Liu Yuan curled his lips and watched the black robe shrink quickly, leaving only a wisp of green smoke.
This old fellow’s cultivation level is not very high, but relying on his racial advantages and years of training, he could be so fast.
I think he was too confident in his speed, which made Liu Yuan catch him easily.
"All right……"
As soon as Liu Yuan dealt with the problem, Ling Yao dodged in front of him.
The nun summoned the demon-subduing sword that had just fallen, put two fingers together, and purple-blue lightning flashed, looking as if she was facing a formidable enemy.
Liu Yuan was confused and looked up.
In the rainstorm, a purple-clothed figure stood vaguely in the air, with a hideous bronze ghost mask covering its face, but its graceful figure exuded a charming temperament.
Above that person's head, a full progress bar appeared.
-50 blood feud!
Chapter 260: God is going to kill me?
Since Liu Yuan traveled through time and space for so many days, he had frequently come into contact with characters he had conquered before, and he often encountered some not-so-good situations. He had almost developed a conditioned reflex -
Before meeting the person, read his profile first.
He looked over from afar and saw the eye-catching progress bar at first sight. The entire progress bar was red to black, and the border was covered in blood, which was shocking to look at.
It is very different from the original ink-style peach color and floating peach petals special effects.
The graceful figure in purple clothes and a ghost mask stood in the air, motionless in the rain, and her figure was a little blurry. Only behind the hideous bronze ghost mask, a pair of charming and moving green eyes were clear. It was a pity that the luster like glass was bursting with fierce hatred, not intoxicating gentle love...
To be honest, Liu Yuan had never seen such a scene before.
Even in the original game, he had never managed to reduce an NPC's favorability to negative the maximum value. The most he could get was a slight level of hatred like -10 or -20. If he met one while walking on the road, he might be attacked, but he would be fine if he defeated him.
As for -50, blood feud...
Except for some players who play games just for the feeling of recklessness that is different from the real world, in Shangyang, a game with a high degree of freedom, NPCs are not treated as individuals. Those who enjoy destruction will reduce the favorability of NPCs to the bottom. However, the punishment mechanism in the game is also very serious. After more than three serious incidents, it is basically impossible to move forward in the game and the account can only be deleted.
Under normal circumstances, it is rare to see a favorability level below -30.
The favorability bar has a positive and a negative side, but only one side will be displayed in the game, either positive or negative.
And now, Liu Yuan could only think of one possibility - the favorability that was originally at full value had reversed!
But then two questions arise. First, who reversed? Second, how did it reverse?
At this moment, there was only one name in Liu Yuan's mind.
At this moment, those who intended to compete for the position of the headmaster in the three halls of Yuxu Taoism, joined forces with Biluo Mansion to attack Lingyao, who was originally the most likely to become the next headmaster. However, the previous attack went far beyond the line of Yuxu Taoism as the leader of the righteous way, and those disciples who were controlled had no other idea except that Biluo Mansion was interfering.
Before that, when Liu Yuan was checking the illustrations, he discovered a character who had inexplicably disappeared.
Coincidentally, it belongs to the power of Biluo Mansion.
Charming!
Originally, she was the messenger in Biluo Mansion who was specifically responsible for delivering orders for the Mansion Lord "Huangquan". She had no real power but a transcendent status, and she behaved well but had an arrogant temper. Everyone in Biluo Mansion just treated her as a puppet tool, respecting her on the surface but not caring much about her in their hearts.
She was a beautiful, tall, and somewhat rebellious mixed-race woman with red hair and blue eyes, which were only seen in the southern barbarian tribes. She acted arrogantly and unscrupulously in a gloomy and cold-blooded sect like the Biluo Mansion. However, because of this, no one thought of dealing with her, and only regarded her as a brainless vase with big breasts.
Besides, she also holds the "right" to meet the master of the mansion. Since she has no real power and does not interfere with their work, they will naturally serve her well.
But the purple-clothed woman in front of him, although she did have red hair and blue eyes, and her figure and temperament were consistent with Meisheng, she clearly exuded an extremely dangerous aura. Her spiritual power was restrained, but her power was deep and sinister, as solemn and terrifying as the opening of the Nine Netherworld. The rain around her automatically stagnated and then instantly dispersed into water vapor, causing a burst of rain and fog to float around. The clouds with thunder and lightning above seemed to be cheering for her and became her background.
