Merging

The information Lou Ji revealed made Xu Yuan somewhat uneasy.

The world of Cangyuan is vast, depicting the prototype of a Xianxia world with millions of words of text and different plot lines.

However, similarly, beneath this whole world, there are many, many "small worlds".

Secret Realm

Or rather, a copy.

These small worlds, belonging to the dungeons, are intricately connected to the Fourteen Continents of the Central Plains, yet they also subtly exist outside of them.

Now, thanks to his interference, these smaller worlds within the instances have merged with the main world for the first time.

The blood-red viscous liquid in the jade bottle originated from the Ten Thousand People Cave in the Valley of Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines, but now it has appeared in other places.

This is not a good sign.

Xu Yuan was well aware of just how abnormal the characteristics of certain things in those secret realms were.

As a game, these things are confined to a single instance by rigid "rules," and have almost no impact on the outside world.

But things are different now.

If these things were placed in the main world, it might not be considered widespread devastation, but it would definitely escalate into a major catastrophe.

Putting aside everything else, just consider the things he experienced in the Qionghua Secret Realm and the Dead Silence Underground Palace.

The Charm God Cherry Tree's Yuchu, The King of the Strange Ghost ' Beginning.

The former possesses the ability to bewitch even saints, while the latter has an almost invincible infectiousness.

Although they were not at their peak, as intelligent beings, it wasn't too difficult for them to lie low and slowly recover their strength.

after all,

Tianyan has already said,

The Heavenly Oversight Pavilion, which protects humanity, has no future in sight because of his existence.

If these two bosses were released into the Great Yan territory without anyone noticing...

The Charm God Tree Spirit Yuchu didn't seem to care.

After all, he had already avenged his great enemy 20,000 years ago and was only looking for death; he had no intention of creating a world with Jing He.

But the Strange Ghost Queen, Qi, is different. As a former half-saint Strange Ghost, Xu Yuan knows very well how terrifying that thing is.

Once released, and with careful planning, it could sweep across at least one continent, or even several continents, suffering the same fate.

How much of a reaction will such a major disaster elicit at this turbulent time?

Xu Yuan felt a headache coming on just thinking about it.

Lost in thought, Xu Yuan turned his gaze to the venomous beauty beside him, exuding the fragrance of spider lilies, and said in a serious tone:

"Sister, the reason I asked you to investigate this matter was because I heard some related things during my travels."

Lou Ji lowered her eyes, playing with the jade bottle in her hand, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

"Changtian, do you know where that Ten Thousand People Cave is?"

Xu Yuan glanced at Lou Ji beside him and said ambiguously:

I've heard about it.

After a pause, seeing that the other party showed no intention of pressing for the source of the information, Xu Yuan continued:

"It's at the bottom of Black Qian Gorge, but I'm not sure of the exact location."

Is that so?

Lou Ji sighed softly, propping herself up with her hands behind her back, leaning back with her long black hair cascading to the ground, and said in a low voice, "Sister knows."

Xu Yuan glanced sideways at the alluring and dangerous beauty beside him:

"Sis, you're not planning to go by yourself, are you?"

"What, you're reluctant to part with it?"

Lou Ji turned her head and met his gaze; her snake-like green eyes seemed to shimmer with crystalline threads.

But only for a moment, and then she shook her head and gave a soft snort:

"It seems not. It's probably because Changtian knows something but hasn't told my sister yet."

"." Xu Yuan.

Sometimes Xu Yuan really felt like he had been stripped naked in front of these high-ranking officials in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Even their underwear can be seen through at a glance.

They feel that many things are unnecessary, so they see through them but don't say anything.

Well, except for Xu Changge.

After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan said in a low voice:

"The things hidden in that Ten Thousand People Cave are enough to wipe out an entire sect. Unless the Myriad Medicine Sect is stupid, they will definitely cover it up tightly."

"Exterminate the entire family?" Lou Ji remained noncommittal.

Xu Yuan looked at her, his eyes filled with certainty:

"Once the contents are exposed, the Sect Alliance will not tolerate the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines. After all, the members of the Sect Alliance are nominally all from reputable sects."

Just like there are no absolutely bad or good people in this world.

Morality is cheap; it can be measured in money.

But morality is also very valuable; it is priceless.

At least once a certain line is crossed, no human being will tolerate it.

Of course, the main reason is that before the collapse of social order, conflicts of interest still had to follow rules, but the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines's Ten Thousand People Cave had already crossed the line.

Lou Ji narrowed her eyes upon hearing this, a dangerous smile curving her moist lips:

"It seems this Ten Thousand People Cave is not just a place with tens of thousands of people?"

