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

Chapter 387

Due to that reason, the male and female cultivators had a disdainful attitude towards that unfortunate cultivator throughout the journey, looking down on him, which made him frustrated. If it were only him and the male and female cultivators, he would have killed them long ago. But with the presence of the two sea snake clan cultivators, he had to endure it silently.

Unexpectedly, the two sea snake clan cultivators also interested in the treasures held by the male and female cultivators. They took the initiative to approach him, and they immediately formed an alliance to rob them.

Both sides launched a surprise attack on the male and female cultivators. Originally, because he was alone, they left the female cultivator to him. However, to his surprise, the female cultivator had a fierce temperament and played the self-detonation card before dying, severely injuring him when he was caught off guard.

The cultivator, named Haiyan, was no fool either. If those two sea snake clan cultivators could target the male and female cultivators, they could do the same to him. If he were in good condition, they might still show some restraint. However, now that he was barely alive, he found it hard to believe that they would not finish him off as well, if given the chance!

Indeed, if the situation were reversed and he was in the same circumstances, he would definitely take action. Therefore, his first reaction after being injured was not to join forces with the two cultivators but to find a corner to hide.

Of course, the idea of hiding in the woods was commendable, but unfortunately—— he failed to realize that the tree he used to hide his figure was actually grown by Xu Zirong.

There were numerous trees around that even Xu Zirong could not control as effortlessly as he did with the blood vines. However, he could use them as his eyes to monitor everything inside.

The actions of the cultivator were as if he was hiding under Xu Zirong’s clothes. He might have thought it was clever, but in Xu Zirong’s eyes, he appeared to be as ridiculous as a clown.

Haiyan was gasping heavily, vigilantly guarding his surroundings, while swallowing healing pills one after another.

As a cultivator accustomed to a life of robbery and pillaging, he always carried a plentiful supply of healing pills. However, the timing of the female cultivator’s self-detonation caught him completely off guard. He never expected her to make such a decision before being pushed to the brink.

In theory, cultivators cherished their lives greatly. Unless there was no chance of survival, no one would choose to self-detonate.

“Damn it, what a curse! That girl’s too impulsive,” Haiyan muttered, skillfully taking out a piece of gauze and bandaging his wounds.

He leaned against a robust and sturdy tree. Those trees that were summoned were ordinary species, with no other purpose apart from their abundance in quantity.

That was the reason why Haiyan could heal his wounds there with peace of mind. He was familiar with all the tree species in the surrounding area. If there were any unfamiliar plants in that region, he would have long kept his distance.

Being cautious and careful had always been the basic principle for survival for a lone cultivator like him. In fact, if he had not encountered enemies that he could not resist on a certain continent before, he would not have wanted to team up with anyone at all.

“Damn it!” Haiyan momentarily paused his action of bandaging the other wound on his hand. He cursed under his breath, as he gradually disappeared into the air.

Not long after, Xu Ziyan slowly emerged from the forest, showing a slightly puzzled expression on his face after careful investigation.

He gently touched his chest, and the voice of Xu Zirong came through the blood contract: “Be careful, Brother. He hasn’t moved far from his original position, but the spiritual awareness of these trees is limited. I can’t pinpoint his exact location.”

Xu Ziyan smiled faintly and spoke in a low voice, “Then let’s see what I can do.”

Before he finished speaking, he leaped into the air, brought out his longbow from behind him, and suddenly shouted, “Little Greenie!”

Countless streaks of purple light shot out from the longbow, instantly enveloping a large area around him.

“You scoundrel!” Haiyan yelled, as a blurry figure dropped from the treetops. He had been struck by several purple night divine thunder. Despite the attack being a ranged one with not particularly strong power against the core, it was more than enough to further burden a cultivator who was already heavily injured. Those few strikes were more than he could handle at the moment.

Haiyan realized the situation was dire for him and quickly fled, shouting as he ran, “I have nothing against you, why do you want to exterminate me? Those two damn Sea snake clan cultivators are your enemies, right? Although I joined forces with them to chase down the male and female cultivators, it was only a temporary alliance. I don’t wish to be your enemy!”

He was not deaf, so he naturally heard Flower Tail’s shout before. It was obvious that those people were the enemies of the two sea snake clan cultivators, but they seemed to have a sort of relationship with them.

If his physical condition was good, he would not mind lending a small helping hand. After all, among the three individuals, aside from Tianle who showed some potential, the other two were too young and easily mistaken for nascent soul cultivators who relied solely on pills.

The East Sea was rich in resources, so it was not uncommon to find some second-generation immortals who monopolized a large number of resources based on their prestigious family background.

However, cultivators of their kind, who appeared to be ‘nascent soul cultivators’ could only compare themselves to late-stage foundation establishment cultivators at most. In ordinary circumstances, they could not contribute much and were merely for show.

