I Truly Am The Villian

Xu Zimei was reclining on a sun lounger in the courtyard of Goose Southern Peak, basking in the sun.

The liveliness of the outside world seemed like a different universe compared to the tranquility of the courtyard.

At this moment, a disciple came to call him; his father, Xu Qingshan, was looking for him.

Xu Zimei didn’t linger and went straight to Azure Mountain Peak.

Beyond the mountain, there’s another exterior to the Azure Mountain Tower!

At this moment, aside from Xu Qingshan, there was also a young man standing next to him at Azure Mountain Peak.

The young man was dressed in a blue robe and carried a longsword on his back, his eyes bright and spirited.

His longsword was different from ordinary swords; the sword light was half a meter wide.

Engraved on the hilt was a never-ending long river.

It looked very lifelike, as if you could hear the sound of waves breaking on the shore if you looked at it long enough.

"Senior Brother Xia," Xu Zimei softly greeted upon seeing the young man’s arrival.

The other party was named Xia Zihe, a direct disciple of his father.

Xu Qingshan had three disciples in his life, and this Xia Zihe was the third in seniority.

Their relationship used to be not bad in the past.

But later on, they were both busy with cultivation, and with going out of the sect for training adventures, they hadn’t seen each other for a long time.

"Junior Brother Zimo," Xia Zihe greeted Xu Zimei with a warm smile.

"It’s been a few years, and you’ve grown up so fast.

You’ve even become the Saint Heir of the True Martial Holy Sect, well done."

Xu Zimei smiled and shook his head, asking, "Did Senior Brother Xia also come back to participate in the martial arts competition?"

"Sort of, considered you are the Saint Heir this year, it’s going to be much more exciting, and who wouldn’t want to take up the challenge," Xia Zihe teased.

"Don’t even talk about it, although you direct disciples are decades older than me and started cultivating decades before me," Xu Zimei replied.

"But I haven’t really put you in my eyes."

"Alright, it’s good to have pride, but you should still take seriously those who ought to be taken seriously, after all, none of those people are simple."

Xu Qingshan added from the side, "Chaos has now become your Vein Beast.

The Vein Beast is also a part of your combat strength.

If it happens that you can’t defeat your opponents, you can let Chaos come out, and no one will have anything to say about it."

"Don’t worry, Junior Brother Zimo, I’ll protect you," Xia Zihe smiled and said from the side.

"During this time, let Xia Zihe stay at your Goose Southern Peak. You two haven’t seen each other in a long time," Xu Qingshan instructed.

Xu Zimei nodded his head and did not rebut.

......

No sooner had the two descended the mountain than Xia Zihe slung his arm around Xu Zimei’s shoulder, squinting his eyes and smiling.

"Little Zimo, have you taken a fancy to any girls in these past few years?

Tell your Senior Brother, have you caused trouble with a number of girls?"

"You think everyone is like you," Xu Zimei gave Xia Zihe a blank look.

This guy was as docile as a cat in front of their father, Xu Qingshan.

But in private, he was actually rakishly cheeky.

"I haven’t seen them for so many years, I wonder how my old friends are doing," Xia Zihe sighed and shook his head.

"You still have friends?" Xu Zimei asked in surprise.

"How could I not," Xia Zihe snorted and said, "Xiang Qianheng and the others.

Not to mention Dao Yang and Star Sword, that pair of lovebirds.

I wonder what my goddess looks like now."

"Who is your goddess?" Xu Zimei asked, puzzled.

"You don’t know?"

"How should I know? For someone like you who can’t walk past a woman without being entranced.

Every woman you see turns into a goddess."

"Nonsense," Xia Zihe hastily explained, "My goddess is Jiang Xier."

Xu Zimei pondered for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, you might be out of luck.

She cultivates the Way of Ruthlessness."

"What does it have to do with me, whether she’s compassionate or not?" Xia Zihe replied indifferently.

"All I care about is her appearance, not what’s in her heart."

"Overlord King takes by force?" Xu Zimei turned his head.

The two of them looked at each other and deviously smiled.

...…

Miaoliu Peak, this is where Xiao Yuexuan, the Sixth Elder of the True Martial Holy Sect, resides.

Ever since the last annihilation of the Yin-Yang Sect, because of various actions by Xiao Yuexuan, she ended up being confined by Xu Qingshan.

The place where Xiao Yuexuan was kept in confinement was off-limits to everyone.

Once one of the liveliest peaks of the True Martial Holy Sect, it had now declined.

Apart from a few maids who used to serve Xiao Yuexuan, there were rarely any people seen on Miaoliu Peak.

At this moment, as the snow quietly drifted down, Jiang Xier’s figure slowly appeared above Miaoliu Peak.

Being the direct disciple of Xiao Yuexuan, it had been a long time since she had seen her master.

Although she cultivates the Way of Ruthlessness, her cultivation was still shallow.

Now, the thought of her master stirred excitement in her heart.

When she arrived at the peak, she noticed that the courtyard where her master resided looked exceptionally deserted, except for a few maids.

"Where did master go?" She approached one of the maids and asked with a frown.

"You, you, you," the maid, seeing Jiang Xier, seemed at a loss for a moment.

"What exactly is going on?" A bad premonition suddenly arose in Jiang Xier’s heart.

The maid quickly came back to her senses and narrated the whole situation in detail.

When it was explained that Xiao Yuexuan had been put in confinement, Jiang Xier’s eyes turned red, and the chill around her grew even colder.

The space around her began to freeze, covered with a thick layer of ice.

"I will seek justice from the Sect Master," said Jiang Xier before heading directly towards Heaven Origin Peak.

...

The place set for the martial arts competition lies within the Heavenly Domain.

The last contest between the six sects, when Xu Zimei was designated as the Saint Heir, took place here.

During this recent period, the Sect Gate was busy arranging the competition’s layout within the Heavenly Domain.

The direct disciples who had returned were gathering joyfully amidst a tense atmosphere.

As the third-generation emperor of the True Martial Holy Sect, the Divine Travel Great Emperor wasn’t as renowned.

However, it’s undeniable that he made exceptional contributions to the development of the True Martial Holy Sect.

In his youth, the Divine Travel Great Emperor once left the sect to gain experience.

He accidentally obtained a furnace left by a strong figure from the Mythical Era.

This furnace, at its peak, was purported to forge pills, people, and even heavens.

By the time the Divine Travel Great Emperor found it, the Pill Furnace was already so damaged that it was barely recognizable.

Having gone through the Mythical Era, the Wild Desolation, and the Era of Emperors.

This furnace had long been sealed in the dust of the times and decayed.

The True Martial Holy Sect, after multiple repairs and using countless materials,

finally managed to fix the first two functions of the furnace, leaving the technique of refining heavens beyond reach.

Of course, even with just two functions intact, this furnace is incomparable to ordinary Universe Tier treasures.

The pills forged with it, using the same techniques and materials, are not just the finest of their kind.

Even more terrifying, it can forcibly elevate the grade of the pills by a significant level.

That’s the pill-making capability of the furnace, but as for refining people,

the flame inside can completely eliminate all impurities in a human body.

This effect is valid for all martial artists below the Immortal Path.

Without impurities, martial artists, whether in terms of cultivation speed or opening their Vein Gates, will find it much easier.
