Liu Yuan was stunned. When he felt that she seemed to have other intentions, he heard a sound like boiling water. He frowned and looked at the river. A cloud of black smoke that looked very sticky rose above the surface of the river. There is no such stage in the game. Liu Yuan was certain that this boss did not have such a fourth stage. The collapse of the shadow represented the end of the battle. After exposing the internal spiritual essence, players could collect materials and get rewards. Chui Chui poked his head out of the river, his eyes wide open and a little dazed, feeling a bit like a drowning dog chasing a plastic bag in the water but in the end getting nothing. "Shh!" The black smoke was split into two by the sword light, and the golden light spread, corroding it and making a sharp cry, but the black smoke took shape even faster, quickly condensing into a twisted and slender shadow black dragon. “Roar!” The dragon shadow that could only exist in the river escaped from the cage. Under its blood-red eyes, a dangerous aura began to spread. But the sword light that pierced through the black smoke did not stop. It hit the star ship behind it. The sword light turned back and hit the arm of one of the disciples. He looked like an ordinary disciple, slightly younger than Liu Yuan. At this moment, he screamed, and a medicine bottle slipped out of his sleeve and fell into the water with a splash.
The other disciples nearby were stunned, then their faces changed drastically, and they quickly dispersed, drawing their swords and pointing them at the man. "Explain." The eldest sister's voice sounded ethereal and vague on the surface of the river. Ling Yuan's hand, which was about to reach out to grab the bottle, froze, and he said in confusion, "Big, Big Sister, I, I don't know... I took the dragon blood grass paste to treat Ling Dou's injury..." "Are you trying to say that you, a member of Caomutang, can't tell the difference between dragon blood and dragon blood grass juice?" Liu Yuan interrupted with a half-smile: "It turns out that the people in the Red Fire Palace are all trash." Chapter 251 This is actually very easy to solve The Yuxu Taoist sect is divided into four major halls, which were established by the four disciples of the great master Liuyi. Later, after thousands of years and countless generations, it evolved into four large and complex master-disciple factions. Every dispute over the position of the head sect is decided by the true teachings of the four halls. The first hall where Ling Yao and Ling Yu are located is called Danqing Hall. The hall master is their master, the current head monk Sheng'e. He now has five true disciples of the Ling generation, including Lingyao, Lingdeng, Lingyi, Lingying and Lingyu. Ling Jie, who was also on the Star Chariot, was an inner sect disciple just like Ling Zhen in Liu Yuan's arms. However, he was different from Ling Zhen because Ling Jie, who had a much higher talent and cultivation, was preparing for the true teaching trial. If he succeeded, he would be Ling Yao's true sixth junior brother. But the competition for the position of true successor is just as fierce, and it is a whole different circle compared to the competition for the position of head master. All of this is beside the point. The second hall is called Cangming Hall, the third is Fusong Hall, and the fourth hall is the Chihuo Hall that Liu Yuan is mentioning now. Among them, the Danqing Palace masters Taoism, the Cangming Palace masters swordsmanship, and they are more inclined towards combat. The Fusong Palace is in charge of the Law Enforcement Hall, and the Chihuo Palace manages the Caomu Hall and the Alchemist Workshop and is responsible for logistics. Players also need to choose a general direction and join the corresponding branch temple so that living players can also enjoy the various benefits of the sect. Liu Yuan started by mocking Caomu Hall and calling Chihuo Hall trash without being polite at all, which made the Yuxu disciple named Ling Yuan's face turn very ugly. However, just as he stood up and was about to say, "Don't you see where you are? How dare you insult an entire branch of the Yuxu Taoist Sect?", he saw Liu Yuan's face clearly. And his position - Xiahou Cenyi is on his right, and Ling Yao is in front of him on the left, with Ling Zhen behind him. It is a good place to be and have all the stars around him. Ling Yuan felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured over his head. He had to close his mouth just as he was about to open it, and gritted his teeth. He really can't afford to offend this man, this man who can be called Jiang Feng or Liu Yuan.
