Chapter 233 - 233 Bring Him Back to the Sect and Lock Him Up!
Liu Yuan’s words proved that the rumors about him and the Green Lotus Swordsman were true.
Although everyone knew that this news came from the Green Centipede and was most likely true, there were still some people who had doubts in their hearts. Some were disdainful of this kind of gossip that was like rootless duckweed, and some, such as Cen Shanzi, simply did not want to believe it.
However, the Green Lotus Swordsman’s behavior was indeed not quite in line with common sense.
For example, why did she go to the North Mansion to deal with the demonic sect after she went to the Water Moon Dock and failed to find Liu Yuan?
Some people guessed that she was heartbroken because of Liu Yuan’s half-heartedness. Some said that it was her duty as the Green Lotus Swordsman to exterminate the evil and defend the Dao. Some said that this had nothing to do with Liu Yuan and that the Green Lotus Swordsman was actually in the City of Ten Thousand Swords tracking the demonic sect’s spy…
In short, there were many different opinions.
But now, as the person involved, Liu Yuan had personally said a fact that seemed like a promise. All the speculations were settled.
Cen Shanzi’s eyes widened at his matter-of-fact tone, and he said angrily, “How could the sword son lose to you?!
Of course, he couldn’t be blamed for being too extreme. The eyes of the disciples of the Taiqing Pavilion were also filled with a sense of dream-breaking, but when they thought of Liu Yuan’s sword attack just now, they felt that they were not strong enough and did not dare to speak.
Before Liu Yuan could retort, Xiahou Cenyi said lightly, “What’s so strange about her losing to my Junior Brother?”
Cen Shanzi was extremely angry and said, “He…”
When he met the woman’s icy red eyes, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on his head. He instantly calmed down and even had the urge to shiver.
The disciple of Taiqing Pavilion lowered his voice and said, “It’s not strange indeed.”
In front of one of the world’s only Crossing Calamity stage powerhouses, he had no choice but to lower his head.
It was not embarrassing.
The Taiqing Pavilion had completely shriveled up, but the other sects and schools were watching the show happily. At the same time, they did not forget that this matter was not over yet! According to the information from the Green Centipede, the Xuanyin family was already discussing the marriage with the City of Ten Thousand Swords.
After the Signing Sword Meet, the City Lord, Duan Lanruo, personally admitted that she had already acknowledged Liu Yuan as her godson, and that the Family Head of the Xuanyin Family was still in the City of Ten Thousand Swords.
In fact, most people treated this news as nonsense. After all, everyone knew that the Xuanyin family did not need men.
However, they could not hold on any longer. The Xuanyin family could be said to have made a big move. This month, they had been searching for Liu Yuan’s whereabouts near the White Dragon River, and everyone knew about it.
The Young Mistress of the Xuanyin famliy and the Green Lotus Swordsman… Did he want to marry both of them?
Since he had said that he would marry the Green Lotus Swordsman, how would the Xuanyin family explain themselves? It was hard to say for sure what would happen next.
But at least for now, Liu Yuan felt that he had made the right bet.
After Ling Hua was stunned for a moment, her tone seemed to become gentler as she said, “I see, but I heard that the Young Mistress of the Xuanyin family also wants to marry you. Family Head Ye is currently discussing the marriage in the City of Ten Thousand Swords. There are also two women from an Immortal cultivation sect in the Jiang Kingdom called the Water Moon Dock who almost married you. In addition, I wonder what relationship you have with these few people who have been with you all this time?”
Ling Hua’s series of questions caused the surroundings to fall silent. After the Sky Treasure Pavilion’s seniority was lowered and the Taiqing Pavilion’s defeat, the disciples of the Jade Mirage Sect suddenly began to panic.
As one of the three beauties of Jade Mirage Sect, Ling Jie looked at her and hesitated.
Although this tone did not seem to be wrong, and it did not seem like an aggressive ‘adulterous’ remark, they had never seen their Senior Sister so interested in a man’s scandal. This had exceeded the general concern for her future opponent.
If she wanted to show concern, she should at least be concerned about the other party’s strength!
For example, his cultivation method, his master’s inheritance, his realm, his moves, and so on… Just now, this guy had even used a very powerful sword move. Shouldn’t she have investigated these things? Why did he ask how many women he had, and what did it have to do with these women?
Ling Jie looked at Eldest Senior Sister, then at Cen Shanzi, who was about to vomit blood. She muttered in his heart, “It can’t be, right? Eldest Senior Sister Yingluo has been cultivating for hundreds of years and has always been alone. I’ve never heard of her having any relationship with anyone.”
She had obviously chosen to forget that the Green Lotus Swordsman had also cultivated in the Taiqing Pavilion for hundreds of years, and had never appeared in front of anyone. Just like that, someone had picked her.
