Chapter 53: Fire Lotus Changes Owner
“This desire…

Is this the rare treasure of heaven and earth - Fire Lotus?"

At the place where the wedding procession of Marquis Fu'an's Mansion was taking place, a woman in white suddenly appeared, looking at the fire lotus in the air and muttered to herself.

At this time, Cui Shuyun also looked at Huo Lian with her beautiful eyes.

Cui Shuyun did so much, but her goal was still the Fire Lotus.

Because only by obtaining the Fire Lotus can Cui Shuyun be qualified to negotiate terms with Fu'an Hou Zhu Chengwu.

People are all selfish.

In order to get the chance to control the Fire Lotus and her own destiny, Cui Shuyun also began to learn how to calculate.

He plotted against the wedding procession of Marquis Fu'an's Mansion and against his second sister-in-law Ai Jingxia.

As people go through more and more complex experiences, they become more and more complicated, and as they grow, they become more profound.

This is unhappy!

But it is inevitable for everyone!
It was the first time that Cui Shuyun got out of the wedding car without anyone's help.

In the wedding car, Xiaowei was so absorbed in the desire evoked by the fire lotus that she didn't even notice Cui Shuyun leaving.

Although Cui Shuyun also had a huge desire to make up for her own shortcomings in her heart, she came back to her senses much faster than everyone else because she was well prepared.

Before, Cui Shuyun had not taken any action because she knew that the time was not right.

When the wedding procession was blocked by a huge rock, Cui Shuyun had been closely following the development of the situation and waiting for an opportunity.

Now, the opportunity Cui Shuyun has been waiting for has finally arrived.

Cui Shuyun was seen using her out-of-body realm spiritual cultivation to the utmost, trying her best to make others ignore her and go in the direction of the fire lotus without attracting other people's attention.

Just as Cui Shuyun was taking action, the fire lotus thrown by Gao Yao finally fell from mid-air.

It was taken away by a nearby guard from the Marquis's Mansion.

At this time, the tall and thin man with a black scarf and mask also suppressed the desire in his heart and began to attack in the direction of the fire lotus.

Even if one does not suppress the desire in one's heart, the direction of the desire will still be the location of the fire lotus.

But the more skilled one is, the less he can tolerate being controlled by desire.

Therefore, the tall and thin man would suppress his desire first and then seize the fire lotus.

The tall and thin man's actions pushed the emotions of everyone present to another peak.

The guard of the Marquis' Mansion who got the Fire Lotus was a loyal one.

Seeing the tall and thin man rushing towards him, he knew he couldn't keep the Fire Lotus, so he threw it directly to Dai Fayan.

"Protect the Fire Lotus!"

Dai Fayan shouted loudly after receiving the fire lotus.

"kill him!"

"Stop him!"

"The Fire Lotus is mine!"

……

Various sounds of fighting and scolding became the main theme of the scene.

However, how could the people in the marquis' mansion, who were in chaos and not arranged in a battle formation, be a match for a first-class master?

What's more, there were some not-so-loyal guards in the Marquis' Mansion who did not put in much effort and focused most of their attention on Dai Fayan who was holding the fire lotus.

He intended to take advantage of the chaos and seize the Fire Lotus.

Bang~
Bang bang~~
One after another, the people in the marquis' mansion were knocked down and repelled by the tall and thin man.

However, there were too many people in Fu'an Marquis' Mansion.

Even if there are some sneaky people who have some thoughts...

But the remaining loyal ones alone are enough to cause trouble for the tall and thin man!

Especially in a situation where the tall, thin man can't kill.

One of the guards from Marquis Fu'an's mansion fell down, and another one immediately stood up.

As soon as one person was repelled, the one behind him would immediately take his place.

One after another...

Because they cannot kill people, many times the masked men cannot even use heavy hands, for fear of an accident where someone would die!
This made it difficult for the masked man to completely deprive the guards of their combat effectiveness.

"Sister Yao, you still can't kill people?

If I don’t kill someone, I won’t be able to control the situation!”

The tall and thin man finally couldn't stand the situation anymore and shouted to the woman in white who showed up.

“You can’t kill people!
This is an iron rule! ! "

The woman in white also saw the situation at the scene, but she really didn't want to break the iron rule of the clan!