Haiyan regarded Xu Ziyan and Xu Zirong as such showy individuals. He thought that the male and female cultivators from before were more like their kind.

Haiyan’s words were well-spoken. Even during his escape, he continued to embarrass the sea snake clan, seemingly hoping that Xu Ziyan would let him go and turn to kill the two sea snakes instead. manhua

He had a beautiful plan, but Xu Ziyan would not fall for it.

Naturally, Xu Ziyan wanted to kill the two sea snakes. After all, he had already killed their young master. He could not leave them be and risk more sea snakes coming after him.

However, he had no intention of letting the cultivator, who conspired with the two sea snakes, go either.

After experiencing so many years of cultivation life, Xu Ziyan was no longer the law-abiding citizen he used to be. If he lived like he did in the past, it would be suicidal in the current world.

For example, like present, perhaps as that person said, he had nothing against them, neither deep hatred, nor grievances. However, in that environment, Xu Ziyan absolutely could not risk letting him go too far.

Leaving aside other concerns, what if they ended up in a situation where they were both injured later, and that person backstabbed them instead?

He did not believe that guy to be genuinely kind-hearted and flee from them, deciding to not become their enemy. Otherwise, he should have fled as quickly as possible just now, instead of lurking in the woods.

“Why are young people nowadays so impulsive,” Haiyan looked at Xu Ziyan, who was still chasing closely behind him. He was so furious that his teeth were almost grinding to pieces. He really wanted to shout at him: Stop chasing me! I really pose no threat to you!

However, no matter how he tried persuading him, the seemingly handsome young man continued to chase after him, occasionally releasing purple arrows that almost cost him his life.

When he was attacked by the purple arrow for the first time, he was fortunate that his combat instincts saved him. At that time, he even thought about withstanding a blow and seizing the opportunity to kill that cultivator. He possessed a high-defense ancient bronze bell artifact. Although it was not his life-bound artifact, it should have been able to withstand the cultivator’s attack.

However, just as the purple arrows were about to collide with the protective shield formed by the bronze bell, he suddenly sensed a looming danger.

He had crisis awareness honed through countless battles, which was never wrong.

Without further hesitation, he abandoned control of the ancient bronze bell, rolled to the side, and saw the purple arrows lightly collide with the protective shield of the bronze bell, shattering it into two halves. However, the arrows themselves remained strong, shooting straight towards his previous position.

Haiyan’s cold sweat broke out in an instant. The ancient bronze bell was considered a relatively good defensive magic artifact, but he did not expect that it could not withstand a single blow from those purple arrows.

If he had not dodged and attempted to counterattack instead, he would probably be pinned down to the ground by now.

After that incident, Haiyan became even more unwilling to confront Xu Ziyan. He continuously used his concealment techniques to navigate through the forest.

He had a sort of suffering that he could not share. He was not reluctant to leave the forest because he did not want to. He feared that he might not have a chance to dodge, because once he left the cover of the trees, there would be no obstruction for the purple arrows.

“Little Eight!”

Xu Ziyan did not expect the heavily injured cultivator to still be able to run so far either. He became increasingly cautious. Indeed, none of those nascent soul cultivators were easy to deal with. Even though they were already half-crippled, they managed to narrowly evade his attacks several times.

Now, looking back, the battles he had experienced in the past did not seem so difficult. Even the perception gained from life and death crises were far surpassed by the combat experience obtained from pursuing a half-crippled nascent soul cultivator.

Unknowingly, Xu Ziyan took the process of chasing down the cultivator as a training for himself. His divine thunder arrows were the best among nascent soul cultivators in terms of attack speed and power. Even his master, Daoist Luo Yun, would never dare to directly challenge his attacks.

However, he was well aware that if he were to fight Daoist Luo Yun to death, he would definitely be the one to die. Not only because Daoist Luo Yun had a higher cultivation level, but more importantly, his combat experience far surpassed his.

To put it bluntly, even if Daoist Luo Yun suppressed his cultivation to the golden core stage, unless Xu Ziyan killed him with a lucky move, the one who would die would undoubtedly be himself.

The unknown cultivator from the East Sea was no less experienced in battle than Daoist Luo Yun. That made Xu Ziyan who had been slightly underestimating the enemy before, immediately take it seriously.

Originally, he intended to use Little Eight as an ace to ambush the two sea snake clan members, but now he had to expose Little Eight to deal with that unknown cultivator.

As soon as Little Eight took action, Xu Ziyan’s attack immediately multiplied.

The attack range formed by the nine arrows made it impossible for the unknown cultivator to escape. Even though the shadow · spiritual thunder arrows created by Little Eight was slightly inferior than the true arrows condensed by Purple Night Divine Thunder, the difference was insignificant.
