Villain Master, my disciples all want to backstab me

Although she had anticipated this when she drew the [Nine-Turn Exquisite Dice], the power of this dice was still stronger than she had imagined, or in other words... more terrifying.

not far away.

The white tiger finally descended from the sky and stood on the scorched earth far away from Bai Yuan. Its limbs were crouched low, its back trembling, its golden eyes fixed on her figure, its front and back claws digging deep into the rock. When their eyes met, Bai Yuan saw unspeakable fear in its beastly eyes.

This fear wasn't directed at Bai Yuan herself, but at the dice in her hand. The feeling it gave her was even more dangerous than when she was being hunted by the Wu Nian Sect!

If it had run a little slower just now, I'm afraid...

"One, two, three... The range of the power of the law is approximately forty feet centered on me, which is a circular area with a radius of one hundred and thirty meters."

"Within a hundred meters, all living things died instantly. There were no visible wounds or signs of bleeding. If I had to use a suitable description, it would be..."

Died of old age.

Bai Yuan stopped in front of a towering tree nearly 30 meters high. He gently slapped the trunk with his palm, and clusters of floating dust fell from above his head. What looked like withered yellow leaves on the surface turned into flying ashes with this light palm without using any spiritual power. Only a bare dead tree was left standing there, as if telling of a thousand years of loneliness.

"……I see."

The instruction manual that Little Waste holds does not provide a sufficiently detailed explanation of the mechanisms of "life", "death", "illusion" and "extinction".

But Bai Yuan had already roughly figured it out.

The law of "death" should be realized by extracting vitality.

In just a short moment, the vitality of all surrounding things was extracted, and the effect was as if the flow of time had increased ten thousand times. In a blink of an eye, the years withered and everything fell into deathly silence.

"So……"

"'Life', perhaps, is the opposite, giving these things vitality and restoring them to their former prosperity?"

Bai Yuan thought so and picked up the dice again.

This time, without waiting for her to move, the white tiger jumped directly into the clouds and flew thousands of meters in the air before daring to look down, apparently frightened by the scene just now.

"..."

Bai Yuan didn't blame him. After looking around carefully and confirming that there was no one within a few miles, he rolled the dice again.

Not "raw".

But it is "destruction".

The moment the word "Extinction" lit up on the dice, Bai Yuan felt a sudden, abyssal suction beneath her feet. She quickly drew her longsword and soared into the air, preventing herself from plummeting. Then she saw the entire valley slicing through as if by a divine blade. Within thirty feet, everything—rock, vegetation, earth, water... even the air—abruptly vanished, leaving behind only a mirror-smooth hemispherical crater.

"This is……"

Bai Yuan attempted to lower himself a little, tapping the pit wall with the tip of his sword. He saw the supposedly solid rock dissipate like mist. Even more terrifying was the faint flickering light at the bottom of the pit, a void left behind after space had been violently ripped apart.

She raised her hand again and picked up a rock and threw it into the pit. The rock disintegrated silently when it came into contact with the dim light, leaving no powder behind.

[Law of Destruction: Separate the designated space from the real world and banish it to the void]

A veritable "annihilation".

If such power were to act on a living person...

Bai Yuan couldn't help but gasp, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

It seems that this [Exquisite Dice] really can't be used carelessly. Even when trying it, one must be extremely careful, otherwise, if one is not careful, it may bring unimaginable and terrible consequences. Even she herself may not be able to stay out of it.

Come here.

Bai Yuan simply used his third chance.

This time it’s “illusion”.

Upon seeing the words on the dice, Bai Yuan's mind shifted, and the surrounding abyss and scorched earth returned to their original state. Suddenly, the vast mountain forest was filled with blood-red udum trees. The white tiger in the sky observed carefully for a long time before descending in confusion. It sniffed the seemingly ethereal fragrance of the flowers and then, opening its mouth, released a palm-sized wind blade that pierced through the seemingly real flower stems.

"Come."

Bai Yuan waved towards the void.

Another "White Kite" stepped out from the sea of ​​flowers, drew the Chixiao Sword from his waist, and the sword energy surrounded by flames slashed towards the petals, and instantly turned into a vast spot of light.

Then, as the white kite raised its head, the sky within a radius of several miles suddenly turned into a brilliant starry sky, and the Milky Way hung upside down like a waterfall.

