Surprise! The popular villain is actually Long Aotian's wife

"Shan Niang loves me, and she is willing to help me at all costs."

"I told her that as long as I become stronger, we will be together forever. We will have countless lifespans, and no one can separate us."

"So you killed her?" Qi Wu Yue said coldly.

The blue-clothed disciple confessed, "Yes."

"I killed Shanniang, cut off a piece of her finger bone, and gave it to the old ghost cultivator. He refined it into a magical instrument that can absorb the thoughts of the people, and then buried the finger bone under the lotus pedestal of Niangniang Temple."

At that time, the blue-robed disciple came to Niangniang Temple with the finger bone in his hand, crying and complaining heartbreakingly, saying that he and Shanniang were in love, but he was not capable enough and was not recognized by Shanniang's family, so Shanniang was forced to marry by her father.

Shanniang refused and ended her life with a white silk scarf.

The blue-clothed disciple spoke with such sincerity that Mu Ling was also very moved. Not only did he tacitly allow him to bury his finger bones under the lotus platform, he also took the initiative to divide his own spiritual power to nourish Shan Niang's remaining soul.

"And the rest of Shanniang's body was given to the old fellow Gui Xiu as a reward for refining. He probably refined it into corpse puppets later."

"I begged him for this Corpse Skin Soul Banner after much effort. I promised him that if he could capture people from your two academies, I would give him half of the treasures on you."

"I even managed to send several children to him to refine corpse puppets, and only then did he give me the Soul Banner, which he had not used for a long time."

Qi Wu Yue suddenly raised his head, his silver eyes were cold.

It turned out that those children were sent abroad by the blue-clothed disciples and handed over to ghost cultivators, who refined them into corpse puppets.

Xiao Lin thought of another point. Their other mission was to investigate whether the rebellion of Huo Fengzong was true.

Part of the clues on the jade token is that there seem to be ghost cultivators haunting the Huo Feng Sect.

Is the ghost cultivator mentioned by the blue-clothed disciple related to the ghost cultivator of Huo Feng Sect?

Or rather, it's the same person.

The blue-clothed disciple was still expressing his feelings, "It is really enviable that Red Evil Eye has such a strong power of faith. The finger bone that was refined was buried under the base of the plain platform. From now on, Shanniang can also take a bit of faith power from it."

Qi Wu Yue took out a small bottle containing the female ghost in a green dress. The green gas inside was enough to condense into a smaller version of her.

She huddled at the bottom of the bottle, her knees hugged, her black hair flowing like water, only her eyes were surprisingly large.

"Really? Is she so willing to selflessly give you the little spiritual power she has cultivated?" Qi Wu Yue curled the corner of his mouth.

"Shanniang loves me, so she is naturally willing to let me use the spiritual power she has obtained." The blue-clothed disciple said with confidence.

Qi Wu Yue said nonchalantly: "When we met you, you were only at the second level of cultivation. It seems that the method you have painstakingly thought of is not very useful. Or is it that your aptitude is hopeless and the crooked ways are useless?"

The blue-clothed disciple heard the sarcasm in his words, but he was not annoyed. He snorted coldly and said gloomily: "It is precisely because of my poor aptitude that I need geniuses like you who are arrogant and proud of their talents to be my stepping stones."

"To tell you the truth, I was the one who spread the evil news."

"But the first one they told was not the First Academy, but some unknown ordinary academies."

"Those academies have also sent disciples to the Mortal Realm to exorcise evil spirits. Their cultivation is not as good as yours, but their arrogance is extremely arrogant. They command the disciples of Piyang Prefecture at will, yelling at us and treating us like ants, pigs and dogs."

"I easily led them to the place where the ghost cultivators were, and the old guy took them into his soul flag and refined them into walking corpses."

"So this isn't the first time that outsiders have entered the Mortal Realm. There were other academies before you, but I've discovered that each of you has skills but no brains."

Success comes too easily, greed is endless, and the appetite is getting bigger and bigger.

"Later, I set my sights on you talented people. I believe that the First Academy's disciples must be even more powerful."

"As I expected, there is actually an alchemist among you. This is really a pleasant surprise."

"I was still worried at the time. Since I can use Shanniang's power at will, why can't I use the power of this wood demon? As long as she has a weakness, she can be firmly clamped."

"But she and Piyang Prefecture were in a stalemate for a long time, and your arrival successfully broke the stalemate, allowing me to devour two cultivators in the Condensation Vein Stage at once, and my strength increased greatly."

Qi Wu Yue finally understood that this was a beast who would do anything to advance in his cultivation. However, there were so many blue-clothed disciples like him in the world of immortal cultivation that they were no strangers to them.

He shook the green-skirted female ghost in the bottle and asked curiously, "Do you regret it?"

The female ghost in the green skirt nodded. She was transformed from a normal person into a half-human, half-ghost appearance. Perhaps she still had delusions from the beginning, thinking that even if she was a soul, she would be satisfied as long as she could be with the one she loved.

She endured having her spiritual power extracted at will, and even the heart-wrenching pain of being refined.

But when he found out that he was just a stepping stone, a stepping stone to help him practice, he admitted with his own mouth that he didn't care about his own life or death at all.

She really regretted it.

What did she get after abandoning her loving family and even her life?

Got used by that man from beginning to end.

"Did he regret it after he killed you, or just now when he confessed everything?" Qi Wu Yue continued to ask.

The blue-clothed disciple suddenly said in a somewhat exasperated voice, "What nonsense are you talking about? Stop trying to sow discord! Shanniang loves me so much, and she has done everything for me without any regrets!"

The girl in the green dress said slowly but firmly: "Neither."

"When my father was sick, I asked him to bring medicine to him, but he refused."

"I regret."

"Nonsense! It was clearly that old stubborn man who didn't allow us to be together, yet you still wanted me to deliver medicine to him. For your sake, I have done my best by not killing him!" The blue-clothed disciple said gritting his teeth.

Then he angrily said to Qi Wu Yue: "What do you know! Shan Niang likes me, she did all this willingly! How could she regret it!"

Qi Wu Yue scratched his ears and said impatiently, "What the hell is love? Love is like a ghost. What the hell is love."

Glancing at the green-skirted ghost girl, he said, "You really are blinded by your love."

Green skirt girl: "..."

The woman in the green skirt hugged her knees and huddled into a ball silently, unable to refute a single word because of the connotation she was given.
