Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 202: Siege of Virtual Beasts
Bixia glanced at Fenyuan who was watching coldly beside her, and said coldly: "I don't care who he belongs to, but as long as I am here, he must come with me!" After saying this, she felt that there was something wrong with what she said, and her cheeks turned slightly red.

Jiang Yuan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty respects Lord Yuan very much. This matter concerns the country. If Lord Yuan obstructs it, Your Majesty will be furious. I hope Lord Yuan will think twice."

Bixia said fearlessly: "Although he has won the world, he will lose the support of the people if he does not implement benevolent policies. The goddess has come down to the mortal world to warn him. As people of the Tao, you do not help him to do good deeds and follow the will of the people. Instead, you mislead him to go against the Tao and harm the people. What is the difference between your Immortal Dao Academy and the evil ways?"

Fen Yuan chuckled coldly and said, "I've heard that Yuan Jun cares about the people and is highly respected. Today, after seeing you, I find that your reputation is well-deserved. I am convinced. How about we join forces now to get rid of this evil in front of us?"

Jiang Yuan stared at Fen Yuan, his expression began to get nervous. As long as Bixia took action, he would have no choice but to run for his life.

Bixia immediately replied: "I just want to take Lord Wuzhan away. As for the feud between you two, I will not get involved." She obviously drew a line between herself and Fenyuan, the real evil one.

Jiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Wuzhan and said, "His Majesty and the Imperial Master have high hopes for your trip. Who you go with depends on your Majesty's opinion." This sentence was soft but sharp. On the surface, it was to seek Wuzhan's opinion, but in fact it was a threat.

Wuzhan smiled and said, "Now our people have been dispersed, and Taoist Ruogu has been seriously injured. We don't know what dangers we will encounter on the road. I am afraid that I can't take care of them all by myself. It is better for me to travel with Yuanjun so that we can take care of each other in case of danger."

This statement hit the nail on the head, leaving Jiang Yuan speechless. Although Bixia was dissatisfied with Jiang Yuan, she could not refute Wuzhan's suggestion, so she had to acquiesce. Fenyuan saw that there was no chance of staying here, so he disappeared in a flash.

After Fenyuan left, Jiang Yuan came to Ruogu and asked about his injuries. Miaoxin was overjoyed to see Wuzhan again, and introduced the three fellow disciples from Taishan to Wuzhan. Wuzhan greeted them one by one. Miaohui was tall and slender, Miaolan was plump, and Miaomei was delicate. Although their looks were not as gentle as Miao's, nor as pure and elegant as Bixia, they were all rare beauties.

Seeing Miaoxin's joy, Bixia could tell from her disciple's feelings. However, spiritual practice requires a clear mind and few desires. Once one is moved by emotions, it will be difficult to achieve the right result. Although she was unhappy, she could not warn her disciple in person. For a moment, she became the ignored person. She didn't know what to do. She looked at Wuzhan as if nothing had happened, but she felt a different feeling in her heart.

After the disciples finished introducing themselves, Bixia said to Wuzhan, "Sir, can you please speak further?"

Wuzhan said, “Wuzhan had the same idea!” and followed Bixia towards one of the cave entrances.

Away from everyone's sight, Bixia turned around and said to Wuzhan, "Miaoxin has reported to me what happened. I wonder how you plan to deal with the evil demon here?"

Wuzhan said, "Of course I want to fulfill my master's last wish, but from what Mayor Xu said, there is another hidden story involved, involving the heaven and a mysterious organization. Since they can't do it, it is conceivable that this evil demon is not so easy to get rid of." He then narrated the history he learned from Mayor Xu to Bixia.

After hearing this, Bixia thought for a while, frowned slightly and said, "Xu Shi has a high level of cultivation and knows a lot of secrets. He is definitely not a simple person. You can't believe everything he said in order to make you absorb the wronged souls here." After a pause, she continued, "I wonder why only you can control the five-colored stone, but Xu Shi can't?"

Wuzhan sighed: "I can't figure this out either. Maybe it has something to do with my special physique."

Bixia suddenly remembered something, took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve, handed it to Wuzhan and said, "According to Miaoxin's observation, I made some changes to the medicinal materials and hastily refined a few pills. You can try again, sir."

