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

Chapter 413

After leaving the refining hall, Xu Ziyan immediately returned to Tianluo Peak.

During those three days, Big Foot Luo informed Cultivator Wuchen about the matter with the jade pendant. Acting as the leader of the cultivators’ alliance, Cultivator Wuchen issued an order for all refining masters to concentrate on crafting a special magical artifact.

Needless to say, that particular special artifact was none other than the jade pendant that could transform devilish energy into spiritual energy. After several verifications confirming its effectiveness in any location, Cultivator Wuchen moved his brush, halting all the lower-tier refining masters from their ongoing tasks, redirecting their efforts towards mass production of those jade pendants

The refining method for making those jade pendants was public knowledge, and skill requirements were not high. With everyone’s collective efforts, an astonishing quantity of the transformation jade pendants was swiftly crafted.

After the pendants were made, Cultivator Wuchen secretly hoarded them. Currently, the function of those pendants was not made public. He planned to accumulate a sufficient quantity and quietly send them to the frontlines to cause the devils a significant loss.

Seven days passed. Several nascent soul cultivators from Liuguang Sect vanished without a trace from their respective caves. Simultaneously disappearing was a long-concealed treasure of Liuguang Sect and several talismans capable of masking nascent soul cultivators’ divine consciousness.

Apart from several high-ranking members of the two sects, nobody knew the whereabouts of those individuals. Moreover, besides the sect leaders of the two sects, others only knew that their sect’s elders had gone out for some tasks, unaware of their destinations or the nature of those tasks.

Xu Ziyan was not part of Liuguang Sect’s higher-ups and had no interest in wielding power. Compared to Lin Xiaotian, who now controlled almost half of Tianyu Sect, his actions were nothing like those of a novel’s protagonist. His laziness was to the point that it was infuriating…

(The Heavens: ╮(╯_╰)╭ I’m already used to it.)

However, being out of the high-ranking circle had its benefits. Xu Ziyan, a rule-abiding second-generation disciple, always proactively reported to his master about any matter. Therefore, this time, he only took on the simple task of transporting goods to the frontlines.

In Liuguang Sect, there were many nascent soul cultivators, but those who possessed their own space were only Xu Ziyan and two other senior nascent soul cultivators.

The other two senior nascent soul cultivators were currently stationed outside, guarding two strategically important cities, so they could not leave their positions temporarily. Hence, Xu Ziyan had to undertake the task.

When Xu Ziyan received the large number of transformation pendants hoarded by the sect leader, he was slightly astonished by its massive quantity.

Though he knew Liuguang Sect had strong foundations, he had never expected it to be this powerful. f reewe bnovel

The method for crafting those pendants was simplified by the central city’s cultivators. However, even so, some of the materials used were relatively expensive. Although those materials were still available in the market, they were far from meeting the quantity needed by Liuguang Sect. Undoubtedly, the materials used to craft those pendants all came from Liuguang Sect’s collection.

Presently, both humans and devils were deadlocked on the frontlines. Although the newly emerged blood-sucking worms also attacked humans, reports from various sources indicated that they were not entirely aligned with the devils.

Under such circumstances, the devils naturally could not trust blood-sucking worms in direct frontal attacks. After all, what they feared most on the battlefield was a stab in the back. Even if the devils were powerful, they could not afford such losses. Therefore, all blood sucking worms were dispatched elsewhere.

In the battlefield where the devils were their primary target, it was naturally the perfect place for the transformation jade pendants to take effect. Moreover, those jade pendants had been modified by the refining masters of Liuguang Sect. Apart from absorbing devilish energy and transforming it into spiritual energy, the jade pendant even gained the function of enhancing their spells.

Xu Ziyan admired those refining masters of Liuguang Sect wholeheartedly. They were truly changing the world with their expertise! Those jade pendants had undergone years of development in the central city, and almost every function had been developed to the extreme. He did not expect that in the real world, within just half a month, these tech enthusiasts had developed new functions for them!

As Xu Ziyan kept stuffing box after box of transformation jade pendants into his space, Big Foot Luo could not help being astonished. Truly, now that he knew, it was startling to him/ Hadn’t his disciple achieved the nascent soul stage not long ago? How could he possess such a huge space?

Cultivator Wuchen stood quietly nearby, wearing a kind and serene smile on his face. But—

Big Foot Luo glanced at him silently, feeling that his senior brother’s calm demeanor was just like when he was scheming in the past… →.→

(Lighting a whole row of candles for his disciple…)

“Alright. Master, Sect Leader, I’m ready to go.” After checking all the supplies, Xu Ziyan bid Big Foot Luo and Cultivator Wuchen farewell.

Cultivator Wuchen kindly said, “Ziyan, take care on your journey. Although I’ve tried to seal the information, but…” His eyes flashed with seriousness, “there are always some people we can’t guard against. I can only guarantee that the devils won’t know the significance of this batch of supplies, but if they analyze various clues in detail, they might guess that this batch of supplies is crucial.”

