Villain Master, my disciples all want to backstab me

"However, breaking through to the Spiritual Transformation stage requires a relatively quiet environment, and one must go through a thunder tribulation during the process. We may not have that much time right now."

After all, speed is of the essence in war.

The purpose of their trip was to deal with the Shentu family. As the local tyrant in this area, the Shentu family must have many spies spread out around the outskirts of the clan territory. As long as they appear, they will most likely be discovered - they may even have been discovered now.

If we delay any further, we will lose further opportunities. Then it will be difficult to raid the Shentu family and rescue Yan Shu.

"Too."

Bai Yuan nodded: "Then let's meet up with Peak Master Yun Wuya first and discuss a more detailed plan."

Yun Wuya from the Tianyuan Sword Sect had come to this area a month or two ago, ready to rescue Yan Shu on behalf of Tianyuan Mountain.

However, because the entire Shentu family lived in a secret realm, until the "Four Demon Kings Incident" broke out and Jiang Rao left Tianyuan Mountain, the Lord of Yunfeng still had not found an opportunity to sneak into the Shentu family. The original plan was therefore temporarily deadlocked, and even affected the overall deployment of Tianyuan Mountain to a certain extent.

However, considering that Yun Wuya has been here for two months, he should have figured out some of the situation of the Shentu family.

Therefore, Bai Yuan planned to meet up with him first and then act together.

This way we can have more manpower and save some effort.

Chapter 245 Bai Yuan's Cat Tail

Later in the day.

Jiang Rao contacted his own [Night Sparrow Sect] via carrier pigeon, and received intelligence from them regarding Tianyuan Mountain. Then, leading Bai Yuan and his group, they headed northwest, where they found Yun Wuya and his group, who had been lurking in a seemingly unremarkable reed marsh.

The latter, as the master of a peak in Tianyuan Mountain and a powerful person in the Spirit Transformation Realm, is naturally not someone that everyone can see.

But after all, half of Jiang Rao's identity is from Tianyuan Mountain.

So he just showed his face in front of the disciple on duty and was successfully taken to the rear.

"Uncle Yun, how are you?"

“…It’s Junior-Martial-Nephew Jiang.”

Seeing Bai Yuan and his group beside Jiang Rao, Yun Wuya narrowed his eyes slightly and the expression on his face became a little subtle.

After all, Tianyuan Mountain and Bai Yuan were one righteous and one demonic. Essentially, they were enemies. Even with Jiang Rao's relationship, the Tianyuan Sword Sect could only pretend to ignore Bai Yuan, but they wouldn't cooperate with her. If such news were to spread, it would have a significant impact on Tianyuan Mountain's reputation.

——As the leader of the righteous path, he actually colluded with the evil path!

——If even Tianyuan Mountain and the Blood Kite Demon Lord can cooperate, then can these second- and third-rate sects like them also temporarily cease fire with the demonic sect?

"This one……"

Jiang Rao glanced at Bai Yuan and paused for a moment. "Master and I are aware of Uncle Yun's concerns. In that case... how about we attack the Shentu family separately instead of acting together?"

"Tianyuan Mountain and the Shentu family have a grudge, as does the Blood Kite. Both parties simply happened to appear near the Shentu family on the same day and attacked them simultaneously... So, there's nothing the other sects can say about this, right?"

"Besides..."

Food is the original sin.

If Bai Yuan and Yun Wuya could successfully complete this attack with overwhelming force, kill a large number of Shentu people, rescue Yan Shu, and finally escape unscathed, then the cultivation world would naturally not criticize their actions, but would only lament that such a powerful Shentu family had to suffer such a fate.

But if the attack fails...

No matter what people say, they can only bear it.

"No matter what, Yan Shu is still in the hands of the Shentu family. Master Yunfeng doesn't want to see Master Yanfeng continue to suffer there, right?"

"..."

Bai Yuan's last words became the straw that broke the camel's back.

Yun Wuya sighed and nodded: "Okay then."

The general direction of "cooperation" has been determined.

But the specific strategy still needs to be discussed.

According to Yun Wuya, they have basically determined the coordinates of the Shentu family's secret realm, and have spied on some signs from the outside world. In theory, they can try to send people to sneak in.

