Training the Villain to Become a Big Sister Obsessed - Chapter 131

“Wu Luo?”

Nine-Tails called out to awaken Wu Luo’s consciousness. She quickly released her paw. Seeing the several fresh scratch marks on Nine-Tails’ hand, she guiltily put her paw on it, wanting to gently stroke the injury. When her eyes saw the furry paw, she realized she didn’t have hands right now.

“It’s nothing, it doesn’t hurt,” Nine-Tails focused on Wu Luo’s emotional state. “What was wrong with you just now?”

“Who is lying on the bed?” Wu Luo asked softly.

Nine-Tails replied: “Bai Li, Bai Chuan’s younger sister; they are not related by blood.”

“Bai Li…”

Wu Luo looked at the painful, tightly-knitted brows of the frail youth and, in a trance, saw the shadow of another person.

That time the Land of the Ruins opened, under the cold night where all vegetation withered and mythical beasts became weak—

“Wang Zhao ! You kill people and demons and consume their spiritual essence. Today is your day to die!”

The giant mythical beast with red fur and white whiskers glared at her with blood-red eyes, growling: “You’re asking for death!”

She had just escaped the pursuit of the Four Palaces Lord, intending to find a place to hide until the cold night passed before exacting revenge. Who knew this person would be so relentlessly persistent.

The ferocious and bloodthirsty Golden Ferocious Beast (Jinni Shou), having just consumed the spiritual essence of several powerful demons, was somewhat weak under the cold night, but against one cultivator, she didn’t spend much effort to pin the person under her claw.

“I love consuming the spiritual essence of people and demons, and I hate the smell of blood. But you repeatedly ruin my plans. Today, I will tear you to shreds and devour you raw!”

The mythical beasts of the Land of the Ruins did not like to take human form; they preferred to maintain their true appearance. But on the brink of death, a human face flashed before Wu Luo’s eyes, ruthless, dark, and filled with cold disdain.

“Wang Zhao…” Wu Luo murmured, looking at Bai Li’s face.

It was similar, yet different.

Bai Li’s aura was pure, whereas Wang Zhao was covered in filth and bloody Qi.

“Who?” Nine-Tails didn’t catch the name.

Wu Luo asked her: “Do you know what happened to the Golden Ferocious Beast in the end?”

Nine-Tails was a little displeased to hear that, but since Wu Luo asked, she replied: “The Four Palaces Lords jointly sealed her and took her away from the Land of the Ruins. When the Land of the Ruins reopened this time, I didn’t hear any Four Seas cultivators mention the Golden Ferocious Beast.”

“However, there are a few Young Lords of the Four Palaces here. You can ask them if you want to know.”

Wu Luo felt an unexpected sense of fate: “Good.”

“How is A-Li doing?” On the other side, Bai Chuan anxiously asked Zhao Chen (照塵).

Zhao Chen’s spiritual power was gentle, currently stabilizing Bai Li’s condition, but she frowned and shook her head: “Her meridians and bones seem to be growing, and the speed is too fast. That’s why she is bleeding from her orifices and suffering painful convulsions.”

“Is it because of the Marrow-Cleansing Pill? Bai Li’s body has always been like this. Logically, she should have grown a little by now,” Bai Chuan speculated about the cause.

This was the best reason she could think of—the best reason for Bai Li.

“Possibly.” Zhao Chen was unsure. She only understood some basic medical principles, and Bai Li’s symptoms were truly strange, unheard of.

“I can refine some pills to nourish the meridians. Although I don’t know if the ailment lies there, it should alleviate her pain for a while.”

Bai Chuan nodded repeatedly, bowing deeply: “Good, good! Thank you so much!”

The people gathered around the bed gradually dispersed. Nine-Tails led Lanyan Jun and the others aside.

“I know you all have the Four Palaces bloodline. There is something Wu Luo wants to ask you.”

Nine-Tails had already informed them that everyone from the Four Palaces was present in the cave, except for the White Tiger lineage.

Wu Luo crouched on Nine-Tails’ lap, slightly tilting her head to look at the people before her.

“The last time the Land of the Ruins opened, the ferocious beast, the Golden Ferocious Beast, caused chaos here. I died by her hand. Little Nine said the Golden Ferocious Beast was eventually sealed by the Four Palaces Lords. Do any of you know the specifics?”

Lingguang (陵光): “Ah? This happened? I… I don’t know.”