The news has probably spread throughout Central China by now... the adopted son of the Lord of Wanjian City, the prospective son-in-law of the Xuanyin family, and the junior brother of the Grand Elder of Tianbao Pavilion. Even though he was now a prisoner and was being escorted back to the sect for investigation, it was not something that an ordinary inner sect disciple like him could object to for insulting the Yuxu Taoist branch. No matter how righteous he was, he could not erase the huge gap in status. Otherwise, those people in Tianbao Pavilion who had just endured their ancestors would probably be the first to rush out and beat him up for disrespect. All he could do was report the matter to his superiors and have the Lord of the Red Fire Palace come in person so that they could have a relatively equal dialogue, and there would naturally be no problem with questioning. But even if it was the Lord of the Scarlet Fire Palace, it would be unlikely to be on equal footing with this guy... because the other party's status was obviously higher than that of the Lord of the Tianbao Pavilion. No matter how powerful the Yuxu Taoist sect is, the master of the Tianbao Pavilion is always slightly higher in rank than the master of the Chihuo Palace. Logically, Ling Yuan could only hold his breath and remain silent... But he thought of another person who could challenge him, someone present who could and needed to question Liu Yuan's words. Spiritual Yao. The highly respected senior sister is in the middle of a battle for the position of head sect leader. She must not allow people from other sects to insult Yuxu disciples at will, right? What's more, he was the "demon suspect" she had captured personally. Therefore, it took Ling Yuan only a few seconds to think of this, and his expression quickly changed back to an anxious and angry one: "I work diligently in the Red Fire Palace, cultivating spiritual plants and refining pills every day, and have made countless contributions to Yuxu. We are one with Yuxu in honor and disgrace. You call the Red Fire Palace a waste, isn't that the same as insulting the Yuxu Dao Sect!" He did not argue with Liu Yuan at all, but only said that the Red Fire Palace was an integral part of the Yuxu Taoist sect. How could Ling Yao, as the eldest sister, not stop outsiders from scolding him? But he is obviously still too young and too naive. If he tries to use moral constraints, he must at least be an irrelevant outsider to be qualified to make comments. However, he ignored Liu Yuan's previous sentence which went straight to the point. Liu Yuan said with a smile, "Yuxu Dao Sect has produced many talented people, and the Red Fire Palace is well-known. Of course, they are all good, but I have always admired them, but this is the first time I have met a real person. It is said that seeing is believing. I saw that you can't even distinguish the basic herbs, so I thought that the Red Fire Palace was at the same level. It turns out that it is not. So, you are a waste?" Ling Yuan's eyes widened immediately: "I, I..." Liu Yuan said, "You want to say you're not useless? Then why can't you tell the difference between dragon blood grass juice and dragon blood? According to what you said, the people in the Red Fire Palace are all very powerful. You shouldn't be so bad?" Ling Yuan said subconsciously: "Naturally..." Liu Yuan said: "Then how could you have made a mistake by pouring a bottle of dragon blood into the river? There is only one truth - you did it on purpose!" See the picture poorly. Liu Yuan originally wanted to pretend to push up his glasses, but his hands were tied, so he had to give up. Ling Yuanzheng was so overwhelmed with cold sweat that he didn't know what to do. His face was pale and he chose to give up dejectedly. Liu Yuan was puzzled again: "Why don't you refute it?" Ling Yuan thought to himself, what's the point of my refutation? You've already said it all, and it's all over. Liu Yuan said with regret, "You even know how to use moral blackmail, but you can't see such an obvious substitution of concepts. You clearly said that you accidentally dropped the blood while helping someone heal their wounds, and the medicine didn't have your name on it, so you could just say someone else gave it to you. Why did you just admit that you swapped the dragon's blood yourself?" Ling Yuan's mind buzzed, and he glared at him suddenly: "You!" Not only is this person outspoken and unscrupulous, he also looks down on others as if asking how could you be so stupid that you don't even know how to do bad things. This is really too much! This is really too much!
