I Truly Am The Villian

```

"You lost," Xu Zimei sheathed his sword, casually saying after the Sword Intent in the void was extinguished.

Silence lingered in the darkness for a long, long time.

The ancient voice eventually asked, "Your strength is much greater than mine, I wonder why you sought me out.

I can’t teach you."

"Who said I wanted you to teach me Sword Intent," Xu Zimei said.

"Could it be," the Sword Spirit paused, seeming to have realized something.

"Take a look at what this is," Xu Zimei took out the True Divine Sword from the True Fate World, saying.

The moment the True Divine Sword appeared, although it was not yet complete, it still suppressed all the Sword Intent in the void.

It floated in the dark void like the king among swords, slowly hovering in mid-air.

"You, you," the ancient voice in the darkness was clearly shocked.

"You found it."

"I’m still missing a few things, but it won’t be long," Xu Zimei said.

"This shard has been separated for tens of millions of years, aren’t you planning to merge with it?"

The elder remained silent for a long time before saying, "If I do not merge, you will probably force the fusion, won’t you?"

"If you’re willing, that’s best," Xu Zimei said.

"In fact, I’ve also been searching for the shards of the original body all these years," the Sword Spirit said.

"Back then, I taught the West King, hoping he could help me find all the pieces.

Unfortunately, he ultimately failed in the struggle for Destiny, became disheartened, and had no desire to step into this mortal world again."

"Enter then, the True Divine Sword needs you," Xu Zimei nodded and responded.

"So be it, you’ve shown dedication in gathering the shards of the original body," came a sigh from the darkness.

Then a clang resounded, and a streak of sword light flashed from the void.

The True Divine Sword floating in mid-air seemed to sense something; its blade trembling slightly, as if a child excited to return home.

The sword’s name echoed all around, as though the dark space was being sliced into countless pieces.

The darkness was illuminated, and from the depths of the void, a streak of sword light sped forth at incredible speed, almost like the speed of light.

It directly entered the True Divine Sword’s body.

In an instant, Sword Intent shot towards the skies, tearing through the darkness overhead, shredding the dark void above.

It soared into the firmament above Chu City.

Feeling this Sword Intent, Huyan He’s expression changed.

He murmured, "Has it been successful?"

Xu Zimei waved his hand, drawing back the joyously trembling True Divine Sword.

The original sword was like a lifeless blade, merely a well-crafted material.

Now it had gained a breath of life, coming alive, and the entire sword seemed to have undergone a drastic transformation; both its Sword Intent and aura were worlds apart from before.

Xu Zimei stored the True Divine Sword away; for the moment, he couldn’t let others know about it.

The secrets of the Ancient Heavenly Court were too important; if others knew, they would come to snatch it without hesitation.

He had many things to do now and did not want to waste time on other matters.

With the Sword Spirit’s existence gone, the dark void in front of him also dispersed.

Xu Zimei walked out from it.

Huyan He looked at Xu Zimei with a complicated expression and asked, "You succeeded."

"Don’t you already have the answer in your heart," Xu Zimei smiled and said.

"That’s true, I just can’t help feeling frustrated," Huyan He took a deep breath and said.

"The things of this world are unpredictable, no matter how hard you try, if it’s not meant to be, it won’t happen."

"Enough, no need to fret over what’s lost, I’m in a good mood, so you get to live," Xu Zimei said.

Watching the retreating backs of Xu Zimei and his companions, Huyan He sat on the ground alone, gazing thoughtfully and seemingly lost in contemplation.

...

"Master, where are we heading now?" the White Bone Demon asked.

"To the Void Valley; my main body is still there," Xu Zimei said.

Every city among the Nine States has its own Teleportation Array.

The Void Valley is the closest to Great Liang, so Xu Zimei decided to take the Teleportation Array from Chu City to Liang City, and then go directly to the Void Valley.

Due to the war, it had been a long time since the Array in Chu City had been used.

The three of them didn’t need to wait and directly boarded the Teleportation Array.

It was another venture through space and time; during the brief interval, Xu Zimei had been continuously practicing.

About seven days later, the group emerged from the void and arrived at the bustling, thriving Liang City.

The moment they landed, Xu Zimei felt as if he had entered another world.

Contrary to the deserted Chu City, here the air was thick with the scent of life, with people hustling and bustling in the streets amidst a cacophony of noise, creating a lively scene.

"Let’s head straight for the Void Valley," Xu Zimei said.

Passing through the main streets of Liang City, just as they were crossing, Xu Zimei noticed a notice posted on a nearby wall.

The content was for a wanted notice.

Xu Zimei looked at the portrait on it; the person drawn there looked exactly like him.

Of course, it resembled his true self. As his current identity was Lin Qiu, naturally, no one would recognize him.

This wanted notice came from under the authority of the Heavenly Emperor Gate.

The gist of the content was an announcement offering hundreds of thousands of Spirit Crystals and various Vein Skills as a reward for information on Xu Zimei.

If someone were to capture him, they could even join the Heavenly Emperor Gate and choose a Peerless Divine Weapon.

While Xu Zimei was looking at this, some passersby also started to gather and take a look.

"The Heavenly Emperor Gate is really generous," remarked someone nearby.

"So magnanimous indeed."

"You’re inexperienced, aren’t you? The Heavenly Emperor Gate is supported by three emperors, such profound depth they have.

These offerings are but a drop in their ocean; to them, it’s nothing significant."

"What bad luck for Xu Zimei, wonder how he offended the Heavenly Emperor Gate."

"Don’t you know? It’s been all over the Nine States Domain.

They say that this wanted order was issued by Xiang Kunlun, the Saint Heir of the Heavenly Emperor Gate; Xu Zimei killed the Saint Heir’s brother-in-law, Feiyu Changhong."

"So that’s the story. I’ve heard that Feiyu Changhong’s sister, Feiyu Qingyun, is also a formidable figure.

Now that she’s wed to Xiang Kunlun, it is truly the envy of everyone! A perfect match."

"But Xu Zimei does have some skill; although this wanted notice has been issued throughout the Central Continent, there has yet to be any news of him."

...

Hearing these conversations around him, Xu Zimei couldn’t help but feel a mix of amusement and exasperation.

The matter with Feiyu Changhong had almost slipped his mind.

Back at the Palace of the God of Slaughter, the other party had tried to forcefully take his Dark Heaven Tiger and was killed by him.

At that time, he had also fought with a clone of Xiang Kunlun, annihilating it.

He hadn’t expected them to still bear a grudge now.

"Well, if we ever encounter each other, I’ll just have to kill them," Xu Zimei shook his head slightly.

"Really, they’ve been given enough face."

The three of them crossed the main street, left Great Liang City, and flew directly towards the Void Valley, treading through the air.

It remained unknown whether Bai Meng was still there at the Valley.

Traveling at an extremely high speed, it took them about half a day to reach the Void Valley.

Passing through the Void Gate, Xu Zimei reminded everyone to be cautious of the Void Storms and chaotic currents.

He certainly didn’t want to cross through again.
