Villain Master, my disciples all want to backstab me

Accompanied by spiritual power.

The barrier separating the bedroom from the outside world began to break apart bit by bit, and then—

Wow! !

……

Hidden Moon Mountain.

In the sect master's bedroom.

Several monks in black robes stood there holding swords, and the leader was an old man with white hair and beard.

At this moment, the old man looked at the others with sharp eyes and asked:

"How's it going? Have you found any traces of those remnants of the Hidden Moon?"

"No."

The others glanced at each other and shook their heads. "We've already looked everywhere: in the house, in the square, in the forest outside, in the cave... he's nowhere to be found. I'm afraid those demonic cult members knew they were no match for Master Sun, so they fled early. Even if we try harder, it will be in vain."

"...that's fine."

The white-haired elder known as "Uncle Sun" sighed, "The Blood Kite Demon Lord has always been cunning, and her followers are likely the same. Furthermore, it's been over three months since the battle at Falling Star Valley, so this situation isn't surprising. However, if we return to report like this, I'm afraid we'll have a hard time explaining ourselves."

After hearing this, several Fire Qi Sword Sect disciples looked at each other, and one of them suggested, "Uncle Sun, why don't we start a fire here and burn down that demon's bedroom! Even if we can't kill her ourselves, this will at least enhance the prestige of our Fire Qi Sword Sect and avenge the arrow that struck us in the Yuankong Secret Realm!"

That's right.

These monks in black robes came from the Huoqi Sword Sect, which was the righteous sect that had fought to the death with Ji Tingxue and Ye Shuang'er in the "Yuankong Secret Realm" for the treasures in the Waterfall Cave.

If Ye Shuang'er were here at this moment, she would probably be surprised to find that two of the cultivators were people she had seen before.

As a second-rate sect within the cultivation world, the Fire Qi Sword Sect's strength was only average, and their aura even more so. Therefore, even after suffering such a heavy loss in the secret realm, they dared not seek revenge on the Hidden Moon Sect. At most, they would quietly denounce them behind their backs, not daring to speak out loudly.

And now...

Now that Blood Kite is dead, things are different.

They don't have the courage to challenge the Hidden Moon Sect, which is led by the Blood Kite Demon Lord.

However, in the old place of Yinyue Sect, which had already suffered heavy losses, they not only had the courage to mock and ridicule the "dead people" and to take advantage of them, but they were also very bold.

Especially now, three or four months had passed since the battle at Falling Star Valley. During that time, countless elders, disciples, spies, and even the heads of various sects had entered the Hidden Moon Mountain territory. Aside from some minor skirmishes, Blood Kite and his men hadn't even shown a trace. This had given the Fire Qi Sword Sect even more confidence and courage.

Is it possible...

Could that "Blood Kite" crawl out of the grave, transform into a wronged spirit or evil ghost, and come to settle accounts with them?

"Come here, put all these talismans down!"

now.

Elder Sun commanded his disciples with high spirits and placed fire bell talismans around Bai Yuan's bedroom. When everything was arranged, he began to chant magic spells, preparing to burn down the palace.

Just at this time……

Inside the bedroom, there was a sudden sound of wind, and then...

Crash——!!

It was like an invisible membrane being slowly peeled back, or like a piece of one-way glass being shattered from the inside. The next moment, the Fire Qi Sword Sect entourage, including Elder Sun, saw several figures of varying heights appear before their eyes. Standing in the foreground was a young girl in a red skirt.

——Because of the obstruction of the courtyard wall, they did not see the white tiger standing in front of the cat's nest.

"……who?!"

Elder Sun subconsciously pulled out a soul-catching rope from his waist and asked in a stern voice.

Following his words.

The girl in red raised her head and glanced out indifferently.

Just one look.

But it made Elder Sun's body stiffen, as if he fell into an ice cave!

——In fact, he had never been to the Yuankong Secret Realm and did not know Bai Yuan, but... the look in Bai Yuan's eyes, which was domineering and looking down on all living beings, was something that ordinary people could not produce.

The moment their eyes met, Elder Sun felt a pressure with a bloody smell coming towards him, which made his breathing unconsciously stagnate and cold sweat broke out on his back.

Fortunately, that look only lasted for a moment.

The girl in red quickly looked away, her expression becoming as calm as water.

"Who are you? Why are you in Hidden Moon Mountain? Are you the remnant of the Hidden Moon Sect?!"

Elder Sun forced himself to shout again, but his voice was already a little weak.

the other side.

