Villain Master, my disciples all want to backstab me

"Oh……"

Ye Shuang'er took the book and looked at the name on the title page with curiosity. She seemed to be eager to open it and take a look, but Bai Yuan reminded her without even turning her head: "Don't flip through the books while they are being burned, or you will be punished to copy the "Discipline for Children" a hundred times."

"……Yes."

After returning to the bedroom again.

Bai Yuan began to count the medicinal herbs on hand and make a final comparison with the contents on the [Gu Ling Rong Xue Dan].

Ji Tingxue sat cross-legged beside him, observing the situation in the hall with great interest, with a hint of curiosity on his face.

A big part of the reason why she was able to successfully break through in seclusion this time was because she witnessed Bai Yuan practicing the "Blood Essence Heart Meteorite Art" and reshaping his body; and another small part of the reason was that what she saw and heard from Bai Yuan made her examine and think about the worldview she had constructed before, which enabled her to break through several realms in succession.

So now.

Ji Tingxue chose to stay because she wanted to learn more from Bai Yuan.

To understand a person, one must understand the environment they live in. Perhaps from this bedroom, one can glimpse a few of Bai Yuan's contradictions.

"Sniff, sniff-"

Ji Tingxue's nose suddenly twitched.

What is the taste?

the other side.

Ye Shuang'er lit the stove and tore off the pages of "Story," throwing them one by one into the fire. Taking this opportunity, she secretly glanced at the paper. After reading a few lines, her face suddenly flushed and her breathing quickened. "Oh my, what is this? How could someone write this... It's so..."

Ye Shuang'er thought about it several times, but still couldn't figure out how to evaluate this story.

and……

Another thought also came to her mind -

Why is it about Master and Sister Tingxue? It was obviously she who first accompanied Master to the "Yuankong Secret Realm" and she was also the one who spent the longest time with Master. Logically, shouldn't it be about her and Master?

this moment.

Ye Shuang'er recalled the dream last night that seemed neither real nor real, and that had left her with a cloud of doubts since waking. She bit her lip and couldn't help but begin to think about writing a story about herself and her master...

After a while.

Bai Yuan finally finished counting all the medicinal herbs:

"[Guling Blood Melting Pill] requires a total of forty-four ingredients. With what you brought this time, Tingxue, we have all of them."

"Based on the current amount, I estimate I can refine three to four batches of finished [Blood Melting Pills]. As long as I'm not unlucky enough to have the furnace explode repeatedly, I can at least make two usable pills, and I can keep one as a backup."

As Bai Yuan said this, she looked up and saw that Ji Tingxue had leaned forward slightly towards where she was sitting. The tip of her small nose twitched a few times, revealing a slightly puzzled expression.

"...Tingxue?"

Bai Yuan was startled and asked uncertainly.

Hear her speak.

Ji Tingxue slowly sat back down, tilted her head slightly to think for a moment, and then softly said, "The scent on you has changed a lot since last time, and it smells a bit familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere before..."

"Really... Maybe it's because I've been taking a lot of pills lately, so they've been marinated."

Bai Yuan smiled and explained half-jokingly.

She was really afraid that Ji Tingxue would become like Ye Shuang'er after smelling the peach blossom fragrance on her... But now it seems that the Ji family's saint's favorability towards her is not that high, and her "alcohol tolerance" is not as bad as Ye Shuang'er's, so she was not affected too much.

As for the familiar smell...

[Drunken Immortal Brew] is brewed from thousands of spiritual fruits, and the Ji family's tea garden also grows a large number of spiritual plants and fruits. There should be some overlap between the two.

Therefore, it is possible that Ji Tingxue had smelled a peach blossom fragrance similar to the one she was feeling now in her family's land.

Although the materials for alchemy have been gathered, refining the [Gu Ling Rong Xue Dan] will not be done overnight.

Therefore, Bai Yuan didn't immediately begin refining the elixir. Instead, after completing the preliminary preparations, he collected all the herbs and continued experimenting with the [Exquisite Dice]. He intended to try all six sides of the dice before his encounter with the Qingxuan Sect, mastering the principles and uses of each "power of law."

As for arranging accommodation for Ji Tingxue and taking her sightseeing and chatting, it was handed over to Ye Shuang'er.

Although this little girl is sometimes not very smart, she has lived in Yinyue Mountain for many years after all, and is no stranger to Ji Tingxue. She is more than qualified to be her companion.

Of course……

Bai Yuan did not reveal Ji Tingxue's identity to the outside world, only saying that this was a friend from the neighboring Demon Sect who came to visit.

Anyway, she is the leader of Yinyue Mountain, and her word is final. Even if the elders and disciples are curious, they can only keep their mouths shut under her tyranny and dare not say anything more.

