Villain Master, my disciples all want to backstab me

Bai Yuan spoke again.

The Blood Kite on the opposite side was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."

In the world of "Asking the Immortal", which is a world with the way of heaven, the oath of "heaven's punishment and earth's destruction" is binding.

Moreover, although "Blood Kite" is cunning and a frequent liar, she usually keeps her promises. Now that she has said so, I think I can put my mind at ease a little.

present.

Bai Yuan and "Blood Yuan" withdrew their mental power at the same time.

The sea of ​​consciousness, which had been in a state of chaos, suddenly calmed down.

Of course, what was withdrawn here was only the mental power used by both sides to launch attacks, but the mental power used for defense remained unchanged. At this moment, Bai Yuan's sea of ​​consciousness was split into two, with a red barrier on the left and a white barrier on the right separating the two.

at this time.

This sea of ​​consciousness space suddenly shook violently.

Bai Yuan's consciousness also became slightly hazy, and he saw countless fragments of memory floating across the sky above his sea of ​​consciousness like a shower of meteors, making the earth below sparkle.

"Ok?"

Blood Kite was slightly startled, then, through the translucent red and white barrier, it gave Bai Yuan a gloating smile: "It seems that your body can no longer hold on. Without the support of your flesh, your soul will probably not be able to leave [Cangwu County] before it will be shattered..."

"Well, don't worry. When the time comes, I will accept your soul with tears in my eyes and take good care of your disciples."

——The agreement between the two was only to not attack each other before returning to the outside world, but "helping" each other collect the bodies did not violate this agreement and was completely feasible logically.

"Humph."

Bai Yuan responded indifferently, "Don't bother with this kind of thing. You should first think about how we can leave this dead city."

Speaking of which...

If she had just arrived, she might have actually considered accepting Blood Kite's exchange proposal and leaving the mess outside, especially the threats posed by her three disciples, to her other self. But now... Ye Shuang'er and Jiang Rao had been trained and trained by her, and if Blood Kite took advantage of them, it would be a huge loss.

(This body seems to be on the verge of collapse...)

Theoretically, Bai Yuan was doomed to die, after all, this was the fighting style she had adopted from the beginning. However, if her physical body collapsed like this, her sea of ​​consciousness would also collapse, and then the "Blood Kite" statement would come true.

To avoid that situation...

(This is the only way)

Bai Yuan closed his eyes slightly and began to recall the last time he entered the [Wheel of Life and Death], trying to lead himself and "Blood Kite" into it.

……

outside world.

Ye Shuang'er was still kneeling beside Bai Yuan, her face covered in tears, staring at her master without blinking.

At this moment, Bai Yuan has regressed from her initial mature lady form to a loli form.

This is normal.

Because the "royal sister form" she had previously displayed was originally a temporary breakthrough achieved through the accumulation of the "Qingmu Cangling Jue", it was not sustainable. Especially now, she had not hesitated to destroy her Dantian, and her spiritual power and vitality had almost been completely drained, leaving her only able to show herself in this petite and exquisite form.

At this moment, Ye Shuang'er just felt that she was useless.

I had clearly received so much help from my master before, whether it was the "Innate Gu Pattern" or the Nascent Soul Realm... I thought my progress was fast enough that I could serve as my master's helper, but I didn't expect that when I was really faced with difficulties in the end, I still couldn't help at all and could only watch my master suffer.

If it was Senior Ji...

No, there's no need for Ji Lingyun. Even if it were Second Senior Sister Jiang Rao, if she were in my current situation, she would be able to come up with many ways to help Master, right? As expected, I am the only one who is the burden...

Thinking of this, Ye Shuang'er felt like wiping away tears again.

Before she could cry out loud, there was a "knock knock" sound above her head. It sounded like someone was knocking on the door. The movement seemed gentle, elegant, even gentlemanly.

Then, a cold voice came from outside: "Is anyone there?"

"?"

Ye Shuang'er was stunned for a moment, and then she vaguely realized something -

If she heard correctly, the voice just now seemed... no, it should indeed have come from Ji Lingyun!

