But the heart of the City Lord of Wanjian City was extremely strong. She was able to endure so many years of loneliness and hold the pinnacle of power in this cold city. This slight emotional fluctuation was restrained in an instant.
She can be as cruel and cold as winter to her enemies, showing no mercy, but she can also be gentle to the ones she loves, even to the point of doting on them.
Duan Lanruo looked back at the smile on the young man's face. He was forced into a corner by those young and extremely possessive girls. Even his smile was filled with bitterness and helplessness.
Although it was fundamentally the enemy's own fault, but since he was forced into a corner... don't blame her for poaching him and the corner together, and putting him in her own city and protecting him tightly.
The current situation is that there is Ye Ci Ke, the young master of the Xuanyin family, and Shen Sifan, the Qinglian Sword of the Taiqing Pavilion. The former looks like he will not stop until he locks the person up in the basement, while the latter's battle with Cui Ting is probably not what it seems. They just met in the middle of the battle. Judging from the power of that move at the scene, if it really hits a person, the person will either die or be disabled. It can be seen that she definitely rushed towards Liu Yuan with the intention of killing him from the beginning.
These two are absolute threats and dangers and need to be eliminated first.
In addition, there are two people in Jiang State shown in the information. Those two almost got married to Mr. Jun Xuan. It can be seen that they have been taken care of and she doesn't need to worry about them anymore.
The vixen in Yuelai Inn and Lingyu who seemed to be traveling with Liu Yuan did not show any unusual movements... Overall, the two women with both strong backgrounds were the most dangerous.
As long as she had the ability to deal with them, it would not be difficult to keep Liu Yuan by her side...even if only temporarily.
Duan Lanruo couldn't help but take him to a secluded place before leaving. She was as familiar with Jiange and Wanjian City as she was with Jiange, and knew all the places where no one would see her... but it was just a long hug and a kiss on the forehead like she would a child.
She knew clearly that she was no longer qualified to give anything to this young man. Enthusiastic promises and vows of love were no longer appropriate. Companionship and understanding were the most lasting confessions.
"No matter how far or how long you go, I will be waiting for you in Wanjian City."
Duan Lanruo reached out to straighten his collar, as gentle and kind as if she were treating a wanderer returning home, but not as gentle as Ning Xiangrong, who seemed to want to drown him.
Liu Yuan felt that she would be a good mother to her children... He held her creamy hand, hummed, and looked up at the progress bar.
【locking】
This was the easiest way for Liu Yuan to lock in favorability, which made him feel greatly relieved.
If everyone went through the same thrilling and arduous process as Vihara, would he still need to live...
Duan Lanruo said softly, "I'll send you to Mingjiantai... In the current situation, Ye Ci Ke is suspicious of you and has sent someone to follow you, but she is still hesitant. It seems that you and that fox are having an affair, which makes her doubt her life."
She blinked at Liu Yuan and said, "To be honest, this young master Xuanyin doesn't look like someone who can be teased. The people of the Xuanyin family are very arrogant and will ignore any man they see. What kind of magic potion did you feed her?"
Liu Yuan coughed and said, "That is...her Xuan Yang Pearl is just with me."
"..."
Duan Lanruo was stunned for a moment and asked, "Xuan Yang Pearl?"
Liu Yuan nodded and said, "I stole the Xuan Yang Pearl using some special method, and then accidentally merged with me... So, logically speaking, I am now her Xuan Yang Pearl."
Duan Lanruo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She stretched out her hand and squeezed his palm, saying, "What you did is truly an unheard-of wonder in the world of immortal cultivation. Didn't the Xuanyang Pearl say that after it is born with the companion, it will be hidden in the Dantian... How did you steal it?"
How should I know the principle of this [Flying Dragon Exploring the Clouds Hand]? Can it help you steal anything?
Liu Yuan spread his hands with an innocent look on his face, but Duan Lanruo loved this childishness. She tapped Liu Yuan's forehead and smiled as if she was looking at a naughty child who had gotten into trouble, "I finally understand why she treated you like a treasure and was determined to capture you, even at the cost of returning the Heavenly Ring Sword to the Sword Pavilion, lowering the attitude of the Xuanyin Family, and ending this feud..."
Thinking about it carefully, doing so would kill two birds with one stone for her. Not only did it give her the opportunity to activate the Ten Thousand Swords Formation, but it also showed that the Xuanyin family had softened their attitude towards falling in love with outsiders, paving the way for her to get Liu Yuan back.
"But in this case, Ye Ci Ke will never do anything bad to you. At most, he will capture you and I can still find a chance to rescue you. But Shen Sifan... I see that she has a murderous look on her face. How did you offend her?"
"This... it's really none of my business. That's just her temper. When it comes to arrogance, the Xuanyin family is far inferior to her. I suppressed her in swordsmanship at the beginning. Now she comes to me, holding a sword and shouting for war. Rather than wanting to kill me, she wants to ask me for an explanation, or wait for me to suppress her again, so that she can let go of her murderous intentions with peace of mind."