……

In the evening of the next day after Ji Tingxue arrived.

The second letter from Qingxuan Sect sent by flying sword also arrived, clearly stating the time and place for exchanging Elder Kongwen and [Qingfeng Huasha].

"Is the agreed location in Falling Star Valley..."

Bai Yuan put down the jade slip in his hand and closed his eyes to think for a moment.

This Falling Star Valley, located at the eastern foot of Hidden Moon Mountain, was approximately four hundred miles from the peak where she was standing, neither too far nor too close, meeting her earlier requirement of "within a thousand miles." It was also within the Hidden Moon Sect's weak area, and the sect had no relevant strongholds in that area.

It seems that this place was carefully selected by Qingxuanmen.

Ye Shuang'er was a little worried: "Master, the time proposed by the Qingxuan Sect is the afternoon of two days later. Although it is past noon, I am afraid that your [Huangquan Order] still cannot exert its full power... Do we need to send someone to Luoxing Valley in advance to check and make arrangements?

"If they break their promise and do something shameful in Falling Star Valley, we'll be in danger..."

"Well, the time and place were set by the Qingxuan Sect. It's been six or seven days since the last letter was sent. If they wanted to cause trouble, they would have done it long ago. Why would they have to wait until now?"

Bai Yuan responded lightly, then added, "Also, it's not 'we', it's 'I'."

"Dabai and I can go together for this operation. I'll find a safe place for you, Shuang'er, and Tingxue to stay there together. That way, whether the Qingxuan Sect makes arrangements in Luoxing Valley or plays a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain, it won't affect you."

As for what would the others in the sect do if the Qingxuan Sect really lured the tiger away from the mountain and took the opportunity to gather their forces to attack Yinyue Mountain...

That is not a problem that Bai Yuan can consider.

After all, she wasn't the "Demon Lord" of the Divine Transformation Realm, and she didn't have the energy to care for the elders and disciples within the sect. Being able to care for the small group around her was already a great achievement. If the Qingxuan Sect really dared to attack, she would have to wait until she had accumulated enough strength to help these disciples get revenge.

the other side.

Ji Tingxue had already learned the whole story of the feud between Qingxuan Sect and Yinyue Sect over the past two days, so she asked, "Do you need my help? I've been in seclusion with my clan this time, and I've gained some insights. My cultivation has improved a bit, so I think I can be of some help."

"……May I?"

Bai Yuan was a little moved.

She saw Ji Tingxue's improvement in strength, and she felt a little unbalanced.

Since crossing over, she had devoted considerable time and energy to becoming stronger, even practicing the "Blood Essence Heart Meteorite Art," a physical body reshaping technique with a high mortality rate, yet she was still only a half-step Golden Core. However, Ji Tingxue simply returned home, sat in the tea garden for a moment of "enlightenment," and instantly soared six or seven realms, reaching the fourth level of Nascent Soul, similar to Du Sha's original level.

The gap between this "man of destiny" and ordinary people is indeed greater than the gap between humans and dogs.

As far as this is concerned, Ji Tingxue, who has the fourth-grade Nascent Soul cultivation, can indeed serve as a help in the battle against Qingxuan Sect.

If she could shake out the big account of Return to Void Realm during the action, then Bai Yuan would not have to do anything and could just sit back and wait to be taken away by the big boss.

but……

"Are you worried about what Ji Tao said before he left?"

Ji Tingxue seemed to see Bai Yuan's hesitation and spoke again, "I promised my family that I would try my best to act in a personal capacity and not reveal my relationship with the Ji family. But it's just 'try my best'. If the time comes, I will make the decision myself. Besides...

"Don't you have a mask that can perfectly transform into someone else's appearance? If you use that on me, you won't have to worry about the Ji family's problems."

"Eh?"

That's an idea.

Although the Yinyue Sect's overall strength was limited, it still had several members at the Nascent Soul stage. By simply changing Ji Tingxue's appearance and disguising her as a disciple or elder within the sect, the Qingxuan Sect wouldn't be able to detect her involvement in the operation. Even if they did, without proof, they could simply deny it.

Bai Yuan plans to think it over carefully.

the other side.

Ye Shuang'er's expression showed a little reluctance.

But she also knew that with her current strength, she could not help Bai Yuan in any way, and would most likely become a burden. Therefore, she could only reluctantly agree to Bai Yuan's arrangement, and once again made up her mind in her heart to start practicing after the "poisonous body" was resolved.

"Don't worry. Once the Blood Melting Pill is refined, your cultivation will soar like Tingxue's, like a rocket. Then, as your master, I can lean on you and won't have to do everything myself."