"Is this Senior Ji? My master and I are here, as well as Dabai! My master is in danger right now, so please…"

Ye Shuang'er suddenly stood up, put her hands together like a trumpet, and shouted loudly towards the sky. The shouting set off waves of echoes in the surrounding area, deafening.

From Ye Shuang'er's perspective, she could only see darkness above her head, just like a starless and moonless night. No matter how hard she tried to sense, she could not catch any trace of the slightest breath fluctuation, as if the sound that just came into her ears was just her illusion.

Good thing...

Ye Shuang'er didn't wait too long.

With a "puff" sound, a crack suddenly appeared in the dark "night sky", and then a green light flashed across.

The light was just a point at first, but soon spread out, forming a straight line, like a divine sword that created the world, cutting the top of the abyss in half.

then.

Another "click" sound was heard.

More light poured in, but this time, it was mixed with blood - it was the light emitted by the blood moon hanging high in the sky.

Ji Lingyun stood under the moonlight, her clothes fluttering in the wind, standing with her hands behind her back. Her slender and upright figure was like the fairy Lingbo riding the wind in Fengxu, which made people fascinated.

Ye Shuang'er suddenly let out a low cry.

The world around me was spinning.

The "abyss" disappeared, and all the external things around it also disappeared.

Ye Shuang'er regained consciousness and opened her eyes wide in surprise. She found herself curled up in a square coffin. Next to her was the white tiger, also curled up, and Bai Yuan, sandwiched between the tiger and the man.

Bai Yuan at this moment was basically the same as she had seen before, still in the form of a petite loli, with the slender [Qingfeng Huasha] stuck in her chest. Her entire body was dyed red with blood, most of which had already dried up, and she looked as if she had been dead for a long time.

"Senior Ji!"

Ye Shuang'er quickly turned over and got up, looking at Ji Lingyun outside, and shouted, "Please help me, Master..."

"Ok, I know."

Chapter 148 Five Elements Divine King Body!

Ji Lingyun smiled, glanced inside the coffin, and then snapped her fingers.

With this action.

Then a few points of cyan-gold light emerged from her fingertips, jumping and sinking into the bodies of the people in the coffins.

Among them, the injuries on Baihu and Ye Shuang'er healed automatically in a short moment, leaving no scars; only Bai Yuan was wrapped in a cocoon-like light film. From the outside, only a vague human outline and a faint flame-like light could be seen, but the specific situation could not be detected.

“…Is this all right?”

Ye Shuang'er was a little worried.

"Ah."

Ji Lingyun said lightly: "Don't forget how your master survived the previous times. How could someone like her die in a place like this?"

After a pause, Ji Lingyun continued, "Alright, you and this big cat, if you can still move, quickly crawl out of here. We have to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, if we get entangled by those things, we're bound to get into trouble."

"..."

Only then did Ye Shuang'er remember the current situation of her group.

At the same time, she was also a little confused——

He was plotted against by his fake master, which led to him losing himself soon after entering Cangwu County; Bai Yuan and Bai Hu had gone through a series of battles until they both died; so what was this Senior Ji doing before?

She doesn't look like she's been through a battle, but if she hadn't encountered the enemy, why did she come here now?

Although she had some doubts in her heart, Ye Shuang'er also knew that this was not the time to discuss such matters. Besides, she had no right to question Ji Lingyun.

soon.

Ye Shuang'er and Baihu jumped out of the black coffin and stood on the street outside.

The "innate Gu pattern" on Ye Shuang'er's forehead lit up, and the white tiger shook its fur, revealing a fierce look.

"Let's go."

Ji Lingyun raised her fingertips and lifted the black coffin from the ground. The white kite lying inside the coffin floated behind her. "This place is connected to the Yellow Springs. The tide we encountered earlier hasn't ended yet, so we can't just open the tunnel and leave... Let's find a place to lie low and wait for the tide to dissipate before we leave."

"it is good."

……

[The Abyss of Cangwu].

The ancestral home of the Jiang family.

This was the underground palace beneath Jiang Hengyu's residence. Within the nearly 1,000 square meters, rows of bookcases and shelves were placed, filled with various classics, ancient volumes, and rare treasures stored in jade boxes, emitting a vast chill.

The center of the underground palace.

