At that time, Shen Sifan looked at the substitute talisman in his hand, clenched his fist expressionlessly, and the talisman paper in his hand was shattered by the sharp sword energy.
It seemed to foreshadow that someone was about to be cut into pieces.
"Damn it... This guy really isn't experiencing a regression in his cultivation, he just simply wants to marry someone else!"
In the room, Shen Sifan stared at his Qinglian Sword, and thought of the happy times he had with Liu Yuan a long time ago. He couldn't help feeling angry and sour. He clenched his teeth, wishing he could catch the man immediately and bite him to death.
In Taiqing Pavilion... she has been sitting alone for hundreds of years, just to cultivate a sharp sword intent. She has sacrificed all of her self for this. The reason why Qinglian Sword Master is called Sword Master, rather than Sword Master, is because this sword has been passed down from generation to generation like a shackle, with the sword as the master, not the person. However, as the sister of the Pavilion Master, she has the responsibility to take on everything.
Only through repeated tempering of the sword can a true Green Lotus Sword be forged.
She came out of retreat early because of Liu Yuan, which had already ruined her practice, but she was filled with murderous intent all the way, cutting off all obstacles and making herself more in tune with the sword intent of the Green Lotus Sword.
It’s hard to say whether it’s good or bad.
Shen Sifan had a complicated expression. She was the one with the fastest progress in cultivation among all the Qinglian Sword Masters in history, and it was largely because of Liu Yuan.
Because Liu Yuan was the unattainable goal in her heart. To her, Liu Yuan was both a teacher, a friend and an enemy. No matter how hard she tried, it seemed that she could not catch up with him.
Therefore, she practiced hard, trying hard to get Liu Yuan's attention.
At that time in Taiqing Pavilion, apart from meditating and practicing every day, what she looked forward to most was Liu Yuan's arrival. They practiced sword fighting together. At this time, Liu Yuan was the most annoying. He always said some weird things to make her angry, but she could always defeat him easily...but it was also the most lively.
It was so lively that she could no longer endure the coldness and loneliness of Taiqing Pavilion. Being alone suddenly became unbearable. But sometimes they watched the sun rise and set together, quietly accompanying each other. At this time, Shen Sifan liked this tranquility and even hoped that time would stop.
Later she realized that she was not in love with the hustle and bustle or the quietness, but with Liu Yuan as a person. She enjoyed everything he brought to her.
But now everything has changed. He is actually going to marry someone else. Whenever Shen Sifan thinks about how he treated someone else as his wife, to protect and cherish her, and his eyes are chasing someone else and will never fall on her again, the bitterness in her heart is about to overflow from her eyes.
"How could he do this... I want to kill him, why doesn't he defeat me once again, why does he run away... I have been waiting for him, as long as, as long as he changes his mind... No, he has betrayed his promise, I can't just forgive him and kill him so easily... But can I really let it go? The ruthless sword, cutting off the emotional ties, is this really what I want in my heart, rather than the inner demons?"
Shen Sifan was conflicted and confused, and his initial determination to kill Liu Yuan gradually faded as time went by.
Just as Liu Yuan expected, as long as Shen Sifan bought time for her to calm down and think, when she couldn't figure it out, it would be difficult for her to kill him again.
Just as she was thinking this, Shen Sifan suddenly sensed that Cui Ting, who had been severely injured by her Thousand Lotus Dragon Splitting Cloud Waterfall a few days ago, had come to Qingpingju to find her.
The people from the Heart Sword Sect... actually had the courage to come looking for her.
Shen Sifan was a little surprised.
She did not hold back when she struck the sword. If Cui Ting had not dodged in time... being seriously injured would have been a minor matter, and being killed on the spot would have been the least of his worries.
In terms of combat power, Cui Ting was by no means her opponent, but Cui Ting, who was able to react instantly and chose to defend with all his strength and then dodge, could also be called an extremely sharp swordsmanship genius.
However, if this person hadn't come to challenge him, Liu Yuan wouldn't have taken the opportunity to run away...
Now you dare to come a second time?
Shen Sifan had a blank expression on his face. He stretched out his hand and pressed it on his Qinglian Sword. It seemed that he would inevitably shed blood today.
Cui Ting, who was outside the yard, suddenly felt a chill. The murderous aura was like a real sword hanging over his head. The bone-chilling coldness was as if he could see the shadow of a lotus covering the sky and the sun.
"...Xin, Xinjian Sect, Cui, Cui Cui..."
He reached out his trembling hand to grasp the hilt of the sword and stammered, but this time he couldn't even utter the opening words.
Cui Ting wanted to cry but had no tears. It was really hard for him!
This kind of terrifying sword intent is simply not something that humans can resist. Generation after generation, the accumulated sword intent is so powerful that it's like millions of swords hanging above one's head. No wonder the Qinglian Swordsman of Taiqing Pavilion is so famous that even children can stop crying!
