"If you want to extend your life temporarily, you can use the spirit of the mountain and the sea. If you want to recover, a drop of phoenix blood is enough."
The confidence on his face when he said this is still fresh in my mind.
Huang Quan suddenly felt that she didn't know enough about this guy. Meisheng's description only showed the tip of the iceberg. Her eyes flickered: "The Spirit of the Mountain and the Sea is already here, where should you go to find Phoenix?"
Hong Fu stared in a daze as the wrinkles on the young man's hands disappeared. It was not until Zhizhi took back the spirit core and Liu Yuan opened his eyes that he breathed a sigh of relief. Then Zhizhi, who was next to him, suddenly fainted.
Liu Yuan reached out and caught her in his arms. Zhizhi's petite body was not seriously injured, but her face was a little pale, probably because she had consumed too much energy and strength.
He handed Zhizhi to Lingyao, and did not forget to look back at Lingjie. As expected, he also treated him, but he did not receive the special treatment that Liu Yuan received. He was still in a coma, but his life was saved.
Hong Fu hugged his waist with joy and rubbed it, her eyes sparkling with tears in them.
The room was originally noisy, but it finally became quiet again because Liu Yuan woke up.
Xue Wei couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "Senior, what on earth happened?"
Liu Yuan shook his head and looked towards the door of the house: "Someone is coming."
Chapter 272: Shadowless Cliff × Infernal Affairs√
"somebody is coming."
As soon as Liu Yuan finished speaking, there was the sound of a door being pushed open and footsteps coming from the courtyard outside, followed by a mature female voice: "Alt Master, Holy Envoy, there was an abnormal fluctuation of spiritual power here just now, and there were signs that the formation was broken. May I ask if anyone has broken in?"
There are "only two" deputy altar masters in Wuyin Cliff. Han Tianyi is one, and the one coming now is the other - the former elder who has already resigned, Su Lanfeng.
This woman is not easy to deal with. In terms of scheming and scheming, she is certainly not comparable to Han Tianyi, the arrogant and domineering second-generation cultivator.
Xue Wei was a little nervous for a moment and couldn't help but look at the group of people in the room.
Liu Yuan held Zhizhi and placed her on the bed next to him. He gestured to Zhiying, and the girl took out the Mirror Moon Jade that had not been used for a long time, and instantly changed the appearance of everyone in the room.
The appearance of everyone in the room immediately dropped a level, and their clothes turned all black.
But Huang Quan's appearance remained unchanged.
...Although she was wearing a mask, it seemed to make no difference whether her appearance changed or not, but what Liu Yuan wanted now was her identity.
Huang Quan was confused for a moment, and then, when Liu Yuan came over with a smile, pushed her shoulder, and let her stand in the front and center of the crowd, sitting opposite the figure, her pupils shrank, and she immediately understood - this guy wanted to use her as a disguise and pretend to be someone from the Biluo Mansion!
Thinking of what Liu Yuan had said before, Huang Quan suddenly had a bad feeling.
But Liu Yuan had already cleared his throat, and deliberately used a low and sinister tone, snorting coldly, "Biluo Mansion has something to discuss with the Holy Envoy. When will it be your turn to ask about it?"
These words were actually a bit deliberate, but if the people outside the door became suspicious and insisted on coming in to check, that would be exactly what Liu Yuan wanted.
Because these people will witness the historic meeting between the Holy Envoy of the Demon Cult and the Lord of the Blue Sky Palace.
What an explosive scene! Any suspicion would be reduced to almost nothing under such an impact, and one might even start to worry about whether or not one would be silenced...
Xue Wei was stunned for a moment, then looked at the calm expressions of everyone in the room. Seeing his senior's calm demeanor even though he was seriously injured and had not yet recovered, the panic in his heart suddenly calmed down, and he even found himself a little funny just now.
Yes, why are you panicking? Not only are there the Holy Envoy of the Demon Cult, Taoist Lingyao, and the Lord of Biluo Palace here, but most importantly, there are seniors here!
Xue Wei, who was impressed by Liu Yuan early on, was a completely fanatical fan. He believed in Liu Yuan's decisions without a doubt and even glorified and deified his abilities.
Although I don’t know why the senior was injured so badly, but as long as the senior is here, there is nothing to be afraid of!
Despite this, Xue Wei still conducted a deep and painful reflection on his panic just now. He thought he had grown a lot, but now it seems that he is still not experienced enough and cannot remain calm even when facing a catastrophe.
Although he has now shown his potential in the Demon Sect and even gained some fame, he still relies on the special power of the "Thunder Art" given to him by his predecessor. He still needs to train his mentality more and not take it lightly.
