I Truly Am The Villian

Hearing Xu Zimei’s words, the man in the yellow shirt let out a cry of alarm.

He shouted, "Lin Qiu, what do you think you’re doing?

Are we not fellow disciples of the same Sect, do you really want us to slaughter each other?"

"You disciples from Green Skies Peak come to my Great Skies Peak to strut around and even steal my maidservant. No matter how you look at it, I’m in the right here," Xu Zimei said calmly.

"If you dare to lay a hand on me, Shen Lang senior brother will never let you off," the man in the yellow shirt shouted, somewhat panicky.

Before he could finish speaking, the two guards beside him had already made their move.

One palm strike each, landing directly on the knees of the man in the yellow shirt.

With two "crack" sounds, the man in the yellow shirt knelt on the ground and cried out in pain.

The pain radiating from his legs was unbearable, his body curled up like a shrimp.

With cold sweat forming on his forehead, he looked at Xu Zimei with resentment and said, "You’ll see, you scum, I will remember today’s humiliation."

Xu Zimei chuckled lightly and said, "While you’re at it, pluck out his tongue as well, and let him crawl back to Green Skies Peak.

Also, I’ll be in seclusion for a while. Don’t disturb me unless it’s important."

After Xu Zimei finished speaking, he returned to the courtyard, completely ignoring the painful shouts of the man in the yellow shirt behind him.

......

After finishing his meal, Xu Zimei continued to return to his room to temper his body.

First, he had to restore his strength; this was the foundation of his existence in this world.

Because the timeline of the Divine Continent differed from that of the Eternal Ancient Continent, time flowed at a ratio of ten to one.

Ten days on the Divine Continent would pass, and only one day on the Eternal Ancient Continent would elapse.

So in the end, Xu Zimei simply chose to train on the Divine Continent.

Due to the formidable power of his Divine Soul, in fact, tempering the flesh had become less challenging.

But to lay a solid foundation and to maximize the potential of this avatar, Xu Zimei still chose to be steady and thorough.

And so, under the blessing of the Divine Continent’s primordial energy, he trained tirelessly for a full three months without sleep.

Aside from the energy required for eating, Xu Zimei devoted all his time to tempering his body.

Ultimately, only a month had passed in the outside world, when Xu Zimei finally emerged from his courtyard.

He prepared to visit his predecessor’s father and then go to the Scripture Pavilion in Great Skies Peak to learn more.

This was the first step in understanding this new world.

Stepping out of the courtyard, Xu Zimei for the first time since arriving in this world, began to survey the surrounding scenery.

Great Skies Peak soared into the clouds, appearing not just as a mountain peak but as a floating continent from afar.

The mountain was enveloped in mist, with his courtyard located halfway up its slope.

Around the mountain floated countless Jade Towers and buildings.

Immortal Cranes with spread wings circled the Jade Towers, their loud and clear calls piercing the air.

Others rode six-winged flying tigers that roared, gathering the spirit of the forest, standing with swords in hand, surrounded by surging Thunderbolt, with purple arcs of lightning roaming nearby.

This place was like the Immortal Realm itself, only because you dwell within the mountain.

The courtyards here weren’t just for Xu Zimei to reside in; there were other disciples living nearby as well.

The Great Skies Peak had a clear demarcation for residences.

The Peak Master lived at the very top, followed by the Elders, and then came the True Disciples and family members like Xu Zimei.

Further down were the Inner Sect Disciples, Outer Sect Disciples, and countless Servant Disciples.

Shortly after Xu Zimei left the courtyard, he saw two figures approaching from a distance.

They were a man and a woman, both appearing slightly older than Xu Zimei.

The man had a Longsword hanging at his waist, wearing the distinctive white robe of a True Disciple.

The white robe, adorned with several leisurely floating white clouds, featured a specially tailored collar and cuffs edged with golden threads and blue borders.

And the girl beside him, with a melon-seed face, was extremely delicate and lovely.

Her eyes sparkled with liveliness and spirit.

With her hair done up in a bun, she wore a specially made white female robe, her fair skin making her look particularly in need of protection at first sight.

When she saw Xu Zimei approaching, the man was fine, but the woman let out a heavy snort of disdain.

She expressed her discontent strongly.

According to his memory, Xu Zimei knew that these two were the direct disciples of his father, Lin Beisheng.

The man was named Ye Kai and the woman Ye Xuan, siblings who were accepted together as disciples by Lin Beisheng.

Xu Zimei naturally understood why she was angry.

The former had once spied on her bathing and spread the fact that Ye Xuan had a birthmark on her back all over Great Skies Peak.

After sullying her reputation, even Lin Beisheng, who was extremely fond of Lin Qiu, severely scolded him on that occasion.

From then on, Ye Xuan harbored great anger towards his former self.

Xu Zimei slightly shook his head, feeling like he was always paying off someone else’s debts.

But since he had taken over this body, there was no way around it.

"Junior Brother Lin," Ye Kai, who stood nearby, greeted with a smile.

He had a good temper, was cultured and refined, and didn’t put on the airs of a direct disciple, so he had the best popularity among the people of Great Skies Peak.

"Where are Elder Brother Ye and Elder Sister Ye headed?" Xu Zimei asked with a smile.

"Our Nine Skies Peak is about to start an event called the Nine Skies Grand Assembly.

This time, the assembly is said to be taken very seriously by the main clan, as they will be sending someone, so our ancestor places great importance on it.

He hopes that our peak can shine brightly and overpower all competitors at the event.

That’s why our ancestor has been personally teaching us of late," Ye Kai explained with a laugh.

Speaking of the main clan, the memory of the former was still of some use.

It was said that a long time ago, the Nine Heavens Imperial Sect was one of the most powerful forces in the Northern Domain.

Later, for some unknown reason, conflicts arose from within, leading to several battles.

Eventually, the Sect Gate was divided, with some leaving to establish new sects elsewhere.

Those who remained continued to decline, transforming a former top force into today’s second-rate power.

Moreover, between the seven veins, the unity was only in name and no longer existed in practice.

As for those who left, they formed a new Nine Heavens Imperial Sect that grew increasingly stronger and ultimately became a dominant power.

The new Nine Heavens Imperial Sect did not forget the old one and often provided assistance.

To better distinguish between the two forces, people started to refer to the Nine Heavens Imperial Sect as the main clan and the branch clan.

The Great Skies Peak, where Xu Zimei resided, was one of the branch clans.

Every year, the main clan selected individuals with exceptional talent from the branch clan to train within the main clan.

That’s why the Nine Skies Grand Assembly was taken so seriously this time, upon hearing that someone from the main clan was coming.

As for what the Nine Skies Grand Assembly was, the former had no idea.

However, the ancestor mentioned by Ye Kai was Lin Juemie, his grandfather and one of the old ancestors of Great Skies Peak.

It was Lin Beisheng who had taken over the mantle of the previous Peak Master from Lin Juemie.

And the person currently being groomed as the next Peak Master of Great Skies Peak was his elder brother, Lin Feng.