“Ha~~!”

Just as the tall and thin man and the people from the Marquis' Mansion led by Dai Fayan were fighting.

Suddenly, a loud shout that resounded through the sky was heard in front of the stone forest not far away.

However, it was Zhao Xinghan who, relying on the greatly increased power of his "Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique", finally broke through the trap set up by the person hiding in the stone forest.

After escaping from the trap, Zhao Xinghan, gasping for air and bleeding from his mouth, looked around.

Especially outside the stone forest, there are some small stones around the leading team of the wedding procession.

“It turns out that a small hidden formation was set up around us!
You are just an ordinary Yin God.

However, although these small formations are hidden, their power is also affected!
Otherwise, I might not be able to break out of the formation!

Now, the formation has been broken, the Taoist magic has been broken, and the backlash has come!

Do you still want to resist?"

Zhao Xinghan took a deep breath, turned his head to look at the stone forest not far away, and said solemnly.

However, there was no sound in the stone forest and no one answered.

Zhao Xinghan did not choose to enter the stone forest and attack the people hiding in the stone forest!

Instead, he turned to look at the woman in white and the masked man, and chose to support the place where Huo Lian was as soon as possible.

Protecting the Fire Lotus is Zhao Xinghan’s first choice.

Moreover, according to theory, once the magic is broken, the caster will be injured by the backlash and his combat power will be greatly reduced.

But Shilin is a soul refining formation after all, and it is a complete soul refining formation, not a bankrupt version whose power is greatly reduced for the sake of concealment.

Zhao Xinghan is not so stupid as to go deep into the formation and fight with the spirit cultivator!
"Xia's formation was broken?"

He saw Zhao Xinghan appear and rush towards where he was.

The woman in white and the tall and thin man were both startled.

After fighting for so long, they were exhausted.

There are so many people from Fu'an Marquis Mansion here.

Once another expert of the same level comes to hold him back...

Even if the woman in white and the tall and thin man were a joint operation of spiritual cultivators and warriors, it would still be very dangerous and they would no longer be sure of winning!
毕竟1+1只能大于2，而不能大于20、200……

"Sister Yao, can't you kill someone?"

The tall and thin man repeated the question again.

"You can't kill anyone. Try one last time. Regardless of whether you get the Fire Lotus or not, you must leave immediately after that!"

The woman in white replied.

Not killing people is the bottom line of the woman in white.

"it is good!"

The tall, thin man said no more and was no longer reserved.

All his power surged, and he directly repelled the people around him, then rushed towards Dai Fayan who was holding the fire lotus.

"for you!"

Dai Fayan knew that he had no ability to protect the Fire Lotus, and it would be difficult for him to hold on until Zhao Xinghan arrived.

After looking around, he threw the fire lotus directly to the second elder of the Cui family who was standing beside him.

"Catch it!"

Dai Fayan shouted to the second elder of the Cui family.

Passing the flower while beating the drum is the best way for Dai Fayan to keep the fire lotus at the moment.

The reason why the second elder of the Cui family was chosen instead of the guards of the Marquis' Mansion was because many of the guards of the Marquis' Mansion at the scene were aroused by the fire lotus, a rare treasure in the world.

Dai Fayan couldn't tell who was truly loyal and who couldn't suppress his desire because of Huo Lian.

Dai Fayan’s first choice in his mind now is Su Xiangqi.

Only Su Xiangqi can gain Dai Fayan's 100% trust.

Unfortunately, the scene was too chaotic and Dai Fayan couldn't find Su Xiangqi for a while.

At this moment, the second elder of the Cui family came into Dai Fayan's sight.

The second elder of the Cui family was the first person to discover the fire lotus.

It was he who brought the Fire Lotus back to Cui's.

Who can best withstand the desire induced by the fire lotus?
The second elder of the Cui family is definitely the best choice.

Moreover, the second elder of the Cui family and Dai Fayan had fought side by side.

Dai Fayan believed that the second elder of the Cui family was a capable and rational person, and would not cause any trouble because of the fire lotus that had been sent by the Cui family.

"what!