Wuzhan looked at the porcelain bottle in Xian's hand, but did not take it. He bowed and thanked her, "I am very grateful to Yuanjun for sending Miaoxin down the mountain to deliver medicine and protect me. This medicine is very precious, but it is a waste to use it on Wuzhan. I appreciate Yuanjun's kindness."

Bixia showed rare shyness and said softly: "My lord, you saved my life and helped Miaoxin obtain the divine fire, which greatly improved my cultivation. How can the few pills I refined compare with you? If you don't accept them, I will have to throw them away. After returning to the mountain, I will refine them again and give them to you." It was the first time that she did not call herself "poor Taoist".

Wuzhan knew Bixia's character, so he took the porcelain bottle, bowed and said, "Thank you, Yuanjun!" Then he took a pill under Bixia's gaze.

Bixia said, "Before I left, I informed Huangshan Yunmeng Zhenren of this matter and asked him to come and eliminate the evil demon together. However, I was in a hurry to come in and did not wait for him. I guess he will be here soon."

Wuzhan didn't expect Bixia to invite Yunmeng. As everyone knows, Huangshan is the leader of the famous and upright sects. Yunmeng is highly respected and his cultivation is unfathomable. If he can help, there is a great possibility of getting rid of the evil demon. He immediately thanked him: "Thank you, Yuanjun, for inviting Yunmeng to help!"

"If getting rid of the evil demon is also a good deed for the world, I and Yunmeng will certainly do our part." Then he changed the subject, "However, I have to remind you that if you help Xu Shi absorb the wronged souls and create the undead warriors, I will never forgive you!"

Wuzhan said: "Even if I die together with that evil demon, I will not let Mayor Xu succeed."

"I feel relieved after hearing your words!" He paused and said, "When I came here, I found that many people also came here. Do you know how they knew about this?"

Wuzhan said: "I secretly spread the rumor, intending to attract powerful cultivators to stop Xiandaoyuan from absorbing the undead."

Bixia said seriously: "If the cultivation world knows about this, it may not be what you think. The situation will become more complicated and cause unnecessary trouble."

"If not, how can I defeat those people from Xiandaoyuan by myself?"

"Then why didn't you chase Jiang Yuan away just now?"

Wuzhan said sadly: "You don't know, Yuanjun, Xu Shi is also nearby. If we offend them, it will endanger your sect, and the loss will outweigh the gain. I am not afraid of life or death. At worst, I will just leave. They can't do anything to me." Bixia looked at the thin Wuzhan with a flashing look in her eyes. She felt sad. Such a handsome young man was dying, and she tried her best but couldn't help him. It was a pity.

……

Jiang Yuan has learned from Ruogu that Qingyang might be swallowed by the virtual beast in order to protect Wuzhai. Although Jiang Yuan has doubts, there is no need to ask in detail. These people who joined the Xiandao Academy only have a common goal and are indifferent to other things.

Although Ruogu was seriously injured, it did not affect his walking. He walked side by side with Jiang Yuan and followed behind the team.

The thick fog emitted a faint red light, and the water drops adhering to the cave wall seemed like drops of blood. All the lights were extinguished by the damp fog, but fortunately one could see the road strewn with corpses under one's feet. The hostility was so heavy that it was hard to breathe, as if a huge rock weighed thousands of pounds was pressing on the chest. A faint call was always echoing in one's ears, but everyone knew that it was an illusion, so they concentrated, held their breath, and walked with caution.

As soon as they walked into an open space, the sound of "Puff..." wings breaking through the air exploded from above. In an instant, a group of countless bat virtual beasts flew around the crowd, circling and running around, screaming. It was obvious that this was their nest.

This is the only way to the location of the evil demon. There is no way to retreat. As soon as everyone set up their formation and surrounded Wuzhai, ferocious virtual beasts pounced on them from all directions and a fierce battle was instantly ignited.

Colorful lights were flying, screams were like waves, and the killed virtual beasts fell around the team one after another. Green light was flying in balls. Even Jiang Yuan could not stand idly by. He swung his sword and chopped the attacking virtual beasts.

