Villain Master, my disciples all want to backstab me

Bai Yuan admitted.

At this time, Ji Lingyun beside him said, "Now that we've concluded our mission here, it's time to find a place to digest our gains and prepare for the final battle... How about going to my house? It's quiet there, and no one will disturb us. Plus, maybe we can even try to drag the head of the family into the crusade."

A thousand years ago, Bai Yuan XV had traveled with Ji Lingyun to the Ji Clan, met the then-Patriarch of the Ji Clan, and received considerable material assistance from him. However, he himself did not accompany the two, nor did he intervene in their decisive battle with the Shentu Ancestor.

And now...

Ji Lingyun obviously wanted to try to persuade Ji Taimei.

As the current head of the Ji family, the latter was a powerful Return to Void Realm cultivator, possibly even the strongest Return to Void human alive today, aside from Bai Yuan and Ji Lingyun. If he could be brought in to join the campaign against the Shentu ancestors, the success rate of this expedition would undoubtedly increase significantly.

Hmm... If the ancestor of the Divine Phoenix Clan is also willing to join, Bai Yuan feels that he may not need to prepare anything and can just lead a group of people into the wilderness.

pity.

These two Return to the Void may not be able to be invited.

Even if they can be invited, it is hard to say whether they will cooperate with them.

It is better to seize the time to cultivate trustworthy disciples around you, which will be more reliable.

present.

He transformed into Ji Lingyun and drew a void door in the air.

Then, Bai Yuan and the others, along with the Ji family members that Ji Lingyun had brought out from the Shentu clan territory, passed through the door and arrived at the Ji family secret realm thousands of miles away. Ji Lingyun knocked on the door and sent someone to inform Ji Taimei to discuss the details of the meeting.

It was around this time...

the other side.

Accompanied by a flash of blood-red light, Shentu Hong, who had been fleeing all the way, finally set foot on the territory of the Great Wilderness Forbidden Land.

"Hu, hu, hu..."

At this moment, Shentu Hong looked extremely embarrassed.

Needless to say, the double depletion of Qi, blood, and spiritual energy caused by the use of the Blood Escape Technique was even more shocking, but what was even more shocking was this guy's left arm.

His left arm looked as if it had been forcibly torn from his body. The tear near the shoulder was extremely incomplete, and upon closer inspection, one could see traces of burns. This was clearly the result of Qingluo, who possessed the blood of the Divine Phoenix and mastered the power of the laws of "fire."

"Damn the daughter of the Divine Phoenix! How dare they cause such severe harm to this old man... The Eastern Wilderness demon clan is a bunch of rubbish. They can't even handle a mere Phoenix demon in the Spiritual Transformation Realm, and yet they still want to annihilate the Divine Phoenix and unify the Three Realms?"

"It's just a daydream!"

After complaining a few words and venting some of the anger in my heart.

Shentu Hongcai finally sighed and returned to the reality that "the Shentu family is dead in name only". He looked up in a certain direction and said: "No matter what, we have arrived at the Great Wilderness Forbidden Land. As long as we reach the place where the ancestor is... everything will be fine!"

Can Chapter 262 be considered a suicide for love?

Ji family secret realm.

Located in the main hall among pavilions and towers.

Ji Taimei sat in the main seat.

Bai Yuan, Ji Lingyun, Qingluo, and the others took their seats on either side of the hall. Before each of them was a tray of refreshments, and the teacups were filled with emerald green tea leaves, emitting a delicate fragrance that was refreshing.

“…That’s probably the situation.”

Ji Lingyun picked up the teacup, took a sip, and ended her story.

It was probably near midnight.

Just half an hour ago.

Ji Taimei, the head of the Ji family, learned of the arrival of Bai Yuan and his party, and hurried over with his junior Ji Shuangtang to arrange this meeting.

then.

Ji Lingyun publicly revealed her true identity as the "Ji Family Saintess from a Thousand Years Ago" for the first time before everyone. Of course, Ji Taimei had known this identity for a long time, but the rest of the Ji Family, including Qingluo, Ye Shuang'er, and the others, were unaware of it. This statement was considered open and honest.

Also.