Liu Yuan certainly wasn't here to be a detective. He had simply been stuck in Emperor Wu's tomb for too long and wanted to persecute the NPCs... Even if he didn't say it, since Ling Yao had spoken, he would certainly not be fooled. Ling Yuan was just making a last-ditch effort. Xiahou Cenyi looked at him from behind, blinked, and smiled even more deeply. It would be nice if he could always maintain this momentum, but unfortunately, when he is in front of a woman, he starts to look back and forth, feel awkward, and is cautious as if he is naturally in the wrong. However, this kind of "henpecked" is not bad... The little girl from the Yuxu Taoist sect seemed to like him very much, but she just said one thing and meant another. When Ling Yao saw that Liu Yuan's words had left Ling Yuan, who was trying to make fun of her, speechless, the corners of her mouth naturally curled up slightly, but then she pressed them down and pursed her lips. Ling Yuan is from the Red Fire Palace, which means that in the battle for the position of the leader, someone will do whatever it takes to achieve it from now on. I just don't know which one of the true legends of the Red Fire Palace it is... Just as he was thinking about it, Ling Zhen, who was following behind Liu Yuan, exclaimed in a low voice: "Ah! That dragon is rushing over!" As they talked, the black dragon that finally took shape looked ferocious and twisted. It did not look like a real dragon at all. Instead, it looked like a splash of thick ink, with sharp corners and bone spurs everywhere. The style of the painting was completely wrong. The aura exuded has surpassed the refining stage and reached the fusion stage. But with Lingyao and Xiahou here, there is nothing to be afraid of the dragon transformed from the shadow. Liu Yuan touched Ling Zhen's head and signaled her to stay calm. The other two boats moved a little closer. Ling Jie, who was standing on the deck, asked loudly what happened, and Zhiying and others also looked at Liu Yuan with concern. Liu Yuan was about to say that it was okay, there was just a traitor. Just now. "Whoosh-" Amid the thundering sound of the river, a sharp and tiny sound of breaking wind suddenly rang out. Ling Yuan, who was standing on the edge of the deck, suddenly screamed "Ah!", his eyes widened, he tightly covered his throat that was pierced by an arrow, raised his head and fell straight off the Star Raft! "Roar!" A shadow dragon that was several times larger than its size rushed over, knocked away the dragon that was trying to block it again, and threw it to the side violently. Then the black smoke on its body condensed into poisonous arrows and suddenly shot towards the Star Chariot. With a faint "click" sound, the already damaged formation on the bow was completely destroyed, and the entire ship was swept into the turbulent river current. Ling Yao's face darkened and he stretched out his hand to use his spiritual power to stabilize the boat. However, in just a short moment, the Star Raft had already deviated by dozens of feet. Ling Yuan's body left a trail of blood in the river before being swallowed up by the water and disappeared without a trace. The shadow dragon's slender and huge body coiled around the three star rafts for countless times. The surrounding river water seemed to be stained with ink. It dived its head and neck into the river, and when it came out, it made a swallowing motion, indicating that Ling Yuan would die in the dragon's belly. The shadow dragon wrapped around the ship tightly, and everyone naturally used all their strength to attack it. The scene was a little chaotic for a while, but the shadow dragon's body was like oil, and ordinary spell attacks were all ineffective. "Control the Star Raft with all your strength. I will deal with it." Ling Yao flew up and unsheathed the Demon-Subduing Sword with a faint green glow. The aura of the fusion period was unreserved, causing the shadow dragon to raise its head, rolling up a pair of green eyes with a look of some fear, but the dragon blood in its body boiled and was instantly covered by violence, roaring at Ling Yao. The cold Taoist nun's black clothes fluttered, the sword light split, the Big Dipper appeared behind her, the first star lit up, the spiritual power around her was vast, she raised her hand and used the "Tianshu Demon Suppression" move. The sword gleamed like a silk thread, suddenly leaving several white tracks. The first sword pierced directly into Shadow Dragon's eyes, and the rest of the swords hit the vital points. The huge authentic Taoist spiritual power penetrated into the body of this monster, almost crushing his internal organs. “Roar!” The shadow dragon raised his head and roared in pain, causing the river water to surge up wild waves that mixed with the gradually increasing rain and slammed into the shaking boat.
