Villain Master, my disciples all want to backstab me

As for Ji Tingxue and Ye Shuang'er, they landed on two bronze pillars not far from Bai Yuan and swung their swords to cut at the chains.

Clang, clang——!

Sparks are flying.

Ji Tingxue cut several chains in front of him, and the bound monk, whose bones were already visible, fell into the pool of blood like a broken sack, struggling to get up; on Ye Shuang'er's side, only a few white marks appeared.

"Hiss, so hard!"

"division……"

Before Ye Shuang'er could even ask for help, the Scarlet Sky Sword had already flown beside her. The flaming sword slashed down, severing the chains like a hot knife through butter. The monk chained to the bronze pillar also raised his head from his despair and looked at Ye Shuang'er with a hint of astonishment: "You..."

"We are cultivators from the Tianyuan Sword Sect! We are here to rescue you!"

Ye Shuang'er stumbled as she lied.

——This is the big news that Bai Yuan is going to make.

Saving one person is saving them, saving a group is also saving them. It would be better to create some trouble for the Blood Origin Sect and increase the chances of escaping successfully.

However, for Ye Shuang'er, this act of lying with open eyes was quite challenging. Especially when she was pretending to be a righteous cultivator... The cultivator who was rescued was still exhausted and unable to observe and think normally. Otherwise, he would probably see through Ye Shuang'er's lies in minutes.

At this moment.

Bai Yuan held [Qingfeng Huasha] in his hand, and with his sleeves fluttering, he cut off the chains on Jiang Cheng with two or three sword strikes. Then, under the latter's surprised and alert gaze, he spoke quickly:

"I am Jiang Rao's master. If you trust me, don't do anything. I will reunite you and your brother safely."

"..."

Jiang Cheng opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopped himself.

As Jiang Rao's younger brother and a lucky guy who has survived the hands of the Blood Source Sect until now, he is naturally not very stupid and did not easily believe Bai Yuan's words.

However, due to the physical weakness caused by long-term imprisonment, he did not have the energy to do anything, so he was picked up by Bai Yuan and jumped away in the air.

slam-la-

Almost as Bai Yuan leaped away, the blood pool suddenly began to boil. Countless bubbles burst, forming the shapes of distorted human faces. The veins on the tunnel walls lit up, illuminating the entire space like the interior of a furnace.

Immediately afterwards, chains peeled off from beneath the pool and the surface of the bronze pillars, bursting forth like serpents, attacking Bai Yuan and the others. Because these "serpents" were too numerous and densely packed, even the three-headed monster couldn't stop them all. Many of them reached Bai Yuan and Ye Shuang'er, only to be severed by her two longswords.

Not only that.

Even more ghosts jumped out of the blood pool one after another like mushrooms after rain, gathering densely in the air, and cooperated with the blood pool guards who jumped out from the corners one after another, and began to counterattack more fiercely.

These were clearly the Blood Pool Guard's backup plans. They looked somewhat intimidating, and their actual effects were no different. For a moment, they appeared to be on the verge of a confrontation with the three demonic beasts.

Bai Yuan was not surprised by this. He just held Jiang Cheng in one hand and quickly shouted to Ji Tingxue and the others:

"We can't stay here for long... Make this a quick decision and get out as soon as possible!"

Chapter 182: Come whenever you want and leave whenever you want?

While sending a reminder to Ji Tingxue.

Bai Yuan's mind moved, and he controlled "Chi Xiao" and "Qing Feng Hua Sha" to suddenly leap up. The two swords, one blue and one red, drew two sharp arcs in the air, and then came together to form the shape of a broadsword. It froze above Bai Yuan's head for a moment, and then suddenly swept across!

Swish-! ! !

At this moment, a blazing sword light like a streak of silk appeared once again! !

From the perspective of an onlooker, it was as if they were witnessing a blazing sun rising slowly above the blood pool, its dazzling light illuminating the entire underground space as bright as day. Space and time within a radius of several hundred meters also fell into a momentary stillness!

Until the "circle" is completely formed.

The blue and red swords also fell down because their power was exhausted.

Then, smooth cuts appeared on the bronze pillars. The cuts were slightly tilted, causing the upper half of the bronze pillars to slowly and silently slide down, falling into the pool of blood below. There, as it met the water, a hissing sound was emitted, and white smoke with a fishy smell rose up.

Wow! ! !

A huge splash of water occurred.

The dark red blood wave rose up to more than ten meters high before falling down bit by bit.

