Ziyun spoke first, " Devil Emperor, it is I Ziyun!"
"Oh."
Huo Xiaoyan said, " Devil Emperor, I am Huo Xiaoyan!"
"Oh."
At this moment, Lu Yinjian said, "Don't bother introducing yourselves. Judging from this situation, he'll forget your names in less than three seconds."
At this moment, Ge Ya turned his head and pointed at Ziyun: "What's your name again?"
Ziyun: "..."
Lu Yinjian frowned, having listened and pondered silently. Now, his gaze turned slightly cold as he asked Gu Yuan, "You previously mentioned that the Devil Emperor was injured by a mysterious person in the Fourth Universe. Do you know anything about this mysterious person?"
Gu Yuan shook his head. "I don't know the specifics either, perhaps Brother Xie knows!"
Lu Yinjian said, "I understand."
Gu Yuan sighed, "You've only just returned, and this is the first thing you've encountered. The Devil Emperor is facing such a calamity... Actually, I originally wanted to hide it from you, but I knew it was impossible!"
Lu Yinjian glanced at Ge Ya and nodded slightly. "Putting that aside, the Devil Emperor is still quite healthy."
Everyone: "..."
At this moment, Gu Yuan said solemnly, " The Devil Emperor's current situation is not good for us, especially at this crucial juncture. Unless... you are willing to temporarily shelve your plans!"
Lu Yinjian said with a faint smile, "No one can shake my plan."
Gu Yuan said, "I know!"
Lu Yinjian, "You already know, why are you asking?"
Gu Yuan said, "Hehe, this is just a test to see if there's any possibility of making you give up!"
Lu Yinjian smiled but remained silent.
A moment of silence.
Suddenly, Ge Ya said, "Where is my junior brother? I need to find him!"
Gu Yuan hurriedly said, "He's cultivating! Devil Emperor, let's not disturb Brother Xie!"
Ge Ya glared at him and said coldly, "You want to stop me, the Emperor?"
Gu Yuan hesitated for a moment.
Ge Ya took two steps, then suddenly turned around, pointed at Ziyun, and commanded, "I'm hungry! I want to eat! You, go and get some food!"
Ziyun's eyes widened as she looked around. "What? Where am I supposed to get you food? The Evil Lord of the Gu Yuan, the Devil Emperor, is begging! Quickly, give him some!"
Gu Yuan spread his hands. "He's already eaten all the food stored by the Xuanji Sect today, there's no food left!"
Shuangyan pointed to the distant mountains. "There's the scent of prey there! Goats, wild boars, lots of them."
Gu Yuan said, "Knowing there are many prey, why don't you hurry and catch some for His Majesty!"
Ziyun said, "We are guests! How dare you, the host, order us around?"
Before Gu Yuan could answer, Ge Ya had already lost his patience. He stomped his foot, and the ground instantly cracked open with a fissure hundreds of feet wide!
Everyone's expression changed slightly, Lu Yinjian calmly said, " Ziyun, go catch a wild boar."
At that moment, a graceful figure suddenly appeared. She hurried to Ge Ya and placed a fragrant roasted goose leg in his hand.
Ge Ya's eyes lit up, and he immediately picked up the roasted goose leg and began to devour it.
Only then did he calm down!
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Ziyun patted her chest and gasped for breath. "That scared me to death! How can someone be so domineering without any cultivation!"
"So, he is the Devil Emperor!"
The woman in blue turned around, her almond-shaped eyes sparkling, and with a gentle blink, she shone as brightly as the spring sunshine in April.
Sushang!
At this moment, she stood tall and graceful, exuding an imposing presence.
Because she just broke through!
After refining the pure energy of the Great Cosmos Karmic Fire, he successfully broke through to the Indestructible Realm Fifth Stage!
On the Heavenly Ranking, her ranking even surpassed Xie Feng's!
Ziyun was stunned when Sushang arrived.
Lu Yinjian and glanced at her a couple more times, almost imperceptibly.
"Girl, thank goodness for you!" Gu Yuan rushed forward as if he had seen his savior.
"Wow, a beauty..." Ziyun's eyes lit up.
Gu Yuan used his burly frame to block Ziyun, then turned and warned, "From now on, you'd better shut up!"
Ziyun reluctantly shut her mouth.
Lu Yinjian stepped forward, looked at Sushang, and asked, "May I ask your name, young lady?"
" Sushang!"
" Sushang, I've remembered that. Aren't you going to ask my name, young lady?"
"Uh, who are you?"
" Lu Yinjian was named so because his birth attracted Heavenly Sword."
"There's such a story behind it? What a great name! Haha!"
Sushang smiled politely.
Lu Yinjian smiled and asked casually, "What are your hobbies, young lady?"
Gu Yuan frowned. "Hey Old Lu, is this some kind of small talk? You're clearly here for a blind date!"
Ziyun covered her mouth and said, "@*%‡*‡..."
Shuangyan asked, "What did he say?"
Huo Xiaoyan replied, "He said he also wants to go on blind dates!"
Gu Yuan: "Hey, show me some respect! I am the Evil Lord!"
The three of them, Shuangyan and his companions, restrained themselves slightly.
The enthusiastic crowd made Sushang a little flustered. She said, "You all chat, you all chat."
Lu Yinjian smiled and said, "I see that Lady Xiao Shang has a very strong soul force, and she should also have a high level of expertise in alchemy. Although this is our first meeting, I am the Devil Emperor's subordinate and partner."
"The young lady has a close relationship with the Devil Emperor, and we are not far removed from Devil Emperor either; in fact, we're practically friends. It's only proper to show some respect to friends!"
As he spoke, he took out a spatial ring. "Here is a Dao Grade Pill Furnace, a token of my appreciation. Lady Xiao Shang, please don't feel guilty. I have no ulterior motives. Please accept it!"
Sushang looked to Gu Yuan for help, but before Gu Yuan could speak, Shuangyan snatched the item and shoved it into Sushang's hand, whispering, "Ahem, little sister, our Realm Lord is extremely stingy. If we can get a Dao Grade Pill Furnace from him, we absolutely must have it!"
Sushang hesitated, "I..."
Before she could finish speaking, Ge Ya Ge Ya snatched the Dao Grade Pill Furnace from her hand, saying, "I'll keep it for you!"
Lu Yinjian: "..."
Gu Yuan felt resentful. "That ungrateful bastard! He hasn't seen me for three years, why hasn't he given me a gift?!"
Lu Yinjian smiled and said, "You know I'm generous. The gold and silver I gave you when we first met are more than you could ever spend in a lifetime, right?"
"I..." Gu Yuan was at a loss for words, then turned his head and said, "Let me tell you, this is Brother Xie's sister, his sworn sister!"
The implication is self-evident.
Lu Yinjian stood with his hands behind his back and smiled faintly.
Gu Yuan muttered under his breath, "I hate this kind of confident, nonchalant attitude. What's with the pretense? Brother Xie is much more refined and gentlemanly!"
"Really? Where is he? Gu Yuan, please introduce him."
He's cultivating!
"I believe that even while he was cultivating, he knew we were coming."
"You're so confident."
"Um!"
Lu Yinjian nodded readily in acknowledgment.
Gu Yuan: "..."
Main courtyard.
Xie Feng sat cross-legged under a maple tree, as the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves, turning the day into a sea of red and yellow.
He is still absorbing and transforming the energy of the Emperor Beginning Sword!
It's in the final stages!
With a slight ripple in the space, four people appeared ten steps in front of him.
