Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world

"boom--"

Just then, the previously calm space suddenly began to distort violently, as if an invisible hand was stirring up the world.

Immediately afterwards, a blurry figure slowly emerged in the center of the distortion, as if it had forcibly squeezed in from another world.

This sudden turn of events startled everyone present. Lu Lingxi's pupils shrank as she clearly felt a powerful and suffocating pressure envelop the entire Yellow Spring Tomb with the appearance of that figure.

This oppressive aura far surpassed any enemy she had encountered before. Even the divine beast aura of the Vermilion Bird seemed insignificant in the face of this power. A strong sense of unease welled up in Lu Lingxi Yao's heart. The newcomer was definitely an extremely terrifying being.

Huan Yue was so frightened that his face turned pale. He instinctively took a few steps back and hid behind Lu Lingxi Yao. His intuition told him that the person who came was someone he could not possibly contend with.

Suzaku also felt this powerful pressure. She was originally focused on controlling the Nirvana Flame, but now she had to divert some of her attention to deal with this sudden situation. She let out a clear phoenix cry, trying to use the majesty of a divine beast to resist this oppressive feeling, but the effect was minimal.

The blurry figure gradually solidified, and finally, a middle-aged man dressed in a dark green robe appeared in everyone's sight. He was tall and straight, with a cold and stern face and eyes like lightning, as if he could see through everything.

He exuded a rich herbal scent, but beneath this scent lay a terrifyingly powerful force.

"Lord of a Hundred Herbs!"

Lu Lingxi recognized the person at a glance. She had seen a portrait of the Hundred Herbs Master in the records of the Immortal Doctor's Pavilion. Although the portrait differed from the real person, the unique temperament and powerful aura were impossible to imitate.

She never expected that the legendary master of the Immortal Doctor's Dock would actually appear here in person. Moreover, judging from his appearance, it seemed that he already knew everything that had happened here. In fact, he had come specifically for the Yellow Spring Root and the Soul-Devouring Demon Vine.

The Lord of Herbs' gaze swept over everyone present, lingering briefly on Lu Lingxi, Zhuque, and Huanyue, before finally settling on the Soul-Devouring Demon Vine (Phantom) that was battling the Nirvana Flame, and the Yellow Spring Root beside it that emitted an eerie light. In his eyes, a trace of undisguised greed and desire flashed.

"The Yellow Spring Root has indeed matured." The voice of the Hundred Herbs Master was deep and hoarse, as if it carried some kind of magic, making people uneasy. "And this Soul-Devouring Demon Vine... what an unexpected gain."

He paused, then turned his gaze to Lu Lingxi, his tone laced with sarcasm: "Little girl, you really have impressed me. You actually managed to find this place. However, all of this will end here."

"Lord of Herbs, you really are after the Yellow Spring Root!" Lu Lingxi Yao suppressed her unease and said coldly, "As the master of the Immortal Doctor's Dock, what is your purpose in secretly cultivating such an evil creature?"

"Purpose?" Lord Baicao sneered. "Of course, it's to control the spiritual lifeline of the entire Ancient Continent! With the Yellow Spring Root, my Immortal Doctor's Dock can become the master of this continent, and you will all become my stepping stones!" He made no attempt to hide his ambition, his tone filled with arrogance and confidence.

"As for this Soul-Devouring Vine..." Lord Baicao turned his gaze to the Soul-Devouring Vine—Phantom—that was fighting against the Nirvana Flame, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes, "This kind of evil and heretical path should never exist in the world. Today, I will eradicate it completely!"

He said "eradicate," but Lu Lingxi Yao keenly sensed that in the eyes of the Hundred Herbs Lord looking at the Soul-Devouring Vine, besides disgust, there seemed to be a trace of...desire.

This made Lu Lingxi even more puzzled. It seemed that the Hundred Herbs Lord's attitude towards the Soul-Devouring Vine was not as simple as he had said.

"Don't even think about it!" Lu Lingxi shouted sharply, "I won't let you succeed with Yellow Spring Root and Illusion!"

"Overestimating yourself!" Lord Baicao snorted coldly, and without further ado, he made his move.

With a gentle wave of his right hand, a surge of powerful spiritual energy erupted, transforming into several dark green vines that rushed towards Lu Lingxi and the others from all directions.

These vines are different from ordinary vines. Their surface is covered with fine scales and they emit a strong herbal aroma, but at the same time, they also contain powerful attack power and toxicity.

"Watch out!" Zhuque cried out in alarm, quickly flapping its wings and taking flight to try and dodge the attack of the vines.

Lu Lingxi Yao reacted quickly as well. She activated the spiritual power within her body, and the Flying Snow Sword emitted a crisp sword sound, transforming into a silver sword light that slashed at the attacking vines.

However, the toughness of these vines far exceeded Lu Lingxi's imagination. When the Flying Snow Sword struck them, it only left a shallow mark and could not be cut off at all.

"This is... the Medicine King Vine!" Lu Lingxi was shocked.

The Medicine King Vine is a unique spiritual plant found only in Immortal Doctor's Village. Through special cultivation and refining, it is incredibly tough, impervious to water and fire, and contains powerful toxicity. Once entangled, it is not only difficult to break free, but also corroded by its toxicity, leading to disordered spiritual energy and even coma. The Hundred Herbs Lord was clearly prepared in advance. He used the Medicine King Vine to instantly force Lu Lingxi and the others into a desperate situation.

Huan Yue was even more panicked. Although he possessed both wind and fire elemental powers, they were useless against the Medicine King Vine. He could only rely on the speed of the Gale Wolf to barely dodge the vine's attacks, but he quickly fell into a passive position.

The Vermilion Bird was in slightly better condition. After all, she was one of the Four Divine Beasts and possessed powerful bloodline strength. While she was spewing Nirvana Fire to burn the Medicine King Vines that tried to approach, she also had to be distracted by fighting against the Lord of Hundred Herbs.

The Lord of Herbs did not attack the Vermilion Bird directly, but instead used the Medicine King Vine to interfere with her, preventing her from fully suppressing the Soul-Devouring Demon Vine.

As the Vermilion Bird's attention was diverted, the pressure on the Soul-Devouring Demon Vine decreased sharply. The demonic energy that had been suppressed by the Nirvana Flame began to surge again, and the vines became even more violent.

"Roar--"

The Soul-Devouring Vine let out a deafening roar, and several thick vines suddenly broke free from the Nirvana Flame's restraints, lashing out fiercely at the Vermilion Bird.

Caught off guard, Zhuque was struck by one of the vines, letting out a painful cry and momentarily stopping in its tracks.

"not good!"

Seeing this, Lu Lingxi was extremely anxious. If the Vermilion Bird was defeated, they would completely lose the ability to resist, and at that time, they would be at the mercy of the Hundred Herbs Sovereign.

"This can't go on any longer!" Lu Lingxi gritted her teeth, thinking to herself.

She had to find a way to turn the situation around, otherwise, not only would she, Huan Yue, and Zhu Que die here, but Huan Ying would also be eliminated by Bai Cao Zun Zhu, and Huang Quan Gen would fall into Bai Cao Zun Zhu's hands, with unimaginable consequences.
