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

From the time he broke into the room until now, Yan Mobai clearly felt that the spiritual energy lingering on the corpses had faded a lot.

He had never heard of Shan Zhenzhen using the methods he was doing, but as the leader of a cult, he knew a lot about similar soul-devouring magic skills, and had also heard of a strange vine called "Soul-stealing Blood Vine".

This vine grows deep in the dense forests of Youquan Island. It feeds on monsters, insects and strange beasts. It usually uses its vines to strangle its prey to death, then uses its tentacles to pierce the prey's body to absorb its spiritual essence. Finally, it stores the absorbed spiritual essence in the sacs at the roots, thus maintaining its own life during the long period of time when it cannot catch prey.

At first, people often went to the forest to pick the capsules at their roots, and used the capsules that stored the spiritual essence of many prey to replace the spiritual stone chalcedony to assist in spiritual practice. Because there were no impurities from the earth's energy, the spiritual capsules stored had a much better effect on cultivation than ordinary spiritual stones.

Later, the Demon Cult discovered the function of the capsule blocks and began to cultivate a large number of these strange vines. Thanks to them, the dying immortal cultivators in the Demon Cult's dungeon finally had a use. The Demon Cult members threw them into the pile of vines, and soon they became capsule blocks that could replace spirit stones. Over the past hundreds of years, this has solved the shortage of many cultivation resources for the Demon Cult.

It was not until Yan Mobai became the leader that the disputes between the immortals and demons gradually decreased. Without so many immortal captives in the dungeon, the number of Soul-Stealing Blood Vine gradually decreased.

Although the giant tree in front of him was nothing like the Soul-Snatching Blood Vine, it was expected to have similar uses.

Yan Mobai's gaze moved from the top of the giant tree to its roots. Shan Zhenzhen planted such a tree in Jiuling Town. Her purpose was definitely not to use casual cultivators to grow a spirit stone. What she fed with the spiritual energy of the casual cultivators on the tree must be something that could bring them trouble.

"Are you three wondering...what exactly is this tree?"

The sound coming from under the tree was like thunder in a clear sky, making the three people in front of the door alert.

They looked around and took in everything in the courtyard, but could not find a single person who could make a sound.

"Hahaha……"

Laughter rang out again in the empty courtyard, and Zi Gu asked out the three people's questions one by one, "What is the purpose of planting this tree? Why does the tree have so many white fruits? Who is talking under the tree?"

At this time, they were finally able to hear the source of the sound. It turned out that it came from inside the giant tree.

The dark red lines on the tree trunk twisted like waves, and a man's face gradually emerged.

He stretched his neck as far as he could, as if he was sinking into a quagmire with only his face above the surface, and something was holding him up.

Strands of blood peeled off and broke off from his cheeks, and soon his entire head stretched out from the tree, with long black hair hanging down. Then two protrusions appeared on the trunk, and his bony palms broke through the bark. He pressed hard on the bark with his backhand, using the force to free himself from the tree.

At the same time, dozens of corpses hanging on the trees suddenly trembled and shook. The numb faces twisted and distorted in pain again, and they groaned hoarsely as if their necks were being strangled.

The white jade-like sealing knife was already in Yi Niaoniao's hand, with a sticky white flame burning on the blade. It could cut down at any time and shatter these strange scenes into ashes.

But her divine sense was constantly warning her that killing the person in the tree would bring her unbearable consequences, just like when she faced the time when the Penglai shopkeeper's destiny was ignited by the Fate Stone, and perhaps even worse than that time.

Yi Niaoniao clenched her teeth unconsciously.

Could it be that this person...has a more powerful luck than Tian Zhong?

After just a few breaths, a tall man in a black robe with a yin-yang fish hanging from his back walked out of the blood-red tree trunk.

As he walked away, the entire giant tree, including the corpse hanging on the tree, was completely drained of its vitality and spirit. It collapsed behind the man and silently shattered into dust.

"Compared to those irrelevant questions, perhaps you are more curious about... this thing?"

The man smiled and pulled out a black jade box from his sleeve. His slender fingers could just hold the jade box in his palm. His eyes, which were filled with yin and yang energy, were slightly narrowed, and his handsome face was bright with sunshine.

But the way he appeared made it difficult for people to associate him with the word sunshine.

"Fate... Yes, I like to talk about fate. No one can take away my things, and I will never force something to stay if it's not mine. I wonder who is the destined one for this jade box, you or me?" The man spoke meaningless words like in a dream.

