Villain Master, my disciples all want to backstab me

"How can a murderous demon king like you, who only knows how to burn pianos and boil cranes, understand such a thing as the mountains and rivers?"

"...6."

Bai Yuan thought to himself, you guys are really good at playing.

That's right.

One of the important reasons why Yu Qiuming is called "moody" is that he is a bootlicker.

But he's not that low-end bootlicker.

Instead, he has a bit of a literary and artistic temperament and likes to pretend to be cultured.

He has a high level of tolerance for those he admires, regardless of gender, age or status. He will even lower himself without any bottom line to satisfy the other party's needs at no cost, which is manifested in "licking".

Of course, appreciation is a subjective matter, and there's no clear-cut standard. It could be appearance, temperament, character, talent, or even a single sentence or a silhouette... In short, there's nothing wrong with a touch of the arts.

In the past, many players of "Asking the Immortal" had taken advantage of this. They would deliberately run to Yu Qiuming and recite a few Tang and Song poems to attract his attention, and then trick Yu Qiuming into doing things for them, so that in the early stage of the game, they could get a thug of the eighth or ninth level of the Nascent Soul for free.

But doing so also has risks:

Because Yu Qiuming is a very sensitive person. Once he finds that the other person has another side that is not as good as he expected, or is using a false disguise to deceive him, he will kill without mercy.

If it only came to this, it would be fine.

But the problem is...

After killing someone, Yu Qiu Ming would often feel regretful, and would try to make amends, such as taking care of the other person's Taoist partner or descendants.

Then, in the process of making amends, they discover some hidden negative information about the other party, or discover that their descendants have not inherited their temperament and character. In a rage, they may dig up the other party's body from the cemetery and grind the bones to scatter the ashes, or in the other party's name, "clean up" the family for him and destroy his entire family...

A complete psychosis.

In fact, the "Miaoyun Fairy" of the Liguang Sword Sect also had a fair share of negative information, being a highly regarded "green tea" character by many players. While appearing to be a fairy, she was actually quite versatile, keeping up with six righteous geniuses and leaders, four demonic masters, and two demon clan masters, all of whom she had complex relationships with. Two of them were even her own disciples.

He can be called the first time management master of "Asking the Immortal".

But I don’t know whether Yu Qiu Ming really didn’t notice these situations, or he noticed them but was deliberately deceiving himself, or he was intimidated by the strength of the “Li Guang Sword Sect” and pretended not to know... In short, he has always maintained a loyal and servile attitude towards the former.

But he was the only one among the fish in the pond raised by Fairy Miaoyun who had never tasted meat, which made him a hot topic on the forum.

therefore.

Bai Yuan didn't want to get involved with this kind of person, so she just kept a cold face and spoke again: "Let's assume that I don't understand your friendship. Then, what are Master Yu's plans?"

"...Since you've used my name, I'll ask for a price. Is that not too much?"

Yu Qiuming stopped talking about himself and Fairy Miaoyun and pointed at Ye Shuang'er: "My requirements are not high, she!"

"Your disciple possesses a 'poisonous Guling body', a condition that only appears once in a century. This physique is practically tailor-made for Qingming Valley. It's especially predestined for me. As long as you're willing to hand her over to me, all that has happened before can be written off."

"Also, even if you continue to use my name to do something, it doesn't matter. I won't pursue the matter."

"Don't worry. Although I don't often accept disciples, I will do my best to teach her when I do. With her physique, I can help her advance to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Stage, or even the Spiritual Transformation Stage, in three years at most!"

"impossible!"

Ye Shuang'er was still struggling to digest the poisonous smoke she had just swallowed. Hearing Yu Qiuming's words in her daze, she immediately sobered up a bit and shouted back, "I'm doing well by Master's side. Why would I go to an ugly freak like you? Besides, Master will never abandon me!"

"Right, Master?"

After saying that, Ye Shuang'er turned her head to look at Bai Yuan, as if she was worried that Bai Yuan would agree to the other party under pressure.

fine……

Bai Yuan smiled at her gently, then said firmly, "Shuang'er is my beloved disciple, as close as a sister. You must... ahem, if you want me to hand her over to you, it's absolutely impossible! If you want to take her away, there is only one possibility, and that is to step over my dead body!"

【Volatility value +800! 】

At this moment, Ye Shuang'er's heart was shocked, and the symbol of love almost appeared in her eyes when she looked at Bai Yuan.

the other side.

