Zhu Yuan looked at Su Anran who was close at hand with an ugly expression.
If he could go back in time, he would definitely have chosen to leave at the moment when the swelling and pain in his eyebrows gave him warning, and he would never stay here.
"How long have you been looking for me?" Zhu Yuan asked in a deep voice.
"What did Senior Brother Zhu say?" Su Anran showed a bright smile, "I just happened to see you when I was passing here, so I came to say hello. After all, we are old acquaintances, right?"
Su Anran deliberately emphasized the word "old acquaintance".
Zhu Yuan's face was heavy, but he also realized that there were some problems that it was not good to continue to struggle with.
"Borrow a step?"
"Okay." Su Anran smiled, then turned back to look at Niyue and Helianwei, "Just wait for me here."
"Yes." Although there was a tired look on Nayue's face, she still responded seriously.
Mimosa Helianwei also nodded slightly.
Zhu Yuan turned his head, glanced at Niyue and Helianwei, and then said: "Huangfu, please watch carefully."
Based on his level of cultivation and vision, he has naturally seen that Helianwei has already half-stepped into the Soul Condensation Realm. As long as he can condense the second soul, he can be regarded as the true Soul Condensation Realm. And people like her are still in the Soul Condensation Realm.
Apart from Huangfu Song, there is another person in Beihai Sword Sect who has not condensed the second soul but can be regarded as a person with a quasi-soul-condensing realm.
Yu An.
She was the second in the Beihai Sword Sect's natal territory this time, and lost to Huangfu Song by half a move.
But what she had previously practiced was only the ordinary sword formation chart of the Beihai Sword Sect, not the five inherited secrets.
For a moment, the senior officials of the Beihai Sword Sect were shocked. After looking through her resume and evaluation, they found out that this woman's cultivation talent was not good. She was once rated as Ding Shang by the elder of Chuan Gong, so they did not invest many resources in her. But this time
After the competition,
It was then discovered that this woman's tenacity far exceeded that of ordinary people, she was even extremely murderous, and she even had a temperament that would rather die in bloody battles. Therefore, she was accepted as a true disciple by the sect master and was given one of the five secret arts of "Four Ultimate Sword Formations".
The most lethal sword formation.
Logically speaking, she is definitely more important than Huangfu Song.
But as the saying goes, no one is perfect, and Yu An has a very fatal character flaw: he would rather die than retreat.
To put it bluntly, he is stubborn and has a stubborn temper. Even if he knows he is outmatched but if he is provoked, he will definitely bite off a piece of his opponent's flesh even if he is destined to die in this battle.
If this person is allowed to lead the entire team, I am afraid that all members of the Beihai Sword Sect will die in battle on the first day they enter the Sword Washing Pond.
Even Huangfu Song may not be able to suppress her.
Almost half of the reason Zhu Yuan is in this team is to suppress Yu An and prevent her from going crazy.
What Zhu Yuan said at this moment was because he was afraid that the two Wanjianlou disciples would accidentally conflict with Yu An, and the situation would become a little ugly.
"Yes." Huangfusong obviously knew what Zhu Yuan meant and responded hurriedly, then at least half of his attention fell on a girl sitting alone next to him.
Yu An has quite a fatal character flaw. He will sign life and death certificates with people if he doesn't speak a word, so naturally he has few friends in the sect.
As if sensing Huangfu Song's gaze, Yu An raised his head and glanced at Huangfu Song.
His eyes were indifferent.
Then, as if he had just noticed someone else was there, he turned his head and looked at Nai Yue and Helianwei.
Bright eyes.
At this moment, Huangfusong's scalp suddenly felt numb!
…
"Tell me what you want from me."
Zhu Yuan and Su Anran walked dozens of steps away, where they could only vaguely see the silhouettes of other disciples of the Beihai Sword Sect, and then they stopped in tacit agreement.
"Senior Brother Zhu, we have fought side by side after all." Su Anran smiled, "Strictly speaking, I am your savior."
Zhu Yuan was silent.
Because he has an additional mission system, and this system is quite rigid, he has been affected by it all year round, resulting in a very poor reputation for himself.
But what can he do?
He didn't want to die a useless death, so he naturally became unscrupulous in the eyes of others.
It wasn't until he met Su Anran that he was able to circumvent some of the system's punishments and had more choices in his actions. Now the situation has improved slightly - although the reputation has not been completely reversed, at least it is now among the new generation of the teacher's sect.
It has a bit of a reputation.
But Zhu Yuan also knew very well that Su Anran helped him in this way not because the other party was a saint, it could only be said that everyone got what they needed.
Although he didn't understand the phrase "the gift given by fate has already been marked with a secret price", he also knew that what happened in the secret area of the Dragon Palace ruins was not considered a reward - especially, Su Anran also knew how to
Activate his system.
If there is anyone in the mysterious world that Zhu Yuan does not want to see in his entire life, it is naturally Su Anran.
