I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

three days later.

Medicine Master Palace.

In the presence of Qin Yao, Ah Hong, and hundreds of disciples of the Pharmacist Palace, Leng Ning was officially promoted to the position of Palace Master.

After receiving the seal of authority, her first order was to promote Xu Xuan to the position of Supreme Elder of the Medicine Master Palace, a position equivalent to that of the Palace Master!
Qin Yao hadn't expected this at all, but under Leng Ning's sincere gaze, he smiled slightly and nodded in acceptance.

In fact, to him, there was not much difference between elder and grand elder.

After all, his authority never came from his position, but from his ability.

To put it bluntly, as long as he still has power, no matter what position he holds, Leng Ning has to listen to what he says.

If they don't listen, just bring in someone more obedient...

Then.

The Medicine Master Palace held a grand celebration, with many disciples gathering together, clinking glasses, and cheering continuously.

However, Qin Yao could still chat with Leng Huichun, but he really had nothing in common with these younger people.

Moreover, wherever he went, the place would fall silent, fully demonstrating the majesty of the Supreme Elder, but also making him even more uncomfortable.

Therefore, before the banquet ended, he took Ah Hong and left early, slowly walking out of the Yaoshi Palace gate.

"I want to go and see Yingzhou."

Just as Qin Yao had a thought and a golden cloud gathered beneath his feet, Ah Hong suddenly turned her head and said.

"Okay, let's go to Yingzhou then..."

As they talked, the somersault cloud streaked across the sky, landing like a shooting star on Yingzhou Island in the sea.

But at that moment, a dazzling blue light suddenly shot out from the sea, carrying a powerful aura, and stopped abruptly in front of the two, manifesting as a figure in blue robes.

"you are?"

Looking at the Azure Emperor before him, Qin Yao asked a question he already knew the answer to.

The Azure Emperor said, "I was your master in your previous life."

Qin Yao blinked and asked, "So it's true just because you say so?"

"If I say so, then it is."

The Azure Emperor nodded slightly, then said, "Zi Xuan... no, Xu Xuan, do you know that you are born with the Seven Killings Destiny, and that the Seven Killings Destiny is destined to make you lonely?"

"I've heard about it," Qin Yao replied.

The Azure Emperor glanced at Ah Hong and said, "If you turn back now, it's not too late."

Qin Yao laughed and said, "As the saying goes, it's better to tear down ten temples than to ruin one marriage."

"You dare to threaten to break up my marriage? Are you my master from a past life, or my enemy from a past life?"

The Azure Emperor calmly said, "Originally, I wanted to help you sever your emotional ties quietly, without letting outsiders know about this."

Unexpectedly, even after reincarnation, Ling Chu was still no match for you. Not only did she fail to sever your emotional ties, but you also disarmed her of the Heartless Sword.

Qin Yao's smile vanished: "So it was you who instigated this!"

"This is all for your own good."

The Azure Emperor said, "It is precisely because we failed that we have now attracted such great trouble."

The Queen Mother of the West foresaw the crisis in the Three Realms through the Heavenly Mirror and followed the clues to find you here.

Therefore, she decided to personally remove the root of love from your body in order to prevent a disaster that would wreak havoc on the three realms.

I had to plead and beg to get you a quarter of an hour, which translates to about a month in the real world.

Qin Yao said seriously, "So, you hope that I can completely sever ties with Bai Yaoyao within this month?"

"It must be so."

The Azure Emperor said, "Going against the Queen Mother of the West will bring you no benefit whatsoever."

Qin Yao laughed and said, "Isn't that too domineering? Is there any reason to talk about it?"

"For a ruler, stability is the most important thing," said the Azure Emperor.

Qin Yao shook his head: "I'm waiting for her to come and cause me trouble."

"You seem very confident?" the Azure Emperor asked in surprise.

"In this world, no one can force me to do something I don't want to do, whether she is the Queen Mother or the Heavenly Emperor," Qin Yao said solemnly.

The Azure Emperor gazed into his eyes and shook his head, saying, "A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger."

Qin Yao said, "Please wait and see."

"Very well." The Azure Emperor nodded slightly, his body suddenly transforming into a blue rainbow and departing: "I'll wait and see how you deal with the Queen Mother!"

at the same time.

Inside the Medicine Master's Palace.

Taotie and the black dragon that had possessed Zhao Yu's body sneaked into the forbidden area together, carefully avoiding anything that might trigger the array barrier, and slowly arrived at the long bridge.

"You've finally arrived."

Beneath the long bridge, within the magma, the Demon Emperor, who was sitting cross-legged in a spiritual palace, suddenly opened his eyes.

Taotie calmly said, "The Medicine Master Palace is holding a celebration for its new palace master, and Xu Xuan is also there, so we didn't dare to show ourselves. We only rushed over as soon as we were completely sure he had left."

The Demon Emperor paused slightly, then asked, "Do you know what day it is the day after tomorrow?"

