247 Actually, This Is Very Easy to Untie
The Jade Mirage Sect was divided into four main palaces, which were established by the four disciples of Grandmaster Liu Yi. After thousands of years and countless generations, it evolved into four huge and complicated master factions. Every competition for the position of Sect Master was decided among the four palaces.
Ling Hua and Ling Yu were in the first palace, which was called the Danqing Palace.
The Palace Master was their master, the current Sect Master Sheng’e. Currently, there were five direct disciples of the ‘Ling’ generation, including Ling Hua, Ling Deng, Ling Yi, Ling Ying, and Ling Yu.
Ling Jie, who on the Starfall ship, was also an inner sect disciple like Ling Zhen, who was in Liu Yuan’s arms. However, he was different from Ling Zhen. This was because Ling Jie, who had a higher talent and cultivation, was preparing for the True Inheritance Trial. If he succeeded, he would be Ling Hua’s true Sixth Junior Brother.
However, the competition for the position of a core disciple was equally intense. Compared to the Sect Master competition, it was in a different circle, and these were all off-topic.
The second palace was called the Vast Sea Palace, the third was the Pine Palace, and the fourth was the Scarlet Fire Palace that Liu Yuan had mentioned.
Among them, Palace Master of Danqing would be in charge of Dao arts, while the Vast Sea Palace Master’s was in charge of sword arts, which was more inclined toward combat. Meanwhile, Pine Palace was in charge of the Law Enforcement Hall, and the Scarlet Fire Palace managed the Herb Hall and the Alchemist Workshop, which were mainly logistics.
Players also needed to choose their general direction and join the corresponding branch palaces, allowing lifestyle players to enjoy the various benefits of the sect.
The moment Liu Yuan opened his mouth, he ridiculed the Herb Hall and called the Scarlet Fire Palace useless. He was not polite at all, causing the expression of the Jade Mirage disciple called Ling Yuan to instantly turn very ugly.
He stood up and was about to say, ‘Why don’t you take a look at where you are? How dare you insult an entire branch palace of the Jade Mirage Sect?’
However, he saw Liu Yuan’s face clearly.
There was also his position — Xiahou Cenyi was on his right, Ling Hua was on his left, and Ling Zhen was behind him.
boxn ov el. c o mLing Yuan felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head. He could only close his mouth and clench his teeth.
This person, this person who could be called Jiang Feng or Liu Yuan, he really could not afford to offend him.
By now, the news of him being the adopted son of the City Lord of the City of Ten Thousand Swords, the prospective son-in-law of the Xuanyin family, and the Junior Brother of the Grand Elder of the Sky Treasure Pavilion had probably spread throughout the entire Central Plains.
Even though he had become a prisoner and had to be escorted back to the sect for investigation, he was still an ordinary inner sect disciple. No matter how righteous he was, he could not erase the huge difference in status between them.
Otherwise, those people in the Sky Treasure Pavilion who had just tolerated their ancestors would probably be the first to rush out and beat him up for being disrespectful.
The only thing he could do was to report this matter to his superiors and let the Scarlet Fire Palace Master come personally to check the situation. Only then could they have a relatively equal conversation. Naturally, there would be no problem with questioning him.
However, even if the Scarlet Fire Palace Master wanted to be on equal footing with this guy, it was unlikely that he would be able to do so, because the other party’s status was obviously higher than that of the Sky Treasure Pavilion’s Pavilion Master.
No matter how powerful the Jade Mirage SEct was, the Master of the Sky Treasure Pavilion was still slightly higher than the Scarlet Fire Palace Master.
Logically speaking, Ling Yuan could only swallow his anger and remain silent. However, he thought of another person who could challenge Liu Yuan. She was the only person who could and needed to question Liu Yuan’s words.
Ling Hua.
The highly respected Eldest Senior Sister, at the time of the fight for the position of Sect Master, must not allow the people of other sects to wantonly insult the disciples of the Jade Mirage Sect’s palace, right?
Moreover, this man was a ‘demon suspect’ that she had personally caught.