Several other Fire Qi Sword Sect cultivators also noticed Bai Yuan and her group. They also didn't recognize Bai Yuan in her loli form. Instead, one of them suddenly had his pupils constricted when he saw Ji Tingxue and Ye Shuang'er. "Uncle Sun! Those two women... seem to be with the Blood Kite Demon Lord! The one with white hair is the 'Poisonous Gu Spirit Body' that the Tianyuan Sword Sect talked about!"

"Ok?"

When Elder Sun heard this, he was not surprised but happy.

Last time in the secret realm, Baili Qingfeng revealed the "poisonous body" in front of everyone, which caught the attention of the Fire Qi Sword Sect, who later conducted a thorough research. This physique is said to be extremely powerful, and simply taking a lot of poison can make it stronger, and breaking through to the Spiritual Transformation stage is no problem. If you can obtain...

Then maybe the Huoqi Sword Sect will have a chance to move forward and challenge the title of the fifth sect of the righteous path!

As for the girl in red...

Although the look just now was a bit scary, but upon closer inspection, the aura was only at the Jindan level, what could he do?

Judging from her petite and delicate appearance, she might be the closed disciple of the Blood Kite Demon Lord, or even a posthumous child born from an affair with someone outside. It would be a good opportunity to capture her, package her up and send her to Qingxuan Sect or Tianyuan Mountain as a stepping stone to get close to them!

Bai Yuan smiled slightly and sarcastically said in a childish voice, "So it's the Fire Qi Sword Sect. Is the righteous path completely deserted? Why would they send a bunch of losers like you to die?"

"What did you say?!"

Several disciples of the Fire Sword Sect were furious.

But Bai Yuan had no intention of looking at them any more. He waved his hand casually, "Shuang'er, I leave it to you. Although you are not from the Qingxuan Sect, but... it's time to settle the old account left in the secret realm."

"Yes, Master!"

Ye Shuang'er had been eager to try, and as soon as she heard Bai Yuan's words, she stepped forward quickly.

Seeing her rushing out of the yard, Elder Sun raised his hand and threw out the Soul-Catching Rope. Ye Shuang'er did not dodge or evade until the chain was almost in front of her. Then she quickly reached forward and grabbed the sharp claws in front of her, holding it in her palm.

Seeing this, Elder Sun raised his lip and said, "Humph, my chain is poisoned. You actually dared to grab it with your hands. You really don't know the power of my 'Fire Frost Poison'..."

"poison?"

Ye Shuang'er tilted her head, pretending her hand was burned, and shouted exaggeratedly, "Ah, it really is poisonous. It's so hot that it even burned the hook lock!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw a faint blue-black gas emerging from the palm of the little girl. Wherever the blue-black gas passed, the soul-catching rope made of fine steel melted quickly like ice and snow encountering the sun, turning into molten iron and rolling to the ground with a dripping sound.

The dark blue energy formed a thin thread, which spread along the chain and reached Elder Sun in the blink of an eye.

"This is……"

Elder Sun hurriedly summoned the spiritual power in his body to try to resist, but it was of no use. The not-so-pure spiritual energy was directly corroded by the blue-black energy and then seeped into the body through the skin.

All of a sudden, the arms and even torso of the Fire Qi Sword Sect elder were seen swelling rapidly, as if countless ants were crawling frantically under his skin. After just over ten seconds, there was a "bang", and the entire person melted into a pool of smelly green water while standing.

"?!"

The people from the Huoqi Sword Sect were stunned.

Although Elder Sun wasn't the sect leader, he was still one of the most powerful elders in their sect, a powerful second-grade Nascent Soul cultivator...

Just die? !

What kind of poison is this, so overbearing? !

At this moment, the disciple who had been to the "Yuankong Secret Realm" once again recalled the humiliation and fear he had felt that day, and he had already begun to back down.

However, Ye Shuang'er did not give him this chance. She raised her foot and rushed forward. Black poisonous gas rose around her. In just a cup of tea, she killed all the cultivators whose average Jindan level was fourth or fifth.

after that.

Ye Shuang'er came up to Bai Yuan, with an expression that said "Praise me, praise me!" and asked for a reward, "Master, how is it?"

"generally."

Bai Yuan waved his hand, making a disgusted expression: "The battle ended quite quickly, but the work was done too roughly. It even made my doorway dirty."

"Hmm... Shuang'er will clean it up as soon as possible! Also, Shuang'er will find a way to develop a poison with a lighter smell and stronger corrosive effect, so that they can be evaporated directly."

Ye Shuang'er immediately spoke up to make a promise.

Beside him, Ji Tingxue had a subtle expression.

"Listening to the snow?"

Under Bai Yuan's gaze, Ji Tingxue hesitated for a moment before finally speaking: "...Although these cultivators just now all sought death, I still feel that Shuang'er looks a little strange now. She has changed a lot compared to before."

