If the plan goes well, regardless of success or failure, he will put all the blame on the Biluo Mansion. Maybe he can even eradicate this major evil sect in the East China Sea and establish his authority.
Everything he failed to obtain hundreds of years ago, he will now regain one by one.
-
Yuan Hongli's clear eyes were flickering with orange light illuminated by the fire, and her expression contained a hint of expectation and deep fatigue.
On the red stone that she held high in her hand, one could vaguely see some wing-like patterns, which were now glowing and surrounded by starlight.
In front of him was an ancient stone altar. The red flames were rotating and connected into a circle, like a lock. The flames were blazing, and then they went out in mid-air without any sound.
"Swish." Amidst Yuan Hongli's disappointed expression, the altar instantly turned into a pile of powder on the ground.
The last glimmer of hope in her eyes also turned to ashes. Her expression became gloomy. She held the stone and murmured, "Another fake one."
There were men, women, young and old following Yuan Hongli. One of the girls couldn't help but say, "Young Patriarch, when the phoenix was reborn, it left behind a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix formation. There are hundreds of fake nests. It is impossible to judge them with just a broken Vermillion Bird Stone. Do we really have to try them one by one? This will not only be time-consuming and laborious, but our whereabouts will soon be exposed. Once the people of Zhongzhou discover our identities, I'm afraid..."
Another tall and strong middle-aged man shouted, "Don't talk nonsense! The young patriarch is blessed by heaven and has great fortune. He will definitely find the secret realm of Nirvana and save our Fuso clan."
The girl shut her mouth awkwardly.
Yuan Hongli shook her head, put the Vermillion Bird Stone back into her arms, and put on her cloak again.
She had a slender and graceful figure, a pair of autumn-water eyes and long hair like clouds, and she had a delicate yet tough temperament. She pursed her lips and said, "Xi He is right. Uncle Bai has discovered that some people from Zhongzhou are following us. We were just trying to save the situation. We wanted to beg Master Fenghuang to save Grandpa, but I was too naive. It will be futile if we continue like this. Let's go back."
The girl named Xi He and the tall and strong middle-aged man were both stunned and looked at a skinny figure at the end of the team.
Xi He said dryly: "Someone is following us? Why didn't Uncle Bai mention it..."
The skinny figure raised his head, revealing a distorted face covered with scars, and said calmly: "If I tell you, how can I lure the person who is following me into the trap?"
When he said this, everyone in the team was shocked and they all became alert and took out their weapons.
Uncle Bai turned his gaze and looked into the darkness: "But it seems that there is no need to lead it."
A girl in black suddenly walked out of the darkness and said, "Of course not. I'm just here to deliver a letter."
Uncle Bai asked, "Who are you delivering the letter for?"
"The Azure Palace in the Far East Sea." The girl took out a piece of paper and handed it over gracefully: "Please ask Clan Leader Yuan Shao to go to Wuyin Cliff to discuss the whereabouts of the True Phoenix."
Yuan Hongli's pretty face was tense. Seeing that Uncle Bai glanced at her but didn't do anything, she carefully took the note in her hand. After opening it, she saw the words "How are the two paintings? Is your scary grandfather okay?" Her eyes suddenly fixed, and then she immediately rolled it up and put it into her sleeves, saying in a deep voice: "Please tell you... Lord of the Palace, Yuan Hongli will visit you soon."
In fact, I was very surprised when I held the note.
That person had almost no cultivation a few months ago, so how could he suddenly become the lord of the Biluo Palace, or let the lord give an order to pass on a message? It is really unbelievable... But on second thought, this person must not be a simple person since he could make the saint treat him with courtesy.
Yuan Hongli's cheeks were slightly red. What was the matter with the tone of voice that was not strange at all? What did he mean by "scary grandpa"? How could he say that? Grandpa admired him quite a lot at that time and even suggested that she should take this boy as her servant to smother Xie.
Although grandpa immediately stopped it and treated it as a joke, it left a ripple in Yuan Hongli's heart, as she rarely came into contact with the opposite sex.
Now is the time when she needs help the most, and this person appears again, just like the ripples spreading out and gathering together, floating into the lake of her heart again.
Chapter 289: The Childish Lord
When Su Lanfeng was outside reporting that Yuan Hongli had arrived at Wuyin Cliff, Liu Yuan was still conducting the interrogation from beginning to end.
The respectful voice of the middle-aged beautiful woman came from outside: "Protector, I have already placed the young clan leader and his party in the guest room. May I ask when the palace master will meet with them? Your subordinates can make arrangements early."
