That's What Villains Are Like

"Who is plotting against me?"

Ye Ming clenched his fists, his face full of anger and hatred.

The old ghost searched his body, frowning tightly, and then guessed, "Maybe it's because of the jade pendant..."

"Jiang Lan?"

Ye Ming was startled, and his expression turned ugly.

"Do you still remember the Blood Infant Technique performed by Taoist Zixia?" the old ghost asked.

When Ye Ming heard this, his face suddenly became uncertain. When he was in Zhenjun Zixia's secret realm, Taoist Zixia relied on the Blood Infant Technique to track him for a long time, and finally he finally got rid of him with great difficulty.

According to what the old ghost said, it seems that the blood shadow just now is probably similar to the blood baby technique.

Could it be that Jiang Lan planned to use this to find him?

Then, Ye Ming took out the jade pendant that he had sealed in the Sumeru Ring with a secret method, gritted his teeth, no longer hesitated, and crushed it into pieces.

"I shouldn't believe you. That day in Anqiu City, my hunch told me that Jiang Lan must have noticed my identity. You made me believe in the Transformation Fruit, saying that only saints can see my true identity. body……"

Ye Ming regrets it very much now. If he had known that Jiang Lan had noticed his identity, he should not have kept the jade pendant on his body.

When the old ghost heard his complaint, he couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, "I have now determined that Jiang Lan should have magical powers or means of cause and effect. Even saints may not be able to understand cause and effect. There are such means. , Jiang Lan can confirm your identity every time."

Ye Ming gritted his teeth and said, "He is so deceptive. What do you think of me? If he wants to kill me, he will just do it. He always thinks he is superior and plays the so-called cat and mouse game?"

The old ghost was silent.

After tonight's incident, Ye Ming's Taoist heart, which he finally recovered, was destroyed again.

Even he didn't actually understand what Jiang Lan wanted to do? Playing with Ye Ming? Or do you want to use him as bait?

Jiang Lan had many opportunities to kill Ye Ming directly, but he did not do so.

Instead, it makes Ye Ming live in panic and fear, and eliminates his ambition and Taoism.

If things go on like this, no matter how persevering the genius is, they will be tortured and go crazy.

"What did Ye Ming do to offend Jiang Lan?"

"The time when the hero saved the beauty in Anyang City?"

The old ghost shook his head and sighed, even he couldn't explain clearly.

"In any case, it is impossible for Jiang Lan to attack you for no reason. You have been thinking about whether to find Ge Qixing and cooperate with him these days. Now you have no other choice." The old ghost said.

Ye Ming took a deep breath and finally calmed down. Perhaps what happened tonight had a great impact on his mood.

At this moment, he had a broken look on his face and said in a hateful voice, "I swear, I will make Jiang Lan pay the price and make him regret everything he has done."

The old ghost looked at Ye Ming like this, his eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't say much.

Soon, Ye Ming began to pack his bags and planned to leave. Ge Qixing's whereabouts were uncertain and he was not in the Daxia Imperial Prefect's Mansion. It was not easy to find what he was doing.

However, he also has his own way. Ge Qixing definitely wants to avenge his son Xiao Teng.

Ge Qixing has been running the Imperial Master's Office for so many years, so it is impossible to say that he does not have his subordinates and spies.

"Ye Yun, do you want to leave?"

At this time, a suspicious voice sounded outside the wing.

Xia Jin, who fled with Ye Ming and others, stood there and looked a little confused.

Ye Ming actually didn't have much favorable impression of this elder. He didn't know why, but Elder Xia Jin paid special attention to him.

Now he was even noticing when he was packing his things.

"Back to the elder, this disciple feels that it is not an option to stay here all the time. There are not many people searching for the whereabouts of Elder Yu Heng."

"So I want to take a look around. During this period, opportunities are pouring out everywhere, and I also want to walk around and seek my own opportunities." Ye Ming answered without missing a beat.