However, the Shentu clan's foundation was too strong, even more formidable than the Xueyuan Sect's. Furthermore, outsiders had no idea of ​​the structures within their clan territory, making it impossible to formulate a pre-emptive infiltration plan. Yun Wuya was the only one at the Spiritual Transformation Realm. If they acted rashly and were to fail, all the Tianyuan Sword Sect disciples involved in the operation would likely be wiped out.

"...According to our investigation, the weak points of this secret realm are here and here."

Yun Wuya used his finger as a sword and made a few simple gestures on the sand, outlining a rough outline of a shape.

Among them, the two places he pointed out were one nearby and the other to the north.

"What does Sect Master Blood Kite think?"

"...Master Yunfeng should be planning to sneak in through the closer entrance. Then we should choose the one to the north."

Bai Yuan pondered for a moment and said.

"Okay. Then how do you infiltrate..."

"It all depends on your ability."

Among the peak masters of Tianyuan Mountain, Yun Wuya was considered relatively adept at formations. He also had reached the Spiritual Transformation Realm and had been in this area for approximately two months. It was only natural for him to use this time to repeatedly observe and explore a method to unlock the Shentu clan's secret realm.

Although Bai Yuan had just arrived, she possessed the [Exquisite Dice], the two characters "Seal" and "Destroy" within which both possessed the power of spatial laws. If all else failed, Ji Lingyun, a Return to Void Realm expert, could provide a backup.

So it shouldn't be difficult to complete this infiltration.

Next.

Jiang Rao spoke again and asked Yun Wuya a few questions about the "War to Eliminate Demons".

"...I see. Are our sect members actually on the verge of attacking the Blood Source Sect's headquarters?"

"Yes."

Yun Wuya nodded. "The Blood Source Sect has a total of four Transformation Gods. The Blood God Son was injured by... Fellow Daoist Xue Yuan, and the two Hall Masters Gu and Xing were injured by the Sect Master. Now there is only one newly promoted Transformation God available. As long as their ancestors don't take direct action, this time they will definitely be able to severely damage the Blood Source Sect, or even destroy it."

"Good good."

Jiang Rao pursed her lips, her eyes flashing with pleasure.

The culprit behind the destruction of the Jiang family was the Shentu family, but the Xueyuan Sect and the demon clan were also to blame.

Now, although he did not take revenge personally, Jiang Rao was still very happy to hear the news of their impending destruction.

The demon clan had already lost several Spiritual Transformation Realm cultivators; if they could deal a few more ruthless blows to the Shentu clan, the Jiang clan's demise would be largely avenged. Jiang Rao figured it wouldn't be too late to settle the remaining grudges after he achieved a Spiritual Transformation breakthrough.

At this point, the conspiracy about cooperation came to an end.

Bai Yuan and his group left where Yun Wuya and others were, and headed north.

At this time, the sky gradually darkened.

Although they had not seen any members of the Shentu family yet, the air had already become tense, like sticky glue... No, not "like", the air in this area had really become sticky. When Bai Yuan and his group passed through an invisible boundary, several people felt their breathing stagnate almost at the same time, and the circulation of spiritual energy became obscure.

"...Is this the work of the Shentu family?"

"Could this method be some kind of special formation?"

Out of caution, Bai Yuan used the "Shadow Travel" ability, and his body turned into a huge shadow, covering Qingluo and others.

With this move.

A pair of cat ears gradually grew on top of her head.

The tailbone area also became numb and itchy, and with the surge of heat, a black cat tail passed through the gap in the [Galaxy Fantasy Yarn] and came out from behind her buttocks, slightly propping up the [Rainbow Dress] outside.

"...?"

This was the first time Bai Yuan used the magical power of "Moon Shadow Cat Demon" after integrating the [Moon Cat Earrings] into her body - or to be more precise, after Ji Lingyun got them into her body.

The sudden changes in her body caught her off guard.

Instead, Qingluo was the first to notice something was wrong. She lowered her head and saw the furry tail sticking out from under her dress. Her eyelids twitched, and then her expression showed understanding.

Yes.

