Villain Master, my disciples all want to backstab me

But at this moment...

Shentu Hanya was really surprised.

Because of this mask and this figure, he subconsciously thought of someone.

That is a character that exists in ancient legends——

The legend takes place in ancient times, when the "Eight Great Ancient Clan of Cultivation" had not yet taken shape, and there was no so-called distinction between good and evil in the world. Even the concept of "cultivation world" was vague. The entire world was in a state of chaos and ignorance, and everyone acted arbitrarily in the world based on their own instincts and likes and dislikes.

And it is in such a situation...

An exceptionally eye-catching presence appeared.

Although her name rarely appears in later classics.

However, her deeds have been passed down orally among ancient families like the Shentu family and are never forgotten.

As a descendant of the Shentu family, Shentu Jackdaw knew some details that others did not know:

This woman... should be dead.

It's not just the body that dies.

Even her soul was personally destroyed by the ancestor, and she traveled to the depths of the underworld to ensure that she would not enter the cycle of reincarnation. With her body and soul completely destroyed, it was impossible for her to appear again, let alone in such a terrifying manner.

Although they haven't really fought yet.

But Shentu Jackdaw could sense the cultivation emanating from Bai Yuan. It was enough to make him tremble with fear!

Could it be that……

This woman's current cultivation level is the late stage of Return to Void?

still is……

One step higher?

——The realm of heaven and man that theoretically no one can reach anymore?

"……not good!!!"

Shentu Hanya no longer let his thoughts wander, but took action immediately when he realized something was wrong!

"This woman is extremely dangerous and must not be allowed to stay!"

"If even I can't kill her or repel her... then the entire Shentu family will probably face a catastrophic disaster. Only the ancestor can personally take action to save us!"

Shentu Jackdaw's movements were already very fast.

As a Return to Void Realm cultivator, his thoughts changed almost at the speed of light, and his attacks were also almost at the speed of light. Almost at the same time when the ball of flame emerged from the pit, he had already stirred up the blood-colored tornado around him, trying to attack Bai Yuan.

As powerful spiritual energy surged, countless wronged souls and evil spirits formed countless blood-red giant hands, as well as a large number of swords, spears and halberds, grabbing and stabbing at Bai Yuan. This scene was even more ferocious and terrifying than when he had previously dealt with Bai Yuan and others, and it was a terrifying sight.

If he had shown this attitude just now, Bai Yuan and the others might not have been able to hold on for that long.

however……

For "Bai Yuan", this response came too late.

At the same second that Shentu Hanya took action.

Bai Yuan also opened his eyes.

The pair of eyes covered by the bronze mask fell on Shentu Hanya as they opened, and their eyes met.

"!!"

Shentu Jackdaw's eyelids twitched suddenly.

What he saw were a pair of calm and indifferent eyes.

It seems as if he has experienced countless joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, life and death, and reincarnation, so he is indifferent to everything in the world, without any joy or sorrow.

However, deep in those eyes, there is a power that transcends life and death. Once people see it, they will unconsciously feel a chill all over their bodies, as if the whole person has been dragged into an endless hell, unable to distinguish the boundary between life and death, nor the past and the future.

Shentu Jackdaw was momentarily stunned, unconsciously ceasing his movements. The blood-red hands and giant spears that had already reached Guangyan, less than a hundred meters away from Bai Yuan, froze briefly in mid-air, unable to advance an inch.

"……Ah."

"Bai Yuan" raised the corners of his lips and smiled.

Although his face was covered by a bronze mask, both Shentu Hanya and Qingluo could feel that Bai Yuan was smiling.

"We meet again, the Shentu family."

"I thought after all these years, you would have learned your lesson and reformed, but I didn't expect... you're still as bad as before."

"..."

It seemed that because he had not spoken for a long time, "Bai Yuan"'s voice sounded a little low and obscure.

but……

As Bai Yuan spoke, Shentu Jackdaw came back to his senses from his slightly trance-like state. Then, thinking of the two sentences Bai Yuan had just said, his doubts were immediately gone.

Sure enough, it’s her!

It's her!

Although it is unknown how this woman "survived", she is obviously the powerful person who first appeared in ancient times and was killed by the ancestor of her own family.

The relationship between the two sides can't be said to be without grudges, but it can only be said to be a stalemate. Now that she has returned, the Shentu family is likely to face an unprecedented bloodbath. In the worst case scenario, perhaps everyone in this secret realm will be buried here!

"Why……"

Shentu Jia gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot: "Why are you still alive..."

"It's clear that your soul was completely destroyed back then. The ancestor even personally went to the depths of the underworld to confirm that your aura had been completely wiped out. But now... how is this possible..."

"Oh, indeed."

Bai Yuan nodded slightly, "Back then, I indeed underestimated your ancestor, leading to his death. But... you don't think that the Yellow Springs is the only place in this world where reincarnation is possible, do you?

"Besides, is it really that difficult to split the soul into two, cutting it into two completely unrelated things?"

Chapter 252: Leave your life to me!

"?!"

The corners of Shentu Jackdaw's eyes twitched again.

The kind of thing Bai Yuan mentioned...

Of course it is difficult.

The difficulty does not lie in dividing the soul.

This method is not uncommon in the cultivation world. Any cultivator with a certain level of strength, even a Nascent Soul, can do it. The technical difficulty is not high, the only difference is the degree of refinement.

but.

It would be different if the divided souls had nothing to do with each other.

