The transmigrated villain wants to escape Feng Aotian's hellish situation.

Countless chains emerged from the magic array, locking everyone in place. At the same time, they could feel their spiritual energy rapidly draining away.

The middle stage of foundation building!

Hua Yaoyao instantly understood everything.

Cheng Lieqing was actually an undercover agent for the Demonic Sect.

Cheng Lieqing scratched the back of his head, revealing a troubled expression.

"Tsk, I already told you to put your hands behind your head, but you insisted on making me do it."

"Senior brother, kill him quickly! He's a spy for the demonic path!"

Hua Yaoyao exclaimed in surprise at Qin Yangjun, but Qin Yangjun stood still, showing no sign of making a move.

Hua Yaoyao wasn't stupid; she gradually understood what was going on, and her eyes were filled with disbelief.

No! Impossible! Absolutely impossible. Senior brother wouldn't be that kind of person. He must not have realized it yet.

"Senior brother, you...you have to do it!"

Hua Yaoyao couldn't help but urge him loudly, wanting Qin Yangjun to shatter her ridiculous idea with his actions.

But Qin Yangjun still didn't move.

Cheng Lieqing strode over to Qin Yangjun's side, looking at Hua Yaoyao with a smile.

"Senior Sister Hua, now that you understand, why pretend to be stupid? Your beloved senior brother is on our side, hahaha."

Cheng Lieqing's arrogant laughter echoed in the center of the altar, leaving all the disciples dumbfounded and looking incredulous.

This is Qin Yangjun, the chief disciple of Yuqian Sect, the Biyue Gongzi who cares deeply for his junior brothers and sisters, and the younger brother of Yaoyang Fairy. How could someone with such an outstanding background and reputation possibly be involved with the demonic path?

"No! This isn't real! You're not the senior brother! Who are you?! Where is the real senior brother? If anything happens to him, our sect leader won't let you get away with this!"

Hua Yaoyao roared at Qin Yangjun, and the disciples began to echo her.

"That's right! You can't be the senior brother!"

"It's impossible for my senior brother to be colluding with the demonic path!"

"You despicable villains of the demonic path, don't even think about tarnishing Senior Brother's reputation!"

"........."

Chapter Twenty-Seven: I'm Sorry, I'm a Bad Guy (Part Two)

Anger spread through the crowd.

The disciples cursed Qin Yangjun angrily.

Qin Yangjun made no move, simply standing quietly in place.

Cheng Lieqing then came over.

"It seems your junior brothers and sisters trust you quite a bit, preferring to believe you're a fraud rather than accept the facts before them."

Cheng Lieqing wore a strange smile.

Struggle? Hesitation? Regret?

He really wanted to know if these emotions would affect Qin Yangjun's Dao heart.

Unfortunately, he didn't see what he wanted to see on Qin Yangjun's face.

This person's expression was like a stagnant pool, completely devoid of any ripples.

In fact, Qin Yangjun had already been mentally prepared when he decided to do this.

He was not surprised by what he saw.

"Stop with your weird sense of humor. Since we've agreed to get down to business, let's stop with the nonsense."

Seeing Qin Yangjun's attitude, Cheng Lieqing's interest was greatly diminished. He could only say that he truly deserved to be called the Myriad Magic Body, and his heart of stone was so hard. He was simply born to be a demon cultivator.

However, a slight smile then appeared on his lips.

"Senior Brother is right. In that case, let's get down to business."

A jet-black demonic flame ignited in Cheng Lieqing's hand. He was about to throw it at Hua Yaoyao when Qin Yangjun grabbed his hand.

"Senior Brother, what does this mean?"

Qin Yangjun looked coldly at Cheng Lieqing.

"I remember our goal was to find the remains of the ancient spirits and their true essence, not to kill them."

"Of course I know, but I'm doing this to help my senior brother. If these people get out alive, it won't be good for his reputation."

Pretending!

Qin Yangjun found the person in front of him increasingly repulsive. Although the story in the book stated that only Yueyao, Yu Lingyue, and Qian Xiaoyu escaped, while everyone else died at Cheng Lieqing's hands.

But in this situation, Qin Yangjun has no way to escape with Hua Yaoyao.

Moreover, if all these people die, his explanation of enduring humiliation and working as an undercover agent will be very weak, so under no circumstances should Cheng Lieqing be allowed to take action.

After seeing Qin Yangjun stop Cheng Lieqing, those people had no choice but to believe the fact that the person in front of them was their senior brother.

Because those who follow the demonic path have no reason to let them go.

