I Truly Am The Villian

```

As this finger descended from the sky, the space around it began to collapse extensively.

The air waves carrying Wu Geng’s aura pressed down, with a thunderous "boom" echoing forth.

Accumulating endless air waves and storms, once the finger fell, Tan Jiulin only felt an invincible force descending from the heavens.

Her body stiffened in place, the circulation within her body becoming exceedingly slow.

She struggled to lift her giant axe to defend, but only heard a loud "bang."

A great force transmitted from the finger, and she was sent flying out from the center of the storm.

She was like a lone skiff in the vast ocean, utterly devoid of any resistance.

"Bang!"

The figure slowly fell to the ground, smashing into a crater several meters deep.

She remained still for a long while before finally struggling to stand up from the ground.

At that moment, she felt as though she had truly experienced the terror between life and death.

Her heart still raced, and her blood seemed as if it had congealed.

"You…," Tan Jiulin looked up at Xu Zimei, her lips parting slightly, but she couldn’t articulate a single word.

"You’re too weak, so weak that I don’t even have the interest to draw my sword."

Xu Zimei shook his head slightly.

"You, who are like this, still talk to me about destiny? About fighting? About sparring?"

Tan Jiulin was silent for a long while, she had been traveling around these past few years.

She had seen real Talented Disciples and was confident she was no worse than others.

"It’s just that you’re too strong," Tan Jiulin said after a moment of silence.

"How did you obtain the second Battle Body?" Xu Zimei inquired.

"My master gave it to me," Tan Jiulin paused before finally responding.

"Who is your master?" Xu Zimei asked curiously.

"I do not know his name, I just heard others calling him ’Sage,’" Tan Jiulin replied.

"If you can see your master again, tell him I have questions for him," Xu Zimei said indifferently.

"Have him come to the True Martial Holy Sect to find me. I spared your life this time; consider it a message delivered on my behalf."

Xu Zimei frowned slightly, the title ’Sage’ sounded very familiar to him.

The youth who rode the Azure Ox during the Mythical Era was also called ’Sage.’

In the conversation with the Divine Emperor, the one ordered to seal the Ancient Demon Cave was also referred to as ’Sage.’

Now, the second Battle Body also had something to do with this Sage.

Xu Zimei indeed wanted to meet this person, to clear up some of his doubts.

As for friend or foe, those who block the way will be met with no mercy!

"One day, I will qualify to fight you," Tan Jiulin said seriously to Xu Zimei before leaving.

"The second Battle Body is worthless in my eyes. Without it, what do you have left?" Xu Zimei spoke lightly.

Tan Jiulin fell silent, eventually sheathed her giant axe, disengaged her Battle Body form, and slowly walked towards the city’s outskirts.

The sky was nearing dawn, with a glimmer of light appearing in the east, and the world remained in a tranquil silence.

Tan Jiulin walked slowly out of the city, ultimately turning back to take a deep look at it.

"Little Evil, do you think I can surpass him?"

The Evil God List in her arms emitted a faint golden glow as it finally spoke, "As long as the heart is strong enough, there’s nothing in this world that can’t be done.

It’s just that man, I cannot see through him."

...…

The City Lord’s death will cause a huge commotion throughout Blood Slaughter City.

And the death of Xue Jingyu might also shake the Blood Nether Holy Sect, but all of that is of no concern to Xu Zimei.

```

Early the next morning, Xu Zimei prepared to return to the Extreme West Region by taking a Teleportation Array in Blood Slaughter City.

After a lackluster journey through space, on the seventh day, Xu Zimei finally returned to the Extreme West Region.

Sun-Chasing City is located to the north of the True Martial Holy Sect, within the territory of the Divine Sun Holy Sect.

Sun-Chasing City is one of the few large cities under the jurisdiction of the Divine Sun Holy Sect.

It is said that an ancestor of the Divine Sun Holy Sect once pursued the sun to this place and, upon arriving, had an epiphany and ascended to immortality.

The Divine Sun Holy Sect then established a city here to commemorate the glory of that ancestor.

The morning light shone through the window, enveloping a splendid courtyard within the city in its warm embrace.

Xuanyuan Xuantian slowly opened the door to his room, facing the sunlight with a profound and clear gaze.

He was once a Saint Heir of the Divine Sun Holy Sect, possessing one of the Hundred Great Battle Bodies, the Xuanyuan Battle Body.

He had also participated in the grand competition between the six sects, and although he did not take first place, he shone brilliantly.

He was once the Saint Heir who was wholeheartedly nurtured by the Sect Gate to vie for the destiny of the era.

But now, Xuanyuan Xuantian had to sigh and acknowledge that the affairs of this world are truly unpredictable and incomprehensible.

Half a year ago, an old ancestor of the Divine Sun Holy Sect who had been in seclusion suddenly emerged.

The ancestor not only made a breakthrough to the Immortal Ascension Boundary, enhancing the overall strength of the sect,

but also brought back a young man whom he wished to cultivate vigorously to replace himself as the new Saint Heir.

Xuanyuan Xuantian swore that he would remember that day for the rest of his life.

He had proposed a challenge to the newcomer, only to be trampled underfoot, ending the fight in a very humiliating manner.

The young man possessed the Undying Battle Body, which ranked seventeenth among the Hundred Great Battle Bodies.

And now, he has become the new City Lord of Sun-Chasing City.

Although Sun-Chasing City is a major city under the rule of the Divine Sun Holy Sect, in the end, he had been stripped of his status as Saint Heir.

It was, in a way, an exile from the sect, a veiled banishment.

With his future uncertain, Xuanyuan Xuantian felt deeply saddened.

...…

Xu Zimei emerged from the Teleportation Array and found himself in the bustling streets at noon.

A few days’ journey south from Sun-Chasing City would bring one near the territory of the True Martial Holy Sect.

Xu Zimei found an inn, and in truth, at his level, going without food for a long time was no longer a concern.

It was merely an appetite he indulged.

He entered the inn, which was at its liveliest during the midday hour.

The crowd was neither too large nor too small.

Xu Zimei chose a seat by the window and took in the view outside.

Just then, a young man in a golden robe, accompanied by an elder, entered the inn.

"Young Master Xuanyuan, please head upstairs. Your private room is ready," said the shopkeeper as he hurried over, respectfully addressing the young man.

Xuanyuan Xuantian nodded calmly and was about to head upstairs.

As he reached the stairs, his gaze inadvertently met with Xu Zimei’s at the window and he paused in his tracks.

"Young Master Xuanyuan?" The shopkeeper kept calling softly from the side.

"Today I’ll sit downstairs," Xuanyuan Xuantian said with a slight shake of his head as he walked towards Xu Zimei.

"We can be considered old acquaintances, can’t we? May I sit here?" Xuanyuan Xuantian asked, looking at Xu Zimei.

"Take a seat," Xu Zimei nodded.

Returning to the Extreme West Region gave him a rather homesick feeling.

"You look despondent."

"Is it that obvious?" Xuanyuan Xuantian chuckled lightly.