Xue Wei had more and more respect for Liu Yuan in his heart. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the senior always gave him guidance and was like a life mentor.
At this moment, Liu Yuan didn't know that Xue Wei's imagination had become more and more outrageous, but from Xue Wei's expression when he saw him, he already knew a little bit.
But the more Xue Wei admires him, the less likely he will go astray in the Demon Sect, which is a good thing.
The footsteps outside the door became orderly from messy, and finally all stopped at the door.
Su Lanfeng walked a few steps forward. From the outside, this middle-aged beauty had a similar temperament to Hu Jiuniang, but she did not have that kind of natural charm. Instead, she was sharp and capable. She was wearing a dark blue tube top dress with a circle of fur on the collar, which made her look a little softer.
She was stunned after hearing Liu Yuan's words. Her expression suddenly became a little strange and bizarre. Her eyes were full of suspicion and a sense of absurdity. She seemed to think it was very ridiculous. But after pursing her lips, she still said, "Don't we need to report when people from Biluo Mansion come to my Demon Sect's territory? You are too arrogant. Besides, who are you to dare to speak first in front of the Holy Envoy..."
She frowned, slowly asked questions to delay time, and winked at the people next to her, ready to attack at any time.
And Su Lanfeng, just as Liu Yuan thought, was indeed suspicious. She held her breath, moved quietly, and looked inside - there were several windows next to the house that were not closed.
The cold male voice in the room laughed: "So that you who don't know the rules will know, I am Zhu Ren, the only designated guardian of the Lord of Huangquan Palace."
What is Zhu Ren...isn’t it the homonym of master?
People outside probably didn't think much of this fake name, but Huang Quan immediately thought of the meaning of this fake name. After all, she had just been forced by Ling Yao to admit that she was Liu Yuan's slave girl...
The Lord of Biluo Palace glared at Liu Yuan in shame. The latter, with the joy of having his revenge, gave a wicked smile and tightened the invisible rope in his hand.
He was forced into a desperate situation where his life was on the line, and it was all because of this woman. He had to take revenge.
Outside, Liu Yuan's strange choice of words made Su Lanfeng frown. He had never heard of the term "only designated guardian", but he actually dared to directly bring up the banner of Huangquan. He was really bold. There must be a limit to nonsense...
She said, "Even if you are the guardian of Biluo Mansion, you shouldn't speak first in front of the Holy Envoy. What's more... you are not a guardian at all!"
Su Lanfeng suddenly shouted, his expression extremely determined, and flew forward, the spiritual power in his body surged out, and he slammed the door open -
However, the scene in the room was not what she had imagined: "The Holy Envoy was held hostage, the Altar Master was killed, a sinister thug was stunned at first, and then attacked her with murderous light in his eyes." Instead, it was a very harmonious scene of a serious negotiation: "The Holy Envoy and the Palace Master sat facing each other, the new Altar Master stood behind the Holy Envoy, and the person who spoke stood behind the Palace Master, with maids standing around to serve him."
Wait, Palace Master???
Lidya Su stopped in astonishment and blurted out: "How is it possible?!"
Liu Yuan shouted loudly, continuing to play the role of Huang Quan's lackey: "How dare you! How dare you barge in without following the rules? Do you have no respect for my Biluo Mansion, or do you even ignore the Holy Envoy of your sect!"
He had just recovered from his injury and was just trying to maintain his strength, so he couldn't really make a move. But the intention was conveyed, and as long as the other party gave up when facing difficulty, he could just pick it up high and then put it down gently to show his power, and the matter of hiding temporarily in Wuyin Cliff would be settled.
Su Lanfeng's face really changed, and he saluted in panic, saying, "Holy Envoy, please forgive me, I was worried about your safety and was confused for a moment! Please spare my life!"
As he said this, he knelt on the ground tremblingly.
Liu Yuan immediately found something wrong. The first sentence this middle-aged beautiful woman said was not "The Holy Envoy", but "The Palace Master". There was a hint of shock and fear in her eyes when she looked at Huang Quan.
The people of the Demon Cult would never feel any fear towards the Lord of Biluo Palace. Now his deathly pale look is too much, and it seems like he is an undercover who has been discovered.
Liu Yuan subconsciously turned his head to look at Huang Quan. There was also some surprise in the latter's eyes. He nodded after meeting his inquiring gaze.
Liu Yuan was stunned.
Shit! There are three leaders, one main and two deputy leaders, and two of them are undercover agents. This is not Wuyin Cliff, it’s Wujiandao!
