Villain Master, my disciples all want to backstab me

This process took about a minute.

Bai Yuan held his breath and waited patiently.

Just at the moment when the blood flowed to the top of the stone tablet.

A rumbling vibration sound was heard.

First, a roar of landslides and earth-shattering was heard from the vast wasteland behind the few people, as if the whole earth was shaking.

Ye Shuang'er also woke up from the tremor. She nervously grasped the tiger skin beneath her. A faint bluish-purple color of poison stained her face. She looked around: "Hey, what's going on? Is there an earthquake? Master, where are we now?"

"Shh~"

Bai Yuan made a gesture to keep quiet, and continued to stare at the stone tablet.

At this moment, fine lines of formations emerged from the stone tablet, causing the surrounding ground within a few hundred meters to glow and vibrate. The color of blood refracted from the stone tablet, distorting the surrounding scenery into flowing blocks of color.

Rumble…

In the perception of Bai Yuan and his group, a "door" that could not be distinguished by the naked eye emerged from this distorted block of color, with a circle of flickering light appearing around it. It looked a bit similar to when the "destruction" technique was activated, but not exactly the same.

"Come out, let's go!"

Bai Yuan's spirits lifted, and he immediately issued an order to Bai Hu. At the same time, he expanded the [Galaxy Fantasy Veil] array to its maximum.

——This type of space portal is usually unstable and there is a risk of being sucked into a space crack midway. So you still have to be careful.

The white tiger flapped its wings and pounced towards the "door", and together with the white kite and the other two on its back, it passed through it, creating ripples like water waves in the air.

Behind the "door" is a deep and boundless starry sky.

This starry sky is somewhat similar to the [Wheel of Life and Death] that Bai Yuan had experienced before.

Above was a dark, deep night sky filled with fragments of stars.

Far, far below, a vast river could be vaguely seen, spanned by a bridge of bones. Dense, translucent figures stumbled along the bridge, black blood dripping from their bodies, forming blood-red mandala flowers at their feet.

"Don't look!"

Bai Yuan suddenly came to his senses and whispered, "That's the reflection of the Yellow Springs tributary over there. If you stare at it for more than three seconds, you might be drawn into it and lost in this yin and yang... Let's go! Fly high into the starry sky!"

As Bai Yuan finished speaking.

Ji Tingxue and Ye Shuang'er both withdrew their gazes and looked down at the tiger's back in front of them. The latter even closed his eyes tightly, not daring to look around casually.

The white tiger roared and pounced forward, flying towards the vast starry sky.

But at this moment.

Suddenly, the sound of gurgling water was heard.

Then, Bai Yuan had a strange feeling of error—

They were clearly heading upwards, but as the white tiger flapped its wings, they were unconsciously falling downwards, getting closer and closer to the reflection of the Yellow Spring. So close that they could even hear the sound of the river flowing, just like the sound when the [Yellow Spring Order] was activated!

and.

The people on the bone bridge seemed to notice them and looked up.

Then, those blurry and numb faces with unclear features began to reveal human colors: ferocious, fierce, eager, and attached... They stretched out their hands and made a "grabbing" gesture towards Bai Yuan and his group.

An invisible resistance followed, causing the white tiger's body to slow down at a speed visible to the naked eye. Its huge bone wings were gradually tightened, making it feel like it could not fly even with wings.

"grass……"

"Since I came here, nothing good has happened to me..."

Bai Yuan muttered a few words in his heart, then took out the [Linglong Dice] and prepared to throw it again.

However, to escape this eerie reflection of the Yellow Springs, one would likely have to resort to the word "annihilation." "Illusion" and "escape" were useless. "Death" and "life"... might work, but would more likely lead to trouble. After all, this place bordered the Yellow Springs, and manipulating the rules of life and death at will would likely cause unpredictable changes.

"Never mind. If he gets dragged into the Yellow Springs tributary, he'll probably die... Just throw him away first!"

Just as Bai Yuan was about to roll the dice.

A hand suddenly reached out from behind and held her hand.