Being suddenly asked, Hong Luan was at a loss… This little puppet did not know what her relationship with Liu Yuan was. She had never learned this and only knew how to kiss, hug, and raise him up.
Of course, the little puppet’s identity could not be exposed. This group of people was eyeing the things in the Martial Emperor’s Tomb like tigers eyeing their prey.
They could not know about Zhiying too… Although Ling Hua was very tolerant, no matter how magnanimous a woman was, she could not accept a daughter so easily.
She referred to Ning Xiangrong who was still at Water Moon Dock. Sigh, forget about the awkwardness back then.
Liu Yuan said, “This is my maidservant, Hong Luan. My guard, Zhiying. And this is a child that a friend entrusted to me to take care of temporarily. Her name is Zhizhi.”
At the moment, they did not have any relationship, so Liu Yuan was confident.
He then took a deep breath and said, “Cike is deeply in love with me, and there are some other reasons that I can’t control. I have to be responsible for her. When I lost my cultivation and was trapped in Water Moon Dock, Rongrong and Siyin also helped me a lot… These girls and the others are like the Swordsman, I can’t let go of them.”
After a short silence, Ling Hua’s bright eyes glowed and she said softly, “I see.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the others all looked at each other in disbelief.
Explosive, absolutely explosive! This guy actually said something like ‘you are all my wings’ in front of so many sects!
Cen Shanzi was dazed at first, but then his face gradually darkened. He sneered in his heart, “This guy is courting death.”
The Pavilion Master had deep feelings for the Swordsman. Moreover, the Green Lotus Swordsman had given up her freedom due to her responsibility. Shen Lin felt guilty for his sister. He would never allow her to marry a man with many wives and concubines.
The Xuanyin family would probably be even more so. When the time came for negotiations between the two sides, Liu Yuan would have to bear the consequences.
This guy wanted to be with all of these women? He was simply daydreaming!
The true disciple of the Taiqing Pavilion could already imagine the scene of this scumbag being punished.
Liu Yuan observed Ling Hua’s reaction and found that she did not show any signs of pulling out the sword. He was relieved.
‘Whew… I made the right bet.’
According to Liu Yuan’s thoughts, since Ling Hua had already obtained the news that ‘Jiang Feng had many wives and concubines’, she would definitely know more. At the very least, she should know about all the women that Liu Yuan had mentioned.
Since she already knew and was here to ask, what did she want to know?
There could only be one truth!
It was Liu Yuan’s attitude towards these women!
It had already happened, and those women were obviously dead set on him, and had put in a lot of effort for it. If he were to draw a clear line now, then he would be a true scumbag.
On the contrary, he had chosen to be serious and responsible. He would rather face the risk of being despised by the world and being hunted down by the two forces to answer the girls’ expectations. He was basically the same as Liu Junxuan in Ling Hua’s impression. This was the only way to survive.
Ling Hua was still a pure girl that was virtuous, generous, and not jealous.
Haha… Hahahaha… The God of Conquering Strategy, no problem, no problem at all! Steady!
Liu Yuan could not help but set off fireworks in his heart. He looked around and said, “I’m sure everyone didn’t come to this Secret Realm to understand this one’s situation. There’s one thing I have to make clear. This Secret Realm was previously in a closed state and isolated from spiritual energy. Not long ago, the restriction was opened and suffered a spiritual energy impact. I’m afraid the Secret Realm can’t be maintained for long. Fellow Daoists and seniors, it’s best to do what needs to be done.”
Only then did everyone come to their senses. That’s right, they were not here to gossip. The most important thing was still to explore the Secret Realm.
However, this guy in front of him seemed to have been in the Secret Realm for a long time.
Liu Yuan smiled wryly. “Fellow cultivator Tang and I entered this Secret Realm by mistake. Our spiritual power was restricted and it was already very difficult for us to survive. It was not easy for us to wait for the restriction to be lifted. How could we have the time to take anything from the tomb of the Martial Emperor? Every inch of land and grass on this island is intact. However, this puppet, as Daoist Ling Jue said, has a high research value. My maidservant happens to be proficient in the art of engineering. If I bring it back to Baichan court, it will be more useful.”
In fact, after thoroughly studying the blueprint, it would not be difficult for Hong Luan to make another one. After taking the Wood Essence Pearl, it would not matter what the empty shell was.
He and Tang Yuanhua exchanged a look. The latter worked in the Green Centipede and was a smart person. Naturally, he knew how to cooperate with him. He quickly agreed.
He was an outstanding outer sect disciple of the Taiqing Pavilion and had a high chance of entering the inner sect or even becoming a successor disciple. Cen Shanzi had an impression of him and had no reason to help Liu Yuan from his standpoint, so everyone believed his words.