Ji Lingyun also served as Bai Yuan's mouthpiece, and briefly recounted the events concerning the Shentu family, including what Bai Yuan and his party had done tonight; and how the ancestor Shentu had been in the "Burial Immortal Cave" and "survived" in a special form for thousands of years; as well as some fragments about Bai Yuan's fifteenth life experience.

Bai Yuan had only mentioned this information to Qingluo and the others before, without going into details.

So, everyone listened very carefully.

"……I see."

"That ancestor of the Shentu family is actually at the Heavenly Man Realm? And he also had a grudge against Master's previous life?"

Qingluo narrowed her eyes slightly, a solemn expression on her face.

She was definitely willing to fight alongside her master, but before the battle, she had to see clearly one fact—

That is the realm of heaven and man!

As the disciple with the highest cultivation level among the three, Qingluo knows best the value of the "Heavenly Realm".

Previously, Shentu Jackdaw was only at the Return to Void Realm, yet he was able to outmaneuver four of them, overwhelming them. This was so intense that Bai Yuan had to wear the [Ashura Ghost Mask] and awaken her past life memories before she could defeat him. So... what would the next level, the Heavenly Man Realm, look like?

If you match...

With their strength, what are their chances of winning?

"It looks like it will be a tough battle..."

next to.

Jiang Rao was also thoughtful.

She was not just thinking about the chances of winning, but also about Ji Lingyun's words themselves - although the latter's narrative did not mention Bai Yuan's first to fourteenth generations, but considering the years when Shentu's ancestors were active and the time difference with the present, Jiang Rao still made some reasonable speculations and guessed most of Bai Yuan's real experience.

If that's the case...

Then the blood feud between them and the Shentu family would be even more intense.

Only Ye Shuang'er seemed a little excited——

She had never seen a living Heavenly Realm cultivator before, and she wanted to take this opportunity to broaden her horizons. Even if she couldn't defeat the other party and was killed... she was with her master, so there was nothing to worry about.

Speaking of...

If I die together with my master, can it be considered a suicide for love?

Ye Shuang'er thought so.

the other side.

"……I see."

Ji Taimei nodded slightly and turned her gaze to Bai Yuan. "I've long felt that Fellow Daoist Xue Yuan's background was somewhat unusual, but I've never been able to pinpoint the reason. I didn't expect there was such a connection... Now, should I call you 'Senior Bai'?"

"That's not necessary."

Bai Yuan smiled faintly.

She didn't really care what she was called. After all, she had lived through sixteen lifetimes and no longer cared about empty reputations.

but……

Now it becomes clear how Ji Lingyun and Ji Taimei should address each other.

After all, Ji Lingyun had always been a member of the Ji family, and she was born over a thousand years ago. If one were to trace back according to the family tree, then every member of the current Ji family would probably call Ji Lingyun "Grandma," even the head of the family, Ji Taimei, was no exception.

When Bai Yuan thought of that scene, he couldn't help but feel a little funny.

"……All right."

Ji Taimei was not one to dwell on details. Seeing that Bai Yuan had denied the title of "senior," he stopped talking and said after a moment's hesitation, "In fact, we knew a little about the Shentu family's actions before. We even sent people to the [Great Wilderness Forbidden Land] to explore the 'Immortal Burial Cave'.

"But that place is truly exceptionally dangerous, even more so than the [Netherworld Sea of ​​Bitterness] to the east. Even a Spirit Transformation Realm expert who sets foot there risks getting lost or even perishing. The area where the 'Immortal Burial Cave' is located is even more shrouded in chaos. Once you go, there's no return. That's why we haven't been able to obtain more information."

"Now, what Miss Bai Yuan and Ling Yun said has finally answered some of my confusions."

"Since the Shentu family's crimes are so heinous, and the Shentu ancestor is about to break free and bring great disaster to the world, then I, the head of the Ji family, naturally cannot escape from it."

"...So, Patriarch Ji is willing to go with us to the Great Wilderness to punish the main culprit?"

"Yes."

Ji Taimei nodded.

"That's great!"

Ye Shuang'er clenched her little fist and waved it lightly, looking excited.

Bai Yuan was also a bit surprised. A thousand years ago, when she and Ji Lingyun I arrived at the Ji family, they had tried to persuade the then-Patriarch of the Ji family to join them on their journey to the Great Wilderness, but he had declined. Unexpectedly, Ji Taimei had made a wise choice. With this Return to Void Realm expert joining them, the chances of success on this journey would undoubtedly increase significantly.

