I am a villain and have been captured. Why are the fairies asking me to come out?

Yan Mobai touched the kitten's ear and said, "Yu Luo, go change your clothes and leave with me later."

"Should I go too?"

This time the girl was truly surprised. After a while, she said hesitantly, "But I don't have any tools to conceal my identity. If others find out that I'm the leader of the Yuheng Rebellion Sect..."

A cold mask was stuffed into her hands. The girl looked down and was immediately met with a playful red and white fox face. The fox's mouth was raised in a high arc, as if smiling at her.

"Sister Yi's fox mask...?"

Li Yuluo stroked the familiar fox mask with her small hands. It felt cool and smooth like ceramic.

After a moment, she looked up at the leader in confusion, "Sister Yi, aren't you going up the mountain with the leader today?"

In her opinion, in order to ensure safety in the Li Clan's Ancestral Mountain, which is full of various unknown dangers, Sister Yi, who is in the Refining Spirit Realm, should accompany the leader. In this way, if the leader encounters any danger on the mountain, Sister Yi can also solve it.

In order not to expose the identity of the leader of Yaoguang Sect, this mask must naturally be worn on Sister Yi's face. How could it be lent to her?

"With the ability of Li's ancestors, if they have hidden some powerful means, with Niao Niao's cultivation strength... well, I'm afraid it will be useless."

Yan Mobai saw the worry in the girl's eyes and explained calmly, "Niao Niao is the head of Yaoguang Sect after all. Instead of going with me, it would be better for her to stay on Yaoguang Mountain. If there are any unexpected changes in the competition, she can come forward to resolve them."

"As for your and my safety in the Li Clan's ancestral mountain..."

He looked at the girl's clear purple eyes filled with worry, reached out and touched her hair, and couldn't help pinching her soft cheeks, causing the girl to whimper in pain, "You don't have to worry about that, I will let someone more powerful than Niao Niao go with us."

"Someone more powerful than Sister Biyi?"

Li Yulo covered her red face in a daze. Sister Xiaoyu had already left. Who could she find a more capable helper than Sister Yi?

Suddenly, her eyes widened, "Could it be..."

"Ah."

Yan Mobai nodded slightly, "Your master will go with us."

Chapter 210: In the Belly of the Ancestral Mountain

“Master… Master is going too…”

The girl had a bitter face, no longer the joy she had just had when she was bullying the kitten.

Growing up, Qian Qiuxue was undoubtedly the person Li Yulo feared the most. Even though she had now left and was no longer bound by the sect's rules, she still felt uncomfortable every time she saw her master, as if she was back to the time when she met her master in the sect master's hall, kneeling dozens of feet away from the futon, quietly looking up at the cold and aloof woman from afar.

No matter how many things happened later, or how much the relationship between her and her master changed, the memories of the past always flashed back before Li Yulo's eyes. Even the name had not changed. The girl was still used to calling the woman who had hurt her Master.

And at this moment, the man who was touching her head was exactly the man that her master liked.

Although she was not very smart, Li Yulo was a girl with a sharp mind. She had more or less realized something from her master's words and deeds along the way, and she also realized why her master had been helping her and the leader all the way. However, she had never spoken of this discovery.

Soon...she will travel together with Qian Qiuxue.

With Master's level of cultivation, there is naturally no need for her to hide anything. Anyone who she does not want to see her face will look different when seeing her.

But that is for others. Facing her and the leader, the master may not change his expression. This also means that the girl has to face that scary woman for the whole day.

If she continued to flirt with the leader on the way to the Li Family's ancestral mountain, would it make the master angry? Would it... make the master full of pain, but he could only stare at her silently, not daring to scold her in front of the leader, and his slender white jade hands clenched so tightly that cracks appeared in the surrounding space...

After this, what means will the master use to retaliate against her? Hmm... the master's face must be terrible.

Perhaps it was her masochistic nature that made the girl feel unexpectedly excited despite being timid and cowering.

