I imitate others' cultivation, and I will never reason with you.

Chapter 176 She Has Helpers

Ruan Xing smiled slightly and didn't answer him.

Perhaps this posture was in line with his imagination of immortals, and a look of yearning appeared on his face.

After appearing in front of Sun Xian to calm him down, Ruan Xing gave a few warnings and returned to the underground bubble to start the next step of the assembly line operation.

By the time all the puppets were completed, about three hours had passed.

As dusk approached, Ruan Xing looked at the anxious Sun Xian and said, "Let's go back."

Sun Xianru was pardoned and said repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I will do as you say."

They summoned the Black Hawk and the three of them got on it. On the way back, Sun Xian whispered to Ruan Xing.

"Master, what should I say when I get back?"

Ruan Xing said nonchalantly: "Just say whatever you want to say."

Sun Xian felt a little sweat on his forehead. When he was in the Xumi Realm, he always said that serving the emperor was like serving a tiger. Sometimes, if you accidentally guessed the emperor's intentions and made the wrong assumptions, you could easily lose your life. But now, looking at Ruan Xingyun's calm and composed look, he felt that he was walking on thin ice even more than when he was an official.

"Well, I don't quite understand what you mean..." He said with a smile.

Ruan Xing changed the subject, "When you were on duty at the Imperial Master's Palace, didn't you bring a cultivator with you? Why didn't you bring him with you when you returned?"

"You even know this?" Sun Xian was shocked, then he replied carefully, "I was planning to destroy his cultivation so that he would stay, but then he suddenly disappeared, and I was too lazy to look for him."

He answered half-truthfully, but in his heart he began to wonder if this True Lord had already been hiding in the capital during the more than ten years he had been on duty?

Ruan Xing laughed noncommittally, "More than that, you were worried that the master would know that he disturbed the destiny of Xumi Realm, so you concealed it. He is a cultivator after all, how could an ordinary person touch him? He died inexplicably in Xumi Realm, you can't escape the blame, right?"

She suddenly looked at Sun Xian, "If the master knew about this, would he think that there were already traces of demonic cultivators in the Xumi Realm a few years ago, and that you concealed this for your own benefit, and have you colluded with the foreign enemy?"

Sun Xian immediately broke out in a cold sweat and cried, "Master, what exactly do you want me to do? Just tell me. My life is in your hands, I dare not disobey you!"

"I don't need you to do anything, just wish you good luck." Ruan Xing smiled.

Sun Xian still didn't understand what Ruan Xing meant. His heart was beating fast. He thought to himself that he was fine when he came out. In just a few hours, he didn't see this Taoist do anything. It's impossible that the host will know everything immediately after he returns, right?
While they were talking, the Black Hawk had already flown to the mountain gate square of Liuyang Study.

The huge wings brought down the gust of wind. Before the three jumped off the black eagle's back, several people had already surrounded them. One of them shouted, "Traitor Sun Xian, why don't you surrender!"

Sun Xian was stunned and looked at Ruan Xing in disbelief.

But others thought he was threatening Ruan Xing or trying to hold him hostage, so Chen Donghao immediately said, "Jinfu, be careful!"

Several people jumped up, and Ruan Xing kicked Sun Xian off the eagle's back.

Sun Xian struggled to resist, but the other guys treated him like a formidable enemy and attacked him with all kinds of tricks.

He was tied up in no time.

"Unfair! I'm not a traitor! Li Jinfu is! He's not Li Jinfu! He's someone else pretending to be him!"

Sun Xian finally understood why Ruan Xing told him to say whatever he wanted.

It turns out that Ruan Xing had already planned it out!

Sun Xian cried out in pain, but there was no way he could defend himself.

A man on the side sneered, "You are not a traitor, what are you resisting? It has come to this, and you still want to drag others into it, how hateful!"

Ruan Xing said to Chen Donghao with a worried look on his face: "Brother Chen, Sun Xian is desperate and wants to drag me down with him. What should I do?"

Chen Donghao waved his hands, "How can anyone believe such slanderous words? Junior brother, just relax. You made me worried for a while. I was really afraid that you would go out with this traitor and never come back. Originally, the master wanted to send someone to rescue you. I was ready to volunteer, but I didn't expect that the two elders were attacked on the way. Both of them were injured. The master was too busy to take care of you."

When he talked about the second half, he lowered his voice and said, "According to the elders, the people who attacked them were a very strange group of people with runes painted on their bodies. But before they could see clearly, they blew themselves up. Only a kid in the Jindan stage escaped. The elders wanted to chase him, but the kid's body movements were very unusual and slippery, making it difficult to find his trace. So they had to return first. But it is said that the kid was also injured and could not run far. The owner of the temple has sent people to block the area within a hundred miles."

