After Xiaoyu finished speaking, ripples suddenly appeared in the originally empty hall, and a vague figure slowly appeared. A majestic evil spirit spread out from the body of the vague figure like a strong wind.
, swept the entire branch hall.
At this moment, the wind was howling in the branch hall, and the evil aura was surging, as if it was a demonic energy. It was pressing heavily on Xiaoyu's heart. Xiaoyu's expression remained unchanged, but he was secretly on guard in his heart. This person had such strong evil aura that Xiaoyu had rarely seen in his life.
Only by massacring at least several thousand people can such a terrifying evil spirit be gathered.
After a while, the slightly blurry figure walked out of the void. The ripples in the space dissipated. The evil spirit that swept through the branch hall opened its mouth and inhaled, turning into a strong wind and pouring into its body.
, the slightly blurry figure slowly became solid, revealing a middle-aged man.
This person has thick black hair, hanging casually behind his back. His slightly dark skin reveals a sense of fortitude. His deep eyes are like an abyss, making it impossible to see through. His slightly thin lips have a faint smile, but
This smile seemed to reveal a chill that no one dared to ignore.
A set of dark red armor is worn on the upper body of this person, setting off the looming domineering power of this person, like a general who has returned from a hundred battles. A dark red fish tail on his lower body is reflected in a wave of evil energy.
When lifted up and swung slightly, the dark red scales on the fish's tail looked like they were made of blood, shimmering with a faint red glow.
Xiaoyu's expression was calm and calm, but his heart was extremely solemn. He secretly looked at the middle-aged man, pointed to the seat next to him, and said politely: "Fellow Taoist, please!"
The middle-aged man glanced coldly, seeing that there was no chair at the octagonal jade table, then turned his head and glanced at Xiaoyu, the smile on his lips became fuller, he slightly clasped his hands and said: "Fellow Taoist, if you are interested, then I will try it."
Let’s taste how your spiritual tea goes.”
The middle-aged man's fish tail swayed and slowly floated to the octagonal jade table. This man is a strong man of the mermaid tribe and has no legs. Naturally, he does not need a chair. The fish tail is miniature and coiled on the evil wave. He holds up the octagonal jade table.
of tea and took a sip.
"Yes, this green wood tea tastes even better after it is soaked in the fourth-level spiritual spring!" The middle-aged man nodded and praised it heartily.
"Fellow Taoist can tell the origin of this tea and the level of the spiritual spring it is soaked in after just one sip. He is obviously an expert in tea ceremony. Xiao is disrespectful!" Xiao Yu clasped his hands slightly and flattered him with some respect.
The middle-aged man picked up the cup, took another sip of the tea in the cup, shook his head with a hint of enjoyment, and said: "I'm so glad, fellow Taoist, that I can taste the origin of this tea because I got some green wood in my early years.
The tea leaves have also been soaked in a fourth-level spiritual spring, and the taste is similar to this tea. Therefore, only after tasting it, can one tell the origin of this tea, and it is not a Taoist friend who says he knows the tea ceremony."
"I see, it was Xiao who was rude." Xiao Yu apologized apologetically, and after secretly guessing the person's origin, he said, "May I ask what your friend's name is?"
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes slightly, with an expression that was half-smiling, and looked at Xiaoyu deeply, as if he had read through his thoughts, and said lightly: "Even if I don't say it, my fellow Taoist must have guessed it in his heart.
One or two, then I will no longer hide it, my name is Shui Yuanjun."
"Sure enough, it's this person!" Xiao Yu's heart trembled slightly. It was one thing to guess, but it was another thing to be confirmed.
"Fellow Taoist turns out to be the most famous demon general of the mermaid tribe. Xiao has been admiring him for a long time!" Xiao Yu clasped his fists again and bowed with a hint of respect.
"The number one demon general is just a false name, fellow Taoist, don't care about it." Shui Yuanjun shook his head indifferently, looked at Xiao Yu with a strange light in his eyes, and said, "fellow Taoist Xiao, are you guessing that I am here?
