I am the snake demon!

Chapter 99 The Shortcomings of the Jie Sect

Guangming's sudden outburst was beyond everyone's expectations.

No one expected that he would suddenly riot.

At this moment, Bai Xuan was riding a Qilin at the forefront, while Lu Zhanqiu and the others had not yet arrived, and Duan Baiyu was in a daze and could not react in time.

Within this small space, Guangming, an eighth-rank Dongxuan, actually had the potential to capture Bai Xuan alive.

Everyone was shocked, while Guangming was overjoyed.

However, at that moment, a roar as angry as a lion rang out.

"You wretched creature, how dare you?"

With a roar, Master Kongsang's eyes widened, and his withered body emanated a blazing, masculine, and domineering power, like a scorching sun. A golden, transparent bell appeared out of thin air and descended from the sky, completely enveloping Monk Guangming.

The monk Guangming used all his strength, his hand capable of splitting gold and jade, but when it landed on the golden bell, it was like an egg hitting a stone. His five fingers broke straight down, and the monk Guangming was in unbearable pain, letting out a shrill scream.

"This old monk has failed in his duty of discipline, causing the Dowager Princess and the Prince to be frightened. Please forgive him."

Master Kongsang disregarded Monk Guangming and strode forward to apologize to Bai Xuan and Duan Baiyu.

This was truly a critical moment. If either of these two were to make a mistake, there would likely be no survivors in the entire Longxiang Temple.

"The fact that such a wicked monk was taught cannot be simply dismissed as a matter of poor discipline. Master, I have always respected you, but what I have seen today has truly disappointed me. If the Dragon Elephant Temple is indeed deeply involved with the Blood Shadow Sect, even if you are unaware of it, you will not escape imprisonment."

Seeing Bai Xuan "nearly" injured and captured by villains, Duan Baiyu, who had already lost one son, changed his expression drastically. He looked at Master Kongsang with sharp eyes, even showing a rare hint of aggressiveness.

"I am the abbot of Longxiang Temple. All the faults of Longxiang Temple are my fault. I cannot shirk my responsibility. However, not all the monks in Longxiang Temple are involved in this matter. All the blame lies with me. I beg the Empress Dowager and the Prince to spare the innocent people in the temple." Master Kongsang put his hands together and said with a face full of guilt.

He guessed some of it too.

If these people were just ordinary girls, Guangming wouldn't have taken such a risk.

Such ruthless methods suggest only one possibility: he was harboring Shi Yexing, and these girls were probably not legally purchased maids, but rather abducted.

Just now, he even tried to harm Bai Xuan. If he had succeeded, the Northern Kingdom would have been in chaos, and countless people would have suffered as a result.

As the abbot of Longxiang Temple, he was partly responsible for these sins.

"If they are innocent, we will release them naturally," Bai Xuan said, looking at the faint golden light emanating from Master Kongsang.

This monk possesses profound internal strength, especially his defense, which is truly extraordinary, even surpassing his usual level.

Seeing this, Bai Xuan couldn't help but feel a little envious.

The Jie Sect is good in every way, except that it has almost no defensive supernatural powers.

The Tongtian Cult Master truly embodied the saying "the best defense is a good offense."

In the great battle of the Five Saints, Laozi had the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda, Yuanshi Tianzun had the protective auspicious cloud, Jieyin Daoren had the twelve-petaled golden lotus, and Zhunti Daoren had the golden body supernatural power. Only Tongtian Jiaozhu had neither a protective magic weapon nor a protective supernatural power, and focused all his efforts on attack. Therefore, he was eventually ambushed by Ran Deng Daoren with the Dinghai Pearl and knocked off the cloud.

A disciple will naturally be just as likely to be a disciple as a master is.

The Chan Sect possesses the ancestral Qingyun Divine Power, while the Western Sect boasts the Golden Body Divine Power. In contrast, the Jie Sect generally does not cultivate defensive divine powers, but instead focuses on offensive divine powers.

Their defensive capabilities are far inferior to those of the opponent.

Everyone knows that Daoist Duobao was hit by the Fantian Seal and fell down, but they don't know that Guangchengzi was hit by the Dinghai Pearl and Hunyuan Hammer, two innate spiritual treasures, and he only fell down once. In fact, when he was hit by the Hunyuan Hammer, his three flowers and five qi had not yet recovered and he was still a mortal. His defense was so strong that no second-generation disciple of the three religions could match him.

Unfortunately, the physical training techniques available in the mortal realm were useless against him.