"A very inauspicious time, the night of the blood moon," Taotie said.

"That's right, this is the perfect time for us to strike back."

The Demon Emperor said, "I've also found a suitable location for you; it's right at Mingxin Lake."

That place is one of the places with the heaviest yin energy in the world; combined with the timing of the weather, it is a deadly place.

Taotie frowned slightly: "Even with favorable timing and location, neither I nor the dragon can defeat him, so what use is it?"

"This brings us to the issue of human factors."

The Demon Emperor said, "On the night of the Blood Moon, Yin and Yang are reversed, and Heaven and Earth are turned upside down. I can use a secret technique to activate the formation here and bless the two of you."

Even the two emperors, Qing and Bai, couldn't escape with this triple advantage of favorable timing, location, and popular support; let alone Xu Xuan.

"Is it really that simple?" For some reason, Taotie felt a little guilty.

The Demon Emperor said, "It's easy to say, but not so easy to do."

For example, how to lure that guy into Mingxin Lake that night was a major challenge.

After all, he seemed to know everything, and his plans were seemingly flawless, making him extremely difficult to control!

After thinking it over and over, Taotie suddenly said, "I have an idea."

"What idea?" the Demon Emperor asked curiously.

"Condensation!"

Taotie said, "I only recently learned that the former master of the Medicine Master Palace was actually the reincarnation of the Hundred Herbs Immortal Lord."

Now that his reincarnation is complete, he has returned to the Immortal Realm. But I'm certain that before he leaves, he will entrust Xu Xuan with the care of Leng Ning.

The Demon Emperor smiled slightly and instructed, "Go and do it. When we succeed, the Demon Race will share the glory with the Dragon Race."

Taotie: "..."

He knew it was just a slogan from the Demon Emperor, but the future depicted in that slogan was the source of his motivation to work hard!

The next day.

Blood Moon Night.

Many disciples of the Medicine Master Palace were drawn to the blood moon in the sky, leaving their houses to gaze up in astonishment. Up in the pavilion...

Hearing the gasps of surprise, the newly appointed Palace Master Leng Ning raised her hand to prop open the wooden window and gazed at the starry sky with her fellow disciples, murmuring, "The appearance of a blood moon is probably more of a curse than a blessing."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly caught a whiff of an unusual fragrance wafting from somewhere. She instinctively sniffed, and her head immediately felt dizzy...

"Oops!"

Feeling the strange sensation in her body, Leng Ning suddenly felt a jolt in her heart and subconsciously took out a wooden talisman from her person.

Before she could crush it, a gust of black wind suddenly flew in from outside the window, forcibly snatched the wooden talisman from her hand, and manifested as the Taotie in the room.

"It's you!"

Looking at the culprit who killed her own father, Leng Ning gritted her teeth and said.

"Now that you've recognized me, why don't you shout for help?" Taotie asked with a half-smile.

Leng Ning gritted her teeth: "What you want me to do must be something that benefits you."

"He's smart enough, but not very useful."

The Taotie chuckled, responded, and then suddenly imitated Leng Ning's voice, shouting, "Help! Help me!!!"

At that moment, the area in front of the pavilion was filled with disciples of the Medicine Master Palace who were watching the Blood Moon. Upon hearing the Palace Master's cry for help, everyone rushed towards the pavilion entrance.

Leng Ning's expression changed drastically. Just as she was about to tell these people not to come up, Taotie appeared in a flash, hoisted her onto his shoulder, forcibly broke through the window, and flew away through the air...

Outside the pavilion, amidst the flying wood, the disciples also noticed this scene.

Unfortunately, they didn't carry swords, nor did they possess the ability to walk on air as if on solid ground. They could only watch helplessly as the birds flew away, leaving only a voice lingering above the courtyard:

"Tell Xu Xuan that if he wants to save your Palace Master Leng, he should go to Mingxin Lake to find me."

The disciples: "..."

half an hour.

It was past midnight.

Qingfeng rode his sword straight to the Bai Mansion by West Lake, panting as he knocked on the door, saying, "Elder, Supreme Elder..."

Deep within the mansion, in the bedroom.

Qin Yao, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly transformed into a golden light and appeared in front of the door in an instant. He opened the door and asked, "What is it now?"

The last time Prince Zhao Yu tried to force Leng Ning to marry him, it was this kid who rushed to the Bai residence to deliver the message. So when Qin Yao saw him now, his first thought was that something had happened.

Sure enough, Qingfeng grabbed his arms and said anxiously, "A demon has kidnapped the Palace Master and specifically asked you to go to Mingxin Lake to find him."

Qin Yao was not surprised but delighted: "They've finally arrived."

Qingfeng: "???"

What does "finally arrived" mean?

"Go back and wait for news. I'm going to Mingxin Lake now." Qin Yao didn't explain anything, waved his hand, and turned to walk back to his residence.