The master who used to be so high above her that she dared not look up at him, could only watch her and her lover being so sweet from the side, and she was so angry that she stamped her feet...

Obviously, she was the first to win the heart of the leader, but every time she thought of the huge gap in status between herself and her master, and how the leader was locked up in the mountain gate and toyed with by her master as a prisoner, Li Yuluo had a strange feeling for some reason, as if she was really like what Sister Yi said, a stealthy little vixen, who seduced her master's lover, the leader who should be her father's generation, right under her master's nose, and made her master watch her eat him up, and then happily took him away to live together, leaving her master alone to wipe away her tears and swallow her anger.

Who else in the world could make the leader of Yuheng Sect suffer such a setback? If one were to rank the vixens in Jiuzhou, Li Yuluo would definitely be the undisputed leader!

Thinking of this, the corners of the girl's pink lips curled up into a barely noticeable smile.

"Yes." She hugged the leader's hand, looked up at him weakly with her beautiful light purple eyes, and agreed softly, "No matter what happens... Yu Luo will listen to the leader."

What a seductive little fox... Yan Mobai pinched the girl's face, suppressed his distracting thoughts, and continued to tell the kitten some things, including how Li Qingxian could survive, and how the kitten should persuade her sister. In the past, Li Qingyao would never let her sister suffer such grievances, but now the kitten just nodded like pounding garlic, fearing that the owner would regret what he said and let this hard-earned opportunity be lost again.

Finally, he patted the kitten's ears. As the little princess rubbed her palm with her ear tips, he whispered, "I have placed a sound transmission spell in your body. If you see that person named Yu Qi, tell me as soon as possible."

"The kitten understands... Master, the kitten will be obedient..."

When leaving, the girl took the opportunity to stroke the furry cat ears, but due to the kitten's fierce resistance, she still couldn't touch the fine white fur in the cat's ears.

……

Less than ten miles away, the Li Family’s ancestral mountain stands majestically in the hazy light, resplendent with golden and jade brilliance, and faces the ethereal Yaoguang Fairy Mountain in the distance.

The news of the confrontation between the young clan leader and the clan leader's disciples spread widely in the mountains, and most clan members went to watch the ceremony.

Those who are still staying in the mountain are either devoted to cultivation and are ignorant of external affairs, or they are unable to leave due to their duties. Just like the elders who stayed behind in the core of the mountain protection formation, no matter how loud the commotion outside was, no one was withdrawn.

Every member of the Li family with relatively pure blood knows that this thousand-foot peak is covered with countless tiny caves. The deeper you go into the caves, the more abundant the spiritual energy is. The larger caves can be used as cave dwellings, and the smaller ones can be used to warm objects. If you are luckier, you can even find the insights and magical instruments left by the predecessors deep in the caves, which is a great opportunity.

But few people know that the caves they can see and enter on a daily basis are far from all of the ancestral mountain. Many secret caves leading to deeper places are covered by layers of restrictions. In such a large clan, only a handful of people can go in.

The place where these caves lead to is collectively called the Li family's secret place, which is the mountain world passed down among the core tribesmen.

The core of the mountain protection formation is located in one of the mountain boundaries. Only the elders in charge of guarding the core of the formation can see it. There is a narrow cave hidden in the halfway up the mountain that can only allow two people to pass through side by side. The further you go in, the wider and deeper it becomes. You can faintly hear the sound of a blade tearing through the air.

At the end of the cave, there is a dark and empty cave hall. Stalactites are densely hung from the ceiling, and stone marrow containing spiritual energy is constantly dripping, and dark green fluorescence is revealed as it flows.

Below the stalactites grows a dense forest of stalagmites over ten feet high. Green water rushes between the stalagmites, filling the cave hall into a dark green mountain lake. The water flows fast and is turbid, making it impossible to tell how deep it is below. No one can tell where in the belly of the mountain the spiritual liquid eventually flows to.