Ling Yao stood in front of Liu Yuan, her long black hair fell down, slightly wet by the rain, and fluttered in the wind. Liu Yuan then realized that the hairband on her head had broken off and was flying far away. It should be that the purple-clothed man opposite had already attacked, but Ling Yao noticed it. She blocked the attack, but her hairband was torn off.
Senior Sister Yuxu's face was solemn, her brows were furrowed, and she looked a little puzzled, but she didn't dare to relax her movements at all. She said in a deep voice: "Huangquan?"
She put two fingers together and slashed across the edge of the Demon-Subduing Sword. Blue-purple electric snakes gathered and jumped. She had already used the Yuxu Taoist's unique skill, which was also the most powerful Taoist method, "Purple Sky Divine Thunder Art". This method was the most difficult to learn, but it was top-notch in terms of power.
Even the three elders just now had not yet mastered their cultivation, otherwise, in this kind of thunderstorm weather, the Purple Sky Divine Thunder Art would be most suitable. If the timing was right, it could even be comparable to a heavenly calamity, so why wouldn't they use it.
Liu Yuan held his breath, his whole body tense, looking at the purple-clothed man opposite him. While waiting for an answer, he calculated how long his Blood Burning Pill could last.
But he had already had some guesses earlier, and now he just needed to verify them.
And the facts are almost in sight.
Why did Ling Yao think that the purple-clothed man opposite was the elusive "Yellow Spring" Palace Master? Because of that bronze ghost mask!
That is the mask that the legendary "Huang Quan" will never take off. All sects and schools must have a portrait of Huang Quan. Although there is no real appearance, there is no way to mistake that iconic ghost face.
The purple-clothed man's eyes still revealed a cold hatred and condescending disgust. The voice under the mask was hoarse and rough, and it was impossible to distinguish between men and women, but it was clearly audible through the rain. She ignored Ling Yao and just looked at the bodies that were swept away and drowned on the river surface. She sneered: "A bunch of trash."
He stretched out his hand and crushed the corpses into powder.
She withdrew her hand as if she were squeezing a few ants to death, looked at Liu Yuan, and said to herself: "I didn't intend to show up here. I was only waiting for you to be ruined and deserted by everyone before I killed you with my own hands. I didn't expect that you have actually turned into a demon."
Liu Yuan laughed awkwardly twice, thinking that the tone did not sound coquettish.
On the contrary...even very strange.
At least, Meisheng would never refer to herself as "this seat". She usually likes to call herself "Meisheng", as if she is emphasizing her own name.
Another thing is that this doesn't seem like someone who turns hate from love.
Because she didn't even look at Ling Yao!
Liu Yuan, who already had experience, could find some examples from Shen Sifan. When she forced Liu Yuan to choose between the two in Wanjian City, she was jealous. No matter how much Mei Sheng hated Ling Yao, it was impossible for her to have no feelings at all towards Ling Yao who "stole" her man. But the man in purple in front of him didn't even look at her.
Liu Yuan's doubts grew deeper and deeper, and he did not explain the coexistence of spiritual power and demonic energy in his body. At this time, the other party had no patience to listen to this. Interrupting the conversation was a very dangerous thing. If someone was impatient, he might just kill Liu Yuan and take his head.
The negative value of favorability should not be underestimated.
Now, this guy is just saying nonsense, because the aura on her body is already so strong that it is absolutely impossible to defeat. The disparity in strength between the two sides is so great that the surrounding aura is all shrouded. Once a fight occurs, there is only one way to die. Liu Yuan has no idea of resisting, maneuvering or persuading.
Just as a positive full value favorability is difficult to lower, a negative full value favorability will not be shaken by words.
The only chance now is to escape.
While the effect of the Blood Burning Pill has not worn off yet...
"But a quarter of an hour, isn't that too much?" Liu Yuan smiled bitterly in his heart. "Even if I run at my maximum speed, I can only escape a few thousand miles. I'm afraid I'll die of exhaustion before I leave this guy's sensing range."
The wind and rain beat against his skin, bringing chills that penetrated his bones, just like the chill in his heart at the moment.
Could it be that God wants to kill me?
Chapter 261: Palace Master, can you help me convey a message...
Liu Yuan took a deep breath. Perhaps it was because the situation was too bad, or maybe it was because his heart had been trained. Apart from feeling a chill in his heart, he was not panicked at all.
