Villain Master, my disciples all want to backstab me

With these two actions.

A thin black line appeared in the Haoran Sect cultivator's eyes. If you looked closely, you'd see a prickly shape surrounding the black line, like the rhizome of a lotus flower, and the man's pupils were like a pool of water, providing nutrients to the rhizome.

“…I know you’re looking here.”

"Your Shentu clan is considered a descendant of the Celestial Beings, second only to the Ji family among the eight ancient cultivation clans... Yet, you've fallen to the point where you can only resort to such covert tactics to stir up trouble, while you don't even have the courage to personally step forward?"

this moment.

Including that person, all the Haoran Sect cultivators heard this low voice, which sounded from the deepest part of their hearts.

However, there was no response.

Bai Yuan was not surprised at all.

She simply stretched out her hand and touched the tips of her thumb and index finger to the man's eyes.

Ming Baiyuan's two fingers were clearly some distance away from the man, and there was no direct physical contact, but the "pool water" in the man's eyes was stirred by an invisible force, and the thin black line was also gently pinched by the two "fingers".

At this moment, Bai Yuan's mind moved slightly, and he felt a blurry picture passing by in front of his eyes——

Chapter 242 [The Way of Time], the power of reversal!

The person in the picture is in a dark and secluded place.

The surrounding area resembled a pond, or perhaps a gurgling stream flowing around a small square stone platform. Black lotus flowers blossomed in the river, their centers ablaze with faint blue flames, like pieces on a chessboard, clearly arranged in a staggered pattern.

That person seemed to be using these "chess pieces" to control the every move of all those being controlled.

Almost at the same time Bai Yuan "saw" that person.

He also raised his head and looked at Bai Yuan from a distance.

It was a blurry face, thickly mosaiced. The features and features were unclear, and even the gender, age, and appearance were indistinguishable. But the overall impression it gave was one of coldness, chill, and even a certain ominous undertone.

It seems that as long as you see such a face, you will be plagued by bad luck and encounter all kinds of bad things.

A brief silence.

"……Ah."

The person in the picture smiled.

——Although he couldn’t see his face clearly, Bai Yuan could feel that he was smiling.

It was a smile that was a bit contemptuous, yet vaguely familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before. However, Bai Yuan searched through his own memories and those of his previous incarnation and could not find the source of this feeling, so he could only attribute it to an illusion.

It just happened in a flash.

I saw——

Bang——! ! !

The Haoran Sect cultivator who was caught in mid-air by Bai Yuan exploded directly!

That person was at the Nascent Soul stage, and his strength was not weak. At this moment, he exploded right in front of Bai Yuan... or rather, was "forced to explode." His entire body instantly expanded into a crimson ball of flesh. Even before the force of the explosion had escaped his body, visible ripples had already been stirred in the surrounding air. One can only imagine its power.

Facing this circumstances.

Bai Yuan's eyes remained calm, and his expression remained unchanged: "A mere trifle!"

Bai Yuan had anticipated this move.

After all, Shentu Jixue and Shao An had both used self-destruction when they were about to die.

However, Shentu Jixue is at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul, and Shao An is at the peak of the eighth level, which is much higher than the cultivation level of the man in front of him. Correspondingly, there is also a considerable difference in the power of the self-explosion; and Bai Yuan at this moment is more than ten times stronger than when he was in the "Cangwu Abyss".

One goes down and the other goes up.

Now, Bai Yuan seems extremely relaxed when facing this level of attack.

At this time.

She didn't even show any sign of panic, she just breathed lightly in front of her.

Then, a stream of pure spiritual power came out of Bai Yuan's mouth and weaved into a huge net in the air.

If you look at it from an outsider's perspective.

At this moment, it was as if a huge, invisible sphere appeared in the air in front of Bai Yuan, wrapping up the Yuanying realm cultivator. The flesh and blood fragments that exploded from their bodies were frozen in mid-air before they could even touch Bai Yuan, and could only explode inside this small "sphere".

Bang, bang——!

Amidst two suppressed roars, the "sphere" turned crimson.

