I Really Am A Villain

“Senior, for escorting us all this way, we have no way to repay you. Please come to our Luo Clan and let me fulfill my duties as a host.”

The old man turned around and said solemnly to Xu Zimo.

“I’m too lazy to get involved in your Luo Clan’s affairs,” Xu Zimo directly refused.

“I’ll just find an inn in the city and wait for the recruitment conference of the five great powers.”

With Luo Mingyue returning home this time, the entire Luo Clan was probably full of hidden currents.

Although Xu Zimo wasn’t afraid, he wasn’t someone else’s hired muscle either.

These past days he had escorted the two, and they had led the way and told him much news about the Great Beyond.

Calculating it this way, they were even.

Being refused by Xu Zimo, the old man’s expression was somewhat awkward.

But he could only nod.

“This old one is the Grand Elder of the Luo Clan and still has some authority. If senior has any requests, feel free to find me.”

Xu Zimo nodded slightly.

He paid no more attention to the two and directly walked into Mortal City.

It was currently dawn, with the morning sun just breaking.

The city that had been sealed all night had just now opened its gates.

Watching Xu Zimo’s departing back, the old man let out a deep sigh.

“Grand Elder, has young master left?”

Luo Mingyue poked her head out from the carriage and asked.

“He’s gone,” the old man nodded helplessly.

“Young master and us are ultimately not traveling the same path,” Luo Mingyue said with some disappointment.

“I know, but I still had some selfish intentions.”

The old man replied.

“When you first go to the Luo Clan, you’ll have no foundation after all. Even with the family patriarch protecting you, I’m afraid you’ll have difficulty moving forward. The power dynamics in the Luo Clan are too complex, and the struggle for power has reached an extreme degree.”

“If senior could come to our Luo Clan, With him protecting you, at least you’d have some say. What a pity, such a pity.”

“Grand Elder, please don’t speak of this anymore,” Luo Mingyue replied with a determined expression.

“Senior saved our lives. We should be bowing down with gratitude. How can we use senior to intimidate others?”

“You girl… you’re just too stubborn,” the old man shook his head.

“But I conduct myself uprightly and honestly,” Luo Mingyue said.

“This return to the Luo Clan is only to fulfill mother’s wish. When the recruitment conference of the five great powers begins, I’ll find a way to join the Jade Maiden Palace. I have no interest whatsoever in the Luo Clan’s wealth and power.”

“What if you can’t enter the Jade Maiden Palace?” the old man asked in return.

When the five great powers recruit disciples, the entire Great Beyond is shaken.

At that time, geniuses will emerge in droves, countless cultivators.

Who dares guarantee they’ll definitely be selected?

“Then I’ll return to my old residence and live peacefully until death,” Luo Mingyue replied firmly.

“Alright, let’s return to the residence first,” the old man waved his hand.

Once they went to the Luo Clan, the family patriarch would naturally make arrangements.

………

This Mortal City was very large.

As the Luo Clan’s headquarters and the premier city among thirty-six cities, Mortal City’s vastness was unimaginable.

Mortal City was divided into East and West cities.

The East City was where the city’s native residents lived.

The West City gathered people from all thirty-six cities, with countless people coming and going from north and south, forming a massive trading market.

In West City, there was nothing you couldn’t buy.

Xu Zimo first came to East City and found an inn.

Since it was just dawn, the inn’s attendant also looked like he hadn’t fully woken up, appearing rather listless.

Seeing Xu Zimo enter, he forced himself to be alert and came forward to greet him.

“Guest, are you here to eat or stay?”

“Staying,” Xu Zimo waved his hand and found a seat by the window.

“Bring up all the house specialties.”

“Right away!” The attendant hurriedly went down to prepare.

Meanwhile, Xu Zimo began contemplating his next actions.

First, he definitely had to find a way into the Jade Maiden Palace.

They didn’t recruit men.

But what about a stunningly brilliant genius?

There were always things in the world that could make people break precedent.

In other words, the worst outcome would be to capture someone from the Jade Maiden Palace and have them take him in.

However, currently, it wasn’t certain whether the Edge of Heaven was where the Desolate Tree was located.

But as one of the five great powers, a master of the Great Beyond, the Jade Maiden Palace should have heard of the Desolate Tree, right?

Currently, he could only take it one step at a time.

Xu Zimo wasn’t anxious. He had recently been comprehending his second form.

After Nine Hells Desolation, Xu Zimo had realized that creating godly techniques was a viable path.

Godly techniques he created himself were most suited to him.

As for the second form, Xu Zimo had some ideas.

He would call it Slay Myriad Immortals.

Some destroy the nine hells, some slay ten thousand immortals. I am the chess player and all living beings are chess pieces.

………

After eating, Xu Zimo returned to the inn.

However, his comprehension of the second divine technique hadn’t lasted long before Xu Zimo was awakened by a commotion.

With a boom sound, the door to his room was kicked open.

A group of people wearing martial uniforms barged in.

“You’ve committed a crime. Come with us,” one of them said.

This person had a broad back and sturdy build, with very strong presence around him.

His strength should be around the God Meridian level.

However, Xu Zimo could sense that this group was just the vanguard.

In the shadows, several Grand Emperor’s presences fell upon him, as if investigating something.

“Somewhat interesting,” he chuckled lightly.

He wasn’t angry either.

Because when they barged in, they were already destined to be dead men.

“Who are you?” Xu Zimo asked.

“Luo Clan guards,” the leading man said proudly.

Although they were guards, the Luo Clan was the ruler here.

Their status was naturally different.

Normally, no matter who it was, they had to give these guards some face.

“What do you want with me?” Xu Zimo asked again.

“You know in your heart. Once we reach the Luo Clan, there will naturally be a conclusion,” the guard said indifferently.

“Then let’s go take a look,” Xu Zimo stood up.

He was somewhat interested now.

He didn’t provoke others, yet someone wanted to seek death. He didn’t mind sending certain people on their way.

This guard seemed somewhat surprised by Xu Zimo’s composure.

Watching as Xu Zimo walked out,

They also hurriedly surrounded him and followed out.

Someone led the way in front, and a mighty procession headed toward the Luo Clan.

Xu Zimo didn’t resist, so they were happy to have it easy.

Walking on the main street, naturally, there was much discussion all around.

………

At this time, in a wine house beside the street, a group of people wearing scholarly robes sat here.

An old man with four young disciples looked down from the second-floor window.

One of the male disciples said, “The Luo Clan hasn’t been very peaceful recently.”

“That place is about to open, and it’s in their territory. It would be strange if they were calm,” a woman beside him laughed.

“When do we make our move?” another man asked indifferently without smiling.

“That depends on Master,” the previous woman smiled.

Several people looked up.

The old man sitting by the window hadn’t said a word.

“Can’t see through,” the old man said.

“What is Master talking about?” Several people were somewhat confused.

“My Fate-Observing Technique can’t see through him,” the old man’s gaze fixed on Xu Zimo.

Until Xu Zimo’s figure disappeared from view.