Even if one were to cultivate to the highest level, it would still be far inferior to his physical body, which was forged by heavenly lightning.

And that doesn't even include his scales.

If he were to transform into a snake, the defense of his scales would be far greater than that of his physical body.

Otherwise, all the body-refining martial arts in the world would have been looted by Bai Xuan long ago.

However, seeing that others could enhance their defenses while he couldn't, Bai Xuan was still a little envious.

Master Kongsang, unaware of Bai Xuan's thoughts, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that Bai Xuan would not implicate innocent people, and said, "Amitabha Buddha, Your Highness is merciful."

Bai Xuan chuckled lightly, thinking that this old monk was truly the first person to praise his compassion.

The old monk exuded a peaceful and serene aura, without any malevolent energy. Judging from his demeanor, he seemed to be a good person.

However, as the abbot of Longxiang Temple, he must take responsibility for such an incident.

Bai Xuan helped Duan Baiyu dismount and enter the Buddhist temple. Lu Zhanqiu, Qiu Yimeng, and others arrived shortly afterward.

Afterwards, Duan Qingjiang's family was carried up, while Qiu Linyuan arrived on his sword.

After waiting for about half an hour, Huangfu Ju finally captured the man.

"Shi Yexing!"

When Duan Baiyu saw Shi Yexing being captured, she had already looked at Shi Yexing's portrait countless times. Her eyes were filled with murderous intent. Without the slightest hesitation, she pointed a finger, and a sharp sword aura shot out from her fingertip, piercing straight through Shi Yexing's chest.

Shi Yexing spat out a mouthful of blood, but there was little fear on his face. Instead, he showed a hint of relief and said, "That's right, I am Shi Yexing, the leader of the Liangzhou branch of the Blood Shadow Sect. The assassin was sent by me. Do with him or me as you please."

After the torment he endured last night, Duan Baiyu's injuries were negligible to him.

"You think it's that easy to die? Tell me, who exactly ordered your assassination? Where is the Blood Shadow Cult's headquarters?" Duan Baiyu asked sternly.

Shi Yexing was taken aback when he heard this. Hadn't he already said all of this last night?

Why do I have to say it again today?

Could it be that those who came last night weren't from the Prince of Zhenbei's residence?

Or was it really just a big dream?

Seeing this, Xuejiao's eyes darted around, and she volunteered, "Auntie, let me do it. I'm skilled in soul-capturing techniques. This person's cultivation isn't even as high as mine, so I can control him."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xuejiao looked at Shi Yexing. Her eyebrows and eyes were exquisite, and her eyes, as bright as stars, seemed to speak volumes. She stared straight at Shi Yexing and said, "Look into my eyes."

Shi Yexing subconsciously looked up, stared into Xue Jiao's eyes, and was immediately stunned.

He had never seen such a beautiful face in his life.

In that instant, he even felt that it was worth abandoning everything for the person in front of him.

"Am I pretty?" Xue Jiao smiled charmingly.

"It looks good," Shi Yexing replied blankly, as if he were in a daze.

Xuejiao was somewhat surprised to see this. Although she knew the Soul-Capturing Technique, it wasn't something that could be achieved with just a few words, unless the other party was lying to her.

Thinking of this, Xuejiao narrowed her eyes, like a little fox, her beautiful eyes radiating an eerie light as she continued to control and manipulate Shi Yexing's mind, while probing his spirit to ensure that he was under control and not deceiving her.

learn from mistakes.

She will never experience yesterday's humiliation again in her life.

This was the beginning of her turnaround.

Although they hadn't known each other for long, she could tell that Bai Xuan was a filial son. Since he was a filial son, she could use his mother to control him.

This was her first and most crucial step in demonstrating her abilities and winning over Duan Baiyu.

As Xuejiao sensed the power, she quickly realized that something was wrong.

Shi Yexing was actually under her control.

It seems that Shi Yexing's soul had suffered some kind of blow before today, and was severely damaged, so it was easily controlled by her.

Although the reason is unknown, the result was that she successfully captured the soul.

Xuejiao revealed a hint of pride and turned to Duan Baiyu, saying, "Auntie, we succeeded. Now, whatever question you ask, he will answer honestly."

This is just a small step towards ultimate victory; one day she will ride on Bai Xuan's back.

Bai Xuan glanced at Xue Jiao, a smile appearing on his face. He had naturally caused the injury to Shi Yexing's soul, but he hadn't expected it to work so well in conjunction with the Bright Moon Palace's Soul-Capturing Technique. It seemed he had gained another skill.

After all, what belongs to his good sister is his, isn't it?