Because in his opinion, the meeting with Su Anran was completely seeking the skin of a tiger.
"You and I are not three-year-olds, and there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to say such nonsense." Zhu Yuan said in a deep voice, "If you have something to say, just say it."
"Okay, feel free." Su Anran nodded, "I want three spiritual energy nodes from Tiangang Pool."
"This is impossible!" Zhu Yuan refused without even thinking, "Don't you have an idea of how complicated the secret realm of the Sword Washing Pool is this time?"
"No." Su Anran said with a smile again.
"you……"
"Senior Brother Zhu, don't worry." Su Anran shook her head, "Let me analyze it for you..."
"You can represent the Beihai Sword Sect, and I can also represent the Wanjian Tower. The two of us joining forces are equivalent to occupying the rights of two holy places, so others must carefully consider whether they want to take action.
Among the Thirty-six Sects, Tianxuan Sect and Ziyun Sword Pavilion have been proven to be nothing to worry about, so it would be best if we can win over the remaining Sword Control Sect and Youyun Villa.
You can fight for one."
"Among the seventy-two comings, I am optimistic about the Four Fenghuaxueyue Sect. If we can join forces, even the Four Fenghuaxueyue Sects will definitely not mind working with us. So strictly speaking, we actually only have one enemy at most.
Hidden Sword Pavilion, and possibly several other sword cultivating sects of the Seventy-Two Supreme Sects...but we don’t plan to take over the entire thirty-six spiritual energy nodes of Tiangang Lake, so others naturally don’t have to keep entangled with us.”
"You said it lightly, but have you ever thought about the attitudes of other sects? In addition to my Beihai Sword Sect, Wanjian Tower, which you can fully represent, and Hidden Sword Pavilion, which is opposite to Wanjian Tower, the Sword Cultivator Holy Land is still
There is a Lingjian Villa. If they join forces with the Hidden Sword Pavilion..." Zhu Yuan sneered, "Then how are you going to deal with it? And as far as I know, the main reason why the Sword Controlling Sect entered the Sword Washing Pool this time is
Coming for you."
"Tiangang Pond is not the best refining pond. There is a Liangyi Pond in front of it." Su Anran curled her lips, "Is it too much for me to ask for three spiritual energy nodes in Tiangang Pond? As long as other people's requirements are not like that.
If it's too much, then this deal is totally done."
"Fantasy." Zhu Yuan snorted coldly, "Let me tell you the truth. Our Beihai Sword Sect needs at least three spiritual energy nodes. If there are more, the more the better. With our strength, we will not compete with others.
To fight for the spiritual energy nodes of Liangyi Pool, it is not difficult for us to defend three spiritual energy nodes with our own abilities, so why should we cooperate with you?"
"Because I've got you." Su Anran smiled, "Senior Brother Zhu, as long as you are still restricted by the 'mission system', then you can't get around me."
Zhu Yuan's face suddenly became a little ugly.
Su Anran didn't feel uneasy at all because Zhu Yuan's strength was far superior to hers.
Because in fact, as he said, Zhu Yuan was eaten to death in his eyes - Zhu Yuan's mission system is very weird, and it does not give Zhu Yuan the power to choose to accept or reject at all. Once the mission is triggered,
Directly force Zhu Yuan to receive the task. If Zhu Yuan fails to complete the task afterwards, he will be punished as task failure. The greater the reward, the more severe the punishment.
It is naturally impossible for ordinary people to trigger Zhu Yuan's mission system and let the system respond.
But who is Su Anran?
He is even more aware of how to exploit the system than Zhu Yuan, the person involved.
"Cooperate." Su Anran's voice sounded softly, "You and I join forces to form a camp and attract more sword cultivators to join us. We can capture all the spiritual energy nodes in the entire Tiangang Pool..."
"shut up!"
Hearing Su Anran's slightly seductive tone, Zhu Yuan's expression changed drastically, and his aura suddenly exploded.
But Su Anran had obviously been aware of Zhu Yuan's actions. As soon as he smiled, his body slipped out like a loach, avoiding Zhu Yuan's most explosive grasp. Today's Su Anran is no longer the same as before.
Su Anran was insufficient. The gap between him and Zhu Yuan was only a small realm now, so the moment he felt Zhu Yuan's Qi burst out, he had already made a dodge action without even needing to do so.
Shi Lezhi helped.
And Su Anran's voice did not stop because of this.
"Even if you can't capture all the spiritual energy nodes, you can at least occupy half of them. At that time, I can declare to the public that this move is your call. This is the best opportunity to greatly enhance your reputation and make you famous.
An opportunity to shake the mysterious world..."
Zhu Yuan was depressed when he failed to capture him with one move.
A new cycle of destiny inheritance is about to begin, and he still wants a shitty reputation.
Next is the era of Huangfu Song and Yu An. This reputation is worthless to him!
Zhu Yuan raised his backhand, and it was no longer just a simple shot. The energy around him quickly transformed into true energy, and several tangible sword energy began to emerge around him.
