I Truly Am The Villian - Chapter 1955: 1954: Dark Dragon Venerable, Coveted by All Sides

Capítulo 1955: Chapter 1954: Dark Dragon Venerable, Coveted by All Sides

Perhaps the bone knife still harbors ambitions, hoping to once again partake in that Heaven Challenge battle.

Thus, in the end, it was willing to submit to Xu Zimei.

But it did not expect to be refused.

This left the bone knife somewhat disheartened; perhaps if it doesn’t meet another master like Xu Zimei, it will never emerge again.

Famed blades should never gather dust.

Even if they must emerge, it should be with grandeur, wielded by a heroic leader.

The bone knife departed, the stone forest was destroyed, and the onlookers around suffered heavy casualties.

Xu Zimei looked at the Legacy Jade Pendant in his hand.

The eyes of those remaining were filled with greed.

Even knowing Xu Zimei’s formidable strength, the lure of the Emperor Lu’s legacy was too great.

With the Legacy Jade Pendant, one could rise to prominence and change their fate.

“Interested in the Jade Pendant, are you?” Xu Zimei hung the Legacy Jade Pendant on his wrist, smiling as he asked.

Those around hastily nodded.

Some swallowed nervously, and someone boldly said, “You killed the Young Master Yin-Yang and offended the Acacia cult.

You won’t live long.

Why not give us the Legacy Jade Pendant, to prevent it from falling into the hands of the Acacia cult.”

“You’re quite the dreamers,” Xu Zimei said.

He put away the Legacy Jade Pendant and then headed towards Victory City.

The two guards at the city gate continued their watch.

“Do I now have the eligibility to enter Victory City?” Xu Zimei asked.

“Naturally, yes. Letting you dissipate your killing aura, who would’ve thought you even subdued the bone knife,” the man on the left holding a sword laughed.

“How about a business deal?”

“Your Western Dragon Sect wants the Emperor Lu’s legacy too?” Xu Zimei asked with interest.

Actually, he didn’t need to ask; he already knew what the Western Dragon Sect was thinking.

After all, besides the Emperor Lu’s legacy, it seemed he had no other dealings with them.

“Have you considered the consequences of killing that Young Master Yin-Yang?” the man on the left nodded and asked.

“I can bear the consequences myself, no need for this transaction,” Xu Zimei waved his hand.

“All right then, if one day you reconsider, our Western Dragon Sect can mediate for you,” the man laughed.

As Xu Zimei walked into the city, the right-side man, who had been silent from the start, spoke up.

“Really leaving the legacy with him?

If the Acacia cult obtains it, the damage would be great.”

“Don’t worry, he can’t hold onto that legacy. When the time comes, heroes will rise and surely divide it.

I fear he doesn’t even know the importance of the Emperor Lu’s legacy yet.”

The man on the left replied.

“We don’t need to be the ones who stand out, let’s speak based on our abilities when the time comes.

I have already contacted the Eight Ming Kings; if any are nearby, they will arrive soon.”

“That’s good, I was worried that the two of us wouldn’t be able to handle the current situation.

With the Ming Kings here, at least we will have confidence.”

Their conversation was not loud, but Xu Zimei heard it as he walked away.

“Divide me?”

He chuckled.

Then he said, “Rats and ants can only nibble at the dead; no matter their numbers, they are just ants.”

He paid them no mind.

Xu Zimei came to Victory City, firstly to witness this oldest place in East Hundred City.

To see if he could find clues related to the Empress.

Secondly, to help that white-haired man lure more people into the Mountains and Rivers Society Diagram.

Once he’d accomplished these tasks, Xu Zimei planned to make a trip to the Land of Chaos.

One of the seven protectors of the Demon Race, the Dark Overlord’s physical body was in his hands, yet the Divine Soul was supposedly with the Lord of Chaos.

Xu Zimei decided to meet the counterpart and see if he could revive the Dark Overlord.

After all, it was a former follower.

……

This Victory City was indeed vast and boundless.

As Xu Zimei walked, the eunuch who had previously introduced him to the bone knife hurried over from behind.

“Friend, please wait!”

“Why, are you interested in the legacy too?” Xu Zimei turned his head and asked.

“Who wouldn’t want Emperor Lu’s legacy? But I haven’t come for the legacy,” the eunuch smiled.

“You can call me Dark Dragon Venerable, we can consider ourselves acquainted.”

“Indeed, get to the point then,” Xu Zimei wasn’t one to beat around the bush.

“You are still a Loose Cultivator, right,” said Dark Dragon Venerable with a laugh.

“Considered a half Loose Cultivator. In this vast world, I am destined to roam, the path before me already shaped; I have no choice,” Xu Zimei said.

Some past events were best left unmentioned.

He had grown up in the True Martial Holy Sect, which in strict terms, was truly his home.

Unfortunately, the True Martial Holy Sect was in the Yuan Central Continent, while here was the Nine Domains, countless miles apart.

The main point being, entities from the Nine Domains cannot enter the Yuan Central Continent, or it would deal a devastating blow to the small world.

Though the Nine Domains also had a True Martial Holy Sect, it ultimately wasn’t his home.

No parents, no companions.

“If you are a Loose Cultivator, why not join us,” Dark Dragon Venerable suggested with a smile.

“Let me introduce myself first.

I belong to the Shadow Sect.

Our sect is divided into the Dark and Shadow branches.

The Dark specializes in intelligence, the Shadow in assassination.

We are the foremost assassin force in the world; as for those who are bounties, be they major sect ancestors or imperial sovereigns, we have all taken them down.

In addition, our Shadow Sect is one of the Nine Great Sovereigns in the East Dao City.

“It seems you have your own plans, bringing me into the church and you’ll have control over the Emperor Lu’s legacy too,” Xu Zimei laughed.

“No, no, the legacy’s fate is still up to you,” Dark Dragon Venerable quickly waved his hand.

“However, eventually, someone must receive the legacy.

The assassins of our Shadow branch are all cold-blooded, capable of killing without mercy.

Perhaps they are suited for the Emperor Lu’s legacy.”

“Moreover, joining our sect means you need not fear the Acacia cult.”

“Don’t even think about the legacy, I plan to place it in Jiaqing City,” Xu Zimei said.

“Jiaqing City?” Dark Dragon Venerable was taken aback.

“Doesn’t your Dark branch specialize in intelligence gathering? The Empress’s legacy has appeared in Jiaqing City, didn’t you know?” Xu Zimei replied.

“The Empress’s legacy?” Dark Dragon Venerable’s expression changed slightly.

He knew about the emergence of a treasure in Jiaqing City.

But when it came to the Empress, there wasn’t a bit of information.

Actually, it made sense.

After entering the Mountains and Rivers Society Diagram, no one else could leave.

Only Xu Zimei and Taoist Shiyan came out safely, so the spread of the news was not extensive, aside from the distant journey.

“How are you so certain that the legacy is connected to the Empress?” Dark Dragon Venerable asked cautiously.

Being able to gather intelligence, he naturally had the discernment.

He wouldn’t easily believe others.

“I came from Jiaqing City, how could I not know?

But now the legacy remains sealed, and the information is locked,” Xu Zimei said.

“Jiaqing City is the Human Emperor’s trump card, they are indeed quite ambitious, wanting to monopolize the legacy,” Dark Dragon Venerable snorted coldly.
