Junior sister, I really need to control you

Looking at the entire realm of the Imperial Edict True Person, these are all top-tier and formidable techniques.

The most unique of them all is the Taibai Sword, which is a top-tier magic weapon. After being nurtured for hundreds of years, Li Yinsheng couldn't even find a comparable reference point.

Compared to his current methods, the inferior True Fire of the Sun is only barely usable.

But speaking of the Taibai Sword...

Li Yinsheng turned to look at Fei Yuan, the Five Poisons Sect cultivator he had saved.

"Thank you so much for saving me, sir. I am deeply grateful," Fei Yuan said, bowing to Li Yinsheng.

His face didn't show much relief at surviving the ordeal; instead, it was filled with tension.

Not to mention his current extremely poor condition, even when he was in good condition, he wouldn't have much of a chance of surviving against such a killer.

Unfortunately, the person in front of him seemed to be a righteous cultivator, while he, being a demonic cultivator, was naturally at odds with him.

Having just fled for his life, he had no energy left to conceal his demonic aura. Although he could call himself a rogue cultivator, the fact that he practiced demonic arts could not be hidden.

"You just called yourself a rogue cultivator?" Li Yinsheng looked at Fei Yuan with a half-smile. "A rogue cultivator who practices the Five Poisons Scripture is a first for me."

Upon hearing this, Fei Yuan was deeply shaken.

“Fellow Daoist, although what I cultivate is a demonic art, it is by no means the infamous Five Poisons Scripture…” he quickly said.

A beam of blue light shone on him, and blue runes covered his entire body.

"Think it over before you speak," Li Yinsheng said with a smile.

"Poison? Which fellow disciple are you?!" Fei Yuan's expression changed, not with relief, but with utter terror.

For other cultivators, encountering a fellow disciple might be a joyous occasion.

But for cultivators of the Five Poisons Sect, encountering a fellow disciple is like being attacked by the King of Hell.

He took off the Qiankun bag almost without thinking and presented it with both hands.

"Senior brother, all the spiritual herbs I picked along the way are here. Please take a look."

Seeing that the green runes on his body had not changed, Li Yinsheng raised an eyebrow slightly: "I just heard you tell those three demons that you gave them all the spiritual herbs? Where did these come from?"

"Senior brother, you are wise. What I gave them were naturally counterfeit goods that had been disguised beforehand."

Fei Yuan said, "Every time my junior brother collects a spiritual herb, he uses a secret method to separate its essence and make a fake one in case of emergency."

"Don't you know? This is a tradition of our Five Poisons Sect. Once we get our hands on something, if we can fake it, we make one or two fakes first, to prevent our fellow disciples from having any covetous thoughts."

He paused for a moment, then added, "You can also sell the fakes to scam fellow disciples who don't have a good eye."

Li Yinsheng remained silent.

Chapter 181 The Immortal's Former Residence

After checking and carefully storing all the medicinal herbs given by Fei Yuan, Li Yinsheng asked another question.

"How did you encounter these three black crows? With your cultivation level and skills, why were you chased so badly?"

Li Yinsheng was genuinely puzzled.

In his perception, Fei Yuan, like the Confucian scholars of the Four Absolutes Society, had only recently condensed his Dharma form, so his cultivation level was at the bottom among those of the same level.

Any one of those three black crows has a higher cultivation level than him.

But he was practicing the Five Poisons Scripture after all. Even if his cultivation level was lower and he was outnumbered, he shouldn't have difficulty escaping, right?

The quality of magical power cultivated from the Five Poisons Scripture alone is enough to make up for the gap in cultivation level to a large extent.

Putting everything else aside, the effect of the suspected poison on concealing one's aura should be enough for Fei Yuan to escape.

Bathed in azure light, with azure runes covering his body, Fei Yuan answered straightforwardly, showing no intention of lying.

"Senior brother, this matter is really my bad luck," he said with a wry smile. "I have only recently formed my Dharma form and am short of money, so I brought a few disciples and servants to Zhelong Valley to look for spiritual herbs."

"The search in the past few days has gone smoothly. Apart from one disciple, two furnace cauldrons and four servants being not diligent and clever enough and being killed by my junior brother, we haven't encountered any troubles."

"But just yesterday, a wicked person appeared among my junior brother's disciples and discovered traces of a great black crow demon."

"Junior brother thought that the demon cores and bodies of the demon race were quite valuable, and wanted to hunt them down."

"As a result, my junior brother led the disciples to surround the great black crow demon, but it summoned a full five demon kings! Five of them!"

Fei Yuan, a dignified True Man, looked aggrieved at this moment.

"Although there are many Imperial Masters in Zhelong Valley who come to search for spiritual herbs, most of them come alone, and it is very rare for them to come in twos or threes."

"That flock of black crows actually consisted of five demon kings. At that time, my junior brother abandoned his unfilial disciples and good-for-nothings, intending to avoid their sharp edge."

"But before they'd gotten very far, another golden crow appeared behind them!"

Li Yinsheng's expression changed slightly: "Golden Crow?"

If it weren't for the fact that the green runes on Fei Yuan's body remained unchanged, he would have suspected that Fei Yuan was lying.

Fei Yuan quickly explained, "That golden crow is not pure blood; it only has the form of a golden crow. Its cultivation level may not have reached the peak of the Dharma Aspect Realm."

