I Truly Am The Villian

"Under the guidance of the Lord of the Dead Spirits, the Netherworld Realm has become increasingly outrageous."

"They refuse to comply with any conditions," the voice explained.

"What did the king say?" Miss Jing asked again.

"No reply on this matter; it seems they want us to solve it ourselves," the voice said.

"In that case, with our current capabilities, let's put aside the Netherworld Realm for now," Miss Jing instructed.

"The main focus is to search for Xu Zimei's whereabouts and ensure he is truly dead."

After saying this, Miss Jing herself didn't believe it; it was just the target they all had.

The voice didn't reply, instead it gradually faded away.

Miss Jing's gaze fixed on the void, and everything around her fell silent once more.

Inside the Shu Mansion,

An originally ordinary banquet ended in a smokeless competition.

Drunken Beauty emerged as the big winner, although they were just a group of women who rarely showed off, but casually showcasing a skill made them impossible to ignore.

And with the Heavenly Dragon Empire behind the Shu Mansion, there was nothing to fear.

After the banquet ended, Shu Long began arranging accommodations for Xu Zimei and his companion.

Arriving at the courtyard, Shu Long saw there was no one around, and reminded, "Brother-in-law, Zhaodi, I just received some news that I might need to tell you."

"What is it?" Xu Zimei asked curiously.

"The Sanluan Sect coming here is not just to recruit disciples."

"To be precise, recruiting disciples is just an excuse," Shu Long whispered.

"In a few days, the tomb of the Ancestral Dragon will be unearthed here."

"Ancestral Dragon's tomb? What is that?" Xu Zimei asked in confusion.

"Brother-in-law, you don't even know this?" Shu Long said in surprise.

"I'm not from here, how would I know," Xu Zimei laughed.

"It's very famous; even if most people in the Catastrophe Demon Domain haven't seen it, they must have heard of it," Shu Long replied.

Next to him, Wu Zhaodi timely explained, "The name of the Heavenly Dragon Empire is related to this Ancestral Dragon.

Legend has it that before the establishment of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, this place was once the realm of the Ancestral Dragon."

"Ancestral Dragon, does it have any connection with the Sixteen Demon Tribes?" Xu Zimei asked.

The Sixteen Demon Tribes are the dominators of the Cangxuan Realm, divided into the upper eight demon tribes and lower eight demon tribes.

"Strictly speaking, they are a single lineage; from what I've heard, there was once a disagreement among the ancestors of the Ancestral Dragon lineage.

Some Ancestral Dragons left and went to the Cangxuan Realm, forming the Sixteen Demon Tribes.

Another part remained in the Catastrophe Demon Domain," Shu Long explained.

"That's right," Wu Zhaodi chimed in, nodding, "After the Demon Race took control here, all Ancestral Dragons were killed.

Countless Ancestral Dragon corpses fell into the earth, forming these innumerable tombs and Legacy Lands."

"So you mean, the people coming here are all aiming for the Ancestral Dragon's legacy?" Xu Zimei asked.

He recalled the Monster Mirror he obtained previously, which he hadn't used much since capturing the Old Demon of Laoshan.

Perhaps this Ancestral Dragon might satisfy one of its conditions.

"Probably, ninety percent chance," Shu Long replied.

"I only learned about this tonight, but it has nothing to do with us, just be cautious in the coming days."

"I kind of want to go see the Ancestral Dragon's tomb," Xu Zimei suddenly said.

"Don't, Brother-in-law," Shu Long paused, quickly said.

"We don't need to join this commotion."

"I want to see it too," Wu Zhaodi immediately said.

"Alright, I'll arrange it by tomorrow; if the Shu Family decides to go, we'll try to include us," Shu Long said directly.

Xu Zimei gave Shu Long a glance; this guy changed his tune too fast.

This is the legendary prioritizing affection over everything else.

"But you guys can only watch, don't cause trouble," Shu Long warned them.

After Shu Long left, Wu Zhaodi didn't rush back to the room, instead pointed to the pavilion in the courtyard and said to Xu Zimei, "Want to chat?"

Xu Zimei didn't refuse.

"I plan to kill that Qi Kuangyin," Wu Zhaodi said directly.

"When the time comes, there will be big trouble; if you want to leave, do it quickly."

"Just that?" Xu Zimei asked.

"The Sanluan Sect is not frightening; what's frightening is the Tianluan Immortal Palace behind them," Wu Zhaodi shook her head.

"Honestly, I live for revenge, so from tomorrow on, we'll go our separate ways."

"Your revenge doesn't concern me; anyway, I plan to check out the Ancestral Dragon's tomb," Xu Zimei said.

"Why are you so unclear?" Wu Zhaodi asked helplessly.

"Our current relationship appears to others as if we're together.

If something happens to me, you'll be implicated."

While they were talking, a sudden explosion echoed from the void not far away.

Immediately followed by a dragon's roar, shaking the surroundings.

A storm of earth-toned Spiritual Energy gathered in the sky, spiraling upwards, then shooting into the clouds.

The dragon's roar grew louder and more intense.

This dragon's roar reverberated over an area of Baili, almost flooding the sky, attracting everyone's attention.

Before Xu Zimei could move, he saw several figures from Shuyang County stepping into the void, rushing toward the direction of the dragon's roar.

"It's true that timing is everything," Xu Zimei laughed.

"Dark and windy night," Wu Zhaodi murmured to herself.

She wasn't concerned with the Ancestral Dragon's legacy, but sought the lives of everyone in the Sanluan Sect.

Xu Zimei knew she didn't want to reveal the reason, so he didn't ask.

He took to the air, slowly heading toward the direction of the dragon's roar.

When Xu Zimei and Wu Zhaodi arrived, the place was almost occupied by several major forces.

The ones Xu Zimei recognized were Drunken Beauty, the Sanluan Sect, and the Shu Family.

There were two other forces he didn't recognize.

One was two strong men, introduced by Shu Long.

The two were notorious bandit brothers in Shuyang County.

The other force was completely shrouded in black robes, presumably hiding their identity, unwilling for others to know.

A total of five forces surrounded the area.

At the center point was the location of the Ancestral Dragon's tomb.

The earth-toned Spiritual Energy continued to gather and rise.

"Ladies and gentlemen, who will be the first?" the Sanluan Sect elder, Qi Kuangyin, asked as he looked around with a smile.

"Elder Qi holds a high position, you should go first," Gongsun Muyu smiled.

"It doesn't matter who goes first; we're not going to be polite," snorted the bandit brothers beside them.

They then jumped directly into the center point.

The crowd waited and waited, seeing that nothing abnormal seemed to happen, fearing the legacy might be taken.

The nearby group of men in black also jumped in first.

And the others couldn't wait, and they all followed inside.
