Villain Master, my disciples all want to backstab me

Shao An glanced at the demon cultivator.

"in addition……"

The demon cultivator noted Shao An's expression and continued, "I once saw a sword intent on Hidden Moon Mountain. It was so powerful that it not only cut the martial arts training ground in two, but also flattened a large mountaintop... Although some details are different, judging by its sword power, it is very similar to the sword intent in Qixia Town!"

Similarity is normal.

After all, these two swords were wielded by the same person, but at different times.

"I'm afraid this sword, like the one in Qixia Town that day, is the work of Yu Qiuming!"

The demon cultivator gave a conclusion.

"what?!"

Shao An suddenly turned around with a look of surprise on his face.

The meeting between Bai Yuan and Yu Qiuming was essentially just a coincidence.

After all, aside from the psychopath Yu Qiuming, other masters of this caliber would essentially not linger near Yinyue Mountain. At most, they would stay for a while, and if they couldn't find anyone, they would leave and do their own thing. That way, they wouldn't happen to run into Bai Yuan and his group, who had just emerged from seclusion, and thus provoke a so-called "one-move pact."

Can……

When this matter falls into the ears of outsiders, the nature of it becomes different.

No one would think that the meeting between the two demons was a coincidence, they would only think that there must be a hidden conspiracy.

especially……

Shao An, who witnessed the two men's collusion with each other:

"Alright, alright! I knew it! There's a thousand connections between these two demons! They appeared together in Qixia Town a few months ago, disappeared together in Luoxing Valley, and now they've reappeared together in Yinyue Mountain... Humph, they're so blatant that they don't even avoid people?"

"That Yu Qiuming, always skilled in the use of poison, unexpectedly cultivated such astonishing swordsmanship without anyone noticing. Even I was nearly injured by him... He's truly a thief with great ambitions, and his plans are truly formidable!"

"In my opinion, Yu Qiuming was probably also involved in the incident in Cangwu County twenty years ago! Jiang Rao of the Tianyuan Sword Sect was the very person he and Xue Yuan trained to use as a pawn to shake up the cultivation world!"

"Qingming Valley, Yinyue Sect... I'm afraid there's a huge conspiracy hidden inside!"

"And that Qing Lingzi is also a useless piece of shit with a false reputation. He's called the head of the Qingxuan Sect, a giant of the righteous path... a powerful figure in the Spiritual Transformation Realm, but he couldn't even kill a wounded Blood Kite and the eighth-grade Nascent Soul Yu Qiuming. And he still has the nerve to claim that he wiped out the demon and take credit for it? Pah!"

"Shameful and shameless!"

Shao An became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and he couldn't help but puff out his beard and glare in a rage.

Under normal circumstances, he might not be so excited.

But the problem is...

A few months ago, he was ambushed by Xue Yuan and Yu Qiu Ming in Qixia Town and was seriously injured. After returning, he had to go into seclusion to recuperate. He only came out not long ago, but he had missed several major operations in the sect, resulting in his limelight being overshadowed by his rivals.

In addition, the failure of the "capture Jiang Rao" operation led to the obstruction of the sect's major plans. Shao An's voice in the Xueyuan Sect dropped a lot at once, and he even felt a little unconfident when speaking in front of the sect master.

What’s even more abominable is…

The enemy even wanted to reach into his Blood Refining Hall and seize his resources and territory!

Cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents. Especially since it's a monk's financial resources!

This is what they want: Shao An is dead!

Therefore, Shao An was extremely angry at the source of all these changes, that is, Xue Yuan and Yu Qiu Ming. He wished he could immediately capture them here, skin them alive, and torture them with the Blood Source Sect's soul refining technique to slightly ease the hatred in his heart!

Think so.

Shao An raised his head, looked at his men in front of him, and raised his chin: "You, go get rid of Xue Yuan and Yu Qiuming!"

"Ah I?"

The demon cultivator looked up in surprise, and was completely dumbfounded when he realized who Shao An was referring to.

No, you fucking...

Don't you know what kind of people those two demons are?

