I Really Am A Villain

“I will,” Xu Zimo nodded.

The old man’s remnant soul seemed unable to hold on anymore.

Finally, accompanied by deep sighs, the mist dispersed. Xu Zimo felt his consciousness recover again.

He opened his eyes.

He was back in the courtyard.

Luo Mingyue watched him carefully from the side.

“Young master, just now…”

“It’s nothing,” Xu Zimo waved his hand.

When he opened the box again, he discovered it was no longer locked.

Very easily opened.

Inside, just as the old man said, was a jade token.

This jade token, who knew what material it was made of.

In any case, the surface was carved with densely packed characters.

These characters also weren’t very clear.

“I am in need of this token,” Xu Zimo said.

“This was left to me by my mother,” Luo Mingyue hesitated.

“With the token in your hands, you gain nothing but risk losing your life,” Xu Zimo said.

“I’ll take the token and give you an opportunity in return. How about it?”

Luo Mingyue hesitated briefly.

Finally nodded.

After Xu Zimo put away the token and pondered briefly, he asked, “Besides this token, did your mother leave you anything else?”

Luo Mingyue shook her head.

“Tell me about your mother,” Xu Zimo asked.

He felt this matter was becoming more and more interesting.

The Human Sovereign’s disappeared disciple.

And Luo Mingyue’s mother, how did she come to possess this token?

“My mother wasn’t willing to mention past matters,” Luo Mingyue thought and explained.

“I only know my mother once lived in the Luo Clan for a time. Later, when I was about to be born, she suddenly left the Luo Clan and lived in seclusion in the mountains. Not until her death did she tell me these things. Before then, I didn’t even know my relationship with this Luo Clan.”

“Seems your mother didn’t want any connection with this Luo Clan,” Xu Zimo smiled.

After chatting briefly with Luo Mingyue, he didn’t obtain any useful information.

Xu Zimo was thinking he should go to the Human Sovereign Palace early to take a look.

So at dusk, Xu Zimo left the Luo Clan alone.

According to what Mortal Sovereign said earlier, the place where the Human Sovereign Palace inheritance appeared should be at Mist City.

Xu Zimo’s speed was very fast.

Departing that evening, by the next morning dawn, he had already reached Mist City’s location.

The spirit energy of heaven and earth was very rich here.

Ordinary people couldn’t see it, but Xu Zimo could see a special energy shooting into the sky.

This special energy should be the so-called Awe-Inspiring Righteousness.

The Human Sovereign had taught without discrimination for so many years. His Human Sovereign Palace had long nurtured Awe-Inspiring Righteousness.

Xu Zimo arrived before the Human Sovereign Palace.

This place was a desert.

No flowers, grass, or trees around.

In this desert, a palace suddenly appeared, particularly abrupt.

Moreover, around the palace, fierce winds continuously blew.

This wasn’t ordinary wind, mixed within should be the corrosive poisonous mist.

Even if a Saint Sovereign encountered it, they’d probably dissolve into pus.

Only Infinite Dao cultivators could enter.

No wonder Mortal Sovereign hadn’t entered earlier but waited for the five great powers to come.

After all, in the Great Beyond, seemingly only the five great powers had Infinite Dao cultivators.

Around Xu Zimo, the power of annihilation surged.

He directly charged in.

Seemingly sensing the intruder, the raging winds around became even more violent.

In an instant, wind rose and clouds gathered, overwhelming everything.

As if wanting to bury heaven and earth.

Xu Zimo snorted coldly. Flames burned around him. Ordinary poisonous mist couldn’t survive in flames.

But what surprised Xu Zimo was

His Fire Primal Dao couldn’t eliminate this poisonous mist.

On his skin’s surface, countless dense black spots had already appeared.

Xu Zimo could feel his life force constantly fading.

Moreover, his internal organs also began to decay.

“Poisonous mist that consumes life?” Xu Zimo thought silently.

With a wave of his hand,

He directly brought out the Tree of Life.

The great tree emanating vast life force directly protected Xu Zimo’s surroundings, dispersing all poisonous mist.

Finally, walking out of the corrosive poisonous mist,

Only then could Xu Zimo see the palace’s full appearance clearly.

This palace was very plain, built with the most ordinary bricks and tiles.

Even the windows were ordinary glass.

Such a palace, if placed elsewhere, probably no one would notice it.

However, even if the palace was plain and dilapidated,

Because of the Awe-Inspiring Righteousness, it still gave people a feeling of greatness, of boundless learning.

Heaven’s movement is vigorous; the superior man strives continuously to strengthen himself. Earth’s condition is receptive; the superior man carries things with profound virtue.

Before the palace gate was this couplet.

Xu Zimo looked at the tightly closed gate.

At the gate entrance stood eighteen statues.

All identical statues.

Wearing black demon armor, each mighty and imposing, carrying intense battle intent.

When Xu Zimo stood before the statues, these eighteen demon statues began to move.

In their eyes, thick black mist surged.

Their movements were uniform, holding different weapons, swords, spears, staffs, and clubs.

“The Saint Palace cannot be randomly entered,” a grand voice came from the demon armor.

“One more step forward, kill without mercy.”

The Eighteen Demons began advancing forward, trying to force Xu Zimo back beyond the Human Sovereign Palace’s range.

Xu Zimo knew this would be a hard battle.

From these eighteen demon armors, all emanated Saint Sovereign power.

Eighteen Saint Sovereigns total.

He slowly drew Shadow Tyrant.

Blade light in his hand rioted. The surrounding void was as fragile as tofu.

Xu Zimo directly struck one blade at the demon armor, taking the initiative.

With a bang, Shadow Tyrant struck the demon armor, immediately sparks flew.

Yet the demon armor was completely undamaged.

“Kill, kill, kill!” The eighteen demon armors continuously roared.

“You can’t kill them like that,” suddenly a voice came from nearby.

“In the Human Sovereign Palace, a Weapon Saint once emerged. The weapons he forged, even Saint Sovereigns cannot pierce them. They’ve already reached the tempering of edict power.”

Hearing this voice, Xu Zimo suddenly turned his head.

There was someone here, yet he had just had no perception whatsoever.

Mortal Sovereign stood nearby with a light smile.

“It’s you,” Xu Zimo narrowed his eyes.

“Alas, why was it necessary? I originally didn’t want to expose my identity,” Mortal Sovereign shook his head.

He slowly raised his head, an evil smile on his face.

Blood light flashed in his eyes.

“Because those who know my identity must die!”

He pronounced the word “die” very heavily.

Xu Zimo paid no attention, instead saying indifferently, “Disciple of the Human Sovereign, you’re that disciple whose foundation was destroyed by the Otherworldly Demon Stone.”

“Seems you met that old man,” Mortal Sovereign said coldly.

“That thing should be in your hands.”

“You mean the jade token?” Xu Zimo asked.

“Hand it over,” Mortal Sovereign nodded.

“I can let you die more comfortably.”