She naturally thought that meeting Yuan Hongli was Huang Quan's idea, but she didn't know that the Lord of the Mansion was unable to come out to meet anyone now.
Liu Yuan's calm voice rang out in Su Lanfeng's mind, like a loud bell, with an awe-inspiring aura: "The mansion master is in a bad mood, so I will come forward to talk to him. You don't need to come again these few days."
Lidya Su was shocked and lowered her head quickly: "Yes."
She was shocked. How come after just a few days of not seeing him, the cultivation level of this guardian Zhu seemed to have improved a lot, becoming even more unfathomable? How could he cultivate like this? Was he a monster? Or did he win the favor of the mansion master and receive some kind of treasure?
The beautiful woman was excited for a moment and thought that if she did a good job, maybe this day would come for her too.
She went on to recount what had happened in Yuxu Mountain in the past few days, and reported on her joint plan with Xue Wei to turn the tables on Han Tianyi. If things went well, this man and the forces behind him, that is, his father, would be completely eradicated in a short time.
By then, with the guarantee of the Holy Envoy, Xue Wei might be able to directly replace Han Tianyi's father and be promoted to an elder.
Liu Yuan was naturally very satisfied with this situation. He praised and encouraged her a few words and then sent her away.
Su Lanfeng naturally could not have imagined that Liu Yuan had indeed received a reward from Huang Quan, but this reward was much more precious than any treasures from heaven and earth.
After all, there are probably not many people in the world who have ever obtained the Yuanhong of a powerful being in the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
The most intuitive benefits are clear.
Liu Yuan's original cultivation level was at the eighth level of the Jindan Stage, but with the help of this yin and yang fortune, he actually reached the Shenhua Stage, leaping over a whole class. And with the blessing of cards, he would even reach the same level of the Fusion Stage as Chui Chui.
In fact, if Liu Yuan had not overdrawn his vitality and damaged his foundation because of the Blood-Burning Pill, his harvest this time should have been even greater.
But even so, it was enough to keep him from having to rely on Zhizhi's "blood transfusion" to stay alive.
Liu Yuan naturally didn't want to capture the Lord of the Mansion suddenly (although this was one of the reasons), the most important thing now was his own life.
Although he knew the exact location of the Nirvana Secret Realm and was determined to get the Phoenix Blood, he could not guarantee that something unexpected might happen along the way that would ruin everything.
Of course, he couldn't just pin his life and death on the secret realm of Nirvana. It was very foolish to put all his eggs in one basket.
Long-term strategies have made Liu Yuan develop a habit of being cautious. He always plans things out before taking action and leaves enough ways to retreat. When he first crossed over to this world, he had not yet adapted to it and subconsciously treated it as a game world. Now, after escaping death many times and gradually adapting, he has re-examined himself and naturally done things more carefully.
Liu Yuan stood beside the bed, smiled and glanced at the mansion lord who turned his head away and ignored him, then reached out and lifted the woman's soft, thick, curly red hair, revealing half of her beautiful face.
Huang Quan closed her eyes tightly and pretended to be dead. Her long eyelashes cast a shadow like a butterfly wing. She had an exotic look, with deep eye sockets, a straight nose, fair skin, and soft red lips that were naturally pouting. Compared to the arrogance with murderous eyes when she was awake, she was even a little naive and childish at this moment.
When she is not speaking, the Lord of the Mansion is undoubtedly a stunning exotic beauty.
——After all, these were the cards that Liu Yuan had originally conquered.
The Lord of the Mansion suddenly felt sleepy. He frowned and moved, then buried his face deeper. He slapped his hand away and said vaguely, "Well, you lowly villain, get out... Let me sleep and don't bother me..."
Liu Yuan couldn't help teasing her: "Master, it's time to get up."
The Lord of the Mansion buried his head in the pillow and shook his head: "Wu... don't..."
Liu Yuan deliberately teased, "No, you are the dignified Lord of Biluo Mansion, how can you stay in bed?"
Huang Quan, who was not in a clear state of mind, probably forgot what state she was in and who the person in front of her was. She just wanted to have a good sleep, but unfortunately she was disturbed. The question raised reminded her of the bell sound that had been lingering in her ears these days. She said angrily: "I want to sleep! You can't allow it? Does it bother you if I lie down and sleep? Stupid pig!"
After saying that, he turned around and stared at Liu Yuan with a pair of bright green eyes full of anger, panting.