Qingfeng blinked and thought to himself, "Judging from the Supreme Elder's relaxed demeanor, perhaps this isn't a big deal?"

"Shall I go with you?"

Standing under the blood moon in front of the dormitory, Ah Hong spoke firmly.

Qin Yao shook his head: "I feel that the Black Dragon's life force is almost exhausted. I want to try to kill it completely in this battle. If you come with me, it will add a lot of variables and risks."

Ah Hong silently licked her lips and solemnly said, "Then I will wait for you to come back in the manor... It doesn't matter if I can't kill the Black Dragon tonight, you must come back safely."

Qin Yao laughed and said, "Don't worry, unless the Azure Emperor, the White Emperor, the Queen Mother, and those three demonic giants join forces, there's no way they can suppress me!"

Ah Hong nodded: "Have a safe journey."

Qin Yao waved his hand, and his body suddenly transformed into a golden rainbow, disappearing instantly from the courtyard.

Under the blood moon's eerie light.

Mingxin Lake Island.

Wearing a long blue dress, her upper body filthy, Leng Ning was imprisoned in a black iron cage. In the chilling wind, she couldn't help but hug her arms tightly and shiver.

Do you regret it?

Standing in front of the cage, the black dragon turned its head and said, "If you had been determined to follow me down this dark path back then, you wouldn't be suffering like this today."

“My father said that Xu Xuan is the natural enemy of evil spirits. You have repeatedly provoked him, and you will surely perish at his hands in the future,” Leng Ning said indifferently.

Before going to find Qin Yao, Leng Huichun... no, it was Baicao Xianjun who spoke a lot with Leng Ning and explained many things, and this sentence was one of them.

When her father, in his capacity as the Immortal Lord of Herbs, spoke these words with absolute certainty, she believed them without a doubt. At this moment, she looked at the black dragon as if she were looking at a dying man.

For some reason, the black dragon felt a chill run down its spine from her gaze and forced a dry laugh:

"You believe whatever your father says? If he claims to be the Heavenly Emperor, should the Heavenly Emperor relinquish his position to him?"

Leng Ning turned her head away without saying a word.

Suddenly, the Taotie leaped out of the water and landed slowly between the two: "Xu Xuan hasn't arrived yet?"

"No... Is the formation all set up?" the black dragon asked.

"It's all settled. I just hope the Demon Emperor didn't lie to us and can lend us endless demonic power once the battle begins," Taotie said.

"Shh."

Suddenly, a golden divine rainbow pierced through the blood-red clouds and landed abruptly opposite the three, manifesting as a slender figure.

"Xu Xuan!" the black dragon called out, "You've come at just the right time, we were just talking about you."

Qin Yao glanced at the two demons and the cage, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Where is the Demon Emperor? Why are there only two of you lackeys?"

Taotie: "..."

Black Dragon: "..."

"We are not subordinates of the Demon Emperor; we have a cooperative relationship with him," Taotie couldn't help but explain after a short while.

"A cooperative relationship? Are you issuing orders or is the Demon Emperor issuing orders?" Qin Yao asked.

Taotie: "..."

"See, you can't answer that, can you?" Qin Yao said, shrugging.

Taotie took a deep breath, and its hands suddenly transformed into sharp claws, concentrating its power in preparation for a great battle.

They were old rivals, so Qin Yao skipped the probing phase and summoned the Four Fiend Swords. With a thought, the Chaos Sword Domain expanded wildly, quickly enveloping the entire Mingxin Lake.

A demonic light flashed in the black dragon's eyes, and its human form suddenly transformed into its original form, carrying a fierce aura and streaks of electricity. It rose into the air and then swooped down.

If someone with megalophobia saw this scene, their heart would stop in shock.

But Qin Yao had seen far more hideous and terrifying creatures than this, so he remained calm and unperturbed.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

In an instant, two sword gates appeared out of thin air, pouring out endless sword energy like a burst of sand and dust. Under Qin Yao's mental control, this sword energy transformed into two sword dragons, which were also baring their fangs and claws, and soon collided with the black dragon.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..."

Sword energy exploded continuously, thunder roared one after another, and the terrifying aftershocks of the battle spread out, only to be absorbed by the Chaos Sword Domain.

Taotie's pupils contracted slightly, and with a low roar, countless black runes instantly emerged from his body. These runes carried his body through the air, pressing down on Qin Yao like a divine mountain of runes.

With a wave of his hand, Qin Yao opened two more sword gates, unleashing a surge of sword energy that transformed into two sword dragons.

The Taotie, adorned with black runes, clashed head-on with the Sword Dragon. The runes exploded, the sword energy dissipated, and the void cracked continuously, creating a terrifying scene reminiscent of the end of the world.

Unbeknownst to the black dragon and the Taotie, who were locked in fierce battle, the gray mist of the Chaos Sword Domain had silently enveloped the entire island, swallowing up the black iron cage that had stood there... (End of Chapter)
