Villain Master, my disciples all want to backstab me

While the situation was dire, as long as they sealed off Falling Star Valley and secretly contacted the other major sects, especially the Tianyuan Sword Sect, to prepare in advance, even if the Demonic Sect learned of the Qingxuan Sect's heavy losses, they wouldn't dare launch a large-scale attack. If handled properly, they might be able to divide up the Hidden Moon Sect's legacy before the Demonic Sect did.

"By this time, Kong Xuan should have succeeded, right?" Qing Lingzi glanced at the wind direction of Yinyue Mountain.

"Although I failed to subdue the ferocious white tiger, it wouldn't be such a loss if I could obtain the 'Poisonous Spirit Body' from the Hidden Moon Sect..."

"And that Return to Void Realm magic weapon? It shouldn't have been destroyed by my sword. Perhaps it's still somewhere in this valley. If I can find it, refine it, and glimpse the 'power of law' within it..."

Then Qing Lingzi might have a chance to further advance his cultivation which has been stagnant for many years, and try to touch the threshold of the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm or even the Return to Void Realm.

By then, perhaps a way could be found to make up for the decades of life lost because of that magic weapon.

Thinking about it this way...

It’s not a huge loss.

"Anyway, let's first carefully inspect this Falling Star Valley."

Thinking of this, Qing Lingzi slowly put the [Zhenhai Sword] into the scabbard. He was about to carefully check the situation in the mountain, but suddenly his heart skipped a beat. He raised his head as if he sensed something, but before he could even see what was in front of him, he was hit in the face by a huge force. The whole person flew backwards like a cannonball, raising a cloud of dust!

"!?"

"Master!!"

In the valley, several surviving Qingxuan elders exclaimed in surprise.

When the smoke clears.

Qing Lingzi, looking a bit embarrassed, crawled out of a broken cave. Then, along with several other Qingxuan elders, they saw a Broken Dragon Stone Tablet that appeared out of thin air in the Falling Star Valley. On it was a line of bright red blood-written words:

"In today's game, Qingxuan Sect lost three things: the formation was broken, the disciple was killed, and the sword was broken."

"There's a long way to go, so stay tuned for good news!"

……

This is an unnamed mountain forest thousands of kilometers away from Luoxing Valley.

Accompanied by the opening of an invisible "door" in the void.

Three bloody figures appeared here without any warning. When they landed on the ground with a thud, they brought with them an astonishing bloody aura that spread around, scaring away the birds and beasts within a radius of several miles.

It was Bai Yuan, Bai Hu, and Ji Tingxue.

At this moment, the conditions of the two men and the tiger had become extremely bad, especially Bai Yuan and Bai Hu. It was as if they had been thrown into a meat grinder and just spit out. Their entire bodies had turned into a blurry mass of minced meat, with bright red flesh and blood mixed with jagged bones, which was a shocking sight.

Ji Tingxue, on the other hand, had suffered the least injuries, having been blocked by Bai Yuan and Bai Hu in succession. However, this lightness was only relative. She, too, lay with the other two, her eyes tightly closed. The blood of the two and the tiger flowed like a small river on the ground.

A dead silence.

for a long time.

for a long time.

Ji Tingxue's eyelashes moved, and she was the first to wake up from her deep sleep, her eyelids slowly opening a crack.

The first thing she saw was a dappled beam of sunlight filtering through the shadows of the forest. The rotting leaves in the forest, soaked in blood, emitted a strong, fishy odor, attracting a few snakes, insects, rats, and ants to peer cautiously around. But as she awoke, those creatures fled in panic, and all was quiet again.

"here it is……"

where?

Ji Tingxue lay there for a while, then tried to stand up, and her elbow crushed half of the white bones.

It was the White Tiger's broken rib, now lodged between her waist and abdomen. The amber animal blood mingled with the vermilion human blood, forming a strange pattern like a pair of Udumbara flowers. Ji Tingxue flicked the flowers apart with her fingers, revealing a wound so deep it was visible to the bone. However, as the spiritual energy flowed through it, it healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Ka--"

Ji Tingxue finally stood up and looked down at the three-inch blood puddle under his feet. The face in the reflection looked a little unfamiliar.

Too...young.

Not only the appearance, but even the heart beating in the chest is too light, so light that it doesn't seem like it has endured a hundred years of wind and rain.

Ji Tingxue closed her eyes slightly, and when she opened them again after a few breaths, a hint of understanding appeared in her calm eyes: "The Ancient Tea Tree of Enlightenment, the Millennium Ancient Clan, Ji Tingxue... It seems that I slept a little too long."

