I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

Zhan Huang spat out a divine pill and placed it at the tip of the sword.

"boom!"

The sword struck the divine pill with tremendous force, two red lights intertwined and flickered, and the void suddenly collapsed.

Zhan Huang's expression changed drastically. He wanted to take back the divine pill, but he saw the pill rapidly explode and eventually collapse completely. He had no choice but to turn around and flee.

Not far away, Taotie saw this and immediately burrowed underground, not even daring to flee in the direction of Zhanhuang.

Qin Yao stood quietly in place, not pursuing any of them. After confirming that they had really left, he opened a dimensional gate with his bare hands and instantly flashed back to the main hall of the Medicine Master Palace.

Inside the main hall.

Leng Huichun and Leng Ning, father and daughter, were talking when they saw him and stood up.

"Sit down." Qin Yao waved his hand and dispelled the light gate behind him.

"Have you found it?" Leng Huichun asked.

Qin Yao flicked his sleeve, and the coffin was immediately flung out; then, supported by immortal energy, it slowly landed from mid-air.

"Master Yuanyi!"

Upon seeing the old Taoist's face clearly, Leng Huichun exclaimed in surprise.

Qin Yao narrowed his eyes: "Is he Li Yuanyi, the master of Fumo Manor?"

Leng Huichun nodded: "Exactly... How did he become the source of the plague?"

With a flick of his finger, Qin Yao sent out a point of light formed from the power of faith, which flew straight into Li Yuanyi's brow.

The light seemed to give him a violent shock. After a spasm, he suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from inside the coffin.

"Master Yuanyi, are you alright?" Leng Huichun asked.

Li Yuanyi let out a long breath and asked in astonishment, "How did I get here?"

“You somehow became the source of the plague, and it was Xu Xuan who saved you,” Leng Huichun said.

Li Yuanyi mustered his strength and stood up from the coffin: "The source of the plague, I remember now, I was ambushed."

"What kind of ambush?" Qin Yao asked.

“I heard from two young men that there was a wine shop whose wine was comparable to the finest nectar in the heavens, so I went to try it. As a result, after drinking the wine, I started to feel dizzy and eventually lost consciousness,” Li Yuanyi said.

Qin Yao: "..."

As expected, the simpler the plan, the higher the success rate. This drugging with alcohol is comparable to murder under the guise of a meeting.

"You must be the legendary doctor Xu Xuan?" Just as he was marveling to himself, Li Yuanyi suddenly clasped his hands in a fist and asked.

"Yes," Qin Yao nodded.

Li Yuanyi said sincerely, "Thank you so much, doctor, for saving me."

"Wait a moment."

Qin Yao raised his hand and then unleashed a burst of faith power at the other party.

"what!"

When the white beam of light touched Li Yuanyi's body, a scream suddenly rang out from within him.

As the beam of light gradually merged into his body, wisps of black smoke were continuously expelled through his pores and completely dissipated into the void.

"Now you can thank me."

After Li Yuanyi's body was completely cleansed, Qin Yao silently lowered his palm and said with a smile.

Li Yuanyi asked in astonishment, "What is this? What was that scream just now?"

Qin Yao explained, "This helps to clear the plague poison from your body, and that scream was the dying wail of the plague demon."

"Plague demon?" Li Yuan gasped, a chill running down his spine.

In other words, before this, a demon had been living inside him!
"This plague in Qiantang is not a normal plague; it originates entirely from this plague demon. Therefore, all the medicinal herbs in the world are ineffective against this plague. As long as the plague demon is not killed, the plague will not end," Qin Yao said in a deep voice.

“Now that the plague demon is dead, the plague…” Leng Ning began.

Qin Yao said, "It will no longer spread, but the damage to the human body will not heal automatically unless treated like Manager Wu."

"That's wonderful, Elder Xu. You not only saved Master Yuan Yi, but also countless lives." Leng Ning said with an almost obsessive gaze.

Qin Yao waved his hand and looked at Li Yuanyi, saying, "You are being targeted by more than one ancient god. I advise you not to leave the Medicine Master Palace before the ancient god calamity is over. There are formations I have set up in this palace, and even ancient gods cannot easily set foot in it."

"Ancient gods?" Li Yuanyi exclaimed in fear, "Ancient deities?"

“An ancient demon god,” Qin Yao said. “If you weren’t still of some use, they would have killed you much more easily than an ordinary person could crush an ant.”

Li Yuanyi: "..."

“Master Yuanyi, Xu Xuan never lies. If he said this, then it must be true. You should stay here to avoid losing your life,” Leng Huichun said.

Li Yuanyi said, "I don't understand. What merit do I, an old man, have to be targeted by an ancient god?"

Qin Yao said, "Then it depends on what you have that the ancient gods would covet."

