"Oh?" Duan Lanruo's expression did not change, and she smiled gently, "Same? Can you tell me how they get along with each other?"
Lingzhen has simple thoughts, but Chuichui has experienced the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" period. He lay on the ground and shook his ears vigilantly.
It was this gentle, steady, beautiful woman in front of him who had given advice to Liu Yuan and caused the conflict between Shen and Ye, and almost benefited from it.
Now this exact same tone can be said to be extremely scary.
Humph, she is not a fool. At a time like this, she should just sit back and watch the fight. Are you the only one who can sit on the mountain and watch the two tigers fight?
The demon dragon's vertical pupils sparkled with intelligence. It licked its little paws, then lay down quietly and continued to play with her feathers.
Chapter 301 Who was not once a fire mage?
Duan Lanruo had already had some suspicions, but she had not expected that the "Jiang Feng" in Ling Zhen's description would be such a treacherous person who would do anything to pursue women.
What do you mean by "using despicable means of coercion to obtain the body of Senior Sister"? That was Xiahou Cenyi! The Grand Elder of Tianbao Pavilion, one of the few great masters in the world who had reached the Tribulation Crossing Stage. Even if he was also in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, he couldn't have easily used any means to obtain her body, right?
But in Ling Zhen's words, Elder Xiahou, who had always been free and unrestrained, actually showed fear and submission to Liu Yuan. He looked as if he had become sad and decadent and unable to extricate himself, and seemed to... enjoy it, with a mixture of love and hate.
It's just like the behavior of the heroine in an X-anime.
Duan Lanruo knew without even thinking that this was not a scene of coercion at all, but rather solid evidence of an affair!
And what about "the eldest sister was forced to let her own junior sister sacrifice herself to the other party to save her life" - that cold Taoist nun who was known for her arrogance and innocence, a rare genius in a thousand years, was she really so unbearable despite her reputation?
Duan Lanruo knew clearly in her mind that it was probably a plan she had made with him, that is, to use a woman who was in the same "camp" as him and easy to control, to create her own "party" in Liu Yuan's backyard.
This is a silent war between wise people.
A woman's position in a man's heart is never determined by whether she defeats another woman, but by who is more popular in his heart.
Therefore, that night in Wanjian City, the young and naive Ye Ci Ke was completely defeated by Duan Lanruo in a head-on confrontation. He was even so angry that he came up with such an extreme method as the self-torture trick.
But now that there are so many people and there seem to be more and more signs - although Liu Yuan didn't say it explicitly, Duan Lanruo has already vaguely felt it - it has become quite difficult to tell the degree of liking.
So, there is a simplest way, to form an alliance!
I guess Taoist Lingyao also thinks so...
Although it may sound a bit utilitarian, in the final analysis, since Jun Xuan intends to support Ling Yao as the headmaster of Yuxu Sect, it means that she has the ability to control this sect. So the so-called "arrogant and self-righteous, without any worldly concerns" may just be the conjecture of those who do not understand Ling Yao.
It's just that these two people acted so recklessly, causing Lingzhen to have this misunderstanding, but it didn't make her feel disgusted. Instead, she was willing to do it. It seems that Xiaojunxuan's character is as good as ever.
Duan Lanruo pondered for a while, then smiled secretly and said with a worried expression: "So, Jun Xuan has actually become a bad boy? He was obviously not like this before. I always thought he was a good boy..."
Ling Zhen waved her hands and shook her head, blushing and hurriedly said, "No, no, no, it's not that scary. I felt it at that time. Senior Sister and the others didn't really feel coerced. It should be a joke. Besides, Mr. Jiang Feng was very gentle to Senior Sister. He was willing to stay there to protect her at the risk of his life. Yes, he was also very good to me and let Senior Chui Chui and I go first..."
The little girl's voice became lower and lower, her words became incoherent and she stammered.
Naturally, in the eyes of the Lord of Wanjian City, it was a very obvious sign of her having fallen. Of course, there were opportunities deliberately created by Ling Yao, but the most important thing was that from the very beginning, this little girl had a little girlish admiration for "Mr. Jiang Feng", a man who suddenly appeared and ranked second on the Mingjian List, had emotional entanglements with many women, and intimidated various sects in the secret realm of the Wu Di Cave, and had a very mysterious origin.
Although Liu Yuan himself was not aware of it, the Mingjianbang journal published by Qingxiefang had an extraordinary influence in the upper central world.
As the Lord of Wanjian City, Duan Lanruo could occasionally hear discussions when walking around the city. After the Hualing River incident broke out, the discussion became even more heated.
Discussions about characters like Ling Yao have long been commonplace, so gossip about the name "Jiang Feng" or "Liu Yuan" is more attractive. The label of romantic is sometimes a powerful tool to attract women.
