Villain Master, my disciples all want to backstab me

Arriving here, Ji Tingxue bowed and said goodbye: "Thank you for seeing me off, Brother Bai. Now, let's say goodbye here. I will find out about the medicinal herbs as soon as possible. Once I have any information, I will find a way to contact you."

"it is good."

The two parties parted ways.

Ji Tingxue left alone along the same route she came from.

Bai Yuan continued to fly for another half day with Ye Shuang'er.

I have to say, this new mount is much more impressive than the [Cloud Piercer]. Not only does it look impressive and fly much faster, but it also feels soft and spacious, like sitting on a leather sofa. Bai Yuan's fear of heights didn't even flare up, and they returned to Hidden Moon Mountain smoothly.

Seeing the return of the "Sect Master", some of the elders of the Hidden Moon Sect ran over and paid their respects to Bai Yuan, saying a lot of flattering words:

"Welcome the triumphant return of the Sect Master!"

"The Sect Master took Junior-nephew Ye on a trip, and he actually tamed such a majestic demon beast. He is worthy of being a giant of the demonic path. We are honored to see him!"

"Now, who dares to covet my Hidden Moon Sect?"

"……Ah."

Bai Yuan took a quick look and didn't want to be polite with these evil demons. He nodded casually a few times. Even if he responded, it was just his predecessor's attitude towards them. "Nothing big has happened in the sect recently, right?"

"This one……"

The Lian Pharmacy elder named Zhou Ran hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice under Bai Yuan's gaze, "Nothing major, but there is a small matter that I'm not sure whether I should mention..."

"Cut the nonsense."

"Just two days ago, when you and Junior-Junior Brother Ye were still outside and had not returned, Liao Bin from the Blood Source Sect came to visit you on the mountain and wanted to meet you, but was sent away by the new elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, Zhu Liuying. There was a little friction during the process... That's what happened." Zhou Ran said.

Blood Origin Sect?

Bai Yuan's heart moved.

Was there... a scene like this in the game's plot? Or was this just a butterfly effect caused by my arrival?

According to the setting of "Asking the Immortal," Xue Yuan actually has a connection to the Blood Origin Sect. Back when she first murdered her master and left the seclusion, she once killed the only son of a Blood Origin Sect elder who remained in the mortal world, and was hunted by the sect for years. Later, as Xue Yuan's cultivation continued to improve, she became the notorious Demonic Heavenly Monarch, and the sect finally "let go of their grudges with a smile."

Because of this connection, Xue Yuan got to know some people from the [Blood Source Sect], including a demon cultivator named "Liao Bin".

After hearing the rumor that "Blood Kite was seriously injured", it was reasonable for Liao Bin to come on behalf of the sect to inquire about the situation.

I came here and didn't see anyone, so it made sense to turn back.

only……

"What a coincidence."

"Perhaps, the Blood Origin Sect noticed Jiang Rao earlier than the game mentions, but they weren't sure at first, so the relevant plot wasn't triggered until after Blood Kite died?"

If that's the case, then you can take advantage of it.

In a sense, the elders' compliments weren't entirely wrong. Although Bai Yuan's cultivation hadn't fully recovered, Bai Hu's injuries were almost healed, and his cultivation had risen to the seventh or eighth level of the Nascent Soul. With Bai Hu, dealing with a few Blood Origin Sect demonic cultivators shouldn't be a problem.

"When did Liao Bin leave?"

Bai Yuan glanced at Zhou Ran.

"The afternoon before yesterday."

"...Then he shouldn't have gone far. Send a few capable disciples out to investigate his whereabouts. Keep them discreet and report back to me immediately if you have any information."

……

"What happened to that ferocious white tiger that just passed by? It seems to have entered the territory of Hidden Moon Mountain?"

At this moment.

In a small town not far from Yinyue Mountain.

A demon cultivator dressed in black with a resolute face stood by the second-floor window of the inn, looking at the direction where the white tiger had just flown past in the sky with a solemn expression.

Chapter 69: The Reappearance of Murderous Intentions (First Update)

Liao Bin, an inner sect elder of the Blood Source Sect, is a 104-year-old Nascent Soul Stage Three cultivator.

He came to Hidden Moon Mountain for two reasons:

On the one hand, the news of "Blood Kite being severely injured by the Qingxuan Sect" had already spread throughout the cultivation world over a month ago. Many sects had deployed spies near Hidden Moon Mountain, hoping to see how the situation would develop and whether they could take advantage of the Hidden Moon Sect's destruction. This naturally included the Blood Origin Sect, one of the six demonic sects.