Li Yuan scratched his head and said, "Besides owning the Demon Subduing Manor, I don't seem to have anything else."

Qin Yao remained silent for a moment, then asked, "What should we do with the demons captured by the Demon Subduing Manor?"

“This…” Li Yuan hesitated.

Qin Yao said indifferently, "I could guess even if you didn't tell me. It must be using their primordial spirits to refine pills. And the primordial spirits of demons were nourishment for ancient demon gods. Do you understand now?"

Li Yuanyi was astonished: "How do you know so much?"

"Read more books," Qin Yao replied simply.

Li Yuanyi: "..."

He's not some ignorant fool!

I have never heard of any book containing this information.

"That's all I have to say. Do you have anything else to say?" Qin Yao asked the three of them in the silence.

"Where are you going?" Leng Ning couldn't help but ask.

Qin Yao smiled and said, "Of course, it's the Bai residence."

Leng Ning: "..."

"Won't my staying here bring disaster to the Medicine Master's Palace?" Li Yuanyi asked.

Qin Yao waved his hand, and his body suddenly transformed into a rainbow and disappeared: "No, if a calamity comes, it is its own misfortune."

Three people: "..."

"That's a really domineering statement!"

After a long pause, Leng Ning spoke from the bottom of her heart.

Leng Huichun said, "Now you know the gap between you and Xu Xuan, right? Give up, you are not good enough for him."

Leng Ning was speechless.

The next day.

News of Xu Xuan saving Li Yuanyi, slaying the plague demon, and ending the plague quickly spread throughout the Qiantang Immortal Realm and began to spread outwards in all directions.

It's hard to say about other places, but in the Qiantang region, many cultivators have changed their address for Xu Xuan from "Divine Healer" to "Immortal Master," and the level of respect and admiration they have for him is incomparable to what it used to be.

at the same time.

Qin Yao, however, was constantly searching for Taotie's trail with Ah Hong, trying to shift from a passive to an active approach.

Previously, he didn't have a strong desire to kill the Taotie and the Black Dragon, since neither of these demons had dared to provoke him. But after the battle at the desolate graveyard, he developed a strong urge to kill...

The reason he was tracking Taotie, and not the other two ancient gods, was because the Plague Demon was created by Taotie, and there was a cause-and-effect relationship between them, which gave him clues to track down.

If the three ancient gods remain inseparable during this process, that would be even better, saving him the trouble of searching for the other two!
Before they knew it, night had fallen, and Qin Yao and Ah Hong followed the scent to a stream.

Looking around, one could see a man with long black hair and raised eyebrows, standing under the bright moon, his hands clasped together, emitting wisps of black energy, pulling a woman's figure out of the stream.

"Spare me, my lord, I didn't mean to!" The woman struggled and pleaded amidst the demonic energy. However, Taotie ignored her pleas and was about to end her life when he suddenly felt a chill rise from the depths of his heart.

Turning around abruptly, they saw two figures approaching from the stream, one of whom was none other than the terrifying being who had nearly killed the three of them!
In an instant, he pulled the woman into his arms and yelled, "Don't come any closer!"

Qin Yao scoffed, "I don't even know her. Are you using her to threaten me?"

Taotie was startled, and then a fierce glint flashed in his eyes. He slammed the woman in his hand against the rocks in the stream.

"Ah~~~"

The woman screamed in panic, her piercing voice cutting through the night sky and awakening many creatures.

Qin Yao raised his hand and pointed, and the woman was suddenly imprisoned in the air. However, the Taotie took advantage of this moment to quickly jump into the water and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Thank you so much for saving my life, my benefactor," the woman said, still shaken, as she looked down at the sharp rocks below.

Qin Yao flipped his palm and used his immortal energy to pull him back, asking, "How did you provoke him?"

The woman smiled bitterly and said, "I overheard him and another ugly young man talking by chance that the Demon Emperor ordered them to go to the alchemy room of the Demon Subduing Manor as soon as possible and take out all the pills there to repair the Demon Emperor's primordial spirit. When I heard this, I realized something was wrong and wanted to leave, but then I was chased by them."

Qin Yao nodded, looking at the other person dressed in red, and asked again, "What's your name?"

The woman quickly replied, "My name is Hongxin."

Qin Yao: "..."

I should have known better than to save her.

This female demon is definitely one of the dumbest monsters in fantasy dramas.

Just a few years ago, she fell hopelessly in love with a young prince who released her into the wild.

Even if the other party is a lecherous fool, even if the other party humiliates him in every way, he will never change his original intention.

In the end, after the young prince died as a result of his own actions, he even committed suicide for her...

"Understood, see you later."

After recalling her life experiences, Qin Yao lost the desire to continue the conversation and waved his hand, saying...

"Wait a minute!" Hongxin called out.