——The Ye Shuang'er in the past would never have said such vicious words with such a calm expression.

After hearing Ji Tingxue's words, Bai Yuan was silent for a moment, then smiled: "Indeed. But this is how the world works. People always have to move forward and grow. It's difficult for those who are too naive to survive in this world. I, the master, can't protect her forever."

Ye Shuang'er was originally reflecting on Ji Tingxue's words, wondering if she was really too cruel. But now she went straight to Bai Yuan, took her hand, and said firmly, "No, Master, you will definitely live a long life and stay by Shuang'er's side forever!"

"..."

Practitioners...live a long life...

Bai Yuan glanced at Ye Shuang'er with a strange look in his eyes. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether this girl was wishing him a long life or a quick death...

"Let's go and take a look around first. I haven't really taken a good look at Hidden Moon Mountain since leaving Falling Star Valley."

Bai Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the scorching sun high in the sky, and then greeted the two people next to him.

As he turned to walk towards the sect's martial arts training ground, Bai Yuan glanced back seemingly casually, his sight falling on a large tree a few hundred meters away.

Just a quick glance.

However, this made a monk hiding in that direction tremble all over. He almost subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away, but he calmed himself down at the last second and lay there without moving.

After a while.

Only after Bai Yuan and his group had walked away did a subtle aura begin to ripple from one section of the towering ancient tree's trunk. Then, the trunk arched, revealing a humanoid figure. It turned out to be a young man of unremarkable appearance.

"That little girl in red just now, could it be... How is that possible? Isn't she already dead?!"

"And that girl using the Gu, I'm afraid she's the sect leader. And there's also the 'Gu Ling Poison Body' that so many sects are secretly searching for... It's truly unsuccessful. Everyone's been searching near Falling Star Valley, and yet they've quietly hidden here!"

"I'm afraid I'm one of the first people to know this news. I must pass it on to 'Chou Er' as soon as possible!"

As the thought came to his mind, the spy stepped onto the tree and a pair of wings like bat wings grew on his back, carrying his body into the air, and then quickly disappeared into the vast sea of ​​trees.

Chapter 106: How can Qingxuanmen be so evil! (Reward for additional chapters 28-29)

Half an hour later.

Bai Yuan and his group circled around the Yinyue Sect's headquarters, and finally returned to the training ground where they had started.

Nearly four months have passed, and now Yinyue Mountain is deserted.

Most of the disciples' residences, pavilions, and towers that were usually bustling with activity were now in a state of ruin. Anything of some value had been swept away, leaving only some tables, chairs, and stone platforms scattered all over the ground. In some places, traces of fighting and patches of dried blood could still be seen.

Even though Bai Yuan didn't have much affection for the Yinyue Sect, he couldn't help but sigh at this moment.

Ye Shuang'er, having lived here since childhood, had a good relationship with many of the sect's elders and disciples. In theory, her relationship with these Hidden Moon Sect members was even closer than with Blood Kite. Therefore, she seemed particularly downcast at the moment.

Ye Shuang'er was so depressed that she even lost the desire to get close to Bai Yuan. She just walked quietly behind him, wiping away her tears from time to time.

Ji Tingxue was the first to notice Ye Shuang'er's actions and gave Bai Yuan a wink.

Then, Bai Yuan slowed down his pace a little, walked with Ye Shuang'er, raised his little hand, and patted her back... Well, he originally wanted to pat her back, but because he forgot the height difference between them, he accidentally patted her butt.

"If you want to cry, just cry. Don't hold it in."

Ye Shuang'er was trying to endure it, but when she heard Bai Yuan's words, she turned around and hugged her, then burst into tears.

"Wuwuwu, Master, Senior Sister Zhu and Uncle Zhou, they all... The last time we met in the sect, Senior Sister Zhu said she would give me a set of sword techniques as a birthday present in a few months, but in the end..."

"Why are the people from Qingxuan Sect so evil?"

In response to Ye Shuang'er's words, Bai Yuan said nothing, but just patted her shoulder gently, waiting for her to recover from this sudden emotional outburst.

Bai Yuan was quite familiar with the "Senior Sister Zhu" and "Elder Zhou" Ye Shuang'er had mentioned earlier. They were Zhu Liuying, whom she had previously promoted to the position of Law Enforcement Hall Leader, and Zhou Ran, the elder of the Alchemy Workshop. Their whereabouts were indeed unknown, but they weren't necessarily dead. It's possible they escaped the sect's demise and sought refuge elsewhere.

If I have the time and energy later, I can try to find out where they are going and see if I can get Ye Shuang'er to meet them again...
