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

Chapter 415

Big Foot Luo sneered, “Senior Brother, you’re becoming more and more cunning.”

Cultivator Wuchen smiled but remained silent.

The two sat in the room for a while. Big Foot Luo, who had been partly leaning against the wall, suddenly opened his eyes, “Senior Brother, what if we were to gather all the devils into that world filled with devilish energy?”

Cultivator Wuchen’s heart stirred. He looked at Big Foot Luo with a smile. “According to Ziyan, as long as they live there for an extended period, they won’t be able to come out. It’s not a bad way to deal with the devils, but how do you propose to get them in? I doubt they’d agree so easily.”

Big Foot Luo’s gaze flickered slightly. “What if they were indeed that easy to persuade?”

Cultivator Wuchen’s eyes darkened, the smile at the corner of his mouth gradually fading. “Junior Brother, what are you implying?”

Big Foot Luo leaned back again, adopting a lazy posture, “Nothing much. I just suddenly thought that since the devils love devilish energy so much, wouldn’t it be good to let them live in that world? It would save us from constant conflicts. Moreover…” He suddenly smiled, “Senior Brother, what if our transformation jade pendant became widespread across all realms of cultivation? How would the devils react then? When the time comes, if we propose this idea…”

He glanced meaningfully at Cultivator Wuchen, speaking seriously, “This war has lasted for so many years. It’s not just the humans who hate it.”

A glint flashed in Cultivator Wuchen’s eyes. He did not speak further, but from his expression, it was evident that he took Big Foot Luo’s words seriously, seemingly analyzing the gains and losses.

Big Foot Luo understood that such decisions could not be made lightly. After lazily yawning, he patted his bottom and returned to his Tianluo Peak to sleep.

While Big Foot Luo and Cultivator Wuchen were deep in thoughts about the human-devil war, Xu Ziyan encountered someone familiar…

“Ziyan, long time no see!” When Xu Ziyan emerged from the teleportation array in Xiyu City, he happened to meet two acquaintances wanting to enter the teleportation array.

Well… calling them acquaintances was not entirely accurate. He was indeed familiar with one of them, but as for the other, Xu Ziyan had only seen the side of their face— Still, it was in a dim alley.

“Ziyuan, you’ve been well,” Xu Ziyan greeted with a smile, even though his face was twitching involuntarily.

The person before him, smiling idiotically, was definitely not the Mo Ziyuan he knew!!

“Hahaha, I’m well, I’m well. Not only am I well, I’ve been doing exceptionally well,” Mo Ziyuan laughed heartily, but Xu Ziyan could not help but shift his gaze to the muscular man in blue clothes standing beside him.

→.→, Heh heh, Mo Ziyuan’s current flushed and ecstatic appearance completely resembled Xu Zirong’s expression after they merged as one…

Mo Ziyuan, tall and handsome, now had an expression on his handsome face that was almost unbearable to look at. It seemed he wished he could immediately remove the clingy bandage on himself.

However, Mo Ziyuan’s skill in that aspect had already reached its maximum. No matter how hard the long-legged man tried, he could not fulfill this wish.

“Here, let me introduce you. He’s my man, Lan Qi.” Mo Ziyuan smiled as he introduced him to Xu Ziyan and Zirong.

Although Lan Qi was not pleased with Mo Ziyuan clinging to him, he politely greeted Xu Ziyan and Xu Zirong. Learning that those two were disciples of Liuguang Sect, Lan Qi’s attitude improved. After a brief conversation, Xu Ziyan learned that Lan Qi was actually Lan Mo’er’s brother…

Thinking of Mo’er, who always happily played with a green little snake, Xu Ziyan mentally lit a candle for Mo Ziyuan. If he remembered correctly, cultivators from Mo’er’s lineage specialized in poison cultivation, particularly the infamous Lover’s Poison.

As the name implied, the Lover’s Poison was naturally used between lovers. In their hearts, there was no concept of sticking together when harmonious or parting when disagreeing. Once one betrayed the other, having a hole in the stomach was considered light punishment. The poison might even cause reincarnation to be hopeless, essentially divorcing from life itself…

“Where are you two headed?” Mo Ziyuan saw that Lan Qi and Xu Ziyi were chatting cordially and felt a bit uncomfortable. He quickly seized the chance to interrupt their conversation.

Xu Ziyan paused and smiled, “Sect mission.”

Mo Ziyuan instantly understood. He meant that it was something they could not disclose.

With the human-devil war in full swing, as the next head of the Mo Yulong Pavilion, they had to undertake many tasks to transport various goods. The destination of those supplies was a secret, so Mo Ziyuan had no resentment towards Xu Ziyan’s explanation.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Mo Ziyuan bid farewell as he took Lan Qi away. Watching their figures disappear into the teleportation array, Xu Ziyan suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Fortunately, after Mo Ziyuan left Bai Hua, he found his true love, while Lin Xiaotian seemed entangled with that devilish person.