"I see. I feel relieved then." Duan Lanruo took Ling Zhen's hand and said with a gentle smile, "But there is one thing wrong."
Ling Zhen immediately became nervous, as if he was caught by the law enforcement elder for being absent from morning class, and said, "What, what's wrong..."
Duan Lanruo said seriously: "Since you are ready to marry Xiaojunxuan, why do you still call him 'Mr. Jiang Feng'? This address is too unfamiliar. You should practice it in advance."
Ling Zhen's innocent and cute little face immediately turned red, like a small tomato, and felt that it was about to be ripe. However, the beautiful woman in front of her looked at her seriously and encouragingly, so she couldn't say no. After a long pause, she whispered in a daze: "...Husband, husband."
"Meow!" It's too corny! Even Hammer can't stand it!
The orange cat, who had been sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers, jumped up and glared at the two women in front of her. What husband? How could they joke like that? Too shameless! She was not envious... No, she didn't care about these things at all. She was a unique mount, and she was nothing like these stinky women!
When Lingzhen heard Chuichui's cat-like meow, she immediately cried out, blushed, said goodbye in a panic, and ran away.
Chui Chui looked at Ling Zhen's hurriedly leaving back, meowed, and pouted, "You are so young and you don't learn well..."
Duan Lanruo squatted down with a smile and said, "What? Is Chui Chui jealous too?"
Hammer let out a cold meow, raised his chin and said, "You are not my mounts, so I won't be jealous."
Does it mean that only people of the same level will get jealous?
Duan Lanruo looked at the "arrogant" Chui Chui turning around and leaving, and smiled. This orange cat transformed from a demon dragon looks silly and cute, but is actually very smart.
Although the eldest sister Ling Yao has unrivaled prestige among her peers, she is obviously lacking in affinity. This provides an opportunity... It is very easy to pull Ling Zhen to a neutral position.
The Lord of Wanjian City smiled indifferently, looked at the scenery of the city from afar, slowly walked to the table, and made himself a pot of tea.
After this matter is over, I will make contact with the senior sister through Ling Zhen. If they can unite, then if there are any troubles similar to what happened to Shen Sifan in the future, it will be much easier to solve them.
-
Liu Yuan, who had no idea that his harem was beginning to divide up power, was now squatting on a tree, squinting at the boundary markers and sect signs in the distance.
The three big characters "Lihuomen" were clearly written on the black stone tablet. Due to its age, the characters were slightly mottled.
Although it looks ordinary, as one of the six sects, it is not easy to enter the territory of Lihuo Sect. There are eight boundary markers in total, pressed on eight directions, forming a formation to block outsiders. If you have not practiced the Lihuo Sect's skills, you cannot pass through.
If outsiders want to enter, they must inform the higher-ups and be given a special token.
If you force your way in, the formation will be triggered.
"Is it this random point..." Liu Yuan glanced at the boundary marker, then switched to the Lihuomen's skills.
Who hasn't been a fire mage at one time or another?
Chapter 302: The FFF Group designates the Shangyang Branch, Lihuomen
As everyone knows, if you are single for twenty-five years, you are eligible to study magic, and if you are single for thirty years, you can become a magician, but only in the fire department, and the level is proportional to the age. The longer you are single, the more powerful the fireball you can make.
——Maybe it has something to do with hand speed.
Although Liu Yuan was only nineteen years old before he traveled through time, and hadn't celebrated his birthday yet after traveling through time, and even became single and a virgin less than a month after traveling through time, but - he felt the same way when he was single!
Among the most popular sects in the game "Shangyang", in addition to the Yuxu Taoist sect known for its handsomeness and the Xiangsi sect known for its dog food, there is another sect whose players can be said to be the most cohesive and the most capable of causing trouble, and that is the Lihuo sect.
In the background setting, the founder of the Lihuo Sect is named Feng Feifeng, a man who was once hurt by love.
However, there are countless people who have been hurt by love, and this man is unique among them. In his thousands of years of cultivating immortals, he has been abandoned and betrayed more than 600 times by the women he loved, including lovers, friends, companions, and so on.
It is said that each time it made him heartbroken, so he turned to practice hard and studied like crazy, especially in the fire-based Taoism, where he made rapid progress. He also got some opportunities from the Suzaku lineage, and finally achieved the great feat of transcending the tribulation period with only average qualifications, and founded the Lihuo Sect.
"Li Fire" does not mean staying away from fire. This "Li" refers to the "Li" position in the Eight Diagrams, that is, the south. The south is the position of the sun at noon and is yang. Among the Four Symbols, the south belongs to the fire of Bing and Ding and is protected by Suzaku.