Looking for death! "

The masked man who had just rushed to within three steps of Dai Fayan was almost going crazy.

Isn't this just taking him for a walk?
Although he was very angry and wanted to kill everyone present, Sister Yao was still watching!
The tall and thin man turned his head to look at the location of the woman in white, and finally chose to let Dai Fayan go.

He turned around and rushed directly towards the fire lotus thrown by Dai Fayan.

However, the guards of the Marquis' Mansion are not just eating and not working.

Countless loyal guards took action and stood in front of the tall and thin man regardless of their lives.

Of course, whether or not the reason why the tall and thin man was discovered and not killed, and whether or not the reason why the guards were right under Zhao Xinghan's nose after Zhao Xinghan escaped, is a matter of opinion.

Even Dai Fayan, after throwing out the fire lotus, secretly took action, using his limited spiritual power to secretly hinder the tall and thin man.

Faced with the increasingly brave and radical guards of Fu'an Marquis' Mansion, the tall and thin man was extremely annoyed.

This is the negative effect of letting the opponent realize that you will not kill people, and the opponent leading the escape.

Courage, morale...

It is always indispensable in battle and can determine the outcome to a certain extent.

But even these people still couldn't stop the tall and thin man.

The gap in strength will not disappear because of courage or morale.

bang~
Bang bang~~
Countless guards were knocked away.

But their obstruction is valuable!

Because of their obstruction, the fire lotus thrown by Dai Fayan was successfully caught by the second elder of the Cui family.

The Second Elder was almost stunned when he looked at the fire lotus in his hand!
Now that the Fire Lotus has been exposed, the enemy who wants to snatch it is right in front of us. The Second Elder does not want this hot potato.

The reason why the Second Elder appeared not far from Dai Fayan was not to snatch the Fire Lotus nor to fight desperately, but just to show his attitude so that the people in Fu'an Marquis Mansion would not think that he was slacking off and not helping Fu'an Marquis Mansion.

After all, the Second Elder and Zhu Chengwu still have a secret agreement!
Fire Lotus, the Second Elder revealed it to Zhu Chengwu!
He also secretly helped persuade Cui Zongji to hand over the Fire Lotus!
But the Second Elder hasn’t received the reward yet!
“Run…fast…”

Looking at the second elder of the Cui family who seemed to be stunned, and the tall and thin man who kept approaching him.

Dai Fayan was almost going crazy!
Is the second elder of the Cui family so stupid?
In this situation, is it time to be absent-minded?

Run!
Now, the only option to save the Fire Lotus is to get away from the tall and thin man as soon as possible.

It’s a pity that in his moment of anger, Dai Fayan, who was exhausted, made a very soft sound.

Drowned in the fierce battle noise at the scene...

"Run!"

Finally, Dai Fayan, who had taken a breath, let out a deafening shout.

The Fire Lotus was thrown by Dai Fayan to the "outsider" the second elder of the Cui family.

Once the Fire Lotus was lost in the hands of the Second Elder, Dai Fayan would be implicated to some extent.

Dai Fayan didn't want to lose the Fire Lotus in the hands of the Second Elder.

wrong!

No matter who holds the Fire Lotus, Dai Fayan doesn't want to lose it!

What's more, Zhao Xinghan has escaped and is on his way.

The Marquis's hope of keeping Huo Lian increased greatly.

However, Dai Fayan's reminder was too late!

The tall and thin man was already very close to the second elder.

With the tall and thin man's strength and agility, it was too late for the second elder of the Cui family to run away when he came to his senses.

It was not that the Second Elder was stunned, but that the treasure that he had lost and recovered, the treasure that he had been looking for for a long time but never had the chance to see again, now fell into his hands. The Second Elder was shocked and his desire was aroused by the fire lotus.

But after all, he was a talented person of the Cui family who had once come into contact with the Fire Lotus.

The Second Elder knew that he could not keep the Fire Lotus, and that a secret deal with Zhu Chengwu had already been reached. The reward Zhu Chengwu promised was also very attractive to the Second Elder.

The second elder quickly came to his senses after hearing Dai Fayan's shout.

Looking at the masked man in front of him, the second elder, who couldn't run away, had to think about it and could only choose to "pass the flower" again!
"here!"