"What's the point of panicking..." Liu Yuan was desperate. "A genuine Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivator is here. Even if he has the slightest thought about it, he can scatter my ashes. What's the point of panicking?"
But it was obvious that the purple-clothed man "Huang Quan" did not intend to kill Liu Yuan right now.
Judging from her current words, her original plan was to let the killer Feng Gui use the "Demon Casting" dagger to turn Liu Yuan into a demon.
When Liu Yuan became a demon who was hated by everyone, had nowhere to go and was deserted by his friends and relatives, and she had admired his despair enough, she would kill him.
The depth of her hatred for Liu Yuan and the degree to which her favorability towards him dropped below the maximum value can be seen from this method.
But Liu Yuan has now really turned into a "demon", which instantly disrupted her plans, so she has to show up in person.
Liu Yuan was sure that even the Lord of Biluo Mansion would be surprised and curious about the fact that someone he once knew suddenly turned into a demon.
Liu Yuan didn't believe that she showed up early without any surprise or doubt, especially since she had originally planned to turn Liu Yuan into a demon.
In other words, she is most likely willing to listen to Liu Yuan's "dying words".
Liu Yuan accepted the identity of the demon and also wanted to make use of it.
When he first faced Ning Xiangrong's questioning, he had already used the undercover identity that Zhan Hailou had put into the Demon Cult. Now adding the setting of being an undercover in the demon clan would not be a big deal.
After gradually getting used to the coolness on his body, Liu Yuan felt like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. He figured that he would die anyway, so he might as well give it a try. He raised his head and said with a smile, "I never thought that a nobody like me, Liu Yuan, would trouble the dignified Lord of the Biluo Mansion to kill me personally."
At least, Ling Yao can survive.
As he spoke, he moved behind Ling Yao and said, "But the Palace Master must think clearly this time. Although I am just a weak, pitiful, helpless and unknown person, but..."
"But there are many women who are willing to give everything for you and have a high status and cultivation."
Huang Quan sneered, and swept his eyes over the nervous Ling Yao, as if he was looking at a fool who was deceived by a scumbag, and said: "A nobody who ranks second on the Mingjian Ranking, and is also the son of the Wanjian City and the son-in-law of the Xuanyin Family? You are not very good at other things, but you are really good at playing with women's feelings. No wonder..."
She paused, her voice softened at the end, and then she said calmly with her hands behind her back, "If they want to kill you, then kill them. Let them come. I will wake them up one by one. If they refuse to change their ways, I will make a few more desperate couples for you."
As an evil sect, Biluo Mansion has always acted eccentrically, so it is natural that Huang Quan would have such a domineering and cruel character, but Liu Yuan vaguely tasted a somewhat coquettish tone from his voice.
That’s right…the four words “the desperate couple” have a certain tsundere flavor.
Liu Yuan suppressed the thoughts in his mind, cleared his throat, and decided to make a complete fool of himself. He said, "Then... Yuxu Dao Sect, Luoshengtian, Youmingya, Wanjian City, Tianbao Pavilion, the four great families, Qingxie Fang, Baishan Courtyard, Nanhuang Beiman, the two demon mermaid tribes, and even Zhanhai Tower... What if they all come to the Biluo Mansion?"
There were all kinds of names, big and small, and a series of names of forces were listed like the names of dishes. Huang Quan was silent after hearing this and said, "You are really bold. No wonder you even dared to attack the assassins in my Biluo Mansion."
Of course, she was referring to Bie Xiaoshuang and Wen Luxue... Damn, she even knew this.
Liu Yuan's expression remained unchanged: "Thank you for the compliment..."
Huang Quan smiled again and said, "But you still dare to include Yuxu Dao Sect, you are really stupid. Do you think that after today, your little lover can still leave Hualing River alive and become the headmaster to avenge you? Even if she escapes by chance, the position of the headmaster will only be decided among the other three halls. This is already destined."
Ling Yao tightly grasped the Demon-Subduing Sword, lightning flashed on the sword, and she was extremely anxious. She knew that the Blood-Burning Pill in Liu Yuan's body would not last long. That was why Huang Quan spoke so slowly. She wanted to wait until Liu Yuan was exhausted, and then reap his most desperate moment.
