I’ve Led the Villain Astray, How Do I Fix It?

Chapter 408

Xu Zirong also saw the result. His eyebrows slightly raised, and the two exchanged glances. After a brief eye contact, they immediately released the cloud shuttle.

Activating the cloud shuttle at its maximum power, the two of them could be said to be fleeing in a sorry state at the moment. They had no choice but to escape. The mark left on his body by the sea snake clan’s young master was a huge provocation for the clan. If they stayed too far away, it might be excusable if they could not catch up.

However, if they wandered near the city of others, it was undoubtedly a blatant provocation—— even if it was unintentional.

Sure enough, not long after the cloud shuttle flew away, a large number of sea snake clan cultivators surged up from the sea floor. Each of them was fierce and aggressive, brandishing their weapons and clamoring to kill the person with the mark. However, Xu Ziyan and the others acted swiftly. When the group of people arrived, they could only vaguely sense the direction in which the cloud shuttle had fled, but its specific location was untraceable.

“Hmph! They’re lucky to escape so quickly,” said the leading middle-aged cultivator with closed eyes, his face gloomy.

Beside him, a thin cultivator, as thin as a bamboo pole, cast a meaningful glance at the middle-aged cultivator, who had closed eyes, and chuckled, “Hehe… So what if they didn’t run fast enough? Given the current situation, aren’t you aware that challenging the entire eastern sea clan is a huge risk of great dangers? Unless you dare to do so.”

“You! …” the middle-aged cultivator’s face flashed with anger. He resentfully led the other cultivators back to the underwater city.

The thin cultivator like a bamboo pole sneered, took a distant look at the direction where the cloud shuttle disappeared, then turned and followed suit.

After flying with the cloud shuttle for about a week, Xu Ziyan and the others finally arrived at a human city. After paying the spiritual stones at the city gate, the two hurriedly navigated through the streets, wanting to return to the Liuguang Sect as soon as possible via the teleportation array.

The pedestrians on the street were scattered, and each of them had a hurried look.

On their way to the teleportation array, Xu Ziyan and Xu Zirong noticed the strange looks from the people around and could not help wondering.

Although they had never been to that city before, they knew that the coastal cities were usually bustling with commercial activities. Merchants used to come and go endlessly, and it should not be as desolate as now.

If it were not for occasional pedestrians on the street, it could almost rival that ghost town in the central city.

“What’s going on?” Xu Ziyan could not help but be puzzled.

Xu Zirong glanced around, “Let’s ask someone.” He then stopped an anxious-looking young cultivator.

“Fellow cultivator,” Xu Zirong smiled gently as he spoke.

The cultivator, who was walking with his head down, had an anxious expression. When he realized someone was blocking his way, he became even more impatient. However, when he raised his head and saw Xu Zirong’s face, he suddenly froze.

Xu Zirong smiled slightly, and before the cultivator could speak, he suddenly blushed, stammering and unable to say a word. Then, he turned and ran away in embarrassment…

Xu Zirong, with a smile on his face: …

Xu Ziyan quietly turned his face away, his shoulders could not stop shaking. He swore he was not laughing too much, but he just…could not help it!!!

“Brother… is it really that funny…” Xu Zirong’s voice sounded softly in his ears.

“Not at all!” Xu Ziyan immediately turned his face and answered seriously.

Xu Zirong looked at him with grievances. Xu Ziyan, afraid of being swayed by his beauty, quickly grabbed a passerby and released his aura as a nascent soul cultivator. The man was immediately scared out of his wits…

“Senior, spare me!! I have an elderly mother who’s eighty years old, and young children waiting to be fed. Please, spare my life, senior! I promise to repay your kindness in any way I can!”

Without a word, Xu Ziyan stared at the cultivator, who was kneeling on the ground in tears and snot.

Xu Ziyan, Xu Zirong: …

Xu Ziyan rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache, “Alright, get up. I don’t intend to harm you.”

“Really?” The cultivator quickly raised his head, looked at Xu Ziyan and Xu Zirong for a moment, and cautiously asked, “I don’t think I’ve ever sold anything to seniors, have I?”

Xu Ziyan was speechless. It turned out that guy thought he was being approached by someone he had deceived before, which was why he acted so pitiful.

Xu Zirong glanced at him lightly, and the cultivator instantly broke into a cold sweat, “Certainly not! With your distinguished appearances, if I had ever met you, I’d surely remember! I’ll never forget!”

“You have quite a good memory,” Xu Zirong said coldly.

The cultivator dared not say a word, just quietly glancing at Xu Ziyan. Based on his instinct to seek fortune and avoid disasters, that beautiful cultivator must be a big devil within. He must never offend such a person, or he would definitely not know how he died… Ahem ahem, well, he would definitely know how he died, and it would undoubtedly be extremely miserable.