The stalagmites stood on the lake like pointed islands. The four largest ones had their tips flattened, and the tops turned into flat ground that could accommodate one person sitting down. The elders in charge of guarding the key points of the formation sat cross-legged on them. They all wore white robes with gold patterns and their eyes were closed, like corpses that had been in meditation for many years.

They were facing the center of the lake in the mountains, which was also the core of the mountain protection formation.

Hua Hua...

The waves washed over the six-foot-wide stone platform, sparking bursts of green flames on the restrictions on the edge of the platform.

From the patterns on the edge of the stone platform, it can be seen that it was originally the largest stalagmite in the cave. However, it was flattened many years ago, leaving only the round base, on which the ancestors of the Li family built the center of the formation. Over the past thousand years, countless runes have been cast on it, flashing with chaotic and complex light layer by layer.

A jade-colored sealing knife exuding a terrifying aura stood upright in the center of the stone platform, acting as a stabilizer to hold down the entire magic circle, allowing the restrictions left by different spiritual ancestors to operate harmoniously together.

The formation absorbed the spiritual energy in the spiritual liquid like a whale swallowing water, making this mountain lake, which should have been extremely rich in spiritual energy, as barren as a desert. Even the elders who were guarding the lake had to rely on the spiritual stones they brought with them to maintain their practice.

Amid the sound of rushing water and the hum of sword energy, the old man sitting on the stalagmite in the east suddenly opened his eyes: "There are thieves in the east who are forbidden to enter the mountain!"

After a moment, a middle-aged man's slightly deep voice came from the west: "The person who came has my Li family's talisman in his hand, Uncle Yunyuan, why bother with it."

"Before the young clan leader left, she issued an order that anyone who enters the mountain before she returns will be killed without mercy, even the clan members will be treated equally!"

The old man snorted coldly, stood up, waved his sleeves, and slapped the stalagmite he was sitting on. Immediately, a dazzling green light was aroused, and the halo spread out in circles in the spirit lake.

"The three of you, quickly join me in forming a killing formation and make sure to kill that villain in the formation!"

Chapter 211: Death List

As the old man pressed his palm on the stalagmite, the majestic true energy belonging to the late Yuantai realm was suddenly released from his body, flowing along the stalagmite into the lake, and in the dark green spiritual liquid it was like a white dragon breaking through the waves, directly hitting the stone platform in the center of the lake.

As the half-brother of the previous leader Li Yanze and the uncle of Li Qingxian and her sister, Li Yunyuan also has the pure royal blood flowing in his body. He can use the key points of the formation, but the power of one person is inevitably weak. In order to activate the killing formation, the joint efforts of three Yuantai monks are needed.

However, the stalagmites in the other three directions did not glow as Li Yunyuan expected, but were dim and unchanged. Seeing that he was about to lose his true energy, veins popped up on the old man's face:

"You three, why don't you follow me and form a battle formation?"

Until his true energy was exhausted, the light of the stalagmite under his feet gradually went out, and the whole dark cave was still silent. The old man listened attentively, only the dark green waves were surging, and the waves were rising and falling. Even the middle-aged elder who had just promised him a word had gone into hiding, and no sound could be heard.

The spiritual thoughts in the cave were in disorder and the spiritual vision could not penetrate the darkness. The old man stood up and looked around, and saw that there was a figure standing quietly on each of the stalagmites where the three elders were sitting cross-legged. Their outlines were blurred, like a ball of mist that would melt into the darkness in the next moment.

"Three Taoist friends, why don't you say anything?"

From the direction they were facing, Li Yunyuan could barely make out that the three people seemed to be looking at him, but no one made any sound.

what happened?

As the clan elder most respected by the previous clan leader, Li Yunyuan immediately noticed that something was wrong with these three people.

Whether she didn't want to listen to his words and start a killing array, or she was worried about being condemned by the clan for killing someone from the main family, if she had any doubts, she could have spoken out to refute him instead of playing tricks like this.

