After Favorability Is Maxed

Chapter 256 - 256 The Heavens Want Me Dead?

256 The Heavens Want Me Dead?

Ever since Liu Yuan transmigrated, he had frequently come into contact with the characters he had previously conquered. He often encountered some bad situations, and he had almost developed a conditioned reflex–

Before seeing the person, he first read the message.

He looked into the distance and saw the eye-catching progress bar at first glance. The entire progress bar was red to black, and the frame was bloody. It was a shocking sight.

It was a far cry from the original ink painting’s peach-colored special effects.

The lithe figure in purple and wearing a ghost mask stood in the air, not moving in the rain. Her figure was a little blurry, but behind the ferocious bronze ghost mask, a pair of bright and charming green eyes were clear. Unfortunately, the glass-like brilliance was filled with hatred and not intoxicating gentleness and love.

To be honest, Liu Yuan had never seen such a scene before.

Even in his original game, he had never managed to get an NPC’s favorability to negative points. At most, it would be a slight level of aggro like-10 or-20. He might be attacked when he walked on the road, but it would be fine if he was defeated.

As for -50, it was ‘blood feud’.

Except for some players who played the game for the feeling of being unscrupulous, which was different from reality. In a game with high degrees of freedom like Shangyang, the NPCs were not treated as individuals. Instead, they specialized in causing destruction for fun, which would cause the NPCs’ favorability to drop to the bottom. However, the punishment mechanism in the game was also very serious. After more than three serious events of negative favorability, it was basically difficult to move in the game, and one could only delete their account.

Under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult to see a favorability of less than -30.

The favorability bar had both sides, but in the game, it would only display one side, which was either positive or negative.

And now, Liu Yuan could only think of one possibility – the originally full favorability value had been reversed!

However, two questions arose. First, who was the one who reversed the situation? Secondly, how did she reverse the situation?

At that moment, there was only one name in Liu Yuan’s mind.

At this moment, the people from the three halls of the Jade Mirage Sect who intended to compete for the position of the Sect Master had joined forces with the Bi Luo Mansion to attack Ling Hua, who was the most promising candidate to be the next Sect Master.

However, the previous attack had gone far beyond the line of the Jade Mirage Sect being the leader of the Orthodox sects. With the addition of the disciples who were controlled, it was very clear that Bi Luo Mansion was just making things difficult for them.

Before this, when Liu Yuan was looking at the illustrated handbook, he found a character that had disappeared for no reason.

Coincidentally, it belonged to the Bi Luo Mansion.

Mei Sheng!

Originally, she was the messenger who was responsible for delivering orders for the Mansion Master, ‘Netherworld’. She had no real power but her status was high. She was arrogant and everyone in the mansion treated her as a puppet. They respected her on the surface but did not care much about her.

She was a beautiful and tall mixed-blood woman with an arrogant and naive temperament. She had red hair and blue eyes that only the Southern Barbarian tribes had. However, in a gloomy and cold-blooded sect like Bi Luo Mansion, she acted arrogantly and unscrupulously. However, because of this, no one wanted to deal with her. They only thought of her as a big-chested and brainless flower vase.

Moreover, she still held the ‘right’ to meet the Mansion Master. Since she did not have any real power, she would not interfere with their work, so naturally, she would treat them well.

However, although the purple-robed woman in front of him had red hair and blue eyes, and her figure and temperament were the same as Mei Sheng, she clearly exuded an extremely dangerous aura. Her spiritual power was restrained, but her might was deep and sinister, as heavy and terrifying as the opening of the nine netherworlds. The rain in the surroundings automatically stopped and was instantly stirred into water vapor, causing a rain fog to appear in the surroundings. The clouds of lightning and thunder above seemed to cheer for her, becoming her background.

Ling Hua stood in front of Liu Yuan. Her long black hair was scattered and slightly wet by the rain, fluttering in the wind. Liu Yuan then realized that the headband on her head had been broken and had flown far away. The purple-robed woman must have attacked just now, but Ling Hua noticed it and blocked the attack, causing the headband to break.