This kind of thing is exactly the same as the former one. It cannot even be described as "difficult or not". Theoretically speaking, it is impossible to achieve!

Otherwise, the Blood Source Sect's "Six Soul Blood Curse" that can be imprinted on the soul would not have become the world's top tracking technique.

As for the monks who specialize in the art of divination, led by the Tianji Pavilion, they would not have such a respected reputation and status.

The divination techniques of the Tianji Pavilion are, in a sense, the nemesis of soul-splitting spells. This is because no matter how the separated souls flee or how far they go, their connection to the original body is impossible to sever. By calculating their approximate location and combining it with tracking spells, the escaping enemy can be recaptured, eradicating the root of the problem and preventing future trouble.

In addition...

Even after reincarnation, the souls of the past life and the present life are still connected.

Although the avenue of "reincarnation" deep within the underworld is a system independent of the mortal world, and even the Heavenly Dao cannot completely interfere with it, once a "reincarnated" being is reborn in the human world, it will be "registered" with the Heavenly Dao. The subsequent series of birth, aging, sickness, and death, karma, and retribution are all determined by fate and cannot be escaped.

This is why "supernatural powers are not as good as destiny."

and so……

How did this woman do it?

Could it be that she had truly fully comprehended the laws of the "Six Paths of Reincarnation" and had developed a system of her own besides life and death?

He could even use the "Soul Separation Technique" to separate a part of himself and create a separate individual, unaffected by cause and effect, untainted by fate, truly free from the constraints of heaven, transcending the Three Realms and excluding the Five Elements?!

How is this possible? !

If such a method really existed, how could Heaven not notice it? How could the ancestors remain unaware of it?

and also……

Why Bai Yuan?

Fellow practitioners of the Way of Time, what was her relationship with the woman from back then? Why had she returned to the world in her body? Was it coincidence? Or... was it premeditated?

If it is the latter, then what exactly was that woman secretly planning back then?

Questions popped up in Shentu Hanya's mind one after another.

But, there is no answer.

At this moment, Bai Yuan had no intention of continuing to talk nonsense with Shentu Hanya. She simply raised her other hand and said lightly, "I've already answered your question. Whether you understand it or not is your own business. In return for the answer from me..."

"Can you give me your life?"

"?!"

Shentu Hanya was stunned.

Then, he laughed in anger: "What are you talking about?!"

"I admit that you were very powerful back then. Not only did you create a set of techniques, but you also cultivated to the Heavenly Man Realm with them. If you had no descendants to continue your legacy, the 'Eight Great Ancient Cultivation Clans' might have become 'Nine Great Clans'... But, you don't think that you are still the same astonishingly talented Heavenly Man Realm expert you were back then, do you?"

"Even you, back then, perished at the hands of our ancestors. Your body and soul were completely destroyed, and you could only survive like a rat in a gutter, hiding in an unknown corner. If that's the case, then what makes you think you can kill me, Shentu Jackdaw?"

Shentu Hanya became more and more excited as he spoke, his entire face showing an exaggerated and crazy smile:

"You're just a defeated general, yet you have to jump out and oppose my Shentu clan... You're like this, and so is that Jiang family remnant. And there's also this descendant of the Divine Phoenix clan, and that poisonous Gu Ling... A bunch of guys who should have died in a deserted corner long ago, why, why did they all jump out and block my clan's path!"

"Wouldn't it be better to just die like that?!"

"..."

now.

A certain "descendant of the Divine Phoenix Clan" who was caught in the crossfire blinked, with a somewhat subtle expression on his face.

how to say……

Just half an incense stick ago, Qingluo really felt that the situation was hopeless, and planned to do as she said to Bai Yuan, burning her blood and essence to self-destruct, severely injure Shentu Hanya, and then buy a chance for her master and fellow sisters to escape.

but……

Before this plan could be implemented, the scene she saw changed drastically -

The master, who had been severely injured like himself and unable to fight again, unexpectedly leaped out from the depths of the pit again, and seemed to be a completely different person, displaying an aura comparable to Shentu Jackdaw... No, it should be said that Shentu Jackdaw was even more powerful. He was like a powerful being in the Heavenly Realm?!

This……

How is this going?

Qingluo had thought that her master might have been possessed by someone else.

This kind of thing wasn't uncommon in the cultivation world. Qingluo had encountered it a few times in the Eastern Wasteland, so she wasn't completely inexperienced.

But she always felt that the situation before her was not quite right.

Although Bai Yuan had a mask on his face, his appearance and temperament were quite different from before. In addition, his conversation with Shentu Jackdaw mentioned many keywords such as "Shentu Ancestor" and "Heavenly Realm", which should not be related to Bai Yuan.

but!

The spiritual aura emanating from that woman still belonged to Bai Yuan.

In other words, most of them belong to white kites.

The remaining small part, although a little unfamiliar, is also very similar to the white kite.

As a disciple who had chased Bai Yuan for nearly ten thousand miles and then had physical intimacy with Bai Yuan at a negative distance, Qingluo had in-depth contact and communication with the aura of every inch of her master's body. She knew it all and believed that she would not make a wrong judgment on this point.

Therefore.

She was a little confused about the situation before her.

Fortunately, the initiative in the situation had returned to Bai Yuan. Since her master was temporarily safe, Qingluo felt that she could observe the situation first before deciding on the next move.

Emotionally speaking, she still didn't want to burn her blood and essence at this moment and give up the world...
