'm afraid there are people in other sects who are supporting them."
Xiahou Cenyi also put on the dignity of a supreme elder and said solemnly: "Not only that, the Yonghui Sea Demon Abyss is guarded by Zhanhai Tower, and there is absolutely no possibility of a breakthrough. I am afraid that the demons have found another way to reach the human world."
Good! As expected of the Grand Elder, he has a plan that leaves nothing to chance!
Liu Yuan secretly applauded, and actually guessed another reason for the subsequent outbreak of the demonic tide -
As mentioned earlier, the demon world where the demons live is below the sea surface, where the surging earth fire originates. The magma fissures on the seabed are called the Demon Abyss, which is the only way for the demons to come to the human world.
Before the Second War between Humans and Demons, there was only one large demonic abyss in the world, and that was the one under the Sea of Eternal Darkness.
But after that, some tiny demonic abysses appeared in the world again, and they were very difficult to detect under the cover of the demons.
For example, when Liu Yuan was being chased by a group of monkeys in the Jiuyuan Mountains, he accidentally entered the [Snake in the Cup] copy, which was actually a magic abyss that should have been opened by the sealed magic dragon, but after being defeated by the player, this magic abyss no longer existed.
In other places, such as in some deep mountains and forests and uninhabited barren lands, there are also some demon abysses, which allow some demons to take advantage of the situation, break through the blockade, come to the human world and possess human monks or mortals to lurk.
Liu Yuan took the opportunity to mention that the number of Demon Abysses might increase, and especially drew Ling Yao's attention. Her prestige among the younger generation of Yuxu Taoist sect had even surpassed that of her master and uncle. Whether as the eldest sister of Yuxu or as the position of Yuxu's head master that she would inherit in the future, she could play a great guiding role in the righteous path.
As for Xiahou Cenyi... although her status and seniority are indeed high, because of her unreliable personality, the people she has offended are definitely more than you can imagine, so it is better to let her keep quiet.
The Grand Elder seemed to sense something, looking at him with a half-smile, then stretched out his hand to pinch his cheek and said, "After listening to you, I know that the Demon Realm also has such a hierarchical structure - speaking of which, the Demon Emperor's daughter is interested in you. Junior brother, if she comes to kill us with her subordinates in the future, do you plan to marry her or kill her?"
Liu Yuan didn't know whether she was jealous or not. He was pinched on the face with a serious expression and said incoherently, "The demons are the mortal enemies of the human race, so they must be killed. Besides, she didn't care about my life or death at the time and forced me to become a demon. It didn't seem like she was interested in me. She just wanted my body."
Xiahou and Lingyao were stunned, and then even Lingyao slightly raised the corners of her mouth and revealed a faint smile, not to mention the Supreme Elder, she lay on Liu Yuan and laughed, patting his shoulders continuously, and finally rolled around on the bed.
"Pay attention to your image!"
And I always feel like I'm being laughed at, which is really an insult to my dignity...Is it unreasonable to lust after me? Aren't you one of those who lust after my body?
Liu Yuan twitched his lips and whispered, Xiahou Cenyi had laughed enough and turned over, lying behind him with her face propped up, her clothes disheveled, her black hair falling like a waterfall on one side and spread out on the bed, she squinted her eyes lazily, her expression was evil and charming, and two white and slender legs were faintly visible under her skirt.
Although the figure of the Supreme Elder is not as good as Ling Yao's, and can only be described as "curvy", his legs are really long, as white and ivory-colored, and his feet are slender and beautiful like bamboo shoots, and his toes are white and tender like pearls.
Xiahou suddenly asked, "Are you greedy?"
Liu Yuan answered subconsciously: "Greedy."
When I came to my senses, I felt a little embarrassed.
He felt that his majesty, which intimidated everyone with one sword in the secret realm, suddenly plummeted and fell away with a loud crash.
He has become a pervert who is greedy for other people's bodies.
The Grand Elder laughed first, then looked at him with a smile. Surprisingly, she did not laugh at him. Instead, she stretched out her leg and stepped on him twice: "Then wait until my real body comes out of retreat..."
Liu Yuan looked at her with horror, then at Ling Yao, and froze to move.
Ling Yao looked indifferent and said, "The sword spirit cannot be away from the main body for too long. Senior's spirit body has not recovered yet, so it is better to go in and warm it up for a while."