The Yin-Yang fish that was faintly visible behind him deeply stung the eyes of the three people. Even the inexperienced Li Yulo knew what sect's skills this Yin-Yang Dharma image represented.

The profound skills cultivated by the Tianji Sect are all forbidden methods of the Heavenly Dao. The higher the level of cultivation, the deeper the entanglement with the Heavenly Dao. When one reaches the Yuantai realm, the Yin-Yang Dharma image will naturally condense behind the body.

"With such a strong yin and yang energy, the technique he practices must be very complicated. He must be an inner disciple of Tianji Sect..."

Yi Niaoniao raised her eyes and glanced at the leader, seeming puzzled by what he had said before, that the mastermind behind this was from the Demon Cult.

Yan Mobai said: "This person's aura is chaotic and he cannot control himself. I'm afraid he has been restricted. He is a loyal dog under Shan Zhenzhen's command."

"A loyal dog?" The man was not angry when he heard this. Instead, he laughed out loud. "Everyone says that Jidu Protector Shan Zhenzhen is the most beautiful woman in the Demon Sect. She is mysterious and hard to see. I don't know how many people want to see her. It is a blessing to be a loyal dog under such a beautiful woman!"

Without waiting for the three to answer, he continued to talk to himself: "Everyone has a destiny. Some are destined to be commoners, and some are destined to be kings. If everyone wants to be a king, where would there be so much land to be awarded? And if everyone wants to be a commoner, who would be allowed to rule the land? Since everything is destined, who can say that I am destined to be an immortal and not a dog... Who can say that a loyal dog is not as good as an immortal?"

Having said that, there was no infatuation in his eyes, only a kind of morbid fanaticism, as if he was really just obsessed with being Shan Zhenzhen's loyal dog, rather than having any romantic thoughts about the most beautiful woman in the Demon Sect.

Yi Niaoniao stared blankly at the ground, as if she was deeply touched by those words.

Mo Bai's gaze was always fixed on the man's face, as if he was thinking about something.

Such a handsome appearance, coupled with a peculiar and strange personality, and the purest yin and yang energy, made him think of someone.

Yu Jiejiu is the peerless genius of the Yu family's generation and the son of Yu Changsheng, the leader of the Tianji Sect.

If nothing unexpected happens, Yu Jiejiu will be the Tianji son of this generation of Tianji Sect, and will also become the next generation leader of Tianji Sect.

I never thought that Shan Zhenzhen was so capable. In order to put the blame on Tianji Sect, she actually used means to kidnap Tianji Zi, the designated leader of this generation of Tianji Sect.

If he hadn't been in Jiuling Town, I'm afraid that Tianji Sect would have been in such a mess this time, with no way to explain it.

Chapter 118: Bad Luck

If Shan Zhenzhen wanted to frame Tianji Sect, she only needed to let Yu Jiejiu "accidentally" leave a trace, making it look like there was a loophole, and people would naturally link the incident in Jiuling Town to Tianji Sect.

Although it is difficult to find a motive for the Tianji Sect to invade Yaoguang, in recent years, the Tianji Sect has been involved in many disputes in the continents, fanning the flames everywhere in the four continents of the immortal way, and taking advantage of the chaos to place its own people in other sects. Now it is like a banner that covers the sky and the sun, casting an endless shadow on the nine continents, shrouding the heads of many sects. I don't know how many people want to cut a hole in it so that a few inches of light can leak down from the sky.

For the sake of these lights, who would care how many loopholes Shan Zhenzhen left... They only need one piece of evidence to prove that the Tianji Sect is not in solidarity with the righteous path, so that they have a reason to clear out the Tianji spies in their respective sects.

However, the Tianji Sect has always been good at observing the stars and destiny. Is it really so easy for them to be calculated by the Demon Cult?

Yan Mobai had no idea what specific arrangements Dan Zhenzhen had made, nor did he know how she was sure of winning, but now that there was a future Tianjizi blocking the way, things had become much more difficult.

Although this person's cultivation has not yet reached the level of spirit refining, the luck on his body is immense, a thousand times more than that of an ordinary person.

Wanting to kill him is tantamount to being an enemy of Heaven. When fighting with such a person, before the sword light enters the body, the heavenly calamity has already fallen.

