Listening to the commotion outside, Fang Yuan knew that his plan with the little prince must have been successful. Just when he was considering whether to leave or stay here to observe, he suddenly felt an unusual energy. This made him suddenly alert, his eyes turned sharply, and then he saw a green shadow coming with a sword, breaking through the remaining formations around him.
Even if most of the formation has been destroyed by the treasure seal of the leader of the Wuchi Kingdom, with less than half of the formation still barely holding on, it would be very terrifying for someone to break through it with a sword. Fang Yuan turned his head to look at it in an instant. After passing by, his eyes met with that person's.
Then one of them had a sneer on their face, and the other had a look of surprise.
It was Fang Yuan who showed surprise!
Because he guessed that this person was the demon concubine mentioned by the little prince, but he didn't expect that she was actually an acquaintance.
Lu Xinyao, a classmate from Taiyuecheng and a disciple of Baihua Valley!
"It's really you..."
Before Fang Yuan could express his doubts, the beauty, or rather Lu Xinyao, was looking at Fang Yuan attentively, and then she smiled slightly and said, "I heard your voice just now, and I thought it sounded familiar to me. I heard you right!" After saying that, he looked Fang Yuan up and down, shook his head slightly, and said, "It's only been three years since we last met, and you have just established your middle-level cultivation. You haven't made much progress!"
Fang Yuan's heart froze slightly when she saw through her cultivation level at a glance.
He originally only had the cultivation level of the second level of Foundation Establishment, but he had just become the Water Element Thunder Spirit, and his cultivation level had also been greatly improved. Now he has reached the fifth level of Foundation Establishment. It can be said that it is a rare rapid improvement in the world, and this is exactly The benefit brought by the water element thunder spirit is that now that his cultivation level has just been improved and his realm is not yet stable, Lu Xinyao can see through it at a glance
Looking up at Lu Xinyao again, he saw that she was wearing a green skirt, she was very noble, she had a slender figure, her face was as white as fat, but her lips were as red as blood, and her eyes were as bright as a pair of long and narrow eyes. , with five slender fingers, holding the sword, it looked like a game, but from her thin and thin body, Fang Yuan felt a terrifying aura as deep as the sea...
What level of cultivation is she now
When she left the Devil's Breath Lake, she was only in the realm of Qi training. How could she advance so quickly now
This feeling even made Fang Yuan feel unconvinced.
My cultivation level is supposed to be the fastest among my peers. Why is she faster than me
"How will you be here?"
After suppressing the boundless doubts in his heart, Fang Yuan asked calmly with a calm voice.
Lu Xinyao looked at Fang Yuan, as if she caught Fang Yuan's surprised look when he saw his own cultivation. She seemed a little proud, and smiled softly: "The country of Yue is just a small pond, it cannot be raised." When the big fish come out, of course I should leave. Just like you, didn’t you stay in that small place and went to Baxiazhou to seize the treasure?”
Fang Yuan naturally wouldn't tell her. If he hadn't been forced to do so, he might have stayed in Qingyang Sect as an elder...
Putting aside the distracting thoughts in his heart, he looked at Lu Xinyao attentively: "Aren't you already... turned into a puppet?"
At the beginning, everyone participated in the trial of the Demonic Breath Lake of Yue Kingdom. In the end, Lu Xinyao and Yuan Ya broke into the territory of the Tribulation Demon Puppet. Yuan Ya got the inheritance and made Lu Xinyao into a puppet. Later, Yuan Ya was killed by Fang Yuan, and Lu Xinyao He has also disappeared since then...
But what Fang Yuan didn't understand was how could she, who had been turned into a puppet, be so good now
"Who can tell whether things in the past are true or false?"
Lu Xinyao just smiled lowly, with a proud and cunning look in her eyes.
It was obvious that she was very satisfied that Fang Yuan would ask this question.
