Only Schemes Win Hearts! Nihility Devouring Flame?

Zhang Yuan quickly guessed what Yun Shan was planning to do. ✋👌 🐟🎉

It's possible that Gu He agreed to marry Yun Yun, but his real intention was to use this opportunity to gather all the powerful and influential figures within the Jia Ma Empire.

After all, if Gu He succeeds, it will mean that the Pill King Imperial Family the Misty Cloud Sect Master will be married. Whether it is the imperial family, the three major families, the famous cultivators among the rogue cultivators, the military Dou Wang commanders, or the heads of the major families in various cities, they will definitely be willing to witness it and give Gu He face.

At that time, Yun Shan will demonstrate the strength of Dou Zong, and even bring out the Soul Hall to support him, which will force everyone to follow Misty Cloud Sect's lead and achieve victory in one battle!

Whether Yun Yun is willing or not is not important to Yun Shan at present, as long as it is good for him and the development of the Misty Cloud Sect.

Moreover, from a utilitarian perspective, no one in the vast Jia Ma Empire is more outstanding than Gu He and worthy of Yun Yun.

Even if Gu He later finds out there was something wrong with the marriage proposal, he won't be angry as the one who benefited from it.

"However, given those guys in the Soul Hall's thirst for souls, Yun Shan might not be sincere." Zhang Yuan looked at Gu He with pity in his eyes.

Gu He:?

At this moment, Yun Yun felt ice-cold all over.

She understood Zhang Yuan's meaning: Yun Shan wanted to use her to deceive Gu He and make her last contribution, while also consolidating all the forces within the Jia Ma Empire in one fell swoop.

To think that her former master, who had treated her like his own daughter, could do this to her was a bitter pill to swallow, and filled her with boundless rage.

She believed that a person could change, especially after their strength and status had greatly improved, but it wouldn't happen so drastically all at once.

He went from appreciating tranquility to being power-hungry; from being upright and honest to being unscrupulous; from being humble and open-minded to being ambitious.

This must be caused by external forces; the Soul Hall is controlling the teacher from behind.

Thinking of this, a murderous intent flashed in Yun Yun's eyes, and her slender fingers clenched the Nine Abyss Token.

After a moment's thought, she sent Zhang Yuan a message: "Brother Yuan, please explain some truths to Gu He. I, Yun Yun, will only marry a man who moves my heart."

"Of course, of course," Zhang Yuan replied immediately.

"Gu He, you've been used by Yun Shan," Zhang Yuan said.

"Lord, what do you mean by that?" Gu He's smile froze.

"There's something you might not know," Zhang Yuan said, taking out a thumb ring. "Sister Yun has long been in love with me, saying she'll marry no one but me. Do you think she'll agree to marry you?"

"What!" Gu He suddenly stood up, his eyes wide open.

He never expected that Zhang Yuan would be his rival in love.

No, I like Yun Yun, but Yun Yun likes Zhang Yuan. Is this a love triangle?

None of that matters. The real question is, if Yun Yun likes Zhang Yuan, why did Yun Shan still come to me with those things?

"You left early that day, so there are some things you don't know." Zhang Yuan saw through Gu He's thoughts at a glance, so he told him what everyone had discussed at the Stone Desert City Lord's Mansion after he left that day.

Gu He then realized that Yun Shan had broken through to the Dou Zong with the help of the Soul Hall and was now under their control.

It turns out that there were so many schemes involved in having her lead the proposal; she was just a tool to gather people together.

"There's something you might not know," Zhang Yuan continued after letting Gu He calmly consider the matter for a moment. "The Old Yao disappeared for so many years was because his adopted disciple Han Feng, colluded with the Soul Hall to plot against him, simply because the Soul Hall wanted to obtain a powerful soul."

"Yun Shan's scheming against you is likely because the Soul Hall wants your soul."

Upon hearing this, Gu He completely ignored the last sentence and roared, "What a Soul Hall! What a Han Feng! He actually used underhanded schemes to plot against my master! I, Gu He, will fight them to the death!"