You yourself are an eighth-grade Nascent Soul cultivator, and you led a group of Blood Source disciples, including a fifth-grade Nascent Soul cultivator, to capture Jiang Rao. However, you met them in Qixia Town and were beaten like a dog. After you came back, you rested for two full months before coming out of seclusion... How dare you ask me, a fourth-grade Nascent Soul cultivator, to get rid of them?

I think you fucking don't like me, your subordinate, and want to get rid of me, right?

Although I was very angry.

But the higher the rank, the more powerful one is.

Therefore, the demon cultivator could only suppress his curses in his heart, still smiling, and humbly explained to Shao An in front of him: "The order of the hall master is of course absolute. I also want to kill those two demons to enhance the reputation of our Blood Source Sect and relieve you of your worries. But...

"Even if the Qingxuan Sect is just a name, it is still one of the four righteous sects. Even they were unable to do anything to Xue Yuan and Yu Qiuming. I'm afraid that my subordinates... are..."

"..."

After venting his anger, Shao An came to his senses and realized that he was forcing others to do things against their will.

But if you take back what you have said, it would be like slapping yourself in the face, which is even more impossible.

Therefore, he could only say in a cold and hard tone: "Fool, do you only think about confronting them head-on? Can't you use your brain at all? Assassination, poisoning, sowing discord... these most basic magic methods, do you still need me to teach you step by step?

"You've been by my side for so many years, and yet you haven't made any progress at all. No wonder you can only do these errands and odd jobs!"

(…Isn’t it because you, the hall master, are a loser, occupying the toilet without doing anything? If you can become the deputy master of the Blood Source Sect, wouldn’t this Blood Refining Hall be mine?)

(If you have the guts, go fight Xue Yuan and Yu Qiu Ming. You're just this incompetent, and you're taking it out on us...)

The demon cultivator cursed inwardly, but a smile remained on his face. "The Hall Master is teaching me that I'm not thoughtful enough and am not as foresighted as you are. However, my abilities are limited. If I accidentally let the Blood Kite go, it would be a very troublesome matter..."

"So, if I find any trace of her, should I inform you immediately?"

"If you, Hall Master, were to take action, you would surely be victorious and capture those two demons!"

When he said the last few words, a flattering expression appeared on the demon cultivator's face, and his tone became extremely respectful.

"……Can."

Shao An nodded, but his heart was in turmoil.

He still has a clear understanding of his own strength.

Although he is at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul Realm, he is considered a master in the world of cultivation. As long as he doesn't meet the leaders of the major sects, he can basically beat anyone he meets... But Yu Qiuming and the white tiger beast are not weaker than him.

Add to that the Blood Kite Demon Lord whose strength is unknown...

Even if the two sides opened up their positions and engaged in another clash, he would inevitably be beaten and forced to flee. A one-for-one exchange was considered exceptional performance. If he wanted revenge on Xue Yuan and Yu Qiuming... relying solely on his own strength would not be enough.

"If the Sect Master could take action personally..."

"Forget it. The mission the Sect Master originally assigned to me was to 'capture Jiang Rao', and Jiang Rao is now in Tianyuan Mountain. Revenge on Xue Yuan and Yu Qiuming is a personal matter. If I go to the Sect Master like this, it will only make me look incompetent."

"Let's think of other ways first."

Shao An turned around again and looked up at the distant sky. "Xue Yuan and Yu Qiuming have acted arrogantly over the years and have made countless enemies in the cultivation world. Besides me, there are many people who really want to see them die. Perhaps... we can start from this aspect."

After a while.

Shao An and Mo Xiu left the attic one after another.

And as they left.

A new undercurrent began to slowly flow within the Blood Refining Hall, waiting to devour its prey...

……

……

It was around this time period.

Eastern Wilderness Demon Territory, Divine Phoenix Valley.

This place is the easternmost of the entire world of "Asking the Immortal." It's also the closest to where the sun rises, and it's a thousand miles away from Zhongzhou, where Hidden Moon Mountain is located. In between, there's a dark and bitter sea, making it difficult to cross easily.

Therefore, even if a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Realm wants to come here from Zhongzhou, it will take a lot of time to go back and forth.

now.

In the huge valley.