Therefore, it only took Ling Yuan a few seconds to think about it. His expression quickly changed back to an angry and indignant look. “The Scarlet Fire Palace has been working hard every day to cultivate spirit plants and refine pills. We have made countless contributions to the Jade Mirage Sect and are one with the Jade Mirage. If you call the Scarlet Fire Palace trash, isn’t that the same as insulting the Jade Mirage Sect?”
He did not say anything to refute Liu Yuan, only saying that the Scarlet Fire Palace was an inseparable part of the Jade Mirage Sect. How could Ling Hua, as the Eldest Senior Sister, not stop outsiders from scolding them?
However, he was obviously still too young and too naive. If he wanted to use morality as a premise, he had to at least be an unrelated outsider to be qualified to point out the situation.
However, he ignored Liu Yuan’s first sentence, which pointed to the core.
“Oh,” Liu Yuan said with a smile. “The Jade Mirage Sect is full of talents, and the Scarlet Fire Hall is famous far and wide. Of course, they are all good. I’ve always looked forward to meeting you guys, and now I finally have. As the saying goes, seeing is better than hearing. I saw that you couldn’t even distinguish the basic herbs, so I thought that everyone in the Scarlet Fire Hall was of this standard. So it’s not the case. In this case, you’re the one who’s particularly useless?”
Ling Yuan’s eyes immediately widened, “I… I…!”
Liu Yuan said, “You want to say that you’re not trash? Then why can’t you tell the difference between Dragon Blood Grass Pulp and dragon blood? According to what you said, the people from the Scarlet Fire Palace are all very powerful, so you shouldn’t be so bad?”
Ling Yuan subconsciously replied, “Naturally.”
Liu Yuan said, “Then how could you have made a mistake by pouring a bottle of dragon’s blood into the river? There is only one truth. You did it on purpose!”
The dagger was revealed.
Liu Yuan originally wanted to push up his glasses for dramatic effect, but his hands were tied up, so he could only give up.
Ling Yuanzheng’s forehead was covered in a cold sweat, and he was at a loss. His face was ashen, and he chose to give up in dejection.
“Why aren’t you retorting anymore?” Liu Yuan was puzzled.
Ling Yuan said, “What is there to refute? You’ve already revealed everything. Everything is over.”
Liu Yuan clicked his tongue regretfully. “You even know how to use moral coercion, but how can you not see the obvious concept of swapping? You clearly said that you were treating someone’s injury and accidentally dropped it. The medicine didn’t have your name on it. You could have just said that someone else gave it to you. Why did you just admit that you swapped the dragon blood?”
Ling Yuan’s mind buzzed and he suddenly glared at him. “You!”
Not only was this person’s mouth wide open, but he was also condescending as if he did not even care that he was doing bad things.
This was simply bullying! This is too much!
Of course, Liu Yuan was not here to be a detective. He had simply been cooped up in the Martial Emperor’s Tomb for too long and wanted to persecute the NPC…
Even if he did not say it, since Ling Hua had spoken, of course, they would not be fooled. At this point, Ling Yuan was just in a dying struggle.
Xiahou Cenyi looked at him from behind. She blinked and his smile deepened.
It would be great if he could maintain this momentum. Unfortunately, in front of women, he began to be overcautious and put in a dilemma. He was careful as if he was naturally in the wrong. However, this kind of ‘domestic fear’ was not bad…
The little girl from the Jade Mirage Sect seemed to like it, but she probably wouldn’t admit it.
Ling Hua knew that Ling Yuan wanted to make her embarrass herself. When she saw that Liu Yuan’s words had rendered Ling Yuan speechless, the corners of her mouth naturally curled up slightly, but she immediately pressed down and pursed her lips.
Ling Yuan was a member of the Scarlet Fire Palace, which meant that there were people who would do anything to win the fight for the position of Sect Master.
However, she did not know which of the core disciples of the Scarlet Fire Palace was this young man.
Just as he was thinking, Ling Zhen, who was following behind Liu Yuan, exclaimed in a low voice, “Argh! The dragon is coming!”
As the few of them conversed, the black dragon that had finally taken form was ferocious and twisted. It did not look like the shadow of a real dragon at all. Instead, it looked like a thick brush of ink that had been splashed away. There were sharp horns and bone spikes everywhere. The style of the painting was very wrong.
