The villain killed the master. What? I am the master!

Jiang He is not a rookie.

How could he help Mu Shuyi rescue Qiao Qiao at all costs just because he was attracted by her beauty?

"Feng Yi, bring out your Demon-Slaying Sword!"

Jiang He touched the head of the blonde girl in his arms and spoke softly.

"Demon-Slaying Sword?!"

Mu Shuyi exclaimed.

The Demon-Slaying Sword, as a fifth-rank Taoist weapon, naturally enjoys a great reputation in the world of cultivation.

It should be understood that the Mu family's Heaven-Changing Realm is only a fourth-order spiritual treasure.

Such a huge immortal sect only has two Taoist artifacts.

However, the Taoist weapons that still exist in the world have all experienced the most brutal battles in the world of cultivation at the hands of their owners. Most of them are damaged, especially after the death of their owners, they have lost their spirituality.

Feng Yi's Demon-Slaying Sword is no exception.

It belongs to a giant who stands between the Age of Immortals and the Age of Totems. His name is Lord Dangmo, and his cultivation is at the level of a god.

Feng Yi's eyes moved, as if she remembered something, and she hesitantly took out her kitchen knife:

"Jiang He, but the Demon-Slaying Sword is so damaged, can it really be useful against the Soul-Eating Bug?"

A mysterious little girl immediately looked away in disappointment.

If it were a Taoist weapon in its prime, it would be more than enough to deal with the soul-eating insects.

But this Demon-Slaying Sword is as broken as a kitchen knife, how powerful can it be?
"You just need to inject spiritual power, awaken the Demon-Slaying Sword, and unleash its power." Jiang He said in a deep voice, full of confidence.

"Um……"

Fengyi's hands were sweaty. At this moment, the lives of everyone on the boat seemed to be in her hands.

It's inevitable to feel stressed.

"Om-"

Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, the magic light of the Demon-Slaying Sword shone...

Then there is no more then.

It was ordinary, without the earth-shattering fluctuations imagined.

Before they could feel disappointed, the soul-eating insects all over the mountains outside the spirit boat seemed to have encountered their natural enemies. They panicked and scattered, turning into black clouds and rushing back into the secret realm frantically.

"really……"

Feng Yi, who was nervous before, seemed to have figured something out.
"Taotie was killed by the Devil-killing Heavenly Monarch! Those teeth are actually the teeth of Taotie!"

No wonder, when she got the Demon-Slaying Sword, she found a tiger tooth in the small world inside the sword.

This tiger tooth looks very much like the teeth of the legendary Taotie, but Fengyi is not sure.

"That's right, Lord Demon-Subduing used the Demon-Subduing Sword to personally slay Taotie here!"

Jiang He nodded. In the original text, after Feng Yi died, the Demon-Slaying Sword finally fell into the hands of Lin Chi. He accidentally came to this place and was in a desperate situation, but unexpectedly, the Demon-Slaying Sword saved his life.

Afterwards, it was discovered that the Demon-Slaying Sword's blade energy had lingered on the Taotie's corpse. The Soul-Devouring Insect was deeply affected when it devoured the Taotie's corpse, leaving behind a fear that was engraved deep in its soul.

"call--"

Feng Yi collapsed in Jiang He's arms, gritting her teeth and saying in disbelief,
"Even if you know that Taotie was killed by the Demon-Slaying Sword, how can you be sure that the Soul-Eating Insect is afraid of the Demon-Slaying Sword's aura?"

Thinking of this, Fengyi felt even more frightened and a chill ran down her spine.

Jiang He was so bold that he arbitrarily assumed that the Soul-Eating Insects that devoured Taotie would be afraid of the Demon-Slaying Sword just because the Sword had killed Taotie.

You know, she is the owner of the Demon-Slaying Sword, and she didn't even think about it in this way!
Moreover, since the death of Lord Subduing Demons, he was the only one who had come into contact with the Demon Subduing Sword.

Logically speaking, Jiang He should know nothing about the Demon-Slaying Sword, right?
She was still waiting for Jiang He's explanation, but to her surprise, Jiang He looked innocent:
"Of course I guess..."

hateful.

Fengyi's eyes were about to spit fire.

This bastard, is he overwhelmed by lust?
When he saw Mu Shuyi's beauty, his mind was impulsive and he risked his life to help her save Qiao Qiao!
"Minxin, quickly teach your master a lesson! Sooner or later, he will die because of a woman, and it will even implicate us!"

Feng Yi pouted, knowing who Jiang He's nemesis was, and she reported him to the silver-haired girl.

Unexpectedly, both Bai Minxin and Jiang Yuanxia looked normal.

The silver-haired girl shook her head with a complicated expression:
"Feng... ahem, Sister Yi, you misunderstood. The big bad guy is not that kind of person. He must have a plan in mind, but he just can't tell us."

Bai Minxin felt a little regretful. Why did she call Fengyi "sister" when she was bored?

So much so that she is now feeling uncomfortable all over, but she still has to pretend.

"what?"

Fengyi's eyes widened. What kind of magic potion did Jiang He feed them?