[Law of Illusion: Concrete the caster's thoughts, constructing an illusionary realm centered on the host. The reality of the illusion increases with the strength of the spiritual consciousness.]

This power of law is somewhat similar to the [Red Rope Anklet], except that it doesn't require exploiting the fear of others, but can directly create illusions based on one's own subjective will. For Bai Yuan, it is an effective supplement to the [Red Rope Anklet] and [Bewitching Heart Bell].

With this ability, it will be much easier for her to cheat next time.

Chapter 89: Tian Yuan Questions His Heart

After three throws, the golden light on the surface of the [Linglong Dice] became slightly dimmer.

Especially the three sides of "Death", "Extinction" and "Illusion" seemed even dimmer than the other three sides, as if they were entering a cooling state.

"Perhaps this change in color means that the chances of them being thrown out next time are lower?"

Bai Yuan seemed to be lost in thought.

If that's the case...

This "random trigger" has some room for manipulation. That is, you can roll the sides you don't need in advance, and then when you roll the dice next time, the probability will no longer be 1/6, but can be increased to 1/3 or 1/2, thus achieving a certain degree of control.

and also.

"The scope of various rules shouldn't be completely fixed. They can expand as your cultivation and soul strength increase. Furthermore, objects within this range should be able to be further locked down and exempted, rather than being killed indiscriminately."

"Also, after all six sides are triggered once, this dice may undergo some other changes..."

"We need to try a few more times."

Bai Yuan sat on the newly grown grass slope, playing with dice and calculating silently in his mind.

next to.

The white tiger stood far away from her, its golden eyes fixed on her movements, its limbs and muscles knotted, as if ready to take to the sky again at any moment. This fearful look made Bai Yuan laugh.

"Well, no rush."

"There are still a few days until the meeting date agreed upon with Qingxuan Sect. There's still time to figure it out. If Qingxuan Sect really wants to set up something..."

Then this [Nine-turn Exquisite Dice] should be able to bring them some unexpected surprises.

present.

Bai Yuan put away the [Linglong Dice], cleaned up the scene briefly, and then called Bai Hu back to the bedroom.

——Of course, she walked back by herself. Because the "death" and "annihilation" just now had a huge psychological trauma on Baihu, he didn't dare to approach her at all.

This side of the bedroom.

Ye Shuang'er had been waiting eagerly. As soon as she saw Bai Yuan, she quickly came over and said:

"Master, Master, there's news from Sister Tingxue! She said she's collected those medicinal herbs we talked about last time through the Ji family, and she's planning to send them to Yinyue Mountain in the next few days!"

"Oh?"

Bai Yuan raised his eyebrows.

There are a total of forty-four kinds of medicinal materials required for the [Gu Ling Rong Xue Dan]. As early as when she just came out of the "Yuan Kong Secret Realm", she had already collected thirty-five of them.

As for the remaining nine types, she had already posted a reward on the black market through the Yinyue Sect after returning from this trip. Together with the ones sent by Jiang Rao and the one that Ji Tingxue was about to send, she had basically collected all of them.

Perhaps we can also ask for some from Qingxuan Sect and keep it as a backup.

Thus……

"Shuang'er, once Tingxue's batch of herbs arrives, I can start refining the Blood Melting Pill for you."

"really?"

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Ye Shuang'er immediately revealed a delighted expression, her face overflowing with happiness: "That's great! Once I refine this annoying 'poison body', I can help Master do more things!"

[Volatility +300]

Looking at the little girl's excited expression, Bai Yuan also smiled slightly and stretched his shoulders:

"Let's go. While it's still early, I'll take you for a walk in the mountains and see if we can repair the mountain protection formation."

In "Asking the Immortal", most of the regular sects of a certain scale have mountain protection formations.

The Yinyue Sect is of course no exception.

However, due to the Qingxuan hunting a few months ago, which resulted in the "Blood Kite" being seriously injured, the mountain protection formation, which mainly relied on the blood kite's power to maintain its operation, gradually came to a standstill. Moreover, due to the wanton destruction of spies sent by the major sects, it had long been riddled with holes.

This is also the reason why Xiao Qing, Liao Bin and others were able to easily sneak into the vicinity of Yinyue Sect.

With Bai Yuan's current cultivation level, it is not realistic to restore the mountain protection formation to its original state.

However, she thought that she could at least make some minor repairs and restore the early warning function.

Otherwise, if the Blood Source Sect really came to attack her, she might not be able to react and respond in time.

present.