Considering the staggering scale of the "Blood Pond Formation," the area affected by Bai Yuan's sword was actually not very large; it only affected a small corner. However, due to the reckless rampage of three demonic beasts nearing the Divine Transformation Realm, the collapse of this small corner quickly expanded, forming a series of chain reactions.

The thick lock chains vibrated and broke one after another.

The monks who were bound by it fell into the water one after another.

Then, most of the blood-colored barrier burst into a crisp sound like shattering glass!

See this scene.

Bai Yuan let out a light breath, and a few drops of sweat appeared on the tip of his nose.

The "double sword combined" sword strike just now used up about 70% of her spiritual power.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of energy consumption wouldn't be too severe, and a little attention would be enough to recover a lot. However, she was still playing the [Netherworld Bone Flute] and controlling the movements of the two great demons with her mind. At this moment, the combined energy consumption caused a sharp pain in her dantian.

But she didn't bother to regulate her breathing. She suddenly clenched the five fingers of her right hand, and the falling Chixiao Sword suddenly turned sharply, repelling a Blood Pool Guard who was waiting for an opportunity to pounce on her.

"Use the white silkworm Gu!"

This so-called Gu is a semi-therapeutic insect. After ingestion, it can stimulate and replenish the user's spiritual energy in a short period of time, temporarily restoring their cultivation to 60% to 70% of their peak. However, the price to pay is that after the outbreak, they will be unable to use spiritual energy for a considerable period of time, and their foundation will be severely damaged.

Belonging is a double-edged sword.

However, for the current situation, there is nothing more suitable for these cultivators than this kind of Gu.

When Bai Yuan made his move just now, he had already communicated his intentions to Ye Shuang'er through voice transmission. He did not call out the little girl's name directly just now because his purpose was to let others guess Ye Shuang'er's identity and then follow the clues from this silly little girl to himself.

But this time, the little girl seems to have a little more IQ:

"Oh!!"

Ye Shuang'er responded and first covered the brim of her hood. The "Golden Lotus Entwined with Snake" pattern on her forehead lit up, and countless small white insects with fluttering wings emerged from her cuffs, flying to all around and to the monks who fell into the water, and drilled into their mouths, noses, and ears.

——For Ye Shuang'er, who possesses the "innate Gu pattern", it is not difficult to transform the poison in her body into these Gu worms.

As the insect enters the body.

These monks, who had already become extremely weak due to the torture of the Blood Source Sect, all began to regain their vitality.

Bai Yuan even raised his hand and threw out a jade slip, which shattered in the air. The swords and knives inside the jade slip fell down and were picked up by those monks.

As soon as she finished all this, Bai Yuan's heart trembled. She vaguely felt an extremely powerful aura rising from several kilometers away and rapidly approaching her current location.

The aura was too strong, like a bucket of cold water poured over the heads of Bai Yuan, Ji Tingxue and the others, causing alarm bells to ring in their hearts and their temples to throb violently. This was definitely not the kind of pressure that a Nascent Soul cultivator, or even an ordinary Divine Transformation cultivator, could possess. Instead, it was...

(Is it him?!)

A terrifying thought emerged in Bai Yuan's mind.

Then, she made a prompt decision:

"Walk!!"

The clear female voice echoed in the enclosed space.

In reality, even if nothing else had happened, Bai Yuan was already ready to leave. However, this sudden warning made her even more anxious. She immediately issued orders to Bai Hu through the [Heart Ring], and the sounds of the [Netherworld Bone Flute] also became more rapid.

Although it is not entirely certain who the owner of this energy is, it is certain that the other party is not a character who can be easily dealt with.

If it was a one-on-one duel, Bai Yuan could try to play with the opponent, after all, Ying Bao was also in the Spirit Transformation Realm.

But since the Blood Origin Sect's high-ranking officials had noticed the situation, reinforcements from the Blood Origin Sect might arrive soon. If Bai Yuan was held back by them, even if he had three heads and six arms, it would be difficult for him to escape.

now.

Following Bai Yuan's loud shout, Baihu leaped over.

First, it grabbed Bai Yuan with its mouthful, then whipped its whip-like tail hard, severing two dangling chains, and then its front paws precisely grasped the back of Ye Shuang'er's collar. Ji Tingxue reacted extremely quickly, leaping up at the moment the white tiger pounced and grabbing the fur on its neck with one hand.

The three men and the tiger almost formed a ball and rushed towards the tunnel entrance above.

The shadow leopard and the eagle demon followed immediately.

Because the tunnel entrance was designed for human beings, it was indeed a bit difficult for the eagle monster to enter.

