"understood."
Nodding calmly, Lu Yuan answered slowly.
Then, the conversation changed and he asked:
"Then have you thought about what to do in Fenxiang Valley?"
"Are you coming?"
"Or is it too stable?"
The gentle smile on Yan Hong's face did not change at all.
With a bit of complaint, he complained unhurriedly:
"Of course I'll do it."
"On the one hand, with this identity, I won't be as passive as I am now. Compared with your confidante, I finally have some confidence."
"On the other hand, with my relationship with you and the Burning Incense Valley in my hands, the losses in the face of future changes will naturally be smaller."
"I should do it both emotionally and rationally."
"But the problem is, my cultivation level is not high enough."
"With my current level of cultivation, it's hard to convince the public."
Yan Hong pointed out this problem calmly.
When Li Xun and other disciples from Fenxiang Valley heard Yan Hong's explanation, they gradually understood what the two men were talking about. They looked at each other hesitantly, feeling a little chilled in their hearts and did not dare to interrupt.
What a joke!
These two people are planning the position of Valley Master!
One is the senior sister of Fenxiang Valley.
The other one is the young owner of Incense Valley.
Even if it is treason, it is not their turn to speak out.
Besides, whether they can tell the truth is a question!
According to the methods Lu Yuan has shown so far, including Lu Yuan's current identities, even if they are exposed, it will definitely be no problem to kill them all!
What's more, this is a stand-in!
If you choose well, you will definitely become a senior figure in Fenxiang Valley in the future. If you choose poorly, you will end up dead at most.
Everyone wants to climb up.
To satisfy one's own greed, one pays any price.
Therefore, after a brief thought, Li Xun quickly changed his position. Although it was a bit humiliating for him to follow Yan Hong, the person standing behind Yan Hong was Lu Yuan.
In this way, there is no difference between siding with Yan Hong and siding with Lu Yuan.
Moreover, if Lu Yuan is still here, the future owner of Fenxiang Valley must be Lu Yuan, and from Lu Yuan down, it must be Yan Hong.
And if this choice is successful...
The future owner of Fenxiang Valley is Yan Hong.
And he is the only one!
This is an analysis extended from the perspective of interests.
If we analyze it from the perspective of sensibility and belief, the result is the same. Yan Hong is in charge of Fenxiang Valley, which is better than the destruction of Fenxiang Valley. In addition, with the support provided by Lu Yuan, they don’t want much from Fenxiang Valley and annex Tianyin Temple. It should be no problem to drop it.
In this way, it can be regarded as the achievement of "expanding territory".
Therefore, regardless of emotion or reason, Li Xun felt that he had no reason to refuse. However, since the conversation between Lu Yuan and Yan Hong was not over yet, Li Xun felt that it would be better for him to continue to wait and see.
If the plan works, then he will immediately join forces.
If the plan doesn't work, he remains neutral.
All in all, we must not stand on the opposite side of Lu Yuan.
Because only those who have stood on the opposite side of Lu Yuan once can experience the suffocating feeling of powerlessness and pervasive pressure.
There are many people who have the same idea as Li Xun.
But without exception, no one dared to express their opinions on the spot.
On Yan Hong and Lu Yuan's side, the conversation continued.
Facing the question raised by Yan Hong, Lu Yuan acted very calmly.
In other words, he had expected this.
However, he did not expect Yan Hong to be so courageous, nor did he see that the usually gentle Yan Hong could be so decisive.
But all the unexpectedness did not affect the plan.
Eyes slightly lowered, Lu Yuan explained calmly:
"You're right."
"To be precise, you have a good sense of yourself."
"The first level and the second level are a watershed, and the second level and the third level are another watershed. If the cultivators of the previous level can be killed by sheer numbers, then the so-called cultivation has little value."
"The higher the realm, the stronger the combat effectiveness."
"It has nothing to do with what spells you master."
"The so-called strongest people are only those who can defeat all the invincible opponents in the same level. Those who can fight across levels are unborn geniuses. Otherwise, they are the sons of destiny selected by the world consciousness."
"Yun Yilan is a third-level immortal cultivator. Even if he doesn't have a mysterious fire mirror or a special flame in his hand, it's still easy to beat you, a first-level and ninth-level shrimp, and he may not even need to do anything. "
"However, since you have chosen to solve it instead of waiting, I will also give you a helping hand and help you solve the early difficulties one by one."
Yan Hong did not doubt Lu Yuan's answer.
But the reality was before her.
So she had to ask:
"Then how can you help me?"
"Didn't you say you were in the Death Swamp before?"
"It's so far away, and I have to go into seclusion. After I come out of seclusion, I have to go to Qingyun Gate to read the last volume of the Heavenly Book. At that time, you won't be able to help me at all."
