The Xuanyuan Jiao in front of him was dressed in a mysterious Taoist robe, with a tall and straight figure, making it difficult to tell his age.

Just looking at his temperament, he looked slightly bright and noble, not like a top-notch evil cultivator.

But the strange thing is that he wears a demon mask, and the fangs on the mask are vivid and real, making it very easy for people to be intimidated by it.

It's not that Shen Niannian is afraid of this mask, she's not that timid.

Mainly... the familiar feeling that Xuanyuan Jiao brought to her.

It's so familiar...the more I look at it, the more familiar it becomes.

She actually had the illusion for a moment that she had seen him and even interacted with him.

"Mrs. Hou is looking for me late at night, why?" Xuanyuan Jiao's voice was deep. Listening to this voice, he seemed to be in his thirties, but he didn't look old.

As soon as Lu Yaoqin saw him, she said hurriedly: "Master Immortal, why has my husband not improved in the past two days, but instead become weaker and weaker?"

This question made Xuanyuan Jiao silent for a moment.

His eyes looked through the mask, exuding a dangerous aura.

Lu Yaoqin met his gaze and subconsciously took a step back: "Master Immortal, you..."

Before she could finish her words, Xuanyuan Jiao said in a deep voice: "Is Mrs. Hou looking for me for entertainment? Lord Hou's life lamp is bright, but on the contrary... the monster's life lamp is flickering. This matter is absolutely impossible." Nothing could go wrong.”

Xuanyuan Jiao said firmly, his eyes kept exploring Lu Yaoqin's face.

But Lu Yaoqin still looked anxious. At this time, in her anxiety, there was even more surprise and confusion.

"My husband has indeed been getting worse these past two days. He was fine a few days ago, but suddenly fell ill again for some reason." She said, "Tonight, he even vomited blood! But the monster... he was still fine. Life is very tough!"

"Master Immortal, please go see my husband. He is my life, nothing can happen to him!"

As he said this, Lu Yaoqin's eyes suddenly turned red.

Shen Niannian couldn't help but be completely surprised.

If she hadn't known the inside story, she would have thought that the woman in front of her was really Lu Yaoqin herself.

In fact, during the layout, Wei Xi was worried that Lu Yaoqin would be harmed and asked her to hide in the house and rest.

And his proposal coincided with Zhao Yuan's idea.

Therefore, the 'Lu Yaoqin' in front of her is none other than Zhao Yuan.

Xuanyuan Jiao was silent for a long time after hearing this.

I don't know what he was thinking. After a while, he nodded slightly.

"Forget it, just take a look." He said, immediately following Zhao Yuan towards the inner courtyard.

The two passed through the rockery and were about to go around the garden.

At this time, Xuanyuan Jiao suddenly struck Zhao Yuan with one hand.

Fortunately, Zhao Yuan was on guard and avoided his palm in an instant.

But during this dodge, he also exposed his identity.

Xuanyuan Jiao stood there and sneered: "Sure enough, it was Lu Yaoqin who violated the deal between me and her."

"How did you see it?" Zhao Yuan thought he had no flaws.

"Eye." Xuanyuan Jiao smiled lightly: "The look in Lu Yaoqin's eyes when he mentioned that monster has never been so calm."

Every time Lu Yaoqin mentioned Lu Wenyan, she felt disgust and hatred.

That kind of hatred can't be disguised casually, it comes from the bottom of one's bones, and one can't wait to eat his flesh.

Zhaoyuan was slightly surprised when he heard this. He knew Lu Wenyan's identity, but he didn't expect that Lu Yaoqin would hate Lu Wenyan so much.

Sighing, he said: "Forget it, Japan will have a fierce fight with you today, sooner or later."

As he spoke, a long sword was unsheathed from behind him. He held the long sword in his hand, and a gust of cold wind blew by, ruffling the ends of his hair and the hem of his clothes.

Xuanyuan Jiao's eyes fell on the long sword, and his eyes paused slightly, but just for a moment, the spiritual power in his body surged and he headed towards Chaoyuan.

The two soon started fighting, and Shen Niannian stood aside to watch the fight, while also learning the moves of the two.

Although Zhaoyuan practiced puppetry, it could be seen that he spent more time practicing swordsmanship than puppetry.

His swordsmanship is fierce and contains the Eight Diagrams Formation.

Shen Niannian remembered some of the plots in the original book, and among the moves in sword cultivation, only the Penglai Sect's Bagua Nine Yang Sword seemed to match what he saw before him.

Zhao Yuan...is a member of the Penglai Sect?
So Xuanyuan Jiao paused subconsciously just now, was it because he recognized Penglai Sect's sword, or simply because he recognized Zhao Yuan's fairy sword?
Shen Niannian's thoughts began to stir again. And before you know it, the night has passed and the day has arrived.

Zhao Yuan and Xuanyuan Jiao seemed to be equally matched in strength.

Both of them were quite surprised at each other's realm, but Shen Niannian's current cultivation level was limited. She was so far above hers that she couldn't get a glimpse of his true power.

Time passed bit by bit, and Xuanyuan Jiao seemed to be fighting extremely hard. Until dusk fell, the two still couldn't tell the winner.

And this corner of the Anyang Marquis Mansion has been covered by a barrier for a long time. In addition, according to Wei Xi's orders, no one will set foot here.

Shen Niannian learned many moves from it. Suddenly, she discovered that although Xuanyuan Jiao had no sword in his hand and was deliberately hiding it, he still inadvertently revealed his usual sword-wielding posture.

Not only Shen Niannian noticed this, but Zhao Yuan also discovered it.

"What are you hiding?"

Zhaoyuan asked suspiciously: "Could it be that you are also a well-known and upright person?"

He thought about it for a moment, and as for the person with the name Xuanyuan Jiao who was as strong as him, there was no such person in the entire world of immortality.

"The name Xuanyuan Jiao... doesn't seem to be your real name."

Zhao Yuan looked into Xuanyuan Jiao's eyes, and through the mask, his emotions were revealed momentarily as he speculated.

"What's the difference between a real name and a fake name?" Xuanyuan Jiao laughed, "What difference does it make between a noble family and an upright person, or an evil cultivator and a demon?"

"You and I are just people who want nothing, and people who have obsessions in their hearts."

Zhao Yuan sneered: "You want to mess with my Taoist mind?"

"Don't say you don't have obsessions." Xuanyuan Jiao's voice was deep, like a ghostly voice: "You are from a well-known and upright family, but you are always so hypocritical."

"It's clear that I have an obsession, but I don't dare to admit it."

Xuanyuan Jiao said as he responded to Zhao Yuan's attack.

Zhao Yuan paid no attention to what he said, and only moved towards Xuanyuan Jiao with fierce moves.

Just when Shen Niannian thought that Xuanyuan Jiao would continue to bewitch, Xuanyuan Jiao suddenly chuckled.

Then, he stepped lightly, like a gust of wind, and suddenly disappeared in front of Shen Niannian and Zhao Yuan.

Zhao Yuan was stunned on the spot. Suddenly, his pupils narrowed slightly and he shouted "No" in a low voice.

Then he flew towards the courtyard where Lu Wenyan was.

However, as he expected, when he arrived, all the servants and maids in the courtyard fainted and fell to the ground, and Lu Wenyan had long disappeared.