Even though they had just experienced a life-threatening situation, they still had full trust in this eccentric Jiang He.

Xi Rujian smiled bitterly and said,
"I have underestimated Daoist Jiang after all... Sometimes, I really doubt that Daoist Jiang knows everything."

He naturally believed what Bai Minxin said.

Jiang He is definitely not a lustful person.

The two have collaborated many times, and after so many contacts, he felt that Jiang He was more and more unfathomable.

It seems that there is nothing in the world that he doesn't know.

A mysterious brown-haired girl raised her eyebrows, her eyes somewhat suspicious.

This guy has a weird smell.

Do you really know everything?

She suddenly thought of the fire again. Could it be that it was not a coincidence that she had taken the fire from the ancestor of the Ye family before?
That’s right…all his plans at that time were aimed directly at the ancestor of the Ye family.

The brown-haired girl even suspected that he knew the locations of all the fires.

She had always had a strong desire to explore Jiang He. After secretly observing Jiang He for several days, she found that more and more things confused her.
Unlike these two people, Mu Shuyi's long eyelashes trembled slightly and her mind was in a daze.

This lecher... is he really so attracted by her beauty?
I didn't expect this person to be so lustful...

But when she thought that it was because of her beauty that fascinated Jiang He, she felt extremely complicated.

It's so complicated that there's a strange hint of pride and honor.

Of course, if Jiang He knew what she was thinking in her heart, he would have to say: Madam, you think too much.

"Let's go into the secret realm. Remember, the Demon-Slaying Sword can only scare away the Soul-Eating Insects. It's just a scare. If you anger them, the result will be hard to predict."

Jiang He reminded solemnly, and at the same time, gave Jiang Yuanxia a look without making any expression.

The black-haired girl nodded in understanding, her powerful spirit secretly monitoring everyone on the boat.

Avoid accidentally angering the soul-eating insect.

Especially the brown-haired girl, she always suspected that there was something wrong with this girl.

But over the past few days, the brown-haired girl has been well-behaved and hasn't revealed a single flaw.

Jiang Yuanxia began to suspect that perhaps, even the girl herself didn't know that there was something wrong with her?

"call out--"

The Boundary-Breaking Boat sank into the dark purple vortex.

After passing through the narrow whirlpool, the view widens.

A blood-red world appeared before everyone.

And in this small world, there is only one building: the bone altar.

At this moment, the white bones that made up the altar were densely packed with soul-eating insects. They flapped their wings in fear and trembled in the bones.

"Where's my daughter?"

Mu Shuyi looked around the small world anxiously, but could not see anyone.

But fortunately, no signs of fighting were seen either.

"You'll have to ask Elder Ye about this."

Jiang He sneered.
"Aren't you curious about how Ye Ge knows about this small world?" The first person to react to his words was the little brown-haired girl. She narrowed her eyes slightly and felt that Jiang He was more mysterious.

If she remembered correctly, Ye Ge was an elder of the Xuanying Immortal Sect. He used to be far away in the Xuanying Region, which was tens of thousands miles away from the Zhuming Region.

But why does Jiang He seem to know Ye Ge so well?
"Ye Ge..."

Xi Rujian pondered, and recalled a rumor in the sect.

“It is said that the mysterious immortal who forged the magic sword was once a fellow disciple of the Heavenly Monarch Dangmo, but they later parted ways… If the rumor is true, the Xuanying Immortal Sect may know some of the Heavenly Monarch Dangmo’s secrets and find the Taotie Secret Realm.”

Fengyi suddenly understood.

No wonder... Ye Ge came to Zhu Mingyu, ostensibly to summon Xiao An back to the sect.

But the question is, what virtue and ability does Ye Ge have to make Xiao An listen to him?
Besides, if the Xuanying Immortal Sect really wanted Xiao An to return to the sect, there is a better way.

For example, Xiao An was followed by a protector who was a Yuanying Zhenjun, and this protector was one of the ancestors of the Xuanying Immortal Sect.

The ancestor could easily bring Xiao An back to the sect.

But if Ye Ge was not doing this for Xiao An, but was actually trying to secretly investigate the whereabouts of Lord Demon-Subduing, then everything would make sense.

Xi Rujian also thought of this, and he sighed:

“No wonder not long ago, Xuanying Immortal Sect secretly sent four Ningdan Zhenren and one Yuandan Zhenren to Cangzhou to assist our sect. It seems that their purpose is actually to find the relics of Tianjun Dangmo.”

Mu Shuyi was confused after hearing this. With tears in her eyes, she eagerly pulled Jiang He's sleeve:
"Then...why did Ye Ge disappear?"

This intimate action made Xi Rujian frown, but thinking of the scene in Lingzhou before, he turned his head away helplessly and pretended not to see it.

Perhaps, even Mu Shuyi herself did not realize that she had become accustomed to being the first to ask Jiang He for help, and had also become accustomed to physical contact with him.

"Good question. There is nothing in this secret place. Where do you think he could be?"