Then a soft yet cold voice, with a warm breath, sounded faintly in her ears:

"If I were you, I wouldn't do that."

Chapter 129 How about promising yourself to me?

"...?!"

Bai Yuan turned around suddenly and found that Ji Tingxue had come behind her without her knowing, and was looking at her calmly.

Because they were both sitting, their upper bodies were close to each other, so when she turned her head, she almost touched his lips. Fortunately, Bai Yuan was quick-witted at the last moment and pulled back a little, so she didn't kiss him directly.

Then, Bai Yuan looked at the face in front of him with a little surprise and opened his mouth subconsciously:

"You are Ji..."

"Shh~"

"Ji Tingxue" made a gesture to keep quiet.

Just this one action, coupled with the look just now, has allowed Bai Yuan to confirm her identity -

It was obvious that the person sitting here wasn't Ji Tingxue, but the larger version of "Ji Lingyun." Perhaps because of the appearance of Huangquan's reflection, she felt an unusual fluctuation, so she once again took on the top account.

"...The rules within this space are very different from those outside. The uncertainty of your dice roll is too great. If you throw the wrong side, it may cause some unexpected consequences. Then, it will be difficult to escape from here."

Ji Lingyun said casually, "Also, it's best not to mention the names of people you know in a place like this, otherwise it will bring bad luck to them."

"Well, it doesn't really matter... After all, I should have been on that bridge a long time ago, I just used some special means to escape. Same with you."

The last sentence sounds suggestive.

But before Bai Yuan could ask.

Ji Lingyun closed her mouth, raised her ten fingers slightly, and tapped the air around her a few times as if playing the piano.

Strands of invisible silk threads emerged in the air, as if cutting something.

With this action.

Although the figures on the bone bridge below were still maintaining the "grasping" action, the spirit on their faces had begun to fade, returning to their original numb expressions, and then gradually lowering their heads and continuing to move towards the other side of the bridge.

The resistance that had been surrounding Bai Yuan and his group, especially Bai Hu, disappeared. The latter's bone wings flapped again and rose high into the starry sky.

"open."

Ji Lingyun opened her cherry lips slightly.

This sound was like a solemn order.

Without any other movement from her, a crack suddenly appeared in the vast starry sky, like a "door".

As Baihu was touched by Ji Lingyun's finger, the "王" character on his forehead suddenly lit up, and the dense veins of the leaves spread along the tea leaf in the middle of the "王" character, causing the latter's cultivation aura to surge in a very short time, reaching a level close to the Divine Transformation Realm, and turned into a sharp arrow that shot into the sky!

In this process.

Bai Yuan looked back and saw that the scenes behind him turned into phantoms and shattered in an instant.

Among the countless tumbling and surging phantom fragments, there were countless giant bony hands wrapped in chains, stretching out with all their might, some thick, some slender, trying to grab them, but they were all left behind by the White Tiger with a difference of several body lengths.

If one were to observe this scene from a bystander's perspective, one would likely see a mountain of bones, stretching from the reflection of the Yellow Springs at the bottom to the vast starry sky, reaching an unknown height.

next second.

The three men and the tiger passed through the "door" and escaped from the reflection of the underworld.

Almost at the moment of breaking through the door, Ji Lingyun waved her hand, and the "door" closed, sealing those giant skeletal hands inside. The moment the two collided, countless ripples spread in the air, but eventually subsided, as if everything just now was just a dream.

call--!

The wind sounded.

As a gust of wind blew, the surrounding scenery returned to its normal color, and it was a lush jungle again.

However, this time the jungle was not as quiet and eerie as the previous "Dead Forest". Instead, it was filled with dense trees, singing birds and fragrant flowers. Even the sky above had become clear blue, with no signs of lingering gray fog. It looked so normal that it was a little abnormal.

——After all, the rules of a place like [Cangwu Abyss] are different from those of the outside world in every way. Scenes like this that are common in the outside world are very rare here, like an oasis in the desert.

"northwest."

Ji Lingyun spoke.

This sentence was said to Baihu.