Crimson lava surged like blood through the ravines. Nine ancient bronze tripods, hundreds of feet tall, hovered in mid-air, their bodies engraved with phoenix totems, reborn from the ashes. Forty-nine pillars scattered throughout the valley, some broken and damaged, yet their splendor, dating back millions of years, was still evident.

A golden figure was sitting in the void, in the middle of the nine ancient bronze tripods.

On the outskirts of the valley, thousands of meters away from her.

There was also a second black figure, kneeling on one knee and muttering something.

Wait for him to finish.

The air was quiet for a moment.

Then, the golden figure slowly opened his eyes.

Just a casual look up.

A powerful pressure from the Divine Transformation Realm transformed into a boundless heat wave, sweeping outward. The temperature in the entire valley seemed to rise several degrees in that instant. The lava flowed even more turbulently and fiercely, illuminating her gilded feathered robe as if it were about to burst into flames.

In a pair of molten golden pupils, there seemed to be two sparks of nirvana burning, making the Phoenix pattern on the forehead look like a living thing.

She spoke slowly, her low and oppressive voice echoing throughout the valley like a morning bell:

"Is this news... true?"

--------

ps: Chapter 113 is released. It has been slightly modified based on the original version. You can go and read it.

Chapter 116 What to do? Only kill! (Reward for additional chapters 9-10)

"..."

now.

The Black Panther Demon, kneeling at the edge of the valley, had its scales shattered by the pressure from the golden figure, yet it still managed to raise its head. "It's absolutely true! This news was relayed by members of my demon clan, and it's been verified by multiple sources. The Blood Kite was indeed killed by the Qingxuan Sect's sword three months ago, and even his remains have been destroyed..."

"boom!"

The lava pool suddenly stirred up a hundred-foot-high fire wave.

At this moment, the golden-eyed woman's back unfurled flaming wings that obscured the sky and sun, each feather brimming with the ancient Daoist rhyme: "Impossible!"

"How could that bitch die so easily!"

"Back when she gouged out my [Clarifying Heart Sword Bone] and left my body exposed in the wilderness, she said she'd wait for me to crawl out of hell and avenge her... Now, only thirty years have passed. How could she be dead? How dare she die?!"

boom--! !

An even more powerful pressure permeated the Shenhuang Valley. For a moment, the entire valley, along with the surrounding earth veins, were shaking violently!

This wasn't a deliberate display of power from the golden-eyed woman. After all, there was no point in demonstrating against a demonic race far less powerful than herself. It was simply because her strength was so immense, and enhanced by the nine great cauldrons within the Divine Phoenix Valley, that she, in a moment of intense emotion, created such a formidable momentum.

The Black Panther Demon wanted to hold on for a while longer, but due to the difference in strength, he could no longer hold on. He vomited a mouthful of blood on the spot and fell unconscious!

At this time.

Then a feminine male voice was heard coming from the valley entrance.

"...Oh, what's wrong, Sister Qingluo? Who dares to make you so angry?"

The words have not yet fallen.

Then I saw a black wind, wrapped with a tall figure, coming from a hundred miles away and appearing in front of me in an instant.

The person who came also looked like a leopard demon, with dark green scales on his body and a faint light in his vertical pupils. He was the Shadow Leopard Demon King, Mo Zeng, who was in the Spirit Transformation Realm.

now.

He played with the half-human skull on his fingertips, glanced at the Black Panther Demon who was stunned by Qingluo's momentum not far away, and then said with a tone of three parts teasing and two parts unhappy:

"My clansman is only at the Guiyuan realm. How can he withstand the pressure of Sister Qingluo's divine transformation? Besides, he is just a messenger. Even if Sister Qingluo is angry, it would not be appropriate to vent it on him, right?"

"Why not save it and give it to the Blood Kite Demon Lord?"

"Even if she's really dead, as long as there's a little bit of her soul and flesh left, it wouldn't be difficult to create a puppet by putting it into this Nirvana Cauldron..."

"Shut up! It's none of your business!"

Qingluo glanced at him coldly, and with a slight flap of her wings, she swept out a sky full of flames.

The rock layer where Mo Zhe was originally standing vaporized instantly, and his entire body turned directly into a ball of black mist, which reunited and took shape a hundred feet away.

——This is the innate magical power of the Shadow Leopard Clan, the virtualization of shadows.