Therefore, the Li position in the Eight Trigrams represents fire, that is, Li fire.
The Lihuo Sect has a close relationship with the Suzaku lineage. Even the location of the mountain gate was built on the place where a certain generation of phoenixes was reborn.
Before the Phoenix reaches Nirvana, it will find a safe place for itself, build a secret realm isolated from the world, and set up a sleight of hand formation called "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" to keep itself absolutely safe during the Nirvana process, and this has been the case for generations.
After the Phoenix completed its Nirvana and came out of the secret realm, the abandoned Nirvana secret realm automatically disappeared, and the area within a hundred miles was turned into a ruin ravaged by fire. At the same time, a large amount of fire-attributed spiritual power gathered, and it became a paradise for practitioners of fire-based Taoism.
But ordinary fire practitioners cannot withstand the poisonousness of the Phoenix Fire and instead bring disaster upon themselves. The Lihuo Sect is the only sect in the world that can resist the damage of fire by setting up formations and using its own powerful skills to practice with the Phoenix Fire.
However, these are not the main reasons why this sect has become the most popular one.
The most attractive point of the fire door is——
This sect has a special attack on players and even NPCs who have formed a relationship in the game...
Although it only adds 10% spell damage and continuous burning damage, it is very interesting for those who are interested.
By the way, among the rules that Feng Feifeng set for the Lihuo Sect, there were two provisions: members were not allowed to marry for life, and anyone found playing with others' feelings must be killed without mercy.
This shows the grief and anger in his heart...
However, sect rules are just sect rules after all. After a long period of development, some deviations will occur when they are implemented within the sect. On the Lihuo Sect's side, the sect has become more paranoid and strict. Now the entire sect is very unfriendly to couples, so much so that it is at odds with the Xiangsi Sect next door.
If the Acacia Sect was not one of the six sects in terms of strength and had not had a large number of supporters, the Lihuo Sect might have attacked them directly.
As a former single man, Liu Yuan was quite interested in this sect, especially before he officially started his strategy career. So he learned the sect's skills, but he couldn't go deeper.
"Hmm... I remember that during the Guanchao Tingjian Conference, one of the five people who shared a room with Lingyu was from the Lihuo Sect. I think his name was Wei Feiluan. In the end, he was ranked in the top 20 of the Mingjian Ranking. He should have returned to the sect now."
Liu Yuan touched his chin, hid his body, jumped down from the tree, and swaggered through the mountain protection formation of Lihuo Gate.
The red lines on the boundary marker flashed by, and a bright red line lit up on the ground. It could be vaguely seen that it was composed of tiny runes. When Liu Yuan stepped over it, he felt the temporarily ignited red fire in his dantian jump for a moment, and the slight burning sensation flashed by, and then the boundary marker and the flames in his body subsided together.
The most important point of the Lihuomen's practice is to cultivate one's own innate flame in the Dantian.
The most basic and common one is the Red Heart Jade Fire.
As for other fancy and messy fires, you have to rely on your own luck and the blessing of the sect.
"Feng Feifeng, Wei Feiluan, these names seem to have some connection, is she also a quest NPC?
I didn't have time to pay much attention to Lihuomen before, but I was wanted by Lihuomen players because I always posted cards. Sigh, we are both single, how can you turn your sword against me just because I have a paper wife? This is not reasonable at all. No wonder Lihuomen is wanted by everyone. This group of unreasonable people can't distinguish between enemies and friends..."
Liu Yuan muttered to himself as he began to find his way through the Lihuo Gate based on his meager memory.
The place he was going to now was the forbidden area of Lihuomen, the place where the previous phoenix was reborn.
【Qiyan Valley】
Although he did not have a deep impression of the Lihuo Sect, he still had a general understanding of the sect's internal structure, so it was not difficult to find it.
As mentioned before, there are many fake nests in the Nirvana Secret Realm, and the real Phoenix Nest is randomly generated among them. Of course, it is impossible for you to choose from hundreds of fake secret realms in the game.
This approach, which is what Yuan Hongli and others did, is the dumbest approach and is basically impossible to achieve.
The game has been simplified to about five random points. In some previous tasks, clues and signs of the real nest will be given, such as the appearance of some birds that are not normally noticed in the environment.
These birds are just ordinary birds, and immortal cultivators will not pay any attention to them. However, these ordinary birds are the first to sense the awakening of the Phoenix. It’s just that they cannot speak and have low intelligence, so they can only worship their "gods" from the closest distance.
This is what is called a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix.
What Liu Yuan asked the people in Biluo Mansion to search for was whether these abnormal situations had occurred and where they occurred.
