Villain Master, my disciples all want to backstab me

Next.

Bai Yuan and his group hid in this cave and took pills to replenish their qi and blood to restore their strength.

Wait until the day is over and midnight comes.

Bai Yuan woke up from his resting state, looked at the night sky and estimated the time, then gathered Ye Shuang'er and others together and took out the [Linglong Dice].

Under normal circumstances, as long as Ji Lingyun did not show up, it would be impossible for them to recover in ten days or half a month given their injuries.

However, Bai Yuan has a backup plan:

The "life" formula of the [Exquisite Dice] holds the healing power that's the opposite of "death." Furthermore, the number of rolls for this dice resets daily, and a new calculation cycle begins after midnight. Rather than leaving it to reset, why not try your luck?

Considering that the refresh time is midnight, after 3 throws are used up, 3 new ones will be refreshed, which is just not a waste.

present.

Bai Yuan threw the dice, caught it, and threw it again.

Well... I'm lucky.

When it was thrown for the third time, a golden "life" character appeared in front of them.

Then, as Bai Yuan's mind shifted slightly, a surge of vitality emerged from the [Exquisite Dice], distributing itself to her, Ye Shuang'er, Ji Tingxue, Bai Hu, and Jiang Cheng. As this fresh vitality surged into their bodies, the injuries of the four people and the tiger healed at a visible speed.

The spiritual power that was originally depleted in the dantian of several people was gradually replenished and recovered to almost full.

Although the two key items, [Galaxy Fantasy Yarn] and [Tribulation Thunder Pearl], had not yet recovered and would likely be difficult to do so in a short period of time, with the "Life" spell taking effect, the few of them finally had the strength to fight. As long as they didn't encounter a Spiritual Transformation Realm cultivator, they could theoretically break through successfully.

Do it all.

Bai Yuan placed the [Exquisite Dice] in his palm and watched as the six dice faces refreshed. He breathed a sigh of relief and said,

"Let's go. It's almost time."

As black cat ears emerged.

Bai Yuan's body once again transformed into a shadow form, and he pulled Ji Tingxue and the others in, then began to move in the direction away from the Blood Source Sect's headquarters.

……

Bai Yuan was busy running away.

The Blood Origin Sect, on the other hand, was busy dealing with the turmoil caused by her.

That day, Bai Yuan led Ji Tingxue and others to attack the blood pool. In addition to rescuing Jiang Cheng, they also cut off a large number of bronze pillars in the blood pool and released more than half of the monks from various sects who were imprisoned in the Xueyuan Sect.

Although most of these monks were killed on the spot or captured, a few lucky ones managed to escape the bloody massacre by relying on their strength or wisdom. They then used various methods and means to spread the news of their imprisonment in the blood pool to the outside world.

This is a big deal.

The Blood Origin Sect's blood pool had existed for hundreds of years, and it held captives from various sects. Many of these individuals had been captured by the Blood Origin Sect through various treacherous tactics. Over the years, even their respective sects were unaware of their whereabouts.

Now that the news has been released, several cases that have been pending for many years have been resolved, and it has caused an uproar in the cultivation world.

Several righteous sects that were originally watching the battle between good and evil, became furious when they learned that their own leaders, elders, and talented disciples had been captured by the Blood Source Sect and used as blood pumps. They directly announced that they would join the "United Front Against the Blood Source Sect" and vowed to be irreconcilable with the evil sect.

Black Cloud Mountain, which had originally formed an alliance with the Blood Origin Sect to jointly fight against the righteous path, was now beginning to have doubts. Not all of those who had escaped from the blood pool were righteous cultivators. One of them was a long-missing elder from Black Cloud Mountain! This feeling of being stabbed in the back made Black Cloud Mountain begin to consider the necessity of cooperating with the Blood Origin Sect.

Furthermore, the consequences of Shao An's murder a few days ago were gradually becoming apparent. As the head of the Blood Refining Hall and a powerful Nascent Soul Stage 8 cultivator, his death left the Blood Source Sect's demonic cultivators, who had taken over, unable to withstand the pressure from the four righteous sects and quickly began to suffer heavy losses.

Only the news of the Blood God's incarnation being annihilated remained strictly sealed. Because the battle had taken place within the Blood Origin Sect's sphere of influence, and Blood Nightmare had quickly secured the scene, the outside world only knew that a shocking battle had broken out, but not the identities of the two combatants.

even so.

A series of chain reactions caused several elders and hall masters in charge of the Blood Source Sect, and even the sect leader Blood God himself, to fall into a rage. They wished they could catch Bai Yuan on the spot, chop her into minced meat and eat her to relieve their hatred.

but……

"Where the hell did that guy go?!"

