Villain Master, my disciples all want to backstab me

"Why, knowing that your end is near, you're actually so happy?"

Across from him, the purple-robed elder snorted again and sneered, "Laugh a little longer. You won't have this chance in the underworld anymore."

Hear this.

Bai Yuan finally stopped laughing, then slowly raised her right hand, as if admiring her jade-white fingers. "I originally thought that as one of the four righteous sects, you should have more dignity. Or perhaps after two lessons, you should have become a little smarter. Unfortunately..."

"You have the status of a righteous person, but your nature is no different from that of a demon. You are both stupid and evil."

"I think the title of Demonic Heavenly Monarch should be borne by you, Sect Leader Qing Lingzi."

"...What nonsense! How dare you, a demon girl, speak ill of my righteous and prestigious family and tarnish my reputation!"

The purple-robed elder jumped out again and yelled.

But Qing Lingzi himself did not say anything. He seemed to know that the decision he made was not very presentable and felt a little guilty.

Bai Yuan paused, then continued, "Since Sect Leader Qing Lingzi likes to play, I'll play a game with you too. A..."

"A guessing game."

Chapter 94: Transplanting Flowers and Trees, Killing People and Destroying Their Hearts! (Two-in-one, reward for additional chapters 16-17)

"…guess a riddle?"

Everyone in Qingxuan Sect was slightly stunned.

immediately.

Bai Yuan stretched out her palm. A strange-looking insect, shaped like a longhorn beetle, slowly crawled out from her sleeve, along her pure white wrist, and all the way to the tip of her index finger, where it squirmed its tentacles.

Then the second one, the third one...

Each of the insects had a strange appearance, but each one was more colorful than the other, forming a stark contrast with the girl's snow-white skin, and also exuding an extremely dangerous aura:

"The riddle is very simple."

Bai Yuan spoke up, "I have three poisonous insects in my hand right now. They are called the Golden Snake Corpse-Wrapping Gu, the Blood Tide Heart-Eating Gu, and the Six Desires Gu. One of them is the same species as the one in Elder Kong Wen's body..."

"Well, don't get me wrong, we didn't plant this poisonous insect in him. Elder Kongwen accidentally ate it while staying at Yinyue Mountain. He probably felt that the simple food we have on the mountain was too simple and not enough for him."

"Then, please ask Sect Leader Qing Lingzi and the Qing Xuan elders to guess..."

Bai Yuan raised her head and smiled, "Which of these was the poisonous insect that Elder Kong Wen accidentally ate?"

The words have not yet fallen.

Qing Lingzi's pupils shrank slightly and he immediately looked back.

More than a dozen gazes fell and saw Elder Kongwen, who had just been rescued from the jade box, suddenly twitched, and then his whole body began to shake violently like a sieve.

As Kong Wen trembled, his neck, arms, face...anywhere not covered by his clothes, began to show large patches of blood and corpse spots, clearly the signs of a combination of multiple poisons! He even spat out large amounts of black blood from his mouth!

"Elder Kongwen!"

See this.

How could these Qingxuan elders not understand that something had clearly happened to Kongwen's body!

The purple-robed elder had the most violent temper. His eyes were bloodshot at this moment. He immediately turned his head to look at Bai Yuan, a scowl on his face. "A devil is a devil, so insidious and cunning! I had long guessed that you would play tricks on us, but I didn't expect you to do it right under our noses!"

Bai Yuan still smiled: "Same here."

"..."

The purple-robed elder choked for a moment, but then changed the subject, shouting, "If that's the case, then the only way to resolve this crisis is to kill you, the devil, before the poison erupts!"

"kill!!"

Accompanied by the sound of a clear sword.

The purple-robed elder leaped into the air, leading three other Nascent Soul-level elders from the Qingxuan Sect. Like arrows shot from a bow, they charged towards Bai Yuan. The gleams of four longswords intertwined in mid-air, forming a striking "Four Symbols Formation," unleashing a raging storm with astonishing momentum.

Baihu subconsciously wanted to stand up to protect his master, but because he was entangled by the chains, his movements seemed a little slow. Just after he moved a few steps, he was pulled in the air by the remaining seven Qingxuan elders through the formation. As the chains were tightened, there was a rattling sound.

Just a moment's delay.

The four elders of Qingxuan Sect had already rushed to the front, and four long swords stabbed at Bai Yuan from different angles. The huge gust of wind blew her long hair and robes high up, but Bai Yuan just raised her head calmly, looking at the four people in front of her with indifferent eyes, and a faint smile on the corner of her mouth that they could not understand.