During these days of cultivation, Liu Yuan calmed down and thought a lot about Ye Ci Ke and Shen Sifan. In fact, it was his own inner fear that caused him to escape. After all, he had a good impression of these two people, and the progress bar was there, so it couldn't be said that it would be converted into hatred value.
...He even managed to deal with a real yandere like Vihuanluo who was between life and death. To be honest, he shouldn't be afraid of someone like Shen Sifan anymore. But just that one time, he felt scared and terrified.
But now, he suddenly saw Duan Lanruo, and it was just as he expected. The anxiety he had been vaguely aware of about other people's attitude changes suddenly disappeared, and he felt a little more comfortable instead.
In fact, to be honest, Liu Yuan was a little panicked when he suddenly confronted Duan Lanruo.
His acting skills are not that great yet, but he puts real emotions into the story and switches into the role very quickly.
Duan Lanruo tightly grasped his hand and whispered, "But your current cultivation level... is not enough to suppress her. She feels disappointed and has no idea where to start. I don't know how to treat you next."
Liu Yuan felt that Duan Lanruo was exactly what he wanted. As long as he said it, she would immediately understand what he meant and help him...
But now is not the time to discuss it in detail.
Duan Lanruo's eyes flickered as she said, "I understand. Once you've signed up, come and talk to me in detail. I'll do my best to help you."
"Now you have to hide yourself first and don't let these two find out your identity. The Ten Thousand Swords Formation is under my control. If it fails to start, Shen Sifan needs to make careful plans..."
The simple conversation between the two did not take too long. Duan Lanruo took Liu Yuan back to the Mingjian Platform. As soon as they arrived in front of the Mingjian Platform, Yan Guanlin's voice reached Liu Yuan's ears.
"Let me tell you, half a cup of tea to reach the Shu Road? Impossible! It absolutely cannot be that fellow in the Foundation Establishment Stage. If he could do that, I would eat this sword on the spot!"
Lu Yu, the young man in tight clothes from Xuantian Sect, suddenly showed a surprised expression on his face: "He's coming down!"
Yan Guanlin's face froze. He turned around and saw Liu Yuan smiling at him. His half-smiley eyes vaguely fell on the gorgeous and intricate sword in his hand.
The scabbard of this sword has a hollow pattern.
Chapter 110: Cui Ting from the Heart Sword Sect comes to challenge Qinglian Jianzi!
"..."
The scene was very embarrassing.
Yan Guanlin's face changed from red to white to green and then to black, like a color palette, as he looked at Liu Yuan and the woman in front of him.
The voices around him suddenly became quiet, as if mocking him.
He looked at the sword in his hand, his hands were shaking.
Lu Yu was still waving and greeting over there, and said carelessly: "Jiang Feng! Did you send that mortal to the Sword Pavilion?"
Liu Yuan nodded and said, "The Pavilion Master has allowed him to join this year's Watching the Tide and Listening to the Sword Conference, and he also praised him very much."
Lu Yu exclaimed: "That's really amazing, a mortal wants to compete with the swordsmith of Jian Pavilion... By the way, how did you get to Shu Road?"
Liu Yuan sighed, twitched his lips, and said, "Is it convenient?"
Wang Rong, who was walking over: "..."
Yan Guanlin: “…”
How come it's convenient for you?
How convenient is this!!!
In the past few years, there have been less than three true disciples in Jiange who have passed the Shu Road Trial at least in the Jindan stage, and you have directly advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage!
But according to the ratio that it took him half a cup of tea to walk up and one cup of tea to walk down, it seems that it is indeed more convenient to go up from the Shu Road?
Is this what it feels like to have your own way?
Wei Feiluan of Lihuo Sect, whose always serious and cold expression was greatly moved, thought to himself... He is amazing... He will definitely have a seat in this Sword Competition. He should have no hope of being in the top ten, but with such courage and skills, being in the top twenty will definitely not be a problem.
At this moment, Wang Rong suddenly noticed the woman who had been walking in front of him. She deliberately suppressed her presence, but in fact she was still as beautiful as ever. Some people around him had already started whispering, guessing who this person was.
——Many low-level cultivators are not qualified to meet the Lord of Wanjian City, and the Lord does not often come out for activities. His reputation has faded over the past hundreds of years, so not many people know him.
As a disciple of Jian Ge, Wang Rong had to recognize this nine-star swordsmith. His face suddenly changed, and he stepped forward to salute: "The forty-ninth swordsmith of Jian Ge greets Master Duan!"
The Sword Pavilion is passed down from master to apprentice, and each sword-making furnace is passed down from generation to generation, and each has its own casting method. Among the 72 peaks of Longmen Mountain, the lower the sword-making furnace under the cliff, the higher the star level of the sword-making furnace is used by the sword-making master.
But more of them were gradually abandoned in the process of inheritance, and then gradually restarted... Hundreds of years passed between the flickering of the sword-making furnace on the cliff.
The sequence of the sword-making furnace does not represent strength, but it does represent the master-disciple relationship, so most of the disciples of the Sword Pavilion will use this to introduce their identities.