He was not worried that the people in the Biluo Palace would find a trick to intercept the Phoenix Nirvana in advance, because he was only looking for it according to the reminder given in the game. He didn't know when the next Phoenix Nirvana would be, and he didn't know what kinds of birds would be heading towards it.
But the most important thing now is to find a way to enter the forbidden area. The forbidden area of Lihuomen is strictly guarded, and it is not easy to get in...
The entire structure of Lihuo Gate is in the shape of an "concave" character, with a large martial arts field in the middle and large-scale integrated buildings built against the mountain around it. The forbidden area is in the back mountain.
Liu Yuan walked around to the left side and went to the rooms belonging to the disciples of Lihuo Sect. The long and winding corridor was made of charred lightning-struck wood, which was specially designed for fire prevention. The shadows of the sycamore trees outside fell down, and with the swaying wind chimes on the eaves, the mottled light spots were very beautiful.
All the female disciples coming in and out here are dressed in green shirts, with cloud-like hair and flowery faces, and wafting fragrance. And because of the strict rules of the sect, without any thoughts of men and women, there is a natural innocence and coldness, which is completely opposite to the properties of the techniques they practice.
Only then did Liu Yuan remember that the residences of the male and female disciples of the Lihuo Sect were on both sides of the word "ao".
He was walking towards the girls' dormitory.
After walking a few steps, he saw several women walking out of the room in the distance. The one in front was Wei Feiluan, who had participated in the Mingjian Conference in Wanjian City with him.
"Senior Sister Wei, I heard that the Sect Master plans to open the forbidden area for this Fire Granting Ceremony and allow the best inner disciples to enter and choose the second life fire. Is this true?"
Wei Feiluan, who was dressed in a green shirt, tall, and pretty but with a stern face, nodded and said lightly: "The Sect Master does have such a plan."
Chapter 303: All the lecherous thieves in the world are the same
The female disciples of the Lihuo Sect all said enviously, "This time, the true successor seat must belong to Senior Sister Wei. If she obtains the Phoenix Fire as her second life fire, she can expect to form a pill before the age of 20. With the support of the sect's resources, her future is limitless. Even if she can't compare with Fairy Lingyao, it won't be difficult for her to enter the top ten of the Earth Ranking."
Facing the overwhelming praise, Wei Feiluan frowned and said, "Who can predict what will happen in the future? Just like Jiang Feng... No, I should call him Liu Yuan now."
Her eyes were filled with memories: "'Sun Chasing Green Shadow' Jiang Feng, was still a popular name on the Mingjian Ranking not long ago. Qingxie Fang even predicted that he would be a strong contender for the top three on the Earth Ranking in the future. But now he has been denounced as a demon by the Yuxu Taoist sect. After killing more than 80 Yuxu disciples on the Hualing River, he escaped with serious injuries. He and Ling Yao are nowhere to be found. The Yuxu Taoist sect does not know what the situation is now..."
Liu Yuan, who was hiding in the dark, was slightly stunned. He didn't expect to hear his name here.
Obviously, in Wei Feiluan's eyes, Jiang Feng was once a genius who emerged out of nowhere, but Liu Yuan later became a typical example of a rapid fall, so his evaluation was quite fair.
This is pertinent, mainly because the person was "denounced as a demon by the Yuxu Taoist sect" rather than "turned into a demon". It can be seen that Wei Feiluan has a relatively high grasp of the current situation, and by the way, he also expressed his lament about the changing times.
Liu Yuan felt that this girl, whom he met by chance, was not only a little serious, with that meticulous and stern look that was very much like the head teacher, but was also quite honest in her actions and behavior, so he nodded slightly.
However, Lihuo Sect is worthy of being Lihuo Sect. He immediately realized how bad its reputation is in the eyes of ordinary people.
"Jiang Feng? The Jiang Feng on the Ming Sword Ranking? I heard that when he was in Wanjian City, he was playing three women at the same time, making them fight for him, but in the end, nothing came of it."
"How can there be such a shameless person in this world?!"
"Not only that, Qingxie Fang once traced his origins. He already had two fiancées, but when the wedding date was approaching, Qinglian Jianzi came to hunt him down, so he fled to Wanjian City. His two wives were abandoned by him in the mortal kingdom on the border."
Liu Yuan twitched his lips. What a biased rumor! Although he left, it was to prevent Shen Sifan, who was obviously coming to kill him, from harming innocent people. Moreover, this statement was as if he had abandoned two mortal women and despised their origins!
Even if Gu Siyin was a mortal, she was a descendant of a powerful martial arts family. Chiyu Villa's status in the martial arts world could be said to be supreme. No one would dare to object even if she compared herself to a princess. What's more, she was now a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage and could be called a little genius.
