Chapter 10, "Unleashing a Bloodbath," can't be considered just a fleeting glimpse?
10
Miao Jue watched as Dongfang Yaotian fainted for a while and then recovered.
The male protagonist truly lives up to his Heavenly-level Wind Spirit Bone; even when poisoned and having seizures, he can recover. Moreover, his bravado mechanism prevents him from getting into trouble over a plate of green beans.
Then he gave a crooked smile, pretending nothing had happened: "I'm here to say something. Once we leave this giant forest, we'll be in the Canggu Mountain area. Qianqian, you must stay close to me at all times, understand?"
Chen Jinshi put down his chopsticks, glanced at Miaojue out of the corner of his eye.
His previously inexplicably stiff neck and shoulders finally relaxed, and his relaxed, cynical gaze returned, his long eyes swirling with a dark glint, as if he were plotting something again.
Miaojue folded his hands and said, "I'd rather not."
There's only one idiot in the whole place who doesn't know the truth. Guess who it is.
"There's no room for discussion, listen to me!" the male protagonist snapped.
Dongfang Yaotian's chiseled profile was filled with domineering and solemnity. He said in an unusually serious tone, "I know your body better than anyone. Now that I've brought you out, I won't allow anything to happen to you."
There were too many flaws, so Miaojue rolled her eyes and closed her eyes.
Being by the male lead's side is where things really happen.
The entire giant forest is now filled with hidden experts, who are waiting for an opportunity to surround Dongfang Yaotian. Once his Nether Bone Blade shows any signs of life, everyone will begin to mercilessly slaughter the Nether Clan.
As the brilliant idea came to mind, a chill suddenly ran down his spine.
However, in the original storyline, this robbery did not occur before entering Canggu Mountain, and the Julin part was not mentioned in the storyline that caused the male and female protagonists great distress.
So where did those people go?
Dongfang Yaotian passionately expressed his determination to win against the Underworld Clan. Once the reinforcements from Qiaochi Kingdom arrived, they would set up an array throughout the Canggu Mountain area to force out the Yingyu and kill it with all their might!
The brilliant secret was beyond his comprehension, but the villain listened attentively, nodding in support from time to time.
Finally, they applauded: "Well said! We must show the might of our Tianyan Kingdom in front of Qiaochi Kingdom!"
Dongfang Yaotian clearly showed an emotional expression, as if saying, "It's rare to find a true friend in life," and jumped off the carriage, shaking his head.
He was already no match for the villain, and now he's poisoned by green beans. The clever trick is to hold his forehead.
Amidst the villain's still cool and meaningful laughter, she finally understood.
Where have all the experts in the giant forest gone at this moment?
Yes, who can outcompete him in the fight against the Netherworld Clan?
This is the villain who will wipe out the whole world ten years later. Anyone who tried to take things from him along the way definitely couldn't beat him.
“And you know what?” he said happily.
"These people are not part of the Eight Directions Covenant, therefore—"
Dust settled, tears welling in her eyes as she smiled. "Even if you die, it can't be made public."
…
The villain's figure vanished like a gray mist in the blink of an eye.
Miao Jue leaned back in the carriage, diligently absorbing all the wood spirit essence between the giant forest.
She wasn't too panicked. The surrounding wood spirit field gave her an extra boost, and the spirit bones in her inner palace even grew another inch, extending the duration of the time she could bear back to the past.
When Mei Zichen appeared last time, Miao Jue had already realized that the wood spirit essence brought by the high-level wood-type spirit bone could be used by her.
Now she discovered that she could absorb anything that was wood-based. The towering tree was imbued with the spirit of a thousand-year-old tree, and with each breath she took, she had the illusion that her spiritual bones were rising from the ground.
The more wood spirit she absorbed, the clearer the voices of those ancient trees under the shadowy canopy became, as if they were transmitted from the same source into her clear sea of consciousness:
"Who...is that...?"
"What amazing attributes..."
Listen quietly to the magic formula, as if the spirit bone has merged into the intertwined roots and trees of the surrounding soil and wood, and through the ears of the wind and leaves, it becomes clearer and clearer.
Faint human voices were approaching her.
"Here, right here in this carriage..."
"...a ghostly aura that has never appeared before..."
"Is it...the tenth?"
"Such immense power... What element is he?..."
These cultivators lurking in the giant forest seemed to have their eyes on her. If it weren't for Miao Jue's enhanced hearing, she wouldn't have been able to hear a single word.
The fact that Dongfang Yaotian, Gong Yuqiu, and the others who were walking at the front of the group did not notice them indicates that the newcomer's cultivation level was at least above theirs.
The sounds grew stronger and stronger, to the point that the secret technique could be heard with one's own ears without the aid of the giant tree, and within these sounds was an unmistakable longing.
"Where?...Where..."
"Give me!"
The powerful flesh and blood of the Netherworld race are like poison, bringing boundless power beyond the mortal realm, but also turning into a venomous addiction that clings to the bone.
This seems to explain why Chen Jinshi pushed the male protagonist to forge the Nether Bone Blade—it must be because he only had one Winfish and it wasn't enough for him.
This is absolutely outrageous!