Liu Yuan looked at her with a subtle expression.
Huang Quan was angry for a long time, then gradually came to his senses and realized what he had just said. His face suddenly turned red and he stiffened his neck and cursed, "Vile! Despicable! Don't even think about it! Disgusting! I will kill you sooner or later!"
Liu Yuan nodded: "It seems that the Lord of the Mansion still remembers it."
Huang Quan asked cautiously: "What?"
Liu Yuan smiled and said, "The more you scold me, the more excited I get."
Huang Quan's face flushed, and he managed to utter, "Pervert!"
Liu Yuan immediately looked at her with an expression of enjoyment and said, "Go on, Lord Palace Master."
The Lord of the Mansion did not continue.
She always felt that if she continued like this, she would be letting him take advantage of her by scolding him...Now no matter what she did, he would be taking advantage of her.
Liu Yuan came over and looked at her face, then kissed her gently on the forehead, covered her with the quilt, and said softly, "Go to sleep."
Huang Quan covered his head with the quilt and curled up into a ball. He heard him laugh twice, put on his clothes and went out to talk to the hateful Taoist nun. He couldn't help but reach out and hold the bell hanging around his neck.
The two words "Mei Nu" on it felt particularly clear in the darkness, as if they were right in front of me.
Huang Quan rubbed the outline of the two words with his fingers in a daze, thinking that he had carved them himself, and they were for "Huang Quan", not for "Mei Sheng"... It took him a long time to come back to his senses with a sudden cry, the bell in his hand was warm, and his cheeks were burning.
Bah! He is obviously a black-hearted bastard. Who is he pretending to be gentle for?
Give it to her?
Do you expect her to be moved by such a small thing?
Huang Quan frowned and snorted coldly.
She would endure the humiliation and wait patiently for the moment when he would let down his guard, and return everything she had suffered! As long as she killed him and Ling Yao, no one in the world would know what she had suffered, and she would still be the mysterious and high-ranking Lord of the Biluo Palace.
No, killing him would be too easy for this villain.
Huang Quan thought bitterly that he must tie him up in his room, cut the tendons of his hands and feet, and torture him with all kinds of torture instruments!
But why in my own room?
The Lord of the Mansion was stunned for a moment, suddenly confused by his own thoughts, but soon he fell into a deep sleep in his wandering thoughts.
Chapter 290: Revenge and Face-Slapping Script
The first person Liu Yuan met when he came out of the room was Hong Fu, who had been guarding the door.
The little doll looked at Liu Yuan with curiosity, then looked inside the door. With a blush on its delicate and fair face, it clenched its fists and summoned up the courage to say, "Jun Xuan..."
Liu Yuan lowered his head and picked her up: "Hmm?"
The little doll held his face and kissed him seriously, with a burning look in his eyes: "I like you!"
"..."
Liu Yuan thought about it and felt that she probably felt that he had ignored her, so she wanted to show her presence.
It’s not that Hong Fu is not attractive anymore, it’s just that there are too many women around her.
"Yeah, I like Hong Fu too, very much!"
Hong Fu's mind was quite simple. She nodded with satisfaction, then puffed up her cheeks and whispered, "You didn't even tell me what comes after kiss, hug and lift up. You have to play with me next time."
Liu Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She still remembered this.
Kiss, hug, lift up...if you think about it carefully, there is indeed such a process. He was wondering why Hong Fu suddenly understood and it turned out that she believed what he said.
The little doll frowned, with a cute look of dissatisfaction, which made Liu Yuan unable to help but pinch her face and coax her by saying that he would do it again next time. After he made the hook, Hong Fu got off him and ran into the room to clean up the scene.
It's really convenient to have a little maid... but I don't dare ask her to carry things anymore. She's no problem with cleaning, but if she does anything else, she'll smash everything to pieces.
He has a very strong skill in falling on flat ground.
Liu Yuan turned his gaze back and saw Ling Yao sitting at the table. He walked over with a smile and said, "Did you hear everything?"
Ling Yao detected a double meaning in his expression and tone, and immediately gave him a reproachful look, saying, "I heard it, I heard it. The dignified Lord of Huangquan Palace was cursing and crying at the same time, and he had to be careful not to make any noise so as not to be heard by his subordinates. How unfair."
