She sorted out Liu Yuan's clothes and said, "Are you going to the Nirvana Secret Realm next?"
Liu Yuan nodded and said, "I will go to the real Nirvana Secret Realm in a few days, but Zhiying and Huangquan need to cover up for me and go to another fake Phoenix Nest to cover up the noise of the real secret realm opening."
Ling Yao hummed, took the initiative to hug him, and said softly: "I'll wait for you to come back here."
-
The mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist in the Yuxu Mountain.
The crisis of the Demon Cult's sneak attack finally passed, but without the Demon Cult's threat as a delay, the Yuxu Taoist sect had no excuse when facing the joint impeachment of the seven major sects.
But Cangming Palace Master Zhi Chunqiu is worthy of his name Zhi Chunqiu. Although he has lost his position as Palace Master, his successor is still under his command. Under his secret instructions, he is still arguing with the other three palaces, leaving Danqing Palace, which is eager to overturn the verdict, speechless.
Fortunately, Sheng'e is no longer as weak as before, but the Yuxu Taoist sect is not as good as the Biluo Mansion in killing people cleanly and neatly. For someone with high status and reputation like Zhi Chunqiu, unless there is solid evidence, what they did before was already the limit... They cannot be brought down at all.
However, what Sheng'e is worried about now is not Zhi Chunqiu, but mainly his apprentice Lingyu and the child of the Xuanwu descendant that his apprentice brought with him.
"That child was entrusted by Lingyu's friend to join Yuxu Mountain. He had met the former head of our sect before and was taught the cultivation methods of Yuxu Taoism. He has a deep affinity with us..."
Sheng'e was still trying to persuade Old Man Yinghuan to give up the idea of poaching the Xuanwu relics from the Yuxu Taoist sect by appealing to his emotions and reason.
But unfortunately, the old man with white cataracts in his eyes pretended not to hear and walked forward on his own with his double-snake cane, and finally stopped in front of a yard.
Elder Yinghuan raised his head and asked: "Does the child live here?"
Sheng'e said nothing, but Lingyu behind him appeared and said angrily: "I can't let you take people away!"
"why?"
"This is, this is an agreement. I promised someone else."
Elder Yinghuan said, "I am here to ask for his opinion. If he disagrees, I will not force him."
Sheng'e thought to himself, "I don't believe you at all. When we meet you, you will definitely promise us all kinds of benefits and then trick us away. This old monster who has lived for who knows how many years has no idea how to be shameless."
But the situation was stronger than the person, so he could only lead the way and bring old man Yinghuan into the yard.
This is the courtyard prepared for inner disciples, which fully demonstrates how much Sheng'e values Gu Chang.
Whether in terms of character or talent for cultivation, Gu Chang is worthy of being the big boss in the future. It is no exaggeration to say that he makes rapid progress. Now he is at the peak of foundation building and is about to prepare for a breakthrough to the Jindan stage.
When Elder Ying Huan saw the "girl" who was seriously practicing swordsmanship in the yard, he laughed: "Haha, young people nowadays are really..."
Sheng'e was a little confused when he heard his strange laugh, but he still went up to stop Gu Chang, explained the situation, and let him choose whether to stay or leave.
Elder Yinghuan moved out of the Zhanhai Tower, and sure enough, there were a bunch of rare treasures and peerless skills, which were extremely tempting.
But Gu Chang was wondering, Zhanhai Tower? Isn't that the place where my master often fools his wives?
However, although he still had doubts in his heart, he had promised Senior Ding Huan in the past, so he could not break his promise. Faced with this temptation, which was comparable to a million taels of gold for a layman, he shook his head decisively and said, "Sorry, Senior, I still hope to stay in Yuxu Dao Sect."
Sheng'e heaved a sigh of relief, feeling very relieved. At the same time, he was worried whether Elder Yinghuan would be angry. However, the situation was unexpected. Instead of being angry, the old man smiled and said, "It seems that you are indeed destined to be with Yuxu. With such a heart, you are not afraid of being buried. I have a sword here, which I will give to you as an encouragement."
He took out a sharp long sword of azure blue and gave it to Gu Chang: "This sword is called 'Blue Sky'. The road is like the blue sky, and you will get the golden elixir after traveling through it."
Gu Chang took it with both hands.
Sheng'e was a little puzzled. Old Man Yinghuan had been so stubborn before, but suddenly he changed his mind and let go.
Elder Yinghuan withdrew his hand and said leisurely, "Master Sheng'e, I will probably be away for a few days."
Sheng'e's heart tightened. Could he still be angry?
Elder Yinghuan seemed to see through his thoughts and said, "Don't worry, I will be back in three days at most."
