Chapter 3196

Within Jun Xiaoyao knew.

Many times, when news spread, it had already been modified and beautified.

The true situation might be completely different from the news that spread.

And Bi Ran, obviously, could not know too much of the truth.

So, this was just the news on the surface.

"By the way, you said the main parties in the internal strife were the Heavenly Storm Divine Sparrow and the Fire Qilin clans."

"That son of the Fire Qilin Demon Emperor once had a marriage alliance with Empress Mu Xuan..."

Within Jun Xiaoyao noticed this point.

Bi Ran nodded, and thinking of the son of the Fire Qilin Demon Emperor, her eyes dimmed slightly.

After all, in the past, that was also the person she had favored.

However, as time passed, she no longer thought of some past events.

Within Jun Xiaoyao's expression was calm.

But in his heart, he was secretly thinking.

The son of the Fire Qilin Demon Emperor was poisoned to death by Mu Xuan during the marriage alliance, pierced through the heart with a sword.

How did it feel a bit like a familiar script?

Plus, he noticed that when Xiang Yang looked at Mu Xuan, his expression always seemed to have a trace of abnormality.

Others might not notice.

But Within Jun Xiaoyao's spiritual sense was so keen that he could detect changes in the slightest detail.

That kind of expression was not admiration, but hidden hatred.

Plus, he was also possessed by the Fluctuating Demon Star.

Then everything just happened to make sense.

"Is it another such cliché revenge plot?"

Within Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.

Now he could almost be certain.

That Xiang Yang, without surprise, was that son of the Fire Qilin Demon Emperor.

And his competing for the commander position was likely also to get closer to Mu Xuan to facilitate his revenge.

However, what Within Jun Xiaoyao cared about was not this.

During the Demon Alliance's internal strife, the Fire Qilin clan and the Heavenly Storm Divine Sparrow and other clans competed for the State-Protecting Seal.

Would that Xiang Yang, the former son of the Fire Qilin Demon Emperor, have any connection to the State-Protecting Seal?

Within Jun Xiaoyao's purpose in coming to the Tuoluo Demon Realm was to find the Tai Xuan treasures.

Now it seemed he had already touched upon the thread.

"That Xiang Yang, although he has hatred for Mu Xuan, seems to have complex emotions, and he also doesn't see eye to eye with me."

"Will he make a move against me?" Within Jun Xiaoyao thought of this point.

According to the cliché tropes of this kind of plot.

Xiang Yang said he was taking revenge on Mu Xuan, but in fact, he still harbored some complex emotions.

Later, it would be revenge on the Empress, his identity would be exposed, making Mu Xuan feel regret.

Then, using some inexplicable luck halo to reform Mu Xuan, whitewash her, and finally take her into his harem.

Finally, after possessing the State-Protecting Seal, the Fluctuating Demon Star, and other opportunities, he would unify the Demon Alliance again and become the master of the Demon Alliance.

This so-called trope is this trope.

But unfortunately, Within Jun Xiaoyao's arrival was destined to break this trope.

After the banquet.

Bi Ran arranged a place for Within Jun Xiaoyao to stay, not too far from Mu Xuan's sleeping quarters.

On the other side.

Inside Xiang Yang's residence.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, and an isolation array had long been raised around him to shield him from external perception.

At the same time, many materials were placed around him, all exuding strange and profound fluctuations.

Xiang Yang's expression carried a trace of coldness.

"Yu Xiaoyao, originally this Fire Qilin Demon Gu Curse was meant to be left for Mu Xuan."

"But now, let's use you to test the waters first."

The Fire Qilin Demon Gu Curse was a terrifying curse technique of the former Fire Qilin clan.

If set up and cast by a powerhouse, even a titan among Emperors would suffer a calamity if struck.

The current Xiang Yang naturally couldn't do anything that powerful.

But at his current level, dealing with a Quasi-Emperor was absolutely no problem.

Even if he couldn't directly destroy that Quasi-Emperor's primordial spirit.

It was enough to cause him heavy damage, or even cut off his path of cultivation.

In this way, in Xiang Yang's eyes, Within Jun Xiaoyao would never be able to serve as Mu Xuan's personal bodyguard again.

As for the materials to set up the Fire Qilin Demon Gu Curse.

They were all in the jade pendant left to him by the Fire Qilin Demon Emperor.

