Qingyunxian

Chapter 599: Mutual Schemes
If word got out that a demonic immortal hosted a banquet to entertain two mortal cultivators, it would probably shock people.

Yuan Kuan always does things beyond people's expectations. Liu Xun showed no surprise, he just smiled and thanked him.

The scale of Yunxian’s banquet far exceeds that of ordinary cultivators.

There were countless delicacies on the banquet, but Liang Yan and Liu Xun were both extraordinary people, and their expressions remained normal, which made Yuan Kuan even more certain that these two people were of extraordinary backgrounds.

During the meal, Liang Yan again asked to return to the Liang family.

When he was suppressed, Yun Cheng remained in the Liang family and did not enter the turbid world with him.

If I don’t take over Yuncheng, it will be difficult for me to improve myself in the future.

But now that demonic chaos is happening frequently, only by having Yuan Kuan accompany him can one ensure his own safety.

Yuan Kuan put down the wine bottle in his hand, with only a smile on his face: "Friend Liang, it will take some time for my Ape King to break through. When the time comes, I will take you to the Liang family."

There was no intimidation or force, he just repeated his original reasons.

But Liang Yan could tell that this person would not let him leave easily.

Liang Yan was unwilling to give up such a good candidate for slave transport, so he suppressed his urgent thoughts.

Liu Xun spoke up at the right time: "Senior, Brother Liang may have difficulties. My ability to stimulate my bloodline is limited by the Cloud Method and my strength. If I can break through to the third level, the number of times I can stimulate my bloodline every day will increase, and the time for the Ape King to break through will be one step closer, and Brother Liang can go back soon."

The implication is obvious.

If he could make a breakthrough, it would be a good thing for both Yuan Kuan and Liang Yan.

A win-win-win situation!
"Oh?" Yuan Kuan checked Liu Xun's strength and found that it was just as he said, he was almost approaching the third level of Qingzun.

Liang Yan and Liu Xun looked at each other and said, "Senior, I wonder if you can lend a helping hand to Brother Liu. If you can get the Yunxian Ape King in advance, you will definitely gain more in this demonic chaos."

Yuan Kuan's eyes wandered over the two people's faces, and suddenly he clapped his hands and laughed: "You are the most daring ordinary cultivators I have ever seen. You even plotted against a Yunxian like me."

Yuan Kuan's face darkened. The power of Yunxian was so great that the misty clouds in the sky stagnated. Only at this moment did he truly reveal the aura of Yunxian.

How can an ordinary cultivator look directly at the glory of Yunxian!
But Liu Xun and Liang Yan kept their eyes fixed.

After a long silence, Yuan Kuan retracted his aura and returned to his ordinary appearance as a monkey herder.

"Cloud essence is not precious to me. I wonder how much does Young Master Liu need?"

Another change of expression, Liu Xun and the others were already used to it.

Just as Yuan Kuan said, the cloud immortals no longer rely on cloud essence for cultivation. To them, cloud essence is just a by-product.

But for ordinary cultivators, cloud essence is extremely precious.

Liu Xun did not ask for too much, he only asked for two bottles of thunder cloud essence.

Who knew that Yuan Kuan laughed and took out ten bottles of thunder cloud essence.

Now even Liang Yan couldn't sit still anymore.

He was stunned for a moment, with envy in his eyes.

Seeing this, Liu Xun waited quietly for Yuan Kuan to speak.

He felt that Yuan Kuan would not be so generous.

As expected, Yuan Kuan pointed at the strange apes behind the Ape King and said, "I would like to ask my friend Liu to help me for a while. The strength of these strange apes is not enough to support the formation of a large army of strange beasts."

These words seemed like a plea, but Liu Xun heard something different.

Liu Xun narrowed his eyes slightly. As expected, no Yunxian was easy to deal with.

Yuan Kuan's words were actually a test of himself.

According to normal thinking, Yuan Kuan is almost tying him to his side. If he agrees this time, what if he makes the same request next time?

It doesn't look like a threat, and there is also a thunder cloud spirit as a gift. Yuan Kuan's move is really generous.

But Liu Xun saw through his real purpose.

The other party is simply using the thunder cloud essence to test whether there is a strong person behind him.

If Liu Xun took over all the thunder cloud spirits and agreed to Yuan Kuan's request, he would have truly fallen into Yuan Kuan's trap.

Based on this, Yuan Kuan could judge that there was no one behind Liu Xun, he was just timid.

Then Yuan Kuan can imprison Liu Xun without any scruples.

Even if the supernatural power gave a warning, Yuan Kuan still dared to take some risks.