Jiang He curled the corners of his lips. This woman's nutrition was really in the wrong place.

Meanwhile, his disciples had all gathered around the altar, looking alert.

If the altar hadn't been filled with soul-eating insects, they would have cut the altar open long ago.

"Good! What a great Jiang He! No wonder you have a disciple like Jiang Yuanxia!"

A loud laugh sounded from the altar.

"Boom——"

The altar roared and split into two sides.

Ye Ge, dressed in a green shirt, stared at the crowd sinisterly.

At his feet, there were two unconscious people lying, they were Chen Ge and Qiao Qiao!

"Elder Ye, I didn't expect that you are still alive." Jiang He smiled.

"The Xuanying Immortal Sect uses swords to contain souls. As long as the sword is not destroyed, the people will not die. I was lucky to escape from your hands."

Ye Ge sighed and said sadly,

"But I didn't expect that I would fall into your hands today!"

Jiang He narrowed his eyes slightly. He had found it unbelievable when he heard that Ye Ge was still alive.

After hearing his explanation, I couldn't help but sneer.

First, he saw with his own eyes that Ye Ge’s true spirit dispersed into countless points of light and his soul flew away.

Second, the Xuanying Immortal Sect's technique of using swords to contain souls is definitely not as magical as he said.

If he could really be reborn in this way, how could Yuan Xia not notice something unusual after the magic sword discovered Xiao An's consciousness?
Xi Rujian hadn't noticed anything was wrong yet, so he quickly consoled her:
"Don't worry, Brother Ye. Daoist Jiang is here to save you."

Seeing Jiang He sneer, he bowed to Jiang He and said:

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, you may not know that Elder Ye's wife and daughter were killed by Xiao An. He has a deep hatred for him. He promised us to keep it a secret."

"Ugh--"

Ye Ge sighed and said in a desolate voice,

"When Xiao An was young, his parents died. My Taoist companion was entrusted by the sect master to take care of his daily life. But unexpectedly... this person was extremely cold-blooded. Because my Taoist companion didn't intend to rebuke him, he directly drew his sword and killed my wife and children! Ye Ge, thank you, fellow Daoist Jiang!"

As he spoke, he bowed and his eyes filled with tears.

not right...

There was a ripple in the brown-haired girl's wine-red eyes.

She was still thinking, but Jiang He said in a shocking voice:

"Master Wuxiang, how long are you going to keep pretending?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

Ye Ge's eyelids twitched: "What do you mean, Brother Jiang? According to what you said before, if I am not Ye Ge, how can I know about this secret place?"

Jiang He smiled faintly: "If I don't say that, how can I let you come out of this altar?"

"Zheng!"

At the same time, soul light flashed, and the moment Ye Ge was suppressed, an extreme golden sword light penetrated Ye Ge's crown.

"boom--"

Ye Ge's body fell to the ground with a thud. It was dealt with cleanly and neatly without alarming the soul-eating insects on the altars on both sides.

Afterwards, this seemingly living corpse quickly turned into a pool of mud and water.

A wisp of black soul suddenly fled away.

"Soul-shocking bell!"

Jiang He let out a low cry, and bells appeared in his pupils.

An invisible sound wave passed by, and the black soul suddenly froze in the air, unable to move forward or backward.

The Soul-Shocking Bell is called the Soul-Shocking Bell for a reason.

Then, the black-haired girl held up a talisman and recorded the black soul into it.

"Master!"

Jiang Yuanxia presented the talisman with both hands and said respectfully.

The twisted black soul struggled in the talisman, but to no avail. He shouted:
"Jiang Yuanxia, ​​as the Holy Son of the Good Law Hall, how dare you collude with the Qingyang Immortal Sect!"

The girl said nothing. After Jiang He took the talisman, she stood by in silence.

It turned out...it was the legendary Jiang Yuanxia.

The brown-haired girl had been a little unsure until this moment, when she finally confirmed her guess.

She couldn't help but feel even more wary of this casual cultivator named Jiang He.

Jiang He stared at the black soul in the talisman.

This is not the real body of Wuxiang Zhenren. How could a dignified Taidan Zhenren be captured so easily?

It's just a fragment of the soul.

But the loss of this soul was also a tragic loss for Master Wuxiang.

"It is worthy of being the legendary Wuxiang Divine Art."

Jiang He praised, he looked at the talisman,

"The Xuanying Immortal Sect does have the technique of using swords to contain souls. You devoured the soul in Ye Ge's sword, gained some of his memories, and then used someone else's power to replace him. Is that right?"

The dark soul was silent for a while, then grinned and said:
"Ha, I didn't expect you to seize the divine sword. Once I tell the world, you will be shattered without any action!"

"Then I'll wait."

Jiang He pinched the talisman, and a flame ignited at his fingertips, burning the soul of Wuxiang Zhenren alive.

His heart was heavy.

But fortunately, Master Wuxiang still wanted to continue disguising himself as Ye Ge, and his little doll was intact.

He felt a little stressed. He missed his little doll very much. Her stress-relieving ability was first-rate... (End of this chapter)