Xiahou Cenyi blinked his eyes, curled his lips and smiled, "Actually, I have something to tell you. Junior Brother has merged with the Xuanyang Pearl, the companion pearl used by the young master of the Xuanyin family to give birth to offspring. Now he is full of Yang energy, and using it for dual cultivation... is very nourishing."
She said in a serious tone, "Do it a dozen or twenty times, and the sword spirit body will be stable."
Ling Yao had been practicing asceticism since childhood after all, and his expression was relaxed. He could not stand such outrageous remarks. He pursed his lips and wanted to scold, but the person in front of him was the Grand Elder of Tianbao Pavilion, who was of an extremely high seniority, and he really had no way to deal with it for the time being.
Xiahou Cenyi was very amused. He retracted his feet, straightened his clothes and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's stop playing. It's more important to talk about business."
Liu Yuan let out a long breath, and then confessed almost all of his experiences in Emperor Wu's tomb, including the fact that Emperor Wu's residual soul possessed Tang Yuanhua. He then took the opportunity to ask, "Jiao'er, what about your demon-in-law relationship?"
Ling Yao heard him call her by her childhood name unexpectedly, and thinking of Xiahou Cenyi's words, her neck suddenly flushed. She tilted her head and said, "I cast [Life and Death Together] on you in my early years, which can tell the other party's status and get half of their status, or share half of the injury when fatal damage is received. I sensed that you were invaded by evil spirits and your life was in danger, so I immediately activated it. Who knew that halfway through, a balance was achieved... Why do you think I came to the tomb of Emperor Wu?"
Simply put, you get half the buff and share half the damage.
Liu Yuan suddenly realized that it was no wonder that even though he was so seriously injured, his demonic energy remained lingering and even gradually stabilized. It turned out to be her...
Liu Yuan was touched and felt guilty at the same time. He saw the cold and beautiful woman looking coquettish and angry, which was rare for her. He couldn't help but move his index finger. However, the Supreme Elder behind him started to act strangely again, saying mischievously, "Why don't you go and comfort your fairy?"
What fairy?!
Liu Yuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, but Xiahou behind him pushed him forward with force, directly pushing him back into that land of gentleness.
The Supreme Elder was behind, Ling Yao was in front, and Liu Yuan was sandwiched between the two beauties, like a sandwich, having the best of both worlds.
While the three were playing, the boat shook violently. Ling Yao's expression froze and he said, "There is an evil spirit under the water."
A young girl's cry came from the bow: "Big Sister! It's bad! There's a dragon in the river!"
Before he finished his words, a pretty face looked in from the window that Xiahou Cenyi had just opened, and saw the chaotic scene of three people on the bed.
The girl in the Yuxu Taoist robe opened her eyes wide, and her anxious look suddenly turned into shock. Then she suddenly felt a strong spiritual power and was pulled in.
The window was slammed shut.
Chapter 247: Pure Junior Sister
As mentioned earlier, the main stream into which the Bailong River converges is called the Hualing River. In the game, it is the haunt of a wild BOSS named [Hualing Dragon Shadow].
Rumor has it that there was once a real dragon lurking here. When the dragon's shadow fell into the river, it turned into a demon spirit - this is a brief background introduction.
And now they have encountered it.
"Wow..."
Liu Yuan had already stood up and was looking outside the cabin. The river was indeed rough, but the white waves kept rising and falling, and he couldn't see clearly what was causing the trouble below.
“Ka… Ka…”
He steadied himself as the boat swayed and could hear the sound of the boat being hit by something hard, probably scales.
Although the spiritual dragon shadow is only a projection of a real dragon, it has a substantial shape and even flesh and blood. It is just the gathering of spiritual power. If it is not preserved by special methods, it will return to the world and cease to exist soon after death.
Therefore, after defeating this BOSS, the player needs to go to Tianbao Pavilion and buy a locked treasure box within 24 hours.
But players usually don't do this - because the materials dropped by the Spirit Dragon Shadow are precious, selling them directly to Tianbao Pavilion can enhance the reputation of this faction, and they can get a discount on Dragon-related items. Isn't it more reliable than spending a lot of money to build equipment?