"Don't blame me, I really can't spare any manpower. After all, blocking the news from the outside world is the most important thing. Even if something happens in the Xumi Realm, it will only cost me 30 to 50 years at most. It's natural for me to make such a trade-off."

He patted Ruan Xing's shoulder and whispered some comforting words.

Ruan Xing certainly didn't care. She was not Li Jinfu himself and had no loyalty to the master.

She was actually the one who caused this situation.

She smiled and said, "No way, I am lucky to be back. How can I blame the master? I wonder if this mortal master has any advice on how to deal with it?"

"Is this the husband of the ghost cultivator?" Chen Donghao looked him up and down. "He has a good appearance. The host ordered that he be taken in front of the ghost cultivator and have a look. If the ghost cultivator reacts to him, they will be imprisoned separately and the mortal will be used to hang her. If he does not react, he will be killed and thrown off the mountain. Although he has some luck, it has been interfered with by the cultivators and is no longer pure. He cannot be sent back to the Xumi Realm."

Two monks nearby immediately came up and tied up the mortal.

The male protagonist realized that something was wrong at this time. He frowned when he saw Sun Xian being tied up, and said, "Let me go! Didn't you bring me here to seek immortality? Why are you doing this?"

"Ask the immortal?" Chen Donghao said with a smile: "Go ask the ghost! Take it away!"

The other people quickly escorted Sun Xian and the other man to the dungeon.

Ruan Xing took the initiative to say, "I'll go to the dungeon too, Senior Brother Chen. You just said that you don't have enough manpower. Firstly, I can help in the dungeon. Secondly, if the host really believes the words of the traitor Sun Xian, I won't cause trouble for you, Senior Brother Chen, if I stay in the dungeon by myself."

Chen Donghao was somewhat touched. "I'm sorry for wronging you, Jinfu."

"That's nothing." Ruan Xing said righteously.

Chen Donghao went to report to the abbot himself, and Ruan Xing followed a few others to escort Sun Xian and the other man to the dungeon. After handing over the tasks, they found a cell for Sun Xian and the male protagonist respectively and locked them up. The others had already left.

Cheng Zijue was the only one left in the dungeon.

Ruan Xing approached him with a smile on his face, and before he could find any excuse, he pierced his dantian with a sword.

Then he took off his disguise and turned into his true appearance.

Cui Yurong said excitedly: "Benefactor, I knew it was you!"

Although Ruan Xing has grown a few years older, her appearance is still very similar to before, so Cui Yurong doesn't have to worry about making a mistake.

"Ah Jiao." Ruan Xing shouted.

A white jade-like thin sword flew out of the air, and Ruan Xing held it with his other hand, slashing at the chains on Cui Yurong's body. Snap! The God Binding Rope was chopped into pieces.

Cui Yurong immediately stood up and looked towards the cell where the hero was imprisoned with hatred. "Calm down, there will be plenty of time later." Ruan Xing said, and handed the pennant to Cui Yurong, "Listen to my instructions now. Use your ghost fire to light the evil ghosts in the flag and release them. Let them be infected by the ghost fire when they see people. Just create chaos. If you encounter a cultivator you can't beat, just avoid him for the time being and let me handle it."

After Cui Yurong took the order and left, Ruan Xing also hurried to the back mountain.

Once chaos occurs, the master will gather everyone in the woods behind the main hall because that is where they hold their final trump card.

Ruan Xing's plan was to ambush the more than one hundred puppets in the storage bag there. The puppets had no breathing and no heartbeat. If he did not use Yin Qi, they would be no different from corpses and could not be found without careful observation.

The barrier tree can help her delay the forest for an hour.

She had to take advantage of it.

Soon, chaos began.

When the first disciple who died from the will-o'-the-wisp fell down, the barrier in the sky suddenly rose up, like a layer of burnt yellow syrup flowing in the air.

Some disciples panicked and ran to the main hall, looking for the host.

"Oh no! The ghost cultivator escaped from the dungeon!"

Chen Donghao, who had just come out of the main hall, immediately frowned and grabbed his disciple, "What did you say? Escaped? Where are Cheng Zijue and Li Jinfu?"

"I don't know, brother, I didn't see them!" the disciple said in panic.

"Why are you panicking? Come with me to ask the elder to borrow a God Binding Rope. That ghost cultivator is not very powerful, and we can handle it with a magic weapon that can restrain her."

