I Truly Am The Villian

Xu Zimei didn't stop him, he simply waved his hand.

The lit lamp in the room instantly transformed into a stream of light.

In a flash, it burned Li Xiaoyuan to ashes.

Xu Zimei turned his head to look at Xia Wanqing, who was lying on the bed, only unconscious, with no serious harm.

He then left the room.

In the following days, Xu Zimei had nothing to do and continued to cultivate in his room.

Until half a month later, when Xia Wanqing was set to depart for the Qianniu Taoist Court, and Xu Zimei also finished packing and left together with her.

During this time, the Jiwei Sect actively came forward to seek peace, wishing for the two sects to reconcile.

At the time of departure, all the disciples of the Heaven Martial Sect came to see them off.

Xu Zimei rode the Seven-Winged Demon Dragon, and Xia Wanqing rode the Thundercloud Horse, heading towards the Qianniu Taoist Court.

Along the way, they had to pass through several cities.

The two traveled dusty roads, and for Xu Zimei, it was his first time exploring this world since coming to this Mortal Domain.

Not only the Galaxy and Sunset Empire, but along the way, they also encountered several other empires.

Among them were some even stronger Imperial Cities.

That day, the sky was dim, dense clouds gathered, seemingly a sign of impending rain.

They arrived at the border of the Linlong Dynasty.

The dark wind blew, stirring up ripples in the horizon.

In the fierce wind, the two slowly came to a halt.

Of course, they didn't stop because of the wind, but due to the combat not far ahead.

A dozen men in black were attacking a young man.

Dozens of bodies already lay on the ground nearby.

And the young man seemed to be in grave danger, unable to hold out much longer.

The dozen or so men in black robes intensified their attacks, akin to a fierce storm.

Dust rose, and the young man's staggering form fell into the yellow sand.

"Save me, I am the Crown Prince of the Linlong Dynasty, I will repay your great kindness," the young man looked towards Xu Zimei, as if seeing hope for survival.

He cried out loudly.

The group of men in black exchanged glances.

One of them said indifferently: "Leave no survivors, kill."

His hoarse voice dropped, and then half of the men in black charged towards Xu Zimei.

"It's up to you," Xu Zimei said to the Seven-Winged Demon Dragon beneath him, giving an order.

The Seven-Winged Demon Dragon roared, and then everyone saw clearly that the Monster Beast under the young man was a being of the Saint Vein Realm.

Everyone's faces drastically changed, wanting to dodge but it was already too late.

The seven wings behind swiftly flapped, filling the air with a storm of yellow sand.

The gathered dust storm exploded.

With a "boom", the bodies of those dozen men in black flew out.

Some were directly torn into shreds by the dust storm.

"Save me, Lord Qianchou," the leader of the group in black yelled out.

As the Seven-Winged Demon Dragon continued to roar, suddenly a gigantic hand extended from the void.

A dense Divine Vein Realm might enveloped the area.

It immediately suppressed the Seven-Winged Demon Dragon in place.

However, the gigantic hand merely suppressed it momentarily, then disappeared without a trace.

Xu Zimei looked up and saw that unknowingly, a Daoist had appeared in the firmament.

He seemed to have walked out from a Daoist Court, with the sound of the Great Dao entwining around him, his black hair flowing like silky threads, imparting an air of an old Daoist with a profound demeanor.

Zhang Qianchou lowered his head, he did not care about the Seven-Winged Demon Dragon, instead, he turned his gaze to Xu Zimei.

"Your Excellency, we mean no offense."

Zhang Qianchou could not see through Xu Zimei, but anyone who could use a Monster Beast of the Saint Vein Realm as a mount must at least be a Divine Vein powerhouse like himself.

Hence, Zhang Qianchou displayed no arrogance.

He continued, "You may leave, the servants are ignorant."

Xu Zimei glanced at him with a light chuckle, responding, "You should come down and speak; I dislike others standing too high and looking down at me."

As his words fell, he reached out his right hand towards the void.

Zhang Qianchou felt an unrivaled force assault him.

Followed by the void shattering, his figure fell to the ground without any force to hold him.

"Save me, please," the young man from before shouted again.

"I can pay any price."

"Who are you?" Xu Zimei turned to Zhang Qianchou and asked.

"They are people of the Ancient Path. I was originally planning to go to Qianniu Taoist Court for studies but was ambushed en route," the young man rushed to reply.

"Ancient Path," Xu Zimei muttered to himself.

Perhaps fearing Xu Zimei was unaware, Xia Wanqing explained from the side: "The Ancient Path, apart from the Holy Hall, is the most powerful organization in the entire Mortal Domain.

Their origins are mysterious, and everything about them is unknown.

Generally, they take people's money to eliminate disasters and are assassins for hire."

"I initially did not intend to save him, but seeing them displeasing to the eyes, begone," Xu Zimei waved his hand.

"Your Excellency, we bear you no ill will," Zhang Qianchou replied.

"Is it that you bear no ill will towards me, or is it because you saw my strength that you bear no ill will?" Xu Zimei retorted.

Zhang Qianchou was slightly at a loss for words.

"Since you know of the Ancient Path, you should also be aware of the consequences of crossing us," Zhang Qianchou said somewhat reluctantly.

It's usually difficult to kill the Crown Prince of the Linlong Dynasty.

This mission was under his charge and he had finally got an opportunity; he was reluctant to give it up so easily.

"Are you threatening me?" Xu Zimei chuckled lightly.

He said, "I don't need to know my consequences, but yours won't be good."

"Your Excellency, I…" Before Zhang Qianchou could finish his sentence, Xu Zimei's right hand had already risen.

With a flick of his fingers, Zhang Qianchou was instantly nailed in the void, limbs spread out.

"Go back and tell your Ancient Path, the man I killed is named Xu Zimei, let them come find me," Xu Zimei said coolly to the stunned man in black clothes beside him.

"Ah...," The man in black clothes was stunned for a long while, then came back to his senses.

Then he quickly fled towards the distance.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for saving my life," the young man from before hurriedly came forward to thank him.

"I am the Crown Prince Lin Yunhen of the Linlong Dynasty."

"I didn't save you, I just found them annoying," Xu Zimei replied indifferently.

"Did you say just now you were going to Qianniu Taoist Court?" Xia Wanqing spoke up.

"Could you two be nobles of the Qianniu Taoist Court?" Lin Yunhen quickly nodded and asked.

"We are also headed to Qianniu Taoist Court," Xia Wanqing shook her head and replied.

"Then we could travel together," Lin Yunhen quickly suggested.

"Should there be any problems along the way, I can serve you both, and my identity can solve many troubles."

"Are you sure you're not bringing us trouble?" Xu Zimei asked.

"Not at all, from here onwards, it's all the territory of the Linlong Dynasty, my identity is very useful here," Lin Yunhen assured with confidence.

Xu Zimei was indifferent.

But after thinking it over, since Xia Wanqing was going to Qianniu Taoist Court alone, having a companion might be better.