Xia Jin frowned, but still said, "If you insist on leaving, then I will tell Senior Brother Yu Heng."

Since Jiang Yuheng was exposed, he has been careful to cover up his whereabouts and dare not show his face.

During this period of time, I have been in seclusion in this border town and have not been involved in outside affairs.

"Then there is Elder Lao Xiajin." Ye Ming said respectfully.

Xia Jin nodded, then turned around and headed to Jiang Yuheng's retreat place.

"Why does this woman pay so much attention to me? Did someone in the sect tell her about me?"

Looking at Xia Jin's leaving figure, Ye Ming frowned tightly.

However, he did not intend to let Jiang Yuheng and others know his whereabouts, so when Xia Jin turned to leave, he returned to the room, opened the window on the other side, hid his figure, and then turned into a stream of light. , go away quickly.

His origin was well known to Song Shuxu, the leader of the Chen Sect, and Jiang Chen, the founder, so he was not worried that Jiang Yuheng and others would think too much about it.

"This kid really has a secret and has been covering it up."

But not long after Ye Ming turned into a stream of light and left, Xia Jin's figure walked into his room, looking at the window that was pushed open, silently.

"Ye Yun? If he wants to leave, then let him leave..."

Xia Jin did not chase after him immediately, but went to Jiang Yuheng's retreat and informed him of the matter.

It was just Jiang Yuheng's answer that made her a little stunned.

"Senior brother, Ye Yun has many secrets and little tricks along the way. Don't you know?"

"I'm worried that the origin of this son will bring unexpected disasters to the Chen Sect." Xia Jin looked worried.

She still has a lot of feelings for the Chen Sect, otherwise she would not have rushed back from the territory of Nanhuang State just to investigate the authenticity of what Jiang Lan said that day.

Jiang Yuheng has always had a good impression of Xia Jin. If others disturbed his practice, he would have become angry.

But facing Xia Jin, he remained patient and said warmly, "Junior sister Xia Jin, don't worry. I know Ye Yun's origins better than anyone else, and my father also knows it. As for what Ye Yun is going to do, then It’s his business and has nothing to do with us.”

"After a while, after we have avoided the limelight, we will return to the Chen Sect."

Hearing this, Xia Jin was completely stunned, then frowned and left the place.

"Even Master knows Ye Yun's origin?"

"Could it be..."

Her eyes were full of worry, and then she looked in the direction where Ye Ming disappeared. After hesitating for a long time, she followed him.

…

Several days flew by.

In a high mountain range at the junction of Nanmo Prefecture and Zhongtian Prefecture.

A towering and majestic palace is located deep in the mountains. The place is misty and misty, with green peaks and green valleys. The majestic mountains are like giants standing between heaven and earth, blocking the prying eyes from all directions.

The magnificent palace is extremely gorgeous. The pavilions, pavilions, fragrant pools and pavilions in front of the palace are painted with gold and red, showing nobility.

In the surrounding sky, some rare birds and animals with bright feathers occasionally fall down and come to drink water in the nearby lake.

In an extremely primitive mountain, such a palace suddenly appeared. If there were any mortals here, they would definitely be shocked by the miracle.

The strange fog and undulating mountains shrouded the surroundings, and even the monks might not be able to notice this place.

Uh-huh!

Suddenly, in the depths of the sky, a golden stream of light flashed, and a handsome young man in feathers and a jade crown rode the divine rainbow and landed on a mountain peak here.

"Master Imperial Master, it's really hard to find one after moving here, but such a leisurely and leisurely mood is in line with Master Imperial Master's elegance."

Jiang Lan put his hands behind his back and smiled, looking at the scenery around him as if in admiration.

There was a loud roar, the mountains ahead shook, the misty mist suddenly dispersed, and a dazzling moon-like sword light, with Ling Ran's murderous intent, instantly struck in front of him.

With such power, like mountains and seas pouring down, and lingering with the terrifying power of heaven and earth, even a ten thousand-foot-long mountain will be split into pieces with a single sword.