The Jade Mirage Senior Sister’s face was serious and she frowned. She looked a little confused, but she did not dare to relax her movements. “Netherworld?”

Two of her fingers came together and streaked across the edge of the Demon Subduing Sword. Green and purple electric snakes jumped around. She had already used the unique skill of the Jade Mirage Sect and the fiercest Daoist skill, the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Technique. This Daoist skill was the most difficult to learn, but in terms of power, it was the top.

Even the three elders had not mastered the technique. Otherwise, in such a stormy weather, the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Technique would be the most suitable. If the time was right, it could even be compared to the Heavenly Tribulation. Why would they not use it?

Liu Yuan held his breath, his entire body tensed up as he looked at the purple-robed woman. While waiting for an answer, he calculated the time that his Blood-Burning Pill could last.

However, he had already had some guesses earlier, and now he was just trying to verify them.

And the truth was almost right in front of him.

Why did Ling Hua think that the purple-robed woman was the elusive ‘Netherworld’ of Bi Luo Mansion? It was because of the bronze ghost mask!

It was the legendary ‘Netherworld’, who would never take off his mask. Every sect and clan would definitely have a portrait of him. Although he did not have a real appearance, there was no way they would mistake his iconic ghost mask.

The eyes of the purple-clothed person still revealed a kind of cold hatred and disdain. The voice under the mask was hoarse and rough, and it was impossible to tell if it was male or female. It was clear through the rain. She ignored Ling Hua and only looked at the bodies that were swept away and submerged in the river. She sneered and said, “A bunch of trash.”

With a pinch of her hand, she turned the corpses into dust.

She retracted her hand as if she was crushing a few ants. She looked at Liu Yuan and said, “This Lord originally didn’t intend to appear here, only waiting for your reputation to be ruined, and the moment when everyone betrays you, This Lord will personally end you. I didn’t expect that you’ve actually already turned into a demon.”

Liu Yuan laughed awkwardly, thinking that her tone did not sound like Mei Sheng.

On the contrary… It sounded totally unfamiliar.

At the very least, Mei Sheng would never use the term ‘This Lord’. She usually liked to call herself ‘Mei Sheng’, as if she was emphasizing her name.

Also, she did not seem like a person who would hate because of love.

Because she did not even look at Ling Hua!

Liu Yuan, who was already experienced, could find some examples from Shen Sifan. When she forced Liu Yuan to choose one of the two in the City of Ten Thousand Swords, she was already jealous. No matter how much Mei Sheng hated her, it was impossible for her to not feel anything about Ling Hua that ‘stole’ her man. However, the purple-robed person in front of her did not even look at her.

Liu Yuan’s suspicion grew deeper and deeper, but he did not explain the coexistence of spiritual power and demonic Qi in his body. At this time, how could the other party have the patience to listen to this? It was very dangerous to interrupt the conversation. If she was impatient, she might directly come over and take Liu Yuan’s head.

Negative favorable impression points were not to be underestimated.

Now, this fellow was talking so much nonsense and was only making an announcement. Her aura was so strong that it was impossible to defeat her. The difference in strength between the two of them was so great that the surrounding aura was completely shrouded. Once she made a move, they would only die. Liu Yuan had no intention of resisting, dealing with, or persuading her.

Just like how it was difficult to drop a full positive favorability, a full negative favorability would not be shaken by words alone.

The only chance he had now was to escape while the effects of the Blood-Burning Pill had not passed.

‘But 15 minutes is too much, isn’t it?’ Liu Yuan laughed bitterly in his heart. ‘I can only escape a few thousand miles at my maximum speed. I’ll probably die before I can even leave this woman’s perception range.’

The wind and rain patted his skin, sending chills down his spine, just like his heart at this moment.

Could it be that the heavens want me dead?
