I Truly Am The Villian

"Oh, there's such a matter," the Heavenly Dragon Martial Emperor said with a hint of surprise.

"Who did the killing?"

"For me to come here, does the Martial Emperor really need to ask?" Elder Bi smiled.

"Elder Bi's words are somewhat unfounded," the Heavenly Dragon Martial Emperor shook his head with a smile.

"Is there any evidence? Just because someone from the Vast State died, does it mean you can blame us?"

"Martial Emperor, you should know, this kind of trickery is pointless," Elder Bi said, shaking his head.

"Once things really go south, if you can kill people from the Vast State, the Vast State can kill you too.

It will only lead to war then."

"What is Elder Bi's purpose in coming here?" the Heavenly Dragon Martial Emperor asked.

"For the sake of those two inheritors," Elder Bi said truthfully.

"You want to take them to the Vast State?" the Heavenly Dragon Martial Emperor frowned and said.

"Take them back to the Haotian Sect. Once the investigation is clear, the inheritance matter will be returned to your Heavenly Dragon Empire," Elder Bi said.

"As for the Vast State General's matter, you will also need to make reparations.

Discuss the reparations between your two countries yourselves. I just hope not to ruin relations between the two countries over an inheritance."

Hearing this, the Heavenly Dragon Martial Emperor began to ponder.

If it were before, he certainly wouldn't agree.

But Xu Zimei was already a tough issue. Not giving him to the Haotian Sect would not only offend people but also bring no benefit in dealing with him.

So after contemplating for a moment, the Heavenly Dragon Martial Emperor smiled and said, "Since Elder Bi has spoken, this face must be given.

You can take the two people away, as for how to handle it, you decide."

Elder Bi gave the Heavenly Dragon Martial Emperor a surprised look.

He originally thought it would be troublesome, after all, the Heavenly Dragon Martial Emperor was a hero and leader, never one to compromise easily.

"The Martial Emperor is truly wise, I admire you," Elder Bi smiled and said.

"In that case, I won't disturb you further."

"Elder Bi, stay a little longer. I've already had a feast prepared," the Heavenly Dragon Martial Emperor said symbolically.

"I won't impose, if there's a chance to visit Haotian Sect, I will surely fulfill my duty as a host," Elder Bi smiled.

"Let's go," Elder Bi glanced at Xu Zimei and Wu Zhaodi and said.

Watching Elder Bi's departing figure, Wu Zhaodi looked at Xu Zimei.

In a low voice, she asked, "Do you know someone in the Haotian Sect?"

"If I know people, they must know me," Xu Zimei smiled.

"Remember what I said," before leaving, Xu Zimei specially reminded Old Demon Wei.

Only when Xu Zimei's group disappeared from sight did a minister next to him grumble, "Those two are too presumptuous, it's as if they don't see our Heavenly Dragon Empire.

They must be taught a lesson."

"Why didn't you speak up when they were here?" the Heavenly Dragon Martial Emperor glared at the minister and said lightly.

The minister laughed sheepishly; he was only making idle threats, the real actions were not up to him.

"Are they from your Demon Race?" the Heavenly Dragon Martial Emperor glanced at Old Demon Wei and asked calmly.

"They are from the Demon Race," Old Demon Wei nodded, this he could confirm.

"But it doesn't seem to be from the Demon Realm."

"Besides your Demon Realm, where else could there be demons in this world?" the Heavenly Dragon Martial Emperor retorted.

"Indeed," Old Demon Wei nodded with a smile.

But the next moment, his expression stiffened, as if he realized something.

If other than the Demon Realm, there's any other place with demons, it must be the Ancient Demon Cave.

After all, that is the main base of the Demon Race.

"Impossible, how could it be," Old Demon Wei shook his head incessantly, denying his thoughts.

But then he recalled the words Xu Zimei had said.

"After the Heaven Challenge, your king has returned."

For a moment, his thoughts struggled between ice and fire, negating yet unable to fully negate.

"Your Majesty, should we investigate their origins?" Ge Changyun asked beside him.

"Investigate, investigate thoroughly," the Heavenly Dragon Martial Emperor struck the table heavily.

"And also check the interactions between the Vast State and Haotian Sect."

"What about the Empress's illness?"

"Continue searching for Dragon Beach Grass, increase the bounty," the Heavenly Dragon Martial Emperor said.

"Your Majesty, I might need to leave for a while," Old Demon Wei said.

"To return to the Demon Realm?"

Old Demon Wei nodded.

......

Following Elder Bi's figure, they entered Heavenly Dragon City not long ago and were about to leave again.

"I am Bi Shangjie," Elder Bi introduced himself.

"Speaking of which, you two actually should thank me."

"Why should we thank you," Wu Zhaodi asked.

"Even without you, those people from the Heavenly Dragon Empire couldn't do anything to us."

"The inheritance?" Elder Bi did not argue, directly asking.

"Do you think if we had the inheritance, the Heavenly Dragon Martial Emperor would let you take us away so easily?" Xu Zimei retorted.

"I want to know, what really happened at the Ancestral Dragon Tomb?" Elder Bi asked.

Xu Zimei briefly recounted, but he didn't mention killing the Ancestral Dragon, only saying there were conflicts between the Vast State and the Sanluan Sect, and he and another escaped.

At this point, Xu Zimei asked, "I wonder if Qi Haoran is in the sect?"

"Why are you looking for Sect Master Qi?" Elder Bi asked with a hint of doubt.

"Entrusted by an old acquaintance to bring something to him," Xu Zimei said.

"An old acquaintance, you know Sect Master Qi's old acquaintance?" Elder Bi laughed.

Clearly not believing, he said, "What is it, you can give it to me, I will pass it to Sect Master Qi."

"You can't, I must give it to Qi Haoran personally," Xu Zimei shook his head and refused.

"Then talk about it when you see Sect Master Qi, he is in seclusion," Elder Bi said.

"But for now, you must come with me to the Haotian Sect once."

With a wave of his hand, a wild wind gathered around Elder Bi, as if a strange sound was echoing continuously.

Soon, a gigantic bird soared from afar as if responding to the wind sound.

The bird spread its wings like a great roc, covering most of the sky.

With its sharp beaked face and fluffy blue feathers falling, the bird quietly stopped in front of them.

"Come on up," Elder Bi stepped forward first.

"I was just about to go to the Haotian Sect," Xu Zimei said.

"But you don't believe I have any inheritance, do you?"

"Whether you have the inheritance or not isn't important, I don't care about the Ancestral Dragon's inheritance," Elder Bi shrugged.

"But you must stay for seven days before you can leave.

This is also to account for the Heavenly Dragon Empire."

Xu Zimei could guess that the Haotian Sect and the Vast State must have reached some agreement behind the scenes.

Taking the two to the Haotian Sect was just to avoid suspicion from the Heavenly Dragon Martial Emperor.

"Tell me about Qi Haoran," Xu Zimei asked as he sat on the bird's back.