But facing such a sudden sword attack, Jiang Lan had no intention of blocking him. He still stood there with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face.

Buzz! ! !

The void buzzed, and a long and slender finger, carved like fairy jade, fell down and placed lightly under the sword light.

For a moment, the world suddenly became silent, and the sharp sword light instantly dissipated into nothingness.

"who?"

An unwilling roar resounded in the dissipating clouds of clouds, and a beautiful woman rushed out with a sword. She looked at Jiang Lan coldly with a cold face. She was none other than Lou Long, the former palace lord of the Goddess Palace.

"Taki'er, don't be rude."

A clean and simple palm rested on her shoulder, stopping her.

Behind him, Ge Qixing, who was wearing a Taoist robe and a gentle face, walked out expressionlessly.

He first glanced at Jiang Lan standing on the mountain peak, then looked at the void behind him and said, "I didn't expect that even the Lord of Ziwei would become someone else's slave and serve for him."

There were ripples in the void, but no one answered.

"Qixing, why are you stopping me? If it weren't for this son, how could Teng'er be killed? Teng'er's death is inseparable from him."

Lou Long stared at Jiang Lan, his eyes full of resentment and hatred.

"What the Imperial Master said is wrong. Ziwei is the future owner of Ziwei, and I am the future Emperor of Heaven. She will protect me in advance. Isn't this what should be done?" Jiang Lan smiled slightly.

Ge Qixing did not respond to this matter, but asked calmly, "Why are you here?"

He was not surprised that Jiang Lan could find his location. This man's methods were numerous and mysterious, and he couldn't see them clearly.

"When I come here, I naturally have something important to discuss with the National Master."

"I know that you have a star field map of the Star Martial Secret Treasury in your hand. In addition, there are two Star Martial Broken Keys, so I want to make a deal with you." Jiang Lan said with a smile.

Ge Qixing's eyes flashed and he looked at him and said, "What deal?"

Since Jiang Lan had stayed in the Goddess Palace for a while, he must have known that Ji Xuanxin had the star field map of the Xingwu secret library.

With his ability, he will definitely be able to hold it in his hands.

As for him knowing that he had these two things in his hands, Ge Qixing was not surprised.

"The Imperial Master will give me the Star Territory Map and the Star Martial Broken Key. I will tell you the location of the person who killed Xiao Teng and ask you to avenge your son." Jiang Lan said with a smile.

"you……"

Hearing this, a flash of anger and sorrow flashed in Lou Long's eyes, and he hated Jiang Lan even more.

Ge Qixing also didn't expect that Jiang Lan would use this matter to make a deal with him. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly, "I haven't troubled you about Teng'er's death, but you came to find it yourself. , do you think that with Gongsun Ziwei protecting you, you will be safe?"

"National Master, please do not get angry. People cannot be resurrected after death. You know exactly what your purpose is in training Xiao Teng. Why should you feel sorry for yourself because of a dead person?"

"While Xiao Teng hasn't been dead for a long time now, you may be able to condense his destiny as Lord of the Stars back. When his destiny is completely digested and absorbed, it will be difficult to deal with..." Jiang Lan still led Smiling.

"Ah...I'm going to kill you..."

Lou Long finally couldn't bear it anymore. Xiao Teng died in the left sentence, and he died not long ago in the right sentence. She felt that Jiang Lan came here just to provoke them...

However, Ge Qixing suppressed his anger.

He grabbed Lou Long, looked at Jiang Lan coldly, and said, "You know a lot, but tell me, where is the real murderer of Teng'er now?"

Jiang Lan chuckled and said, "It's okay to inform the Imperial Master about this. You can also see that Xiao Teng probably died at the hands of the Blood Immortal Cult. Then Xie Jianjia may have come into contact with the Blood Immortal Cult when he was in the imperial capital. , your son is stupid, he was played by her, and he probably won’t be able to figure out how he died until he dies, which is indeed pitiful.”

"Stop talking nonsense." Ge Qixing said coldly.