Thinking about it more deeply, it's no wonder that Chen Jinshi chose the small place of Tianyan Kingdom. It must be because he coveted the piece of Nether Bone in the inner treasury and needed the bloodline of the Eastern royal family to open the secret restrictions of the treasury. That's why he lurked by the side of the male and female protagonists and became the villain in their main storyline.
The ingenious technique focused the apical bud in the sea of consciousness, slightly parted a sliver of the window screen, and unexpectedly met a pair of thirsty eyes.
He was a middle-aged cultivator, dressed in a superior magical artifact, and his spiritual bones indicated he possessed the aptitude of the ninth level of the Earth rank.
Although the existence of the male and female protagonists makes Heavenly-level spiritual bones seem less valuable, there are only a handful of Heavenly-level spiritual bones among the vast majority of people on the continent. In the major sects and aristocratic families, Earthly-level nine is already an extremely proud talent.
But at this moment, those eyes were filled with an insatiable longing, a gaze like that of a hungry bat lurking in the dark forest.
This is someone who has eaten the food of the Underworld Clan.
Without a doubt.
Miao Jue quickly surveyed his surroundings. If there wasn't a suitable time-reversal weapon, then he could rewind time, giving himself more than enough time to escape.
But she couldn't help wondering why Chen Jinshi didn't have such eyes?
He should have consumed the most flesh and blood of the Netherworld Clan and had the greatest addiction to it, right? But those long eyes always held only a clear-headed coldness and a cruelty wrapped in a gentle smile.
The middle-aged cultivator grinned, a rare, peak-era aura of ethereal power enveloping the carriage, intoxicating all who smelled it. A blood-red shadow clouded his eyes, his lips twitched, and his arm swiftly reached into the carriage, creating ripples in the air—
He was a water-based cultivator, probably a rogue cultivator. He learned from the Heavenly Origin Mirror that the Heavenly Evolution Kingdom was going to besiege the Yingyu and came to intercept them.
Miao Jue quickly retreated, and in an instant, the surrounding air was completely drawn away by the water elemental energy, becoming suffocating and viscous. Half of the middle-aged cultivator's body twisted and throbbed like a jellyfish, and with a gurgling sound, he surged into the carriage, creating an extremely bizarre scene.
Just as the ingenious technique was about to be used to pluck the top bud, the water-shaped figure before him shattered inch by inch.
He was like a splash of water, instantly shattered into countless drops by some immense force, and then, like a bubble, burst with a pop and vanished into ashes.
A master of the ninth level of the Earth rank with a Water Spirit Bone died silently in that instant.
Miaojue's heart skipped a beat, and then she realized that the rustling voices around her had mostly quieted down, as if they had all disappeared.
She lifted the window curtain, squinted hard, and finally saw countless ashes floating in the air beneath the giant forest, densely packed, completely burying the slivers of light that peeked through the gaps between the leaves.
The dust settled, and his white robes remained pristine, collar spotless. Behind him, ashes filled the sky, and his smile was exquisitely handsome: "Wasn't it fun?"
With a deft touch, his fingertips gripped the car window tightly.
It turned out to be in this dark forest.
Dust gathered and killed everyone who had eaten the Netherworld Clan.
This is a matter of life and death outside the main storyline, buried in the ruins with a smile by the villains. The Langhuan Immortal Court will never know, and the major families will not make a fuss. It is swallowed up silently.
The male and female protagonists' convoy had just left the deep forest, completely unaware of the hellish burial ground behind them.
With a satisfied look, Chen Jinshi gazed at the distant mountains.
…
"The Netherbone Blade is warning us! That beast is coming!"
Upon entering the Canggu Mountain area, the male protagonist's loud and unrestrained voice transformed into a mountain breeze, reaching everyone's ears.
"etc!"
"It's not a Winnowing Fish that's coming—it's a wind-type Netherworld creature! It's incredibly fast, everyone stay close to me."
Miaojue looked up; this was the real main storyline.
A member of the Netherworld Clan, outside of Dongfang Yaotian's encirclement plan, suddenly appeared. Everyone was shocked to realize that there might be two Netherworld Clan members lurking within Canggu Mountain. In that case, the combined strength of Tianyan Qiaochi Kingdom and Yuxu Sect would probably be insufficient to fight them.
But in the midst of chaos, the male lead turned the tide and saved everyone, joining hands with the female lead to slay the underworld, and from then on, they became famous at home and abroad.
The system finally switched in: "Important heart-wrenching moment ahead, please handle it in time!"
Miao Jue snapped out of the atmosphere of the villain's rampage, shook her head to clear her mind—even if the villain who ate the Underworld Clan was terrifying, this was still a melodramatic and tragic love story!
In the midst of this scene where the male lead shines, the princess of Qiaochi Kingdom falls head over heels for Dongfang Yaotian at first sight, their fates intertwined, and she falls passionately in love with him.
Unlike the Jade Void Sect, Gong Yuqiu was strictly governed by sect rules, which forbade disciples from pledging love privately outside the sect. Furthermore, Qiaochi Kingdom was a neighboring kingdom of Tianyan Kingdom, and when the princess returned home and investigated, she discovered that she and Dongfang Yaotian had a childhood betrothal agreement.
