Although Yan Quan repaired his Dao root over the past twenty years and refined some of the strange marks from before, now, apart from Ming Shuling who can see people's souls and recognize him, others cannot recognize him based on the fluctuations of his magical power alone.
However, he dared not gamble, since he had already made a mistake in predicting that Ye Jinxuan would not come. Something significant must have happened that he had not anticipated.
However, no one can plan everything perfectly in life; if they could, they wouldn't be where they are now.
What are you afraid of? With me here, do you think she'll eat you alive?
Su Yao replied calmly via telepathy, while outwardly remaining quietly seated beside Yan Quan without making any move.
Yan Quan's mind was in complete turmoil. "Seriously, Lord Pavilion Master," he thought, "who sits so close to someone in front of so many people?"
Why is she always like this? She always wanted to use herself as a cushion, as if she were really a doll, including but not limited to leaning on him or sitting on him while doing official business.
Although Ming Shuling's anger was becoming increasingly difficult to conceal... that's not the point right now.
If his estimate is correct, Su Yao, Chu Ruoxue, and Long Caile are all at the early stage of the Heavenly Void Realm, while Ming Shuling is at the late stage of the Divine Transformation Realm, and Ye Jinxuan is already at the early stage of the Heavenly Touch Realm.
She was two whole realms higher than them, but Ye Jinxuan was only a hundred years older than them.
It seems that the combined effect of the Heavenly Demon Heart and Ye Jinxuan's monstrous talent is still too heaven-defying.
Someone like me, lacking talent, has only reached the late stage of the Heavenly Void Realm after so many years of cultivation, and then one miscalculation wiped it all out.
In his eyes, these women were all his juniors, weren't they?
Before, when I could forcefully suppress them with my cultivation, they were all so easy to talk to...
Is it possible for me to return to the late stage of the Heavenly Void Realm now?
Can one continue to the Mahayana Realm and the Heavenly Realm after that?
Reaching the Celestial Venerable Realm is when one truly stands at the pinnacle of this world.
But by then, these gifted monsters probably wouldn't even know what level of cultivation they'd reached.
That's ridiculous.
Ironically, he had no way back. He was determined to keep going, even if the opportunity to cultivate was obtained through opportunism, even if he was being used from the beginning... He was determined to prove himself, and he would avenge the loss of his cultivation!
With these thoughts in mind, he steeled himself and continued to ponder how to deal with the various situations that would follow.
[She's only at the early stage of the Heavenly Touch Realm. If she's discovered, do you have a backup plan?]
Seeing that Gong Yan ignored him and sat down on the other side, and had the exit of the tent blocked, Yan Quan, sensing a faint killing intent, then asked Su Yao telepathically.
[Don't worry, our Heavenly Mystery Pavilion has plenty of people at the Heavenly Touching Realm. As long as they're not at the Heavenly Venerable Realm, we have ways to deal with them.]
Su Yao replied calmly, "It's just that the methods used will come at a higher cost."
Don't make any decisions on your own later; I'll handle everything.
Yan Quan replied to Su Yao telepathically, then glanced at Ming Shuling and the other woman, indicating that they should remain calm.
"May I ask who this person is...?"
After a moment, Yan Quan broke the silence and spoke first.
"I have no interest in you outsiders, don't talk to me."
Gong Yan said coldly, and the pale-faced demonic cultivator next to her also looked over with a mocking expression.
"The things the Extraterrestrial Alliance has been up to lately have caused us heavy losses. If it weren't for orders from above, I would have refined you all right now!"
The white-faced demonic cultivator said fiercely, but Yan Quan and Su Yao completely ignored him.
However, Yan Quan found Gong Yan's sudden change in attitude rather amusing. After all, she was a member of the Demonic Sect, and the cultivation method of the Chain Sect influenced her personality, so she was destined not to have a good attitude towards people she didn't get along with.
"You dare?..."
"Cough cough cough..."
Yan Quan thought that the matter would be handled calmly, but Ming Shuling couldn't sit still any longer. She slammed her hand on the table and made a move to attack the demonic cultivator. Xie Xingxing, who was standing next to her, not only did not stop her, but also seemed to want to chop the demonic cultivator up.
So Yan Quan quickly coughed a few times as a reminder, but fortunately Ming Shuling eventually calmed down.
However, it's tough to have the right to speak out. If that's the case, what's the point of pretending? You'll be exposed in no time.
No, given their attitude, we can't waste time here. All plans must be accelerated.
"Uh... After these days of negotiations, we are willing to offer the projection stone of the Myriad Realms Ruler, as long as your sect releases the people. Please wait a moment, I will go back and get it."
After thinking for a while, Yan Quan abruptly stood up and said.
The plan has changed, and the situation is more complicated than I thought.
We need to speed things up. I'll go back and bring that thing over. I'll leave everything here to you for now.
At the same time, he also sent a telepathic message to Su Yao, offering some explanations before leaving his seat without waiting for her reply.
He walked outwards, and fortunately, Gong Yan seemed eager for him to leave, so she did not have the guards in demon armor stop him.
As Yan Quan approached the tent entrance and saw the faint light filtering in, he assumed he had successfully escaped. He glanced back at Su Yao and the others, considering several possible developments, but failed to notice the situation outside the tent.
"Get out of the way."
A cold voice came from behind, and Yan Quan quickly stopped in his tracks to avoid bumping into the red-clad girl with a golden hairpin that suddenly appeared in front of him.
With her stunningly beautiful face and icy expression, her red lips and small nose seemed to be perfectly sculpted. The girl was only half a head shorter than Yan Quan, but her aura was superb. Her red eyes were filled with disgust as she looked at Yan Quan, who quickly took a few steps back.
"Tsk."
The girl in red looked at her slightly wrinkled red dress with gold trim, and raised her hand slightly, about to use her magic to crush Yan Quan to death.
"Wait! Leader Ye, let him go. He's on my side. You promised me you'd protect us."
Hearing the voice behind her, the girl in red was slightly taken aback, but ultimately lowered her hand. After all, she hadn't actually been touched; otherwise, she would have attacked no matter what.
