I Truly Am The Villian - Chapter 2575

Chapter 2575: Chapter 2574: Ancient Gods and the Night in the Heavenly Burial Grounds

Xu Zimei hated cleaning up other people’s mess the most.

Old Zhang thought nobody wanted things like Innate Beads.

So, when he collected them, he didn’t hide it at all.

In the end, it was all for nothing.

One could say that given Old Zhang’s abilities, those Innate Beads were not coming back.

Thus, Xu Zimei had to step in personally.

It’s troublesome, and Xu Zimei remained calm, not killing Old Zhang right then was already pretty polite.

Upon hearing Xu Zimei’s words, Old Zhang lowered his head even further.

He dared not refute him in the slightest.

After all, the imprint inside his body remained, his life and death were in Xu Zimei’s hands at any time.

“In consideration of the bone jade you just presented, I spare your life.”

After a long while, Xu Zimei said lightly.

Old Zhang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Earlier, without realizing it, even his clothes were drenched with sweat.

“Tell me, who took those Innate Beads?” Xu Zimei asked.

“The Sky Patrol Tribe, they’re one of the powers in Sky View Corner.”

Old Zhang quickly gave a rundown of the basic situation.

The Sky Patrol Tribe’s power is vast, especially with their third-generation ancestors still alive.

In Sky View Corner, apart from the Day Earth Tribe, everyone must show them respect.

Xu Zimei furrowed his brows slightly and asked again, “What is the relationship between the Day Earth Tribe and the Sky Patrol Tribe?”

“If we wipe out the Sky Patrol Tribe, will they help?”

“Well…”

Old Zhang pondered for a moment.

He said, “Their relations are poor, because of the territorial ownership in Sky View Corner, the two tribes often clash.”

“But I’ve heard from side gossip that the two tribes seem to have a connection.”

“I dare not say much about specifics.”

Xu Zimei turned his gaze to the Black Mountain Old Demon.

The Black Mountain Old Demon quickly spoke, “Lord, the two tribes were once one long ago.”

“They’re transformed from the Cosmic Primordial Essence of Sky View Corner.”

“Later, after transforming, the heavens and earth couldn’t coexist, thus came the terms Sky Patrol and Day Earth.”

“Though the two tribes have conflicts of interest, I believe there’s still some ties remaining.

That’s worth taking into account.”

Xu Zimei raised his head and put back the book he was holding.

“I wanted to keep a low profile, but trouble doesn’t allow for it.”

Xu Zimei stood up and walked towards the outside.

“Lord, are you going to the Sky Patrol Tribe?” The Black Mountain Old Demon quickly asked.

“Yes,” Xu Zimei replied calmly.

“But more than the Sky Patrol Tribe, I’m curious about why they are seizing those Innate Beads.”

It’s known that before, Old Zhang mentioned.

The Innate Beads, although containing astonishing power.

But this power is fundamentally unusable.

It cannot be extracted from the Innate Beads.

That’s why, until now, the value of the Innate Beads is not considered high.

However, this time, the Sky Patrol Tribe unusually collected a large number of Innate Beads aggressively.

This implies that the other side might have mastered certain methods.

To extract energy from the Innate Beads.

That’s why Xu Zimei became more interested in this matter.

On hearing Xu Zimei’s words, Old Zhang immediately realized.

He had not paid attention to this point before.

Indeed, the value of Innate Beads is not high, why are they after them?

“Do you mean, we should not alarm them first and sneak in quietly.”

“Wait until we find the answers before taking action?”

This Old Zhang understood quickly.

He grasped Xu Zimei’s intentions from his few words.

Xu Zimei uses the Law of Void to absorb Origin Power.

But certainly, this Law of Void isn’t commonly available.

Xu Zimei doesn’t believe the other side possesses this ability.

“Lord, what about the King’s Collection?” Black Mountain Old Demon asked from the side.

“Not an issue. We shall make it quick,” Xu Zimei replied.

“But the defense of the Sky Patrol Tribe is tight, it’s hard for us to sneak in,” Old Zhang worried.

“Then find out if there’s an opportunity to get in,” Xu Zimei said.

Old Zhang quickly nodded.

His channels are pretty broad, and his contacts are competent.

Though he doesn’t know significant figures, he knows a bit about all walks of life from the lower strata.

At this point, Old Zhang said, “Lord, I’ll go and get some information now, and not disturb you here.”

Xu Zimei nodded.

Seeing Old Zhang leave, Xu Zimei raised his head to look outside as it started to turn dark.

In the Cosmic lands, there’s actually no concept of day and night.

Because the Cosmic scenery remains unchanged for ages.

However, the Heavenly Burial Grounds are peculiar.

This realm seems to have remnants of the Old Sun and Moon.

Thus, it has the concept of day and night.

“Find a place to stay; night at the Heavenly Burial Grounds is unsafe,” Black Mountain Old Demon said.

What’s the most profitable venture here at the Heavenly Burial Grounds?

Many might be unsure.

May have many conflicting opinions.

But when it comes to longevity.

It definitely is running a Protection Inn.

Because at night in the Heavenly Burial Grounds, all sorts of strangeness appear.

They are like remnants of the Old Days.

These strangeness cannot be obliterated.

For their existence is inherently dead.

However, strangeness won’t randomly harm humans, they adhere to rules.

As long as within the rules, any strangeness is harmless.

But once anyone violates the rules, they are sure to die.

Even the most powerful cultivators suffer immensely within the strangeness.

Xu Zimei feels indifferent towards the strangeness.

He can’t understand such rule-bound entities.

With Black Mountain Old Demon leading the way, they walked onto the busy street.

At this moment, the pedestrians on the street hurriedly searched for sanctuary inns.

Xu Zimei and his companion walked quite a bit, many sanctuary inns were already full.

Luckily, there was one sanctuary inn with available rooms.

Xu Zimei raised his head to take a look.

This sanctuary inn had a peculiar shape, resembling a large pig.

The inn’s entrance happened to be at the pig’s mouth.

The pig looked vivid, as if it could come to life at any moment.

Seeing Xu Zimei’s puzzlement, Black Mountain Old Demon explained from the side.

“Lord, these sanctuary inns differ from regular ones.”

“They require the consent of the Ancient Gods to establish, only then will the strangeness refrain from forcing entry.”

“What are the Ancient Gods?” Xu Zimei asked.

“Lord should have seen the Way of Inquiry of the old beings today, which focuses on Contemplation.”

“And some of the old strong figures turn themselves into objects of contemplation, transforming into deities envisioned by the masses.”

Black Mountain Old Demon explained.

“Discovered and explored in the Heavenly Burial Grounds, some deities inside are gradually awakening.”

“However, they are already dead; only fragments of their consciousness remain.”