Countless pieces of flesh and blood stuck to the inner wall of the "sphere". Bai Yuan then untied the "net" with ease, and they fell downwards, scattering like a bloody rain, which looked shocking.

"Elder Wen! Senior Brother Li!"

Among the Haoran Sect monks around, someone shouted loudly.

Some people were also indignant:

"This witch is truly vicious, having brutally murdered two of our senior brothers and elders! Let's all stand together and avenge them..."

"Humph!"

The noisy voice had just begun to sound when it was interrupted by Bai Yuan's cold snort.

She no longer took these minions, whose average strength was less than that of the fifth Nascent Soul stage, seriously. At this moment, Bai Yuan simply projected her consciousness onto the pile of rotten flesh, searching for clues related to the "Nether Soul Lotus." After searching fruitlessly, she sighed inwardly.

"The tail is handled quite cleanly."

"but……"

"never mind."

Because Bai Yuan had already subjectively determined that the person just now was a member of the Shentu family.

Only they, capable of obtaining the "Nether Soul Lotus" and secretly cultivating it, and simultaneously harboring grudges against both her and the Haoran Sect, possessed a sufficient motive to incite the two factions to attack each other. More importantly, this point was also corroborated by official documentation and forum posts in "Asking the Immortal."

As for the person she just "saw" through the black line, was he from the Shentu family...

This is not important.

As the saying goes, "Solving a crime requires evidence, but suppressing a rebellion only requires coordinates."

Judging from all the circumstances, the entire Shentu family had become corrupt and depraved, no different from demonic sects like the Blood Origin Sect, or even more despicable. From Shentu Jixue and Shentu Jialuo, whom Bai Yuan had encountered in the "Cangwu Abyss," to Shentu Hong, and then to that person just now...

Each one of them is more like a murderous demon than Bai Yuan, the "Blood Kite Demon Lord".

As for the other members of the Shentu clan, whom Bai Yuan had never dealt with, they had all participated in events such as the Jiang family's genocide.

Given this, the solution to them is simple. Simply eradicate this ancient cultivation clan, which has committed countless evil deeds and believes it can control the fate of all living things, from the world. Then, eliminate the demon clans with close ties to them, such as the Blood Origin Sect and the Sky-Splitting Black Eagle...

Then most of the troubles will be solved!

"Tingxue, please help watch over here. I'll go get Rao'er and the others."

Bai Yuan said to Ji Tingxue.

The latter nodded.

Then, Bai Yuan had an idea and drove the white tiger forward for a short distance at lightning speed, and found Jiang Rao who was being besieged by "Elder Wan" and others.

"Master!"

Jiang Rao's eyelids twitched, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on her face.

This action created a gap in her movements. Elder Wan seized this opportunity, suddenly concentrating all his spiritual energy into one spot, and thrust his sword towards Jiang Rao.

The sword seemed to be extremely powerful, beyond the scope of the ordinary Nascent Soul Realm, and even caused a crack in the star map formed by the [Five Elements Wheel]. Then the sword's power continued to slash towards Jiang Rao herself, causing alarm bells to ring in her heart, and she hurriedly tried to concentrate her strength to resist.

However, at this moment...

All the images suddenly froze for a moment.

But Bai Yuan flicked his finger, freezing Elder Wan's movements as he attempted a sneak attack. Then, with a gentle flick of his finger, like brushing away a leaf drifting across the water... In an instant, the world turned upside down!

"?!!"

From the perspective of an observer, this scene was like time traveling backwards. However, it wasn't the entire world that was traveling backwards, but rather the events within this small world, which were rewinding to a dozen seconds ago. Elder Wan's sword force was withdrawn, the damage to the Five Elements Wheel healed, and then the surrounding Haoran Sect cultivators also retreated to their original positions...

It's like a movie has been rewound!

——[Way of Time], the power of reversal!

This law represents "time"! Bai Yuan had already grasped it back in the [Netherworld Sea of ​​Bitterness], but it wasn't until this transformation that she truly put it to use, unleashing incredibly astonishing results!

Wait until the picture freezes again.

Elder Wan opened his eyes wide in surprise and looked at the sword in his hand. For a moment he was unable to react to what had happened.