Senior Sister Yuxu was just about to overdraw her cultivation to summon a heavenly thunder tribulation. This method was the best way to fight against a tribulation period, because heavenly thunder tribulations would attract each other. If she could trigger the thunder tribulation on Huang Quan, that would be the best thing.
At this time, Liu Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "What does it matter? I have more than one woman in Yuxu Dao Sect. It doesn't matter if she dies. I wish I had a beauty to be buried with me. Living and dying together, it would be wonderful. But you have to be careful, Lord of the Palace. What if the Biluo Palace supports a person who is determined to endure and avenge her husband? That would be terrible."
Ling Yao's movements paused, and he suddenly turned around to look at Liu Yuan, his sword-holding hand trembling slightly.
When Liu Yuan said the four words "determined to endure and avenge her husband", his tone was slightly slower, as if he was persuading her, but his tone was subtle and unquestionable.
The long hair of the cold and fairy-like nun was loose, and a few slightly wet strands stuck to her fair cheeks. Her expression showed a loss of soul and disbelief, as she had just shed tears not long ago.
Huang Quan's beautiful green eyes suddenly widened, and then he laughed: "I was thinking about how much you love her, it turns out, it's the same... Living together and dying together, are you worthy of this sentence?"
Her tone suddenly turned cold. She raised her hand and spread her five fingers, vaguely covering Liu Yuan's figure, and said with disgust: "You have seen the true face of this person. So many sects and even tribes are just treating affection as a game, and they are only greedy for beauty. They have no sincerity at all. When they are about to die, they still want to drag someone to be buried with them. It's not a pity to die!"
Two more tear marks crossed Ling Yao's face and he closed his eyes: "Yes, yes... I saw it clearly."
Liu Yuan was surprised to see that the progress bar above Ling Yao's head had turned locked, and thought that he had actually gained something unexpected at this time.
Liu Yuan was still very sensitive to people's emotional changes. Huang Quan's hatred for him was deep in his bones, and his eyes were almost blazing with anger. He wished to cut him into pieces immediately and then grind his bones to scatter ashes, but he didn't care much about Ling Yao.
However, due to her hatred towards Liu Yuan, if she felt that Liu Yuan cared about Ling Yao very much, Ling Yao would be in danger. Therefore, the only way to save Ling Yao was for Liu Yuan to say that he did not care about Ling Yao at all.
But in this way, he really has no way to survive.
pity……
Liu Yuan felt relieved and sighed. It was okay. These few months had been far more exciting than the first half of his life. It was worth it.
The next moment, the eerie and mighty spiritual energy came over like an overwhelming force. Liu Yuan looked at the purple-clothed man wearing a bronze ghost mask, the beautiful eyes like glass beads and the long hair like red algae, and suddenly said softly: "Palace Master, can you help me convey a message..."
Huang Quan wanted to refuse immediately with disgust, but seeing his difficult but determined expression, he hesitated for some reason.
Liu Yuan recalled: "When you asked me which was more important, appearance or inner qualities, I didn't answer at that time, but now I think..."
He paused, then said seriously: "I think appearance is the most important thing after all!"
"Hey...really?"
Chapter 262: Success or failure depends on this move
A short laugh suddenly rang out.
It seemed very out of place in this heavy scene that was infinitely close to the brink of life and death, but it was also like a pair of scissors tearing cloth or lightning that cut through the sky, breaking the atmosphere.
It was as if the wind and clouds dispersed in an instant, and the huge and breathtaking spiritual power that was blowing in the face disappeared.
Crackling... The raindrops that were stagnant due to an invisible force fell on Liu Yuan head-on, making a crisp sound.
The pressure on him suddenly eased, and he subconsciously took a deep breath, waiting for the spiritual power in his body to automatically protect his body and release it to block the rain. He was slightly stunned and found that his back was already covered in cold sweat. However, he was so focused on dealing with Huang Quan that he didn't even notice it.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at the man in purple opposite him.
The purple-clothed man with the bronze ghost mask still had the same appearance and figure as before, but the coldness that had been in his eyes since he appeared suddenly softened and turned into a more lively and bright smile.
It was just a subtle change in the eyes, but it drastically changed the whole person's temperament, as if one could immediately imagine the expression on the face under the mask.
Curved eyebrows, bright eyes, slightly upturned corners of the mouth, naturally pouted lips with an arc, innocent and rebellious, with a little disbelief and doubt, hiding an irresistible pride of joy.
Asked the question "Really?"
