Zhu Yuyan's voice has an inexplicable appeal that moves people inadvertently, but it is natural and has no artificial charm.
This is both the natural charm of this "Yin Queen" and the display of her profound magic skills. The overlap of the two creates such a unique temperament.
For an ordinary person, hearing such gentle words from her would make even the most determined person's heart soften a bit.
But for Meng Xiuyuan at this moment, these things were just like the breeze blowing. Although they were felt, they could not shake his heart at all.
"You have a grudge against Shi Zhixuan, what does it have to do with me?
Does Queen Yin feel that I need to coexist peacefully with the Yin Gui faction and join hands with you to deal with that Shi Zhixuan?"
Meng Xiuyuan's calm voice blurted out, just like the cold wind driving away the warmth, sweeping away the atmosphere created by Zhu Yuyan's voice.
Zhu Yuyan's eyes flashed when she saw this, and she was very impressed by Meng Xiuyuan's ability. However, despite the surprise, she was not angry, but continued softly:
"Mr. Meng has great courage and ability.
Originally, like many people in the world, I had some doubts about the young master's deeds of defeating the four holy monks alone in one night.
Now it seems that maybe I am short-sighted..."
At this point, Zhu Yuyan paused suddenly, no longer staring at Meng Xiuyuan's face, but looking at the crescent moon in the night sky with a frown. When she spoke again, her voice was slightly lower:
"But just like I despised Mr. Meng before, you, Mr. Meng, are also looking down on that Shi Zhixuan too much at this moment.
Although I hate him with all my heart, I have to admit that this man's talents are so high that they are rarely seen in the world.
Even if your master's martial arts has reached the level of a great master like Ning Daoqi and Song Que, it will still be extremely troublesome to deal with an enemy like him.
Just talking about a one-on-one martial arts competition, Mr. Meng is already at the top of the world, and he is very sure that he can defeat Shi Zhixuan, who has a flaw in his heart at this moment.
But Shi Zhixuan is Shi Zhixuan. If he wants to escape, no one in the world can stop him.
With his mental strategies and assassination methods, if he is allowed to survive this time, you, sir, may never have peace again in this life..."
When Shi Zhixuan was mentioned, Zhu Yuyan's expression was complicated and intriguing, and she was obviously deeply entangled with him.
Although Meng Xiuyuan had no intention of guessing about the love and hatred between the two people, but out of the principle of knowing himself and his enemy, he did not hesitate to listen more to Zhu Yuyan about this "evil king".
After all, judging from the volume of "The Seal of Immortality" that Meng Xiuyuan has not thoroughly studied, Shi Zhixuan is indeed a genius as Zhu Yuyan said, and can be regarded as one of Meng Xiuyuan's biggest opponents against the Demon Sect this time.
"Sect Master Zhu seems to know Shi Zhixuan very well?"
Meng Xiuyuan walked a few steps, sat down peacefully on a clean stone pier on the street, and then spoke softly.
When Zhu Yuyan saw this, she knew that Meng Xiuyuan's interest had been aroused, and she couldn't help but feel moved in her heart. But when she talked about Shi Zhixuan, she still had a stern look on her face:
"Hmph, all I think about day and night is to put him to death, how can I not understand him?
If Mr. Meng wants to know about Shi Zhixuan, he should ask the right person.
To show my sincerity in cooperation, I can make an exception and say a few more words to you..."
Zhu Yuyan walked to Meng Xiuyuan gracefully and continued to say to him:
"In fact, from the perspective of a righteous man like Mr. Meng, Shi Zhixuan should be your most important enemy.
Compared with him, the so-called "harming the country and the people" done by our Yingui faction is nothing more than a small fuss.
Shi Zhixuan is a man with high martial arts skills and even higher intelligence. The most influential thing he did was to sneak into the Sui court under the pseudonym 'Pei Ju' and single-handedly overthrow the Sui Dynasty, directly accelerating the arrival of this troubled world..."
With that said, Zhu Yuyan briefly introduced Shi Zhixuan's "great achievements" to Meng Xiuyuan.
It turns out that when Shi Zhixuan transformed into Pei Ju, he was quite trusted by the foolish emperor Yang Guang, and many of Yang Guang's extraordinary actions were induced by him.
Some of them are hard to distinguish between right and wrong, and may be beneficial in the long run, but most of them do not consider the national conditions and the sentiments of the people at all, which directly led to the demise of the Sui Dynasty in just a few years in its originally prosperous age.
In particular, the three forced conquests of Goguryeo that directly led to chaos in the world were all facilitated by Shi Zhixuan.
"From the perspective of our Holy Sect as a whole, Shi Zhixuan's actions are actually heroic, and I shouldn't have any bad comments about him.
After all, if it weren't for his efforts to guide that faint king to cause chaos in the world, our Holy Sect would never have a chance to turn around.
But the hatred between me and him has long surpassed all of this, and he wants to unify the two sects of the Holy Sect, and he also regards my Yingui sect as a thorn in his side.
In this way, I have nothing to worry about when dealing with him..."
When Zhu Yuyan talked about Shi Zhixuan, the murderous intent in her words almost overflowed. Meng Xiuyuan did not need to mobilize his spiritual sense to sense carefully, but he also felt the sincerity in her words:
"Mr. Meng, many people in the Holy Sect now know that you are the descendant of the Holy Emperor Xiang Yutian, and they also know that you came to Chang'an this time for the Holy Emperor's relic.
Zhao Deyan, Xi Ying, An Long, and Pi Chen are almost all in place at this moment. They all have their own plans and are trying every means to seize the relic from you.