"Because your status does not allow you to help me."
"Fenxiang Valley will never allow you to help me."
Hearing this, Lu Yuan smiled and shook his head.
The problem raised by Yan Hong does exist.
But who said he had to use his true form?
Isn't it just to be able to operate on multiple lines?
Therefore, Lu Yuan quickly stopped his smile and explained calmly:
"First of all, you have to understand the difference between these clones of mine. Secondly, you have to understand the difference between Fenxiang Valley and Qingyun Sect and all the sects in the world."
"The methods are different, why should I fuse them?"
"Of course, that doesn't mean there will never be integration."
"It's just that the order of some fusions can be postponed later. The Book of Heaven is the Book of Heaven, and the inheritance of the Witch Clan in Fenxiang Valley is another system."
"So, it's very easy to operate."
"Let Dongfang Yuan's clone accompany you. After all, Fenxiang Valley can be regarded as my origin in this world. If we can solve it peacefully, we can solve it peacefully."
"I'll go talk to Yun Yilan."
"If it doesn't work, we have no choice but to take action."
"It is worth mentioning that the Xuanhuojian of Fenxiang Valley is also in my hand. Even the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Formation is ineffective against me at the moment."
"However, based on the actual situation, since there is no direct conflict between me and Fenxiang Valley, there is a high probability that Yun Yilan will agree to my request."
"Besides, even if I are allowed to take over in the future, after Yun Yilan retires, he will definitely remain as the foundation of Fenxiang Valley for a long time."
"Just like the old monks from Tianyin Temple I met before."
"So, both outcomes are pretty much the same."
"It's not like I don't take care of Incense Valley anymore."
"I will still take action when necessary."
"Moreover, even if I ascend to power in the future, as the owner of Fenxiang Valley, I cannot be a hands-off shopkeeper, leaving you alone to deal with things in Fenxiang Valley, and then I will go out to travel around the world by myself."
"Even if I go out for fun, I can at most just take a look around the territory of southern Xinjiang. The role I can play is to become a force-deterrent presence. I don't need to deal with big or small matters personally."
"So, based on this logic, it doesn't matter if I am in Fenxiang Valley or not. Who is sitting in that position, as long as he can lead Fenxiang Valley in the changing situation, it actually doesn't matter either."
Everyone was shocked when they heard Lu Yuan's analysis.
On the one hand, I didn't expect that the system of Fenxiang Valley would have such a big loophole. There was no oneness at all. As long as you had the ability, even if you had a dog sit on it, Fenxiang Valley would still be able to operate.
On the other hand, I didn't expect Lu Yuan to say this matter so frankly to his face. No matter what, Yan Hong was not the only one here. Even if Li Xun and other Fenxiang Valley disciples were excluded, Qingyun Sect The people from the Ghost King Sect are still here.
Is it really polite to say this?
However, Yan Hong was very satisfied with this answer. He boldly raised his hand and touched Lu Yuan's face, and then asked seemingly casually:
"still have a question."
"Even if it's just my own doubts..."
"When you first got along with me, including when your other clones were having sex, were you there in person, or were you able to gain memories after fusion, or are your memories inherently interconnected?"
Lu Yuan instantly understood what Yan Hong was worried about.
After laughing twice uncontrollably, he waved his hand to Yan Hong, who was a little angry, to signal to calm down, and then explained with a smile that was hard to hide:
"I only have one me."
"From now to the future, there is and can only be one me."
"Perhaps there are some things that are beyond my control, such as the sudden arrival of a terrifying existence, the kind that tears the soul into several parts specifically to capture it. Under normal circumstances, my own wish is that I am the only one."
"Although I can cut off souls, no one knows how far it will develop in the future. Whether these completely separated souls will come back to bite me, or even replace me in another way."
"So, what I have been using is a distraction technique. It is not high-end, but it is indeed a very practical little trick."
"I don't know if you saw Ning Rongrong during the God-killing Battle. If you did, you would understand that her martial spirit Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda relies on the distraction technique to exert its maximum power."
"I also learned the art of distraction there."
"So, it's always me you see."
"That's nothing to worry about."
Hearing Lu Yuan's explanation, Yan Hong immediately felt relieved. Her smile was mixed with a bit of helplessness and complaint, and she complained casually: "You are really good at lying, using a little magic to fool everyone. "
Baguio was not happy at the side.
Anyway, the conversation is now open.
Turning his head to avoid You Ji's faint gaze, Baguio snorted heavily and retorted with a rare arrogance:
"That means you were deceived!"
"Ten years ago, I discovered the true identity of this liar and even exposed his disguise in person. Finally, I helped him hide the secret at his begging."
"So, don't compare me to you!"
Hearing these words, Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows.
He turned his head and winked at Baguio playfully.
"Pleading?"
