Because disrupting the formation would alert Mu Shuangshuang, Youying's original plan was to remove the sleeping wisteria from the formation and move it to her residence in the Guanghan Palace of Qiuye Manor, thus framing her.
He hadn't expected that Mo Yan, who had been asleep, would wake up after he stepped into the formation. Forced into a corner, he had no choice but to trick Zi Teng into leaving the Yin Yang Covering the Sky Formation and then try to attract the attention of the righteous sects' higher-ups.
As for that paper talisman, it was his last resort. If things were exposed, activating the talisman could also destroy the formation and expose Mo Yan to the gaze of the righteous path...
Even though he had prepared for the worst, he still underestimated Mo Yan's power!
The girl was not deceived at all. Instead, she strangely sensed the murderous intent emanating from him and instantly controlled him before he could activate the paper talisman!
Even though she was mentally prepared, a sense of despair still rose in Youying's heart at this moment.
The death of an avatar is not terrible, but if the goal of ensuring Mo Yan leaves Wanren City alive is not achieved, his fate will be extremely tragic...
Just as Youying was about to give up, the gradually spreading blood-red light in Moyan's eyes caught his attention.
The Dark Abyss Vine has always been only purple and black. This blood-red light doesn't look like the Vine itself, but rather... it looks strangely familiar!
The next second, the image of something appeared in the shadow's mind...
"This is... the blood and energy of evil spirits! She actually got tainted by these things!"
For some reason, Youying had dealt with evil spirits and blood energy, and as a member of the demon race, he naturally abhorred such things!
Unexpectedly, the evil spirit's blood energy would one day become his lifeline...
He endured the excruciating pain and let out a hoarse, eerie laugh.
"Heh... Don't you deserve to die? You jinx! You killed Ling Huanzi back then! Now you're causing trouble for Shen Yunhao... Because of you, Shen Yunhao is now being targeted by Daoist Qianhe and is facing judgment from the higher-ups of the righteous path! You've also put Miss in danger. Don't you deserve to die!"
Most monsters tainted by the evil aura of blood and spirit will gradually lose their minds and become mindless zombies driven only by the instinct to devour.
Youying didn't know the extent to which Moyan was infected by the blood energy, but as long as she could anger her, she would have a chance to achieve her purpose in coming here!
"What did you say?"
Sure enough, the girl's sneer froze instantly, and a bloodthirsty light burst forth in her eyes, followed by a chilling aura of ferocity!
"What do you mean, 'stinky brother'?"
"If you don't believe me, go out and see for yourself. Right now, he's in the city facing Daoist Qianhe, taking the blame for your mistakes! You are a Dark Abyss Demon Vine, born to bring disaster. You should stay in the Dark Abyss and rot! Why did you have to come out and cause trouble..."
"puff--"
As if touched on a sore spot, the blood in Mo Yan's eyes surged like a burst dam, almost swallowing up all the purple in her eyes!
The violent purple vines strangled the shadow clone like a piece of porcelain being smashed, shattering it inch by inch. Finally, with a "bang," it turned into countless fragments, and the faint outline of a centipede's body could be seen turning into ashes.
At the very moment the shadow clone vanished—
High above, the voice of Daoist Qianhe, deliberately amplified and extremely insulting, defamatory and abusive towards Ling Huanzi, clearly pierced through layers of barriers and entered this secret chamber:
"...That Ling Huanzi is nothing but a hypocrite. He appears to be benevolent and righteous, but in reality, he is selfish, harms his fellow disciples, and brings disaster to the righteous path! Such a person... deserves to die!"
Every word was like a poisoned dagger, piercing Mo Yan's heart, which was already completely filled with bloodlust and rage!
"ah--!!!"
My last shred of reason snapped!
Mo Yan let out a shrill, extremely sharp howl as she looked up at the sky, the last glimmer of clarity in her eyes completely swallowed by the crimson blood!
Boom!!!
The terrifying power that had been accumulating for a long time, almost reaching the Tai Xu realm, suddenly erupted, breaking through the Yin Yang Covering the Sky Formation and shaking the entire Wan Ren City!
"Chi! Crane! You old dog! You deserve to die—!!!"
...
Outside Wanren City.
The shadowy body that had just led Mu Shuangshuang away from the city suddenly turned pale!
"puff--!"
He coughed violently, spitting out a mouthful of dark red blood. His breath weakened instantly, as if half of his life had been drained away!
Clearly, the destruction of the clone also caused a huge backlash against his main body!
Mu Shuangshuang, who was standing to the side, was also startled by his sudden reaction. She immediately frowned and said, "Youying? What are you doing..."
Before I could finish asking the question, there was a loud "boom"!
In the heart of Wanren City, terrifying and violent dark abyssal energy soared into the sky like smoke from a wolf's beacon, staining the horizon red!
Just like Shen Yunhao, Mu Shuangshuang's face turned deathly pale instantly. She stared in disbelief at the sky shrouded in blood-red and purplish-black vines, her voice trembling.
"How...how is this possible?! Wasn't she asleep?! How could...how could she suddenly erupt at this crucial moment?! And this aura..."
A thought flashed through her mind, and she whirled around, her sharp, piercing gaze fixed on the shadowy figure beside her. Her voice was chillingly cold as she demanded, "Did you do this?!"
Facing Mu Shuangshuang's murderous gaze, Youying's face showed a bitter and dejected expression. He weakly explained, "I left behind half of my clone, intending to take the opportunity to secretly bring her out of the city, but I didn't expect... she seems to have been controlled by the evil soul's blood energy, directly shattering my clone... her current state is probably inseparable from the evil soul's blood energy..."
Mu Shuangshuang had no reason to believe this absurd claim!
Her gaze was icy, pressing closer with each step: "When I asked you to take me out of the city, you made all sorts of excuses, using the risk as a pretext! Why did you secretly go back alone to take her behind my back?! Do you really think I'm a fool?"
Youying raised her head and gave Mu Shuangshuang a deep look. There was no fear in her tone; instead, it was calm and matter-of-fact.
"Because...I don't want anything to happen to you!"
"What?" Mu Shuangshuang was taken aback.
"If the three of us leave the city together, we'll be too conspicuous. If the Sword Pavilion's formation detects us, it'll be annihilation! I'll split up and use half of my body to try and take away the Demon Vine. Even if that fails, at least... I can guarantee your safety..."
"Insolence!" Mu Shuangshuang roared in fury, unleashing a palm strike filled with rage. "Who gave you permission to act on your own? Who needs your presumptuous protection?"
Bang!
The already severely injured Youying was unable to withstand the blow and was sent flying backward by the palm strike, crashing heavily into the mountain wall. She spat out another mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground, her breath weak.
Mu Shuangshuang clenched her fists, her chest heaving violently, her eyes flashing with coldness. But looking at Youying's miserable appearance, she ultimately thought of the years of master-servant relationship and her mother's face, and did not kill him immediately.
She forced out a sentence through gritted teeth: "Shadow, you better pray that nothing happens to you this time! If anything happens to him... I will absolutely... absolutely will not let you go!"