And Fang Yuan just looked at him, flashing through his mind the fierce battle with Yuan Ya at Devil's Breath Lake, as well as Lu Xinyao's sudden disappearance afterwards, and even what he had heard from the young prince about Wu Chi. Everything that happened in the country, all kinds of signs were interspersed in his mind like lightning, and he suddenly said: "It turns out that the person who received the inheritance of the Tribulation Demonic Puppet is..."
Lu Xinyao obviously didn't expect that his mind was spinning so fast, but she was slightly startled.
When he reached her, she smiled again and said, "But to be honest, I still have to thank you..."
Fang Yuan just looked at her coldly without saying a word.
Lu Xinyao said: "If you hadn't given up the inheritance on your own initiative, how could such a great opportunity fall on me?"
He laughed as he spoke: "But even though I got such a great opportunity, it's still hard to tell... Even if I don't take you seriously, there are still a few powerful people in the five great immortal sects of the Yue Kingdom. Even with the existence of the Immortal Alliance, I was timid at that time and of course I didn’t dare to let others know about it, so my poor little Senior Brother Yuan... "
"You pushed me to the stage?"
Fang Yuan lowered his voice and said slowly: "So it was him who was made into a puppet, not you?"
Lu Xinyao looked at him and just smiled.
When Fang Yuan saw her smile, he reacted: "No, he was not made into a puppet, otherwise I would have been able to tell the clues at that time. At that time, Yuan Ya really thought that he had obtained the inheritance. It was me, thinking that everything he wanted to do at that time was his own idea, but he didn't know that all his ideas came from you who was hiding behind him like a puppet!"
As he said this, he felt a little enlightened: "Like the current leader of Wuchi Kingdom?"
Fang Yuan's mind was spinning very quickly. When he talked about his father's affairs with the young prince before, he felt a little surprised.
The Wuchi Kingdom established Taoism as a state, but after all, it is not a secular country. In the eyes of practitioners, I am afraid that there is no concept of loyalty to the emperor. If the leader of the Wuchi Kingdom is really controlled by people using demonic methods, those ministers How could he sit back and ignore it and let it be manipulated
I'm afraid they might have already shot up and pushed the king down.
But these ministers allowed the demon concubine to cause trouble, but none of them dared to intervene. They only explained one point. They did not think that the king of Wuchi Kingdom was controlled by people using demonic methods, or that they could not find the king. The signs of being controlled are just like when Fang Yuan heard the little prince talk about the affairs in the palace, he didn't believe what he said, thinking that this might be just an ordinary harem jealousy!
"That's why I said I want to thank you..."
Looking at Fang Yuan's expression, Lu Xinyao looked a little proud, and laughed softly: "If you don't accept the inheritance of the immortal doll, you have no idea what kind of world it is. That is the power of the immortal way, which is higher than magic, even higher than The existence of supernatural powers…”
He said with a chuckle: "Don't think that I used magic to control them. Whether it is Senior Brother Xiao Yuan in the past or His Majesty the Emperor now, they will do that because they think that way. That’s what they think, this is an idea born in their own hearts, so how can there be any trace of being controlled, how can it be seen through by others?”
Fang Yuan's face gradually turned cold, and he even felt a little scary.
A person is controlled, but there is no trace, and he doesn't even know it...
No matter how many things he did that were controlled by others, he still thought it was his own idea and found reasons for himself!
What kind of method is this
"Back then, you really shouldn't have given up on that inheritance..."
Lu Xinyao continued talking excitedly. It seemed that in the past three years, she had been feeling very happy, but she had no one to share her happiness with, and she was also frustrated. Now that she met Fang Yuan, she could finally say it out: "Then It is a supreme power. Now I have only scratched the surface of my understanding, and I feel the power to control everything, even if the other party is a golden elixir or a Nascent Soul... I haven't tried the Nascent Soul yet, but I will try it in the future. 's... Anyway, in your eyes, they are just tools... "
"Do people who are being controlled never know that they are being controlled?"