Bixia cleared the way in front of the formation, the long sword in her hand blossomed into a huge green lotus, and wherever the sword light went, virtual beasts flew across. Miaoxin was beside the barrierless one, and was able to condense the sword in his hand like Jiang Yuan, but the blue sword light was less than ten feet long, but it was more than enough to deal with the virtual beast.

Just as the team was fighting their way through a path and advancing in the direction indicated by Wuzhan, a huge black shadow came roaring from the front with a trembling sound.

Seeing the black shadow coming, Bixia swung her sword and stabbed out a "Sunrise Soaring" move. The green light was as fast as lightning and hit the black shadow. "Bang..." The green light exploded and the space was as bright as day.

Bixia's jade-like face turned pale. After the giant beast was hit by her unstoppable sword, only a palm-sized black hole was pierced through its huge body, but the beast was not killed.

The giant beast was at least three meters tall and looked like a giant ape. Its entire body was covered with wet black hair. Its arms were as thick as a man's. Its eyes were red like fire, its lower jaw protruded forward, and its huge mouth had four protruding long fangs on the upper and lower parts. It looked ferocious and vicious.

The only pleasing thing about this giant beast is that it does not have that disgusting ghost face, but its ferocity is unmatched by other virtual beasts. After being hit, the giant beast just paused, roared, leaped up angrily, and swung its giant arms to smash towards Bixia.

If Bixia dodges this attack, the disciples behind her will be injured and the formation will be disrupted. She bit her thin lips, flew into the air, swung the green sword and used the "Dai Shi Gan Dang" move. "Bang..." The giant arm hit the green light curtain with a loud bang and green light bursting out. Bixia unloaded the huge force and held the giant arm with the sword in her hand.

The giant beast was furious, and swung up its other giant arm, roaring and falling down. Bixia was surrounded by a bright green light, and her figure flashed, dodging the giant palm that was smashing down, and suddenly appeared on the giant palm, swinging a green light towards the giant arm.

With a "puff" sound, the long sword sank into the giant arm, but suddenly stopped and failed to cut it off. The giant beast felt pain, roared and swung away the giant arm, trying to lift Bixia away.

Bixia quickly withdrew her sword, her graceful figure tumbling in the air, and she lightly dodged the two giant palms that were coming at her. Ever since she took the Luan blood, her cultivation had reached the peak of a wandering immortal. Although this giant beast was ferocious, there was no way it could catch her.

The virtual beast in the sky was still madly pouncing on the team behind Bixia, leaving Miaoxin, Jiang Yuan and others no chance to breathe. If they couldn't kill the giant beast quickly, they would not be able to hold on. Thinking of this, Bixia flew on the green lotus, leaped into the air, and split the virtual beast that was pouncing on her. The long sword flashed with momentum, and a green rainbow pierced the giant beast's face.

How could the giant beast dodge this lightning-fast attack? With a "bang", green light exploded in its face, black liquid splashed, and the entire facial skin was gone, leaving only white bones.

But the giant beast did not fall down, but became even more angry. Although it had lost its fierce eyes, it knew Bixia's location and swung its arms to smash Bixia who was still falling.

"Swoosh..." A two-meter-wide red light flew through the air and cut off all the virtual beasts it encountered. Bixia was about to swing her sword again, but when she heard the wind, she dodged immediately. The red light cut off the giant beast's head like cutting tofu, "Puff..." Dirty blood and green ghost faces gushed out.

The red light drew an arc and turned into a red flag, flying back along the same path. It was caught by a middle-aged man with broad shoulders and a strong body, who stood beside him. The man was wearing a dark red robe and a seven-star crown on his head. He had thick eyebrows, sparkling eyes, and a beard as thick as needles. He just stood there in silence, yet he exuded a mighty and domineering aura.

Just by looking at this flying strike, one can tell that this person's cultivation is already above Bixia. The world of cultivation has never heard of a person with such strength.

While everyone was still in amazement, red petals began to flutter in the cave, and the rich floral fragrance immediately filled the entire space.

The petals were just dancing, and the body of the virtual beast could not stop it from dancing. The virtual beast was full of holes, emitting green light, and fell to the ground with a thud. In an instant, not a single one was left, and the ground was filled with animal corpses.

"Master Wuzhan, we meet again!" A silver bell-like laughter rang out in the space, and a snow-red flower fell into Wuzhan's palm.