"However, even a mixed-blood Golden Crow is something I am not capable of fighting."

"In the blink of an eye, he burned two of my magic treasures with his True Sun Fire and shattered one of my protective magic treasures, leaving me with only my natal magic treasure."

"My junior brother sacrificed several life-saving talismans to barely escape."

"I thought that would save my life, but I don't know what kind of sorcery that bastard used on my junior brother. It made those three black crow demon kings see through the poison. No matter how my junior brother hid, they kept chasing after him."

"So my junior brother had no choice but to abandon his hiding and run for his life."

Li Yinsheng nodded.

No wonder Fei Yuan only tried to escape and didn't use the Poisonous Concealment Technique.

Now it seems that the Golden Crow's methods are superior.

This is not surprising. Although the Five Poisons Scripture is a lineage of human immortals, the Golden Crow Demon Court, where the Golden Crow resides, is a behemoth comparable to the entire Taihao Immortal Sect.

Even with his divine sense, he couldn't detect any mark placed on Fei Yuan, which shows how clever he was.

"After that, I met my senior brother who saved my life," Fei Yuan said with a flattering smile.

He kept calling him "senior brother," but he didn't even dare to ask Li Yinsheng's name.

After all, within the Five Poisons Sect, among fellow disciples, let alone their names, many dare not even show their true faces, and disguise their appearance as poison for many years.

He is most grateful that he has only dabbled in slow-acting drugs and has hardly been affected by them.

The other four poisoners were still able to use their reason to restrain themselves when facing cultivators with higher cultivation or combat power.

Only cultivators who have mastered slow-acting poisons are more likely to act arrogantly and rudely once the slow-acting poison takes effect, especially if the cultivator in front of them is of higher cultivation level.

Fortunately, he doesn't practice slow-acting poison, so he won't anger his incredibly powerful senior brother. He should be able to survive without much trouble.

He was immediately bathed in a blue light and heard Li Yinsheng ask a question leisurely.

"By the way, junior brother, in all your years of cultivation, have you ever done anything to harm mortals or cultivators?"

Fei Yuan blinked, a thoughtful look in his eyes, followed by fear.

"Senior brother! Why are you asking these questions!"

Li Yinsheng chuckled: "I was just asking. If you haven't done anything like this, just say no."

Fei Yuan let out a strange cry, and his entire body transformed into a ball of purple-gray light, shooting away into the distance.

The white light arrived first, forcing the purple-gray light back.

Fei Yuan looked at the flying sword pressed against his brow, then turned to Li Yinsheng with a sheepish grin: "This senior brother..."

“Since you don’t want to talk about it, I’ll have to ask you slowly,” Li Yinsheng said, arms crossed. “Tell me about the disciples, furnace cauldrons, and servants you killed. What happened?”

“That disciple… that disciple…” Fei Yuan’s expression changed slightly, “That disciple lost both his parents at a young age, and my junior brother took pity on him and took him in as a disciple…”

The green runes instantly turned crimson, and Fei Yuan screamed in agony.

"You're lying about your parents being dead?" Li Yinsheng asked.

“He…his parents are indeed dead,” Fei Yuan stammered, “but…but…”

"Just what?" Li Yinsheng asked.

“...but his parents were killed by his junior brother,” Fei Yuan said.

"Why kill him?" Li Yinsheng asked. "Could it be that you have taken a liking to that disciple's talent and want to sever his worldly ties so that you can cultivate and control him?"

"His talent wasn't particularly outstanding," Fei Yuan said cautiously, "it's just that my junior brother was suffering from a bout of obsessive poison at the time..."

"What does the drug addiction have to do with you killing people?" Li Yinsheng asked.

"My junior brother was deeply in love with a fellow disciple, but she already had a partner."

Fei Yuan explained, "It just so happens that the disciple's parents share the same surname as my senior sister and her Daoist partner."

"At the time, I was suffering from a bout of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Upon learning of this, my emotions were somewhat agitated, so I hastily dealt with those two people, as well as that family..."

Li Yinsheng narrowed his eyes slightly: "So this is what happens when anger poison takes effect. Have you done anything similar when other poisonous thoughts take effect?"

Fei Yuan nodded: "When Junior Brother's poison flares up, he often searches for small sects and families in the surrounding area to find some relief..."

The Taibai Sword flashed with white light.

A headless corpse and a head fell into the forest below. Li Yinsheng reached out and caught Fei Yuan's Qiankun bag and the double-bead magic weapon.

"This magic weapon is quite good; it can be used to refine the Mystic Crystal Mirror." He nodded in satisfaction.

The natal magic weapon of the Imperial Decree Master already possesses relatively abundant spiritual energy.

If it weren't for the fact that the crafting of the Mystic Crystal Mirror required five spiritual objects or magical treasures, this one double-bead magical treasure would be more than enough to replace five ordinary magical treasures.

After dealing with Fei Yuan, he turned to look at the two black crows that were still immobilized, and the blue light shone on them.

……

After an incense stick has burned.

Li Yinsheng landed back on the ground and walked towards Shangguan Ling'er and the other two, toying with three demonic cores that exuded a powerful demonic aura in his hand.

Looking at the demon core, Li Yinsheng couldn't help but smile, clearly in a good mood.

After all, although there are many demon kings among the demon race, most of them do not easily appear in the territory of the human race, so the demon cores of demon kings are extremely rare.