Because Liu Xun has brought so much benefit to him.

Liu Xun didn't know that Yuan Kuan had the ability to seek benefits and avoid harm, but he was able to detect Yuan Kuan's true intentions just by these slight movements, and immediately countered his move.

"No reward without merit. Senior, you are really kind to me. Two bottles are enough for me." Liu Xun politely declined, and casually mentioned his own Yuncheng: "I came to Yuanshan because there are many varieties of monkey wine here. If I hadn't been concerned about the Ape King, I would have gone straight into the mountain. When I return to Yuncheng, there will be enough resources for cultivation." He didn't point out whether there was any force or Yunxian strongman behind it. He just said that the resources were enough and left it at that.

I believe Yuan Kuan can understand the meaning of these words.

Yuan Kuan paused while holding the hand of the Thunder Cloud Spirit, then smiled and said, "Well, I won't force it."

He took back the remaining thundercloud essence.

There was no disappointment on Liu Xun's face, but he saw through some of Yuan Kuan's character.

This is an extremely cautious demon Yunxian.

Liang Yan is not simple either.

When the thundercloud spirit appeared, any normal person would feel jealous, but Liang Yan was slow for a moment before showing any jealous expression.

The other party didn't seem to be interested in this thundercloud spirit.

People who have such a mentality are not easy to deal with, no matter what the reason.

But why have I never heard of Liang Yan’s name in my previous life?

Anyone who can get involved with Yuan Kuan should be somewhat famous.

Liu Xun thought about it and decided that either he was not very famous at the beginning of the Demonic Chaos, or he became famous in the middle of the Demonic Chaos, and by then Liu Xun had already left the White Territory.

Liang Yan lowered his eyes and focused on the delicacies in front of him.

The look just now was put on for Yuan Kuan and Liu Xun to see.

He did this in front of Yuan Kuan to dispel his suspicion and also to show indirectly that he was not interested in these things.

In front of the devil, it is more convincing to pretend and leave a flaw than to admit it openly.

In this regard, he did the same as Liu Xun, revealing half and covering half.

And doing it in front of Liu Xun was to lure Liu Xun into the trap.

Judging from Yuan Kuan's expression, as long as Liu Xun is by his side, Yuan Kuan will not let Liu Xun get seriously injured.

It is difficult to find a qualified person, so Liang Yan wanted to plant the seeds of good fortune in Liu Xun, but there was no way.

Liu Xun never took Liang Yan seriously after arriving here, so Liang Yan took the opportunity just now to let Liu Xun pay more attention to him.

I think the other party will think he is not simple now.

With this foundation, I can make some additional moves later to make Liu Xun pay more attention to me.

When this kind of attention is constantly amplified, it will most likely turn into vigilance or friendship.

Liang Yan did not hesitate to portray himself as a person with ulterior motives. The other party would then have two options: one was to intimidate him through Yuan Kuan, and the other was to be vigilant on his own.

If encountering a powerful foreign enemy, Yuan Kuan would not spend too much time on it.

At that time, Liu Xun would have to pay attention to external threats while also paying attention to the pressure brought by his own side. If he was not careful, Liu Xun would be seriously injured.

Of course, if you help someone when he is about to die, the other person will fall into self-doubt and will not fight to the death.

Although Liang Yan was not afraid of a Qingzun realm master, he still couldn't go too far in front of Yuan Kuan.

This is just Liang Yan's assumption, and his behavior might be interpreted by Liu Xun as real emotions.

No matter what, Liang Yan has already begun to plot against Liu Xun, the qualified person.

If Liu Xun knew that Liang Yan’s thoughts were so complicated, he would probably just smile.

The two are similar people, but different in some ways.

Liu Xun values ​​the interlinked interests more. Liang Yan's method of giving up other interests for one goal is still too crude.

But it was a bit rough, and Liu Xun really didn't notice Liang Yan's true thoughts.

After the banquet, Liu Xun digested the thunder cloud essence he got from Yuan Kuan.

Before he joined the demonic chaos, he safely received two bottles of thundercloud essence from a demonic cloud fairy.

Not only this, but Yuan Kuan is also the cover-up for Liu Xun that is pushed to the public.

Compared to Yunxian who was indirectly influenced by Sun Shouyi's pawns, Yuan Kuan, who was about to become a Yunxian-level ape king, had double the sixth-turn combat power.

The trap is set up like this, and now both parties are willing.

Since becoming the Thunder Cloud Spirit, Liu Xun has not forgotten his original goal.

The core fragments of the turbid world.
