I drank the wine in the glass calmly, Shangguan Yun raised his head, met my eyes, and said: "This is a human sacrifice."
I picked up the chopsticks and slowly picked up the vegetables, Shangguan Yun said: "If they use foreigners as human sacrifices, I have nothing to do with how many people die, but they shouldn't have set their minds on me."
There was a hint of killing intent in his eyes, and the air in the entire water pavilion seemed to cool down all of a sudden.
"It just so happens that you have an enmity with the Satanism." He looked at me. "A few months ago, the son of the Pope of the Satanism sneaked into China and wanted to attack you, but he died in your hands."
I hooked the corner of my mouth and said: "Although the owner of the Shangguan family is not in the mountain city, he knows the affairs of the mountain city like the back of his hand."
Shangguan Yun smiled and said: "Ms. Yuan is a celebrity now, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes are watching your every move. The fact that you were assassinated has been quietly spread all over the country."
The corners of my mouth twitched twice, and I said, "So, I don't even have any privacy?"
"Ms. Yuan is worrying too much." Shangguan Yun said, "Anyone who dares to pry into your privacy has been dealt with long ago."
"By whom? Yin Shengyao?" I raised my eyebrows and said.
"Not only." Shangguan Yun said, "Tang Mingli, Bai Ningqing, Gao Han, and... me."
When he said the word "I", his eyes were a bit ambiguous. I fake coughed twice to cover up the embarrassment in my eyes.
Shangguan Yun's eyes were a little cold, and he said: "You killed Wright, the son of the Pope of Satanism, and the Pope is just such a child, he will never let you go, and he will attack you sooner or later, why don't we cooperate, come first Let's do it better, how about it?"
I said, "What's your plan, let's talk about it first?"
"I have been collecting information on Satanism for a while." Shangguan Yun said, "I got a list of members of Satanism in China."
A gleam flashed in my eyes, and I said, "I finally hit the point."
Shangguan Yun smiled evilly and said: "I knew it, you have no way to refuse."
"Let me see the list," I said.
"Wait a minute." He raised his hand as a signal, and said, "That list is very precious. In order to obtain it, I lost several capable subordinates. Of course you can read it, but you must form an alliance."
old fox!
I cursed in my heart, Shangguan Yun deserves to be Shangguan Yun, insidious and cunning, he acts very cautiously.
I said: "It's no problem to form an alliance. What do you want me to do?"
Shangguan Yun smiled and said: "It's very simple. I want to get rid of these people nationwide. They work for Satanism. It's not an exaggeration to say that they are traitors. If you think about it, you will agree."
I nodded and said, "That's right. Tell me, what do you want?"
"Elixir." He leaned forward slightly, and said, "I want you to provide me with enough elixir."
I looked at him coldly, and he said with a smile: "This is a tough battle. Satanism has been operating in China for a long time, and it is obvious that they want to extend their tentacles to our China. There are many powerful people among those people. If they are uprooted, our Shangguan family will probably suffer a lot of losses."
"Yes." I said.
"Cheerful!" He clapped his hands and laughed, and said, "Jun Yao, I like to discuss business with people like you. You act decisively and never procrastinate."
He picked up the wine glass and said, "Come on, after drinking this glass of wine, we are allies."
I also picked up the wine glass, and the two glasses collided together, making a crisp sound.
"Can you give me the list now?" I asked.
"Of course." He took out an envelope, and I pulled out a neatly folded piece of paper from it, and when I opened it, I was shocked.
The paper is not big, but the words on it are very small, densely written on a page, with names and identities, many of them have infiltrated into the key departments of the country, and some have even infiltrated into some research institutions of the country. It is known how many state secrets have been stolen and sent abroad.
No wonder the Satanism has developed rapidly over the years. The last time it came to deal with me, it was able to sneak into the mountain city quietly under the siege and interception of the special department.
It turned out that there was an inner ghost!