"...You're about to die, and you're still trying to be mysterious!"

The purple-robed elder snorted coldly.

next second.

The sword storm formed by the interweaving of four sword lights engulfed Bai Yuan's figure and instantly twisted her into a ball of flesh and blood.

Seeing the demon being slain by them, the purple-robed elders were overjoyed, but then they sensed something was amiss: Although the Blood Kite Demon Lord's cultivation wasn't as strong as before, and he was suppressed by the Soul Locking Formation, theoretically, he was no match for the four Nascent Soul cultivators, but...

It was solved so smoothly, isn't it a bit too easy?

At that moment, some of them seemed to have heard a strange sound, like the sound of something like glass being broken.

"Wow--"

The sound of the jade box shattering was heard.

The purple-robed elders' eyes blurred, and then they saw that the "White Kite" under the sword suddenly disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by an old man who was wrapped in layers of restrictions, entangled and bound by the chains of the "Soul Locking Formation", and even his mouth was sealed!

——Elder Kongwen!

This Kong Wen looked like he was cast from the same mold as the previous one, but he was entangled in restrictions. Although he could clearly see and hear the sounds and images outside, he could not speak. So he could only stand there and watch his body being shredded by the sword energy raised by his fellow disciples!

As the flesh and blood were shattered, blood spurted out like a fountain, some of it falling on the faces of the purple-robed elders!

this moment.

The four people in purple robes all showed astonishment on their faces, and they could hardly believe their eyes.

“…Is it an illusion?!”

"Blood Kite... That devil actually tricked us and accidentally killed his own fellow disciples?!"

but……

How is this possible? !

"Blood Kite" has indeed practiced magical powers related to illusion, and this is information that Qingxuan Sect has obtained long ago.

Not long ago, when the events in the "Yuankong Secret Realm" were causing a stir, the Qingxuan Sect had specially collected relevant intelligence, and analyzed it together with the intelligence brought back by Xiao Qing and Elder Yue. They finally guessed that the "Blood Kite"'s operation of forcing the Tianyuan Sword Sect to retreat was most likely achieved by relying on illusion.

——No matter what, "Blood Kite" was once in the Spirit Transformation Realm. It makes logical sense for it to use its own innate magical power to deceive Baili Qingfeng, who was in the Nascent Soul Realm.

but……

Qing Lingzi is at the level of transformation into a god!

With his cultivation and eyesight, plus the dozen or so Qingxuan elders in this valley, and so many pairs of eyes, they actually couldn't tell that this blood kite was fake?

And if the "Blood Kite" before them was the demon disguised as Elder Kongwen, then what was that Elder Kongwen they had just taken over?!

at the same time.

On the other side of the valley, the "Elder Kongwen," who lay dying on the ground, afflicted by the poison, suddenly stopped trembling. He gently tossed a pale golden dice and then grasped it. The word on the dice changed from "illusion" to "death."

this moment.

There was a faint golden light that flickered under the body of "Elder Kongwen". Then, a circle of gray-white ripples spread out from "his" body, like ripples in a pond, or like a slowly blooming flower!

"……what happened?"

Qing Lingzi was the first to sense something was wrong.

However, due to the obstruction of the four purple-robed men, and his unexpected use of the "transferring" technique by Bai Yuan, he was a moment too slow to react before realizing the unusual aura fluctuations were coming from behind him. After discovering this, he relied on his Spiritual Transformation Realm cultivation, so he didn't retreat immediately. Instead, he focused his cultivation and concentrated on sensing the composition of the gray-white ripples.

Just this.

The Qingxuan Sect Leader's expression changed drastically, with a look of intense horror on his face: "No... everyone, leave him!!!"

Before he finished speaking, Qing Lingzi had already bitten his tongue, turned the blood from his tongue into a sword, and stabbed it at "Elder Kongwen" on the ground.

As blood burst out from the opponent's body, a dark green light also appeared around him. He barely fought against the gray-white ripples for a moment, and then took advantage of this moment of gap to transform into a blazing blood line and flew backwards away from "Kong Wen"!

Lightning fast!!

However, the other elders of Qingxuan Sect did not have such a quick reaction speed as him.

To maintain the formation, the elders stood not too far apart from one another. Elder Kongwen, who had been brought back by the purple-robed elder, was placed roughly in the middle. The original intention was to protect him from the ensuing clash. But at this moment, this practice had become a death warrant for them.