"But fortunately, the appearance of this 'younger generation' proves that my plan has succeeded. This child is indeed my reincarnation."

"Although it's a rebuilt body, but... it's really embarrassing that I could be injured like this by a mere Spiritual Transformation Realm cultivator."

"Ji Tingxue"'s nose twitched, as if she was a little displeased with the strong smell of blood around her.

With a flick of her fingertips, the scattered flesh and blood suddenly glowed green, as if drawn by invisible threads, returning to her body. During this process, all dust and impurities were removed, leaving only clean flesh and blood. Once all of this flesh and blood had returned to her body, the wounds all over Ji Tingxue's body healed automatically, until not a single scar remained.

"Roar……"

A faint whimper came from beside me.

The severely injured white tiger had also been healed by Ji Tingxue's actions. Blood and tiger bones returned to its body, and its vitality gradually recovered. However, due to excessive spiritual energy consumption, it was still a little weak at this moment, and it was wagging its tail to beg for mercy from Ji Tingxue.

"Descendants of the White Tiger Clan? They're rare."

"Ji Tingxue" glanced at it casually and then looked away.

Then, she sniffed again and faintly smelled the scent of peach blossoms.

Turning around, he saw a young woman in red lying quietly in a pool of blood. Her clothes had been shredded to dust, revealing her naked, bloodstained body. A small fragment of a jade sword tip was stuck in her heart—a fragment of the blade formed by the condensed sword intent of the Zhenhai Sword.

"Is this the 'Blood Kite Demon Lord' she remembers..."

"The dignified Saintess of the Ji family actually mingled with a notorious Demon Sect leader, and even fought alongside him against the leader of the Righteous Sect, nearly killing both of them... Haha, that's quite interesting."

"Since you didn't completely use me and even helped me block a sword in the end, I will take care of your funeral and take a little care of the child named Shuang'er. This is my return gift."

Ji Tingxue said.

Yes, "aftermath".

When she woke up just now, she had already sensed that there was only one living being around her: the massive white tiger. The girl in red had no breath from the beginning to the end, clearly dead.

From Ji Tingxue's perspective, helping the other party to be buried safely, refining the [Gu Ling Rong Xue Dan], and giving some advice to the little girl named Shuang'er can be considered as repaying this favor.

Thinking of this, Ji Tingxue raised his hand and wiped the blood off the red-dressed girl's body. Just as he was about to restore her "corpse", his eyes suddenly moved -

As the blood stains dissipated.

The red-clad girl clutched a pale golden dice in her right hand, revealing it. The upward-facing side clearly bore the character "Dun." This dice, along with the Scarlet Sky Sword beside it, were the only items the girl had left that hadn't been shattered by the previous battle.

"This is……"

"Ji Tingxue" opened her eyes slightly, her gaze fixed on the dice, as if she had thought of something, with an expression of surprise on her face.

"Impossible... How could this thing be in her hands!?"

"And I didn't notice this aura just now... Could it be her?!"

In surprise, "Ji Tingxue" made divination with the fingers of his hand. Just when he had calculated halfway, there began to be a violent storm around the forest. A dull thunder rumbled from the sky above, making Ji Tingxue's face pale. He could hardly suppress the backlash in his body. He quickly withdrew the fingers of his hand, and the situation calmed down.

Then, "Ji Tingxue" squatted down again and pressed a finger between Bai Yuan's eyebrows. The pale golden soul fire traveled along the meridians throughout the latter's body. He probed the dantian area for a moment, and only withdrew his finger when he found a clue.

"The Way of Time, the Fate-Defying Gu, and this deep within the soul..."

"I see."

"No wonder I, in this life, ignored my family's warnings and became entangled with a demon like you... Since I don't have to help you with your funeral, I will repay your favor in another way."

"Ji Tingxue" said as she cut her wrist with her fingertips and then hung the wound above Bai Yuan's lips. A light golden sticky liquid slowly flowed out of the blood vessels, soaking Bai Yuan's cherry lips bit by bit, then flowed into her mouth along the seam between her lips and into her limbs and bones.

After a while.

"Ji Tingxue" stopped injecting blood, and the wound between his wrists healed automatically without even any process.

Then, "Ji Tingxue" seemed to think for a moment, then raised her hand and the mountain wall a hundred meters away automatically peeled off, forming a huge stone tablet that looked like a broken dragon. She drew blood from the ground through the air and wrote a line of large characters on it. Then she waved her hand and the broken dragon tablet suddenly disappeared from this world.

——It was the blood-lettered stone tablet that appeared in the Falling Star Valley thousands of kilometers away and directly knocked Qing Lingzi away!