Qin Yao paused slightly: "We still have to rush to catch the demon, so speak quickly."

Hongxin blinked and asked, "Can I follow you?"

Her main concern was that she might run into her enemy again, and she might not be able to be rescued successfully next time.

Qin Yao shook his head: "No."

After saying that, he took Ah Hong and disappeared before the stream...

Hongxin sighed and couldn't help but feel sorry for herself.

But then he thought of another benefactor, and his low spirits gradually rose. He discerned the direction and soon disappeared into the mountains.

early morning.

Qin Yao, along with Ah Hong and the Dawn's Light, appeared in the alchemy room of the Demon Subduing Manor. Looking around, he saw that the room was in a mess, and there were even a few pills on the ground, which showed the panic of the thieves.

"It's a pity we were too late," Ah Hong sighed softly.

Qin Yao felt no disappointment and laughed, "It's just that this black dragon's fate hasn't run out yet. That's how the world works. When its fate hasn't run out, it can always manage to avoid being hunted by some twist of fate and survive a life-threatening crisis. But when its fate runs out, it can even choke to death while eating."

Ah Hong asked curiously, "If that's the case, then what's the point of us chasing after him?"

"Life force is a consumable. Even if it can be regenerated, the speed of regeneration will definitely not be as fast as the consumption."

Especially in the event of a major emergency. When fate cannot contain the crisis, then the mechanism for violent death will be triggered,” Qin Yao responded.

Ah Hong suddenly realized: "Your understanding of destiny and the world far surpasses that of anyone I know."

"Stop praising me, let's go. Let's continue to deplete the Black Dragon's life force. I want to completely drain its vitality," Qin Yao said, beckoning.

West Lake.

Broken bridge.

In the light drizzle, the black dragon waded through the puddles and swiftly crossed the bridge, handing a brocade pouch to the figure standing before it: "I've brought it all."

The slender figure holding the umbrella slowly turned around, revealing himself to be the Demon Emperor in his true form.

"What's wrong? Why are you so flustered?"

A moment later, as he reached out to take the brocade pouch, he asked with a hint of curiosity.

"Xu Xuan is chasing me," the black dragon said with a grave expression.

Demon Emperor: "..."

"Actually, I'm very curious."

After a moment of silence, he said with a very complicated expression, "Given his strength, how did he manage to refrain from killing you back then?"

The black dragon's lips twitched: "Because his original mission was to hunt me down, not to kill me. If it had been the latter, I'm afraid I would have..."

"Ugh."

The Demon Emperor sighed, "Since you know the gap between you, why do you still insist on seeking revenge against him?"

The black dragon said frankly, "At that time, I didn't expect that even if the three of us ancient gods joined forces and set a trap, we still couldn't kill him. He was too ridiculously strong, unlike a human, or even a human from this world."

The Demon Emperor was silent for a moment, then said, "The tide has turned. Be careful from now on."

"Are we just going to do nothing about him like this?" the black dragon asked unwillingly.

The Demon Emperor said, "Yes."

The black dragon was overjoyed: "What method?"

"Help me break the formation inside the Medicine Master's Palace."

The Demon Emperor said, "As long as I can return to the place where I attained enlightenment, I can quickly recover my cultivation with the help of this place."

This place is the forbidden area of ​​the Medicine Master Palace.

Xu Xuan seems to be our natural nemesis. He has set up a very powerful magic array within the Medicine Master Palace, and even I dare not easily take the risk.

The black dragon's smile froze slightly: "If you can't do it, then I certainly can't either, right?"

"I'll tell you how to do it."

The Demon Emperor said, "Force won't work, but we can outsmart her. The eldest daughter of the Medicine Master Palace, Leng Ning, has been in love with Xu Xuan for a long time, but she has never received a response. This is the breakthrough point. You can use this as bait to lure Leng Ning into changing the formation."

The black dragon breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately.

As long as he doesn't have to fight Xu Xuan to the death, that's fine!

After the rain stopped and the sky cleared.

Leng Ning, dressed in a long blue dress, walked briskly out of the Medicine Master's Palace.

She planned to visit the Bai residence again to thoroughly investigate Bai Yaoyao's background.

The father said that he was not good enough for Xu Xuan.

She wanted to know why Bai Yaoyao could get Xu Xuan to marry into her family!
What exactly is the difference between the two of them?

Not long after.

As she hurried along the mountain path, about to enter the town, something suddenly tripped her, causing her to stumble and nearly fall.

He turned around angrily, only to see a blue bottle on the ground, shimmering with a strange light in the sunlight.

"What is that thing that dares to trip me?"

He strode back to the bottle, picked it up, and then slammed it heavily to the ground.

Only by pulverizing her to pieces can the resentment and anger in her heart be dispelled. (End of Chapter)