"...In this way, the Beihai Sword Sect can see your value, and your status within the sect will be greatly improved. By then, you will also be able to access more advanced martial arts books and truly achieve greatness."
Su Anran saw sword energy emerging next to Zhu Yuan, obviously planning to set up a sword array, and her tone became a little anxious, "I only need three spiritual energy nodes, and the remaining ones, no matter how many spiritual energy nodes they occupy, will be combined with other spiritual energy nodes."
It’s up to you to decide how people are distributed..."
The sword energy around Zhu Yuan spread out quickly and landed accurately in different directions. There was a vague feeling of pulling each other.
Countless more subtle sword energies were slowly born within the circle formed by these sword energies, and they were actually like silver fish.
Swimming fish silver scale array!
With Zhu Yuan's current cultivation level, naturally he cannot set up a formation with just one thought, but he has studied this sword formation for so long, and naturally he has mastered some tips for quickly setting up the formation. At this time, he just wanted to shut down Su Anran.
It was just a mouthful, not asking to kill the enemy, but just not wanting Su Anran to continue to trigger his mission system.
Others don't know.
But Zhu Yuan still knew it.
For your own mission system to be activated, three conditions need to be met.
That is instructions, goals and rewards.
He didn't pay attention at first. During the conversation with Su Anran, he was easily fooled by the other party and completed the "mission description" steps.
When he realized the problem later, Su Anran had already spoken out the next steps.
At this time, what Su Anran said, "I only need three spiritual energy nodes" refers to the specific "mission goal", including other sentences such as "get all the spiritual energy nodes, at least half of them", etc.
It is the judgment condition of "task goal".
So now Zhu Yuan can only force Su Anran to stop before he can say "task reward".
"Shi Lezhi——!"
Su Anran's mind suddenly let out a soft shout.
"Hey, I thought my husband didn't need me to step in this time."
Shi Lezhi teased, but her movements were not slow at all.
Beside Su Anran, there was also a surge of sword energy.
But it was not as subtle as Zhu Yuan's, but a rather huge sword energy that surrounded Su Anran like a spring. It actually completely protected Su Anran's whole body and completely guarded against Zhu Yuan.
All subtle sword energy attacks.
Just seeing this scene, Zhu Yuan's face became even more ugly.
His sword formation is only a temporary arrangement and cannot mobilize much power at all. It can be used for protection or harassment, but if it wants to carry out a battle like a fortified battle, it is really beyond its power.
With a slight sigh, Zhu Yuan also dispersed his sword array layout.
He knows that he lost.
"...I will recommend you as the alliance leader and pay appropriate compensation." Su Anran's voice sounded again as expected, "In this way, you will not only gain fame, but also build a connection with Wanjian Tower.
Start paving the way for your junior brothers. You can even get a high-quality elixir that my senior sister personally refined."
"I want to specify the elixir."
Since he was unable to save the situation, Zhu Yuan would of course have to speak up and fight for his own rights.
This is still a skill I learned after meeting Su Anran in the secret realm of the Dragon Palace ruins.
Su Anran was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Okay... As long as my senior sister can refine the elixir designated by you personally, I will help you get it."
"well."
Almost as soon as Su Anran finished speaking, Zhu Yuan heard the sound of "triggering the mission" after his mentally retarded system finally gathered the three elements.
And in the task objective section, as expected, the mark [Occupy at least eighteen Tiangang Pond spiritual energy nodes (2/18)] appeared.
But the most outrageous thing is that the mission goal requirements actually include restrictions on members.
[Has eight franchised sects (3/8)]
Counting the Beihai Sword Sect that he represents, Su Anran's Taiyi Valley, and Helianwei's Wanjian Tower, there are exactly three.
This means that he needs to find at least five more sects to join him - which happens to be the four Fenghuaxueyue sects mentioned by Su Anran before, as well as one of the Youyun Villa and the Sword Control Sect.
And when Zhu Yuan looked down, his expression became even more ugly.
Because of this mission, there are also very rare additional reward entries.
But the requirement is that Lingjian Villa joins it and occupies the thirty-six spiritual energy nodes of Tiangang Pool.
"You must find a way to invite Lingjian Villa to join."
"Why?" Su Anran was stunned for a moment, "With all the conditions I just mentioned, it is impossible for your mission system to directly issue a restriction for you to force Lingjian Villa to join the camp."
"You really know how to trigger the mission target correctly!"
Listening to Su Anran's tone, Zhu Yuan still didn't understand that he had fallen into Su Anran's trap from the first moment Su Anran talked to him.
Su Anran smiled, but his lack of refutation also meant his acquiescence.
Although Zhu Yuan felt depressed in his heart, he still answered: "The mission you triggered has additional prizes... As long as you can invite people from Lingjian Villa to join you, you can also capture the spiritual energy of thirty-six Tiangang Pools.
Node, I can directly be promoted to the town and obtain the domain... I need this reward!"
