After Favorability Is Maxed

234 For the Basement That Was to Come

“???”

Liu Yuan, who was originally full of confidence, opened his eyes wide and looked at Ling Hua in a daze.

The attribute panel in front of him was still open, and he had never encountered such an abnormal status bar before. He was at a loss.

Xiahou Cenyi furrowed her brows. For the first time, she had a headache. This Junior’s attack was unexpected. This move was really tricky.

Although Liu Yuan did not know how she knew about the changes in his spiritual power and demonic Qi, Liu Yuan’s current situation was indeed similar to the possession of a demon… It was difficult to clarify.

He would take drastic measures and bring Liu Yuan back in the name of the Righteous Path’s side. However, with Ling Hua’s status, she would definitely be the person in charge. At that time, she would have the final say on how to deal with this ‘demon’.

The most important thing was that she was too ruthless in her approach.

Facing the demons, even Xiahou Cenyi could not help.

This was a matter of principle for the entire human race.

However, things had happened so suddenly that even after Ling Jie subconsciously answered, she was still at a loss. She looked at the compass in its hand and said hesitantly, “Senior Sister, umm…”

She was a little dumbfounded. Just now, she was still worried that his eldest Senior Sister, who was acting out of character, might also have something to do with this Jiang Feng. But in the blink of an eye, Ling Hua, who had been very calm all this time, pulled out the Demon Subduing Sword.

Why did she have a strange feeling… Her Senior Sister suddenly mentioned to check if there were any demons in this Secret Realm, was it on purpose?

However, Ling Jie was just a lowly Junior Sister. She did not dare to ask or say anything.

“I’d rather kill the wrong person than let him go.”

Ling Hua held a long sword in her hand and slowly raised it. The spiritual energy in her body surged, causing her Daoist robe to flutter. She said gently, “Although the demon tribe has been suppressed under the Yonghui Sea for thousands of years, there are still fish that have escaped the net and entered Shangyang from time to time. The Sea Slashing Tower is outside, and the Jade Mirage Sect is inside. We are all sharp blades to deal with the demon race. Don’t lose your edge because of the current peace and comfort.”

Hearing her words, Ling Jie was slightly stunned. She quickly said with a serious expression, “Yes! Thank you for your guidance, Senior Sister!”

Then, she also drew her sword and shouted, “All disciples, listen up, subdue the demon!”

Swish!

The disciples of the Jade Mirage Sect immediately got into formation, and their murderous aura soared to the sky.

The other sects were also stunned at first, not knowing what had happened. However, when the word ‘demon’ came out of the mouth of the spiritual tribulation, their expressions immediately changed. Their eyes suddenly became sharp, and they all took out their weapons.

Then, after a few words, they finally realized that this ‘demon’ was actually Jiang Feng, who had just made a name for himself!

It seemed that the first one to make a move was the Eldest Senior Sister Ling Hua, who was still smiling just now.

“Daoist Ling Hua, what’s going on?”

As the atmosphere became tense, someone could not help but ask.

After all, since everyone’s attention had shifted from Liu Yuan to their own affairs, the matter had been settled for the time being. Ling Hua had been very calm.

Liu Yuan even thought of waiting for a while before finding her and returning to the Jade Mirage sect with her to complete Ding Luan’s will. He wanted to return the Jade Mirage Sect’s treasure in his mind to its original owner and put it into the Dao impartation tablet.

He had yet to cultivate much of the Jade Mirage Daoist Scripture.

Firstly, there wasn’t enough time. Secondly, the cultivation efficiency of the Ultimate Taiyi Dao mantra derived from a newbie’s cultivation method was higher than that of the Jade Mirage Daoist Scripture. Furthermore, it was obvious that this cultivation method seemed to contain a major secret and had greater potential.

Therefore, other than learning the part that was to be taught to Gu Chang, Liu Yuan had not touched the technique much.

If Ding Luan knew that his lifetime’s work had been treated in such a way, to the point that it was about to accumulate dust… Would he praise Liu Yuan’s calm and composed character or feel helpless?

However, it was now a question of whether Liu Yuan would have the chance to send the cultivation technique back safely.

“Old Man Ding, it’s not that I’m not working hard. If I’m locked up in the basement, I’ll definitely try my best to hand over the cultivation technique and earn a way out for myself. I’m just afraid that I’ll have to live a life where I’m not in my right mind and can’t afford to be provoked. Even speaking will be difficult.”

Feeling the tense atmosphere around him, Liu Yuan’s eyes twitched. He had a bad feeling.