"She should be seriously injured now, licking her wounds somewhere unknown. Why haven't we even seen her after sending so many people? The early warning defense line that the Blood Origin Sect has painstakingly built over so many years is actually completely useless?!"

Hmm... it's really useless.

Although Shadow Walk could be countered by instruments imbued with pure yang energy, that was only true when both sides were engaged in a full-scale battle. If Bai Yuan remained hidden, or activated Shadow Walk whenever she moved, the Blood Origin Sect would have no way of quickly finding her.

All they could do was send as many people as possible to wander around the sect day and night and conduct a carpet search.

Speaking of which...

The fact that Bai Yuan could use 'Shadow Travel' was something that even the Blood Origin Sect's leaders were puzzled.

"Why is the Blood Kite able to use this magical power? Could it be that the Shadow Leopard Clan is playing both sides? Besides being one of the four great demon clans and collaborating with the Shentu Clan and the Blood Origin Sect, they're also secretly colluding with the Blood Kite?"

“Or…”

Or is it that Xue Yuan, like her human-phoenix hybrid disciple Qing Luo, is also a hidden hybrid, and the other half of her blood is from the Shadow Leopard clan?!

Chapter 191 The line of fire falling from the sky!

Based on these two guesses.

The Blood Origin Clan naturally cast their suspicions on a certain person from the Shadow Leopard Clan—

Mo Zhe!

If you think about it carefully, the appearance of Mo Zeng and Qing Luo is actually very strange.

The Blood Kite's infiltration was sudden, and its battle with the Blood God's Son was even more accidental. However, afterward, it was these two demons who first found the battle site. Blood Nightmare and the others, who had learned the information from the Blood God's Son and hurried over, were actually a step behind them...

This is obviously a bit unreasonable.

Unless the location of the battle was not a temporary decision but was planned in advance, and Mo Zhe and Qing Luo also knew something in advance, this would be possible!

if it is like this……

What roles did the Shadow Leopard and Divine Phoenix tribes play in this incident?

The oriole who reaps the benefits?

Or... are they here to pick up Blood Kite's accomplices?

Is it possible that the reason why "Blood Kite" was able to escape from the sight of the Blood Source Sect was because of the protection of the Shadow Leopard Clan?

Thinking about the news of "Blood Kite showing up riding a Shadow Leopard" mentioned by several surviving Blood Pool Guards; and Qingluo's past as Blood Kite's senior disciple... The Blood Origin Sect suddenly felt that this might be a big game, a conspiracy against the Blood Origin Sect that started at an unknown time!

Perhaps, even this "War to Suppress Demons" that has shaken up most of the cultivation world is part of this conspiracy!

however……

The Blood Origin Sect has no evidence to support this speculation.

Moreover, even if their speculation was correct, the Blood Origin Sect, the Demon Clan, and the Shentu Clan were still allies. If they rashly broke ranks, the Blood Origin Sect, already under attack from the four righteous sects, would be caught in a predicament of being attacked from both sides, with disastrous consequences.

and so.

After some discussion, the Xueyuan Sect decided to remain silent for the time being. On the one hand, they continued to send people to search for Bai Yuan's whereabouts; on the other hand, they assigned a group of people to secretly monitor the movements of Mo Zeng and Qing Luo to see if they were really colluding with "Xue Yuan".

This task naturally fell into the hands of Blood Nightmare.

With the Blood God Son still out of seclusion, the two hall masters in the Spirit Transformation Realm recovering from their injuries, and most of the other hall masters in the branch altars defending against attacks from the four righteous sects, Xue Yan, the great elder of the inner sect, has become the backbone of the sect, and all personnel arrangements are controlled by her.

that's it.

Time passed quickly and it was late at night the next day.

In the thick twilight.

Several figures pressed their bodies tightly against the branches of the ancient tree, motionless, their breathing almost blending in with the chirping of insects in the forest.

In the bronze mirror before them.

A golden-eyed girl in a golden feathered robe and a shadow leopard demon king in dark green scale armor were walking slowly along the mountain path. The latter was clutching a thick, bloody leg of lamb, which he was devouring as he walked, crushing even the bones with his teeth before swallowing.

——Sky-viewing mirror.

This was the second day since the Xueyuan Sect began to follow Qingluo and the other person.

Since their appearance that night, Qingluo and Mo Zheng had barely rested, constantly searching for any trace of Bai Yuan and his group. The two groups of Blood Origin Sect cultivators, tasked with stalking them, simply followed them closely, observing their movements.

This job is not easy.