As a result, after waiting for many days, all I got was a "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons".

Afterwards, both parties became eerily quiet, as if nothing had happened.

——The Qingxuan Sect is quiet because they are unclear about the situation; the "Blood Kite" is quiet because they have gone to a secret realm.

But because Bai Yuan's actions were carried out in secret, even the people of Yinyue Sect didn't know where she went, let alone these spies. They could only stay here and continue to observe the situation.

on the other hand.

The Blood Origin Sect recently uncovered a clue: when they participated in the destruction of the Jiang family, they pursued the Jiang siblings all the way to Cangwu County, where they were attacked by unknown individuals, resulting in heavy casualties and the disappearance of the Jiang family's young daughter, who had been trapped. It wasn't until recently that the Blood Origin Sect unexpectedly discovered that the "Blood Kite" had also been present in the same area.

The time and place are all right.

In addition, there was a feud between "Blood Kite" and the Blood Source Sect.

Therefore, Liao Bin received a secret order from the sect to test the "Blood Kite"'s attitude.

But unexpectedly, after going up the mountain once, he was sent down by the other party's inner sect elder without even receiving a verbal message from "Blood Kite".

"...Humph! What a bullshit 'Blood Kite Demon Lord'! Forty years ago, when you were still a fourth-grade Jindan cultivator, I was already a half-step Yuanying. If I hadn't shown mercy when I was chasing you and didn't kill you on the spot, you wouldn't be where you are today? You're not tall, but you have such an air of arrogance!"

Liao Bin recalled the past and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

suddenly.

Several familiar figures caught Liao Bin's attention.

"Those few people... seem to be from Qingxuan Sect?"

……

Xiao Qing has been having a hard time recently.

A month and a half ago, he was a young leader praised by everyone in Qingxuan Sect. In front of many elders, the Sect Leader entrusted him with the important task of "killing the Blood Kite", and he was the most famous person at that time.

I thought that this mission was just a matter of picking up a loophole and it was something that could be easily accomplished.

I didn't expect that after arriving, there would be so many problems.

If he and Junior Sister Jiang Wanrong hadn't escaped quickly, they would probably have been killed as well!

(It’s all Ye Shuang’er’s fault. She actually dared to play tricks on me and Junior Sister Jiang, disrupting my plans!)

(And Elder Kongxu… don’t you have any idea whether your ‘Kongxu Sword Intent’ can hurt Xueyuan? You’re so arrogant and say that Xueyuan is already seriously injured and can’t be cured. I’m not going to cure you!)

(Du Sha is also a waste, what's the use of Yuanying level 5? He can't even beat a wounded Blood Kite, and he still wants to be the leader of Yinyue Sect?)

During these days, Xiao Qing cursed everyone in his heart who had caused the "Slay the Blood Kite" mission to fail, excluding himself. He even cursed his own master, Kong Xuan, and Jiang Wanrong, with his parents as the radius.

Good thing...

The Qingxuan Sect finally decided to send two more Nascent Soul Realm elders to kill Xue Yuan while he was weak, to prevent any further complications. As long as they could successfully kill the Demonic Heavenly Monarch and elevate the Qingxuan Sect's reputation, it would be a win-win in the long run.

In order to increase the success rate of the assassination, Xiao Qing, a disciple who was familiar with the situation in Yinyue Mountain, was also sent out.

(Fuck, why do I need to do such a trivial thing? The huge Yinyue Mountain is right there. What's there to think about? I can just fly up and rush the Blood Kite, right?)

Xiao Qing thought this in his heart, but he spoke respectfully to the two elders, "Elder Kongwen, Elder Yue, Hidden Moon Mountain is just ahead. When Junior Sister Jiang and I came here last time, we already investigated the situation. The demon's residence is on the south side of the mountainside, in a blue brick and red tiled bedroom. There's also a secret room inside the bedroom that only Xue Yuan and his disciple Ye Shuang'er can enter and exit freely."

"So, have you investigated the reason behind the 'Night Parade of One Hundred Demons'?"

"I'm not entirely sure, but the conditions for using this kind of ghost cultivation technique are generally very harsh, and it's extremely detrimental to one's virtue. According to my calculations and those of Junior Sister Jiang, Du Sha met his tragic death last time when he went to the Blood Kite Dormitory on an inauspicious day and at an inauspicious hour. So, we can choose the hour of 15:30, when the Yang energy is at its peak, to strike..."

Listen to Xiao Qing's advice.

The two Qingxuan Sect elders looked at each other in bewilderment.