Yu Qiuming stood high in the sky, a cold smile on his face: "So, there's nothing to talk about?"

"No need to talk."

"But...there's still room for discussion."

Bai Yuan looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, and at the stars that were unclear due to the daytime, and spoke again: "As I just said, if you can kill me, then you can naturally do whatever you want with my disciples. So... how about we make a bet on this point?"

"Bet?"

Yu Qiuming frowned: "What do you mean?"

Bai Yuan smiled and said, "It's very simple. You and I will each use a move, and the opponent can use any defensive means to resist. If you win, I will die. Shuang'er's fate, and even the survival of the Hidden Moon Sect, will naturally be decided by you. After all, the dead cannot speak."

"But, if I win, then all previous accounts will be written off. In addition, you need to do one thing for me. How about that?"

That is, if you can survive.

——Bai Yuan added this in his heart.

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Yu Qiuming was startled at first, then he carefully looked at Bai Yuan from head to toe and raised his eyebrows: "Really?"

Ye Shuang'er beside him also looked over nervously and opened her mouth: "Master, you..."

From her point of view, she had no doubt that Bai Yuan wanted to find an excuse to send her out. The reason she was in a hurry to come out to explain was because she had absorbed too much poisonous smoke into her body and had not yet digested it, and her mind was a little unclear.

but……

With her master's current strength, although it was stronger than a few months ago when he hadn't retreated, could she really defeat a demonic giant like Yu Qiuming who was in his prime? If she lost, it wouldn't matter to her; at most she would die. But if her master...

Before Ye Shuang'er could finish her worried words, Bai Yuan raised her hand slightly to stop her from speaking. Then she continued to look at Yu Qiuming:

"how?"

"..."

Yu Qiuming did not agree immediately, his mind racing.

He is a little mentally ill, but he is not stupid.

If the "Blood Kite Demon Lord" at this moment was still in the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm, he would definitely not dare to accept this challenge.

After all, there is a huge gap between the Nascent Soul and the God Transformation. Even though he had just gotten an opportunity in a forbidden area not long ago and his cultivation had made a slight breakthrough and had touched the threshold of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul, it was impossible for him to be so arrogant as to think that he could challenge the real God Transformation.

but……

At this moment, Bai Yuan is only at the Jindan stage.

Even if Bai Yuan fell from the Nascent Soul stage and possessed some special magical powers that could block his full-strength attack...it was impossible for him to cross two major realms and more than a dozen minor realms and kill him, a cultivator close to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage, in just one move, right?

One move, if I could really kill him in one move...

Then Yu Qiu Ming smashed the sword at his waist on the spot and ate it!

Out of caution, Yu Qiu Ming carefully observed Bai Yuan for a while, especially paying attention to Ye Shuang'er's worried expression, to confirm that Bai Yuan's cultivation was indeed not fake.

——That's right. Even if Xue Yuan was still in the Spirit Transformation Realm before the battle in Luoxing Valley, it's impossible for him to take a blow from the [Zhenhai Sword] and then recover in just three months, right?

Even if we take a step back and say that she was really playing a cat-and-mouse game and could actually kill me in one move, then if I didn't agree to the bet, could I leave smoothly today?

"Okay! Let's bet!"

Yu Qiuming made up his mind, then looked down and asked, "Do you want to make the first move, or should I?"

"Guests coming from afar are of course given priority."

Bai Yuan still had a calm expression on his face.

As the words fell.

Yu Qiuming immediately felt relieved: It’s settled!

Bai Yuan also raised the corner of his mouth: It's settled!

She made this bet not without reason.

Back when she was inside the barrier, she had made plans to find an open area after she emerged and have White Tiger serve as a sparring partner to help her test the power of [Galaxy Fantasy Veil] and [Clean Wind Dispelling Evil]. However... Yu Qiuming's appearance was an unexpected surprise.

After all, if you use the White Tiger to test your skills, you also have to worry about how to heal it if it gets injured. After the battle in Luoxing Valley, Bai Yuan's bottle of [Nine-Turn Rejuvenating Dew] has been completely used up. The "Life" formula of the [Linglong Dice] can be used to heal injuries, but the uncertainty is relatively large. If you are unlucky, it may take several days to throw it out.

But if the candidate for the trial was Yu Qiuming...

Then it doesn't matter.

