Chosen One, how did I end up as the villain?

Kukai instantly looked terrified and exclaimed in panic:

"Yes, it was Senior Brother Kongzhi who protected us. When the three of us were fighting, he knew he was no match for Qin Huaiyu, so he took the opportunity to let the two of us escape and told us that our sect would send someone. We were told to tell them everything that happened here."

The argument was clear and logical, and the two seemed very frightened and cautious, which didn't seem like they were lying.

Kong Xuan's malevolent aura intensified, and he shouted:

"Where is Qin Huaiyu?"

Kukai breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had been granted a pardon.

"Master, that damned brat is no longer in town. I heard he killed someone from Mo Yuntian the day before yesterday, and fearing revenge, he ran off to Jian'an City yesterday!"

"Demon Cloud Sky!"

Kong Xuan raised an eyebrow, quite surprised.

"That Qin Huaiyu is really courting death, daring to provoke even the people of Mo Yuntian."

"This kid's got some skills!"

Yan Tu, standing to the side, sneered:

"They're just not smart enough to dare run off to Jian'an, which is my Yan family's territory, hehe, what do you think, Master?"

Kong Wu nodded, then looked at the two people beside him.

"Since you are junior brother Kongzhi's people, then you shall follow this humble monk from now on!"

"Thank you for taking us in, Master, but we cannot leave this place yet!"

"Oh?"

Kongwu narrowed his eyes. "Why?"

Kong Hai hurriedly said, "We haven't found what Senior Brother Kong Zhi is looking for yet. We must fulfill his last wish. Besides, we can keep an eye on the town while we're here, so that if Qin Huaiyu returns, we can inform the Master as soon as possible!"

Kong Xuan thought about it and realized that it was true. The Seed of Heaven was something the mountain needed and it had to be found. Also, although Qin Huaiyu had gone to Jian'an, it was only a rumor and could not be confirmed.

"Very well, then you two shall stay here. If anything happens, inform this humble monk immediately!"

After saying that, he flipped his hand, and a yellow talisman appeared.

"This item is called the True Spirit Talisman. Once used, this humble monk will receive a message and rush here as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Kukai quickly accepted it and said:

"Thank you so much for the gift, Master. We will do our utmost to help you."

"That would be for the best. Do your jobs well, and this humble monk will not treat you unfairly. But if you dare to have any disloyal intentions, then you have no reason to exist!"

Kong Xuan's eyes flashed with killing intent, and his aura suddenly surged.

"Bang bang"

With a muffled thud, the two were instantly forced to their knees by the terrifying aura, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

"Master...we dare not..." the two men said, their veins bulging and their faces flushed.

Seeing that he had intimidated Yan Tu enough, Kong Xuan withdrew his aura and turned to look at Yan Tu, saying:

"Let's go back to Jian'an!"

After saying that, the two walked out of the hall.

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Kong Hai and Kong Jie stood up simultaneously, their lips curling into smiles, and said in unison:

"That old monk has quite a few thoughts on his mind!"

.............

On the carriage

The atmosphere had quieted down, and perhaps due to waking up early and the fatigue from the bumpy ride, all three of them drifted off to sleep.

The old Taoist priest and Li Chengye were leaning against each other in a very intimate manner; an outsider might have thought they were both homosexuals.

Qin Huaiyu felt a bit embarrassed and looked down at Yun Suyan lying on his lap. She was lying on her side with her legs slightly bent, exposing her round buttocks.

A pair of snow-white rabbits were quite restless as the carriage swayed.

Looking at that face again, it was as white as jade, with soft, red lips that were glistening with moisture—both adorable and... .

This woman really doesn't guard up against me at all!

But I'm not Liu Xiahui!

Qin Huaiyu smiled wryly, and with the spirit of "a fool wouldn't take advantage of a good deal," he glared at her fiercely, then suppressed his impulse and pondered what had just happened.

Fortunately, I left behind the Kūkai and Kūjō as a precaution, otherwise someone else would have suffered, and I would have been in danger because of the unknown.

However, it was quite unexpected that the Yan family had a connection with Wuliang Mountain.

Judging from their conversation, Kong Xuan's visit this time was not only about Kong Zhi's death, but also seemed to have a bigger plan.

Ah, if only the Blood Spirit Worm had intelligence, I wouldn't have to separate my thoughts to control it. That way, I could stay by the old man's side and find out more information.

such a pity!

Qin Huaiyu had conducted numerous experiments and found that people controlled by the Blood Spirit Worm, apart from having autonomous physiological abilities, had to rely entirely on human attention to control them.

However, a person's energy is limited, and it is impossible to do two things at once. This is why he left the two puppets behind.

Anyone with half a brain would know there's something wrong with something like this that becomes dull and lifeless when it lacks control, let alone Kong Xuan, who would have already turned the two of them into dust.

That would be a big problem.

Well, we can only leave them to keep an eye on the town; it's another kind of protection, since Mo Yuntian's people haven't arrived yet.

Qin Huaiyu tried to comfort himself, but he was still somewhat worried. Judging from the strength that Kong Xuan had just displayed, he was stronger than any cultivator he had encountered before.

The mere pressure was enough to prevent Kong Jie and Kong Hai, both at the Profound Pool Realm, from standing up, demonstrating just how terrifying it was.

Moreover, there's the Yan family, a local power.

Hey!

What kind of life is this? He only has half a day left to live, and his life is hanging by a thread.