He could not say much about himself, but at least those two people did not end up lonely and old due to his interference, which made Xu Ziyan quite relieved.

As for Bai Hua… Xu Ziyan was helpless. That person kept courting death repeatedly, to the extent that even the protagonist’s halo could not protect him anymore…

“Brother, the teleportation array in Guzhan City has been destroyed. We must fly there.” Upon hearing the news from the guard at the teleportation array, Xu Zirong’s expression became somewhat heavy.

Before leaving, they had already checked the map. Between Xiyu City and Guzhan City, most areas were under the control of the devils. If not for the remaining twenty percent with connected teleportation arrays, Guzhan City might have fallen long ago.

Though Guzhan City had not yet fallen, the cultivator responsible for repairing the teleportation array had perished in battle. It would take at least half a month to fully restore the array.

They could not afford to waste time there, so they had to take the risk and fly directly to the frontlines from Xiyu City.

“Let’s go, be cautious on the way. There shouldn’t be any major problems.” Xu Ziyan analyzed, feeling that it was not too risky. With their cultivation, it would be challenging to trace their whereabouts, unless someone actively searched for them.

However, they were unaware that due to Cultivator Wuchen’s intentional disclosure, numerous devils were now lying in ambush along the routes, specifically waiting for their arrival…

To avoid being spotted by patrolling devils, Xu Ziyan and his brother had to abandon using the bulky cloud shuttle and use flying swords instead.

However—

“I’m telling you, don’t go too far…” Xu Ziyan gritted his teeth.

“Hmm? I didn’t do anything ‘too’ far…” Xu Zirong tightly hugged his brother from behind, gently nibbling his neck.

Xu Ziyan was completely speechless at his shameless words. He should not have believed this little rascal would stay obediently on his flying sword!

(The aurora: (/w╲) I didn’t see anything!)

“Hey!” Sensing that the person behind had already slipped his fingers along his collar, Xu Ziyan could not help inhaling sharply.

Hearing the anger in his brother’s tone, Xu Zirong regretfully clicked his tongue a couple of times. Just before Xu Ziyan exploded, he withdrew his hand, but it still lingered on his waist.

Xu Ziyan stared ahead expressionlessly. Compared to the chest-groping incident earlier, this action was discreet enough… To prevent the obsessed lunatic from doing anything more embarrassing, he decided to endure it!

“Brother… After the war ends, let’s explore other realms.” Xu Zirong maintained his previous intimacy and whispered in his brother’s ear.

“Sure, but I wonder when the war will end.” Xu Ziyan was interested in the suggestion, but at the same time, he thought about several realms being engulfed in war currently, especially those bordering the devils, making him feel disappointed.

The war in Xuan Yu Realm should end quickly due to the influence of the transformation jade pendant. However, other realms, especially those bordering the devils, could not end so easily. Once the devils suffered losses early on, they would surely soon figure out a method to counter the transformation jade pendants. At that time, the war would become a stalemate, continuing indefinitely.

“Do you think there’s no way to swiftly end this battle?” Xu Ziyan asked casually.

Xu Zirong pondered, “Devilish energy and spiritual energy cannot coexist, which was the root cause of this war. The devils want more resources, and so do the humans. Both sides can’t compromise, hence the war. It’s a battle between two races for survival. Unless you can resolve the coexistence issue between both sides, otherwise…”

Xu Ziyan sighed. This conflict about resources made it difficult to judge who was right or wrong. He was human, so he could only consider it from the human perspective.

“Ah! If only devilish energy and spiritual energy could coexist!” Xu Ziyan said in frustration.

Hearing his unconscious complaint, Xu Zirong suddenly brightened, “Perhaps… not coexistence, but separation could work.”

“Hmm? What do you mean?” Xu Ziyan was taken aback.

“The devilish world where the central city is located!” Xu Zirong explained. “According to the city master, that devilish world seems to be the same size as the real world. After years of exploration, they found something similar to a hidden passage in that world. Through that passage they can enter other devilish worlds, much like our cultivation realms.”

Those were things Xu Zirong had heard from those old men when they were pestering him. As an array formation expert in the central city, they always had their presence in every exploration of the devilish world.

“A mirror?” Xu Ziyan had not paid attention to such information before, but now that he had heard it, he immediately thought of this concept.

Xu Zirong pondered for a moment, smiling as he nodded, “Indeed, it’s much like a mirror. The world outside the mirror is the real world, but inside it is the devilish world. If we can relocate the devils there, perhaps that could permanently resolve this issue.”

Xu Ziyan understood Xu Zirong’s implication. By permanently, he meant that once the devils moved in and absorbed the devilish energy of that world, there would be a suction force that pulled them to that world, just like those cultivators in the central city.