"Lord of the Manor, please give the order! I, Gu He, am willing to be the first to attack the Misty Cloud Sect!"

As expected of Old Yao's devoted follower, Gu He readily made his change of heart.

Zhang Yuan didn't agree immediately. Instead, he told Yun Yun about the situation and then asked, "I'll lead my men up tomorrow. Yun-jie, you can act as an inside agent and guide the way, and also set up a plan to dismantle the Cloud Smoke Overturning Sun Formation. What do you think?"

"I don't think this plan is good enough," Yun Yun sent a message, which surprised Zhang Yuan.

Before he could ask, Yun Yun continued to send a message: "Brother Yuan, I think we can cooperate with our teacher and have Gu He bring people to propose marriage."

This answer surprised Zhang Yuan, but he wasn't surprised at all and lowered his head to ponder.

Yun Yun said she didn't want to hand it over to someone she didn't like, which meant she wasn't interested in Gu He.

She said she could cooperate, but that didn't mean she was compromising with Yun Shan or forcing herself to get married.

She just wanted to use the Gu He to call everyone over.

As for the purpose

Borrowing a hen to lay eggs!

To help him achieve what the Yun Shan Misty Cloud Sect had envisioned for the Nine Abyss Mansion.

"Sister Yun, you don't need to wrong yourself." A sharp glint appeared in Zhang Yuan's eyes.

Inside the main hall of the Misty Cloud Sect Master, Yun Yun felt a warmth in her heart as she read the message, thinking to herself that this man understood her.

"You know the inside story and won't misunderstand, that's enough," Yun Yun replied, her fair face slightly flushed.

This was a rather bold statement, no different from directly stating her feelings; she felt like she was going crazy.

Zhang Yuan's lips curled slightly as he replied, "If that's your stance, then I'm even less willing to allow you to agree to this."

What a domineering little man.

Yun Yun smiled and replied earnestly, "Brother Yuan, listen to me. With your strength and influence, you can indeed subdue the Misty Cloud Sect and easily integrate all the forces within the Jia Ma Empire."

"But if you do this, some people with ulterior motives won't be exposed immediately. They might stir up trouble in the shadows one day, and even if you're not afraid, you'll still find it annoying."

"Furthermore, the people from the Soul Hall behind the teacher may not always be at the Misty Cloud Sect. If you rashly come to our door, they might escape and give us the opportunity to target you from the shadows."

"If we proceed according to the teacher's plan, we can gather all the high-ranking officials of the Jia Ma Empire together. Those with ulterior motives will all reveal themselves, and the people from the Soul Hall will definitely be there as well. We can then wipe them all out in one fell swoop."

After revealing her true feelings, Yun Yun, as the leader of a sect, demonstrated her wisdom.

Even Zhang Yuan had to admit that her idea was good.

For example, if the Soul Hall isn't dealt with this time, it will definitely instigate the surrounding empires to encircle and annihilate them.

"I know what you care about. That day, we don't need to wait for Gu He to speak. I'll step in first and push all the problems onto Yun Leng, and then you can take action with your men," Yun Yun advised again.

Having said that, Zhang Yuan couldn't say anything more.

After all, Gu He was just taking people to the Misty Cloud Sect; no one knew what he was going to do.

"Gu He." Zhang Yuan explained the plan to Gu He.

"Lord, I understand." Gu He's eyes lit up. "I will entrust this matter to my disciple, and then we can claim that he was deceived by Elder Yun Leng."

"At that time, Sect Master Yun Yun and I will clarify immediately that I have no intention of proposing marriage."

Zhang Yuan: "."

Poor Yun Leng, he still couldn't escape the fate of becoming the King of Pots.

Let's leave it at that.

Zhang Yuan finalized the details with Yun Yun and then arranged for Gu He to carry them out.

"I never expected that Sect Master Yun Yun would fall for the Prefect."

