Chapter 268 - 268 Wuyin Cliff (x), Infernal Affairs (√)
As soon as Liu Yuan finished speaking, the sound of the door being pushed open and footsteps coming from the courtyard outside could be heard, followed by a mature female voice, “Altar Master, Holy Messenger, there was an abnormal spiritual energy fluctuation here just now, and there were signs of the formation being broken. May I ask if anyone has barged in?”
There were ‘only two’ Deputy Altar Masters in this Wuyin Cliff. Han Tianyi was one of them, and the one who had come was the former elder who had already retired, Su Lanfeng.
This woman was not easy to deal with. In terms of shrewdness, Han Tianyi, the arrogant and despotic second-generation, could not compare to her.
Xue Yan was a little nervous and could not help but look at the group of people in the room.
!!
Liu Yuan carried Zhizhi and placed her on the bed beside him. He gestured to Zhiying and the young lady took out the Mirror Moon Jade that had not been used for a long time. In an instant, she changed the appearance of everyone in the room.
Everyone’s looks in the room immediately dropped by a level, and their clothes became black.
However, the appearance of the Netherworld remained unchanged.
… Although she was wearing a mask and it did not make a difference whether she changed her appearance or not, what Liu Yuan wanted was her identity.
Netherworld was puzzled for a moment. Then, Liu Yuan walked over with a smile and pushed her shoulder, making her stand in the middle of the crowd, facing Zhiying. Her pupils shrank as she immediately understood that this guy was going to use her as a ‘Tiger’s Skin’ and pretend to be a member of Bi Luo Mansion!
Thinking back to what Liu Yuan had said, Netherworld suddenly had a bad feeling.
However, Liu Yuan had already cleared his throat and deliberately used a dark and deep tone to say, “The Bi Luo Mansion has something to discuss with the Holy Messenger. It’s not your place to ask about it.”
These words were actually a little deliberate, but if the people outside the door were suspicious and insisted on coming in to check, that would be exactly what Liu Yuan wanted.
Because they were going to witness the historical meeting between the demonic sect’s Holy Messenger and the Master of Bi Luo Mansion.
Such an explosive scene, any suspicion would be reduced to nothing under such an impact, and they would even start to worry about whether they would be killed to keep their mouths shut.
Xue Yan stared blankly, then looked at the calm expressions of everyone in the room. Seeing Senior’s unruffled behavior even though he was seriously injured, the panic in his heart suddenly calmed down, and he even felt that he was a bit funny just now.
That’s right, what’s there to panic about? There’s not only the demonic sect’s Holy Messenger, Daoist Ling Hua, and the Master of Bi Luo Mansion here, but most importantly, Senior is here!
Xue Yan, who had long been convinced by Liu Yuan, was a fanatical fan. He believed in Liu Yuan’s decision without a doubt and beautified his ability.
Although he did not know why Senior was so seriously injured, as long as Senior was here, there was nothing to be afraid of!
Even so, Xue Yan still deeply reflected on his panic just now. He thought he had grown a lot, but now it seemed that he was still not experienced enough, unable to remain calm even if a mountain collapsed in front of him.
Although he had already made a name for himself in the demonic sect, it was still because of the special power of the ‘Lightning Manipulation Art’ given to him by Senior. He still needed to train his mind and not let his guard down.
Xue Yan respected Liu Yuan in his heart. Whether it was intentional or not, his Senior would always guide him. He was simply a life mentor.
Liu Yuan did not know that Xue Yan’s imagination had gone from bad to worse, but from Xue Yan’s expression, Liu Yuan more or less knew something.
But the more Xue Yan admired him, the more he would not be wrongly influenced in the demonic sect, which was a good thing.
The footsteps outside the door changed from messy to neat, and finally stopped at the door.
Su Lanfeng took a few steps forward. From the outside, this beautiful middle-aged woman’s aura was similar to Hu Jiuniang’s, but it was not that natural charm. Instead, she was sharp and capable. She was wearing a dark blue tube top dress with a fur coat around her collar, which made her look a bit gentler.