Do it all.

She looked up at the dark clouds gathering in the sky and said, "It's going to rain."

"Stupid cat, bring your master and follow me. The 'Three Corpses Reversing Fate Gu' will take some time to take effect. This is not a place to stay for long. Let's find a safe place first."

"Meow-"

In front of Ji Tingxue at this moment, the white tiger did not dare to reveal the aura of the ancient ferocious beast at all. It even obediently imitated the meow of a cat, then bent down, picked up Bai Yuan, and held her in its mouth.

Then, Ji Tingxue took a step forward, and with her movement, a "door" appeared in the void, revealing a world thousands of miles away. She stepped out first, followed by the white tiger. After both left the area, the "door" vanished.

After counting the interest.

The torrential rain arrived as expected, washing away the thick blood-red color in the mountains and forests!

Chapter 97: The Road of Time, the Wheel of Life and Death! (Two in One)

“Urgent, urgent, urgent…”

Ye Shuang'er was extremely anxious.

It was completely dark.

Ever since Bai Yuan and Ji Tingxue left, she has been in a state of anxiety, with a worry lingering in her heart that cannot be shaken off.

Especially when it got dark and Bai Yuan and the other person still didn't show up in the forest as agreed, Ye Shuang'er's uneasiness became more and more uncontrollable, and she even had the idea of ​​going to Luoxing Valley to look for her master.

——Even if a fight broke out, after such a long time, there should be a result, right?

but……

Master’s words of advice are still fresh in my mind.

If something unexpected really happened and even Master and White Tiger couldn't handle it, then a mere Jindan realm cultivator like me would certainly be of no help. The only thing I could do was to pray for Master and the others.

Once again, Ye Shuang'er began to hate her own weakness.

If she had the same level of cultivation as Sister Tingxue...

suddenly.

There was a crisp sound of branches breaking from the woods not far away.

Ye Shuang'er woke up from her messy thoughts and immediately pressed the hilt of the sword at her waist. Through the cover of the vine curtain, she looked vigilantly at the old locust tree a hundred meters away, which was the direction from which the sound came. However, she froze in place when she saw who was coming.

In sight.

A white tiger, soaked all over, appeared out of nowhere, holding a bloody figure in its mouth. The crisscrossing wounds on its fur were dripping with golden and red blood.

When seeing this scene, Ye Shuang'er's mind went blank for a moment.

Not long ago, after that night in Qixia Town, she had witnessed such a scene, but at this moment, she almost instinctively felt that there was a fundamental difference between the two, and this time she was afraid that she would not be able to get through it safely like before.

"Master!!"

Ye Shuang'er stumbled out of the cave, but was blocked by an invisible wall of air just as she was about to touch the white tiger. She looked up in astonishment, only to find a familiar yet unfamiliar woman sitting on the tiger's back.

Familiar, because that person still looked like Ji Tingxue, and was still wearing the plain white dress she had worn when she left;

She felt strange, but it was because Ji Tingxue in front of her had a demeanor like a thousand years of frost and snow between her brows, like a god descending to earth, which made Ye Shuang'er feel ashamed of herself.

"Sister Tingxue, this is..."

"Come up."

Ji Tingxue's voice was filled with unquestionable majesty.

Ye Shuang'er was a little confused, but still responded, then hugged the white tiger's front paws as she was told and climbed up.

Before she could climb onto the tiger's back, Ji Tingxue touched the air, and the next second, the three people and the tiger disappeared from the spot. When they reappeared, they had arrived at Yinyue Mountain hundreds of miles away.

Once here.

Ye Shuang'er immediately smelled a strong scent of blood. In the bright moonlight, she could see corpses scattered all around them. The boundary marker with the words "Hidden Moon Sect" inscribed on it had been chopped into pieces by a fierce sword. It seemed as if something major had happened to the sect during the time the three of them had been away.

In the distance, there was a faint glow of fire.

But it was too far away, and it was night, so the forest was pitch black and the shadows were unclear.

"Uncle Li, Brother Zhao...how could this be?"

Ye Shuang'er was completely confused this time.

She had never imagined that after only being away for a day or two, she would come back to see such a scene inside her own sect. Although there weren't too many corpses on the ground, and it wasn't to the point of a river of blood, it was still horrifying!

However, Ji Tingxue didn't seem surprised by what she saw. She just sighed softly, "It seems I'm still a step too late... But it doesn't matter. After all, she doesn't have deep feelings for these sect disciples. Besides, they weren't completely wiped out. Some of them still managed to survive."

"Ok?"

Ye Shuang'er looked up blankly: "Sister Tingxue, do you know what's going on?"