Liu Yuan had to say that although he had entered the sage mode, he still couldn't help but cough twice, sat down and said: "Business is more important. Yuan Hongli is already at Wuyin Cliff, and those people from Biluo Mansion will be here soon. Now Yuxu is surrounded by the seven major sects, which is a headache. They will definitely ask Biluo Mansion for help again. I think they are most likely thinking of pushing the blame onto Biluo Mansion and being done with it, but who knows, now the life of the Lord of Biluo Mansion is in your hands and mine."
He was talking about the Lord of the Mansion who appeared to be a tough guy but actually had been shouting that he wanted to die these past few days. It was true that her life was in the hands of these two people.
Ling Yao blushed slightly. She felt a little uncomfortable when she thought about the ridiculous things she had done. She changed the subject and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Liu Yuan poured a cup of tea and handed it over, saying, "Since they are looking for cooperation with Biluo Mansion, they have to bear the risk. It is normal for an evil sect to have some ambitions. I think the elders of Biluo Mansion are too pedantic. How can they keep their promises and cooperate?"
He was somewhat speechless: "It's true that Biluo Mansion is a killer organization, but at the same time it is more than just a killer organization. If they really think that they are a killer organization and want to dominate the East China Sea and even Zhongzhou? It's better to go to bed. If there is a chance to directly wipe out Yuxu Dao Sect, why do they still stick to those broken rules? Fortune and wealth are sought in danger..."
Ling Yao took the teacup and glanced at him, then said faintly: "Why do I feel that you are more suitable to be the leader of an evil organization."
Liu Yuan sighed and found that he couldn't help but speak out his thoughts. Words like "destroy the Yuxu Taoist sect" came out of his mouth. If the person in front of him was a normal Yuxu disciple, he would probably draw his sword and chop him down.
But God has mercy on him. As a solo player, he has never had any organizational stance except on major issues. He is just thinking from another's perspective...
But the person in front of him was his wife after all, and the future head of Yuxu Sect. He always felt guilty about wanting to take advantage of his wife's secret stash.
As if seeing Liu Yuan's embarrassment, Ling Yao shook his head and smiled, "So you plan to continue to perfect what you said to Su Lanfeng before, so that Biluo Mansion will change its mind and change from cooperating with Yuxu Daomen to stirring up trouble in Zhongzhou to directly attacking Yuxu Daomen and using the dirty information in your hands to turn the tables on your allies and 'kill' them in one fell swoop?"
Liu Yuan was stunned for a moment, took a sip of tea, looked at the sharp cold light in the Taoist nun's eyes, and thought to himself, what a joke! They said he was suitable to be the leader of an evil sect. Actually, there was no sense of incongruity in putting Fairy Lingyao into an evil sect.
This indifferent attitude when discussing the elimination of the Yuxu Taoist sect is simply born in the wrong place. Maybe if it were switched to the Demon Sect, Fairy Lingyao would also be able to thrive.
However, the one who saved Ling Yao back then was indeed the good-natured Sheng'e. The kindness in her heart has become an unchangeable label. Because of Sheng'e's expectations, she must be an otherworldly fairy or the leader of the righteous path.
Liu Yuan continued, "But the Biluo Mansion is doomed to fail, because by then, the person who was framed by the despicable and shameless people of the Third Palace and fled, but fell off a cliff on the way and inherited the inheritance of Zhou Zhongzi Ding Huan, and returned after a bloodbath and cleared his name, will sweep away the conspiracy of the Biluo Mansion with one sword, save Yuxu from danger, and save the mansion from collapse."
Ling Yao whispered, "We?"
Liu Yuan smiled slightly and reached out to hold her delicate hand: "You."
With his eyes half closed, he transmitted the Yuxu Taoist Canon in his mind, which Ding Huan had spent his entire life compiling, to Ling Yao.
This may be the true inheritance of the Yuxu Taoist school, but it is in such a simple environment. But how does the saying go, "This is a humble room, but my virtue is fragrant", I think Senior Ding probably doesn't mind.
Ling Yao received a lot of information at once, frowned slightly, and felt a little dizzy in addition to being shocked. In front of him was someone who didn't need to hide and could be relied on, so he fell into Liu Yuan's arms and looked up at him: "What about you?"
Liu Yuan hugged her and teased her, "I am the demon who was killed by you. I failed to seduce you, but was crushed to ashes. No trace of my body remains, and no one can find me."
He said in a deep voice: "Only in this way can I completely conceal the demonic energy in me. The coexistence of Taoism and demonism has never happened before in this world. Your previous attempt to take me in in the name of research in Yuxu Dao Sect will not work. Once it is exposed, it will not matter whether I am a demon or not, you will also be implicated."