He looked at Ling Hua opposite him, and the Jade Mirage Senior Sister also looked at him. Then Ling Hua said, “I haven’t mentioned that Liu Yuan and I are old acquaintances.”

“?” Everyone was stunned. Umm… They did not look like they knew each other. However, Ling Hua did act a little strange just now. It was just that this Liu Yuan acted as if he did not know her at all.

Now, the situation suddenly seemed to be a little off, and a demon possession had appeared…

No! Wait a minute! Could it be that…

Everyone seemed to have understood something. Their bodies trembled as they looked at Ling Hua.

Ling Hua and Liu Yuan looked at each other as Ling Hua said slowly, “I’m familiar with his character. I’ve always felt that he’s a devoted person, so I noticed something was wrong from the beginning. That’s why I pretended not to know him and tested him. As a result, you really took the bait. When a demon first possesses a body, they had not completely retrieved the memories of the possessed person, so there was a lag in judgment.”

Everyone was in an uproar. So that was the reason!

Because he was an acquaintance, he immediately used the simplest method to determine whether or not he had been possessed. This was really too much of a test of one’s reaction ability. Was this number one on the Heaven List?

It was simply amazing!

All the unreasonable things became reasonable. The questions just now had become tests for the other party. Everyone on the scene could not help but admire Ling Hua. Their faces revealed an ‘I see’ expression.

Liu Yuan’s expression suddenly changed, and he cursed in his heart.

F*ck! So this was a trick?

Liu Yuan had subconsciously thought that Ling Hua was unwilling to ‘acknowledge’ Liu Yuan at this moment. After all, she knew that there were so many women around Liu Yuan, so she needed some time to calm down. Liu Yuan had gone along with her, but in the end, he had already planned from the beginning to take him away directly?

Can this world get any crueler?

Now, Liu Yuan could not say ‘I thought you couldn’t accept that I had multiple wives and concubines and was jealous, so I coaxed you and waited for you to calm down.’

Not to mention the fact that the situation was now on Ling Hua’s side, once he said this, a bunch of Ling Hua’s fans would probably be ready to kill him first.

At that time, it would not matter if you were a demon or not. If everyone believed that he as a demon, then he was a demon, no matter what.

This was truly… Checkmate.

Liu Yuan opened his mouth and looked at the people around him, who were acting as if they were facing a great enemy. His face was a little dejected and he did not know whether to laugh or cry. Looking at Ling Hua’s calm expression, he said, “Sigh, forget it, I don’t know what’s going on either, but the demon possession is definitely nonsense. I’ll just go with you.”

Jiang Po interjected from the side, “Tsk, he really doesn’t look like he’s been possessed…”

Ling Hua did not say anything.

Ling Jie then said seriously, “Of course. According to ancient records, the first sign of a demon possessing a body is to devour one’s mind. At this stage, there’s still a chance to save you. As long as you return to the Jade Mirage Sect with us, we’ll definitely do our best to help you get rid of the demon. If you delay any longer, it’ll really be too late.”

Hong Luan and a few other little lolis ran over with worried faces and vigilantly looked at the many cultivators opposite them. Liu Yuan patted them, indicating for them to calm down. “The fellow Daoists of Jade Mirage have good intentions. I should naturally go there.”

Xiahou Cenyi shook her head. “If that’s the case, I’ll go to the Jade Mirage Sect as well. It’s one thing to prevent my Junior Brother from being bullied… But it’s another thing if someone takes the opportunity to plot against us.”

The disciples of the Jade Mirage Sect were stunned. They had not expected this and immediately felt the pressure.

“Senior’s worry is understandable,” Ling Hua said.

As soon as she opened her mouth, the disciples felt their bodies lighten. They realized that it was a substantial spiritual energy pressure and not psychological pressure. In an instant, they experienced the overbearing power of this Grand Elder.

The Jade Mirage Senior Sister walked to Liu Yuan and took out a cultivation-sealing talisman and a golden rope. She cast a spell and said, “This is a necessary measure. I’ll untie you when we return to the Jade Palace.”

The cold woman said in a low voice. Even the way she tied the rope was elegant and otherworldly. When she approached Liu Yuan, her black hair fell down, and her fair and delicate face was very beautiful.

She tied the knot seriously, raised her head, and smiled sweetly at a place where no one else could see. She murmured, “Junxuan.”

At that moment, Liu Yuan knew that he had made the wrong bet. He felt like he could already see the basement waving at him.

He could not help but feel sad.
