I Truly Am The Villian

Chapter 1056: Chapter 1055 Emperor Chu, Heroes List

Coming down from the second floor, Li Xiaoyuan hurriedly looked at the two and asked, “Who was looking for you?”

“A familiar person, you don’t know them,” Xia Wanqing said indifferently.

She was preoccupied during the meal.

Initially, the Heaven Martial Sect just wanted to dip into the benefits of the Secret Realm but somehow got deeply involved.

After dinner, the sky gradually darkened.

Everyone returned to their respective rooms.

Xu Zimei was resting when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

“Are you asleep?” came Xia Wanqing’s voice from outside.

“Is there something wrong?” Xu Zimei opened the door, asking in confusion.

“I can’t sleep; I want to talk to you,” Xia Wanqing said.

“About the Crown Prince?” Xu Zimei asked.

“Lots of things, I just feel restless inside,” Xia Wanqing stepped into the room and slowly sat down on a chair beside.

“All the restlessness stems from one word, weakness,” Xu Zimei said.

“One day, if you become strong, you don’t need to be invincible, but you won’t have to deal with these daily nuisances.”

“When… do you plan to leave?” Xia Wanqing asked after a pause.

“If possible, after coming out of the Nine Nights Immortal King’s Secret Realm,” Xu Zimei replied.

“Can you not leave?” Xia Wanqing asked, her head lowered, her face unclear.

“Why don’t you consider leaving the Heaven Martial Sect?” Xu Zimei asked.

“I want to revive the Heaven Martial Sect, that’s my dream,” Xia Wanqing replied.

“Right, you have your dreams, and I have mine,” Xu Zimei smiled.

“But before I go, I can help you clear some.”

“I don’t need your help, just take good care of yourself, just stay alive,” Xia Wanqing said.

She stood up and walked to the bed.

Outside the window, a full moon was shining with endless brilliance.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve enjoyed the moon,” she murmured to herself.

Xu Zimei patted her shoulder.

Xia Wanqing’s body softened and she directly fell into his arms.

He slowly placed her on the bed beside.

Then, looking outside the room, he smiled and said, “Since you’ve come, there’s no point hiding anymore.”

As soon as his words fell, a figure suddenly appeared in the room.

It seemed as though it had materialized from thin air.

“You do have some skills, my stealth technique, I reckon, is unseen by most in the Imperial City,” the dark figure spoke indifferently.

“Did the Crown Prince send you?” Xu Zimei asked.

“Failed to coax, so now you harbor murderous intentions.”

“A dead man doesn’t need to know so much,” the dark figure said as his voice fell.

His figure had already disappeared.

The next moment he reappeared, his longsword was already thrusting towards Xu Zimei from behind.

Xu Zimei directly slapped him back, and the figure was heavily flung away.

Before the dark figure landed, he stretched out a hand and directly pulled the dark figure back in front of him.

One hand clenched around his neck.

“I really don’t want to kill an ant, but you always come crawling in front of me.”

Xu Zimei looked at him.

The figure was tightly wrapped, only the eyes revealing the sheer terror within.

“My lord, I…….”

Before he could finish speaking, a burst of nameless fire ignited and burnt him to ashes.

………….

A silent night,

When Xia Wanqing slowly opened her eyes, she found herself in Xu Zimei’s bed.

She quickly checked her body.

“Rest assured, I didn’t do anything to you,” Xu Zimei entered the room saying.

“Last night when you were tired, I didn’t disturb you.

I went to sleep in your room.”

“I’m sorry,” Xia Wanqing’s face slightly flushed, and she quickly got out of bed.

“The Sixth Elder is still outside waiting to eat, and the Second Prince has arrived. Today, we are heading to the Secret Realm,” Xu Zimei said.

“You should quickly get ready and wash up.”

“I understand,” Xia Wanqing nodded.

After the two had prepared, the Second Prince and his entourage had already been waiting outside for some time.

“Ladies and gentlemen, there might be some changes in plans,” Chen Luo said as he looked at Xia Wanqing coming downstairs.

“What happened?” Xia Wanqing asked, slightly frowning.

“Originally, the Emperor had put me in charge of this Secret Realm, but after I returned to the palace yesterday, it seemed that the Emperor places great importance on this Secret Realm journey.”

Chen Luo continued, “I’m not sure of the specific reason, but he plans to come to the Secret Realm himself.”

“What does the Second Prince mean?” Xia Wanqing asked.

“It was originally me who would lead you, but now, you will have to follow the main troop,” Chen Luo said.

“I am here to warn you that when you are with the Emperor, do not speak. Just follow and respond to the situation as necessary.”

“Emperor Chu?” Xia Wanqing inquired.

“Yes, my father is currently gathering troops at the North City Gate, so let’s set off now,” Chen Luo said.

Xia Wanqing nodded slightly.

At this point, she no longer wanted to go to the Secret Realm.

But with the Second Prince personally notifying, it was difficult for her to refuse.

…

The group was ready and headed towards the North City Gate of the Imperial City.

Upon reaching the North City Gate, many people had already gathered there.

Including the Crown Prince.

When he saw Xu Zimei and the others, the Crown Prince was slightly surprised, then fell into deep thought.

Looking up, Xu Zimei saw the man seated in the elevated imperial throne, likely Emperor Chu.

He had a square face and an imposing aura without anger.

He possessed the aura of a born leader.

Many people involuntarily bowed their heads when they looked at him.

He was the supreme ruler, as well as the ruler of the Galaxy Empire.

He stared straight ahead, his eyebrows tightly furrowed, deep in thought.

On either side of Emperor Chu, there was an elder.

One of them was Jade Cauldron True Man.

The other was an old woman whom Xu Zimei did not recognize.

He also saw Yu Huashang and several other princes.

“This probably isn’t just a simple exploration of the Secret Realm,” Xu Zimei commented with a smile.

“You saw it too, Brother Xu,” Chen Luo didn’t hide it.

He said, “This time, Qianniu Taoist Court is involved.”

Typically, only a Sect Gate that had produced a Great Emperor or an even stronger entity could be called a Taoist Court.

The Heaven Martial Sect used to be a Taoist Court.

However, after the destruction of the Mufu Mountain’s source of Tao, they gradually declined to a small sect as they are now.

“The specifics I cannot say; you will learn once we are there.”

The formation at the city gate seemed to be waiting for something, naturally attracting the attention of the city’s populace.

After a short wait, a young man in white came out from the city.

This young man carried himself gracefully and had a Longsword on his back.

He had the look of a swordsman with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes.

“Isn’t that the seventh-ranked ruthless swordsman Sikong Ji from the valor list?”

The appearance of this young man immediately caused a major stir at the city gate.

Following behind him was another robust young man carrying a hammer and dressed in steel clothing.

“That’s Wu Dao, ranked third on the valor list.”