Chapter 273: Palace Master, Calm Down
Liu Yuan really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Unexpectedly, in such a small Wuyin Cliff, there was crammed a Saint Envoy who "regarded the thief as his father", an undercover agent who was planted in the Demon Cult by him a long time ago, and a deputy leader arranged by the Biluo Palace.
This is truly a meeting of spies - could the other deputy leader be Gin's reincarnation?
But this way, it actually saves trouble...
He originally wanted to hide in Wuyin Cliff for now, and arrange the next things after things became a little more stable. The most important thing was to take Huang Quan, who was "kidnapped" by him, to control Biluo Mansion, counterattack the other three halls of Yuxu Taoist Sect, and reverse public opinion.
The other three halls wanted to get the position of Yuxu's headmaster, and Liu Yuan also wanted Lingyao to be in charge of Yuxu. This time, the people of Yuxu dared to cooperate with Biluo Mansion to frame Lingyao, which was itself a huge black material. Coupled with the Yuxu Taoist Canon on Liu Yuan's body, as long as it was handled properly, it would not be difficult to push Lingyao to the top in one fell swoop.
Originally, he needed to put some thought into how to make Huang Quan appear naturally in front of the people in Biluo Mansion, but now he was sleepy and someone gave him a pillow.
Su Lanfeng was still kneeling on the ground trembling with fear. Apart from shouting a few words like "spare my life and forgiveness" just now, after realizing that the room was completely silent except for her voice and even the Holy Envoy was cold and silent, she didn't even dare to shout for help and just closed her eyes and waited for death.
In her opinion, the Holy Envoy refused to say a word, so he naturally felt that there was no need to waste time talking to a dead person. Isn't this the standard behavior of the Demon Cult?
But why didn’t the Holy Messenger speak?
Liu Yuan glanced at his daughter, and her figure was also looking at him. Her little face was expressionless, but her eyes were full of confusion, as if asking - what should I do?
Of course, it’s better for such a cute creature to sit and act cute.
Liu Yuan pretended to have received the message and said "yes" to Zhiying, then sneered and said, "The Holy Envoy is merciful and only intends to make you a slave for a month to atone for your sins. I heard that raising pig slaves is popular in your sect, so I'm sure Deputy Altar Master Su also knows what to do?"
Huang Quan was so angry that she almost laughed. This despicable bastard never forgot to remind her of her identity as a "slave girl" to arouse the anger and shame in her heart... and it turned out to be very effective.
Su Lanfeng's face turned pale. She didn't care why the Holy Envoy of the Demon Cult sent a message to the guardian of the Biluo Mansion instead of the other side's altar master Xue Wei. She just thought that Zhu Ren's status was really high. She said in a trembling voice: "Thank you for not killing me! I will serve you wholeheartedly!"
Having said that, this month should be a living hell for her, and what her fate will be will probably depend on her performance during this month.
Su Lanfeng was just grasping at a straw in despair, and a glimmer of hope rose in his heart, but he actually knelt down facing the figure and kissed the ground to show his determination.
Liu Yuan couldn't help but turn his head to look at Huang Quan. The undercover sent by Biluo Palace was so respectful and submissive to the Holy Envoy of the Demon Cult in front of him. He wondered if Huang Quan would feel betrayed.
But it is obvious that Huang Quan would not have such emotions just because of an undercover agent. She is in a high position and is not fully aware of the intricate undercover arrangements below. Otherwise, she would not have suddenly remembered after meeting the deputy leader that Biluo Mansion also has its own means of controlling such undercover agents.
Seeing that she turned a blind eye, Liu Yuan secretly sneered in his heart. He just wondered if the contrast between the subordinate being a slave in public and the master of the mansion being a slave in private would cause her to lose her composure in the days to come.
彘 means pig. As the name suggests, 彘 slaves are slaves of extremely low status. In the Demon Cult, whether it is testing medicine, swords or daily service, it is very common to play with or even cook and kill them at will. These 彘 slaves are nothing more than human-shaped objects to the people in the Demon Cult.
The crimes committed by the cult are too numerous to list, as can be seen from this.
But because the Holy Envoy looks like a delicate girl, even if she becomes a pig slave, at most she will only suffer some physical pain and will not be turned into a half-human, half-ghost state.
Su Lanfeng didn't think that his obvious exposure would go unnoticed. He thought that the Palace Master might have secretly pleaded for him. He was just crying with gratitude when he heard Liu Yuan say, "But Wuyin Cliff is in a dangerous place, and the deputy altar and the main position are indispensable. Therefore, you are allowed to retain your identity and only need to serve the Holy Envoy - send the people outside away."