"Before the Star Skeleton Ruins appeared, I met a person in Anqiu City whose aura was very similar to that of the successor of the Blood Immortal Cult..." Jiang Lan smiled and finally got to the point.

When Ge Qixing heard this, a terrifying light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Lou Long beside him was gnashing his teeth, wishing he could find this person and cut him into pieces.

"Anqiu City..."

Ge Qixing calmed down. He did know that someone related to the Blood Immortal Sect appeared in Anqiu City that day, and the saint Ling Zhuyun of the Yaochi Sect was attacked and killed.

"When you tried to subdue the young man in blood, you were blocked by someone secretly. Could it be that heir to the Blood Immortal Sect?"

He connected some of the things he learned and quickly guessed a few things.

"I'm not bragging as a junior. There are really not many people in the world today who can kill people without anyone noticing under my nose."

"There were indeed a few guys that day who were quite mysterious." Jiang Lan put his hands behind his back and smiled calmly.

Ge Qixing was a little unconvinced at first, but if Jiang Lan was lying, he could easily tell.

Right now, he was seventy-eight percent convinced.

"Who is that person and where is he now?" Ge Qixing asked again.

Jiang Lan shook his head and said, "Did the Imperial Master forget the deal I just mentioned?"

Ge Qixing looked at him with deep eyes, as if he was calculating something, and said, "I can give you the Star Territory Map and the Star Martial Broken Key, but I have one more condition."

"National Master, please speak." Jiang Lan said.

"You must follow me and help me find that person. Before that, I can give you the Star Territory Map. After killing that person, I will give you the remaining Star Martial Broken Key."

Ge Qixing didn't believe Jiang Lan would be so kind, so he gave himself some room.

Hearing this, Jiang Lan seemed to be lost in thought.

After a moment, he was very decisive and said with a smile, "That's settled."

Ge Qixing looked at him calmly. Under his wide sleeves, a jade-sealed box flew out. The misty glow escaped, and even the void was illuminated crystal clear.

"In three days, I will come back here to look for the Imperial Master."

Jiang Lan did not check whether it was what he wanted. He took it with a wave of his hand and left in the presence of the two people.

"Qixing, this man is so cunning, how could you hand over the Star Territory Map to him so easily?"

Seeing Jiang Lan leave like this, Lou Long felt a little unwilling.

Ge Qixing's face was dull and he said, "I have other plans. The Star Territory Map and the Star Martial Broken Key are not so easy to obtain."

"This son is arrogant and arrogant. He thinks that he is destined to the fate of heaven and earth. He has long considered himself the emperor of heaven. Sooner or later, he will repay this karma."

In three days, he also needed to prepare well, and by the way, he brought the two boys he trained at that time.

After regaining the fate of the Lord of Stars, let the two begin to merge.

On the other side, after Jiang Lan left the mountains, he tore apart the void, drove the small world across the turbulent flow of time and space, and headed towards the imperial capital.

Ordinary people in the Seven Realms can cross the void, but they are definitely not as relaxed and casual as him. The small world can even offset the impact of the turbulence of time and space at will, which is the foundation of the saint family.

Only he can have such a luxury of using it as a "vehicle" to travel through the void.

In less than a day, Jiang Lan returned to the imperial capital, at his old place, Yuxianfang.

Linshui Zhai.

As soon as he opened the curtain and walked in, a beautiful figure threw herself into his arms, and they both fell onto the wooden mat on the soft couch.

"We haven't seen each other for a few days, and we are so clingy..." Jiang Lan shook his head slightly.

Song Youwei's hair was tied up high, and she was wearing a white gauze skirt. Her waist was tied with water-blue soft tobacco into a begonia-like pattern, and a hosta was inserted diagonally into her bun.

"I can't miss you..."

At this moment, the whole person was thrown into his arms, her hair was messed up, and her eyes were misty, as if they contained autumn water.

Jiang Lan sat up halfway, held her in his arms, and said, "It's business."

