Villain Master, my disciples all want to backstab me

……

Until the figures of the master and disciple walked away.

The powerful pressure from the Spirit Transformation Realm disappeared, and the righteous cultivators breathed a sigh of relief. They wiped the sweat from their foreheads and felt that their clothes on their backs were soaked.

"Is this the feeling of oppression from the Demonic Heavenly Monarch? It's so terrifying..."

"The Blood Kite Demon Lord is so terrifying!"

"Fortunately, Peak Master Baili was able to frighten her, otherwise I'm afraid we would all be killed here today."

In a sense, what the last person said is actually true.

However, Baili Qingfeng himself obviously did not think so. After all, from his perspective, he was really intimidated by Bai Yuan's momentum just now. He didn't even have the courage to draw his sword. In essence, he had already lost this battle. At this time, he felt a sense of depression in his heart that was difficult to dissipate.

Turning around, he saw Chu He still kneeling on the ground, and he was even more furious: "That devil has left, why are you still kneeling here?!"

"Uncle Master, I..."

Chu He also had no words to express his pain.

As the current senior brother of the Tianyuan Sword Sect, he certainly had to maintain his dignity. Now, he was groveling before the notorious demon in front of his fellow elders, even the outer sect cultivators. If word got out, he would probably be crippled and expelled from the sect.

But...some kind of rules that were enforced by law bound him, making it impossible for him to get up even if he wanted to.

In the end, it was Jiang Rao who came up from behind and helped Chu He up.

"...Thank you, Junior Sister Jiang."

Chu He lowered his head, did not dare to show off, and quietly stepped aside.

Jiang Rao smiled slightly without saying a word. She glanced at Chu He calmly, then looked at Ji Tingxue who was standing opposite with a sword in hand, with a thoughtful expression on her face.

Chapter 48 Cutting out the roots

the other side.

In a forest nearly a thousand miles away from the "Waterfall Cave".

As the ground loosened, Bai Yuan and Ye Shuang'er emerged from the ground and appeared in the clearing in the forest.

Bai Yuan changed his hand gestures, and the ochre-yellow protective layer shaped like an eggshell around the master and disciple quietly dissipated, revealing their figures.

【God Travel Talisman】

For the sake of bravado, Bai Yuan immediately used this talisman after leaving the waterfall cave, then dragged Ye Shuang'er along and ran nearly a thousand miles in one breath. Only when they saw the light of day again did she breathe a sigh of relief, patting her towering chest. She felt her clothes on her back were soaked.

"It was a close call. I almost got caught."

“…exposed?”

Ye Shuang'er blinked, as if she had just come to her senses: "Master, could it be that you were just pretending?"

"You just realized it..."

Bai Yuan rolled his eyes, feeling anxious about the intelligence of his silly disciple.

However, considering that Ye Shuang'er, as an experience baby, had provided her with a large amount of fluctuation value, she still patiently said, "You also know how serious my previous injuries were. Even with my spiritual roots destroyed, I recovered to my peak cultivation in just a few days... Do you think such a thing is possible?"

"Well……"

Ye Shuang'er thought about it seriously and blinked: "If it's Master, then it's still possible, right? I believe in Master's ability!"

"...Then I, the Master, really appreciate your trust."

Bai Yuan sighed and began to doubt whether he needed to explain any further.

Maybe……

It was because of Ye Shuang'er's unintelligent appearance that she was able to provide so many fluctuation values. If she was really forced to change it and taught to become as cunning as Jiang Rao, it might not be good. You know, Jiang Rao hasn't given her any fluctuation values ​​yet...

"Forget it. Anyway, it will take me some time to recover my cultivation. During this time, you should just be quiet. When I have achieved great power, I will lead you to conquer the Tianyuan Sword Sect."

"Oh……"

Ye Shuang'er nodded. After a while, she seemed to remember something and asked softly, "If Master wants to destroy the Tianyuan Sword Sect, then Second Senior Sister..."

"Although I may not know Second Senior Sister very well, I believe she definitely doesn't intend to embarrass Master. If it really comes to that kind of situation in the future, Master, could you please, for the sake of our past friendship, show some mercy and spare her life? If so, Shuang'er would be willing to do anything!"