Jiang Rao, dressed in a plain white gown, sat on the ground, eyes closed, practicing Qigong. Before her, the Five Elements Wheel hovered in the air, its five-colored spiritual patterns moving like living things, forming five different colored spiritual beams of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. These rotated and struck the girl, weaving a cocoon around her.

——【Dayan Five Elements Wheel】!

now.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Jiang Rao's forehead, as if she had reached a critical moment in her practice.

Behind her, an illusory star map of the Five Elements began to emerge—golden spears hanging from the sky, towering ancient trees, vast oceans surging, blazing flames burning mountains, and thick earth bearing all things. These star maps emerged and scrolled one after another like relief sculptures, reflecting the distant beams of light emanating from the Five Elements Wheel, presenting an even more dazzling stream of light.

"This is……"

An ancient array pattern suddenly lit up on the blue brick ground.

A translucent figure emerged from the center of the formation, looking at the star map behind his daughter from afar in the form of a residual soul. A hint of surprise appeared on his face, which was originally calm.

"The Five Elements rotate, and the Divine King appears... This is the 'Five Elements Divine King Body' that only a handful of people in the Jiang family's history have awakened!"

and……

The fact that five star maps appeared simultaneously after just the first awakening was truly extraordinary, demonstrating that Jiang Rao's aptitude was clearly the best in the Jiang family's history! She was a rare talent with the opportunity to cultivate the "Divine King Body" to its final stage of perfection!

"I never thought that Rao'er actually possessed such physical potential. If only..."

Jiang Taixu subconsciously thought of the hypothesis of "what if I brought Jiang Rao here in advance to help her awaken her constitution", but then he realized -

The "Five Elements Divine King Body" is one of the most powerful physiques in the world. Theoretically, once awakened, one can become invincible within their own level, even against opponents of higher levels. However, this "invincibility" is subject to basic rules. It's impossible for Jiang Rao, who was only five years old at the time, to directly unleash her power and confront the Shentu family.

As for Jiang Taixu himself, although he was the previous head of the Jiang family, he was not able to awaken the "God King Body", so even if he absorbed and refined the essence and blood in the Five Elements Wheel, it would be unlikely for him to break through to the Return to Void Realm, and he had no power to resist the trend of the Jiang family's destruction.

and so……

"Hey."

Jiang Taixu gave a bitter smile and sighed softly, "It's time, it's fate. It seems the downfall of my Jiang family is heaven's will."

After saying that, Jiang Taixu said no more and continued to watch Jiang Rao practice.

the other side.

Over time.

The five-element star map gradually became solid.

The result of all this was that Jiang Rao's blood and qi began to become extremely unstable, churning inside her, causing her face to turn red and white. Suddenly, Jiang Rao raised her hand and covered her chest, forcibly suppressing the blood rushing into her throat and slowly swallowing it back.

With this action, she slowly opened her eyes, and the five-colored divine light in her eyes flashed for a moment, and then quietly disappeared.

"……Father?"

Jiang Rao originally wanted to carefully check the injuries in his body to see what caused them, but when he looked up, he noticed Jiang Taixu and immediately frowned.

"Ah."

The latter nodded slightly and said, "It seems that you have fully gained the recognition of the [Dayan Five Elements Wheel] and can now try to control it. Yes, such talent is worthy of being my daughter."

"Thank you for the compliment, father." Jiang Rao said modestly.

Elsewhere, Jiang Taixu continued, "The Jiang family has been passed down for thousands of years, with dozens of patriarchs throughout the generations. The vast majority of them left behind a portion of their essence and blood, sealed within this [Five Elements Wheel], for future generations to use. Now that you, Rao'er, have gained the recognition of the [Five Elements Wheel], you will now be able to control this essence and blood."

talking.

Jiang Taixu suddenly raised his hand and tapped it lightly. The Five Elements Wheel vibrated like a dragon's roar, and five drops of blood with colorful light oozed out of the central groove and floated in front of her.

"These drops of blood essence are quite special. They all come from generations of Jiang family members who have achieved the ultimate perfection of the 'Five Elements Divine King Body'. If you can refine them all, you can at least reach the Divine Transformation stage within five years."
