Villains: Starting with the Landlady

Page 162

Yu'er looked at the large sword in her hand, which was shrouded in black energy, and felt its strange and domineering power. She was very happy.

"This sword is called Tianzha. The Demon Lord's daughter, Yue Rouxia, and Shu Mountain disciple Jiang Qing lived in seclusion behind the Ice and Fire Cave, leaving behind this sword..." Ling Yun recounted the origin of Tianzha.

He originally intended to give it to Xiaohuzi, but then he thought that Xiaohuzi already had the Cold Moon Blade, and he wasn't by his side. Xiaohuzi was still young, and if the demonic blade went out of control and backfired on him in the future, it would be a loss.

"What, is this your compensation to me? Hmph, then I'll accept it without hesitation."

Yu'er had long been enamored with Tianzha and, fearing that Lingyun might change his mind, held the sword close to her chest.

Ling Yun looked at Yu'er with amusement, then winked at Bingbing and Xiaoxue, signaling them to take the girl back to the house while he dealt with Yang Guang's matter.

After the three women left, Lingyun squatted down in front of Yang Guang and slapped him awake.

Now that Yang Guang had woken up, he dared not act rashly. He could see that Ling Yun seemed to have changed a lot, and the murderous intent in his eyes was quite strong.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you right now. Anyway, the Sui Dynasty doesn't have many days left. I'll let you stay on that broken throne and watch the country crumble and all power vanish into nothingness."

"Lingyun, no...you...you'll help me, right? You're just joking with me?"

"I don't have that kind of leisure or refined taste."

Ling Yun struck his pressure points and then pulled out a series of knives.

Yang Guang felt the knife looked familiar no matter how he looked at it, and it was only when Ling Yun used flames to sterilize it that he suddenly realized who it was.

"This...this is an instrument used for castration!"

"You got it right!" Ling Yun smiled kindly. "But there's no prize for getting it right."

Are you having surgery? The kind without anesthesia~

Inside the room, Yu'er wiped the blade of Tianzha's sword, listening to Yang Guang's screams outside, and her little resentment towards Ling Yun gradually dissipated.

She looked up at Gu Bingbing and Yu Xiaoxue, and unable to resist Xiaoxue's gentle smile, a smile slowly appeared on her face as well.

Gu Bingbing propped her head up with her hand. She really wanted to participate in the process of torturing Yang Guang, but Ling Yun wouldn't allow it. She could only yawn and listen to the two women's conversation with boredom.

Although Yu'er acted swiftly and ruthlessly, she was not meticulous enough. After Ling Yun had Yang Guang dismembered, she brainwashed him and made him one of her own.

The elixir's effects continued to work, allowing Yang Guang, who was rolling his eyes and foaming at the mouth, to survive this ordeal. Then, Ling Yun took him away from the Demon Refining Pot space.

Outside, all the officers and soldiers on the dragon boats were going crazy. The emperor's sudden disappearance felt like the sky had fallen on them.

A golden light flashed on the main dragon boat deck, and then Ling Yun and Yang Guang appeared together.

The officers and soldiers immediately knelt down upon seeing the two men.

"It's alright, Grand Tutor has successfully subdued the assassin, let's go back now!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

They all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that it was Ling Yun escorting Yang Guang back, after all, Ling Yun's bravery was etched in their minds.

Yang Guang appeared unchanged from the outside, and no one knew that he had become a eunuch.

Ling Yun ignored these trivial matters and returned to the space.

But as soon as he entered the space, he saw Tuoba Yu'er, who was looking for him.

"what happened?"

Yu'er ran to his side, her expression conflicted, and asked, "I heard from Xiaoxue that the Shennong Cauldron is with you?"

Lingyun looked at Xiaoxue, who lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly. She was kind-hearted and incapable of lying, and inadvertently revealed the news in a few moments.

"It's here with me..."

Ling Yun explained to Yu'er the purpose of collecting the divine artifacts. Yu'er wasn't as excited as he had expected. Instead, she listened calmly before saying, "The Shennong Cauldron is a sacred object of our Tuoba tribe. I didn't feel comfortable leaving it in the hands of a Sui person, so..."

"So, I'll watch over you until you're done using it, and then I'll take it back!"

Chapter 371 Donglai City

Tuoba Yu'er joined Ling Yun's team, making it a group of four.

