Villain Master, my disciples all want to backstab me

As Bai Yuan spoke, he raised his sleeves and gently pushed Jiang Rao and Ye Shuang'er away.

Ye Shuang'er didn't think much about it.

After Bai Yuan spoke, she nodded vigorously, then obediently supported Jiang Rao and took her to a slightly flatter place nearby.

On the one hand, it is a fact that Jiang Rao is seriously injured and he really needs to be treated as soon as possible.

On the other hand, Ye Shuang'er had witnessed Bai Yuan's resurrection several times, and now she had even witnessed her master display his divine power, defeating the notorious and arrogant demonic giant, Blood God Son. At this moment, her admiration for Bai Yuan reached its peak, and her worries had largely dissipated.

However, Qingluo vaguely sensed something.

She raised her head and looked up into the sky.

The dark clouds and lightning that had gathered under the night sky when Blood God Son and Bai Yuan launched their final attack did not dissipate with the end of the battle.

Even after the brilliance of the "Heaven-Severing Sword" faded, the dark clouds grew even thicker. Deep purple lightning flashed and flickered as the clouds collided, then fell to the earth along with heavy rain and hail.

Getting closer and closer to the white kite.

It's also getting denser.

For a moment.

Qingluo's mind moved, and she suddenly had a very strange feeling, as if... there was some supreme existence in the dark, watching them from an unknown place.

This feeling came and went quickly, disappearing in an instant, as if it was just an illusion.

"..."

Qingluo was silent for a moment, then looked up at the sky again, seeing the increasing number of dark clouds and lightning. Among these ordinary lightning bolts, there was a kind of lightning that was almost purple-black and brewing. Her brows furrowed even more tightly.

"Is this... 'Thunderbolt'?"

It was indeed a "thunderbolt".

Every cultivator, starting from the Golden Core Stage, needs to overcome tribulations every time they advance to a higher realm. Only those who survive the thunder tribulations without having their foundations destroyed can advance further, break free from their previous shackles, and become cultivators of a higher level of cultivation.

This "calamity" is essentially a screening mechanism.

The intensity of thunder tribulation varies according to different realms and qualifications.

As each person's luck is different, the success rate of overcoming the tribulation is also different.

For example, children of destiny like Qingluo, Jiangrao, and Ye Shuang'er basically just went through the motions every time they crossed a tribulation. As long as they didn't rush for success or resort to deliberate suicide, erasing their "destined protagonist" halo, then their cultivation would be smooth sailing, at least until they reached the Spiritual Transformation Realm.

But Bai Yuan is different.

She is the villain of destiny.

And according to the original plot, he should have died long ago. Therefore, the difficulty of overcoming the tribulation should be greater than that of ordinary people.

But considering that Bai Yuan is practicing for the second time, she had already gone through the process from foundation building to spirit transformation when she was the "Blood Kite" before; plus, after she practiced the "Blood Essence Heart Meteorite Art", she has transformed herself three or four times, and thus obtained a "pseudo-innate Taoist body" comparable to the protagonist of destiny.

Two positive buffs to offset the debuff of a "destined villain"... In theory, even if it cannot be completely offset, it should be able to reduce the risk factor of the tribulation a lot.

but……

There is a very critical issue.

That is, until she met Qingluo, Bai Yuan was still only a Nascent Soul Sixth Stage. Although she had "Ghost Yuan" play for her for a while, showing the strength of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, her own cultivation realm remained unchanged, and she had once "died" at the Nascent Soul Sixth Stage.

Then, she crossed the bottleneck of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul and reached the time of the Divine Transformation...

Not now.

But it was thirty years ago!

This is a paradox!

If we continue to delve deeper into this paradox... we will discover a bug where the timeline has been tampered with!

"Tian Dao" should have discovered this bug long ago.

But because Bai Yuan had chosen the [Netherworld Sea of ​​Bitterness] as the location for her retreat - which, like the [Cangwu Abyss], was adjacent to the Yellow Springs, and was also a place that "Heavenly Dao" could not fully control; and after she came out of retreat, she only exchanged one move with the Blood God Son, then fled away directly, and then returned her body to "Blood Yuan", returning to the present.

