Villain Master, my disciples all want to backstab me

Qingluo snorted coldly and swung her golden-feathered right arm with all her might. Immediately, a monstrous flame erupted, forming a thick wall of fire around her. Before Ye Shuang'er's poisonous mist could even reach her body, it was evaporated by the scorching heat, transforming into light purple smoke that curled into the air!

Then, Qingluo opened her five fingers again.

The wall of fire exploded, forming countless slender golden scales, which shot towards Jiang Rao and Ye Shuang'er on the opposite side! Like a thousand arrows!

Because the speed was too fast, it stirred up fiery sound cones in the air!

"Be careful!!"

Jiang Rao swung his sword to its limit.

At this moment, there were countless ping-pong sounds and countless points of fire connected into one in the air. Jiang Rao and Ye Shuang'er retreated backwards, breaking several rock pillars along the way, and then they staggered to the ground, barely standing firm with the help of their swords.

"Cough cough..."

Jiang Rao opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Ye Shuang'er next to her had several burns on her body, and half of her sleeve was burned.

But the two of them still stared at Qingluo opposite them, with their momentum undiminished and a look as if they were unwilling to give up.

"……Why?"

Qingluo didn't pursue the victory, but stopped, looked coldly at the two junior sisters opposite, and whispered: "This should be the first time I see you. Why are you fighting so hard?"

"The hatred for killing my master is irreconcilable!"

Jiang Rao shouted in a deep voice.

"Kill the Master?"

Qingluo tilted her head and belatedly cast her gaze towards Bai Yuan's "corpse", suddenly realizing: "So you are her disciples? Huh... Did you accept her as your disciple after she killed me?

"I never thought that someone like her could raise such loyal disciples like you! Hahaha, how ridiculous! How pathetic!"

“That’s not the case!!”

Ye Shuang'er spoke loudly, her hoarse voice interrupting Qingluo: "Master is the best and most gentle master in the world, she just has always been accustomed to showing a cold face... She never intended to kill you at the beginning, and everything she did to you was to help you awaken your bloodline! You misunderstood her!!"

"……Misunderstand?"

The so-called "helping awaken the bloodline" was actually a speculation made by Jiang Rao and Ye Shuang'er based on the existing intelligence. In theory, it was actually a sophistry on Bai Yuan's behalf.

——If Bai Yuan had not gone back thirty years and rewritten the world line, then this would indeed be just a simple quibble.

Therefore, Qingluo, the person involved, was not only unmoved, but even felt like laughing: "You didn't want to kill me, so you cut out my heart and bones and dumped my body in the wilderness? If someone like her knew I had the blood of the Divine Phoenix, I'm afraid she would snatch it away immediately and claim it as her own!"

"What if she already knew?"

This time it was Jiang Rao who spoke.

Qingluo looked over and heard Jiang Rao continue in a cold voice, "Master herself possesses the blood of the demon race, and she practices the [Path of Time] that can reverse life and death. Do you think she can't tell whether you can survive?"

"Hmph, I was able to survive because of the rescue by Senior Mo Yuan of the Shadow Leopard Clan. It has nothing to do with her! And since when did she also possess the blood of the demon race..."

and many more……

Qingluo suddenly stopped.

At that moment, a torrent of emotions suddenly surged through her mind. Memories from thirty years ago, gradually forgotten due to the passage of time, suddenly revived. Scenes and fragments of the past came alive again, as if they had happened only yesterday!

A wooden house in a desolate mountain, a white-haired old woman, and medicine boiling on the stove...

The Blood Origin Clan's pursuers, the figures standing in his way, and...

A flash of inspiration flashed through Qingluo's mind like lightning. She seemed to suddenly remember something. She suddenly raised her head and looked towards the place where Bai Yuan "died", then stretched out her hand to beckon.

With this action, Bai Yuan's broken body was brought in front of Qingluo, and then she examined it carefully, but did not see the golden dice in her memory.

“…Is it an illusion?”

Qingluo frowned, a little hesitant, but at the same time seemed relieved.

And opposite her.

Jiang Rao and Ye Shuang'er couldn't help themselves anymore——

They were able to temporarily cease fire with Qingluo and communicate with her verbally, firstly because the latter was too strong and they really couldn't beat her; secondly because the other party was their own senior sister, who was treated so cruelly by Bai Yuan. It was reasonable for her to decide to take revenge without knowing the inside story.

There was another hidden reason. Since Bai Yuan hadn't explained to Qingluo during the battle, he must have long since resolved to die, wanting to repay the old grudge with his own life. As disciples, although they were grieving, they couldn't go against their master's wishes.

but……

Now that the situation has been made clear, Qingluo not only refused to accept it, but she even defiled the master's corpse and treated him with such disrespect... This is intolerable!