Zhao Chen: “I haven’t heard of it.”

Wu Luo directed her last hope toward Cang Wu, and the others looked over too.

“Why are you looking at me?” Cang Wu raised an eyebrow. “I am from Yangu (旸谷). What does the Azure Dragon Palace have to do with me?”

Wu Luo was surprised that encountering three Young Lords of the Four Palaces yielded no information. She fell silent immediately.

She even began to doubt whether the Golden Ferocious Beast was truly sealed in the end.

If they could take the sealed Golden Ferocious Beast away from the Land of the Ruins, then it must have been sealed inside something.

Sealed, the ferocious beast Golden Ferocious Beast…

Lanyan Jun’s eyes flashed, and she suddenly looked up.

Hua Yan’s  words echoed in her ears—

“Shen Hui  obtained a strange sword from somewhere. An old monster is sealed inside that sword, and she controlled Shen Hui.”

Cang Wu sensed the emotional fluctuation of the person next to him and asked: “What’s wrong?”

Lanyan Jun pursed her lips, then spoke after a long pause: “Perhaps… I know a little.”

Wu Luo’s gaze instantly fixed on her, carrying a hint of appraisal.

Something that the three Young Lords of the Four Palaces hadn’t heard of, yet she knew?

“If I’m not mistaken, the Golden Ferocious Beast mentioned by the Elder was sealed in the Vermilion Bird Saber (Zhuque Dao).” Lanyan Jun said, looking at Lingguang. “The Vermilion Bird Saber is currently in the Land of the Ruins, in the hands of a person named Shen Hui.”

“The Vermilion Bird Saber!” Lingguang’s eyes immediately widened.

“Mother previously told me and Qing Cheng (清成) to return to Nevernight City as quickly as possible. She already had a clue about the Vermilion Bird Saber. Is it really in the Land of the Ruins?”

Lingguang said confidently: “Then I must bring the Vermilion Bird Saber back!”

“Lingguang, the Vermilion Bird Saber’s seal might not be strong anymore. Shen Hui was once controlled by it,” Lanyan Jun worried. “Don’t act rashly.”

“Is that so?” Wu Luo murmured. “She cannot be allowed to get out. The Golden Ferocious Beast holds grudges fiercely. If she breaks the seal and escapes, the entire Land of the Ruins will probably be annihilated, and the Four Seas will be implicated.”

“Quickly, we must find her as soon as possible!” At this moment, Wu Luo had completely forgotten about Bai Li, only wanting to find the Vermilion Bird Saber quickly to prevent Wang Zhao from breaking the seal.

Everyone understood the seriousness of the matter. Lingguang, concerned about the Vermilion Bird Saber, was especially anxious.

“Shen Hui should still be in Cloud Hidden Mountain,” Lanyan Jun said. “If we split up, it shouldn’t take long to find her.”

“Good!” Lingguang immediately prepared to leave.

“Wait.” Nine-Tails called her back, then raised her hand in the air and sprinkled some glittering dust on her wrist.

“What is this?” Lingguang lowered her head and sniffed curiously.

“Moon Glow Grass (Yueying Cao). It can transmit messages over great distances for a short period. If you find the person, you can contact the others in time.” Nine-Tails sprinkled some on the wrists of the others as well.

“We will search in four directions.”

Lingguang looked at Zhao Chen: “Zhao Chen, just let us go. You stay here and wait for us to return.”

The curve of her lips slowly became calm. Zhao Chen clenched her hand, then smiled faintly and nodded: “Alright. I still need to refine pills for Bai Li.”

Lingguang gave a quick “Mm,” missing the look of loneliness and bitterness that Zhao Chen lowered her head to hide.

Four directions. Wu Luo had just completed her spiritual consciousness, so she would definitely stay with Nine-Tails. That left the remaining three directions…

Cang Wu looked at his Senior Sister and Lingguang.

He would have to separate from Senior Sister.

“I will search this direction,” Lanyan Jun pointed.

Lingguang also raised her hand: “Then I’ll take this direction.”

Only one direction remained, and Cang Wu’s face was taut and displeased.

Lanyan Jun could see everything written on his face.

After Lingguang left, she pulled his hand and coaxed him for a while before he cheered up.

The direction Lanyan Jun chose was not random. She had encountered Ming Yu (明郁) earlier, and this was the last direction Ming Yu was seen heading.

