I Truly Am The Villian

"How is this possible, Chief Shuo?" Xu form Blood Beast inquired.

"Since he is not a fool, how could he dare to let us out?" Chief Shuo retorted.

"Is he the fool, or are we the fools?"

"Are you suggesting he has a trump card that makes him unafraid of us?" Chang Style Blood Beast asked.

"I don’t know whether he has a trump card or not, but I do know that we no longer have the capital to gamble."

Chief Shuo said, "I don’t know how ambitious you two are, but trust me, our people now only desire one thing—freedom.

Nothing else.

Moreover, this is no longer the Mythical Era. What era is this? What changes have occurred in the Continent today? We know nothing."

"If the Form Blood Clan gets exterminated due to my erroneous decision, I don’t want to be that eternal sinner."

Chief Shuo sighed as he spoke.

"The ship of the new era has already set sail, and where do we, the people of the old era, go from here?"

Upon hearing Chief Shuo’s words, both were quietly reflective.

Though still somewhat unwilling, they had to admit that they were strangers in this era.

"Keep the clanspeople in line; let’s plan everything cautiously," Chief Shuo said.

...

The Form Blood Clan broke out of their seals but refrained from taking any drastic actions.

Xu Zimei found Han Yanrou and the Han Family’s Brothers.

He revealed all the truths to them; the world they lived in was but a well-intentioned lie.

As opposed to the incredulity of the Han Family’s Brothers, Han Yanrou appeared much calmer.

"In the future, this world will not mock you anymore, and many will want to be your friend,"

Xu Zimei smiled, "Because we are all the same; human."

He had assumed the appearance of a Form Blood Beast while in the Form Blood Space; only now was he in his original form.

Han Yanrou looked at him, pursed her lips, shook her head, and said, "I don’t care about the mockery or how many friends I have—I just want to be by your side."

"You should understand that I don’t have much time to linger," Xu Zimei said.

"I am bound for Heaven Beyond Heavens, even to higher realms, where many more enemies await me.

And you, you’re not meant to stay by my side."

Seeing Han Yanrou bow her head in silence, Xu Zimei gave her his identity token.

"Take this token to the True Martial Holy Sect in the Eastern Continent, that’s my home, and consider it yours too."

"What if one day I become as strong as you and no longer hold you back, can I be with you then?" Han Yanrou suddenly looked up and asked.

Xu Zimei smiled softly and lightly nodded his head.

For he knew that would never happen.

"Alright, then I’ll go to the True Martial Holy Sect," Han Yanrou took the token and then asked,

"And you?"

"I’ll need to return after a while," Xu Zimei looked up at the distant horizon.

"Some matters, some debts must be settled.

It’s time to end what needs to end, and those who deserve death, let them die swiftly."

...

Xu Zimei found the Lord of Destruction and explained in detail some matters within the Form Blood Space.

He did not know whose orders the Lord of Destruction was following to guard this masterless land.

Most likely it was again the Holy Master.

"Enough, enough, now I am also free," laughed the Lord of Destruction lightly.

Xu Zimei had the other party send a few people to escort Han Yanrou to the True Martial Holy Sect, and the Lord of Destruction did not refuse.

He was preparing to say goodbye to Ji Ruobing.

However, just as he turned around, Xu Zimei noticed that Miss Jing, dressed in thin clothes, stood in the autumn wind, smiling at him.

"Young Master Xu, it’s been a few days since we last met, have you thought of this young lady?" Miss Jing smiled tenderly, revealing shallow dimples.

"I still have things to do, we’ll talk later," Xu Zimei smiled, preparing to leave.

"I have several pieces of big news concerning you, Young Master Xu, would you like to hear them?" Miss Jing asked with a smile.

Xu Zimei stopped in his tracks, looking puzzled at her.

This time, Miss Jing was not joking, and spoke directly, "Seven days ago, the Sect Master Xue Qianhe of the Blood Nether Holy Sect, located in the Eastern Continent, suddenly announced.

The Ancestor, Blood Nether Emperor, left a dying wish, saying that the Saint Heir of the True Martial Holy Sect, Xu Zimei, is a great demon who must be eliminated as soon as possible.

Six days ago, Taiyi True Gate and Divine Wind Sect in the Western Continent also came forward to declare that to maintain peace in the world, the demon must be slain.

Five days ago, twelve of the thirty-six empires in the Northern Continent formed an alliance, all citing ancestors’ dreams saying the demon causes chaos among the stars, leading to great disorder in the world.

Four days ago, a poem circulated from the Minor Brightness Holy Land in the Southern Continent.

Cutting off the heads of the demons, spares the birth of despised demonic forms.

The frost blade severs the demons in hiding, purifying all to sanctity.

Three days ago, a woman named Baili Xiao from the Baili Family in the Eastern Continent, claimed herself as the great disciple of Empress Hongtian.

Rumors are, the Empress issued a decree, slaying demons to protect the way.

Two days ago, Saint Heir Lu Changhen from the Slaying Immortal Sect spoke up. Wishing to lead by example, he wants to rally everyone together to restore order.

Currently, the Continent is united like never before, you should be careful."

"You say many of these people bear no grudge against me, many don’t even know me. Why are all of them eager to come forward now?" Xu Zimei laughed.

Miss Jing smiled suggestively, pointing towards the sky and said, "Destiny is about to take shape."

"Suddenly, I’m reminded of a poem," Xu Zimei chuckled.

"What is it?" Miss Jing asked.

"Watching him build a high building, watching him entertain a crowd, watching his building collapse," Xu Zimei grinned.

"They’ve allowed me to feel powerful for such a long time, and now, just a step away from destiny, they wish to see my high building crumble."

"So, what do you plan to do next?" Miss Jing asked.

"Seclude myself, return to the sect, then kill," laughed Xu Zimei.

"With all this happening, how can you still stay so calm?" Miss Jing chided.

"What else can I do? Get frustrated and fearful?"

Xu Zimei laughed, "Would they stop targeting me if I behaved that way?"

Miss Jing rolled her eyes at Xu Zimei, then softly said, "You must remember, no matter what, I’m always standing by your side."

"Thanks," Xu Zimei smiled.

Regardless of her intentions, the fact that she shared such crucial information was commendable.

After parting with Miss Jing, Xu Zimei found Ji Ruobing.

"Where are you going?" Ji Ruobing also asked.

"I’ll be in seclusion for a while," Xu Zimei replied.

He needed some time to assimilate the ten Divine Methods he had obtained in the Ancient Heavenly Court.

"Then I’ll protect you," Ji Ruobing said.

"No need, you better head back to the Slaying Immortal Sect as soon as possible," Xu Zimei refused. Your journey continues on NovelBin.Côm

"One who doesn’t appreciate kindness," Ji Ruobing huffed discontentedly.

"The situation is more complicated than you think," Xu Zimei chuckled.

"I need time alone."