What is the purpose of this, or what do you think of it?"
"This person is not simple." Xiao Yu felt quite solemn in his heart. Shui Yuanjun's scheming was far beyond Xiao Yu's imagination. When talking to this person, it seemed as if every move was under the control of this person, even unconsciously.
, guided the direction of Xiaoyu’s thinking.
"This Lord Shui Yuan is indeed unfathomable. No wonder only Shui Ningrou in the entire mermaid tribe can suppress this person." Xiaoyu's guarded mind became a little stronger, but his expression remained unchanged and he said calmly:
"Since fellow Taoist has guessed Xiao's thoughts, Xiao will speak frankly. I dare to ask fellow Taoist whether the sudden departure of Shui Ling'er, the third demon general, was caused by fellow Taoist and whether it was the assassin who assassinated Xiao.
Sent by fellow Taoists?"
Hearing this, the cold smile on the corner of Shui Yuanjun's mouth slowly tightened, and his deep eyes suddenly became ice-cold. He stared at Xiao Yu coldly, and a compelling murderous intention slowly lingered around him.
Izuku Yuanjun's body.
Taking a look at Shui Yuanjun's sudden change, Xiaoyu didn't show any nervousness. He sipped the tea with a calm expression and waited for Shui Yuanjun's explanation. He acted extremely calmly.
Xiao Yu is not afraid of Shui Yuanjun's sudden cruelty. Xiao Yu doesn't know when Shui Yuan Jun appeared in the branch hall, but this person did not hide it deliberately, otherwise he would not be so easily noticed by Xiao Yu, and Shui Yuan
Jun also witnessed with his own eyes the scene when Xiao Yu killed five assassins, but did not stop him.
And after the assassin retreated, Shui Yuanjun deliberately showed up to meet him, which shows that Shui Yuanjun did not want to kill Xiao Yu with his own hands, or that Shui Yuanjun had scruples and did not dare to take Xiao Yu's life, but Shui Yuan Jun showed up.
Xiaoyu didn't see through this, and didn't know what his purpose was.
Shui Yuanjun stared at Xiao Yu with frosty eyes. It took almost ten breaths before his eyes gradually softened and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said: "Since fellow Taoist has guessed the answer, I will
I won’t hide it from my fellow Taoist, I did lure Shui Ling’er away on purpose, but these assassins were not appointed by me.”
"So, you are not the only one behind the scenes?" Xiao Yu put down the teacup and looked at Shui Yuanjun with a cold look in his eyes.
Shui Yuanjun nodded and said nothing, obviously acquiescing to Xiao Yu's guess.
Xiao Yu frowned secretly, pondered for a while, and asked in a cold voice: "Xiao has only been in Bailongjian for six days. Even if Xiao offended Elder Shui Changhui in the Kunlong Palace that day, Xiao is Her Majesty the Queen.
As the only disciple, I believe that Shui Changhui will also be wary and not dare to do anything to Xiao. In this case, Xiao is a little bit confused. You, the mermaid clan elders, are deliberately trying to kill Xiao.
,Why exactly?”
"Hehe, the question that Fellow Daoist Xiao can't figure out is also the reason why I show up to meet you." Shui Yuanjun chuckled sinisterly and looked at Xiao Yu with a somewhat thoughtful look.
Xiaoyu remained motionless and did not answer a word. He was on full alert and quietly waited for Shui Yuanjun's explanation.
Shui Yuanjun stared at Xiao Yu for a while and then asked coldly: "Which sect of the human race does Brother Xiao come from? What are your intentions towards the mermaid clan? Her Majesty the Queen accepted you as a disciple and reached an agreement with the forces behind you.
What kind of transaction is it? I wonder if Fellow Taoist Xiao can tell me?"
"Is this the reason why the elders deliberately wanted to kill me?" Xiao Yu frowned secretly. At this moment, he had already figured out all the cause and effect.