Wherever the gray-white ripples passed, five of the seven people were within forty feet of Bai Yuan. At this moment, they all felt the vitality in their bodies flowing away like turbulent waves!

It was as if there was some terrifying force absorbing their vitality!

"Is this the method used by the Blood Kite Demon?"

"Oh no, run away!"

This was the last thought of several elders of Qingxuan Sect.

Because in the next second, the realm of death was fully formed. With Bai Yuan as the center, everything within forty feet froze in place, then withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Literally "wither."

Whether it was grass, trees, stream fish, rocks... they all disappeared inch by inch in the gray-white ripples.

The Qingxuan Sect elders who were swept by the ripples had frozen expressions at this moment, their bodies and faces became stiff, like ancient corpses that had been dried for thousands of years. When the mountain wind blew, they fell to the ground, and then with a "bang", they and their clothes shattered into pieces, turning into wisps of fine ashes that drifted away with the wind.

"Dang Cang——"

Several long swords fell to the ground.

Also in that brief moment just now, these long swords held by the Qingxuan elders, which were originally of good quality, have become rusty, as if they had been deposited in history for thousands of years!

the other side.

Qing Lingzi, who had already reached the other side of the valley, stopped and looked back with a look of horror on his face.

what happened?

what happened? !

How could the Blood Kite sneak past all of them and appear in that location?!

Why does she still have such means in her hands? !

If he was not mistaken, the power contained in the gray-white ripples just now should be... "the power of law"! !

That's right.

As a powerful being in the Spiritual Transformation Realm, Qing Lingzi naturally understood the concept of "the power of law" and could apply it to some degree, though he wasn't very proficient. But just now, he had clearly sensed a trace of extremely pure "the power of law" from the demon disguised as Elder Kongxu!

It was this kind of power that was able to kill five Nascent Soul Realm elders of Qingxuan Sect in an instant, and even he, who was in the Spirit Transformation Realm, could not escape!

--Yes.

Although Qing Lingzi was the first to sense the danger and the first to distance himself from "Elder Kongwen", or Bai Yuan who was holding the [Nine-Turn Exquisite Dice], he was not safe.

The moment he was swept by the gray-white ripples, the vitality in his body also shrank extremely sharply. Even though he had escaped from the range of forty feet, his body still showed a hint of gray-white. The face that originally had white hair and a childlike face showed a layer of obvious wrinkles and age spots. The whole person seemed to have aged by ten years in an instant!

For cultivators whose lifespan is much longer than that of ordinary people, especially those at the top of the spiritual world who are at the Spirit Transformation Realm, they may appear to have aged by a dozen years on the surface, but the lifespan they have actually lost may be more than 50 years!

This is no longer an injury in the ordinary sense!

But it was enough to make the leader of Qingxuan Sect, who was used to many storms, feel terrified and even seriously afraid!

He even had a terrifying thought: Could it be that the Blood Kite Demon Lord had already broken through to the Return to Void Realm?!

No, that's not right... If she really had reached the Return to Void Realm, then she could have just attacked with open arms and defeated all the Qingxuan Sect elders, including herself, without resorting to so many tricks and schemes.

Moreover, there is a huge chasm between the Spirit Transformation Realm and the Return to Void Realm. Even if Xue Yuan practiced the [Way of Time], theoretically he might gain some insights from the terror of life and death, and thus his cultivation would soar. However, breaking through directly to the Return to Void Realm and mastering the power of the law of "the withering and flourishing of time" so skillfully... that's a bit too much.

So, this is some kind of treasure from a powerful being in the Return to Void Realm?

Was it obtained from the "Yuankong Secret Realm"?

I have to say that Qing Lingzi's mind is quite flexible. In this short moment, he has guessed part of the truth.

But before he could think about it further, he heard——

"Roar!!!!"

The earth-shaking tiger roar exploded.

Because Bai Yuan killed five Qingxuan elders in an instant, the "Soul Locking Formation" that was originally maintained by seven elders was instantly unbalanced. Baihu therefore discovered a gap, suddenly tensed his limbs, and a huge force burst out from his huge body, forcibly breaking most of the dozen or so uncontrolled chains on his body, and then continued to roar and rushed towards Qinglingzi!

Qing Lingzi was still lost in the melancholy of having lost fifty or sixty years of his life for nothing. He unfurled his sleeves, and the pressure of his Spiritual Transformation Realm surged towards White Tiger like a wave, slowing its momentum. He then raised his palms and drew a Tai Chi double fish pattern in mid-air, forming an invisible shield, attempting to stop White Tiger.