First of all, this guy's strength is almost the same as Baihu's. Without using the secret techniques of Wunian Sect, he is even stronger than Baihu, making him very suitable to be the test subject.

Secondly, even if they accidentally fail... neither side will care.

present.

Bai Yuan waved his hand, signaling Ye Shuang'er and the others to disperse around the martial arts field. He stayed alone, standing barefoot on the stone tablet with the words "Blood-stained Blue Sky". He raised his right hand, slightly hooked his white palm, and made an "invitation" gesture.

high in the air.

Yu Qiu Ming dispelled the black fog in the sky, turned over and landed, standing on the other side of the martial arts field.

Because Bai Yuan was standing on the stone tablet, and Yu Qiuming was relatively tall among the cultivators, it looked like the two of them were roughly on the same level. One had a calm gaze, while the other's eyes were gloomy and eager.

"Demon Lord, I'm sorry!"

Along with this sentence.

Yu Qiu Ming spread out his sleeves, and the aura of cultivation in his body began to rise steadily.

This guy's original strength was that of the eighth-grade Nascent Soul, similar to Shao An of the Blood Origin Sect. However, due to a recent opportunity, he made another great leap forward and has now reached the ninth-grade Nascent Soul, surpassing Shao An.

and so.

As his breath rose, he heard a whistling sound on Yinyue Mountain. Visible blue-black poisonous fog was swirling within hundreds of meters around him. The blue brick ground of the martial arts field even exploded with tiny cracks centered on the place where he stepped, and then spread out like a spider web. Even the clouds in the sky darkened.

Even before the action started, the momentum was already quite terrifying.

In Baihu's perception, several spies who had not yet left Yinyue Mountain were now flying away quickly, fearing that they would be caught in the aftermath of the battle between the two demons.

"call--"

Yu Qiuming took a deep breath.

With this movement, his cultivation aura increased again, almost reaching its peak. His entire body was enveloped in a rich green light, his arms a deep black, and his muscles seemed to have swelled considerably, like a miniature Hulk.

Well...I have to say, this color suits him very well.

"Blood Kite!"

Yu Qiuming shouted loudly, his voice rumbling like thunder, echoing slowly among the surrounding mountains for several kilometers. "Since you decided to let me make the first move, then... if you die under this 'Frost and Nether Poison Palm' of mine, don't regret it!"

Bai Yuan snorted coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, come!"

"……snort!"

Yu Qiuming suddenly raised his right hand, and as he exhaled his last breath, he pushed forward with force!

At that moment, a massive amount of dark blue poisonous fog compressed and condensed into a massive palm print, pushing forward from Yu Qiuming's position! The palm print was only a few meters high when it first appeared, but after a moment of forward movement, it expanded to a giant palm dozens of feet tall. The tangled black lines on the palm clearly resembled countless struggling resentful souls, emitting shrill roars!

"Ahhhh-"

The devilish sound pierces my ears!!

From the moment the poison palm was swung out, the sky above Hidden Moon Mountain grew even darker. Wherever the poisonous gas passed, the grass, trees, insects, and birds on the ground withered and died instantly. Even the rocks emitted a sizzling sound, melting and disintegrating at a speed visible to the naked eye under the intense corrosive effect!

then……

boom--! ! !

Amidst the deafening roar, the entire training ground turned into a pale green!

Bai Yuan and the stone tablet with the words "Blood-stained Blue Sky" disappeared as well!

It's too late, but it's soon.

From the emergence of the giant blue-black palm to its crossing of the hundreds-meter-long martial arts field, crushing the world with a devastating force and engulfing Bai Yuan's figure, the entire process took place in just over ten seconds.

Seeing her master disappear in the poisonous smoke and all the buildings within hundreds of meters around being melted into ruins, Ye Shuang'er's face showed strong worry. She even couldn't wait to rush up and eat up the poisonous smoke that covered half of the mountain to help Bai Yuan escape.

Fortunately, Ji Tingxue grabbed her in time and stopped her.

"Don't go. You've already ingested enough poisonous smoke. If you force yourself to swallow more, even with the 'Innate Gu Mark', you'll probably explode and die..."

Ji Tingxue finished this sentence quickly, paused for a moment, and then lowered her voice: "Don't worry, don't you understand your master's style? Since she dared to make this bet with Yu Qiuming, she must have known what was going on.

"If you go over there at this time, it might disrupt her plans and be disadvantageous to her."

"……OK then."