Those who guard the mountain guarding formation are the most loyal elders of the clan. Their cultivation is above the middle level of Yuantai, and each of them has their own secret method.

The person who was able to break into this mountain world and eliminate the three Yuantai elders silently is definitely not someone that he, who is in the late Yuantai realm, can deal with. If he acts rashly, he will soon follow in the footsteps of these three people.

The old man suppressed his panic and pretended to be calm: "Humph! The killing array has not been activated for a long time. I'm afraid the thieves have moved the array pattern under the mountain. I'll go and check it out. The three of you stay here and don't move around casually!"

After saying this, he turned around and was about to transform into a light and escape.

Before he took two steps, the old man heard a light, low whisper coming from behind.

"Thank you, Sect Master Qianqiu."

But it wasn't directed to him, but rather it seemed like he was giving instructions to the person next to him.

The Qianqiu Sect Leader?

After a brief moment of daze, the old man seemed to have discovered some extremely difficult to accept truth. His eyes widened and he suddenly looked back.

There are many people who can be called the sect leader, but there is only one who can be called the Sect Leader of the Century.

Could it be... Could it be that the Yuheng Immortal Sect is also going to take action against Yaoguang?

The last scene Li Yunyuan saw in his life was an arc of light as bright as the white moon, and the mountain world illuminated by the arc of light.

The emerald green spirit lake was surging, and waves were crashing against the dense forest of stalagmites. On the three highest stalagmites, the three elders who had been sitting cross-legged there were kneeling on the ground, and all their cultivation had been suppressed. In their place were a white-haired boy in a fluttering black robe, a silver-haired woman in a fluttering blue skirt, and... a girl in a white skirt who looked a little timid and guilty.

Before the old man in the late Yuantai realm could react, his Taoist robe melted under the sword light, and his whole body turned into floating light and foam, without even ashes left.

Qian Qiuxue retracted her slender hands into her sleeves. She didn't even draw her sword, but simply used her fingertips to point out a ray of sword light, as casually as if she were killing a flying insect.

"I didn't expect him to be so weak. I retained my strength but lost his life..." After saying a lot, she realized that her apologetic tone was indeed a little humble.

Seeing her disciple and the leader being so affectionate all the way, Qian Qiuxue couldn't help but feel that she was a superfluous person in this group, and that she shouldn't be here at all. She became so confused that she even forgot how she usually spoke.

She pursed her red lips, regained her cool voice, and asked, "Is this person on the list?"

"Elder Li Yunyuan has reached the late stage of Yuantai and has practiced Taoism for seventy-four years. He is the son of Li Tingfeng, the ninth generation head of Yaoguang. Due to his limited talent, he has not made any progress in his practice since nineteen years ago. He likes to take advantage of young children, especially boys. The younger generation of the clan often take advantage of his hobbies and kidnap children. Young disciples of the outer sect often disappear. It is suspected that they were harmed by him. He deserves death for his crime."

Yan Mobai glanced at the jade slip and said, "Even if Sect Master Qianqiu is not on it, we can still add a note to it at that time."

During these seven days, Yi Niaoniao prepared a jade slip for him, on which all the members of the Li family were listed. All the life histories that Yi Niaoniao had secretly investigated over the years were listed on it in great detail.

She made a densely packed list of those Li family members who needed to be executed because of their corrupt character and heinous crimes, and Li Yunyuan's name was in the first three rows.

Regarding this person's crimes, Yan Mobai only picked out the most eye-catching part and read out. As for Li Yunyuan, a total of thirty-nine elders were almost all included. Each of them had a large number of crimes to their name, and only two of them had relatively clean records.

Even if the requirements were relaxed, out of so many elders, there would only be seven left to be used by the Yaoguang Sect in the future.

Yan Mobai waved his hand and ignited a beam of spiritual fire, illuminating the face of the man kneeling at his feet, immediately making the middle-aged man break out in a cold sweat.

