"You have a point. It seems I'm the real villain."

Seeing Yu Xianxian nod in agreement, Si Tu was somewhat surprised. Heh, the fact that she wasn't scolding him now simply meant she had other plans. However…

"By the way, Yu Xianxian, do you know what happened to the Immortal Sect while you were here?"

"Hehe, judging from your expression, nothing good is going to happen."

Facing Yu Xianxian's sarcasm, Si Tu felt no anger whatsoever. In fact, what he wanted to see was her wanting to kill him but being powerless to do so. She wanted him dead, so he would make her wish she were dead.

"Since you know this, why don't you see for yourself? Surely Heaven can handle something this trivial."

As she spoke, Si Tu glanced at the script floating in the air beside her, her mockery undisguised.

If we adjust the time to half an hour earlier, Yu Xianxian had just entered the illusion presented to her by the Heavenly Dao, and the Immortal Sect was still in a peaceful and harmonious state of affairs.

Oh, it can't really be called a routine, because today the disciples of the immortal sect have an extra task in addition to their usual cultivation duties.

"After you send the people to Snow Rain City, remember to contact the senior brothers and sisters in charge of reconstruction. These people have been quite frightened, so remember to be careful."

At the foot of the mountain in the Immortal Sect, Lin Xiao was giving his final instructions to his senior brothers and sisters who were on a mission. The half-orcs brought back from Snow Rain City by Ling Yao had, after joint research by several peak masters, finally had some of the less altered individuals restored to human form. After a period of treatment and reassurance, it was now time to send these restored individuals back to their original forms.

Lin Xiao sighed as he watched the ordinary people being escorted away by his junior brothers and sisters. These people were considered lucky; they could still turn back into human form. As for those in more serious condition, it was good enough that they could maintain their rationality. And then there were those who were even worse...

Now, with Snow Rain City in front and the Linlan crisis behind, it is truly a time of many troubles. Fortunately, the situation in Linlan has been mostly resolved, and the peak masters have all returned to the immortal sect, which has reassured many disciples who were feeling uneasy.

But does the fact that the peak master is here so quickly really mean it's a good thing?

Lin Xiao looked up at the departing crowd in the sky; the clouds were unusually heavy today.

Just then, several beast roars pierced the sky, causing everyone in the immortal sect to look up. At the same time, a shout rang out.

"Those orcs went berserk on Spirit Beast Peak."

At this moment, inside the Spirit Beast Peak, a huge and strange spirit beast is rampaging. No, should it be called a spirit beast?

Three beast heads of different shapes attacked the disciples of the Spirit Beast Peak from different directions. The thick tortoise shell protected its back, rendering the attacks there useless. Some of its four thick legs were treading on raging flames, some were wrapped in rolling thunder, and some emitted a strange smell that could knock people to the ground.

"Lure it into the trap behind the bamboo forest. Don't fight it head-on. Make sure you take all the antidote pills and hold on until Master returns."

"Senior Brother, that monster's tail..."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked behind the monster, and immediately, they all gasped in shock.

Countless human heads were strung together like candied hawthorns on a skewer on the monster's tail. As the monster swung its tail, the heads flew through the air. And yet, all the heads were still alive. Some were howling in pain, some were crying out for help, and others were cursing everyone in a frenzy...

"What the hell is this?"

The disciples of Spirit Beast Peak believed they had seen countless strange spirit beasts, but were such things truly something that should exist in this world?

"What are you all standing there for? Get moving!"

Just as everyone was stunned, a green thing flashed by, and a scar appeared on the monster's head, forcing it to release the Spirit Beast Peak disciple it had just bitten.

"Senior Sister, it's Senior Sister!"

"Bai Ge, your injuries haven't healed yet, what are you doing out here? Go back now."

"Stop talking nonsense. This is how it is on Spirit Beast Peak. How can the senior sister lie down? Aren't we going to lead this ugly thing to the trap? Hurry up and act. I'll cover the rear to ensure the safety of the other disciples."

"Don't come looking for me if you die."

Bai Ge, who was slowly falling from the sky, heard this and snorted coldly: "Don't worry, this level of injury won't kill you."

A pair of white wings emerged from Bai Ge's back. After all, this was her own territory. All she had to do now was cooperate with the others to send this ugly thing into the trap, and she would have succeeded halfway. Heh, it was much easier than fighting two Transcending Tribulation stage cultivators.

But the next second, the monster's tail suddenly lunged at her.

"Why don't you join us?"

"I don't want to become an ugly thing like you."

As Bai Ge spoke, the green dragon claw in his hand flashed with a cold light, as if he was about to cut off the tail in the next second.

Suddenly, a net fell from above Bai Ge's head. Before it even touched her, the strong electric current emanating from it rendered her unable to move.

"what!"

Suddenly, Bai Ge let out a scream. She struggled to lift her head, but the next second, she froze.

"Peak Master Ling Qi..."

At this moment, Ling Qi was standing on an umbrella. Her right hand was outstretched and gradually clenched into a fist. As she moved, the lightning net covering Bai Ge began to contract, and the electricity released from it increased continuously. Clearly, this lightning net was Ling Qi's magical artifact.

“Peak Master Ling Qi, these people are no longer human. If you are really worried that your disciple might hurt them…”

"idiot!"

With a shout of curse, a wooden box tightly bound Ling Qi. At the same time, the lightning net on Bai Ge's body stopped generating any lightning. Upon seeing this, Shangguan Heng, who had arrived, immediately removed the net from Bai Ge's body and threw it down, while protecting him behind him.

"Look at the way my master is acting, does it look like he's afraid you'll hurt them?"

"How did you..."

Before Bai Ge could ask a question, the wooden box that had trapped Ling Qi exploded with a "bang," and the person trapped inside looked down at them again.

Shangguan Heng was not surprised by this result. In fact, the fact that he was able to trap Ling Qi for a moment was already an improvement for him, right, Master?

After returning with the peak masters, Shangguan Heng went back to Spirit Weapon Peak and would often visit his master to try and trick him into giving him some useful magical artifacts. Today, as usual, he went to see Ling Qi, but just as he was about to reach the door, he saw his master expressionlessly riding a flying magical artifact towards Spirit Sword Peak.

That was an expression Shangguan Heng had never seen before. Ling Qi either smiled happily or with a mischievous grin; she never showed any other expression.

Sensing something was wrong, Shangguan Heng secretly followed. However, due to the difference in their cultivation levels, Shangguan Heng quickly lost track of them. Halfway there, hearing the commotion at Spirit Beast Peak, he ultimately decided to come here first to check the situation.

I just didn’t expect that…

Shangguan Heng looked up at Ling Qi, his hand gripping the magic weapon tightly. He never expected that one day he would be able to fight his master for real. It would have been better to fight those demons; at least they could use their full strength.
