The source of all evil, I am Muchuan

A man and a sword shuttled through the woods.

The moonlight could not penetrate into the dense bushes.

Xiao Cha clutched her skirt tightly with her hands and walked steadily on the rugged mountain road. Her chest was heaving with rapid breathing due to running.

Xiao Cha took a look and saw the flying sword in front of him that was leading the way. In his sleeve was the dart given by Shangguan Qing.

To be honest, it was at this critical moment that Xiao Cha felt that this world was real.

soon.

Xiao Cha felt a light in front of his eyes and a fishy smell in his nostrils, so he guessed that he had arrived at the cave where Shangguan Qing mentioned the medicine furnace was hidden.

The moment he came out of the forest, Xiao Cha jumped, and his sword touched the ground closely.

"Hiss~"

A giant snake demon in the late Jindan stage coiled its body around one of the medicine furnaces. Noticing a stranger approaching, it paused chewing on the corpse and arched its upper body warily.

"who!"

"Why did you disguise your cultivation?"

No one answered it in the darkness, only a few tree shadows swaying.

The giant snake demon swung its tail and hit the waist of the tree, cutting it in half.

At exactly this second, several darts flew over among the flying leaves.

The dart was tightly inserted into the gap between the snake monster's scales and began to expose itself. Unfortunately, the snake monster was in the Jindan stage after all, and its skin and flesh had long been degenerated and extremely tough.

Fortunately, Xiao Cha still had a backup plan.

What happened next was that a flash of sword light reached the snake monster's eyes.

The snake demon was so stimulated that he subconsciously closed his eyes and fell to the ground, stumbling around.

And this tiny flaw is enough.

Xiao Cha took the opportunity to run in and into the cave.

It was very dark inside, but there were faint lights scattered here and there, which allowed Xiao Cha to see the scene clearly.

There was a ten-meter-long blood pool, and around it were some common people in ordinary clothes, both men and women, all with their eyes closed, with black mist floating from their foreheads from time to time. Closer to the blood pool were the disciples of Qinggu Sect, who also had their eyes closed. But unlike those common people, they sat on the ground with their hands on their knees, with a glowing ball in their abdomen, constantly supplying blood to the pool. It was obvious that this group of people had lost their minds one by one and become mere puppets.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Cha slowed down his breathing and walked closer quietly.

Hurry up, if there is any monster in here, I won’t be able to defeat it, and there is a snake monster behind me.

Thinking of Xiao Cha feeling the corner of the wall and walking inside, he estimated in his heart how long it would take to reach the formation illusion.

However, before he took a few steps, the rough stones on the mountain wall at the tip of his finger turned into cold liquid.

No, that's unlucky.

Xiao Cha licked his dry lips in disbelief, but the next moment, something on the fingertips grabbed his wrist and pulled him, causing him to fall into a pool of blood.

“He——”

He wanted to swim out of the water, but was pulled down by a pair of ghostly hands holding his legs.

The more Xiao Cha struggled, the faster she sank.

Xiao Cha simply closed his eyes and lay motionless.

I thought that since this was a male-oriented novel, no matter how close the male protagonist was to death, there would always be a chance for a comeback.

Just as he wished, just when Xiao Cha's chest was about to explode, the ghost hand pulled him into another space in the pool.

"Cough cough cough... cough."

Xiao Cha didn't care about the pain of falling on the stone slab. He quickly spat out the liquid in his mouth, lay down on the ground, breathed in the air deeply, and looked up at the top of his head with a blank look.

Xiao Cha finally realized that this was a small space within the blood pool, surrounded by barriers. He thought that Ghost Hand had brought him here on purpose.

Xiao Cha had a smile on his face that said, "As expected."

Haha, the hero’s opportunity will not appear unless he dies once.

"Who are you?"

The man's magnetic and deep voice came into Xiao Cha's ears.

The man seemed to have not spoken for a long time, and his voice was even a little hoarse.

Xiao Cha, who had just "died" once, had a surge of adrenaline and was not afraid of who was coming.

So he lay on the ground for a while, then slowly got up from the ground.

"Ahem... who are you?"

Xiao Cha turned around and saw a young man with more than a dozen iron chains piercing his body.

The iron chain is covered with red blood runes. I don’t know what it is used for, but just by thinking with my toes, I know that this thing must be something bad.

The young man raised his forehead with difficulty. His eye sockets were blood red. His eyes had been gouged out cruelly a long time ago. There were a few streaks of dried blood on his cheeks. His long hair was draped behind him, and his blue clothes were also covered in blood.

At first glance, if it weren't for the rise and fall of the man's chest, his terrifying appearance would have made him look like a thousand-year-old evil ghost from hell.

Xiao Cha stood still, his eyes scanning the man indifferently. After a long while, he spoke: "Was that ghost hand you? You brought me here?"

The man couldn't see, so he could only rely on hearing to determine Xiao Cha's location. He spoke in a weak voice, "It's me. I brought you here."

The man was breathing softly, the iron chain rubbing against his heart. Every time he spoke, his heart would feel a thousand times more pain. But he was almost developing an immortal body, and his body's ability to repair wounds was astonishingly fast. He could only linger like this. In these days, he only lived for a few months, but it felt like a lifetime.

