After becoming a villain, the heroine overheard my thoughts

Fairy Lingmiao looked in the direction of Xu Ziang's finger, and indeed found an inconspicuous circle of light in the center of the depression.

If you don't look carefully, you might think it's the mark left by the sun.

But looking at the entire sea of ​​​​sky, the sky is completely covered with thick black fog. Where does the sunlight come from?

Just from this point, you can see the problem.

Fairy Ling Miao made a prompt decision and said, "You two should follow closely behind me, and I will go and explore the true and false nature of this barrier."

As she spoke, she had already walked straight towards the circle of light in the center of the depression.

Seeing this, He Yuan first glanced sideways at Xu Ziang.

But he didn't know whether this guy concealed it too well, or he really just happened to discover this barrier. At this moment, he could not see any trace of conspiracy on Xu Ziang's face.

However, seeing that the graceful figure of Fairy Lingmiao had already walked some distance forward, He Yuan simply stopped thinking about it and hurriedly caught up.

After all, even if Xu Ziang really intended to use that barrier to do something.

With me following Fairy Lingmiao closely, I'm sure he wouldn't do anything too blatant.

What's more, the two times Xu Ziang approached Senior Sister Nine and Senior Sister Thirteen for dual cultivation, He Yuan had interfered. It's likely that this guy has already developed a psychological trauma about He Yuan regarding such matters.

Naturally, he wouldn't want He Yuan to interfere in his third dual cultivation experience.

Thinking of this, He Yuan had already followed Fairy Lingmiao to the center of this funnel-shaped low-lying area.

He Yuan didn't feel anything just now when he was above the depression. But when he reached the lowest point, he suddenly realized that the center of the funnel actually had a diameter of two or three meters.

In other words, the inconspicuous aperture they had just seen, which was only the size of a palm, was actually nearly the size of a millstone.

Fairy Ling Miao carefully observed the light circle for a few breaths before she spoke: "This is a corpse burial barrier. As the name suggests, the corpse is buried below and a secret technique is used to seal the corpse's aura to prevent future tomb robbers from stealing the corpse."

"This kind of corpse burial barrier usually has a time limit. Obviously, this barrier has been in place for thousands of years, and it has begun to loosen, which is why these strange phenomena have appeared."

"I guess the dragon aura that your Senior Brother Xu sensed at the beginning was emitted from this corpse burial barrier..."

At this point, Fairy Lingmiao seemed to have just remembered Xu Ziang's existence. She subconsciously turned her head to the side, and suddenly, a trace of doubt appeared on her pretty face. She said, "Hey, where is your Senior Brother Xu?"

Ok?

He Yuan quickly turned his head and looked around. Sure enough, there was no trace of Xu Ziang around him.

"Oops!"

He Yuan's face suddenly changed, and he thought to himself: "I still couldn't prevent it despite all my precautions. Xu Lucha must be planning some shady trick to plot against us!"

His face darkened as he said, "He was following behind the disciple just now."

It’s just strange that the central depression of this island is so small, where would that guy be hiding?

The strangest thing was that he was able to evade the detection of the spiritual sense of the Lingmiao Fairy in the Jindan period and disappeared in front of the two of them without anyone noticing.

Looking at Fairy Lingmiao again, her expression was equally ugly.

Originally, when she heard He Yuan's thoughts and learned that Xu Ziang was planning to plot against her on this island, she had been secretly guarding against this disciple she had recruited.

But he still took advantage of the loophole.

This Xu Ziang actually took advantage of the fact that most of his attention was focused on the corpse burial barrier in front of him and secretly hid himself.

As for what this guy wants to do by hiding, there is no need to say more, he must be planning to plot against the two of them!

Thinking of this, Fairy Lingmiao looked at the burial barrier again and immediately became more alert. She said, "The collapse of this barrier is a bit strange. If it has existed for too long and its spiritual energy has been gradually consumed and collapsed, it shouldn't have been noticed by the surrounding big monsters, right?"

"And if it only began to show signs of collapse when we arrived, it would be a bit too coincidental..."

At this time, He Yuan suddenly said, "Could it be that someone tampered with this corpse burial barrier in advance, and calculated that we would come to this island during this period of time to investigate the dragon clan's aura, so they chose to make it collapse recently?"

Hearing this, Fairy Lingmiao looked at him deeply and said, "You mean... all this was done by your Senior Brother Xu? He started planning all this after he learned that there was a dragon's aura on this island?"

After she finished speaking, a hint of fear that she couldn't conceal emerged in her eyes.

If it is really as she guessed.

In other words, Xu Ziang had already started planning all this before he became her disciple.

How can one not be frightened by such scheming?

"call!"

Fairy Ling Miao let out a long breath, barely suppressing the excitement in her heart, and said, "But there is one thing that I don't understand. Controlling the time point of a barrier's collapse is something that even a Jindan-stage cultivator like me cannot do. How did Xu Ziang, who was just a low-level cultivator in the Bigu stage, achieve this?"

That’s because he has the aura of the protagonist!

He Yuan thought to himself.

Of course, he could never say this.

And it wasn't just Fairy Lingmiao, even he had some doubts.

After all, even if Xu Ziang has the aura of the protagonist, he cannot break the shackles of the world's cultivation system. He can rely on his cultivation in the Bigu period to accomplish things that even the Jindan period masters cannot accomplish.

unless……

Suddenly, He Yuanfu came to his mind and thought of a possibility in an instant.

Could it be that Xu Ziang, like him, also has the soul of an ancient powerful being hidden in his body?

Only in this way can it be explained why Xu Ziang, who was obviously just a low-level cultivator, was able to cross the sea and escape to the Wanxian Sect while being hunted down by his enemies.

It also explains why Xu Ziang possesses the key to the Ten Thousand Poison Cave in the Demon Valley.

Finally, right now, why was Xu Ziang able to control the time when the corpse burial barrier collapsed, so that Fairy Ling Miao could come and fall into the trap...

Thinking of this, He Yuan suddenly became unusually serious and said, "Master, Xu Ziang carefully planned all of this. I'm afraid that there will be unprecedented dangers under this barrier, so I advise you to leave here quickly."

After hearing what He Yuan said, Fairy Lingmiao suddenly turned her head, glanced at him deeply, and said, "From the smell of the corpse coming from the barrier, I can conclude that what is buried below is the skeleton of a giant dragon. Even so, you still want to persuade me to leave?"