Wang Rong's "Master Duan" instantly reminded people of the only nine-star female swordsmith named Duan.
The Lord of Wanjian City!
The crowd was instantly in an uproar.
More people recognized Duan Lanruo's presence and saluted. Duan Lanruo hummed and smiled faintly, "No need to be so polite. I just brought Jiang Feng down with me. You can continue with the registration."
After saying that, he disappeared, leaving a bunch of people with shocked faces.
What’s going on with Jiang Feng? Even the city lord showed up... He said it was on the way, but how many people could be sent on the way by the city lord of Wanjian City?
This is too powerful. First, he crossed the Shu Road in half a cup of tea, and then the city lord saw him off. What kind of treatment and background is this?
Many people began to pay attention to this man named Jiang Feng, and secretly kept a watchful eye on him.
Yan Guanlin's focus was not here, but that he had actually made a vicious vow in front of the Lord of Wanjian City that he would eat this sword...
Is it too late to regret now?
Too late.
So did he really want to eat the sword? If he didn't, wouldn't his Xumi Mountain's dignity and credibility be ruined...
"Snapped!"
Lu Yu beside him patted his shoulder and said, "Are you going to eat this sword?"
"..."
I don’t want to eat!
Who the hell wants to eat the sword? Why does this person mention it again? Get away from me!
Yan Guanlin was in despair.
He looked at Liu Yuan with great hope, hoping that he could give him a way out.
Liu Yuan smiled at him and said, "Just remember to owe me a sword... As for eating the sword, that's unnecessary. Eating a sword in front of the Sword Pavilion is too radical."
Yan Guanlin breathed a sigh of relief, but was also secretly annoyed that he had failed before even starting the meeting. He had already lost before the meeting even started.
Liu Yuan greeted Lingyu and found that Lingyu had already completed the registration. Under the guidance of Wang Rong, he came to the registration place of Mingjiantai, recorded the file directly, and then took a wooden sign as the serial number, which would be randomly selected during the competition.
Signing up is naturally a simple matter, not to mention the added bonus of so many things that had just happened to Liu Yuan.
Wang Rong wiped the cold sweat from his head and asked awkwardly, "Fellow Daoist Jiang Feng, why is Master Duan here?"
Liu Yuan shook his head: "How would I know? It should be related to the people from the Xuanyin family a few days ago... Since they didn't shy away from it, I'll just say it directly. The Sky Ring Sword has returned to the Sword Pavilion. It just so happened that I sent Geng Qi up there, and the city lord came down with me."
Wang Rong opened his eyes wide: "Doesn't this mean that the relationship between Xuanyin and Jiange will ease."
"How would I know that?" Liu Yuan put the wooden sign into his sleeve and said, "Now that we have signed up, Manager Wang, let's go back to the inn first."
"Okay, okay..." Wang Rong muttered, "It's not our turn to worry about this kind of thing."
Liu Yuan and Ling Yu walked back to the inn together, while Yan Guanlin's expression changed several times, but he was still in disbelief. How could that guy in the Foundation Establishment Stage pass through the Shu Road in half a cup of tea?
Not only did he come down, he was also led down by the Lord of Wanjian City himself.
"How did he get through the Shu Road at that time?" Yan Guanlin asked Wang Rong unwillingly.
Wang Rong recalled the incident and still felt extremely horrified. He shook his head and said, "He just passed through like that... I didn't even have time to react at the time and just wanted to get him off, but he had already passed through."
Yan Guanlin's face became even heavier. He looked at the cliff next to him, looked at his sword, gritted his teeth, and suddenly flicked his sleeves and walked to the side.
"Hey, where are you going and what are you doing? Don't!"
"what!"
Wang Rong looked at the boy who fell down miserably, sent someone to catch him, and sighed, "The first level of the Shu Road is the Liangyi Sword Formation, which has strange changes. How can you react if you haven't tried it before?"
...Except Jiang Feng.
Yan Guanlin had a face full of doubts about life, his eyes were lifeless, this Shu Road...how could he pass it in an instant?
-
Cui Ting jumped down from the flying sword and looked at the quiet and elegant residence in front of him. There were three words "Qingpingju" written on it. It was obviously where people of more important status and higher cultivation in the city stayed.
Shen Sifan is naturally here too.
After he informed others of his identity, he was able to travel smoothly, but the people in charge couldn't help but look at him with concern and dissuasion.
After all, everyone knew that he had just fought with Qinglian Jianzi some time ago... and the battle was quite brutal.
But Cui Ting couldn't allow his swordsmanship to be damaged from now on!
He needs to regain his courage!
"call……"
Cui Ting closed his eyes. It was not easy to break free from the terrifying sword. Looking at the courtyard in front of him, he exhaled and said, "I am Cui Ting from the Heart Sword Sect, and I have come to challenge Qinglian Jianzi!"
The woman who was meditating in the room suddenly opened her eyes.
Chapter 111 "Found it."
Shen Sifan had been deceived by Liu Yuan's substitute talisman before. He flew in the opposite direction for two days before finally... finding the substitute talisman.