Upon hearing this, the latter immediately changed direction and flew towards the northwest.

On the tiger's back, Bai Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. After quietly scanning the surroundings, he turned around and whispered a thank you:

"Thank you very much for your help, Senior. Otherwise, we would be in great danger. This junior and I are deeply grateful."

A few meters away, Ye Shuang'er, who was also sitting on the tiger's back, followed Bai Yuan's movements and bowed slightly in greeting, not daring to say much.

"Oh?"

Ji Lingyun raised an eyebrow and looked at Bai Yuan with a hint of mischief in her eyes. "I think I've heard these words of thanks before... Last time it was in Falling Star Valley, and this time it was in Cangwu Abyss. Both times I was the one who helped you clean up the mess. I'm afraid a few nice words won't be enough to repay such a big favor, right?"

"Forehead……"

Bai Yuan was slightly speechless.

——To be precise, Ji Lingyun actually has three favors.

The first one was to help clean up the mess after the battle in Luoxing Valley. Not only did he bring her and Baihu back to Yinyue Mountain and use the [Qingmu Ding] to help her complete her second transformation, he also set up a barrier to allow her and Ye Shuang'er to retreat for more than three months without being disturbed, and their strength was steadily improved.

The second one was to teach her the "Qingmu Cangling Jue".

However, this technique is a bit difficult to evaluate.

Although the level of the technique was indeed quite high and the "reservoir" it created was quite large, the side effect was that Bai Yuan's body, which had originally grown to a mature woman form, suddenly regressed to a loli form. Although Bai Yuan had spent some time in this form when she first crossed over, she couldn't say she was uncomfortable, but she was somewhat unhappy.

So she was a little reluctant to acknowledge this favor.

The third one is now.

Even if Ji Lingyun hadn't come, Bai Yuan wouldn't necessarily be unable to escape from that space. After all, she still had two [Linglong Dice] rolls left, and she also had an extra throwing opportunity after throwing all six sides.

However, Ji Lingyun's arrival undoubtedly saved her a lot of effort and made the danger she might have encountered disappear invisibly.

This favor is more tangible than the previous two.

At that moment, Bai Yuan coughed lightly and spoke in an earnest tone, "My strength is still low at the moment, so I'm afraid I can't do much for you, senior. However, if there is anything you need someone to do, please let me know, and I will do my best to try."

"You know you're weak, and all you have to offer is this body. So why not keep it simple...how about offering your body to me?"

Ji Lingyun held her chin with one hand, and looked at Bai Yuan's petite body with a somewhat aggressive gaze, as if she wanted to see through her clothes directly. She spoke in a half-joking tone.

"?"

Bai Yuan was stunned.

——For a moment, she thought Ji Tingxue was serious.

Moreover, she was really moved.

After all, Ji Lingyun, as a powerful figure who once reached the threshold of the Heavenly Man Realm, was incredibly wealthy. Even after a thousand years, the things she refined would be priceless to ordinary cultivators. Living off the wealth of such a wealthy woman wouldn't be bad at all...

However, considering that her disciples and mount were watching nearby, even if Ji Lingyun was serious, she could not nod in agreement. She still had to maintain the integrity of the "Demon Lord".

then.

Bai Yuan coughed lightly and said seriously, "Senior, please stop joking."

A few meters away.

Ye Shuang'er, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation, opened her eyes wide and subconsciously wanted to speak. However, due to Ji Lingyun's powerful aura and strength, she was unable to speak. She just stared at them with her eyes wide open.

After a brief silence.

Ji Lingyun smiled slightly: "Well, it was indeed a joke, but it's a pity that no one is cheering for it... The young people of your generation are really a bit boring."

"Also, I do have something I'd like someone else to do for me, but it's too difficult for you right now. Just keep these two favors in mind for now, and we'll discuss them later when you've reached a higher level of cultivation."

While talking.

Ji Lingyun sat up straight and looked forward from the tiger's back.

Just a moment ago.

The group had already flown over the woods and arrived at a place that looked like a swamp.