Because Qingluo and Mozheng were both in the Spiritual Transformation Realm, with Qingluo even in the later stages of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, if they were too far away, they would be thrown off. The Sky-Viewing Mirror's maximum detection range was only about a hundred miles; and if they were too close, they might be discovered.

Even if they were discovered, they could still use excuses such as "caring about the safety of their allies" to get away with it, but it would still be embarrassing.

There is nothing wrong with this idea.

If the only person they were tracking was Mo Zeng, even if he was unhappy, he wouldn't do anything too extreme. After all, the demon race and the Blood Origin Sect were still an unbreakable alliance. Before this trip to Central Continent, Mo Zeng had been specifically warned not to act recklessly in front of the Blood Origin Sect and the Shentu family, so as not to affect their relationship.

but……

Qingluo is not a member of the four major demon tribes.

Moreover, she had always hated these unrepentant demon cultivators. When she last encountered Xue Yan and his group, she was ready to take action. It was only because tracking Bai Yuan was a higher priority, and Mo Zheng persuaded her, that she stopped killing. But now...

"Elder!"

A Blood Origin Sect monk suddenly spoke.

"Ok?"

Another older demon cultivator, hearing the sound, looked over and noticed that Qingluo in the bronze mirror suddenly paused, seemingly listening for a moment to the night owl's cry. Then, she slowly raised her head and glanced up at the night sky. Under the bright moonlight, her golden pupils shone brightly, as if she were staring back at them through the mirror.

"?!"

Discovered? !

Several Blood Origin Sect demon cultivators held their breath, their expressions tense. The sound of their Adam's apples rolling was particularly clear in the dead silence.

next moment.

The green radish in the mirror flickered.

The halo of light from the flaming feathered robe shimmered quietly over the pile of dead leaves, but the figure had vanished. Then, several demon cultivators in the dense forest felt the air around them grow hotter. A faint whisper, wrapped in the heat, brushed past their ears: "Are you looking for me?"

"?!!"

Several Blood Source Sect monks suddenly jumped up and looked towards the opposite side as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Deep in the woods.

Qingluo, dressed in a golden feathered robe, had stood there at some point, a sneer curling her lips. Her golden pupils blazed like two stars.

"Senior, calm down."

The leading elder of the Blood Origin Sect had seen such a big scene before, so he quickly calmed down and immediately brought out the words he had prepared long ago: "We are cultivators of the Blood Origin Sect. A few days ago, Elder Xueyan and I met two distinguished guests together. This time, we have no other intention but to invite you two..."

"It's so disgusting."

Qingluo suddenly spoke.

The Blood Source Sect elder was stunned for a moment: "?"

"I'm curious. Are people like you born with such evil in them, or did it develop later in life? And how many innocent lives have you taken to become tainted with such a sickening bloody stench?"

Qingluo's tone was light and casual, as if she was just chatting, but her words gradually became chilling: "As expected, a demon cultivator is a demon cultivator. Just like that woman. You will never change, and there is no need to change, because what awaits you... is only death!"

"!!"

At this moment, the Blood Source Sect elder felt a strong sense of fear and subconsciously shouted, "Not good, retreat quickly..."

"late!"

The moment you say "only death".

Qingluo's eyes lit up intensely, and her entire body turned a brilliant golden color. Endless starlight burst from her feathered robe, transforming into real flames that swept towards the Blood Origin Sect members across from her!

The elder's eyes widened in terror. The bone sword at his waist had barely extended three inches when his vision was filled with a rich, crimson-gold light. For a thousandth of a second, his skin felt not a burning pain, but an eerie warmth, like returning to the womb. Within that tranquility lay the world's greatest terror.

boom--! ! !

At that moment, it was as if a golden lotus had exploded within this ancient forest deep in the mountains, illuminating the sky for dozens of miles. As the "lotus" blossomed, a blazing flame shot up into the sky, engulfing the entire mountain forest. From the Blood Origin Sect cultivators to the surrounding pines, cypresses, and ancient locust trees, to the snakes, insects, rats, ants, birds, and beasts...

Everything was frozen in time, then transformed into wisps of ash that drifted down. A stream that flowed through the area was completely evaporated, and white vapor rose into the sky. The entire forest was twisted into an abstract painting in a sea of ​​golden flames.

"Fuck..."

at this time.

Mo Zheng, who had just arrived, happened to see Qing Luo stepping on the glass crystal and leaning over to pick up a broken jade slip. The scorched earth beneath her feet spread into radial cracks, and the remains of the flying swords that once belonged to the Blood Origin Sect disciples were slowly sinking into the crystal.

At this moment, Mo Zhe was completely... well, I should say the whole leopard was dumbfounded.

no……

I just didn't notice it for a moment, and you started killing people here?