"I went to Caiyi Pavilion today to change into new socks. Do they look good?" Song Youwei ignored him, grabbed his hand, and put it on her lap.

The slender and round legs have skin as white as snow with a gleaming sheen.

Under the silk-thin socks, the jade feet were crystal clear, and the arches of the feet were delicate and white, playfully dyed with cinnamon.

"You look good no matter what you wear." Jiang Lan shook his head slightly, with a smile on his lips, a hint of endearment.

"whee……"

Seeing her like this, Jiang Lan could only wait until later to get down to business.

A few hours later, sparkling waves appeared on the river outside Linshui Zhai. There were cloud boats and boats passing by. The mist was steaming, and the woman's melodious voice spread far away.

"I have received news that Xue Wuchen secretly left Dongyuan Prefecture more than ten days ago. The inheritor of Kaiyang's origin is unknown whether he is alive or dead. However, internal information from the Blood Immortal Sect said that this person was surrounded and suppressed by the masters of the Xue family. Pass……"

"The origin of Kaiyang is probably in Xue Wuchen's hands."

Song Youwei's face was smudged with the color of haze, and she leaned lazily on Jiang Lan's chest while reporting the situation.

Jiang Lan was not surprised, and then he handed something to Song Youwei.

"Xue Wuchen won't be able to bounce around for long. After he has no effect, I will take action to avenge you."

"It doesn't matter whether you want to take revenge or not. It can't affect your plan..."

"Is this the Blood Spirit Orb?" Song Youwei looked at the blood-colored orb in her hand.

"I have re-refined it, and this time the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Puppet can easily kill ordinary seventh-level masters." Jiang Lan explained.

"Which unlucky guy are you going to attack this time?" Song Youwei accepted the Blood Spirit Orb, a little curious.

"I want you to lead the people of the Blood Immortal Sect to rescue this person from Xue Wuchen..." Jiang Lan briefly explained his plan.

Before Xue Wuchen could reshape the Holy Spirit Embryo, he would not dare to easily reveal that he was the reincarnation of the Blood Immortal Ancestor.

For the Blood Family, the true spirit of the Blood Immortal Ancestor is the best material for the soul-melting technique.

The Blood Immortal Ancestor rebelled from the Blood Family in the first place precisely because he had a deep grudge with the Blood Family that was almost impossible to resolve.

If the Xue family knew that he was pretending to be the ancestor of the Xue family, they would definitely not leave him in the world.

Soon, three days passed by in a flash. Jiang Lan arrived at the appointed hilltop. Half a quarter of an hour later, Ge Qixing also appeared and walked out of the void.

He was alone, and Lou Long was not following him.

"I'm curious, why does the Imperial Master keep Lou Long by his side and doesn't hesitate to make enemies of the Goddess Palace?"

"Is there something mysterious about this girl Lou Long?" Jiang Lan asked with a smile.

Ge Qixing looked at him deeply, as if to make sure Jiang Lan knew something.

"Long'er is my Taoist companion. What's the point of being an enemy of the Goddess Palace because of her?" He replied calmly.

Jiang Lan smiled and said, "I thought it was Lou Long who accidentally ate a Seven-Star Flower, which caused a trace of the Seven-Star Wonderful Truth in her blood. The Imperial Master might one day want to refine her into a medicine." "

Ge Qixing suddenly turned his head and stared at him. His face did not show any anger, but it was so quiet that it made people feel scary.

"Who are you?"

"It's time to set off."

Jiang Lan didn't answer. With a wave of his robe, the void in front of his eyes split open, and he stepped into it.

Ge Qixing's face was gloomy, and he resisted the urge to kill Jiang Lan here, and then followed him expressionlessly.

…

Zhongtian Prefecture, among the ruins three thousand miles outside Jixu City.

At this time, night has fallen, stars are dotted, and the moon is high. This place was once an extremely prosperous sect. For some reason, it attracted a powerful enemy and was finally destroyed. After a long time, only this ruin remains.