Sheng'e hesitated and asked, "Where is the messenger going?"
Elder Yinghuan: "Chiyu Villa."
Chapter 299: Senior Chui Chui's Experience and Guidance on "Dueling Jiang Feng"
Wanjian City.
When Duan Lanruo opened the door, she saw the orange cat jump up and try to stretch out its little paws to grab the colorful feathers in the girl's hand.
The orange cat has big round eyes, a soft and cute body, and a flexible tail. The girl next to it has almond eyes and rosy cheeks, and is pure and cute. She looks pretty and charming, and she squats on the ground with a serious expression.
"Meow!"
The hammer made a vicious sound, and its claws brushed against the light feathers before landing on the ground with a thud, circling around and starting over again.
Lingzhen has found the fun of teasing cats. Her bright eyes reflect the cute appearance of the orange cat. There is a smile of enjoyment and satisfaction on the corner of her mouth, and her gaze as she stares at the orange cat is full of "kindness".
She watched Chui Chui persevering over and over again, and muttered softly, "Senior Chui Chui, you have practiced more than a hundred times, do you want to continue?"
Ling Zhen had already seen the true form of this cute little kitten in front of her on the Hualing River. No matter how silly and cute she was, she was actually a genuine ferocious monster, a red-scaled evil dragon. She could not even eat one human that she disliked.
Later, after devouring the dragon shadow in the Hualing River, it directly advanced to the fusion stage and became a peerless demon.
With this level, in the demon country in the northwest of Mohai, he would definitely be a big shot at the level of the demon king. It is natural for a small character like Lingzhen to call him senior, not to mention that Chui Chui once saved her life.
It’s just that the childish name “Chui Chui”, coupled with the serious title of “senior”, sounds funny no matter how you listen to it.
Chui Chui stopped and said thoughtfully, "It's already over a hundred times, that's enough, just practice another hundred times until you're proficient."
Ling Zhen said "oh" and asked weakly, "Does Mr. Jiang Feng really like this?"
When Chui Chui heard this, he immediately said with a smug look on his face: "Of course he likes it! Otherwise, how do you think a little kitty like me, who is good for nothing except being cute, can live well under the hands of such a big devil! I even let him rub my shoulders and legs!"
Lingzhen blinked and said, "Big Devil?"
No, let’s not talk about the name issue first. You are not a “little cat with nothing to do but cute”! You are clearly a big and scary monster who eats people without leaving any bones!
Chui Chui seemed to recall the fear of being dominated, and said seriously: "Yes, he is very scary. At that time, I had just been released, and he took advantage of my unpreparedness and tricked me into signing a soul contract. He also forced me to become what I am now. If I don't change, he will kill me. Do you think I am willing? I used to be so majestic, a dignified Red Cloud Flowing Scale Dragon... but now I have become a pet."
No, you are obviously willing to do so and seem to be enjoying it.
Lingzhen looked at the colorful feathers in her hand and recalled the scene of Senior Chui Chui earnestly practicing the technique of being cute, and thought that it would be better for her not to say anything... But, she had to admit, it was indeed very cute.
However, it sounds like... Mr. Jiang Feng is indeed a very bad person.
Not long ago, at the joint efforts of her eldest sister and the grand elder of Tianbao Pavilion, she was forced to become his countless concubines. Such a thing has already happened. Even the eldest sister and the grand elder were controlled by him and became his accomplices. It can be seen how terrible he is.
Ling Zhen, who was originally a little confused about what happened on the Hualing River, now established an image of a bad person in Chui Chui's mouth again. However, she is destined to be Mr. Jiang Feng's person now, and can only be an accomplice to the tiger.
Ling Zhen said seriously on his pretty face, "Then Senior Chui Chui, let's continue practicing. Although Mr. Jiang Feng is very bad and scary, he is still very gentle when it comes to things that belong to him."
Chui Chui raised his head, shook his tail, and said in a tone of an experienced person: "Of course, he is very selfish, and of course he will treat his things well, so you must work hard to make him like it, otherwise he will be bullied terribly."
The orange cat stood up half of its body, placed its little paws on Lingzhen's knees, and raised one hand to touch Lingzhen's head.
Lingzhen looked serious, clenched his fists, nodded and said "hmm".
This scene is very interesting, warm, funny, and with a hint of inexplicable heroism.
The Lord of Wanjian City was stunned at first, then he couldn't help but laughed with his hands covering his mouth.
Ling Zhen then noticed Duan Lanruo standing at the door. He looked at the graceful and beautiful woman with a somewhat embarrassed look. He cried out and quickly stood up and said, "City Lord, you are here..."