However, this kind of thing is a matter of opinion, and everyone can take what they need.
Having said that, the level of this Spirit Dragon Shadow is 55, which is the fifth level of Refining Void. For those present, it should not be very difficult.
Even if Ling Yao was not there, Ling Jie was also an expert in the Refining Void Stage. It would be easy for him to lead a group of people to defeat a level 55 BOSS. Why was the girl so flustered?
Liu Yuan frowned and thought for a while, then looked to the side, only to find with a smile that the girl was so frightened that tears were about to fall out of her eyes. Her pretty face was extremely pale and bloodless. She looked at the two beautiful women in front of her in panic, and she felt that she might be silenced.
The girl had almond eyes and rosy cheeks, with a pair of eyes that were distinctly black and white. She had a pretty face and looked very petite. After being pulled down, she held her head and shivered in the corner, her eyes were full of mist, and she bit her lips, looking pitiful like a little rabbit.
This pitiful posture reminded Liu Yuan of Gu Siyin inexplicably, and her bright eyes that were often coquettish and shy. He wondered how the little girl was doing after being away for two months... With Ning Xiangrong taking care of her, she shouldn't be doing too badly.
Gu Siyin was the first person Liu Yuan saw after traveling through time, and also the first character he conquered. Therefore, he has always had a special feeling for Gu Siyin, similar to a fledgling complex. Otherwise, when he did not have any ability to protect himself, he would not have exposed himself in the lobby of Chiyu Villa on impulse and encountered life-and-death danger for the first time.
He mostly felt pity for Gu Siyin and once promised to marry her, but later Shen Sifan came to hunt him down, so he fled in a hurry, delaying his marriage with her and Ning Xiangrong.
Ling Yao was probably right about everything he said before, except for one thing which was wrong, that is, during the time of Chi Yu Shuiyue, only Ning Xiangrong gave her body to Liu Yuan, while Gu Siyin remained intact.
Because Gu Siyin herself is just a mortal, Liu Yuan hopes that she can use her Yuan Yin body to better stimulate the Xuanwu bloodline in her body to practice, so that the chance of achieving the Great Dao will be higher.
During this period, every time Liu Yuan took out the illustration, he could see that Gu Siyin's attributes were rising rapidly, and now she had already established her foundation. It can be seen that this naive girl who had been spoiled since childhood is now also practicing hard. Liu Yuan could almost imagine her clenching her little fists and looking determined as she "fighted for brother Jun Xuan."
——Liu Yuan realized later that he could use the illustrations to monitor the status of the characters in real time. This was much more convenient, and if something happened, he could rush to the rescue in time.
At this moment, because he thought of Gu Siyin, Liu Yuan's eyes softened a little and there was a hint of smile when he looked at the girl in Taoist robes.
Ling Yao had now returned to his cold and aloof Taoist appearance with fluttering sleeves. He looked at the girl crouching with her head in her hands and said calmly, "I remember, your name is Ling Zhen."
The girl in Taoist robes raised her head and glanced at her, her eyes full of tears as she anxiously said, "Yes, yes... wuwu... Senior Sister... I, I won't tell anyone..."
Xiahou Cenyi's expression changed, and he put away his cunningness. He pretended to be impatient and snorted coldly, "This girl is crying so loudly, she must be trying to attract other people's attention. It's better to kill her."
Liu Yuan could see that she was trying to scare him on purpose, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Ah!" Ling Zhen was so scared that she choked and held back some of her tears. It was obvious that she was terrified. She quickly covered her mouth and shook her head desperately.
The girl regretted it so much that her intestines turned green.
Lingzhen, Lingzhen, what are you gossiping about! Is it okay to gossip about such private matters? If a mere inner sect disciple like you knew about this, wouldn’t it be like what’s happening now?
It turned out that she was the pretty girl who was very concerned about the relationship between Jiang Feng and Ling Yao when she was discussing what she saw and heard in Emperor Wu’s tomb with other young disciples on another star ship.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her guess was correct. Now that she was attacked by Dragon Shadow, she had to go find the senior sister to inform her. She immediately felt that this was the perfect timing, so she volunteered to see if she could find any clues. However, she didn't expect that she actually uncovered an "affair" that would definitely shock the entire cultivation world.