Yan Mobai thought about it and decided to test it a little: "The Demon Cult has many techniques to turn people into corpses, which are much more convenient to use than living people. You fell into Shan Zhenzhen's hands, but she only planted a ban on you and did not destroy your mind. Obviously, she did not dare to kill you. Since your life is not in danger, why do you have to help her to frame Tianji Sect?"

Yu Jiejiu pulled a rattan chair from the side of the yard and sat down with his legs crossed: "Refine it into a corpse puppet? That's a good idea, but if it needs to be put on a cage and reins to be driven, doesn't it mean that the dog is disloyal? How can an unfaithful dog be considered a loyal dog?"

"Besides...if a dog from the North is bought by someone from the South, will it continue to be loyal to the people from the North instead of being loyal to its master from the South?"

He looked at Yan Mobai with a smile, as if to say, as the leader of the Demon Cult, aren't you also working for the people in the Immortal Sect?

Yan Mobai was unable to refute the other party's words for a moment.

He looked at the man strangely.

Could it be that Yu Jiejiu really wants to be Dan Zhenzhen's puppet?

Given the attainments of the Tianji Sect's supreme elders in calculating fate, Yan Mobai would never believe it if someone said that the next sect leader would be so capricious.

Immortal cultivators follow the path of the Great Dao, and their minds and opinions are already very different from those of ordinary people, not to mention a rare genius like Yu Jiejiu. Even if he does not have great talents and strategies, he is definitely not someone who can be controlled by beauty.

But this person was pretending to be stupid and there was no way to force him to open his mouth. Yan Mobai knew that it would be futile for him to continue to delve into this issue.

"Since it is said that the jade box is for those who are destined to receive it... in your opinion, what is considered to be destined and what is not?"

"It's fate... Hehe, it's precisely because I have a connection with the jade box that Shan Zhenzhen entrusted it to me. If you have a connection with it, then you must be able to convince me to give it to you."

"What if I snatch it away?" But the girl's clear voice interrupted their conversation.

Yi Niao Niao's beautiful amber eyes were shining with a faint golden light, and her white and tender fingertips were stroking the blade.

She had met many talkative demon cultivators before, but without exception, it was not their nature. They talked so much nonsense just to delay time and find a chance to survive.

She didn't think the person in front of her was anything special.

Yu Jiejiu tapped the jade box lightly, his voice becoming softer and softer, "If someone can snatch something from me, it means that it and I are destined to be together..."

Before she could finish her words, the figure of the girl in white robe disappeared from the spot, and the next moment, a dazzling white knife light suddenly appeared from the edge of the jade box.

She had no way of killing this man with such great luck, but if she just wanted to snatch the jade box, Yi Niaoniao didn't think she would fail.

There was always a smile on Yu Jiejiu's handsome face, but when the flash of a knife came to his hand, his expression suddenly changed.

The change was extremely fragmented, like a comic strip composed of a series of unrelated portraits. Each expression only lasted for a brief moment before shattering and being replaced by another face without any interruption.

His face sometimes revealed the kindness and gentleness of an old man towards his grandson, sometimes revealed the vulgarity and vulgarity of a street thug seeing a beautiful woman, and sometimes became as shy and charming as a young woman facing her lover.

At the same time, Yi Niaoniao, who was in the void, suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of rejection between heaven and earth.

The malice from heaven and earth made her feel as if she had returned to the time when she had used her life magic three times in a row and had her luck drained away. But the difference was that this time her luck was still intact in her body, and she had not incurred the punishment of thunder from heaven.

The reason why she was rejected by the Heaven was because her fate at this moment was as different as that of a hated concubine in the cold palace and a beloved concubine in front of Yu Jiejiu.

Before the knife light spread to the jade box, there was a muffled groan, and the girl in white robe fell out from the void in a miserable state. She just landed in front of Li Yulo and was subconsciously supported by the girl.

"Sister Yi..."

"I am fine."

Yi Niaoniao didn't want to stay in the little vixen's arms any longer. She struggled to stand up, wiped the blood from the corner of her lips, and stared at the people in the yard with her amber eyes.

Yu Jiejiu was still sitting in the rattan chair, playing with the black jade box in his hand. His face had returned to normal, and he said with a playful smile: "Ah, what did I say? No one can take away what is destined to be with me."

With a fortune a thousand times greater than that of an ordinary person, it is not arrogant for him to say this.

But in Yan Mobai's opinion, it was still a bit absolute.

