Chapter 236: Charm of the Heavenly Fox

Wu Yan sat upright, closed his eyes and seemed to be afraid that Hu Ruyan was talking to him. Hu Ruyan smiled slightly and said, "Yu Ling Daoyou, I am very curious. I heard that you were originally a cultivator of the Xiuzhen Sect. You must have practiced the immortal way. Why did I see you yesterday and it seemed that you used the magic way? Can you tell me about it so that I can broaden my horizons?"

"No." Wu Yan didn't even raise his eyelids and simply refused directly.

"Why are you so stingy as a grown man? Tell me?" Hu Ruyan said coquettishly.

"Hahaha! Ruyan, which grown man is stingy and makes you like this?" Zhu Junhao laughed outside the palace door, and then a flash of inspiration came, and three figures walked in.

Zhu Junhao entered the hall and walked straight to the main seat of the long table. Behind him were two people. One was Yuan Honglie, whom Wu Yan had met several times, and the other was an ordinary old man who was unfamiliar to him. He looked honest and simple. At first glance, it was hard to associate him with a cultivator.

The two walked to the left and right sides of the long table and sat down near Zhu Junhao.

Zhu Junhao said to Wu Yan: "Daoyou Yuling, let me introduce you. This is my father's close follower, Uncle Fu Zhu Jiufu. Uncle Fu is my most trusted and close elder. This time he will also participate in the battle assessment with me."

Wu Yan had opened his eyes when the three people came in. He immediately bowed to the simple and honest old man and said: "I am Yuling Poison Master. Daoyou Zhu is polite."

"Daoyou Yuling, nice to meet you." The simple and honest old man also bowed and smiled.

"What were you talking about just now? It seems like you are talking about something interesting." Zhu Junhao looked at Hu Ruyan with a playful look.

Wu Yan was afraid that this seductive woman would say something embarrassing, so he said immediately: "Nothing, Miss Ruyan is just very interested in my skills, and just asked casually."

Zhu Junhao's eyes suddenly became stern, and he glanced at Wu Yan and Hu Ruyan, then laughed and sat down, saying: "So that's it, Taoist Yu Ling, Zhu is actually very curious about your skills, and asked Ruyan if she could see your origin, right, Ruyan?"

Hu Ruyan smiled coquettishly, nodded, but did not say anything. Wu Yan was wearing a ghost mask, so no one could see his expression change, so they couldn't guess what he was thinking at the moment.

Wu Yan smiled and said, "It's just a trivial skill, so why bother to mention it? Master Zhu, I wonder what you want to discuss with me?"

Hearing Wu Yan's words, Zhu Junhao immediately calmed down and said with a serious expression, "I invited Daoist Fellow Yuling and you guys to come here because I do have something important to discuss. This matter is related to the battle assessment. However, Daoist Fellow Yuling may not know much about Zhu's opponent Bai Peng. Old Yuan, please tell Daoist Fellow Wu about the situation on Bai Peng's side."

Hearing this, Wu Yan wanted to reach out to stop him and tell Zhu Junhao that he had learned about Bai Peng and others from Zhu Junyu, but after thinking about it, he just nodded and said, "That's great."

Yuan Honglie immediately told Wu Yan about the assessment and the strength of Bai Peng's side. The general content was similar to what Zhu Junyu said, but there was one thing that surprised Wu Yan, and he immediately fell into deep thought.

When Yuan Honglie mentioned Bai Peng, he gave a very vague introduction to his background, only saying that he was the son of a deputy commander of the Demon Palace, but he did not mention his grandfather who was a great elder of the Demon Sect.

Wu Yan had doubts in his heart, but he did not express anything. After listening, he responded calmly, telling everyone that he understood.

Zhu Junhao looked at Wu Yan with a flickering look in his eyes. Seeing him like this, he showed a faint smile, but after a moment, his face became solemn again, and he said: "Now things are a bit troublesome. Zhu originally expected that since Zhi Huyang had been transferred to Zhenxie Valley by Bai Moshuai, he would definitely not be able to participate in this battle assessment. Unexpectedly, this morning Zhu received a secret report saying that Zhi Huyang returned to Bai Mansion in Jialou City late last night. This person is witty and cunning, with many tricks, and his skills of hiding his form and breath are unpredictable. If he assists Bai Peng from the side, our chances of winning will be greatly reduced. Everyone, what do you think about this?"

The four people here are now all assistants who will fight with Zhu Junhao. Everyone is in the same camp, so naturally they have to conspire and discuss together to solve such things.

Wu Yan did not speak, but just glanced at the other three. Hu Ruyan sneered and said with gritted teeth: "I was worried that I couldn't find this traitor, but I didn't expect him to come to my door. Sir, why should you be afraid of this man? I will capture this old thief at all costs!"

This little princess of the Sky Fox Clan has always been attached to Zhu Junhao. I think she came for this man. Thinking of the warning of the Greedy Wolf King, Wu Yan's heart trembled, and he secretly said, let these two wise foxes of the Sky Fox Clan fight to see who has more powerful means.