This... sounds like it's a devaluation in name but an appreciation in reality.
Su Lanfeng was stunned for a moment, but immediately stood up and said yes repeatedly, went out to send away the guards he brought with him before returning to the house.
When she entered the room, Xue Wei was just coming out and left in a hurry. His eyes turned away from her in an instant, as if he didn't care about her, the deputy leader who had just been demoted.
As soon as Su Lanfeng entered the room, the door behind him slammed shut.
The purple-clothed man wearing a bronze ghost mask suddenly stood up, his dark and deep eyes flashed with a sinister coldness, and his androgynous voice carried a strong pressure: "Idiot!"
Although she did not use any spiritual power, this sound was enough to shock people.
Lidya Su’s face turned pale, and he knelt down again.
Liu Yuan felt pain in her knees for her, but there was nothing he could do. In order for the next steps to proceed smoothly, he first needed a role that could convey orders. It used to be Mei Sheng... but now these two were digging their own graves, so there was no one else for the time being.
He hypocritically advised: "Master, please calm down. The plan is more important now."
Huang Quan snorted coldly, glanced at him sideways, and slowly sat down.
She had to slow down. The rope was tightened just now, and she almost made her cry out. She had no choice but to stand up, and now she couldn't bear it anymore.
The word "plan" flashed through Su Lanfeng's mind. Logically, the Biluo Mansion should be cooperating with the group of powerful people in the Yuxu Taoist Sect, but the Lord of the Mansion appeared in the base of the Demon Cult and discussed some secret matters with the Demon Cult's Saint Envoy.
I'm afraid the outside world will not know this news.
But she, Su Lanfeng, and the trusted leader Xue Wei who came out of nowhere, if she was not mistaken, could there be a chance for them to participate.
Now that the Biluo Mansion was going to cooperate with the Demon Cult, the Holy Envoy gave her some face and did not execute her.
Su Lanfeng felt that he seemed to have grasped something, but he was not sure.
Liu Yuan has already gone on talking to himself: "It is a foregone conclusion that Ling Yao will lose the qualification to compete. The Yuxu Dao Sect is in turmoil. In my opinion, it is a good time to wipe out the Yuxu Dao Sect. The Palace Master is far away from the palace, and it is inconvenient to pass on the message without Mei Sheng. I think this deputy master can barely serve as a messenger."
Huang Quan was about to refute with a sarcastic look, but when he met Liu Yuan's warning eyes, he immediately said coldly with annoyance: "You pig, you are only fit to deliver messages."
Then, when she saw Liu Yuan's stunned look, she immediately realized that she was also scolding Mei Sheng, and scolding Mei Sheng was actually scolding herself.
Chapter 274: It is not easy to protect the Dharma
Huang Quan was choked for a moment, and the anger in his heart was also choked in his chest. He felt extremely uncomfortable and finally could only blame Liu Yuan for the slip of the tongue.
If he hadn't angered her first, how could she have made such a stupid mistake? !
The way Huang Quan glared at Liu Yuan fully expressed her thoughts.
However, Liu Yuan's speechless and helpless eyes were like looking at a cat that was chasing its tail and then biting it. He originally thought that it had caught its prey, but unexpectedly, he was the one who was in pain. That momentary look of surprise and confusion was really funny.
Liu Yuan was indeed almost amused. If he hadn't remembered that he was in front of Su Lanfeng and had to control his facial expression, he would have burst out laughing.
This mansion lord who has two souls in one with Meisheng seems to be quite interesting.
After stripping away the brutal impression of someone who kills people right away at the beginning, the similarities between Huang Quan and Mei Sheng also emerged - they are both very good at pitting themselves.
This guy seems to have a very "silly and cute" side, and at this moment he even seems more stupid than Hammer.
At least... the proud Chui Chui always thought that he was the only red-scaled dragon of noble status in the world. He praised himself every day, so how could he bear to scold himself?
So facing such a foolish and adorable mansion master, Liu Yuan's desire for revenge was reduced a lot. He shrugged his shoulders and continued to pretend to be gloomy, saying to the kneeling Su Lanfeng: "Why don't you thank the mansion master and the Holy Envoy for their mercy."
Su Lanfeng seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and he quickly kowtowed to express his gratitude. The despair in his heart instantly turned into hope. He felt a thrill like a roller coaster, and felt that his status in the future might be greatly improved.
From a spy to a messenger of communication between the two sides, this change of identity is simply a pleasant surprise.