As for those monks from various sects who had just been freed from their shackles and were mostly still dressed in rags...

When disaster strikes, they can only fly away on their own.

After all, Bai Yuan's purpose for this trip was just to kill Jiang Cheng, and getting rid of them was a spur-of-the-moment decision. Furthermore, she had instructed Ye Shuang'er to give these guys a shot of a temporary burst of powerful medicine, which was already the most she could do, and she couldn't possibly consider anything more.

The three men and the tiger moved very quickly.

The Shadow Leopard Demon was even faster. With the sound of a dull flute, it quickly caught up from behind. Its body expanded into a huge shadow, wrapping them up, and then it sped up to the outside of the tunnel.

Hope seems to be just around the corner.

Sudden.

Several people heard a rumbling thunder exploding from the distance, and then a huge blood cloud rose from the heart of the Blood Source Sect's headquarters, turning into a giant palm that covered the sky and the sun and grabbed towards this side!

"!?"

……

Time goes back more than a minute.

It was almost the first moment when Bai Yuan's sword "Circular Slash" was damaged in the "Blood Pool Formation".

In the Blood Sacrifice Hall several kilometers away, an old man sitting cross-legged on a skeleton throne suddenly opened his eyes. The six overlapping eyes on his face turned towards the blood pool at the same time. The twelve blood essence stones around him exploded one after another, adding a bit of bloody smell to the air.

"This feeling..."

"Is there something wrong with the sacrifice?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened as if he understood something. "Oh, it's been over sixty years, and I never thought someone would dare to cause trouble here again. They really don't know how to live or die!"

The "blood pool" of the Xueyuan Sect is naturally not only used to torture the captives.

It has two main uses:

The first is to refine the "blood puppet".

Those who could be thrown into the blood pool were, without exception, powerful warriors from various major sects, at least at the Nascent Soul stage, with some even reaching the Half-Step Divine Transformation stage. The bodies of these individuals were excellent materials for refining high-level "blood puppets" and must not be wasted.

The second is to act as a "battery".

That’s right, the “battery” here is literal.

The valuable things on the monks of various sects are naturally not just their bodies. From the moment they were tied to the bronze pillar, their spiritual power, bones and blood, and even vitality were continuously absorbed by the runes on the bronze pillar and the scarlet blood.

And these absorbed life forces will be transmitted to the Blood Sacrifice Hall through runes and tempered into fist-sized blood essence stones, which will become the cultivation materials for the Blood Source Sect Master.

These blood essence stones are what the Bloodline Sect's leader relies on for this retreat, which will allow him to surpass Ling Xiuya in cultivation.

If someone were to take action against the "Blood Pool"...

That would be equivalent to cutting off his foundation!

This is absolutely intolerable!

therefore.

The Blood Source Sect Master, who had been in seclusion for twenty years, suddenly became furious.

"Humph!!"

At this moment, a huge blood cloud rose above the Blood Sacrifice Hall, then quickly gathered and transformed into a giant blood-colored palm, grabbing towards the direction of the blood pool!

The scale of that blood-red palm was so enormous that even the eagle demon, with its wings spread out, which was tens of meters wide, was dwarfed by it! It was like the mythical "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm", enveloping the entire mountain wall where the blood pool was located!

then.

The entire mountain where the blood pool lay suddenly trembled violently. The once solid rock wall cracked into spiderweb-like cracks, and debris rained down like raindrops. A giant hand, condensed from a blood cloud, pierced the mountain and grasped with force. Each of its five fingers was as thick as a temple pillar, and its fingertips were wrapped in scarlet lightning!

"boom--!"

The giant palm slammed down on the mountain wall, shaking the entire peak. Several monks who had just flown out of the tunnel on flying swords were struck head-on by it, instantly reduced to a bloody mess. Some of the remaining people tried to resist, while others desperately tried to turn around, but most were unable to escape.

Many of them were killed by the violent spiritual power gushing out from the blood-colored giant palm without even having direct contact with it. The spilled blood condensed into blood beads in the air, and then shook into a ball of scarlet blood mist!

at the same time.

With Bai Yuan's group all fleeing, the Blood Pool Guards, who had been suppressed by them for a while, finally breathed a sigh of relief. They immediately split into two groups, one fighting the freed monks while the other activated the secret mechanism deep within the Blood Pool.

As the pool of blood surged violently, the corpses of the monks, who had been submerged deep in the water, gradually floated to the surface. Black blood oozed from their hollow eye sockets, and their wide-open mouths emitted silent roars.

These things are exactly those monks who died just now.