Chen Donghao turned around and was about to look for the elder who was healing, but the disciple shook his head fiercely, "No, Senior Brother, we originally thought we could deal with her, just three or five people together, but we didn't expect the flag in her hand to be so powerful! With a wave, she released a fierce ghost covered in ghost fire, and she herself didn't even get close to us. Senior Brother Wang and Senior Brother Zhang were both burned to death..."

An expression of fear appeared on the disciple's dry old face.

He watched helplessly as his two fellow disciples were burned to death by the will-o'-the-wisp fire, but neither water magic nor ice magic was able to work against it!
Chen Donghao paused for a moment after hearing this, "I understand. Anyway, I'll go find the elder first, and you go into the main hall to report to the host!"

He left as quickly as the wind. The disciple patted his chest in fear, and when he turned around, he saw a pretty girl standing there holding two swords, one long and one short.

The disciple was surprised and asked: "You..."

Before he could finish his words, Ruan Xing swung his sword.

For a full half hour, the ghost fire began to spread on the bodies of the outer disciples. Anyone who was smart and able to run fast was killed by Ruan Xing's sword.

After guarding the main hall entrance for quite some time, the abbot finally seemed to realize why no one had come to him to report to the master after the barrier had been in place for so long.

Chen Donghao also arrived late with two elders.

Looking at the corpses all over the ground and the bloodstains on the hem of Ruan Xing's long skirt.

Several people were horrified.

It was impossible to imagine that someone would actually start a massacre in Liuyang Study!

The host pointed at Ruan Xing, his voice trembling, "You, who are you..."

"Feng Ling Yue Ying Sect, Ruan Xing." Ruan Xing tilted his head and smiled at the people in front of him, "It is a great honor for you to die in my hands."

As soon as she finished speaking, she rushed forward with a sword and slashed at the master's head!

A golden halo of light came crashing over and instantly knocked the white rapier in Ruan Xing's hand away.

The old man with the golden ring shouted angrily, "Die, you thief!"

He rushed over in an instant, with thousands of silver threads behind him, as if blocking Ruan Xing's retreat.

Ruan Xing bowed slightly, and the moment the old man with the golden ring came over, a whisk appeared in his empty hand.

Thousands of silver threads also fell on the face of the old man with the golden ring.

He screamed, stepped back quickly, and shouted: "Why are you pointing your weapon at your own people!"

The old man holding the whisk had a serious expression on his face. "It's not me. There's something wrong with this female cultivator's technique. I didn't feel any spiritual energy fluctuations acting on me just now, and she snatched my whisk away in an instant!"

However, the whisk has been with the old man for many years and is in tune with his mind, so it is naturally impossible for Ruan Xing to take it away and use it. At this moment, Ruan Xing is holding the whisk and wrestling with the old man. Suddenly, the old man reacts and controls the whisk to extend the silver thread in the opposite direction.

Ruan Xing immediately let go of the whisk and threw it aside, then shouted, "Sword!"

Several people were immediately alert. The old man with the golden ring did not forget that he had knocked the sword of the female cultivator away.

How could a Nascent Soul cultivator let go of his sword so easily?
Now it seems that she let go of the whisk on purpose, just to use that strange magic to steal the whisk away.

Now that the magic has no effect, it is natural to recall the sword.

What was unexpected was that a pure white boy suddenly appeared from behind the host.

Heart-ripping claws!
The nails carrying corpse poison sank deeply into the back of the master. The master was shocked and ripples appeared on his body. He withdrew his sword and flew out.

In fact, after Jian Lai led the other puppets to attack the two elders, he hid in the passage and sneaked into Liuyang Study.

However, the two elders thought that he had escaped, so they went outward to look for him, but they didn't know that Jian Lai had already entered their base camp.

The old man with the golden ring was still fighting with Ruan Xing, and the old man with the whisk was helping him from time to time. Ruan Xing was struggling to cope with it alone, and suddenly he shouted, "Ah Jiao!"

The old man with the whisk looked stern, "She has helpers!"

However, the next second, a jade-white sword light flashed through the air, leaving a sharp sound, and pierced into the master's shoulder.

The old man with the golden ring said angrily, "What on earth are you? Your name is Jianlai, and your sword's name is your name?"

The host also said angrily, "You yell at the two of them, why do you always hit me?"

The master of the temple was not good at fighting, and since two elders seemed to have the upper hand against one, there was naturally no need for him to take action.

But I didn't expect that Ruan Xing was making a feint to the east and attacking in the west both times!

unacceptable!

Ruan Xing rolled his eyes and said, “Nonsense, who else should I hit if not you? If I don’t force you into the woods, would all my puppet setup be in vain?”