He looked at Xu Ziyan, who remained calm, and secretly praised him. Firm and resilient, to hear such news and remain undisturbed, he was indeed a good seedling.

Thinking about how Tang Tianlang had bragged to Big Foot Luo about his excellent disciple a few days ago, he could not help sneering. Even if Lin Xiaotian was outstanding, he was only at the golden core stage, while his nephew had already reached the intermediate stage of nascent soul! He could turn the tables in a flash!

In the cultivation world, the one with the bigger fist always had the advantage. Back then, when they suppressed Tianyu Sect’s old fellows, it was nothing more than saying: Having a disagreement? Let’s fight!

Even now, he could still confidently shout at Tang Tianlang, “Disagree? Let’s fight!”

Among the second-generation disciples, he did not believe anyone could surpass his nephew!!

—Or rather, his two nephews!

The gentle gaze from Cultivator Wuchen made Xu Ziyan feel his scalp tingle. He quietly tugged at his master’s sleeve, and then—his master turned his face away.

Xu Ziyan: …

Goodness, Master, what’s the meaning of avoiding eye contact? It’s making me quite uneasy!

“You two brothers, go and return quickly,” Cultivator Wuchen looked pleased as he observed the Xu brothers. “When you return, it’s time for you to officially participate in the operations of Liuguang Sect. You are nascent soul cultivators after all. Some used your youth as an excuse before, but look at the army you’ve trained to eradicate devils. I doubt anyone would dare bring up the age factor now.”

Xu Ziyan looked terrified. Hold on, what’s happening? What happened to the carefree days? Why are you suddenly involving me in Liuguang Sect’s operations? I really don’t have any grand ambitions to dominate the Xuanyu Realm! Isn’t this something that should be left to domineering individuals like Lin Xiaotian!!

Mistaking Xu Ziyan’s expression for delight, Cultivator Wuchen smiled warmly and patted Xu Ziyan’s shoulder. “It’s time to show those folks from the Tianyu Sect that our second-generation disciples from Liuguang Sect are no pushovers! Hmph, that Lin Xiaotian kid is indeed good, but you and Zirong can definitely surpass him in terms of strength!”

Xu Ziyan felt like kneeling before Cultivator Wuchen. How did he, an insignificant person, suddenly become the center of attention? He always kept a low profile, never doing anything out of line.

Xu Zirong gently tugged at his brother’s sleeve and sent a message through the blood contract: Army of slaying devils.

Xu Ziyan was speechless. He truly did not expect the devil-slaying army to achieve such remarkable results! Initially, he only wanted to protect the Xu family, but unexpectedly, those cultivators were so efficient that they surprised everyone in the Xuanyu Realm.

Before Xu Ziyan could make any explanation, Cultivator Wuchen had already come to a conclusion with a smile. “You both are excellent! I have high hopes for you two!” With that said, he floated away, leaving Xu Ziyan alone, standing there in disarray amidst the wind…

With the weight on his shoulders, Xu Ziyan wore a troubled expression as he stepped into the teleportation array. Grand Patriarch Qingping, the caretaker of the teleportation array, even looked at him in surprise. What happened to this child? Why does he seem so dejected while on a sect mission?

“Brother, don’t you like having power?” Xu Zirong asked softly.

To lie on a beauty’s lap, ruling the world. How many men dreamt of such a thing? Although his brother had always shown disinterest in such matters, feeling distressed after actively receiving it was truly surprising.

“Not really interested,” Xu Ziyan said listlessly.

Xu Ziyan genuinely had no interest in power and influence. He did not lack the capability to do so, but rather, he was too lazy to invest that effort.

For him, constant scheming against the sly old foxes and cunning little foxes in the business world before his transmigration was quite agitating. However, in the real world, if one wanted to live well, it was a necessary price to pay, so he could only endure it.

However, after transmigrating, things were different. In that world, the strong reigned supreme. Undoubtedly, as a current nascent soul cultivator, even if he closed his eyes, he could live comfortably for thousands of years. Why should he bother vying for things he never needed?

It was precisely for those reasons that Xu Ziyan had no desire to get involved in the power struggles of the higher-ups. Even if Liuguang Sect was united, it had a collective of people after all. Where there were people, there was bound to be conflict. Currently, due to the presence of the devils as an external enemy, internal issues were being suppressed. Yet once the devils were dealt with, Liuguang Sect’s internal problems would resurface.

He did not want to get involved in such matters at all. Hence, the current problem was— How could he dispel Cultivator Wuchen’s thoughts about this?

While Xu Ziyan was pondering over it, unsure how to broach the topic, his good Master, Big Foot Luo, silently resolved the issue for him.

“Have you really thought this through?” Cultivator Wuchen looked at Big Foot Luo, his expression grim, “You should know that if you do this, Ziryan and Zirong won’t have the chance to become sect leaders in the future…”