Ye Shuang'er followed Bai Yuan with joy and began patrolling the mountains.

……

at the same time.

On Tianyuan Mountain, thousands of kilometers away.

A high-level meeting of relatively small size is being held.

In the meeting hall, smoke was rising from several bronze incense burners.

Meng Yueshan, the master of Yuelai Peak and wielder of the [Broken Moon Sword], rapped his fingers heavily on the black jade armrest, making a sound of metal clashing with stone that echoed throughout the hall.

The Yuelai Peak Master was known for his stern demeanor, and the furrow between his brows was deep enough to hold a sword. "The Jiang family genocide case involves many people, and the reasons and the truth are difficult to explain. But since this woman is Yu Qiuming's pawn, planted by him as an undercover agent in our Tianyuan Sword Sect, then..."

"Keeping it will be a source of trouble!"

As he spoke, Meng Yueshan cast his hawk-like gaze towards the kneeling girl in plain clothes in the hall: "In my opinion, kill her!"

"No!"

Yan Shu immediately refuted, the icy hairpin in her hair making a shattering sound. "Rao'er was forced by that demon to become his pawn, not by choice. If we kill her just for this reason, then what's the difference between us and those demon sects?"

"What did you say?"

Meng Yueshan's eyes shot over, his face filled with rage.

"Cough cough..."

Nearby, Youyun Peak Master Yun Wuya gently stroked his long, snow-white beard and interrupted, "Senior Brother Meng, please be patient, and Junior Sister Yan, please don't get too emotional. Although the Jiang Rao incident is complicated, there are still some details that corroborate with the intelligence we already have. Everyone, please calm down and listen carefully before making a decision."

The field was temporarily quiet.

Then the peak master who was in charge of the sect's intelligence spoke slowly, his voice as clear as if soaked in cold pond water:

"The Jiang family's genocide occurred twenty years ago and has become a well-known case in the cultivation world. Over the years, my peak has had disciples operating in Xizhou, secretly investigating the hidden truth. Recently, someone discovered the latest clues regarding the Jiang family's genocide, so I personally went there...

"Based on this information, what this girl said about the Jiang family should be true. Back then, there were indeed traces of Blood Origin Sect cultivators in Cangwu County, and their number was not small."

"In addition, Junior Sister Yan and the Sect Leader have conducted a detailed examination of Jiang Rao and have basically confirmed the presence of the 'Blood Tide Heart-Eating Gu'."

"As for Yu Qiuming... he's always been a loner, his whereabouts elusive. Now that he's injured, he's naturally hiding even further. Finding him and confronting him isn't realistic. But according to our undercover agent in the Blood Origin Sect, Shao An of the Blood Origin Sect did return seriously injured a few days ago. When he reported to the sect leader, he mentioned 'Qingming Valley.'"

"Judging from the above, Jiang Rao's previous confessions, aside from a few details that require further confirmation, are generally consistent with the existing intelligence. If there's any discrepancy, it's only one person..."

——The Blood Kite Demon Lord!

"?"

Meng Yueshan frowned, first looking at Yan Shu, then at Baili Qingfeng: "Why is there still the matter of Blood Kite here?"

Baili Qingfeng didn't want to talk.

After all, his two encounters with Bai Yuan hadn't been particularly glorious, and he'd essentially been led around by the other party the entire time. If it weren't for the small gains he'd made in his battle with Bai Hu, which had restored some of his spirit, he'd probably still be haunted by the demons Bai Yuan had left behind. Therefore, he didn't want to hear the name at all.

As for Yan Shu...

"…Indeed."

Yan Shu hesitated for a moment, then took out a photo stone from her sleeve and injected spiritual energy into it. The stone showed the scorched earth and ruins of Qixia Town.

"In this place called Qixia Town, I encountered the Blood Origin Sect cultivators who came to capture Jiang Rao. Their leader was Shao An, an eighth-grade Nascent Soul cultivator. Due to my limited strength, I was severely injured shortly after the exchange. However, I did hear Shao An call out the names 'Yu Qiuming' and 'Xue Yuan' while I was half-conscious.

"'Blood Kite' is cunning and treacherous, and full of schemes. Yu Qiuming is violent and erratic. These two may have been colluding for a long time, and that's why they are joining forces to deal with the Blood Origin Sect."

"Humph, maybe it's just a dog-eat-dog drama!"