Therefore, the thunder tribulation that was supposed to come was directly skipped by Bai Yuan's operation.

It was not until now, thirty years later, that it finally arrived.

Along with it comes the malice of some supreme and great being.

"It seems that I can't completely avoid it after all."

Bai Yuan sighed.

The "other thing" she had just dealt with was this thunder tribulation.

It seems that "Heaven's Way" has noticed something is wrong.

Therefore, this "thunder tribulation" of the Nascent Soul's breakthrough to the Divine Transformation stage was far more intense than normal. It appeared to be the "Purple Sky Divine Thunder" embodying the power of the Law of Chaos! The fact that a thunder tribulation of this magnitude could be triggered only meant that the Heavenly Dao had no intention of allowing Bai Yuan to survive, but rather of completely eradicating this bug that had exploited a loophole!

"call……"

Bai Yuan took a deep breath, glanced in a certain direction beside her, and then looked up at the sky, with her long black hair flying high, looking arrogant: "Come on, God! Let me see your limit!!"

It seemed to be a response to Bai Yuan's words.

next moment.

The first purple-black thunderbolt struck down from the dark clouds, illuminating the sky and earth in an instant!

Boom——! ! !

The moment the thunder sounded, Bai Yuan was swallowed up by the pillar of lightning that fell from the sky, and his entire body turned into a white human silhouette.

When the lightning dissipated, the last bit of "Qingmu Yigang" on her body became much dimmer, and the [Galaxy Fantasy Veil] was completely shattered. The starlight on it disappeared, leaving only a transparent gauze dress wrapped tightly around Bai Yuan.

However, Bai Yuan's expression was still arrogant.

And "Heaven's Way" obviously did not intend to give Bai Yuan any time to breathe.

In a flash, the second thunder followed!

Then came the third, the fourth... one lightning bolt after another connected into one, dyeing the world purple again!

"Master!!"

Ye Shuang'er was so shocked that she even forgot to act for a moment.

"..."

Qingluo was a little hesitant about whether to go up and help.

After all, she possessed the blood of the Divine Phoenix, giving her an extremely strong recovery ability. Despite enduring numerous battles overnight, her current state was the best among the four present. Furthermore, she had experienced the lightning tribulation of the Spiritual Transformation Realm in the Eastern Wasteland before, so she should be able to help share the pressure.

only……

Do you really want to help?

Just when Qingluo was hesitating and subconsciously wanted to step forward.

A hand suddenly reached out from behind without warning and patted her shoulder.

"If I were you, I wouldn't go there."

"...?"

Qingluo was slightly startled, and turned around suddenly, seeing a familiar face. It seemed that she had seen it on another battlefield not long ago.

Well... on the battlefield where she and "Ghost Kite" were.

"You are……"

"Ji family, Ji Tingxue."

"Don't be nervous. You and I are not enemies, and we are both here for her."

Ji Lingyun responded indifferently, then raised her head, glanced at the sky with a subtle gaze, and sighed softly: "I told her a long time ago that the path of [Time] is against the will of heaven. If you take a wrong step, you will be doomed.

"The current thunder tribulation is just an appetizer before stepping onto a higher level. If you can't withstand this level of attack..."

"Then there's no need to continue walking the rest of the way."

While talking.

Ji Lingyun raised her hand and pulled the [Exquisite Dice] from Bai Yuan's side towards her, dangling it at her fingertips. "Although there's a risk of being noticed by Him, to avoid complications, let's take some precautions."

As she spoke, Ji Lingyun flicked the dice lightly, and the dice landed on the "seal" character again.

The turquoise "birdcage" opened again.

However, this time, the "bird cage" was missing its upper part, with only a circle of barrier at the bottom, which surrounded the battlefield. This approach was somewhat similar to the "Ten Absolute Formations of Tianyang" previously formed by the four demon kings, except that it utilized the power of the laws, making it more exquisite and natural.