However, he needs to rebuild his sword spirit! If he can't even draw the sword, his life as a swordsman will end here!
Cui Ting gritted his teeth, steeled his heart, and tried his best to resist the fear in his heart. He took a deep breath and made up his mind to pull out the sword. It didn't matter even if he died!
Ahhhhh!
Cui Ting roared in his heart, feeling that he had shouldered the figures of all the predecessors of the Heart Sword Sect. They were all standing behind him, giving him endless strength.
At this moment, Shen Sifan's murderous intent suddenly paused and eased, causing Cui Ting's trembling hands to stabilize instantly.
"Swish——" the sharp sword was unsheathed!
Cui Ting was overjoyed and felt that he could do it.
Suddenly, a woman's voice was heard from the yard: "Who did you meet in Wanjian City?!"
The tone was stern.
Cui Ting was stunned, and the aggressive Qinglian Swordsman appeared in front of him again, but this time she was no longer holding the sword, but was making hand gestures and starting to calculate something.
Cui Ting was confused, and subconsciously thought that Qinglian Jianzi was like the rumored one, and he came to ask him if he had encountered any evil spirits, so he replied, "No... No..."
"You've had contact with him."
Shen Sifan took out the fragments of the substitute talisman, and in his deep eyes, flames suddenly ignited and burned the talisman to ashes.
The ashes flew and landed on Cui Ting's hands.
——At the city gate, Cui Ting once shook Liu Yuan’s hand out of admiration and patted his shoulder.
Cui Ting felt a terrifying atmosphere brewing, and he was sweating profusely and dared not move.
His intuition told him that it was best not to talk nonsense now...
Shen Sifan waved her hand to call back the ashes, and cast a spell again. The ashes turned into light spots and scattered all the way to a certain direction. She sneered and said, "Found it."
Liu Yuan might have forgotten... that the substitute talisman had his blood and hair on it. If someone took it, it would be the best material for deduction. As long as there was some breath, the trace could be found immediately.
The Qinglian Sword disappeared in an instant.
Cui Ting: “???”
The chief disciple of the Heart Sword Sect was left alone, staring at the sword he had just drawn with a blank look on his face.
What did you find?
No, what about his challenge???
Chapter 112 It's safe here
But Liu Yuan and Ling Yu walked towards Yuelai Inn together.
Lingyu finally came back to her senses from her confusion and curiously asked Liu Yuan how he got through the Shu Road.
However, Liu Yuan actually didn't have any tricks... Did it count if he tried many times in the game and fell and died many times?
Including the matter of conquering, he often needs to try again and again. For example, in the case of Shen Sifan, he basically conquers him through fighting. If it weren't for the fact that he can be reborn in the game and try again, he would never be able to defeat Shen Sifan even if he dies.
In this way, he didn't know how many times he died before he conquered Shen Sifan.
Now, no one in this world can understand how he can do these things...
Liu Yuan pondered for a while and said, "It's nothing... I'm good at body movements and quick reactions. If I were to say, you probably can't catch up with me when it comes to running away."
Ling Yu was stunned and couldn't help but smile. Liu Yuan continued to put on a serious look and said, "Especially the Shu Road. In fact, it tests people's courage and bravery. Just like if you draw a bow and shoot an arrow on flat ground, it is also a very easy thing. But once you stand on a thousand-foot-high cliff, the fear of being on the verge of death can easily defeat a person, and he can't even pick up a weapon. There is a great terror between life and death. As long as you can defeat yourself, the Shu Road is actually not as difficult as the rumors say."
Liu Yuan chose chicken soup for the soul.
After all, this kind of thing is no longer something that can be explained by fairy heroes. Only "believe that your heart is your magic" or shouting "we are Fairy Tail" can be considered more reasonable.
He used the same rhetoric when explaining to the Master of Jiange. Zuo Youhuai admired him greatly and even regarded him as a close friend, saying that this was exactly the same as the original intention of the design of the Shu Road Trial.
...Who knows what you, Jiange, are thinking!
However, when Duan Lanruo handed her city lord token to Liu Yuan, Zuo Youhuai not only had no objection, but also showed a gratified expression. In fact, this shows that he admired Liu Yuan very much and wanted to recruit him.
Lingyu looked thoughtful after hearing this, as if he had been inspired, and said, "Practice, cultivate the mind, and cultivate the Tao, this is what I got."
Got it? Have you really understood it?
This is very fairy-like.
Liu Yuan was speechlessly looking at Ling Yu's face with an expression of "I understand". The latter's expression suddenly changed and he said, "Daoyou Jiang Feng's words have given me a lot of insights. For a moment, my realm has loosened."
Liu Yuan: “???” You are so relaxed and casual!