It turned out that not only the eldest senior sister, but even Jiang Feng’s senior sister, the supreme elder of Tianbao Pavilion, had an extraordinary relationship with him, and the three of them seemed to get along very "harmoniously".
The girl's heart started pounding when she recalled the scene she had seen not long ago. She was young and had lived in the mountains all year round, so she was even more ignorant than Gu Siyin. She felt it was exciting and fresh.
Even though he was filled with shock and regret at the moment, Ling Zhen couldn't help but feel a little happy that his gossip was satisfied, and what followed was an even stronger curiosity.
What kind of person is Jiang Feng, who can win over both the cold and elegant Senior Sister and the mysterious Supreme Elder, and make them both obey him?
She raised her head and took a peek, only to see the tall black-clothed young man looking at her with a look of nostalgia and tenderness. She hurriedly lowered her head and sobbed, but her cheeks suddenly became red and hot, and her heart was beating like a deer, making her feel flustered. She cried as softly as a mosquito: "No, don't... Senior Sister, Senior, I, I won't tell..."
As he spoke, he felt lost again. Now that the senior sister and Elder Xiahou were both here, who would the soft light in his eyes be for?
But Ling Yao spoke again, his tone indifferent: "Don't listen to her nonsense, this matter is not so serious. The dragon shadow is coming, the situation is urgent, and I don't have time to deal with you, but I am also worried about you. Right now there is only one way to solve it-"
Ling Zhen was frightened at first, but then he felt relieved when he heard there was a solution.
Xiahou smiled mischievously and said, "As long as you become an accomplice, the problem will be solved."
Liu Yuan turned his head slowly, looking as if he had not woken up yet and was very confused.
Chapter 248: The Fall of Lingzhen
Xiahou Cenyi met Liu Yuan's gaze without dodging or avoiding it. Instead, he took it as a matter of course, stroking his chin and looking at him with a smile, his eyes sparkling, as if he was looking forward to Ling Yao and Liu Yuan's reactions.
Liu Yuan's expression changed from confusion to weirdness. Although he knew that she always liked to play pranks, the fact that she even talked about such things casually made her look like a habitual offender who kidnapped and trafficked decent girls.
I don’t know if the Supreme Elder, who has lived for such a long time, has really done such a thing.
For Xiahou Cenyi, who always only cares about whether things are fun or not, the consequences of things, the eyes of others or the difficulty of the process are not within the scope of consideration. Only his own happiness is real.
Liu Yuan felt helpless, and took the opportunity before the situation got any worse to say, "My senior sister was just joking. This matter is not a big secret, but it is not convenient to make it public now. You just need to swear a vow to clear your mind, and everything will be fine."
The binding force of the Heart Demon Oath is smaller than that of the Heavenly Tribulation Oath, but for ordinary cultivators, it is also a very serious oath.
However, the inner demon caused by the inner demon oath can be big or small, depending on the karma generated in the individual's heart, and there can be a delay in its onset. As for the heavenly tribulation oath, a fixed amount of thunder tribulation is a small punishment, and if it is not completed, being struck to death directly is the least of the consequences. Therefore, the latter is more important.
He just thought the girl was pleasant and pleasing to the eye, but he didn't have the slightest intention of attracting more bad luck in love for no reason... The Jinlan Guards in the City Lord's Mansion were in a py relationship, and it could even be said to be a trial ground. He learned a lot of useful things, and both sides got what they needed and it was very enjoyable.
——So by the way, the blushing and the like were all pretended by this fellow to show weakness, so that the Supreme Elder would let go and be bolder. Otherwise, he would not be able to enjoy the blessing of having many wives.
However, Liu Yuan was unwilling to get into any new love debts. This would not only be a trouble for him, but also a hardship for the girl.
Liu Yuan kept a certain distance from He Qingmeng, who was still disguising her identity, as he did not want to cause any more trouble. But who knew that this woman was from the demon clan? Perhaps it was because of what he said in the middle that she suddenly changed her mind and became interested in him.
It’s impossible to guard against it. It’s really impossible to guard against it.
I almost lost my life...
Liu Yuan was complaining in his heart. Ling Zhen raised her head timidly, still holding her head with her hands, and said cautiously, "Really?"
Xia Hou suddenly interrupted and said, "It's fake. He is lying to you."
