Determination flashed in Xie Changyuan's eyes, and he revealed the secret in his heart.
"I...I am actually the son of Zhenren Hunyuan. As long as you take me away from this small world and send me to the city lord's palace, my father will definitely accept your love."
Xu Chunniang blinked and seemed a little unresponsive.
Xie Changyuan thought she didn't believe it, and there was a bit of anxiety in his eyes.
"What I said is true. In order to protect me, my father did not announce this relationship to the outside world. As long as you help me, your benefits will definitely be indispensable. I am willing to swear by my Taoist heart!"
It sounds good to get a favor from a real Yuanying.
It's a pity that since Xu Chunniang caught Xie Changyuan, how could she let him go so easily.
"It turns out that Mr. Xie is actually the son of Master Hunyuan. Then your two senior brothers and sisters, shouldn't they be your brothers and sisters?"
A trace of uneasiness flashed across Xie Changyuan's face, "Of course not, I don't have any other brothers or sisters."
"Then how much do you know about the City Lord's Mansion?"
Xie Changyuan softened his expression, "Although I don't interfere in the affairs of the mansion, I still understand everything big and small..."
Before he finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his head, his face suddenly turned pale, and he could no longer maintain the kindness on his face.
Instead, there were red eyes, cold hatred, and a trembling, sweaty body.
He stared intently at the female cultivator in front of him, but the severe pain from his damaged consciousness prevented him from uttering a single word.
Xu Chunniang smiled slowly. From the moment she entered the small world, she never relaxed her vigilance towards Xie Changyuan, and she expected the same for him.
From the moment she appeared, he began to think about how to deal with her.
He seemed to be asking for help, but in fact he was just trying to relax her vigilance so that he could take advantage of the opportunity to take action.
His Dantian was destroyed and he was seriously injured, but his consciousness was intact. He might be able to succeed in a sneak attack.
However, Xu Chunniang was well prepared, and her spiritual consciousness was much more powerful than Xie Changyuan's. His carefully planned attack not only failed to work, but actually damaged her spiritual consciousness.
Xie Changyuan waited for a long time before he recovered from the pain of the backlash from his consciousness and regained his voice.
"You are the formation master from before."
He had already guessed about this, and just now he took action, confirming his guess.
Was she arresting herself to avenge Zhuge Yun...or was it for other reasons?
Xu Chunniang did not deny it, and asked calmly, "Why do you want to destroy my senior brother?"
Xie Changyuan's heart skipped a beat, but he sneered without changing his expression.
"Since you agreed to the duel, you are taking responsibility for your life and death. Why is it that your Xiaoyao Sect, as one of the five major sects, cannot afford to lose?"
The female nun was not as irritated as he expected, and her expression remained calm.
After discovering that someone in the city lord's palace was secretly attacking her, using destructive means such as demon souls, Xu Chunniang thought a lot.
When she met Shangguan Xue just now, the demon soul that had been suppressed in her body stirred.
It senses the same kind.
Xu Chunniang didn't know what Shangguan Xue's situation was now, but she knew that the person who did it must have something to do with the City Lord's Mansion.
Being stared at by such calm eyes, Xie Changyuan felt inexplicably flustered, as if his whole being had been seen through.
He calmed down and said coldly.
"I advise you not to be an enemy of our City Lord's Mansion. Xiaoyao Sect is in decline and will be exhausted. Sooner or later, our City Lord's Mansion will replace it and become the new five major sects!
Even if you kill me, you won't be able to change anything. If you are sensible, just abandon the darkness and turn to the light now..."
"A mere Hunyuan City actually said such big words. Master Hunyuan is only in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, yet he dares to attack the Xiaoyao Sect?"
Xu Chunniang interrupted him unceremoniously, with a bit of chill in her eyes that fell on him like an awl.
"Let me guess, you are so confident, but you found a helper? Let me guess, it's those evil cultivators in Wuwu Mountain?"
Xie Changyuan's body trembled slightly and he remained silent.
"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me, I will always find a way to pry your mouth open. If it doesn't work, just search for your soul."
Xu Chunniang has never learned the soul-searching technique, so this statement is just a trick to deceive him.
Xie Changyuan's complexion changed slightly and he couldn't help but clenched his fingers.
Once someone uses the soul-searching technique on him, he will become a fool even if he is not dead.
"Soul-searching is an evil method. How can you, a righteous monk, use this evil method at any cost?"
"So what about evil spells? As long as they work. You all attacked me with your demonic souls. Do you still expect me to treat you politely?"
Xu Chunniang looked calm, without any burden on her heart. She just silently observed Xie Changyuan's reaction while speaking.
"Demon soul?"
Xie Changyuan was stunned, "What do you mean?"
The look on his face didn't seem to be fake, it seemed like he really didn't know about the demon soul. Or maybe he was pretending too well.
Xu Chunniang calmly changed the subject, "What are your intentions in pestering Shangguan Xue?"
Xie Changyuan turned his eyes slightly, and was about to say that he truly loved Shangguan Xue, when he heard a cold voice.
"Don't say anything sincere, even ghosts won't believe it. If you dare to lie, I will crush your bones inch by inch. Anyway, if the bones are broken, it won't affect my soul-searching technique, right?"
After receiving no response for a long time, Xu Chunniang showed no trace of impatience on her face and just casually crushed his hand bones.
"Click."
The sound of broken hand bones was heard clearly, and Xie Changyuan, who was already extremely weak, fainted from the pain.
She was quite speechless, so she had to take a few healing pills and forcefully gave them to him.
Several pills quickly took effect, and Xie Changyuan's injuries improved.
His broken hand bone quickly improved under the influence of Xugu Dan.
When he woke up again, he was mostly healed and only had some vague pain.
Being treated like this, Xie Changyuan was furious, "What on earth do you want to do?"
"I don't want this either, so you'd better cooperate. Let me ask you again, what is your plan for attacking Shangguan Xue?"
Feeling that dull gaze, Xie Changyuan shrank for a moment, fear rising in his heart.
He had no doubt that if he did not cooperate, the hand bone that had just healed would be crushed again.
Xie Changyuan lowered his head, "This is Master's arrangement, I just follow it."
"Click."
This time Xie Changyuan did not faint. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead due to the severe pain, and his right hand was bent in an abnormal posture.
"The answer is not what was asked."
Xu Chunniang raised her foot and was about to step on his left hand. Xie Changyuan suddenly shrank and said, "I don't know!"
"I don't know what he wants me to do, but behind Shangguan Xue is the real Yuanying, who has a very high status in the sect. I guess he may want to use her to deal with the Yuanying monks of Xiaoyao Sect."
Xu Chunniang pulled back her feet, seeming to be considering the authenticity of Xie Changyuan's words.
He didn't know about the demon soul, maybe he really didn't know. And his guess was somewhat reasonable.
