Chapter 3: The Secret of the Dragon King's Banquet (3rd Watch)
Shen Yuan, who was about to take the Maine up the mountain, followed the prestige, only to see a young man in a blue shirt waving to him, with a faint sense of trepidation under his happy expression.
Shen Yuan was slightly stunned, realizing that this place did not seem to be simple, and after a little hesitation, he secretly transmitted to the Maine:
"You and I go separately."
"Yes!"
The Maine pretended not to know Shen Yuan, and slowly walked to the top of the mountain with a proud posture.
A large number of little demons have surrounded the Maine to guide it, and their faces with different styles are full of humanized flattery, and the demon clan of the Qi Realm is already an existence that needs to be looked up to for most of the little demons present.
As for Shen Yuan, who was walking towards He Yao, no one had paid attention to it for a long time.
Before Shen Yuan stepped forward, He Yao grabbed Shen Yuan, and with a very enthusiastic look on his face, he took Shen Yuan to a remote corner.
Looking around and making sure that his actions did not attract too much attention from the demon clan, He Yao breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"I don't know you, I just said that just to let you come over."
"Don't rush up the mountain now, there's something wrong with this Dragon Monarch Banquet!"
"Just someone went up the mountain, and they were killed by the little demon for a reason, and some people who wanted to escape were also chased by the demon clan.
Stay here and wait for the timing to change, maybe there will be a glimmer of life. ”
Listening to He Yao's serious admonition, Shen Yuan showed a smile on his face and saluted He Yao:
"In Xia Shen Yuan, thank you for coming to the rescue."
He Yao hurriedly waved his hand and said:
"My name is He Yao, I don't need to thank you for this little thing, I just said a word."
Although He Yao's words were humble, he couldn't help but show a smug smile on his face.
But then, He Yao seemed to remember his situation, and the smile on his face turned into a little bitter.
"This can only save for a while, you and I are in a dilemma, whether we can get out alive is still unknown."
Speaking of this, He Yao's face showed even more anger.
"I really don't know who spread the news on the forum, blowing the so-called Dragon Monarch Banquet into a daze, and even attached a lot of records from ancient documents.
As a result, only a group of demons were left dancing here, and we ordinary cultivators couldn't even save our lives, and we might be eaten by those demon clans at some point.
Attending the Dragon Monarch Banquet? I'm afraid we're the main course at that feast! ”
He Yao's words made Shen Yuan's expression move slightly.
He got the news about the Dragon Monarch Banquet from the mouth of the Maine, and he didn't know the forum in He Yao's mouth, but there were some strange things about the Dragon Monarch Banquet held by Fubo Dragon Monarch.
As the Fubo Dragon Monarch, he is not qualified to hold a real Dragon Monarch Banquet at all, and the current spread of this so-called Dragon Monarch Banquet among the demon clan and the water tribe is just to praise it.
But this news, which was supposed to be circulating between the demon clan and the water clan, actually spread to the human race society, and even a human race cultivator like He Yao in the refining realm could know about it, which in itself revealed something unusual.
There must be someone behind this.
Almost immediately, Shen Yuan thought of the Qingzhou Liu family, a family that had a close relationship with Fubo Longjun.
If it was with the influence of the Liu family, it would indeed be possible to spread the news of this Dragon Monarch Banquet among the cultivators.
"But what is the purpose of the person behind it?"
"Simply killing ordinary cultivators? Or do you want to murder some people?
Or what can the people behind the scenes gain from it? ”
Shen Yuan felt that this matter was very strange, maybe it was related to the cooperation with the Liu family and Fubo Longjun.
After thinking about it for a while, Shen Yuan still didn't have a clue, but He Yao was very talkative and kept complaining about what happened to Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan could see that under He Yao's talkative appearance, he actually wanted to distract himself in this way and reduce the fear in his heart.
Shen Yuan had a good impression of He Yao, and at the same time, it also made Shen Yuan more and more disgusted with the plans of the people behind the scenes.
"He Daoyou has heard of the Liu family?"
Shen Yuan's knowledge was insufficient, so he simply asked He Yao directly.