Although the Yuxu disciples were nervous and tried their best to control the Star Chariot, they couldn't help but cheer when they saw their admired senior sister displaying such powerful and majestic power. "Whoosh whoosh!" There was the sound of breaking wind again. “Keng—ka!” "Ah!" A Yuxu disciple suddenly collapsed to the ground, looking at the broken black arrow not far in front of him, swallowed his saliva, got up and bowed, saying: "Thank you, thank you for saving me..." After he finished bowing, he looked up and found that the person was Liu Yuan. He was stunned, and then he saw that the rope on his hand had been untied, and it was obvious that it was forcibly broken. "This is actually very easy to solve." Liu Yuan said. The Yuxu disciple could only laugh awkwardly and continued to stabilize the formation, thinking that this rope was said to be strong enough to seal the cultivation of the fusion stage, so how could it be easily untied... Liu Yuan smiled and withdrew his hand, squinting his eyes to look at the half-broken arrow on the ground. There was a green mark on it, like a snake or fire. In the Upper Central Realm, this is a mark that belongs exclusively to one sect. Outside the three dry points of the blue sky, on the road of killing. Biluo Mansion. Chapter 252: Disappearing Characters in the Picture Book! The Biluo Mansion is an organization located near the Easternmost Sea in Central Continent. To a certain extent, it can also be called a sect, and all the disciples in the sect are identified by code names. The mansion lord's code name is "Huangquan", and his face is always covered by a mask. It is said that this code name was passed down from master to disciple, but even the mansion lord's identity remains a mystery. Different from ordinary immortal cultivation sects, this organization's main business is to accept various commissions, train and accept immortal cultivators in order to better conduct business. It looks similar to the Qingxie Fang, but one is black and the other is white, and the rules are very different. Although the Qingxie Fang also has its gray areas, it is recognized by most of the righteous sects. There are also many things that will not be done on the boat. Its motto is "harmony brings wealth", and its overall image is positive. In theory, the Biluo Mansion would accept any commission, but because it was located in the eastern part of Central Plains where all kinds of people mixed together and evil ways lurked, most of the jobs it received were illegal, involving murder and robbery, and so on. Therefore, both players and NPCs habitually regarded it as a killer organization. Moreover, due to its geographical location, although the Zhongzhou sects wanted to eradicate it, they were no match for the hundreds of evil sects in the Far East Sea. No matter how strong a person was, they would fall into the trap and basically could not get out once they entered. Therefore, even if it is revenge, usually only the killer who did it can be caught and retaliated, while the headquarters of Biluo Mansion is still at large and no one dares to touch it. Liu Yuan picked up the half arrow and examined it carefully. It was indeed the unique marking symbol of Biluo Mansion. Was the attack this time carried out by the Biluo Mansion, the Yuxu Red Fire Palace, or a collaboration between the two? "It doesn't look like cooperation. The first person to be killed was Ling Yuan from the Red Fire Hall. His expression before death was clearly one of disbelief, but it's also possible... that his status was too low and he wasn't qualified to know the real situation. He was just a tool." Liu Yuan stared at the arrow with a serious look. "In short, there are only three possibilities: the Red Fire Hall blamed the Azure Palace, the Azure Palace used the Red Fire Hall, or they worked together." The first possibility is the most likely. In the game's plot, there is no trace of the involvement of the Biluo Mansion, and it is unlikely that the power grab within the Yuxu Taoist sect would be done under the guise of the Biluo Mansion. Not only would it give people a chance to criticize, it would also be very unsafe. The people of Yuxu Taoist sect are not fools. Even Ling Yuan knows how to use moral blackmail. However, Liu Yuan’s current existence is the biggest variable. He looked at the arrow and felt a little uneasy.
Ling Yao came to the tomb of Emperor Wu just to save him. So now that they were attacked in the Hualing River, it could be traced back to Liu Yuan. Although the battle for the headmaster of Yuxu Dao Sect in the game was fierce, it was not to this extent... So there is another possibility, that this attack was actually caused by Liu Yuan. Liu Yuan thought to himself, "There are only a few people I can capture in Biluo Mansion. The storyline of this organization hasn't been revealed much yet, and players only see it as a place to make extra money. There are only three female characters of relatively high status that I can capture, and it seems unlikely that they will come directly to me for a fight." He recalled it carefully in his mind.