Although the cultivator knew that those two people were not his creditors, he did not dare to get up from the ground so easily. They were cultivators at the nascent soul stage, and with his Qi condensation stage of cultivation, he was probably no different from an ant in their eyes.

People would not casually slaughter ants, but if ants accidentally irritated them, they probably would not mind giving them a little kick.

He was currently that ant, so he had already decided that apart from selling himself, he would fulfill any request from those two seniors——

Eventually——

“Are seniors just curious about why this city is so desolate?” Zhang Yu’s eye twitched as he repeated the question.

“Yes, is there a problem?” Xu Zirong gave him a cold glance. Zhang Yu suddenly shivered, “No problem! Of course not!”

He could not help but secretly mock himself: I thought it was something important. These two almost scared me to death.

At that moment, they were sitting face to face in a private room of a teahouse. Xu Ziyan and Zhang Yu sat on opposite sides of a table, while Xu Zirong sat by the window, one hand propping up his chin, seemingly gazing at the scenery outside. novelbuddy. com

“Do the two seniors perhaps not know the recent situation in the war?” Zhang Yu thought for a moment and decided to first ask if they knew about the ongoing human-devil war. If they had not known about it, he would provide more details. If they did, he would simply give a brief overview of recent situations.

“The recent situation?” Xu Ziyan raised an eyebrow, “We were in seclusion for three months and don’t know much about recent events.” As he spoke, he took out a high-grade spiritual stone and tapped it onto the table.

Zhang Yu’s eyes widened suddenly, and his breathing became heavy. He stared awkwardly at the spiritual stone, while speaking, “Seniors are too kind. How can I let seniors incur expenses for a little information…”

Smack!

Another spiritual stone.

Zhang Yu’s eyes were completely fixed on them now.

Xu Ziyan smiled, “As long as your information is accurate and reliable, these are all yours.”

“In that case, I won’t hold back then.” Zhang Yu quickly reached out and swiftly stashed the two spiritual stones into his spatial pouch.

It was not until the two spiritual stones landed in his pocket that Zhang Yu finally heaved a sigh of relief. A flattering smile appeared on his face, “I wonder what the two seniors would like to know? I guarantee to tell you everything I know!”

“Then, tell us about the recent situation in the human-devil war,” Xu Ziyan said as he knocked on the table.

Zhang Yu immediately spilled out the recent events like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

From his mouth, Xu Ziyan learned about what had happened in the past three months.

They had initially thought that the standoff between humans and devils had ended over two months ago.

In other words, half a month after they entered the world of fragmented continents, the once stagnant human-devil war erupted into intense battles once again.

The cause of the new battle was the involvement of a third party!

Speaking of the third party, Xu Ziyan was also familiar with them. They were the once hidden clan of blood-sucking worms!

After the mother worm absorbed the earth rock dragon worm, that particular branch of the blood-sucking clan underwent an extraordinary evolution. It was unknown who deliberately guided the mother worm, but she ended up breeding several types of bugs that deliberately coordinated with each other.

The six-winged flying bug, giant-eyed bugs… Those were all new types of insects that Xu Ziyan had seen before. After completely hiding themselves away, the mother worm even evolved a type of spider-like creature.

Those creatures could parasitize on the backs of cultivators, controlling their bodies by inserting eight pincers into the cultivator’s spine and muscles.

Cultivators controlled by the spider-like creatures truly lived in a state of torment and wished for death, yet were unable to die. When they were alive, they had to watch helplessly as their bodies, under the control of the creatures, swung their weapons at their comrades. Even after they died, those spider creatures could still manipulate their corpses. However, without the cultivator’s ability to absorb spiritual energy, those bodies could not cast spells and were only fit to be used as meat shields.

Due to the involvement of the new forces of the blood-sucking clan, the human frontlines kept retreating. Now, over two-thirds of Xuanyu Realm had fallen into the hands of the devils. If it were not for the formidable protective formations of the two prominent sects of the Xuanyu Realm, Liuguang sect and Tianyu sect, it was likely that those two landmark sects of the Xuanyu Realm would have been destroyed.

If the two sects were destroyed, the entire Xuanyu Realm would lose its confidence to resist the devils. Therefore, those two sects united with other sects within the Xuanyu Realm and fought desperately, forcibly defending the two major sects that were surrounded by the devils.

Unfortunately, the strength of human cultivators could only hold out until now. It was because the third-party force seemed to have some conflict with the devils, which has led both sides to be somewhat wary of each other. They had coincidentally slowed down their attacks, giving the humans a moment to catch their breath.

“Is the situation really this dire now?” Xu Ziyan furrowed his brow, deeply concerned about Big Foot Luo’s safety.