Xiang Yang began to work, finally setting up a small altar.

He took out one more thing.

"Finally, just drip the Qilin blood," Xiang Yang muttered.

As a curse secret technique of the Fire Qilin clan, the most important thing was the Qilin blood.

Even in the jade pendant, there wasn't much Qilin blood.

These were originally things Xiang Yang wanted to save for his future cultivation.

But now, he wanted to erase Within Jun Xiaoyao, this eyesore.

After the Qilin blood dripped into the altar.

An inexplicable and strange terrifying power was permeating.

However, because of the isolation array, it wouldn't leak out.

And just as Xiang Yang was casting the curse secret technique on his side.

On the other side, inside the palace where Within Jun Xiaoyao was staying.

Within Jun Xiaoyao, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, quietly meditating and adjusting his breath.

Suddenly felt something.

In his primordial spirit's sea of consciousness, inexplicable surging flames emerged.

Like a sea of hellfire, wanting to burn his primordial spirit.

At the same time, a Qilin wreathed in demonic flames emerged, as if wanting to burn Within Jun Xiaoyao's primordial spirit to ashes.

"This kind of method?"

Sensing the situation, Within Jun Xiaoyao wanted to laugh a little.

This Xiang Yang was truly stupid to the point of being laughable.

Wanting to rely on a soul curse secret technique to destroy his primordial spirit.

It was simply wishful thinking.

However, it had to be said.

If it were an ordinary Quasi-Emperor, facing this level of soul curse.

Even if they didn't die, their primordial spirit would definitely be heavily damaged, affecting their path of cultivation.

But for the Three-Life Primordial Spirit, which possessed the mid-stage Void Tribulation level.

What kind of trash was this?

Let alone it being cast by Xiang Yang.

Even if his father, the Fire Qilin Demon Emperor, cast this curse secret technique to destroy Within Jun Xiaoyao's primordial spirit, it would still be a fantasy.

However, since Xiang Yang had made a move.

Then Within Jun Xiaoyao had to return the favor.

"To receive without returning is not polite."

Within Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.

The Three-Life Primordial Spirit, holding the Sword of the Soul, was vast and peerless!

It was precisely one of the Three-Life God-Slaying Swords, the Past-Life Reincarnation Sword!

With one sword strike, it not only directly destroyed the demonic flame Qilin but also struck directly at the source of the curse in the dark void!

Within Jun Xiaoyao's display of this move had quite a bit of power, and he didn't deliberately hide anything.

The palace where he was staying was rumbling.

And the place where he was located was not far from the palaces of Mu Xuan and the others.

So naturally, it alarmed quite a few people.

At the same time.

On Xiang Yang's side.

His complexion carried a trace of paleness.

Such a curse secret technique, with his current cultivation, was not easy to cast.

"Although it consumed many materials and mental effort, as long as I can erase that Yu Xiaoyao, it is worth it..."

However, before a smile could appear on Xiang Yang's lips.

He seemed to sense some great terror.

His complexion, which had only been slightly pale, instantly turned as pale as paper!

"Fluctuating Demon Star!"

Xiang Yang hurriedly urged the power of the Fluctuating Demon Star to protect his primordial spirit.

However, he felt that in the dark void, an unimaginably vast sword energy seemed to be striking from the reincarnation of the past life!

That fluctuation was too terrifying!

"What is this?"

Xiang Yang's expression changed suddenly.

The next moment, he gave a muffled groan, his brow split open, and blood seeped out.

His whole person collapsed to the ground, in boundless pain, his primordial spirit vibrating violently, and cracks seemed to appear on the surface.

"How could it be like this..."

Xiang Yang pressed his own head.

A burst of panic, extremely disheveled.

He breathed deeply, unable to believe it.

Those who didn't know would think he was cursing himself.

If not for the Fluctuating Demon Star protecting his primordial spirit.

He would probably be thoroughly dead by now!

That feeling of being on the verge of death seemed to be a reappearance of the scenes of the past.

This was the second time he had experienced this feeling.

"Yu Xiaoyao... what is his background?"

Xiang Yang's brow split open, blood winding down, making his whole face stained with blood, appearing as ferocious as a ghost.

This time, the person most deeply injured by the curse was actually himself.

It was simply zero damage to the enemy and a thousand self-inflicted.