"If Fellow Daoist Xiao thinks so, it's not wrong." Shui Yuanjun admitted Xiao Yu's guess and said with a sneer: "Fellow Daoist Xiao, you should tell the truth, otherwise I guarantee that you will not be able to leave Bailong Stream alive.
"
Xiao Yu looked at Shui Yuan Jun silently, but his brain was spinning rapidly, and he muttered a little: "Xiao doesn't want to get involved in the internal battles of the mermaid clan. Master accepted me as his disciple for other reasons, not as you think.
My thoughts are average, and Xiao is just a casual cultivator with no background in the human race. There is only so much that Xiao can say. You can decide for yourself whether you believe it or not."
Hearing this, Shui Yuanjun didn't react at all and just drank tea by himself. After a long time, he sighed helplessly and said: "Xiaoyu, no matter what the reason is, since you have become a disciple of Her Majesty the Queen, I
I won’t embarrass you. I believe your answer 70%, but I don’t know if they will believe it. But I will help you delay. You must leave Bailongjian after seven days, otherwise you will die.
Undoubtedly! You don’t need to be grateful, I will do this all for Her Majesty the Queen, I will say this, and I hope you will take care of yourself."
After saying that, the helplessness on Shui Yuanjun's face slowly dissipated, and his eyes became a little cold. He glanced at Xiao Yu for the last time. Shui Yuanjun's body slowly blurred, and then suddenly collapsed, turning into countless forms.
The black energy dissipated in the branch hall.
"Xiao Yu, remember my words. I don't want the Queen to be at a disadvantage. She must leave Bailong Stream within seven days, otherwise I will come and kill you myself!" This was the last sentence Shui Yuanjun left before disappearing.
Xiaoyu sat in front of the octagonal jade table in the branch hall, looking at the tea cup in his hand in silence. Before coming to Bailongjian, Xiaoyu was already prepared to deal with the crisis. However, after entering Bailongjian, Xiaoyu realized that Bailongjian
The crisis in Longjian was more complicated than he expected. He was involved in a conspiracy for no reason, which made Xiaoyu quite unwilling.
Moreover, Shui Yuanjun is a very strange person. On the one hand, he stands on the side of the elders and helps them assassinate him, but on the other hand, he is loyal to Shui Ningrou. He is a bit like a double agent. Xiao Yu cannot understand this person, but
Xiaoyu realized the real purpose of Shui Yuanjun's appearance.
In the previous conversation, Shui Yuanjun mentioned the fact that Xiao Yu became Shui Ningrou's disciple many times. This was to wake up Xiao Yu. Then Shui Yuanjun asked about Xiao Yu's origins and revealed that the group of elders seemed to be
Some conspiracy was brewing, and the fact that Xiao Yu unexpectedly came to Bailong Stream and became Shui Ningrou's disciple affected the plans of the elder group.
Many people can see how talented Xiao Yu is, and she defeated Shui Chang Hui in a battle over the ranks. How could a person with such great potential not have a certain background in the human race? Moreover, Shui Ningrou was not interested in accepting Xiao Yu as her disciple.
But there was no explanation. How could the elders not suspect the possibility of Shui Ningrou secretly contacting foreign forces.
That’s why the elder group sent assassins to secretly assassinate Xiao Yu, intending to frame Shui Ningrou. Xiao Yu died in Bailong Stream, and Shui Ningrou was naturally involved. The virtual power behind Xiao Yu was
There will definitely be a break with Shui Ningrou, and then the conspiracy of the elders can be carried out according to the original plan.
Shui Yuanjun, who learned about this, couldn't tell Shui Ningrou directly for some reason, so he found Xiao Yu, revealed the information in hidden words, and asked Xiao Yu to tell it on his behalf. It can be said that this is a story.
The benefit Xiaoyu gained from this transaction was his life safety in Bailongjian for the next seven days.
"The water in the mermaid tribe is too deep!" Xiao Yu frowned slightly, already making up his mind, he raised his head and looked at the looming figure at the door of the branch hall.