Thus, Princess Qiaochi became the male lead's rightful fiancée, and the female lead was suddenly labeled a mistress.
This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Gong Yuqiu, pushing her to the first peak of heartbreak in the early stages, causing her immense pain.
The system warned, "Princess Qiaochi is coming soon. Once she falls in love with the male lead at first sight, this heart-wrenching moment will be unavoidable."
Miaojue didn't know at first glance when the princess fell for him; she only learned the whole story when the male and female protagonists broke up and were chopping down a tree.
Ultimately, today we must eliminate any possibility of Dongfang Yaotian showing off, and prevent him from being noticed by others.
The simplest and most effective method is to maximize his sexual contraction.
The key is having a plan in mind.
It's just a bit unethical.
The scene was filled with panic. The fire-type Netherworld creature was extremely fast and disappeared in an instant, leaving no time to even see what kind of ferocious beast it was.
If it launches another sudden attack, coordinating with another snail, they will have no chance of winning and will all die in these mountains.
Before Ye Ning and the other Ye family cultivators could even unleash their Six Absolute Formations, the earth elemental spiritual power, being inherently vast and heavy, was relatively inflexible and easily disrupted.
Just then, Ye Ning looked towards the direction of the ancient mountain ridge, where a figure in white robes approached with a smile. Ye Ning's eyes lit up with excitement: "It's Dao Lord! Dao Lord has arrived with the people of Qiaochi Kingdom—"
The one leading them was Princess Qiaochi.
The secret was to close your eyes.
Sure enough, just as expected! The villain not only went on a killing spree, but he also gifted us with a sadomasochistic romance.
After burying a bunch of people, they happily come to continue creating calamities for the male and female protagonists.
The author even reasonably suspects that Chen Jinshi knew about the male lead's past arranged marriage, which led everything to the border between the two countries. He used the female supporting character, Chen Jinshi, to ignite the relationship between the male and female leads, and toyed with them like walking a dog.
After Gong Yuqiu and Mei Zichen finished speaking, the Mo Yao Jade Ring in Mei Zichen's sleeve emitted a faint light. Gong Yuqiu turned and walked towards Miao Jue, saying, "The Underworld Clan may start killing at any time. Stay close to me."
Before she could respond, Dongfang Yaotian's voice interrupted: "No need—since I agreed to let her come, I have the power to protect her."
Ye Caifeng, standing to the side, revealed a jealous and resentful look. Dongfang Qian would only drag Yaotian down and kill him on the ever-changing battlefield!
Dongfang Yaotian's eyes were deep. He was actually worried that Dongfang Qian would be a burden to Gong Yuqiu by staying by her side, so he took the responsibility upon himself.
But what he said was utterly nonsensical and had no boundaries, and the female lead, as expected, completely misunderstood him.
She gripped the sword hilt tightly, her face pale, yet she persisted: "The Netherbone Blade is in your hands. You need to be in a position of leadership and cannot be distracted. With a formidable enemy at hand, can you please not be so sentimental?"
Now Dongfang Yaotian was also enraged, further misunderstanding her meaning, "She's just my sister, how can you not trust me?"
The secret technique caused everything to go black.
Trust my foot! His fiancée is right in front of him.
Miao Jue glanced at the white-clad figure leading the way, took a deep breath, and said, "Stop arguing, give each other a hug, hold each other's hands and fight, right now."
As the sun and moon can attest, she also tried a gentler approach.
Dongfang Yaotian's eyes were bloodshot: "Do we even have the strength to embrace each other?"
Gong Yuqiu swayed precariously: "There's no going back."
The secret: "." Wanting to die, but feeling that someone else deserves to die.
Without any warning, Dongfang Yaotian suddenly rose into the air, ascending to the heavens. As expected of a Heavenly-level Wind Spirit Bone, he was surrounded by thick clouds that swirled around him, with only the dazzling light of the Nether Bone Blade shining brightly, becoming the eye of the mountain array.
Dongfang Yaotian unleashed his full domineering aura: "See? Everything is actually under my control—"
The trick is to calm down, which means you absolutely have to put on this act today?
Princess Qiaochi, who was leading the group in the distance, looked in the direction of the voice. Just from the sound, she knew that it belonged to a good man who was calm in the face of danger, resourceful, and took the well-being of the people as his own responsibility.
That first glance, the moment that seals our fate, is now.
The ingenious technique fixed the apical bud in the sea of consciousness onto the male protagonist.
If we trace back to a local unit, and it only lasts for a moment, that moment of traversal can extend up to ten years.
And so, the moment the male lead landed on a cloud, the clouds dispersed, revealing the female lead's eyes, still throbbing with pain, and the female supporting character's eyes, about to be filled with amazement—
They saw Dongfang Yaotian and his eight-year-old legs.
The ingenious technique swept across the shocked faces of the crowd, and even the villain's face slowly lost its smile as he calmly looked into the distance.
The protagonist's legs are rewound ten years, transforming him into an incredibly charming dwarf.
How could it not be considered a fleeting glimpse of brilliance?