Even if the other party is the so-called senior sister, they must show their respect!!

present.

The Five Elements Wheel behind Jiang Rao started to spin again.

Ye Shuang'er took out a white jade porcelain bottle from her bosom, unscrewed the wooden stopper at the mouth of the bottle, and prepared to pour the pill inside into her mouth.

The bottle contained no ordinary poison, but five "Soul-Eroding Marrow-Burning Pills" personally refined by Xiao Yuchen of Qingming Valley. They had originally been kept by Bai Yuan, but before the decisive battle with Qingluo, they were given to Ye Shuang'er, who was instructed to keep them safe and not to consume them lightly.

Theoretically, with Ye Shuang'er's physique, she could eat five "Burning Marrow Pills" at once. In that case, her cultivation level would likely soar directly from the initial sixth level of the Nascent Soul to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation, which would be enough to fight with Qingluo now, and even pose a fatal threat to her.

However, the price that this would bring could be very serious. In the worst case scenario, the "poisonous body" would go out of control, causing a poisonous miasma to break out, destroying all life within a thousand miles.

That's why Bai Yuan had reminded Ye Shuang'er several times to take one pill every once in a while to ensure the poison was fully absorbed. Ye Shuang'er also made a promise to her master.

But now...

Bai Yuan is dead, and Ye Shuang'er no longer has the heart to argue about right and wrong. She just wants to seek justice for her master in her own way!

Beside her, Jiang Rao keenly sensed that something was wrong with Ye Shuang'er. She was startled for a moment and quickly rushed over to grab her wrist. "Shuang'er, are you crazy?! Taking so much poison at once, even if you have a 'poisonous body', you will lose control!"

"If I lose control, I lose control! My master is gone, so I don't care anymore!"

"But the Sect Leader, Fellow Daoist Ji, and the others are still over there. You don't want everyone to die here together, do you? Oh, and there's White Tiger! White Tiger isn't dead yet!"

Jiang Rao glanced in the direction of Ling Xiuya and "Ji Tingxue", intending to ask them to come down to help and stop Ye Shuang'er from doing stupid things, but at this moment, she suddenly noticed the existence of the white tiger.

The latter was flapping its wings and following Ji Tingxue, as obedient as a big cat. Suddenly locked in Jiang Rao's gaze, the tiger was stunned for a moment, a little confused.

Chapter 209 The Four Demon Kings’ Raid!

The survival of the white tiger is a very important detail——

It and Bai Yuan had signed a pact to share the same fate. If Bai Yuan died, then the white tiger should theoretically be buried with her. Therefore, conversely, based on the beast's condition, it could be used to determine whether Bai Yuan was truly dead, or if, like in previous instances, he was in a half-dead state, waiting to be revived.

now……

Since Baihu is still alive, doesn't that mean that Master still has a chance to start over?!

The two sisters argued for a while.

Qingluo on the opposite side was also in confusion because of the memory in her mind, so she did not rush to attack.

The situation fell into a brief stalemate.

Ling Xiuya, in mid-air, intended to take this opportunity to play peacemaker and see if he could persuade the three sisters to call a truce. Even if they really had to fight, they could try to find a different time and place to avoid unnecessary casualties, especially to avoid being taken advantage of by others.

at this time.

Ling Xiuya's eyebrows suddenly jumped and he looked to the side.

Suddenly, a huge crack appeared in the night sky in that direction.

A massive, pitch-black figure suddenly emerged from the crack. Almost immediately upon appearing, it spread its wings, its entire body inverted into a sharp triangle. It darted out at lightning speed, like an arrow shot from a bow, piercing straight at Ling Xiuya and "Ji Tingxue" beside him!

Before the figure arrived, the terrifying aura of the Spiritual Transformation Realm condensed into substance in the air, making almost everyone around feel the terrifying pressure!

This was a long-planned raid.

It was also an assassination that was unexpected!

After all, Ling Xiuya was the head of Tianyuan Sect. Although he was shocked in a hurry, he remained calm. He immediately pinched his fingers into sword fingers and drew them vigorously in the air. The aura that also belonged to the Spirit Transformation Realm immediately gushed out and turned into a sword energy storm as bright as the Milky Way in the night, heading towards the attacker!

If Ling Xiuya were heading towards the Cangwu Abyss at this moment, then this sword would be unstoppable. However, he had just been severely injured by the five Divine Transformations led by Shen Tuhong. Although he had recovered somewhat, he was still not back to his peak strength and only had about 80% of his previous strength.

But the attacker at this moment was a seventh-grade Divine Transformation cultivator, only slightly inferior to him in his prime!

next moment.

All I heard was a loud "boom"!