Now, he can't miss this last chance.

"Have you seen a girl?" Xiao Cha asked directly.

"Aren't you going to ask me why I brought you here?" the man pretended to be puzzled.

Xiao Cha: "Not curious."

The man raised an eyebrow, not caring about his own safety but thinking about others, what a strange person.

But the man didn't hold a grudge at all and replied honestly, "Oh, I did hear the woman's voice just now, and the illusion behind the blood pool disappeared."

"I want to go out."

"She'll be fine."

"What makes you say that?"

"Consider me... I have a request of yours."

Xiao Cha frowned and walked around the man. "You asked me to stay here to save you, but you've got the wrong person. I don't know any magic."

The man shook his head, his nose twitching. "No, I'm no longer human. I've become this half-human, half-ghost thing, and I've long been seeking death."

"You are Mu Chuan."

"right."

"Is it Liu Han who made you like this?"

"yes."

Xiao Cha narrowed his eyes. This was a familiar routine: the disciple killed the master, either for the sake of power and inheritance of the sect, or the master had neglected the disciple too much in the past, causing the disciple to be rebellious and unkind.

"I spent ten years of cultivation and endured bone-eroding pain to bring you here because I smelled the pure yang energy on you." Mu Chuan's face was pale, and his body trembled uncontrollably when he mentioned the pure yang.

Xiao Cha's expression was not surprised. After all, he was the male protagonist, so it was not surprising that he had a Chun Yang.

He was just very curious about why Mu Chuan mentioned this, and his reaction was fear.

"When did you enter the Qingshi Gate?" Mu Chuan asked.

Xiao Cha raised her eyelids and said, "Yesterday."

Mu Chuan nodded and asked, "Have you and Liu Han ever had a weekend off?"

“…”

Xiao Cha was silent, and his expression rarely showed a bit of collapse.

It turned out that Liu Han treated herself as a bed warmer.

"No."

"Then it will be soon."

Hurry up, that Liu Han wanted to sleep with himself without even checking whether he was a man or a woman...

Xiao Cha suddenly realized.

No, I didn't hide my voice here, so Mu Chuan would think I was a man if he couldn't see me. And I was dressed as a woman in front of Liu Han, and I didn't speak, so he would think I was a woman.

Liu Han, this guy, eats with men and women! And Mu Chuan's reaction is not right. His apprentice has played with men, but he is so calm.

Isn’t this a harem novel? Where did you bring me to?

In just a few seconds, Xiao Cha calmed down his information-overloaded brain. Reason told him that now was not a good time to dwell on these things.

Xiao Cha took a deep breath and then asked, "What is the connection between the Pure Yang Body and dual cultivation?"

"He's using forbidden demonic techniques to lock me up here, forcing me to devour human souls daily. In a few days, I'll become an immortal, indestructible Soul King, wreaking havoc on the land. Of course, the person maintaining this technique will also die when the spell is complete. Before that, Liu Han might suffer a backlash from his Yin energy, causing his body to break down. That's why he needs a Pure Yang Body to maintain his health."

Xiao Cha was a little confused at this time.

Liu Han did all this just to help his master become an immortal soul king...

This reason is too outrageous.

Xiao Cha approached Mu Chuan, half-knelt in front of him and said: "You lied to me."

Mu Chuan smiled miserably, and his whole body began to tremble as if something had occurred to him. "I didn't lie to you. This is all my fault."

"He hates me to the core—"

"Liu Han is my disciple. Ten years ago, I was ordered by the sect to go down the mountain to hunt down the remaining demons. He was entrusted to me by an old friend before he died." Mu Chuan paused for a moment because of the sharp pain in his heart, then continued, "I should have taught him carefully. He has grown up day by day. When I see him, it's like seeing... the old friend who died at my hands!!"

"I had thoughts that I shouldn't have had, and did things that I shouldn't have done." Mu Chuan's voice gradually weakened, he lowered his head, and tears of blood dripped onto the stone slab.

Stand-in, this plot... has a bit of the flavor of some other software.

Xiao Cha's eyelids twitched. She felt that the immortal sect gossip in front of her would definitely turn into a shock.

Xiao Cha tried to understand the love-hate relationship between the two, but from Mu Chuan's few words, she could only learn that Mu Chuan and Liu Han's mother were old acquaintances, and they might even have feelings for each other. After Liu's mother died, Mu Chuan mistakenly took Liu Han as a substitute for the former.

But just like that, Liu Han imprisoned Mu Chuan here, and even hurt himself, in order to keep the sad memory of the person in the world forever.

Liu Han is not that kind of person.

Xiao Cha blinked and sighed. The story behind this was very complicated and as an outsider, Xiao Cha could not fit in.

"You gathered evil spirits and summoned ghost hands just to get me to listen to your story?" Xiao Cha sat down in front of Mu Chuan with his back to him, turned his head slightly and asked.

Mu Chuan shook his head and raised his empty eye sockets, then rushed towards Xiao Cha with his hands and feet, but was pulled back by the iron chain.

The iron chain rubbed against his bones, and Mu Chuan screamed at the top of his lungs, "I...I want you to kill me."

"Please...you."