After hearing Liu Yuan’s words, she was stunned. Her expression suddenly became a little strange. Her eyes were full of suspicion and some inexplicable absurdity, as if she found it ridiculous. But after pursing her lips, she still said, “Don’t people from Bi Luo Mansion need to report when they come to our territory? Aren’t you a little too arrogant? Besides, who are you? how dare you make such a big fuss in front of the Holy Messenger?”
She frowned and slowly asked questions to stall for time while winking at the people next to her, ready to attack at any time.
Su Lanfeng was indeed as suspicious as Liu Yuan had thought. She held her breath and focused as she quietly moved her feet and looked inside – there were still a few windows on the side of the room that were not closed.
The cold male voice in the room laughed, “You don’t know the rules, so I’ll let you know that I’m the only appointed Guardian under Lord Mansion Master Netherworld, Zhu Ren.”
Zhu Ren… was a homonym for ‘master’.
Outsiders might not have any thoughts about this fake name, but Netherworld immediately associated it with the meaning. After all, she was just forced by Ling Hua to admit that she was Liu Yuan’s female slave…
The Mansion Master of Bi Luo Mansion glared at Liu Yuan in embarrassment. The latter smiled evilly and tightened his grip on the invisible rope. He was delighted that he had gotten his revenge.
He had been forced into a life-and-death situation, and it was all because of this woman’s mess. He had to take revenge.
Outside, Liu Yuan’s strange choice of words caused Su Lanfeng to frown. What did he mean by ‘only appointed Guardian’? She had never heard of it before. However, he actually dared to directly use the Netherworld as a flag. He was truly audacious. There should be a limit to his nonsense.
“Even if you are a Guardian of Bi Luo Mansion, you shouldn’t speak in front of the Holy Messenger. Moreover, you are not a Guardian at all!” she said.
Su Lanfeng hollered as she flew forward with a determined expression. Spiritual energy gushed out from her body as she slammed the door open.
However, the room was not the scene she had imagined, where the Holy Messenger was held hostage, the Altar Master was killed, and a malicious murderer was stunned at first, then attacked her with an ominous glint in his eyes. Instead, it was a very harmonious scene of a serious negotiation where the Holy Messenger and the Mansion Master sat face to face, the new Altar Master was behind the Holy Messenger, and the person who spoke stood behind the Mansion Master, surrounded by maids serving them.
Wait a minute, Mansion Master?
Su Lanfeng stopped in her tracks and blurted out, “How is this possible?!”
Liu Yuan shouted and continued to act as the lackey of the Netherworld, “How audacious! How dare you break in without following the rules? Do you not respect our Bi Luo Mansion, or do you not even respect the Holy Messenger of your sect?”
He had just recovered from his injuries, so he could only force his momentum and could not really attack. However, as long as his intention was clear, as long as the other party knew how difficult it was to retreat, he could pick it up high and put it down gently to show his might. Then, the matter of temporarily hiding in Wuyin Cliff would be settled.
As expected, Su Lanfeng’s expression changed drastically as she hurriedly bowed, “Mansion M– Holy Messenger, please forgive me. I was worried about the safety of the Holy Messenger and was confused! Please spare this subordinate’s life, Holy Messenger!”
As she spoke, she knelt on the ground in fear.
Liu Yuan immediately realized that something was wrong. The first thing the beautiful middle-aged woman said was not the Holy Messenger, but the Mansion Master. She looked at Netherworld with a trace of shock and fear.
The people of the demonic cult would never fear the Master of Bi Luo Mansion. However, her ashen and fearful face made her look like… a spy who was discovered.
Liu Yuan subconsciously turned his head to look at Netherworld. The latter’s eyes were also filled with surprise. After meeting his questioning eyes, she nodded at him.
Liu Yuan was stunned.
F*ck! One head, two deputies, three Altar Masters, and two undercover agents. This wasn’t the Wuyin Cliff, but the action thriller film ‘Infernal Affairs’!