Xu Yuan picked up the teapot and poured a cup of Dragon Yan Fragrance for each of them, nodding in agreement.

"Yes, and at least ten thousand starting with the number hundred."

Upon hearing this number, Lou Ji's eyes remained completely calm, and she murmured thoughtfully:

"A million? That does sound like a lot."

He paused for a moment,

Lou Ji flicked her finger slightly, causing the porcelain cup to clink, and suddenly asked:

"How did you find out about this, Changtian?"

Okay, I'll ask anyway.

Xu Yuan sighed inwardly.

"Just kidding, Changtian. If you don't want to talk about it, then forget it."

Seeing his expression, Lou Ji suddenly smiled sweetly, "Everyone has secrets, and I won't pry into them."

Xu Yuan shook his head and whispered:

"It's nothing. Actually, the way we found out was quite simple: there was a mole in the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines who leaked the information."

He was telling the truth.

In my previous life, while playing in Cangyuan, a traitor from the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines couldn't stand the bloodshed and defected. Players would only discover that Ten Thousand People Cave by following the clues as they completed quests.

"I see."

Lou Ji nodded slightly upon hearing this, and commented with a smile, "It's quite ironic that they exposed themselves in this way."

Seeing that the other party accepted this statement so readily, Xu Yuan was slightly taken aback:

Aren't you going to ask me who that person is?

Does it matter?

Lou Ji glanced at him sideways and asked, giving him a reproachful look before continuing on her own:

"Hmm, it does seem quite important. Someone who can get involved in this kind of thing and escape alive from such a place must have a high status and strength in the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines."

As she spoke, she raised a finger and gently ran it across her smooth chin:

"Let me think, which of the high-ranking members of the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines haven't shown up in a long time?"

Zhang Xingtian

"Lü Kongdao"

"Still Yue Yanxun?"

"."

Xu Yuan gasped, a sense of unease creeping into his heart.

She hadn't expected this older woman to be so good at pushing things.

In an instant, the correct answer was narrowed down to a few people.

Why are you staring at your sister like that?

Lou Ji lazily stretched in front of him, leaned on his shoulder, and chuckled softly:

"When a person possesses most of the information, they only need one key to deduce the correct answer."

After a brief pause,

Lou Ji's voice rang out again, as soft as a ghost from hell:

"Certainly,

"The main reason is that my sister also has places like this under her jurisdiction."

"."

Xu Yuan was taken aback and subconsciously glanced to the side, only to meet her pair of dark and deep green eyes.

They looked at each other silently.

With a charming smile, her face blooming like a flower, Lou Ji's body trembled slightly as she laughed, and she said:

"Changtian, you don't actually think your sister is a good person, do you?"

Xu Yuan paused for a moment, then lowered his eyes and chuckled softly:

"Oh, a good person?"

Having said that, he raised his eyes and stared at her, saying very seriously:

"Sister, I, Xu Changtian, don't care what others think."

"You're a good person to me, that's enough."

"."

Lou Ji's smile faltered slightly upon hearing this.

immediately,

She happily pressed his head forcefully into her chest, her eyes crinkling with a wicked smile:

"That's right, I knew my love for you hadn't been wasted!"

"."

All evil will be brought to justice.

The fragrance of spider lilies filled the air, and Xu Yuan thought to himself.

After angrily rubbing the dog's head for a few breaths, Lou Ji gently released Xu Yuan and stood up.

The warm softness disappeared, Xu Yuan raised his eyes with a hint of regret.

Lou Ji suddenly turned around, met his gaze, and stared at him with a smile:

"Hmm? It seems like Changtian still wants more?"

Xu Yuan chuckled, completely unconcerned:

"This level of flirting is nothing to me."

Lou Ji's eyes flashed with interest upon hearing this. She slightly emerged from behind her black veil, revealing a deep, unfathomable cleavage beneath it, and gently rubbed his head.

"Looks like next time, sister will have to reward Changtian with something even more profound~"

Xu Yuan remained unmoved.

He won't fall for a bunch of empty promises.

After a moment's pause, Xu Yuan raised his hand and swatted her hand away:

"Sis, aren't you going to ask who that person is?"

Lou Ji withdrew her hand, straightened up, and looked down at him:

"It doesn't matter."

Xu Yuan frowned slightly.

Lou Ji explained softly:

"If that person really wanted to provide more information about the Ten Thousand People Cave, my sister would probably have received the news before you told me, Changtian."