Fang Yuan looked at Lu Xinyao, his expression became more and more complicated.
As he spoke, he couldn't bear to have a big dream he experienced in the Devil's Breath Lake flash through his mind. He thought that the dream was all weird, and his face gradually turned cold: "But how do you know that now? Do you have your true thoughts?"
"You... talk too much nonsense!"
When Lu Xinyao heard these words, her face suddenly turned cold, as if she had been hit by a taboo.
She didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, but her expression suddenly changed and she whispered: "Bring the Seven Treasure Thunder Tree over here!"
Fang Yuan looked at the Seven Treasures Thunder Tree at his hand. He had just refined the Water Vein Spirit and extracted a large amount of thunder and lightning power. But the amazing thing is that such a small tree still shines with lightning and its power does not seem to have diminished. A lot, it can be seen that it is really extraordinary. Looking up again at Lu Xinyao's face covered with anger, he slowly shook his head and said: "You can't take away this tree!"
A stern look flashed across Lu Xinyao's face, and she whispered: "Do you know how long I have been planning for this Seven Treasures Thunder Tree? Do you know that I have tried my best and risked endless dangers to control a golden man?" Dan’s sea of consciousness is all because of you?”
"I?"
Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "This has nothing to do with me!"
"snort!"
Lu Xinyao sneered and said: "At Devil's Breath Lake, I should have sacrificed your flesh and blood to form a blood elixir in one fell swoop, but you still ruined my plan after all. Not only did you kill Yuan Ya, but you also destroyed the Tribulation Immortal. Occasionally, it also caused my foundation to be unstable, so I had to be born early. In desperation, I was willing to take risks and sneak into Wuchi Country to look for their Seven Treasure Thunder Tree to replenish my foundation!"
"And now, I'm just one step away from accomplishing something big, and you want to cause trouble for me again?"
Fang Yuan was silent for a moment and said: "I don't know what your plan is, but this Seven Treasure Thunder Tree will not fall into your hands!"
Lu Xinyao sneered solemnly, her whole body filled with demonic intent: "Do you really like to meddle in other people's business?"
"I didn't want to care about it at first!"
Fang Yuan answered honestly: "But you went too far in that matter!"
Lu Xinyao naturally knew what he was talking about. Hearing this, she just smiled lightly and said: "At critical moments, of course, some extraordinary measures must be used. That woman deserves to die. She has come to provoke me over and over again without saying anything, and even more so when I am not good at all." Break the last obsession in the heart of that old emperor and make him agree to go to the imperial mausoleum to get the Seven Treasures Thunder Tree to give to me. Then he instigated his son to steal the treasure tree and almost made me lose everything. You are also a single-minded person. People who want to practice cultivation, do you think it’s too much for me to use some methods at this time?”
“It’s true to practice wholeheartedly, but does it mean you really don’t care about anything?”
After hearing this, Fang Yuan's face turned completely cold, and there was a hint of suppressed anger in his eyes.
"Practice is to seek freedom, and freedom means that everything can be done without worrying about it!"
Lu Xinyao smiled softly, looked at the Seven Treasure Thunder Tree, and said with a low smile: "Don't continue talking nonsense. In fact, the two of us have no grudges. After all, we are from the same fairy hall, and Why are there always such quarrels? Now that you have used the Seven Treasures Thunder Tree, why not just give it to me, as I owe you a favor, what do you think?"
While he was speaking, a strange and eerie demonic energy was already entangled towards the Seven Treasure Thunder Tree.
"We really have no grudges and come from the same school, but it seems we can't walk on the same road after all!"
But at this moment, Fang Yuan suddenly reached out and took the Seven Treasure Thunder Tree in his hand.
Lu Xinyao's eyes narrowed, her anger welled up, and she whispered: "Why?"
Fang Yuan was silent for a moment and said: "Perhaps to use an old saying, it's called... good and evil are not coexisting?"