"unimportant!"
Baguio silently replied to Lu Yuan.
Then, he looked at Yan Hong and others calmly.
"OK OK!"
"Who else has questions?"
"If there's no problem, just leave now!"
"Next, it's my private time with him!"
Baguio impatiently drove Lu Xueqi and others away.
Lu Xueqi almost drew her sword out of anger at Baguio's arrogant attitude, but after thinking rationally, she decided to give up this impolite idea.
After all, they were still on Lu Yuan's territory.
Even if he takes action, he may not be able to defeat Baguio.
Thinking of this, Lu Xueqi felt what it meant to be depressed for the first time. She secretly spurned Baguio in her heart, and then turned to look at the brothers behind her.
"Does anyone else have questions?"
"If there is any, please go up and talk about it!"
"After all, the daughter of the Ghost King can't wait any longer!"
Lu Yuan quickly comforted the furious Baguio.
Baguio's little temper will explode at the drop of a hat.
Lu Xueqi also has a soft-spoken character.
As Lu Xueqi said this, Yan Hong suddenly remembered this matter, glanced at Li Xun, and then ordered the group of Fenxiang Valley disciples behind him:
“If you have any questions, just ask!”
"One question per person."
"Keep it simple, keep it simple."
"If you don't have any questions, just ask them. If you find the answer, there's no need to keep asking."
All the disciples of Fenxiang Valley nodded repeatedly.
There was also a lot of discussion here at Qingyun Sect.
In the end, to everyone's surprise, Zhang Xiaofan, who had been silent all the way, was the first to walk out of the team, walked up to Lu Yuan, and asked with a tangled look on his face:
"Senior Brother Lu, since those clones are yours, is the massacre of Caomiao Village also fake, just to complete this plan?"
"Well……"
"What I just said is not quite accurate..."
"I mean, the fact that the old events in Caomiao Village were made public this time was also made public for this plan?"
"Is this fact true?"
Hearing Zhang Xiaofan's question, Lin Jingyu, who originally wanted to stand up, froze in place for a moment, and couldn't help but focus on Lu Yuan, as if expecting Lu Yuan to give him an answer.
"You know whether it's true or not."
"You just don't want to believe the truth."
"Besides, I'm not just observing fate."
"Observing destiny is not as simple as you think. You can see it as soon as you open your eyes, or you can do it through some magic."
"Actually, fate is divided."
"To put it simply, any destiny I observe does not have an absolute result. Just like now, your destiny is still very complicated."
"Lu Xueqi has the idea of doing something to me."
"In addition, there is also the idea of sacrifice for love."
"But for now, I still abide by the mainstream thinking, which is to give up attacking me here, and giving up committing suicide. I choose to continue investigating, hoping to find some reason to persuade me to return to the right path."
"Therefore, no matter which path Lu Xueqi chooses, the probability exists, but the probability is uncertain."
"For example, the probability of dying for love is the smallest."
"It's as small as about less than 15 percent."
"Secondly, it's the probability of taking action."
"About twenty to twenty-five."
“The rest is patience.”
"However, if Lu Xueqi suddenly chooses the other two paths, this is also possible. After all, people are not rigid machines. Even machines will have malfunctions and errors from time to time. How can people be excluded?"
"As for going back in time..."
"I don't have this ability right now."
"It's okay if it's just used on myself, but if I want to use it to look back in time to find evidence, it's already beyond my capabilities."
"so……"
"You should understand what I mean!"
Lu Yuan stated calmly.
Zhang Xiaofan's fingers trembled unnaturally.
Lin Jingyu couldn't help it anymore.
He rushed forward in one stride.
"Were you there?"
Lu Yuan nodded, then shook his head.
Such a statement confused Lin Jingyu.
But before Lin Jingyu could speak again, Lu Yuan calmly gave the answer.
"I was actually there."
Lu Yuan stated calmly.
Immediately, he added unhurriedly:
"But I wasn't the first one there."
"When I arrived, Puzhi was already possessed."
"The atmosphere of the Divine Sword Controlling Thunder Art still remains at the scene."
"It can be expected that before I arrived, someone and Pu Zhi took action, and this person's cultivation level is definitely not low. He started at the second level and above the fifth level, and his background is Qingyun Sect."
"After all, the four true secrets are never spread to outsiders."
"Even among the disciples of the Qingyun Sect, there are many, many who have not been taught the Four True Secrets, even just one of the Four True Secrets."
"However, when I rushed to the scene, there was no accident in Caomiao Village at that time. Puzhi had just become possessed and did not take action."
"It's just that I do have the idea of taking action."
"After confirming that Puzhi went to the village and killed the dog kept by the doctor, I can conclude what Puzhi wanted to do."
"But I had no choice at the time."
"There are only two choices before me."