Then, without Ji Lingyun making any new movements, patches of green leaves slowly emerged from the ground, from virtual to real, and then extended to Bai Yuan's feet. The vines gently wrapped around her toes, transmitting strands of vitality to her.

Although it was not much, it finally brought some benefits to Bai Yuan, allowing her vital signs, which were constantly declining due to her resistance to the thunder tribulation, to be maintained for a while longer.

Chapter 220 "You don't want Master to see a dead body, do you?"

The same green leaves and vines also appeared on Jiang Rao and Ye Shuang'er.

Among them, Jiang Rao was treated better because he was seriously injured. He was completely wrapped in layers of green leaves. His battered body was nourished with vitality and was slowly recovering from his severe injuries.

Ye Shuang'er's hands and feet were entangled, preventing her from rushing out to help Bai Yuan.

——[Aoki Yi Gang]!

When Qingluo saw this scene, she didn't say anything or make any unnecessary movements. She just watched quietly.

However, Ye Shuang'er, after her initial shock, seemed to suddenly realize something and turned back to look at Ji Lingyun: "You..."

"Shh-"

Ji Lingyun raised her index finger and put it in front of her lips, then her tone became sharp: "You just took an overdose of poison pills and experienced an overloaded battle. Now your body is on the verge of collapse. Don't worry about other people's affairs for now, just take care of yourself.

"Breathe calmly and focus your mind on the spiritual platform!"

"..."

Ye Shuang'er moved her lips, wanting to say something.

But Ji Lingyun's next words shut her up: "You don't want your master to see a corpse that has collapsed due to poison after successfully surviving the tribulation, do you?"

This time, Ye Shuang'er finally followed Ji Lingyun's instructions, closed her eyes, and began to sort out the poisonous power that was running around in her body under the latter's guidance.

The four masters and apprentices were all settled down by Ji Lingyun one by one.

The air became quiet.

There was only the sound of thunder, one louder than the other, continuing incessantly.

As for Bai Yuan, her figure had disappeared in the increasingly dazzling column of lightning since the third thunderbolt. It was impossible to see the specific situation now, and one could only vaguely sense her life or death by her breath.

At this time.

Ji Lingyun glanced at Bai Yuan, who was bathed in lightning, and sighed softly, seemingly feeling somewhat helpless. "It was like this before, and it's the same now. Every time, they die on their own, leaving behind a mess for me to clean up... I really don't know if these guys are your disciples or mine.

"After this is over, it's time to settle accounts with you."

"?"

Qingluo's heart moved.

In fact, Ji Lingyun’s complaints were closer to her “inner voice” and did not really come out of her mouth.

However, Qingluo's bloodline flowed from the Phoenix Ancestor Clan, and before leaving for Central Continent, she had comprehended the inscriptions on the Divine Phoenix Nine Cauldrons. Therefore, her spiritual sense was far more acute than that of an average person, and at this moment, she vaguely caught Ji Lingyun's thoughts.

But Qingluo wasn't one for asking too many questions. Furthermore, she hadn't seen Bai Yuan for years, and didn't know much about her relationships. She wasn't quite sure what position "Ji Tingxue" held among them. So, with a fleeting thought, she lowered her eyes again, remaining silent.

suddenly.

Qingluo seemed to recall something. She suddenly looked up and glanced at the direction where the "great rift valley" on the ground extended. She asked in a low voice: "Oh, Miss Ji. That person from the Blood Origin Sect..."

"Ah, did you notice him too?"

Ji Lingyun raised her head and cast her gaze into the distance, then said lightly, "That guy isn't actually dead, but he's not far from it. If we're lucky, he might appear before us in the form of a puppet in the next battle."

……

At this moment.

Somewhere about nine hundred miles away from the place where Bai Yuan transcended the tribulation.

The air suddenly fluctuated.

Then, a cluster of bright red blood light emerged from the void.

Next, there was a body that was not entirely complete, and could even be said to be badly damaged.