"Hahaha, good, Ruyan has been unwilling to show her talents since she joined my Zhu Mansion. Now that she has seen this Sky Fox Clan traitor, she is finally going to show her skills. Zhu is really looking forward to it. Ruyan, I wonder if you have thought of any tricks to deal with this person?" Zhu Junhao said happily.

"Sir, what talent do I have? I am just a stupid girl. This old thief Hu Yang stole the holy artifact of our clan and fled to Lingbei decades ago, committing a treasonous crime. Our clan has sent several elders to catch him, but all of them returned in vain. As a princess of our clan, I naturally have the responsibility to catch this old thief and bring him to Lingnan to accept the punishment of the holy spirit of our clan. This time, I have to rely on you and fellow Taoists to help me, a weak woman, capture this old thief. I would like to thank you and fellow Taoists in advance!" Hu Ruyan flashed a pair of watery fox eyes, her eyes were red, and she was about to cry. She looked pitiful, which made the four men present stare at the same time. They couldn't help but want to comfort her, patting her chest and saying loudly that they would protect her from harm. Even the simple and honest Zhu Jiufu seemed to show a trace of compassion at this moment.

Wu Yan exhaled, turned his face to the side in a hurry, and thought to himself, what a powerful charm technique, just now he almost blurted out the words that he would go all out and do his best.

"Ruyan, don't worry, Zhu will definitely help you catch this old thief!" Zhu Junhao moved forward and grabbed Hu Ruyan's delicate and slender hands, but Hu Ruyan turned around sadly and took the opportunity to avoid it, but continued to say sadly: "Thank you, sir, I am not blessed. If I can fulfill this wish, I will naturally have no worries about other things."

Zhu Junhao sat back awkwardly, put his hands on the table, knocked without rhythm, and laughed dryly: "Well, okay, okay, Zhu will definitely let you get what you want, Ruyan."

After Hu Ruyan's disturbance, the atmosphere in the meeting hall became a little subtle. Everyone sat down again, and it seemed that they had their own thoughts, and they were all a little embarrassed about what to say.

Wu Yan glanced at Hu Ruyan and saw that although this woman had put away her coquettish look, she seemed to be really moved just now. Now she still looked a little tender. She was indeed born with a charming body and I felt pity for her. After thinking for a while, Wu Yan suddenly said: "Mr. Zhu, will Bai Peng plot to assassinate us who are going to participate in the battle assessment before the battle assessment?"

Zhu Junhao's face was suddenly startled, and his expression immediately became gloomy. He said: "Daoyou Yuling's worry is indeed very likely to happen. This is also what I have been thinking about repeatedly in the past few days. Daoyou's poison technique is amazing, and his magical skills are unique. It is indeed the key to whether Zhu can win this battle. Therefore, Zhu has an unwelcome request. I also hope that Daoyou Yuling will stay in Zhu Mansion for the time being and don't go out. If Daoyou has any needs, just ask, and Zhu will do his best to meet them."

The other three people also showed deep thoughts when they heard this. After a moment, the three of them looked at Wu Yan involuntarily and nodded secretly.

Everyone knew the situation in the Devil Valley. In the Devil Valley, because the valley was all iron soil, it was said that the mountain of fine iron contained extremely strong magnetic force, so that the entire Devil Valley was affected by this magnetic force, and neither the immortal cultivators nor the demon cultivators could fly away. What's worse, because the valley was shrouded in ghost fog and magic energy, the consciousness was also greatly affected.

In the valley, although the mana was not affected, under the circumstances of being unable to fly away and the consciousness being greatly affected, the poison magic skills became extremely important.

Bai Peng had two people under his command, one was the Poison Venerable and the other was the Insect Demon. One of them was good at poison and the other was good at driving the magic insects. These two were both unaffected fighting methods. Before the battle, Bai Peng's side had already taken the lead. If Wu Yan had not come this time, Zhu Junhao might have given up and admitted defeat before the battle.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhu, I know what I am doing and will never give them a chance." Wu Yan nodded.

After talking about this, everyone discussed some precautions for entering the Devil Valley and some detailed deployment arrangements. Time had passed unknowingly for several hours.

After the discussion, Zhu Junhao stood up and said: "The battle is imminent. Zhu hopes that everyone can go all out this time and strive to win. However, in order to prevent everyone from being too nervous, Zhu will hold a banquet in the mansion tonight, and everyone can relax at that time. At the dinner, the 300 demon soldiers who took the initiative to sign up will also be present. Zhu hopes that they can get in touch with you first, so that they can better control and command when they fight."

Everyone agreed, and then said goodbye and left. Zhu Junhao left Wu Yan alone, took out two storage bags, smiled and handed them to Wu Yan, saying: "Brother Wu, here are the things that Zhu promised before, please check them."

Wu Yan did not delay, and immediately took it in his hand, opened the bag, and invaded the storage bag with his spiritual consciousness. He checked it once, and a trace of excitement and satisfaction appeared in his eyes.