"Oh?"

Bai Yuan raised an eyebrow and said deliberately, "Even if I implant the 'Blood Tide Heart-Eating Gu' into your body, it won't matter, will it?"

“…No, it’s okay.”

Ye Shuang'er hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and agreed.

Looking at her expression, Bai Yuan couldn't help but laugh, "Silly girl, your master was just joking with you. As for your Second Senior Sister, I will make the final decision myself."

Bai Yuan estimated that the effects of the [Purifying Divine Smoke] would wear off in a few hours. Theoretically, once the effects wore off, she could remotely activate the "Blood Tide Heart-Eating Gu" to manipulate or even kill Jiang Rao from a thousand miles away.

However, this method is a very bad strategy.

Objectively speaking, Jiang Rao's murder of her master was justified, with the fault primarily placed on the former Blood Yuan, not her own disciple. Furthermore, Bai Yuan, now with her spiritual roots regenerated, no longer needed to be as cautious as before arriving in the "Yuankong Secret Realm." As long as her cultivation recovered somewhat, she could completely seize control of the situation and, with her own strength and determination, "conquer" the rebellious Second Disciple.

If successful, it will be another place to extract "fluctuation value".

If you really can't be convinced, it's not too late to consider taking action.

But before that...

Bai Yuan still has to do something to eradicate the problem completely first.

"The direction that the Fire Qi Sword Sect elder fled from just now should be in this area, right?"

Bai Yuan took out a jade box from his arms and opened it. A poisonous insect shaped like a moth jumped out of it, circled in the air, and flew in a certain direction.

"Shuang'er, stay here and don't move. Your master will be back soon."

Bai Yuan gave Ye Shuang'er some instructions, then used his skills to quickly catch up with the poisonous insect in mid-air.

……

"Huh, huh..."

The elder of the Huoqi Sword Sect stopped in a forest and touched his head first. When he found that his head was still there, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"You actually survived?"

"What? My cultivation has reached this point, and even the Blood Kite Demon Lord can't keep me here?"

"Ha, ha, ha, that's great! It's just a pity for those fellow disciples. I'm afraid they will all die at the hands of that devil!"

After being immersed in the feeling of "I am so strong" for a while, the elder of Huoqi Sword Sect suddenly felt something was wrong.

While confidence was a good thing, his cultivation was only at the eighth level of the Golden Core, not yet at the Nascent Soul stage. He was almost two realms away from the Spiritual Transformation Realm Blood Kite. Given such a huge disparity in strength, he had actually managed to escape… Thinking about it carefully, it was truly bizarre.

"Could it be..."

Could it be that the Blood Kite Demon Lord favored him and deliberately spared his life?

This is obviously unlikely.

So……

"Could it be that as the disciple of Tianyuan Sword Sect said, that demon is not at the Spiritual Transformation Realm?!"

"No, no... If that's the case, can't Baili Qingfeng see it?"

"Or is it that Baili Qingfeng has already seen through it and is just pretending not to see it, so that he can kill the devil when she is at her most complacent?"

"Or perhaps, Blood Kite is deliberately showing weakness, pretending that his strength has not yet recovered, in order to lure the Tianyuan Sword Sect into making a move, and then strangle them with the force of thunder?"

The elder of the Huoqi Sword Sect was in a dilemma, with true and false possibilities constantly alternating in his mind.

Regardless, since he had already escaped from the waterfall cave, it was impossible for him to go back and verify his hypothesis. Adhering to the principle of "a friend's death is better than my own," he assessed his surroundings and headed in the opposite direction of the waterfall, intending to find a place to recover his energy before considering other matters.

We walked like this for about ten minutes.

The elder of the Huoqi Sword Sect suddenly stopped and looked forward with a sense of something.

In the woods where he was, above a towering tree, a girl in red was sitting there leisurely, holding a bunch of grapes in her hands, her crystal-clear bare feet dangling gently in the air, as if she had been waiting for a long time.

I seemed to hear footsteps.

The girl in red leaned forward slightly and waved: "Hello~ See you again."

Chapter 49 Destroying corpses and eradicating traces

“You…you?!”