"One is not to reveal my identity, not even use Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao, just use my own strength at that time to win over Puzhi and ensure the safety of Caomiao Village."
"The other is to expose everything, send a warning signal directly to Qingyun Sect, and then personally come forward and use all available means to stop Puzhi."
"The second option doesn't sit well with me."
"This means that everything I have paid has no value. Not to mention how much profit I can earn, I can't even get my capital back."
"Doppelgangers are not created randomly."
"Breaking one body will break my muscles and bones."
"Besides, all my strength at that time was used to cultivate the potential of the clone and the main body. This is why my potential is so high now. My cultivation progress is rapid, and the total amount and quality of my mana are also more abundant."
"So that's when I took action."
"It's just a pity that I never fought."
"I just tried my best to reduce Puzhi's condition to an extremely bad state, and then quietly evacuated Caomiao Village."
"But no one expected that Pu Zhi, who was in extremely bad condition, would still have some energy left, and forced himself to massacre all of Caomiao Village, just so that you could enter the Qingyun Gate with the Brahma Prajna in mind and complete the fusion of his two Buddhist and Taoist techniques. wish."
"So, personally, I just did what I could. I couldn't risk my life for some strangers. In the face of life and death, making rational choices is the only thing I can do. matter."
“After all, life is priceless and valuable.”
"When you look at other people's lives, they feel worthless."
"Look at your own life, it feels priceless."
"So, I was a witness at that time."
"It's just that I didn't see the final ending."
When Lu Yuan said this, Tian Linger suddenly remembered what happened when she was a child. Seeing Lin Jingyu crying and yelling, and even complaining and holding accountable Lu Yuan, she couldn't help but stand up and yelled loudly:
"Did they save my junior brother's life?"
"Requiring my junior brother to die in retribution?"
"When my junior brother came back that year, he spent half a month recovering in the bamboo house before he got better. An injury that would allow a prodigy to recover for half a month, do you think it's just a minor injury like a broken skin? ?”
"The co-author made a mistake when he started!"
"It was Pu Zhi's fault. Junior Brother only tried his best to stop it, but he didn't turn a blind eye. Why do you blame Junior Brother?"
"If you can, go back to the past and take revenge yourself!"
What Tian Linger said does make sense.
In this regard, Lu Xueqi and others also agreed.
If there is no life-long friendship, it would be good to be able to help in the accident caused by a chance encounter. It is undoubtedly unrealistic to expect the person who helps to risk his life to help.
To put it simply, it's my business to help or not, but you can't blame me for not helping.
Besides, even if you help someone wrong and get accused, it doesn’t mean that you haven’t happened before. If you help someone out of kindness and you end up getting angry, anyone would choose not to help.
Just a nuisance.
If you help, you may be blamed.
If you don't help, nothing will happen.
The choice is actually clear at a glance.
But the pain of massacre could not subside with just one or two sentences. Even though Lin Jingyu knew that Tian Linger was right, he still couldn't help the pain in his heart and cried bitterly for this missed life-saving opportunity.
It can be said that this is the closest Caomiao Village has come to avoiding being massacred.
But it's a pity.
This time the plan slipped away.
Lin Jingyu's sobs made Zhang Xiaofan, who was already in a complicated mood, not knowing what to say. He muttered several times but couldn't utter a single word. He could only help Lin Jingyu while hesitating to speak. After a moment of silence, he asked again:
"Senior Brother Lu..."
"Can you really not come back?"
Many people have asked this question.
Lu Xueqi asked.
Tian Linger asked.
Yan Hong never asked.
However, Yan Hong is planning to become the owner of the valley.
Once you succeed, there is no need to ask again.
Just like the black-hearted old man and the golden bell lady.
What happened to the founder of the sect?
Don't fall in love by mistake.
Besides, does anyone dare to interfere in the Valley Master’s marriage?
Apparently not.
Therefore, Yan Hong did not need to ask.
Zhang Xiaofan's current inquiry was mainly because he did not give up and did not want to see Lu Yuan and all of them go further and further away. In the end, he was completely on the opposite side of them, forcing them to draw their swords and confront each other.
Until then...
Zhang Xiaofan felt that he would not be able to hold the sword himself.
At the very least, he couldn't point his sword at Lu Yuan.
Therefore, even though he knew the answer, Zhang Xiaofan still asked again.
But what he waited for was still a rejection.
"cannot."
"There are many paths of no return in this life."
"Moreover……"
"Between success and failure, there is a thin line of life and death!!!"
"Don't say it's not a matter of life and death..."
"Even if life and death are on the line, you have to gamble if you have to!!!"
"Because you have no choice..."
"Because I have no better choice..."
"Some disagreements can only be resolved in simpler ways."
"Like, fists!!!"