The Qi that it exuded had already surpassed the void refinement realm and reached the Form Synthesis stage.
However, with Ling Hua and Xiahou, the dragon that the shadow had turned into was nothing to be afraid of.
Liu Yuan touched Ling Zhen’s head, indicating for her to calm down. The other two ships moved closer, and Ling Jie standing on the deck asked loudly what happened. Zhiying and the others looked at Liu Yuan with concern.
Liu Yuan was about to say that it was fine, but there was a traitor.
At this moment.
Crack–
In the thunderous sound of the river, a sharp and tiny wind-breaking sound suddenly sounded.
Ling Yuan, who was standing at the edge of the deck, suddenly let out an ‘Ah!’
With a blood-curdling screech, his eyes widened, and he clutched his throat that had been pierced by the arrow. He raised his head and fell straight down from the Starfall ship!
Roar!
The dragon shadow that was several times larger rushed over and knocked away Chuichui, who tried to block it again. She was violently thrown to the side, and the black smoke on its body condensed into poisonous arrows that suddenly shot at the Starfall ship.
With a faint ‘ka’ sound, the already damaged formation on the bow of the ship was completely destroyed, and the entire ship was swept into the rapid current of the river.
Ling Hua’s expression sank, and she stretched out her hand to channel her spirit energy to stabilize the ship. However, in such a short period of time, the Starfall ship had already deviated by a distance of several hundred feet. After Ling Yuan’s body created a trail of blood in the river, it was swallowed up by the river in the blink of an eye and disappeared without a trace.
The shadow dragon’s slender and huge body circled the three starships a few times, and the river water around it seemed to be soaked in ink. Its head went into the river, and when it came out again, it made a swallowing gesture, indicating that Ling Yuan had died in the dragon’s belly.
The shadow dragon wrapped itself tightly around the ship, and everyone naturally attacked it with all their might. The scene was a little chaotic for a moment, but the shadow dragon’s body was like oil, and ordinary spells were ineffective against it.
“Control the ship with all your might. I’ll deal with it.”
Ling Hua flew up and unsheathed the demon-subduing sword, which glowed with a faint green light. She did not hold back the aura of the Form Synthesis stage. The shadow dragon raised its head and rolled its green eyes, showing a little fear. However, the dragon blood in its body was boiling and was covered by violence in the blink of an eye. It roared at Ling Hua.
The cold Daoist Nun’s black clothes fluttered in the wind. The sword light split up, and the Big Dipper appeared behind her. The first star lit up, and the spiritual energy around her was vast. She raised her hand and used the ‘Tianshu Demon Suppression’.
The sword light was like a train, suddenly drawing a few white traces. The first sword went straight into shadow dragon’s eyes, and the other swords all hit its vital points. The huge spiritual power of the Orthodox Daoist sect entered the body of this monster, almost crushing its internal organs.
Roar!
The shadow dragon raised his head and roared in pain, causing the river water to surge violently. It mixed with the gradually growing rain and hit the shaking boat.
Although the disciples of the Jade Mirage Sect were nervous and tried their best to control the Starfall ship, their eyes could not help but light up and cheer when they saw their Eldest Senior Sister, who they admired, show her power and majesty.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The sound of wind breaking could be heard again.
Creak-ka!
“Ah!” A Jade Mirage disciple suddenly fell to the ground and looked at the broken black arrow not far in front of him. He swallowed his saliva, got up, and said, “Thank you, thank you for saving me…”
After he finished bowing, he raised his head and realized that it was Liu Yuan. He was stunned for a moment, then he saw that the rope on his hand had been untied. It was obvious that it had been forcefully broken.
“This is actually very easy to untie,” Liu Yuan said.
The disciple of the Jade Mirage Sect laughed hideously and continued to stabilize the formation, thinking that the rope was said to be enough to seal the cultivation of the Form Synthesis stage, so how could it be easy to untie…?
Liu Yuan smiled and retracted his hand. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the broken arrow on the ground. There was a green mark drawn on it, like a snake or fire.
In Shangyang, this was a mark that belonged to a sect.
Outside of the three celestial eyes, in the path of killing…
The Bi Luo Mansion.