As he spoke,

She spread her bare, fair arms to her sides:

"But the fact that it's not happening now means that person simply couldn't accept the inhumanity of the Ten Thousand People Cave, and didn't actually want to betray the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines."

Xu Yuan pointed to himself, his expression unchanged:

"But he gave me the information."

"Changtian, people are contradictory and complex."

Lou Ji said in a leisurely voice:

"The evil deeds committed by a sect will not affect the sect's kindness to a person, nor will they affect a person's feelings for those close to them within the sect."

"He refused to take office to repay the sect's kindness, fled because he hated what the sect had done, and left a trace of his sense of righteousness behind him."

Speaking of this,

Lou Ji suddenly chuckled softly, "Changtian, your description of that person shouldn't be wrong, right?"

"."

Xu Yuan took a deep look at the graceful woman before him, licked his lips, and whispered:

"You're right."

"Since there's no mistake, and the other person has already gone into seclusion, it's not appropriate for me to go looking for them."

Lou Ji let out a long breath and said meaningfully, "Changtian, if we don't go to him, that person might still live; if we do go to him, he will surely die."

"."

Xu Yuan remained silent.

He suddenly had a feeling that Lou Ji, who was standing in front of him, had seen the plot before, just like him.

Lou Ji did not mean that she would kill the man, but that the man would surely commit suicide upon seeing her as the leader of the Black Scale Guard.

He wouldn't even give her a chance to interrogate him.

And the plot of Cangyuan is exactly as Lou Ji said.

After players cleared the Ten Thousand People Cave dungeon, Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines Ten Thousand People Cave besieged and destroyed because of it.

After completing all this, return to the person's secluded spot; options will appear when the player submits the quest.

Inform the other party of the destruction of Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines, or conceal it from them.

Without being informed, that person will become a close friend of the player, allowing them to trade and even lure monsters to the other person's secluded spot, where the other person will offer assistance.

The player is informed that when they return to the secluded spot, they will find only a skeleton.

There was no revenge, no information, only a vow to repay the sect's kindness with death.

At the same time, players will also achieve an achievement called "The Ostrich Man".

If you don't know it, then it hasn't happened.

An ostrich burying its head in the sand.

"A complex person."

After muttering to himself, Xu Yuan suddenly had the urge to see the other person, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.

Now that the original protagonist Qin Mo, is dead, no one will bother him anymore.

If he went there and the other party recognized him, then that somewhat hearty old man would have died for nothing.

He didn't dislike the other person, so he decided to let it go.

"It is indeed complicated, but it's also quite common."

Lou Ji seemed unfazed by such things. "Not everyone is born driven by self-interest, nor are they all evil beings who disregard human life. On the contrary, many people in the sect are actually bound by self-interest, forced to do things out of necessity, and then use lofty ideals such as 'for the sake of humanity, for the future of the common people,' or 'for the sect' to numb themselves until they can no longer be numbed, and then they become like the person you described."

Hearing her complicated tone, Xu Yuan took a sip of the Dragon Yan Fragrance in his cup:

Why are you suddenly saying so much?

Lou Ji chuckled and rolled her eyes at him:

"I was just thinking of a former comrade-in-arms."

"Comrades?"

"She was your father's admirer; she even held you when you were little. However, she wanted to remain neutral in matters concerning the sect, so your father ordered her to be killed. Hmm. I did it myself."

Xu Yuan's eye twitched.

His tone was casual, yet it carried the chilling undercurrent of power.

No wonder I heard people say that he and the emperor killed almost all of his father's friends in Di'an City.

After a brief silence, Xu Yuan whispered:

"Sister, you're being a bit too sentimental."

Lou Ji gave him a deep look, then chuckled:

"Hmph, not everyone gets to see my sister's sentimentality."

As he spoke,

She glanced sideways at the room next door where Tianyan was:

"There are some things you'd better be prepared for, Changtian."

Having said that,

Lou Ji rubbed his head again, then turned around and swayed her hips as she walked towards the door.

Xu Yuan remained silent for a moment, then suddenly whispered:

"May I see what's inside that jade bottle?"

Standing before the door, Lou Ji subconsciously stopped in her tracks, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.

"This stuff is very dangerous. If you get infected with it, I can't develop an antidote right now."

Xu Yuan looked into her eyes and whispered:

"Sister, trust me this once."

As he spoke,

Xu Yuan raised his hand as if to show off, a few strands of red, viscous silk lingering in his palm.

Lou Ji narrowed her beautiful eyes and chuckled softly:

"It seems Changtian, you want to ask about the spirit spirit stuck in your neck? Why not let it out and let it meet your sister?"

"." Luo Xiran.