If you can get some useful information from the victim's mouth, it may be of some help to Shen Yuan's judgment.
"The Liu family?"
He Yao's face changed suddenly, his expression was a little unnatural, and his eyes looked at Shen Yuan with a little suspicion.
"The Liu family of Qingzhou is famous, and how many people in the whole Qingzhou don't know?"
Although it was a compliment, He Yao's tone was a little sarcastic.
Shen Yuan said as usual: "I'm from Yunzhou, but I heard some things about the Liu family on the road, so I'm a little curious." ”
When He Yao heard this, his face immediately became kind, and he apologized again and again:
"I'm really sorry, Shen Daoyou suddenly said about the Liu family, I thought Daoyou had something to do with the Liu family."
Shen Yuan shook his head indifferently, and said with some doubts:
"Did Daoyou ever have a conflict with the Liu family?"
"It's more than a contradiction!" He Yao said with a gloomy expression: "Shen Daoyou, you are from Yunzhou, naturally you don't know how domineering this Qingzhou King is. ”
"Before March, I unexpectedly stepped into the realm of refining and became one of the only innate cultivators in a million, and all organizations, including the Great Xia Imperial Court, threw olive branches to me, including the Liu family.
The attitude of the people of the Liu family was very modest at the beginning, and they even offered to let me marry the lady of the Liu family, and provide me with many follow-up cultivation resources.
The conditions of the Liu family coupled with the huge influence of the King of Qingzhou, in fact, I have a bias in my heart to join the Liu family.
However, just after I showed some intentions, the Liu family suddenly took out a so-called spirit contract, claiming that as long as I signed the spirit contract, all my conditions would be satisfied. ”
"I didn't agree to it at the first time, but secretly searched for relevant information on the practitioners' forum.
The spiritual contract is indeed a treasure for signing contracts between cultivators, but the value of spiritual contracts involving fair trade is often extremely high, and the Liu family doesn't need to spend such a big price just to buy me.
On the day of the signing of the contract, the Liu family took out the spirit contract, and I was already prepared, and I immediately recognized that it was not a transaction spirit contract at all, but a modified spirit beast contract.
The Liu family wants to use deception to guide me to sign the spirit beast contract! ”
Shen Yuan's pupils shrank suddenly, and he had a more comprehensive understanding of this so-called Qingzhou Wang Liu family.
The spirit beast contract is a contract prepared by cultivators to control those low-qualification spirit beasts, because the spirit beasts that sign the contract will be stripped of part of their divine souls, and the spirit beast master can control their divine souls to grasp the power of life and death over the spirit beasts.
However, the spirit beast contract will greatly damage the potential of the spirit beast, so unless it is absolutely necessary, cultivators will rarely use the spirit beast contract on the spirit beast.
Even the contract that was cautious about the use of spirit beasts, the Liu family actually secretly tampered with it in an attempt to lure cultivators to sign it.
Once a cultivator signs the contract, his net worth and life are all in the hands of the Liu family.
And since the spirit beast contract will strip the divine soul of the damage potential, there is almost no possibility for the cultivator to turn over after signing it.
Such a move is enough to see the viciousness of the Liu family's thoughts.
"And then?"
"I pierced the Liu family's methods on the spot." He Yao's expression was gloomy.
"Then I was threatened by the Liu family, they forced me to bury this matter in my heart and not allow it to be spread outside, and once the news came out, they would do something to me."
Shen Yuan couldn't help but ask: "This Liu family is so unscrupulous and plotting to kill the Tianjiao of the human race, Qingzhou really has no one to take care of it?" ”
He Yao sighed and said, "The Liu family has already made preparations in advance when planning, and they will definitely not get into trouble.
There are only a handful of people in Qingzhou who can threaten the Liu family, and they will not cause more trouble for a cultivator who is not related to him.
And the Liu family will give up as long as it is exposed when facing cultivators, and will not choose to do it directly, nor will they force the other party to a dead end, barely leaving a glimmer of life and not making a big move. ”
"What's more important is that I had already rejected the pull of the Great Xia court and several other great families.
The Liu family chose me as a target because they saw that no one could help me get ahead. ”