If she could find Ming Yu, there was an eighty percent chance she could find Senior Sister Xie.

Lanyan Jun moved swiftly with the wind. There were still many skirmishes happening in Cloud Hidden Mountain—between people, between demons, and between people and demons.

They were fighting desperately, with no regard for their lives, all for the Seed of Life. For some, the Seed of Life was their only hope for survival.

Looking at the scene of blood flowing and scattered limbs, Lanyan Jun found it hard to watch. She knew some things intellectually, but seeing them firsthand still felt cruel and heartless.

Her gaze swept through the crowd, but she didn’t see any familiar faces.

Lanyan Jun was about to move forward when a sword Qi suddenly sliced toward her.

She quickly dodged to the side, hearing a voice shout with a laugh: “Fellow Immortals! She has a Seed of Life on her. She is alone. We rely on our own abilities!”

The next moment, countless sword Qi and saber lights pursued her. Lanyan Jun focused her mind. The Bujin chain-blade was violently pulled out, and countless wind blades collided with the sword Qi and saber lights mid-air, spiritual power scattering in waves to the surroundings.

In the stirred-up dust, white flashes of light darted—the reflections from saber and sword blades. These flashes aimed precisely at Lanyan Jun’s eyes, seizing the opportunity.

Lanyan Jun scoffed inwardly. These people were truly ruthless. Knowing that the Three Days Above the Sky must not be looked at, they intended to use this method to injure her eyes first.

She flashed past the rain of sabers and swords with extreme speed. Many broken tips of sabers and swords immediately scattered on the ground.

“So… so fast,” someone muttered softly.

Another person replied: “She has the Wind Spiritual Root, so her movements are indeed faster, but she hasn’t broken through yet. We have a chance.”

Lanyan Jun did not want to be entangled with them. She found an opening, sent a few people flying, and rushed out.

The people behind her pursued for a while, but she managed to lose them by circling around.

Although Cloud Hidden Mountain was vast, searching in one direction would quickly reach its end.

Lanyan Jun did not see Shen Hui or Ming Yu along the way.

She frowned. Just as she was preparing to turn back, the wind around her suddenly stirred.

“Who? Come out!”

“You are much more perceptive than before.”

Lanyan Jun’s eyes flashed with surprise when she heard the voice: “Ming Yu!”

Ming Yu looked at her, confused by her excitement, but that didn’t stop him from drawing his saber.

Lanyan Jun: “?”

Why is everyone drawing sabers and swords against me? Can’t we just talk things out?

“We were fellow students at the academy. I didn’t want to do this, but you have a Seed of Life on you.” Ming Yu held the saber in one hand while extending the other. “Give me the Seed of Life, and I can let you go.”

Lanyan Jun looked at the slightly trembling saber tip, following the blade to Ming Yu’s shaking hand.

Ming Yu couldn’t possibly be shaking because he couldn’t bring himself to strike her.

“Are you injured?”

Ming Yu sneered: “You don’t think you can defeat me just because I’m injured, do you?”

“You took a Seed of Life from Hua Yan before, and now you want mine too?” Lanyan Jun asked tentatively.

Ming Yu was clearly not at the point of breaking through, so why would he need the Seed of Life…

“I know Xie Qingshuang has been expelled from Yangu, but she was once your Senior Sister. You wouldn’t just leave her to die, would you?” Ming Yu finished speaking in one breath, and a little fresh blood spilled from his lips.

“Senior Sister Xie,” Lanyan Jun looked up. “Where is she?”

“I won’t believe you until I see her. If Senior Sister Xie truly needs it, then I can give this Seed of Life to you.”

Ming Yu’s pupils trembled. He was surprised: “You would really give it to her?”

In his memory, the relationship between Xie Qingshuang and Lanyan Jun didn’t seem that good. The Seed of Life was so precious and rare; she was willing to just give it away?

“Naturally,” Lanyan Jun nodded.

Ming Yu held onto a thread of hope: “Follow me.”

Ming Yu had hidden Xie Qingshuang at the border of Cloud Hidden Mountain, using a magical artifact to isolate a small space devoid of spiritual energy.

The moment Lanyan Jun saw Xie Qingshuang, she was shocked. The woman’s cheeks, neck, and hands were swollen and purplish-red. All her meridians had been pushed to their absolute limit. Even the slightest hint of spiritual energy would cause her body to explode.

“You… save her.”

As soon as Ming Yu finished speaking, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