If he still had the perfect cultivation of the spirit from the past, let alone a thousand times more luck, even if he gave Yu Jie ninety thousand or a hundred thousand times more luck, it would only take a flick of his finger.

The favor of Heaven is not omnipotent. The closer you are to becoming an immortal, the less bound you are by Heaven. Otherwise, the Tianji Sect would have unified the Nine Continents long ago, and no one else would have had a say.

The so-called fate and destiny, when faced with an absolute gap in strength, are like a sand embankment built in front of huge waves. No matter how high it is built, it will eventually collapse.

His eyes were always fixed on Yu Jiejiu's face. Although there was nothing special about this person's expression now, Yan Mobai still remembered the changing expression just now.

If he guessed correctly, behind each of these fleeting expressions was a living person.

Just like the independent cultivators who were devoured by Yu Jiejiu, he seemed to know... where all the disappeared residents of Jiuling Town had gone.

Chapter 119: One Face in All

"It's just relying on some luck..."

Yi Niaoniao smoothed out the waves in the Yuanhai, swallowed her saliva, and clenched the hilt of the knife with her slender fingers again.

After all, it is still about refining the spirit. Even if the fighting power is weak, the cultivation is still half a step beyond the mundane world, and the injuries caused by the backlash of the heavenly way have been healed in an instant.

She glanced at the leader secretly and saw that his eyes were serious, as if he was thinking about something.

It would be too shameful to be defeated by a junior in the Yuantai realm in front of the leader...

The girl's eyelashes slightly closed, hiding the gold in her eyes.

She is now the one with the highest cultivation among the three, and the current predicament can only be overcome by her. Even if she is incompetent, she must stand up.

If the jade box has been in the other party's hands all along, how will they carry out their next plan?

"Have you not given up yet?"

Yu Jiejiu smiled as he looked at the sword in the girl's hand that had rekindled its white flames. He leaned back in his chair and said, "It's a pity that you are not destined to have the box in my hand. Fate is something that will happen if it's meant to happen, but you can't force it if it's not meant to happen."

"You talk too much."

Yi Niaoniao looked at him coldly, "You're talking so much nonsense. I'm afraid you're not as calm as you look... Are you trying to delay time?"

"Why can't it be that I just talk too much?" Yu Jiejiu said, "Everyone who knows me knows that I am a talkative person."

"I don't know you, and besides..."

The white jade-like warm blade cut the girl's delicate palm, and large amounts of blood spilled onto the blade. Regardless of the fact that the wound had not yet healed, she used this hand to hold the handle of the knife again, letting the blood continue to drip from the handle.

"The people I kill the most are those who talk too much."

Yi Niaoniao finally had murderous intentions towards the person in front of her. Although she looked delicate and frail, as if she would fall down if the wind blew, and her strength was limited to the Yaoguang technique, she was one of the weakest among all the soul cultivators. But the killer who once frightened the demon cultivators of Yanyuzhou was still dormant in her heart, and had never been defeated.

She was still the evil wolf that had subdued thousands of demon cultivators, but after years of feeding by the leader, she had gradually become lazy and slack, like a puppy. Now she had found her favorite cake and was drooling over it with joy, but someone stood up and stopped her from taking the cake away...

The puppy scratched the ground, and its soft whimpering gradually turned into the low howl of a wolf.

Anything that comes between her and the cake will be chopped into pieces.

Seeing her sacrifice her heart blood to the sword at all costs, Yu Jiejiu, who was sitting on the rattan chair, finally restrained his smile.

He was not very familiar with the Yaoguang Sect's skills, but judging from the precious blood that was swallowed by the Tianling Yuanyu and contained the immortal essence of the spiritual cultivators, this girl was serious about it.

"Why force it when we clearly have no destiny... What a strange person you are. Is the destiny you force really your destiny?" Yu Jiejiu sighed deeply.

The sealed sword was dyed into blood jade. The originally holy and flawless white blade now turned scarlet like a peerless weapon.

The girl's delicate little hand held the sealing knife and chopped it down slowly. Although her movements were slow, the space was already making sharp hums under the knife.

The blood-red knife light broke away from the blade and slowly pushed towards the man on the rattan chair.

Before Yu Jiejiu could take a breath from his chest, the world in front of him suddenly split into two parts.

All things seemed to be flowers and the moon in the mirror. As the mirror was broken into two halves and separated into left and right sides, they clearly reflected the same picture, but could not be pieced together.