Ling Yu had obviously sensed the opportunity for a breakthrough, and said seriously, "It seems that I must find a place to meditate and comprehend. I think I will definitely be able to cross this small realm... Thank you for your help, fellow Taoist."
After she finished speaking, she bowed to Liu Yuan very seriously, and then left in a hurry.
Liu Yuan looked at her leaving with a subtle expression.
This……
Is this a true immortal cultivator?
Before he could finish a few words, he instantly understood. In comparison, he, the time traveler who cheated by using experience scrolls, was just a little brother.
Liu Yuan shook his head and was about to go back to the inn when he suddenly saw the Yanlou next to him.
As mentioned before, this Yanlou is the largest brothel in Wanjian City, and behind it is the gray organization Qingfengfang.
You can clearly see the elegant and quiet buildings around you, which are like pavilions, and they are a level higher than the Qingpingju in the city.
The brothels in Wanjian City are naturally not ordinary brothels... The terrifying thing about the Qingfengfang organization is that they can even turn immortal cultivators into singing and dancing prostitutes, but no righteous sect has come to eradicate them.
In fact, there have been such actions in the history of the Upper Central Realm, but they all ended in nothing, which shows the huge influence and power of the Upper Central Realm.
Liu Yuan noticed this Yanlou, not because he had a sudden urge to visit a prostitute...
At this critical moment, he still wants to go to the brothel. He really wants to die and no one can stop him.
Instead, he saw a familiar figure vaguely flash by in one of the private rooms on the third floor of Yanlou.
"...Only a shadow?"
Liu Yuan even suspected that he was blurry due to excessive worry recently.
The magic of Mirror Flower and Water Moon on his body is still maintained by Zhiying, but Zhiying has not been seen recently.
Liu Yuan didn’t think too much about it before. After all, Zhiying’s hiding ability was simply unsolvable. As long as the magic was still maintained, it meant there was no problem.
Besides, on the surface, her mission was to protect Liu Yuan and give him a gift, so basically nothing would go wrong.
But now, why would a figure appear in Yanlou?
This child is soliciting prostitution at such a young age?
Is it okay when you grow up?
Liu Yuan felt that he had to give the child some love education. It was necessary to let the child know what fatherly love was like a mountain.
Just as he was about to go into Yanlou to catch his naughty child and give him a beating, he suddenly heard a strange voice in his ears.
"Mr. Jun Xuan, please go to the inner hall of Yanlou. The city lord is waiting here."
Liu Yuan determined the direction in an instant, and walked towards Yanlou calmly according to his original direction.
Duan Lanruo said before that she would find someone to contact him and then discuss it in detail, but unexpectedly it happened in Yanlou.
Just in time... to catch that kid named Zhiying.
Liu Yuan was not unfamiliar with Yanlou. After all, if he saw such a scene in the game, he would definitely go in and take a look. Even if it was a game for all ages, there were still people to see.
As soon as he entered, he was greeted by a maid who had obviously been instructed and took him to the inner hall.
By the way, Ye Ci Ke also sent people to keep an eye on him, but according to Ye Ci Ke's impression, he should be devoted to her, and he is chaste and never speaks ill of other women...
To capture a tsundere girl, he chose the straight approach, and with the help of the Xuan Yang Pearl, he achieved the final result.
So now the worse his disguise, the less suspicion he would have.
For example, the ambiguity between him and Hu Jiuniang was enough to make Ye Ci Ke rule out the correct option.
Moreover, he was so righteous at the city gate at the beginning, but now he comes to visit the brothel. In Ye Ci Ke's eyes, he is even more of a hypocritical person who is two-faced.
Could it be that it was for this reason that Duan Lanruo chose the meeting place in Yanlou?
Liu Yuan was thinking secretly as the maid in front of him walked through the long corridor, gently lifting the beaded curtains and veils layer by layer, and finally stopped and made a gesture of invitation. Sure enough, the person sitting in the inner hall was Duan Lanruo, whom he had just met not long ago.
In the center of the inner hall there is a gilded bronze incense burner with incense burning, and the tables and chairs are all extremely gorgeously furnished.
The woman changed into a loose peacock blue dress, which looked somewhat like a cheongsam. Her full and white chest was clearly visible. With an opening on the side, a pair of snow-white legs could be vaguely seen under the veil.
Next to her stood a woman dressed in black, with half a wooden mask on her face.
Duan Lanruo's expression brightened when she saw Liu Yuan. She walked towards Liu Yuan, took his hand and asked him to sit down. She touched his cheek and whispered, "Don't worry. That maid is also my secret guard. We are all family here. It's safe."
Chapter 113: The Attack of the Green Lotus Sword
"It's very safe here." said the city lord.
For some reason, Liu Yuan suddenly felt panicky and wanted to run away for no reason.