At this moment, Hua Yaoyao was already crying her eyes out, her tear-filled eyes staring intently at Qin Yangjun.

At this point, she was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

"Why... Senior Brother, why did you do this?! Why?"

Even though Qin Yangjun was mentally prepared, he still dared not look at Hua Yaoyao, because he knew that the feeling of being betrayed was unbearable.

But, there's nothing he can do; his identity dictates that he can't be a good person.

This was exactly what Cheng Lieqing wanted to see. In fact, he had no intention of leaving any survivors, but then he thought that if these people got out alive, Qin Yangjun's reputation would be ruined without him even having to spread any news.

After all, the words of someone who has experienced it firsthand are more convincing than someone who spreads rumors.

Cheng Lieqing smiled slightly and extinguished the flames.

"Then let's do as our senior brother said and spare their lives."

hum!

As soon as Cheng Lieqing finished speaking, a sonic boom suddenly rang out.

Everyone felt the air around them vibrate, the blood poison from the abyss began to surge, and strange melodies rang in their ears.

Cheng Lieqing looked up and around, his eyes filled with horror.

"The Great Dao resonates... Could it be that some celestial beast has broken through here?"

Qin Yangjun also frowned.

He didn't remember this scene in the book.

"Stop dawdling and lead the way. If it really is a celestial beast, and it notices us, you can forget about taking the stuff away safely."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Lieqing didn't waste any words. With a wave of his hand, a pitch-black sheepskin map appeared in front of him. As he poured his demonic energy into it, a blood-red light began to emerge from the patterns on the sheepskin map.

Then a burst of light appeared, and a stone bridge rose up in front of the altar, revealing an opening that had been shrouded in mist.

Long! Long! Long! Long!

The moment the passage appeared, the surroundings began to tremble, and at the same time, rubble kept falling from above. From the bottom of the abyss, one could almost hear the roars of wild beasts.

The roar carried an immense pressure that made it difficult for everyone to breathe.

Cheng Lieqing panicked and was about to run away when Qin Yangjun caught him.

"Remove their restraints and take them with you."

Why bother with these guys' lives at a time like this?

He was about to say those words when he saw Qin Yangjun's serious face. He knew that if he didn't release the restraints, the people in front of him wouldn't let him go. He had no choice but to immediately untie the restraints and run away.

After the group fled into the cave along the road, the roar of the giant beast outside gradually disappeared.

However, as soon as they entered the cave, a blood-red aura emanated from it. Without saying a word, Qin Yangjun immediately released his spiritual power to form a protective shield around himself and the disciples behind him.

"Great! Great! Great! Hahaha, I didn't expect it to be so easy."

A loud laugh came from ahead. Because visibility was extremely low in the blood mist, Qin Yangjun could not see what was happening ahead.

However, he could see the chains engraved with runes all around him, and all of those chains stretched toward the center.

Qin Yangjun walked forward along the chains. He first saw Cheng Lieqing, and then a pressure was applied to Qin Yangjun. A huge skeleton appeared in front of Qin Yangjun.

The skeleton resembled an ox, with a facial bone on its chest. It was several tens of feet tall and its entire body was crimson red, with a faint luster of jade. The blood-red aura emanated from it, and even though it had been dead for thousands of years, the skeleton still gave people an inexplicable sense of oppression.

In a daze, I seemed to see a monster in the shape of a bull, with a human face on its chest, roaring at me.

So these are the ferocious beasts from the upper realm...?

Qin Yangjun couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

After Qin Yangjun finished expressing his feelings, he noticed that Cheng Lieqing, who was standing in front of the skeleton, suddenly took out the parchment scroll and stroked his chin as if he was deep in thought.

"what are you doing?"

"No, it's just..."

Cheng Lieqing took a slight breath.

"Hiss—This ancient scroll records that the Crimson Taotie was thirty feet tall and its power shook the heavens. Even in death, the ferocious aura on its body was enough to drive a Golden Core cultivator into madness. The latter could be explained by the wear and tear of time, but this size... is far too different."

As he spoke, Cheng Lieqing glanced at the skeleton again and continued:

"Moreover, the battle was exceptionally fierce. Since the Crimson Glutton died, it must have had wounds on its body. But these bones are as clear as glass, without the slightest damage. Could it be that its body could repair itself after death? Strange... truly strange..."

Qin Yangjun was speechless. He could only say that this was indeed a villainous force. They were so slow and indecisive. They had found the item but didn't keep it. Instead, they were worrying about all sorts of things. Weren't they afraid that things might go wrong if things dragged on?

Qin Yangjun couldn't understand these people's logic, but he didn't intend to urge them.