Just then, a clear cry suddenly came from not far away.

The bright red wedding dress attracted most of the attention of everyone present.

The Second Elder naturally saw it as well.

The second elder's eyes fixed and he threw the fire lotus directly at Cui Shuyun.

Then he rushed towards the tall and thin man with the shield and sword in his hand.

Majestic and fearless of death!
wrong!

Perhaps it was because he knew that the tall and thin man would not kill anyone and would not die, that the Second Elder could be so majestic and fearless of death!
After all, he still has to live to get the reward that Zhu Chengwu promised!
"court death!"

However, the second elder was wrong!

After being led astray repeatedly, the tall and thin man's patience and endurance had already reached its limit.

At the same time, in order to save time and get the fire lotus before Zhao Xinghan arrives, the tall and thin man used unprecedented heavy hands this time!
Bang~~

puff…

Face to face.

The second elder felt as if he was run over by a rolling rock.

The shield in his hand shattered on the spot.

The whole person was knocked back more than ten meters.

An old man was seriously injured, I don’t know if he can stand up again...

However, the second elder was seriously injured!
But the action of force is relative.

What's more, the Second Elder's strength is not low. Although he is not first-rate, he can barely be regarded as the first echelon among the top masters.

If he hadn't been old when he brought back the Fire Lotus.

It’s too late to achieve success!
With Cui's wealth and resources, the second elder may be able to achieve great success.

After unleashing all his strength to shatter the shield and knock the second elder flying, even someone as strong as the tall and thin man had to take two steps back to relieve the impact of the collision.

As the tall and thin man stopped, the momentum was relieved.

At this time, the loyal guards of the Marquis' Mansion surrounded them again.

Especially between the tall and thin man and Cui Shuyun...

There are even more people!

Not only did he guard the rare treasures of heaven and earth, he also protected the future wife of the Marquis's Mansion.

What a credit!
It is unacceptable not to calculate it with great merit!

Someone is loyal!
Someone wants the Fire Lotus!

But there are also those who have regained their senses, who want the credit, and who want the carrot that Zhu Chengwu is dangling in front of everyone in Fu'an Marquis Mansion - the Book of Divine Power.

Compared to the rare treasures in the world, which are only available in one copy, it is difficult to get and difficult to keep once you get them.

The rational people in the Marquis' Mansion want great merits and magical books more.

For them, that is the real benefit they can get.

The second elder threw the fire lotus very accurately and directly in front of Cui Shuyun.

Cui Shuyun stretched out her hand lightly and grasped the fire lotus flying in the air.

"Is this the Fire Lotus?"

Cui Shuyun felt and stroked the fire lotus in her hand, with obsession appearing in her eyes.

The temptation and desire that the fire lotus could make up for the flaws that one is born with is stronger for Cui Shuyun than for most other people.

Because Cui Shuyun's soul was damaged, and the rare treasures of heaven and earth can make up for the damaged soul...

Because Cui Shuyun chose the sun as the object of visualization for her spiritual cultivation, which is also of the fire element and is compatible with the fire lotus...

However, Cui Shuyun knew that this fire lotus did not belong to her, and it was not something she could covet!

If Huo Lian encounters an accident, she will not be able to escape the pursuit of Fu'an Marquis Mansion...

And parents, brothers and sisters-in-law...

The Fire Lotus can only be used as an item to negotiate with Marquis Fu'an!
Can't use it for other purposes!

Thinking of this, Cui Shuyun suppressed the desire in her heart with great willpower.

Cui Shuyun placed the fire lotus in her palm and clasped her hands together like Gao Yao!

Traps the fire lotus in both hands.

Finally, the fire lotus gradually shrank as Cui Shuyun's hands approached...

Until it was held by Cui Shuyun's slender hands without leaving any gap.

As the Fire Lotus was cut off from the outside world once again, the huge desire to make up for the shortcomings at the scene lost its source and began to gradually disappear.

More people are beginning to regain their rationality that was suppressed by desires!

"amazing!

It is indeed a legendary treasure of heaven and earth~"

Feeling the fire lotus gradually shrinking in her hand, Cui Shuyun expressed sincere admiration in her heart.