And even among this group of masters, Shi Zhixuan is still the one who is most eager and capable of competing for the holy relics.
Being targeted by someone like him is not an easy thing.
With his cleverness, calculation, and ruthlessness, as long as he doesn't get the holy relic from the young master for a day, he will use all possible means to deal with you. Even if the young master has great martial arts, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to deal with it...
To be honest, I originally intended to fight for the relics for the Yingui Sect, but this opportunity to kill Shi Zhixuan is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If not for the temptation of the holy relics, he would never show up easily.
Mr. Meng may wish to consider helping me. Let's get rid of this common enemy first, and we can leave the rest for later."
Zhu Yuyan's long speech reached this point, and she felt that it was heated enough, so she finally fell silent. Her beautiful eyes were dimly shining in the dark night, and she stared at Meng Xiuyuan, as if she could already see a nod of affirmation.
But what disappointed her was that after hearing this, Meng Xiuyuan just frowned and stood up, and said casually:
"Thank you, Sect Master Zhu, for sharing these secrets. It has indeed given me some more useful information.
In return, I can let you go today.
But please be careful, I won’t treat you like this again when we meet next time.”
As he spoke, Meng Xiuyuan turned around and walked out gracefully.
It was not yet time to close the net, so Meng Xiuyuan had no intention of killing Zhu Yuyan in order to avoid disturbing the situation. Taking advantage of the situation was a good choice.
But Zhu Yuyan seemed unwilling to give up, and spoke loudly behind Meng Xiuyuan:
"Master Meng, please stay here, there are some things you don't understand yet.
In the whole world, I, Zhu Yuyan, am the only one who can kill Shi Zhixuan.
If the young master misses this cooperation with me, he may never be able to get rid of his entanglement in the rest of his life..."
Meng Xiuyuan paused slightly when he heard this, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Zhu Yuyan. Seeing that she had a sincere and affirmative look on her face, it didn't look like she was lying at all, so she couldn't help but shook her head and said:
"It seems that Queen Yin is really worried about that Shi Zhixuan, so much so that she has lost her judgment..."
Zhu Yuyan smiled with a complicated expression and said softly:
"I also hope that this is my ignorance and bias, but unfortunately, it is the fact.
When it comes to martial arts, there is still some disagreement about who is the best in the world, but when it comes to the ability to save one's life and escape, Shi Zhixuan deserves to be the best in the world.
He created a "Phantom Demon Body Technique", which is unpredictable and as fast as lightning, which can be described as an extremely light skill. And his "Immortal Seal Technique" can turn the enemy's true energy into his own vitality and physical strength, transforming between life and death.
At that time, the four holy monks tried their best, but they still couldn't keep him. Even if Mr. Meng could fight one against four, when it comes to chasing and killing, I'm afraid it's not as good as the four holy monks surrounding him..."
Speaking of this, Zhu Yuyan's voice suddenly became a little lower, with a hint of determination:
"The reason why I say that only I can kill him is because I have already made up my mind to die for this.
I have a trick called "Burn with Jade", which can kill Shi Zhixuan together. I have thought about it for many years and concluded that this is the only way to break his immortal seal, so I made up my mind.
All Mr. Meng needs to do is to help me hold him back in a short period of time and prevent him from escaping.
Being able to get rid of the two most important enemies so easily, isn't it the most ideal ending for the young master?"
After hearing what Zhu Yuyan said, Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but suddenly realized what the other party had planned.
The memory was vaguely evoked, and Meng Xiuyuan suddenly thought that there seemed to be such a thing in the plot.
Zhu Yuyan saw Meng Xiuyuan speechless for a moment, thinking that he was moved by her words, and immediately continued to say in a deep voice:
"Young master, I don't know. There is another reason why I am so eager to take action regardless of my own life or death.
That is the relic of the Holy Emperor is about to be born, which is a huge variable.
For most people, the greatest value of the Holy Emperor's relics is the essence of the Holy Emperors of the past dynasties. As long as you find the right way to absorb it, you can use it to enrich your own foundation.
But for Shi Zhixuan, the most important thing about the Holy Emperor's relic is its own evil power.
As long as he can absorb this evil power in the relics, he can use it to make up for the flaws in his own soul and cultivate the "Seal of Immortality" to a great state.
When he really reaches that stage, not only his own martial arts has reached the highest level in the world, but his life-saving ability will suddenly improve a lot.
At that time, I am afraid that the three great masters will not be able to keep him alive even if they join forces. Even if I want to die with him, I can no longer do it.
Killing Shi Zhixuan is something I must do in this life. If I fail, I will die in peace.
Just in case, I really can’t take the risk and wait any longer, so I can only take action in advance..."
Zhu Yuyan's words were quite sincere and sincere. Maybe they were very true, maybe they were nine percent truth mixed with one percent falsehood. With Zhu Yuyan's reputation, it was difficult for Meng Xiuyuan to determine which situation it was even with the help of his spiritual sense in his heart.
However, Meng Xiuyuan was not bothered by this. He just glanced at Zhu Yuyan, shook his head and turned away again, leaving only a faint sentence:
"Thank you, Sect Leader Zhu, for reminding me that Shi Zhixuan sounds like he is indeed quite capable.
It's just that although I am not talented, I am not capable of cooperating with the Demon Sect to defeat the enemy.
Whether it's Shi Zhixuan or your Yin Gui sect, if you want the Evil Emperor's relics, just come and take them. I'll wait patiently.
Whether Shi Zhixuan is really otherworldly and has reached a state where no mortal can kill him, we can see when the time comes."