The main reason this action was classified as an "assassination" was because they didn't want to engage in a full-scale war with the Hidden Moon Sect right now, which would cause unnecessary casualties. But... if they broke into the other sect leader's bedroom in broad daylight at noon, would that still be called an "assassination"?

After a brief moment of contemplation, Elder Yue nodded slightly. "According to the map provided by Junior-Martial-Sister Wanrong, the demon's chamber is located in a corner of the Hidden Moon Sect, some distance away from the other buildings within. If we sneak in from this forest, find a suitable hiding place in this area, lie dormant until noon tomorrow, and then strike when the sun is at its hottest..."

"Theoretically, it is possible to complete the plan of killing Blood Kite without alerting the other disciples."

"However, it's still unknown how much of Blood Kite's strength has recovered. To ensure success, we may have to use our respective trump cards the moment we meet, and make sure to kill with one strike!"

"... Let's give it a try. Didn't Junior Brother Xiao say they had infiltrated the Hidden Moon Sect once before? Perhaps the defenses here are more lax than we thought."

After agreeing on a time, the two elders began to deduce the details of the assassination.

……

at this time.

Bai Yuan, who was on Yinyue Mountain, had no idea that a conspiracy against her was brewing.

She is currently busy building a nest for the white tiger.

Hmm...that's right.

After all, the white tiger was an ancient beast, and its size was enormous; ordinary human houses simply couldn't accommodate it. Bai Yuan couldn't possibly use the entire hall of her bedroom as a bedroom. So, she chose a vacant area in her bedroom yard and built a large cat bed out of bricks and cotton wool.

This job was mainly done by the disciples of Yinyue Sect. Ye Shuang'er was directing them from the side, while Bai Yuan stood beside them with his hands behind his back, portraying the aloof character of "Blood Kite Demon Lord".

By the way, I called the little waste out and had a few words with him, and then looked at the existing points:

Current Fluctuation Value: 2100

Of the 2100, most were provided by Ye Shuang'er, and a small portion came from Jiang Rao and Ji Tingxue.

As expected, when it comes to extracting the volatility value, it still depends on the little girl.

Bai Yuan was just thinking about this when Ye Shuang'er came bounding over, shaking her head at him as if to claim credit. "Master, Master, Big Cat... no, Big Bai's house is already built. Can you see if anything's missing? If there's any problem, I'll have everyone fix it up."

Chapter 70 Ye Shuang'er: Can I sleep with Master tonight? (Second update)

“Oh, is it finished?”

Bai Yuan raised her head and glanced towards the courtyard wall, then glanced at Bai Hu beside her and raised her chin: "Why don't you go in and take a look yourself?"

"Woo——"

The white tiger growled, stood up from its crouching position, walked to the stone house, took a look, snorted a little in disgust, and then walked in reluctantly. He lay down on the soft cotton bed and began to close his eyes to rest.

Feeling its ferocious and violent aura of a ferocious beast, several disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect trembled in fear, not even daring to look at it.

"This guy still feels disgusted..."

Bai Yuan was a little amused and passed on his thoughts to Bai Hu through the [Concentric Ring]: "Just make do with it for now, Dabai. After a while, when things settle down, I'll get you a proper place to live."

White Tiger: “…”

After all this busy work, it was gradually getting dark.

Several disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect bowed to Bai Yuan and said goodbye, then went back to practice or do other things.

"Shuang'er, you should go back and rest early. You've been running around with me all this time, and you've used up a lot of energy. Go back and get a good night's sleep. I'll assess your recent progress in cultivation another day."

After Bai Yuan said this, he was about to turn around and enter the hall.

But Ye Shuang'er didn't leave as she was told. Instead, she stood there awkwardly, wringing her hands, as if she wanted to say something. Her face was slightly flushed.

"what happened?"

Facing Bai Yuan's gaze, Ye Shuang'er's face turned even redder. She lowered her head and stammered, "Um... can I stay and sleep with Master tonight?"

"?"

Bai Yuan was stunned for a moment.

"I mean……"

Ye Shuang'er took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and seemed to be trying hard to muster up her courage: "I want to stay and sleep with Master, just like we did in the secret realm before...even if we don't sleep in the same bed!"

Bai Yuan: “?”

No, what you said... Did they sleep in the same bed in the "Yuankong Secret Realm"?

"presumptuous!"

Bai Yuan scolded him, his face stern as he said, "I was indeed very harsh on you before, and I have tried to make amends these days. However, you and I are master and disciple after all, and there is a distinction between seniority and inferiority. How can I let you stay overnight? It's getting late, so hurry back."

"I do not!"