Gu He left the Jia Ma Empire Royal Family, let out a long sigh, and revealed a relieved smile.

Perhaps only someone like Zhang Yuan, whom she herself felt inferior to, could move Yun Yun's heart.

They were a perfect match, a match made in heaven, so there was nothing left for me to hesitate about.

"The most important thing right now is the Soul Hall!" A murderous intent flashed in Gu He's eyes.

The Old Yao gave him a Emperor Breaking Pill, a Rank 6 Pill that could increase the chance of Peak Dou Wang expert breaking through to Dou Emperor by 30%, and would retain the realm even if the attempt failed. He went to refine it.

Once I break through to the Dou Emperor, I'll be able to fight then!

Meanwhile, on the Floating Mountain.

Yun Yun Dou Qi Wings and arrived at the back mountain to pay her respects to Yun Shan.

What is it?

Yun Shan appeared with his hands behind his back and barefoot. He walked through the air and came to a short distance in front of Yun Yun. His expression was neither sad nor happy, but full of inexplicable majesty.

A bright smile appeared on Yun Yun's face as she said, "Master, I heard from Gu He that you wanted him to come and ask for my hand in marriage."

"I would not have agreed to this, because I wanted to dedicate my life to the Misty Cloud Sect. But now that you have emerged from seclusion Dou Zong and can regain the position of Sect Master, I will follow your arrangements."

Yun Shan frowned, seemingly displeased that Gu He and Yun Yun had mentioned this matter.

But when he heard that Yun Yun didn't refuse, but was about to agree, his brows relaxed and a smile appeared on his face.

Especially when he saw Yun Yun's gentle smile, he couldn't help but recall the time when he taught her to study when they were young, and his heart warmed.

Ultimately, he was the disciple he had personally raised and taught, and who shared his knowledge and skills with him.

"If you're willing, then that's good." Yun Shan nodded and said, "In this vast Jia Ma Empire, there is no man more outstanding than Gu He, and he happens to be in love with you. I'm doing this for your own good."

Yun Yun nodded obediently, then asked gracefully, "Teacher, why haven't you claimed the pendant I gave you a while ago?"

"How do you know that your master has not yet performed the blood oath?" Yun Shan retorted.

I don't know, but my bratty little brother does.

A thought flashed through Yun Yun's mind, but her smile remained unchanged as she said, "Teacher, I told you that day that after the blood-binding token is used, it can be like Soul Token, indicating whether the owner is alive or dead."

"Actually, besides that, it also has the function of transmitting sound over long distances."

"If you acknowledge me as your master, then I can communicate with you telepathically."

As she spoke, Yun Yun took out her Nine Abyss Token.

"Transmitting a message over a thousand miles?"

Yun Shan took out the Nine Abyss Token with great interest.

The reason he didn't acknowledge the Nine Abyss Token as his master was because of some delays and forgetfulness, which he later deemed insignificant.

But if it had the ability to transmit sound over long distances, the effect would be extraordinary, and he was quite interested.

"Yes, the tokens are mother and child tokens. Once the two tokens recognize each other, they can communicate even if they are thousands of miles apart. However, it requires a certain amount of Dou Qi, and the greater the distance, the greater the consumption." Yun Yun's beautiful eyes brightened slightly as she patiently explained.

She now wants to trick Yun Shan into recognizing the Nine Abyss Token as its master, which would allow her to break the Soul Hall's control over Yun Shan.

Zhang Yuan said that the ability to transmit sound over a thousand miles could lure Yun Shan to his place, so she decided to give it a try.

In retrospect, it was indeed useful.

"You've put your heart into this." Yun Shan nodded in satisfaction, forcing a drop of blood from his fingertip onto the Nine Abyss Token.

At the same time, Zhang Yuan, who was contemplating the Thunder God Diagram to increase his Soul Power, sensed a strange fluctuation.

Following this ripple, he arrived at a special ocean.

After a brief examination, he revealed a playful smile.

This is interesting!