A killing intent flashed in my eyes, and I said, "Is your list reliable?"
Shangguan Yun said: "Absolutely reliable."
I stared into his eyes for a while and said, "Okay, I believe you. However, Shangguan Yun, if you let me know that you take advantage of this incident to kill innocent people, I will not let you go."
Shangguan Yun showed a bit of sadness, smiled wryly, and said: "So in your heart, I am this kind of person?"
I said lightly: "I don't have a deep relationship with you, I don't know who you are, so the ugly words must be said first."
The words "we don't have a deep relationship" pierced his chest like a knife, causing the expression on his face to sink immediately.
I know what he thinks of me, so I want to kill him in the cradle.
One Tang Mingli is enough to give me a headache, if I add a few more, do I think my life is too long
Shangguan Yun stood up, walked slowly to the window, opened the curtains, looked up, and could see several water pavilions scattered on the lake.
Those water pavilions were all lit up, and the wind gently bulged their curtains, revealing a few faces faintly.
Suddenly, there was the sound of weapons clashing, followed by a muffled groan. A person rolled out of the window and fell into the water, causing a huge splash.
The waterside pavilion immediately became chaotic, and a figure rushed out of the waterside pavilion at an extremely fast speed, turning into a beam of light and disappearing into the blurred night.
The corners of Shangguan Yun's mouth curled up, revealing a mysterious smile. I drank the wine and said, "Is he also on the list?"
"Lu Xiangdong." Shangguan Yun said, "The third child of the Lu family has just broken through the fifth rank. He left the customs today and called three or five friends to Yuehua Pavilion to celebrate. He has taken refuge in Satanism three years ago. There are a lot of resources in the hands of the church. It is thanks to the Satanism that he can break through the fifth rank so quickly."
I said: "If you kill people in Yuehua Pavilion, aren't you afraid that the people in Yuehua Pavilion will trouble you?"
The corner of Shangguan Yun's mouth curled up into a sinister smile, and he said, "Am I a person who looks forward and backward, and is afraid of wolves and tigers?"
He is not.
I stood up and said, "Since there is nothing else, I will take my leave first, thank you for your hospitality."
"You should recruit more followers." Shangguan Yun's voice came from behind.
I turned around, and he continued: "You are a majestic ninth-rank alchemist. There are only a handful of ninth-rank alchemists in China, but the power in your hands is very limited. If you have a lot of followers, you don't need to cooperate with me today Now, with your own power, you can eradicate these people."
I said coldly, "Why are you telling me this?"
Shangguan Yun said: "As an ally, I certainly hope you can rely on me, but as a friend, I hope you can live a better life."
I looked at him silently for a while and said, "I appreciate your kindness."
As soon as I walked to the door, I heard him say again: "The only thing you can rely on now is Yin Shengyao and others, but men are unreliable, and the power still has to be in your own hands."
I paused a little, but didn't look back.
Shangguan Yun originally arranged for someone to take me back to the hotel, but I refused. I was walking on the streets of the capital. It was already dark at this time, but the city was still shrouded in bustle.
I have to admit that Shangguan Yun is right.
Alchemists usually have poor combat effectiveness, so they will recruit a large number of followers to follow them, do things for them, and protect their own safety.
My combat power is not weak, so I never thought about recruiting followers.
The only power I have now is the loose cultivator in the mountain city led by Yun Yongqing.
But the talents of these casual cultivators are not high, and it is okay to do some small things, but it is not enough to do big things.
After passing a park in the middle of the street, I suddenly smelled a faint fragrance.
Lingzhi
With a thought in my heart, I turned around and walked into the park. I picked up a clump of flowers and plants, revealing a small red flower growing inside. The flower hadn't bloomed yet, it was just a small flower bud.
The little flower is very inconspicuous, and there is no record in the modern pharmacopoeia, but I am very happy.
This is... the fire-dispelling glazed grass? (to be continued)