Although they could stay inside the Demon Refining Pot space without moving around, the three women all expressed a desire to go out and have a look around, and Ling Yun agreed.

The Demon Refining Pot is a self-contained space, and there is no physical object in the outside world. Unless the opponent is powerful enough to tear space apart, once Ling Yun enters, he will not be able to find any trace of him.

However, once Ling Yun himself enters the space, he will be bound to a coordinate in the original outside world. This spatial coordinate will not move. When the dragon boat leaves, it will not take Ling Yun away with it. When he comes out, he will still be on the original water surface.

After returning to the outside world, Ling Yun went to a secluded corner and released the women.

Yu'er took a breath of fresh air, carried the Demon Blade Tianzha on her back, and looked at Ling Yun.

"So, tell me, where are we headed next?"

Ling Yun glanced at a large mountain in the distance and smiled, "Let's go back to the tribe to report first, then we'll head to Donglai to prepare for our voyage."

After returning to the Tuoba tribe, they stayed there for another night, and Lingyun once again enjoyed the moon's charm.

The next day, the four of them chatted and laughed all the way, and arrived at the woods outside Donglai City before sunset.

Xiaoxue heard a man's weak cries. She tugged at Lingyun's sleeve, and the young man nodded, following the sound to find the man lying on the ground groaning.

The man, dressed in simple clothes and carrying a bag, collapsed on the ground, his face pale. If no one had encountered him, he probably would have died overnight.

They walked up to the man, who was delighted to see them, but upon seeing Ling Yun, his expression immediately became extremely respectful, and he dared not utter another cry of pain.

"Xiaoxue, he seems to have caught a fever. Could you treat him?"

"Okay, Brother Ling!"

Xiaoxue stretched out her hands toward the man's head, and a white light gathered in her palms, slowly healing him.

In no time, with Xiaoxue's help, the man recovered completely.

Tuoba Yu'er was amazed by this. She thought that Xiaoxue was so weak that she probably didn't know any martial arts, but she didn't expect that she even knew healing magic.

"Greetings, Grand Tutor!"

After the man recovered, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Ling Yun.

When Yu'er saw this, she pouted. She disliked the Sui people's attitude, which made them seem like they were inferior.

"you know me?"

"My name is Qi Erlang. I am a resident of Donglai City. I once served in the army and went on a distant expedition. I was fortunate enough to meet you, Grand Tutor!"

Ling Yun nodded, gesturing for him to stand up.

Upon hearing that Ling Yun and the others were going to Donglai City, he immediately took the lead and guided them into the city to his home.

Watching the family of three reunited, Yu'er smiled slightly. Although she still had some opinions about the Sui people, she felt a deep connection to such a heartwarming scene.

Lingyun told them to stay where they were, as he was going to Mount Tai nearby.

Although the three women were puzzled, they obediently stayed at Qi Erlang's house, where his wife, Tian, ​​prepared a table of dishes to entertain them.

Ling Yun summoned the Xuanyuan Sword and flew towards the top of Mount Tai, where he met Han Teng and Yang Shuo, who were setting up an array.

Upon hearing the sound of wind in their ears, the two immediately drew their weapons, but upon seeing that it was Ling Yun, they quickly knelt down.

"Grand Tutor, the Myriad Spirits Blood Array has been set up!"

Ling Yun was glad he still remembered this part of the plot; otherwise, if it had been a few days later, the entire population of Donglai City would probably have been sacrificed.

The original "Yuwen Tuo" had four generals: the veteran Han Teng, known as the "Two Tigers of the Grand Tutor's Mansion", the big man Huli'an, the meticulous and loyal Shangguan Zhenyuan, and the handsome Yang family member Yang Shuo in front of him.

In the game, all four were killed one by one by the protagonist group and Princess Dugu Ningke because of their loyalty to Yuwen Tuo, which was extremely tragic.

"Han Teng, Yang Shuo, there's no need to set up the Myriad Spirits Blood Array anymore."

"This……"

A year ago, Yuwen Tuo, through the reincarnation of the Kunlun Mirror, foresaw that the Crimson Comet would now streak across the sky, destroying the barrier between the human world and the Western Demon Realm. After being manipulated by Dugu Ningke, he orchestrated this series of actions, including setting up the Myriad Spirits Blood Array and using tens of thousands of living beings to create Myriad Spirits Blood Pearls.