Bai Yuan appeared beside Jiang Rao, placed a hand gently on his shoulder, and said softly, "This time, I shouldn't be too late, Rao'er?"

"..."

Jiang Rao listened to these plain words, her lips moved, but before she could speak, tears welled up in her eyes: "Master!!"

【Volatility value +1500! 】

Bai Yuan raised the corner of her lips slightly, rubbed the top of Jiang Rao's head, and said softly: "Be good. Just step back behind your master and watch your master vent his anger for you."

Now that Bai Yuan is here, the next thing is easy.

She simply released her aura casually and said, "Get lost!" Most of the Haoran Sect's cultivators fled in panic. Elder Wan, the only one who remained, seemed intent on confronting Bai Yuan. With a single slap, he flew back, crashing through seven or eight layers of mountain walls before plummeting into the abyss, his fate unknown.

Seeing this, Jiang Rao whispered, "Master, that guy might be the mastermind behind all this conspiracy. We'd better capture him and interrogate him thoroughly to see if we can find any useful clues..."

“There is someone else behind the scenes, he is just a pawn.

"And, if I'm not mistaken, there are many pawns like him in the Four Sects of Righteousness..."

Bai Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, recalling the scene he had seen before.

——Beside the unknown member of the Shentu family, there were at least a dozen "Nether Soul Lotuses" floating. This number of "Nether Soul Lotuses" was enough to create dozens or even hundreds of "Yin Shen Puppets".

I'm afraid that in addition to the Haoran Sect, other sects have also placed a considerable number of puppets, waiting for the right time to be activated.

I just don't know if there are any powerful people in the God Transformation Realm among these "puppets"...

It is precisely because of this concern.

Therefore, Bai Yuan had intentionally held back a little when striking out with his palm just now, just enough to injure Elder Wan to the point of leaving him with only a breath left, but not immediately fatal. He had also intentionally left a little damage on him, so that he could later track down his whereabouts.

Bai Yuan wanted to see if he could use this thing as bait to catch a few big fish. If he could, that would be great, but if not, it wouldn't be a big loss.

"Let's go, Rao'er."

Bai Yuan waved and said, "Let's go meet up with Shuang'er and the others first, and then get ready to leave. We've been here long enough, it's time to go out and have some fun."

"Ok!"

Jiang Rao nodded vigorously, followed Bai Yuan, one in front and one behind, flying towards Ye Shuang'er on his sword.

……

“…Is it a failure?”

At this moment.

Thousands of miles away from the desolate mountains, in a remote mansion.

Shentu Hong woke up from his meditative state and looked at the shattered life chart in front of him. The expression on his face became a little subtle.

"I never thought that woman had comprehended the Dao of Time to such an extent. She could even heal the wounds left by the Purple Sky Divine Thunder Tribulation in such a short time... I'm truly surprised."

"..."

opposite.

The other two monks, who had the "Shen Tu" family crest on their bodies and looked slightly younger - they said "slightly younger", but in fact they were several hundred years old. They looked like they were in their forties or fifties, younger than Shen Tu Hong - looked at each other and were speechless for a moment.

To be honest, they did not expect the situation to develop to this point.

Looking back, "Blood Kite" was just an ordinary member among many demon cultivators. By chance, he got the title of "Demon Lord" by chance. However, in front of behemoths like the Shentu family and even the Blood Source Sect, he was still just a piece of trash that could be wiped out at any time.

At that time, they did not take action to eliminate the former, not because they could not, but because they were busy with other things and did not have the time, plus they were too lazy to do it - every year in the cultivation world, there are a few rising stars, and then they fall silently after a few years. Why is it necessary for them to take action and kill them one by one?

But now...

After being resurrected several times, this "Blood Kite" has unknowingly increased its strength to a terrifying level.

Even the thunder tribulation sent down by "Heaven" seemed to have no effect on her.

Not to mention the methods they used.

I had initially thought it was a "drive the tiger to devour the wolf" tactic, but instead of a wolf, the other side resembled a giant blue beast. And it was accompanied by two other giant beasts. Against three Spiritual Transformation Realm masters, the Haoran Sect's limited manpower was a complete joke, effortlessly neutralized.