The two forces collided head-on in mid-air, like Mars hitting the Earth. The massive shockwaves spread outward like ripples on the surface of water, condensing into a force twelve hurricane, swiftly impacting everything around them, making the already shattered battlefield even more devastated!

In the violent wind pressure.

Countless black feather arrows and countless sword energies as fine as cow hair collided thousands of times in mid-air, cutting the surrounding air and even space into countless small pieces.

——If there were a few Yuanying Realm cultivators standing here at this moment, they would probably not even need to face Ling Xiuya and the attacker directly, as they would be severely injured by the aftermath of their confrontation in minutes.

In the storm of sword blades spreading everywhere, Ling Xiuya and "Ji Tingxue" fell from mid-air. During the process, a protective light shield rose above their bodies, allowing them, along with the white tiger beside them, to land safely on the ground and stand firm again.

At this time, Ling Xiuya glanced at "Ji Tingxue" next to him with the corner of his eye, and the expression on his face became a little strange.

As the former foremost of the righteous, his combat prowess was only somewhat weakened, but his perception remained sharp. In that instant, he had indeed sensed the aura of Return to Void Realm cultivation from the Saintess of the Ji Family beside him. It was clear, unmistakable.

Thinking about it carefully, he did hear some gossip from the previous clan leader about the "Ji Family Saintess" who had concealed the truth from the world. It vaguely matched Ji Tingxue's life experience.

but……

After that instant, Ji Tingxue suppressed her strength, maintaining her original Nascent Soul Stage 6 or 7. Facing the astonishing attack, she had no intention of resisting or fighting back, and only relied on the protective light shield held up by Ling Xiuya to avoid being directly hit.

This strange phenomenon even made Ling Xiuya doubt whether he had perceived it wrongly before.

However, this thought only flashed through his mind. After all, Ling Xiuya was a powerful figure in the cultivation world. He had dealt with several Return to Void Realm cultivators in his life and had some understanding of the temperament of this powerful figure.

Perhaps this is the unique bad taste of the big guys...

the other side.

Qingluo, Jiang Rao and Ye Shuang'er also temporarily stopped arguing.

Among them, Qingluo stood aside without moving, with a frown on her face, as if she was still recalling the past.

Ye Shuang'er was holding a porcelain bottle of medicine in her hand and glaring at her.

This little girl was probably the only one in the room who seemed indifferent to the attackers. Her attention was almost entirely focused on Qingluo and Baiyuan's "corpses."

Although out of trust in Jiang Rao and Qingluo's decision not to further damage Bai Yuan's body, she temporarily stopped taking drugs to explode, but she did not give up completely.

If it really comes to the point where I have to...

Ye Shuang'er didn't care about dragging the "senior sister" in front of her to death together.

Nearby, Jiang Rao breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Ye Shuang'er had been persuaded. He then glanced back at the location in the night sky where the crack had appeared, and quickly asked Ling Xiuya, "Master, what was that just now..."

"...Yes, it's the demon tribe."

"I'm afraid we've fallen into a trap."

Ling Xiuya let out a light breath, slowly calming down the blood and qi shock caused by the previous fight, then narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction where he had fallen.

There, a slender beam of light suddenly shot up into the sky.

Then, there is the second, third... and fourth line in the vertical direction!

It only took a few breaths.

A massive, square barrier stretched out and took shape between heaven and earth, trapping Ling Xiuya, Ji Lingyun, and the four masters and apprentices who were already in a state of chaos below.

Then, ripples like water waves appeared on the surface of the barrier, and the scenery outside began to blur, as if it was blocked by distant mountains. The whole scene looked somewhat similar to the barrier that Ji Lingyun had casually set up on Hidden Moon Mountain, but not exactly the same.

in this process.

Several hideous and bizarre figures passed through the huge crack in the night and appeared in the sight of several people -

"Ferocious and weird" is not an exaggeration, but a realistic description.

Because these figures basically didn't look like humans. Some had a lion's head with dense mane and a reddish-brown body; some had a pair of huge wings on their backs, with a wingspan of thirty or forty meters; some were as black as charcoal, with a spotted leopard's head on their necks...

Each one looks more ferocious and terrifying than the other.

However, the aura they exude is even more terrifying than their appearance. This is because there are actually four demons among them, all of whom are in the Spiritual Transformation Realm!

And there is also one who has reached the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm!

——The last demon with the appearance of a black eagle was none other than the seventh-grade spirit transformation cultivator who had just attacked Ling Xiuya!

At this moment, each of the four demons supported a corner of the barrier, enclosing this vast world, and looked at Ling Xiuya and others from afar.

"I see……"

Ling Xiuya sighed, as if he had understood something: "Is this a diversionary tactic?"