At this moment, there were bonfires burning, and several figures were sitting around in the collapsed palace, discussing matters in low voices.

"I heard that your Excellency has left Dongyuan Prefecture and came to Zhongtian Prefecture..."

"If you take action personally, you will definitely be able to capture Ling Zhuyun this time. Her spiritual body is crucial to the resurrection of the ancestor and cannot be lost."

"It's a pity that Xue Wuwang, he shouldn't have been so careless last time in Anqiu City."

"I hope that this time the Lord will personally take action and avenge Xue Wuwu."

"If the ancestor is revived, Zhongtian State is not our territory yet..."

While a few people were talking, clouds in the distance suddenly floated in, covering the stars and moon, making the place darker and darker, and there seemed to be a strong smell of blood in the air.

Several people were instantly alarmed and looked towards the source of the smell.

In the darkness, I saw a young man with a handsome face and fair skin walking slowly. He was wearing a washed white robe. His hair was very dark and thick. He had his hands slightly behind his back, his posture was casual, and his eyes were There is a sense of vicissitudes and profoundness in the depths overlooking the world.

Behind him, there were many figures. On the left and right, there was an old woman wearing a snake bun and linen clothes, with a bloody gourd hanging from her waist, and an old woman shrouded in a black hood with a breath. The old man is as cold as a ghost.

Behind these two figures, there were many more figures, dozens of them, including men and women, old and young. The only thing they had in common was that they were filled with a strong bloody evil aura.

"Greetings, my lord."

When they saw the person coming, everyone in the ruins hurriedly stood up and saluted with great respect.

The young man in white robe waved his hand and said, "They are all members of my family. There is no need to be polite in front of me. How is the information I asked you to inquire about now?"

"Replying to your lord, it's almost done. Currently, only the essence and blood of Yaochi Sect Saint Ling Zhuyun is left, which has not yet been collected. However, we have been keeping people's attention on Ling Zhuyun's traces."

"Now that the Lord is personally taking action, her essence and blood must be in the bag." Several people reported back.

The young man in white robe smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. There is still one person left. This speed is quite fast, but I am not here just for this reason."

"Young Master is a descendant of our ancestors. Your business is the business of our Blood Immortal Sect. You only need to give an order, and everyone in our Blood Immortal Sect will be at your disposal."

Beside him, the old woman in linen clothes immediately said respectfully.

The others also hurriedly echoed.

The young man in white robe waved his hand and said, "It's just a small matter. There is a little thief who stole the ancestors' things. I came here this time to get them back. But Granny Xuesha, do you have a Disciple, name is Song Youwei?"

The old woman in Mai immediately said, "Back to the young master, I do have a disciple named Song Youwei. She is very talented and is a candidate for a saint in the sect."

"I wonder what the young master's orders are when you ask about this matter?"

An intriguing thought flashed in the eyes of the young man in white robe, and he waved his hand and said, "Nothing, I just want to know her current whereabouts. Is she in good health after returning to Zhongtian Prefecture?"

The old woman in Mai was startled, then shook her head and said, "She has always been independent, and I don't know her whereabouts. Could it be that the young master wants to see her?"

The young man in white robe chuckled and said, "The little thief's method is indeed extraordinary if he can break the Nine Spirit Blood Seal on her body, but he can't escape from my grasp."

"All of this, I did it deliberately, just waiting for him to take the bait."

As he spoke, he flipped it casually, and the void was suddenly filled with blood and blood mist was steaming.

A nine-headed worm emerged from it, carrying a ferocious malice that made everyone around him feel cold.

"Could this be the Nine Spirits Blood Seal in the record?"

The expression of the old woman in Mai changed as she recognized the vicious nine-headed insect, and the other people around her couldn't help but show fear.

The next moment, the young man in white robe flicked his hand, and the nine-headed insect turned into a streak of blood and roared into the void, seeming to fly somewhere.

"Follow it." The young man in white robe said calmly and followed closely.