"Master Ji is very understanding and righteous. He is admirable."

"However, before this journey begins, we may need to make some preparations...Is it possible to borrow the Ji family's alchemy room?"

Hearing Bai Yuan's words.

Ji Taimei readily agreed, "No problem. From today on, all of the Ji family's resources will be at your disposal, Miss Bai Yuan. I'll have Shuangtang cooperate with you. Shentu Wushe was a former Heavenly Man Realm expert. It won't be enough to deal with him with only two or three Return to Void Realm experts... I'll visit some old friends and try to recruit more of them."

"Oh?"

Wow, this owner is quite capable.

But it’s also a good thing, because this way Bai Yuan can worry less. She was originally thinking of going to Tianyuan Mountain or somewhere else to attract some people.

present.

Bai Yuan didn't say anything else. He stood up casually and planned to start pre-war preparations as soon as possible.

Refining the blood drawn from Shentu Jackdaw; refining elixirs; crafting corpse puppets... There was a lot to do, and none of it could be completed in a short period of time. Considering that the Shentu ancestors had also learned of their movements, they had to hurry to avoid complications.

Chapter 263 Blood Division

With Ji Taimei's words.

The Ji family quickly started to operate.

Alchemy rooms, training rooms, and caves were quickly cleared out;

Then, one medicine cauldron after another, and all kinds of rare treasures were brought to Bai Yuan and Ji Lingyun.

These medicinal cauldrons were no ordinary items. Their quality surpassed Bai Yuan's previous Green Wood Cauldron by a significant margin, and were also superior to the several cauldrons she had previously seen within the Shentu clan's territory. It seemed the Ji family, as the foremost of the eight ancient clans and renowned for cultivating spiritual plants and medicinal herbs, possessed some truly extraordinary heritage.

It is worth mentioning that the girl from the Ji family named "Ji Shuangtang" also stayed.

"Greetings, Senior Bai."

Ji Shuangtang bowed to Bai Yuan, his attitude and tone seemed unusually respectful:

"The head of the family has already told me the specifics. My name is Ji Shuangtang, and I'm currently in charge of all the affairs within the Ji family. If you need anything, you can always tell me, and I'll be at your service as soon as possible."

"Oh."

Bai Yuan nodded.

This was her first time visiting the Ji family in this life. The only Ji family member she had met before, besides Ji Lingyun and Ji Tingxue, was the guard named "Ji Tao" - the guy who had escorted Ji Tingxue to Yinyue Mountain. He was not there this time, and it was unknown whether he had gone out to perform other tasks or something.

but……

Bai Yuan also has another identity as a "Asking the Immortal" player.

In that identity, she had met and communicated with many members of the Ji family, including Ji Shuangtang in front of her.

According to seniority, she is Ji Taimei's granddaughter.

Her cultivation level is at the third level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, comparable to that of Blood Yuan, the former "Hidden Moon Sect Master." Without considering those veterans at the Return to Void Realm, she's considered top-tier in the cultivation world. Furthermore, according to official data and forum statistics, her major is alchemy.

In this way, it can indeed help Bai Yuan and Ji Lingyun.

By the way, in the previous life's "Asking the Immortal", Ji Shuangtang was also a conquerable character.

Although this person was a bit older, she looked relatively young for a cultivator, around 30 years old. Furthermore, she had a more elegant and mature temperament than Yan Shu, and she looked very charming, which easily attracted the attention of some Cao Zei players.

Of course……

As a gentleman, Bai Yuan certainly doesn't have this kind of hobby... Yeah, that's right.

Even if she was a little interested, she wasn't familiar with the other party at the moment; it was just a simple guest-host relationship. And she already had Qingluo, Ye Shuang'er, Ji Lingyun and others... so there was no need to stir up trouble.

at this time.

Ji Shuangtang looked at the list of medicines that Bai Yuan had casually written and handed over, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. "Qingxuan Pill, Huoshen Pill, Xisui Pill, Bodhi Dahuan Pill... The pills that Senior Bai wants to refine seem to be of high quality."

"That's natural."

Bai Yuan nodded slightly: "The enemy we are facing is one of the earliest and strongest people in the Heavenly Man Realm in this world. Ordinary Gods don't even have the qualifications to fight him.