She had long known that "Master possessed Moon Cat bloodline." It was precisely because of this that she had mistakenly identified Bai Yuan as a patriarch of the Shadow Leopard Clan. So, it wasn't surprising that Bai Yuan was now displaying cat-like characteristics. It even made Qing Luo lick her lips subconsciously, giving rise to a different thought—

Cats have bones in their tails.

These caudal vertebrae, an extension of the spine, give a cat's tail its remarkable flexibility and its combination of softness and hardness.

and so……

If this tail is used for some special things...

"Hey, Master, what is this?"

Ye Shuang'er stretched out her hand curiously and grabbed under Bai Yuan's clothes.

Bai Yuan had just obtained this tail and had not yet fully mastered how to use it. When he was not paying attention, it was grasped by the little girl's palm. His whole body immediately trembled, as if there was an electric current extending from the tip of his tail to the top of his head, and he felt strange all over.

"Shuang'er, don't... mmm..."

Bai Yuan's words were interrupted by Ye Shuang'er kneading the cat's tail.

Just at the moment when the tail was grasped by the other party's hand.

Bai Yuan only felt her whole body tremble, as if a sensitive part of her body was grabbed by the other party. A tingling sensation spread throughout her body, causing a surge of heat in her lower abdomen, and her whole body became a little strange.

"Hiss..."

Bai Yuan took a deep breath and suppressed the blush on her face.

Then he turned around as if nothing had happened, slapped Ye Shuang'er's hand away, and then controlled the cat's tail to droop, gently wrapping the tip around his ankle. "It's already this late, and you're still making a fuss... This place is very close to the Shentu family. We could encounter a fight at any time. You all should be vigilant."

"Oh……"

Ye Shuang'er let go of her hand somewhat reluctantly, but her eyes were still fixed on Bai Yuan's swinging tail, as if she wanted to touch it but didn't dare to.

"...Okay, Shuang'er, if you really want to touch it, after we return triumphantly, I can fulfill your wish and let you touch it for a while."

Bai Yuan looked at the slightly depressed little girl and finally said something.

"Great!"

Ye Shuang'er was overjoyed.

Qingluo licked her lips beside her, with a look of anticipation in her eyes.

Jiang Rao and Ji Tingxue were relatively reserved, but they were also a little curious and seemed to want to experience it too.

Only the white tiger snorted and swept its thick tail behind it. "It's just a tail, why would so many people come to watch?" It had been hanging from its body for hundreds of years, and no one seemed to be interested in it... Well, it seemed to have had one hundreds of years ago, but that was in its childhood, long buried in the deepest part of its memory.

"Let's go."

Bai Yuan waved his hand, and the group continued to move forward in shadow.

Then he carefully searched for the "entrance" to the Shentu family's land.

This process was not easy.

Yun Wuya, who was at the Spirit Transformation Realm and had in-depth research on battle formations, had stayed in this area for such a long time, but he had only determined the approximate location of the "entrance".

However, Bai Yuan and his group now have three Nascent Souls. Even if Ye Shuang'er, who is only good at one subject, is removed, there are still two, and both of them are in the late stage of Nascent Soul. Although Jiang Rao and Ji Tingxue are slightly weaker, they both come from extraordinary backgrounds and have extensive research in formations.

With the concerted efforts of everyone.

soon.

They locked onto a position.

“…This should be it.”

Bai Yuan stopped in front of an inconspicuous puddle, bent his knees and squatted, with his palms slightly covering it.

From the moment they entered this area, they had been feeling as if their breathing was being suffocated.

Can……

Only next to this small puddle did the feeling of oppression seem to disappear.

Through this shallow water.

Bai Yuan vaguely saw a scene that was different from the outside world.

But the scene was blurry and faint, disappearing into thin air after just a thousandth of a second. It was as if everything I had just seen was just an illusion.

"Are you all ready?"

Bai Yuan asked.

After getting approval from Qingluo and others.

She took a deep breath and placed her palm completely over the water. The moment her fingertips touched the water, a piercing chill surged into her body, causing Bai Yuan to frown slightly. Ripples began to form on the previously calm surface of the water, quickly spreading throughout the entire puddle.