Bai Yuan saw Ye Shuang'er's little thoughts and comforted her. The latter nodded and a slightly forced smile appeared on her face again.

……

Two days passed in a blink of an eye.

Early on the third day.

The morning mist over Hidden Moon Mountain hadn't yet dissipated when Bai Yuan awoke from her bed. She dressed in front of the bronze mirror, stretched, and casually picked up the golden dice beside her. The six-sided runes shone brightly at her fingertips, the one representing "life" slightly dimmer than the other five.

Well, that's right.

In the week since she'd drawn the Nine-Turn Exquisite Dice, Bai Yuan would sneak out every day and roll the dice three times. Over the past few days, she'd already triggered all six sides of the law, and yesterday, on her first roll, she'd triggered the word "life."

The effect of "Sheng" was similar to what she had expected, similar to the [Nine-Turn Rejuvenating Dew], except that the healing effect was more thorough. Because it was achieved by directly infusing vitality, it was a temporary solution to the problem.

Except for "life".

No matter which of the remaining five words is rolled out, it can play a significant role in this meeting with Qingxuanmen.

more importantly……

After Bai Yuan triggered all six sides, he got an extra throwing opportunity, which means that he can make one more throw in addition to the limit of three throws per day, and the result of this throw can be directly specified.

This was her greatest reliance on this trip to negotiate with Qingxuan Sect.

Her second biggest reliance was a secret technique from the Wu Nian Sect she had learned from the book "One Hundred Solutions to Taming Beasts." This technique could, at a certain cost, temporarily restore the White Tiger's strength to its previous peak state, close to the level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm.

As for the "28x Scarlet Sky Sword" and the [Yellow Spring Order] that had been stacked for half a month... these conventional means naturally need no further explanation.

If the other party really doesn't know what's good for him, Bai Yuan doesn't mind fighting with him until both sides suffer losses.

"Wow--"

He scooped up a handful of water and patted his face, then wiped off the water stains.

Bai Yuan walked out of the bedroom and whistled. She saw Baihu shake himself and stand up from his cat bed. Ji Tingxue and Ye Shuang'er had woken up before her and came together outside the bedroom. One sat on the floor, the other paced back and forth, patiently waiting for her to leave.

"Master, you're here!"

Ye Shuang'er came forward excitedly and habitually leaned close to Bai Yuan to smell her scent. When she was sure that she didn't smell the familiar peach blossom scent from that day, she pursed her lips and bowed to Bai Yuan to say hello.

Ji Tingxue nodded calmly, even though it was a greeting.

"Let's go."

“I hope everything goes well on this trip.”

As he spoke, Bai Yuan took the lead and stepped onto the tiger's back using its claws, followed by Ye Shuang'er and Ji Tingxue.

The three people and the tiger who had been in the Tianyuan Secret Realm were reunited at this moment. Then, with a deep roar from the white tiger and spreading its white bone wings, they leaped into the air together, flying towards the Falling Star Valley like riding on clouds!

Chapter 93 Ambush in Falling Star Valley!

According to the original plan.

After Bai Yuan flew two hundred miles on the white tiger, he instructed it to deviate from its course and first dropped Ye Shuang'er off in a remote mountain forest.

"Shuang'er, wait here for me. Don't move. Tingxue and I will be back soon."

Hearing Bai Yuan say this, Ye Shuang'er did not refute, but stepped forward and hugged her waist, and whispered in a worried tone: "Master, you must be careful. Shuang'er will wait for your return here."

"Ah."

After waving goodbye, Bai Yuan took off again.

This time, she did not go directly to the Falling Star Valley, but landed again about a hundred miles away from the valley.

Then, Bai Yuan took out the [Flowing Light Mirror] from his arms, injected spiritual power into it, and found the piece belonging to the Falling Star Valley from the picture that emerged in the mirror.

It took another half an hour to quickly review the scenes from last night to the past half day.

"Surprisingly, Qing Lingzi himself is leading the team, and he brought along eleven elders from the sect... What a grand ceremony! The Qingxuan Sect really thinks highly of me."

From the perspective of Qingxuan Sect, Bai Yuan's cultivation status is a complete mystery.

On the one hand, it was a fact that Qingxuan Sect's Kongxu had severely damaged his predecessor at the cost of his entire life's cultivation. To say that the "Blood Kite Demon Lord" was so powerful that he was not afraid of the destruction of a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator was a bit too outrageous.

On the other hand, it's also true that Xiao Qing, Jiang Wanrong, and later Kong Wen and Elder Yue all failed in assassination attempts, even losing the Nine Cauldron Mountain Seal. Furthermore, there's an inexplicable contradiction between these two facts.