“You are my loyal subordinates. I can only tell you that the Myriad Spirits Blood Array is a scam. I have been deceived.”

Han Teng and Yang Shuo exchanged a glance, looking surprised, but still chose to believe Ling Yun's words.

"Fortunately, a tragedy was averted. You should go to Dunhuang first and find the Fuxi Qin as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

The two showed no anger, and after dispelling the formation, they immediately headed to Dunhuang.

Ling Yun glanced at Donglai City in the setting sun and sighed inwardly. Although he was a major villain, he still had some principles. Although this world was different from the one he had lived in, they were all Chinese people. He was still reluctant to use countless lives to achieve his own desires.

You can use other countries' products!

There are quite a few people living here...

However, thinking about this, he suddenly realized that Hou Jinfei, the "protagonist" of the rebirth genre in the main world, had told him that in Hou Jinfei's future, before leaving the main world, he also used a similar blood array to sacrifice the lives of people from countries such as Japan and South Korea...

Well, it seems I did a pretty good job playing the villain.

Ling Yun returned to Donglai City on his flying sword. After having dinner at Qi Erlang's house, he found a secluded spot and led the three women into the Demon Refining Pot space.

After a night, the four returned to the outside world and arrived at the dock.

Some large ships were moored here. Since the journey required setting sail, Lingyun bought a relatively sturdy large ship and used his spiritual energy to propel it along the river to the vast sea.

At first, everyone was very happy, since none of them had ever sailed far from home before, but that enthusiasm dissipated after a few days.

Yu'er practiced the Demon Blade technique on the deck. She was indeed very talented. In just a few days, she had completely mastered the first move of the Demon Blade, the "Moon Severing Wave," which could cause a very powerful single-target attack.

The Demon Blade Technique has five moves in total. Once mastered, although she cannot compare to immortals, ordinary demons are no match for her.

Xiaoxue also learned magic from Gu Bingbing, while Lingyun stood with his hands behind his back, looking out at the sea from the deck.

"Lingyun, where are we going?"

Yu'er wiped the sweat from her forehead and came to Ling Yun's side.

The man naturally put his arm around her waist and kissed her. Although he hadn't done anything else these past few days, Yu'er had given him this little treat with a mix of reluctance and acceptance.

"We're going to go inside a big fish."

"what?"

Yu'er tilted her head, thinking that Ling Yun was talking nonsense.

"With my top-tier luck, I shouldn't be waiting so long to meet someone..."

Ling Yun muttered a few words, then suddenly saw a large bulge appear on the sea not far away, and immediately spurred the boat to ram it!

Chapter 372 The Di People

When the giant fish sensed the approaching ship, it opened its mouth wide and swallowed the ship whole, much to the horror of the women.

With Ling Yun and Gu Bingbing's strength, they could have easily taken care of this big fish, but it was a necessary step in order to obtain the divine artifact, the Kongtong Seal.

Gu Bingbing waved to protect the two women, preventing them from losing consciousness from the violent impact.

The ship shattered, and the group found themselves standing on a piece of land inside the belly of a sea creature.

"what is this?"

Tuoba Yu'er looked around curiously. This sea fish was so huge that its belly could form a small world of its own!

"This is where the Di people live."

"The Di people?" Xiaoxue repeated in confusion.

"They are a strange race with human faces and fish bodies." Tuoba Yu'er had seen such creatures in books. "I thought they only existed in picture books. I never thought that such monsters actually existed in reality."

"Let's go."

Ling Yun took the lead and headed towards the palace not far away, and the three of them quickly followed.

Just as the group was about to reach the palace, they were stopped by several dashing women with human upper bodies and fish tails.

"Where did you come from?" Several Di people guards, wielding long-handled weapons, asked. "Could you be spies sent by the Black Dragon King?"

"What Black Dragon King? We were swallowed by a giant monster fish, which also wrecked our ship!"

"Strange fish?" The guard glanced at Yu'er, who had spoken, and winked at those around him. "Hmph, clearly a spy, take them all down!"

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, a cold and aloof woman's voice came over.

"stop!"

Upon hearing the woman speak, the guards immediately stepped aside obediently, bowing their heads.