It was pitch black just now and he couldn't see it, but now how could the middle-aged man not see it? The person standing in front of him was none other than the sect leader's disciple who was supposed to compete with Li Qingxian in the inner sect competition.

Not only did he not go to participate, he also showed up in the Li family's secret place and killed an elder of the Li family who was in the late Yuantai realm. It was obvious that he had no good intentions.

He just couldn't understand why the head sect that had lost its spirit and had few members had the courage to attack the Li family. But when he thought back to Li Yunyuan's death, the sword light that illuminated everything made the middle-aged man vaguely realize some terrible facts.

Are there other gods in the Yaoguang lineage?

Yan Mobai compared the portraits in the jade slips one by one and quickly found the person: "Li Changzai."

“Ah!” The middle-aged man screamed when his real name was called out. His extreme fear of death turned into anger towards the fox-faced young man in front of him. He raised his neck as high as he could and shouted angrily, “You evil thief! You dare not compete with the young patriarch openly, but instead break into my Li family and kill people indiscriminately. You are truly a demonic act, and extremely despicable!”

The fox-faced youth was not angry at all. He just looked at the jade slip in his hand and said softly, "Li Changzai is the grandson of the ninth-generation leader Li Tingfeng. His father Li Yunfeng died at the hands of the Western Region Wu Clan. He has practiced Taoism for forty years and is in the middle stage of Yuantai. He is good at refining spiritual treasures and magic tools. When he was twenty-one, he married Li Linshan, a sister of the branch family. They had a son and a daughter named Li Yangtian and Li Yangping..."

He put away the jade slip and looked at the middle-aged man who suddenly fell silent and looked pale. "Did your wife go to Yaoguang Mountain to watch the ceremony?"

"You...!" the middle-aged man said angrily, "I have lived an upright life and have never done anything as despicable as Uncle Yunyuan. You can kill me if you want, but how can you harm my family!"

The fox-faced boy smiled and said, "Although you don't often use your power for personal gain, you have been taught by your clan's third uncle, Li Yuncong. Over the years, you have catered to his interests and refined a number of ingenious torture instruments for him... Do you know where those instruments ended up?"

The middle-aged man forced himself to remain calm and said, "Master Yun Cong's whereabouts are mysterious. How would I know what he usually does?"

Yan Mobai was too lazy to argue with him, so he took out the jade slips again and found one of them: "Li Yuncong, the son of the ninth-generation leader Li Tingfeng, practiced secret techniques when he was young and became possessed. His yang fire was cut off, and it was difficult for him to combine yin and yang. From then on, he enjoyed torturing beautiful women and listening to their wailing and screaming. Your ingenious instruments just happened to come in handy."

Seeing the middle-aged man's suddenly collapsed expression, he said softly: "With the close relationship between master and disciple, you can't even think of denying your involvement. I didn't kill you today because your wife and daughter have clean conduct, and there are few people in the Li family who can be used, and they will be needed to work for Yaoguang in the future."

"Besides... I'm not familiar with the Li family's ancestral mountain, so I need someone to lead the way." The fox-faced boy's voice was calm, but it frightened the middle-aged man. "I'll give you two choices. One is to have one of your spiritual veins destroyed by me, cutting off your complete spiritual body and future path of cultivation, and I'll spare your life, your wife and children's lives. The other is to go with your wife and children to accompany your uncle Yunyuan. You can choose for yourself."

Unlike aristocratic families and sects, generations of relatives are closely related and their blood ties are crisscrossed.

Even though there are still many people in the Li family who have not yet become corrupt and can be used by the Yaoguang Sect in the future, if their close relatives are eliminated, it is inevitable that there will be a root of trouble due to the deep blood feud.

When weighing the two evils, some people who still have a decent character and can be saved should be given a chance to survive.

The middle-aged man thought for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded.

Seeing this, Yan Mobai turned his gaze to the Li clan elders on Qian Qiuxue and Li Yulo's side.