Duan Lanruo's eyes were gentle. She walked forward to help Lingzhen up, straightened her hair, and said with a smile: "Well, I came to see you guys by the way. How are your injuries recovering?"
Ling Zhen replied, "I'm almost fully recovered. Mr. Jiang Feng asked us to leave early, so I didn't suffer any serious injuries."
She secretly glanced at Duan Lanruo, and felt in her heart that the city lord had an irresistible maternal love, but such a gentle and beautiful woman like an orchid in the valley had been imprisoned by Mr. Jiang Feng in the name of "stepmother".
Ling Zhen has been in the City Lord's Mansion for some time and has not been able to contact anyone else, but has become familiar with the secret guards. Naturally, he has heard all kinds of gossip about Jiang Feng's deeds.
It was more exciting than she had imagined...
"That's good." Duan Lanruo looked at Chui Chui, who was lying on the ground in a cute and innocent pose, and said with a smile: "I just received something from the people in Biluo Mansion."
Ling Zhen asked doubtfully: "...Biluo Mansion?"
Duan Lanruo nodded and took out a box.
Of course, this is not a secret mechanism box like the Netherworld Lock that is used exclusively for information transmission in the Biluo Mansion, but is made based on the secret mechanism used by the secret guards in the City Lord's Mansion.
The assassin from Biluo Mansion who came to deliver the letter was very respectful. He left after delivering it and said that it was sent by the guardian and must be delivered to the hands of the Lord of Wanjian City.
Inside the box was a handwritten secret book with a patched cover and the words "Xisui Jing" written on it, as well as several letters to different people.
Naturally, one of the letters was addressed to Duan Lanruo, first reporting his safety, and then explaining that the secret book was originally promised to be given to a mortal warrior named Fu Huan in Chiyu Villa. The rest were explanations of his current situation, and Duan Lanruo was entrusted to deliver the remaining letters to Shuiyuewu and Chiyu Villa.
Ling Zhen didn't know the inside story, but he knew what kind of organization the Biluo Mansion was - a well-known evil sect in the Jidonghai, and the largest killer group in the Upper Central Realm, notorious.
This box from Biluo Mansion was sent by a guardian named "Zhu Ren", but the things inside were clearly from Liu Yuan or Mr. Jiang Feng, whom they were just discussing. However, the letter said that they were currently at the Wuyin Cliff branch of the Demon Cult.
How come he became the guardian of Biluo Palace again?
Ling Zhen's little head was filled with question marks, and in the end he could only come to the conclusion that this man was indeed extremely bad, so he could work part-time as a guardian in the Biluo Palace and enter and exit the Demon Cult's branch temples freely.
Chapter 300: Lady's Style City Lord Duan
"It's really disturbing."
Duan Lanruo sighed quietly. If she had helped Liu Yuan plot against Shen and Ye in Wanjian City, and had finally participated in the battle for Liu Yuan, it was a kind of fun and excitement, just like playing with her own children. But now, it was a kind of worry and fear of missing her son who had left home, and being afraid that something might happen to him.
In Wanjian City, although it seemed extremely dangerous, as a woman's intuition, she always believed in her heart that Shen Sifan and Ye Ci Ke would not harm Liu Yuan. However, starting from the collapse of the snow mountain and the attack of the Demon Cult, things took a turn for the worse, until Liu Yuan's figure disappeared in the river tide.
At one point, Duan Lanruo felt as if her heart had been torn out.
When Shen Sifan was in despair by the Bailong River, she, as the lord of Wanjian City, was comforting the people in the city and trying to remain calm, but the torment and worry in her heart was no less than that of Shen Sifan or Ye Ci Ke who was facing the pressure from his mother.
Unexpectedly, after finally waiting for news about Liu Yuan, I got the "bad news" that he appeared in the secret realm of the Emperor Wu Cave and was taken away by the senior sister of the Yuxu Taoist sect because she was suspected of being a demon.
If things had come to this, she could still comfort herself because Lingyao was a woman. Perhaps it was another incident caused by jealousy. Later, Lingyao and Liu Yuan were tied up together as remnants of the demon clan and accomplices of the demon clan. When the Yuxu Taoist sect attempted to issue a wanted order, the Lord of Wanjian City, who was always known for his calmness and experience, crushed a teacup on the spot.
I thought that after so many years, she wouldn't have such unforgettable, heart-wrenching emotions again, but when she realized that she was ready to take people and rush over to save people, she realized how heavy this emotion was.
After calming down a little, Duan Lanruo began to search for information about Liu Yuan's current condition, while preparing to use her own power to take revenge on the Yuxu Taoist Sect.