“Since you’ve subdued this puppet by yourself, we have no objections. Besides, this is a gift from Senior Xiahou.”
Everyone exchanged pleasantries and fake smiles. They each sent people to search the island, and they were busy. Finally, everything was back to normal.
The people from the Sword Pavilion had suffered a lot, so they buried their heads in looking for some natural treasures to make up for their mistakes.
Liu Yuan looked at the remains of the Palace Spirit on the ground and suddenly felt a little troubled.
Ning Xiangrong’s clothes had been sewn into his sleeve, and with her Golden Core cultivation base, there should have been more than enough space for her left and right sleeves to accommodate the cosmic formation. But who knew that one day, she would be able to store a Gundam…
Who could f*cking let go of this?
He was almost out of mana again… His overbearing attitude just now was just a bluff. If this group of people decided to gang up on him, Liu Yuan could only run away. However, after he became the Martial Granduncle of Sky Treasure Pavilion, who would dare to do that?
However, the few people from the Sky Treasure Pavilion had to come over and unwillingly bow to Liu Yuanxing and call him Senior Granduncle.
Perhaps because he was still a little suspicious, Fei Chen took the opportunity to ask a few questions while greeting Xiahou Cenyi. But from his fearful eyes, it was obvious that he respected the Grand Elder.
Liu Yuan could not use his true world in the sleeve technique, nor could he ask for help from others. For a moment, they were in a deadlock.
He raised his head and looked at Ling Hua.
At this moment, the Senior Sister of Jade Mirage Sect was discussing some things with another one of the three beauties of Jade Mirage Sect, Ling Jie. The atmosphere was very serious. Their conversation was blocked by spiritual power, and Liu Yuan could only hear a little.
Ling Jie frowned and calculated something. A faint golden compass appeared in her hand. The needle on it was very unstable and shook left and right.
Ling Hua did not seem angry at all. She turned her head and glanced at Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan moved closer and closer, trying to activate the illustration card guide. This way, he could cast spells directly and had more confidence.
However, the closer they got, the more the conversation they heard was not right. Even with Liu Yuan’s cultivation level, he could ignore the spiritual power barrier.
“Senior Sister, are there really demons in this Secret Realm?” Ling Jie frowned and said very seriously.
The compass in his hand was swaying left and right.
Liu Yuan was slightly taken aback.
So they were discussing the matter of the demon race… However, the remains of the Three-headed Heavenly Demon had indeed not been dealt with yet, so it was only natural that it would be detected.
However, so far, other than the Jade Mirage Sect, which had already sensed the second invasion of the demon tribe, the other sects were still unaware that the demon tribe had reentered. In order to calm the people, the Jade Mirage Sect would not make the matter public for a long time, but would quietly clean up the matter.
Liu Yuan sighed in pity. He had originally planned to pick up some scraps and absorb the remaining demonic Qi from the Three-headed Heavenly Demon’s corpse. Now, he could only pretend that he did not know what the demon race was and what had happened.
“Of course. Turn this Dubhe Compass carefully. Do you see it? ”
Ling Jie scratched her head and said, Oh, Senior Sister… Please forgive me. This is the first time I’ve used this compass. It’s from the southwest direction. No, it’s from the southeast. The southwest…”
“Be patient,” Ling Hua said. “Wait for it to stabilize. The place with the most demonic Qi is where the demons are.”
Liu Yuan stopped in his tracks and looked at the illustrated handbook page that had finally been activated.
[Character: Ling Hua (5-star)]

[Level: Immortal Dao, Soul Formation, sixth level]

It’s… Huh? Wait a minute? Daoist-demon coexistence? Eh?
Liu Yuan slowly typed out a question mark, then looked at Ling Hua in confusion.
“Uh, i-i-is there a mistake?” Ling Jie’s forehead was covered in sweat. She looked at the compass in fear, then at her Senior Sister.
“How is it?” Ling Hua’s tone remained calm.
Ling Jie took a deep breath, and her eyes flickered. Finally, she turned around and said with difficulty, “The demon race… The demon race may have already possessed someone…”
When she turned around, she revealed the compass in her hand. The needle was pointing at Liu Yuan!
Ling Hua looked at Liu Yuan, and the mist on her face finally dissipated, revealing a beautiful and cold face. She pulled out her bright Demon Subduing Sword and quickly said, “That’s right! If the demon has possessed us, what should the Jade Mirage Sect do?”
Ling Jie was stunned for a moment. She then thought that Senior Sister was testing her and hurriedly replied, “I’ll bring him back to the sect and lock him up. I’ll make a decision depending on the degree of the demon’s possession!”