The elder of the Huoqi Sword Sect was stunned for a moment before he recognized Bai Yuan. At the same time, he felt the aura of a powerful person in the Spirit Transformation Realm emanating from the other party, and his face suddenly changed.

Even though he had just imagined so much in his mind, and even guessed the correct conclusion that "the Blood Kite Demon Lord is just a facade", the moment he actually saw Bai Yuan, he was immediately overwhelmed by a huge fear, and only two thoughts remained in his mind:

The first was to turn and run, just as he had done before.

The second one knelt down and begged for mercy, praying for a glimmer of hope for life from the Demon Lord in front of him.

As for taking action...

If he really had the courage, he would not have run away from the waterfall just now, but would have turned back and fought side by side with Baili Qingfeng and others.

"Why, you look surprised to see me? Are you planning to run away from me again?"

The girl in red on the tree raised the corner of her mouth, revealing an expression that seemed to be a smile.

The Fire Qi Sword Sect elder, struck by what he was thinking, trembled for a moment, and looked at Bai Yuan with even more fear: "You...are you a human or a ghost?! You were just over there with the people from the Tianyuan Sword Sect... Could it be that you had already killed Baili Qingfeng and the others, which is why you chased them here and found me?!"

"Well, that's about right."

Bai Yuan thought for a moment and gave an ambiguous answer: "You're going to die anyway, so there's no need to worry about things that have nothing to do with you. When you pass through the gates of hell, remember to say hello to the starving ghosts for me, and hope you'll be reborn in a good life in your next life."

"……die?"

The elder of the Huoqi Sword Sect was stunned for a moment, his face showing an expression of unwillingness and disbelief, as well as a sudden determination to fight to the death at the critical moment of life and death.

but……

"Goodbye, stranger whose name I don't know."

Along with this sentence.

Bai Yuan raised his left hand and made a sword-pointing upward gesture.

In an instant.

A buzzing sound was heard behind the surrounding bushes, under the fallen leaves, in the tree holes, and in the stream. It was a flying sword that had been buried in advance. At this moment, it broke out of the ground and shot towards the elder of the Huoqi Sword Sect with a swift whistling sound!

The latter opened his eyes wide in panic and wanted to resist a little longer, but the flying swords closest to him suddenly exploded in mid-air. The moment the rune spell was broken, violent spiritual power rushed over accompanied by flames, like a cannonball, tearing apart the protective barrier held up by the elder of the Fire Sword Sect.

This "self-destruction shock" is also a common way to use a flying sword, but Bai Yuan was unable to use it before due to his physical injuries. Now that he has rebuilt his spiritual roots, he is able to use it.

The next second, the remaining flying swords swarmed in and completely submerged the elder's body.

Ping Pong Pong...

After a series of crisp knocks and collisions, the Fire Qi Sword Sect elder's movement of swinging his sword to resist gradually stopped, and his aura quickly weakened.

When the dust settled, only the remains of a few broken swords and a corpse riddled with holes from the poison remained.

"...Unfortunately, five more flying swords have been consumed. There are less than fifty flying swords left from my predecessor's creation."

"Before your cultivation level recovers to the Nascent Soul stage, you have to use it as sparingly as possible."

Bai Yuan said this, exerted a little force on his body, and jumped down from the tree trunk.

pat-

The white bare feet stepped on the clearing in the forest, making a slight sound.

Because of the spiritual power, Bai Yuan's feet did not directly contact the ground, so the soles of her feet were spotless.

"Buzz..."

Without a single movement, the flying swords circled back to her, swaying gently in mid-air. Blood dripped from the hilts and flowed along the grass in the forest. The surrounding snakes, insects, rats, and ants began to stir, but because they sensed the vague murderous aura emanating from Bai Yuan, they dared not act rashly.

Bai Yuan walked forward a few steps and came to the side of the Huoqi Sword Sect elder.

He squatted down and fumbled around with his little hand for a while. He found a storage bag in his palm, plus a whip-shaped magic weapon of decent quality. These were probably the trump cards that this guy had not had time to use yet.

"Tsk, another pauper."

After confirming that there was nothing valuable on this guy, Bai Yuan took out a bottle of corpse powder from his pocket and sprinkled it evenly on his body.