At that time, the mother and daughter of the Ye family were still in Wanjian City. The Xuanyin Family and Jiange quickly formed an alliance within a quarter of an hour, which became the basic base for the subsequent "Seven Factions Impeachment".
The news that Liu Yuan and Ling Yao were missing certainly made people feel relieved, but later when Duan Lanruo used her connections to seek help from other sects, she thought she would encounter great obstacles, but unexpectedly...
Most of the sects were surprisingly quite successful.
Apart from Jiange and Xuanyin Family, Taiqing Pavilion has the Qinglian Sword Master, and Xinjian Sect has the long-famous next leader Cui Ting. These are all traceable. However, it is a bit puzzling why the remaining three families - Wugui Family, Xiangsi Sect and Gujiu Peak - agreed to cooperate so quickly.
Aristocratic families have never easily participated in the struggles between sects. A situation like the Xuanyin family's is rare and can be called an unprecedented miracle. The Wuqiu family also has no grudges against the Yuxu Taoist sect...so their motives are very difficult to guess.
The Acacia Sect and Gujiu Peak are relatively easier to guess... after all, there are the examples of the previous three sects.
However, this is also the most puzzling part.
Acacia Sect, "Enter my Acacia Sect, and you will know my lovesickness pain." As the name suggests, this sect is a sect that focuses on dual cultivation. Unlike the evil sects like Jile Sect that commit rape and looting, this sect is an upright cultivation method with a fixed Taoist partner.
The more distinctive one is the "Guiyuan Mingxin Gong" of Xiangsi Sect, which emphasizes the yin and yang of the mentality, and can break, extract and harmonize the yin and yang system of the human body. It does not require that the Taoist partners practicing dual cultivation must be a man and a woman.
Although the process is much more complicated, the efficiency is no lower than the traditional method.
Therefore, the members of this sect are quite evil in every sense.
——To be honest, Liu Yuan once thought that this sect was created by the game makers as a gimmick.
And it was such a sect that was full of the sour smell of love, but they actually agreed to form an alliance so quickly, which made Duan Lanruo fall into deep thought.
In addition, Gujiu Peak is a sect with the same origin as Zhiku Temple. Simply put, it is a nunnery.
But when I think about Liu Yuan, who has no taboos in his mind, things seem to become very reasonable.
"City Lord Duan, what's the situation now?"
Ling Zhen looked at Duan Lanruo's solemn expression and the letter in her hand nervously.
Duan Lanruo came back to her senses, shook her head and smiled, "It's okay, he wrote to let us know he's safe, and to inform us to keep up the pressure, he's already prepared a 'good show', just waiting for those hypocritical people in Yuxu Dao Sect to make desperate moves... Well, I'm not referring to those respectable seniors and cute kids like Xiao Lingzhen."
The Lord of Wanjian City paused and added midway.
Ling Zhen quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, Ling Zhen knows what the city lord means. The palace master and his men really went too far this time." She said with some disappointment, "They even want to harm my senior sister. It's really..."
This child is so cute, and seems to be a mermaid. These fish are very fresh in Zhongzhou. No wonder Xiaojun Xuan wants to take action.
Duan Lanruo stretched out her hand and pinched Ling Zhen's fair and tender face, giving a friendly smile. She waved to the secret guards and ordered them to deliver the letter and secret book in their hands to Shuiyuewu and Chiyu Villa. She said softly, "Now, Jun Xuan is going to the Nirvana Secret Realm to find Phoenix blood to heal his wounds. What we can do now is to try our best to help him and wait patiently. This is what a good wife should do."
Ling Zhen nodded shyly, because the Lord of Wanjian City had already stated that her identity was Liu Junxuan's concubine, but she had joined the family much earlier, so Ling Zhen regarded her as a "senior".
"As for jealousy, just treat it as a boudoir hobby. If you do it in front of others, it will bring shame to your husband's family."
Ling Zhen nodded vigorously with a confused look on his face, admiring the mature demeanor of this lady. He almost took notes. Even Chui Chui beside him secretly pricked up his ears and muttered something.
The city lord spoke gently and kindly for a while, then changed the subject and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, how did your eldest sister know Jun Xuan? He was willing to risk his life to help her plan for the throne of the headmaster. I haven't left Wanjian City for hundreds of years, and I haven't seen Yuxu Hanyan's demeanor, but I heard that she is aloof and arrogant, and has no dust in her eyes. I am really surprised that Jun Xuan can become her close friend."
Ling Zhen shook his head violently, then hesitated and said, "...Not really, Senior Sister, and the Grand Elder of Tianbao Pavilion, are actually the same as the City Lord."
