I Truly Am The Villian - Chapter 2585

Chapter 2585: Chapter 2584: Special Scriptures, Hu Ben’s Heroes

Right after that, besides the black light, waves of scripture chanting voices also emerged.

Off to the side, Black Mountain Old Demon’s eyes had already turned blurry.

He actually began following along with the Buddha Sutra, doing some strange movements.

Jia Quan hurriedly reminded from nearby.

“Mr. Jiang, quickly give this Serenity Jade to your servant.”

“Otherwise, once this Scripture starts circulating, he’ll definitely die without a doubt.”

As Jia Quan spoke, he handed over two pieces of ancient jade, jet-black through and through.

Xu Zimei glanced at the ancient jade.

Taking the jade, he could clearly feel a very special power inside it.

It wasn’t about how strong or weak this power was.

Rather, this power seemed very repulsive toward the power of that Scripture.

Precisely because of this repulsion, as long as one held this ancient jade, the Scripture’s power wouldn’t be able to erode their body.

Xu Zimei himself didn’t particularly care.

He simply wasn’t afraid of the influence of this kind of power.

Putting it bluntly, this power to him was nothing more than a side dish.

But Black Mountain Old Demon clearly couldn’t manage.

He couldn’t resist this kind of power.

Xu Zimei then shoved the ancient jade into Black Mountain Old Demon’s palm.

As soon as the jade touched his hand, Black Mountain Old Demon’s bizarre movements stopped at once.

There was still a trace of confusion in his eyes.

“What just happened to me?”

“Your mind was being corroded by this Scripture. If Mr. Jiang hadn’t saved you, I’m afraid by now you’d have already become nourishment for the Scripture.”

Jia Quan said from the side.

Xu Zimei, however, didn’t bother with their conversation.

He looked at the Scripture inside the box.

It was hard to believe what kind of book this was, that even before seeing its body, such a phenomenon would appear.

Anyone with slightly weaker cultivation would have their mind affected.

Xu Zimei looked at the Scripture inside.

On the black book cover were dense, tadpole-like characters.

He actually didn’t recognize this kind of script either.

It seemed to be writing from the Ancient Universe.

Although he couldn’t read it, Xu Zimei could still sense the evil artistic conception contained within.

This left Xu Zimei somewhat puzzled.

The Old Lady’s grand birthday celebration.

Normally speaking, one should send auspicious, joyous gifts; that would be best.

But this Scripture was so sinister—would the Old Lady like it?

Yet seeing the utterly confident look on Jia Quan’s face,

Xu Zimei couldn’t just directly ask.

So he changed angles.

He said, “I wonder how the gifts from my younger brothers are.”

“Whether they can measure up to mine.”

“Mr. Jiang, rest assured, this Reincarnation Scripture is a General Level Scripture.

Unless someone can bring out an item at King Collection Level to accompany it, it’s impossible to overshadow you.”

Jia Quan said with a smile.

“But as for how precious a King Collection Level item is, Mr. Jiang should already know, so I won’t say more.”

Xu Zimei thought it over, then said,

“You did well with this matter.”

“How about this: for this birthday celebration, you’ll accompany me.”

After all, Xu Zimei didn’t know anyone else.

When something came up, he could also have Jia Quan stand in.

And this was exactly the sentence Jia Quan had been waiting for.

He immediately dropped to his knees in a bow.

Bowing his head in submission, he said, “Your little servant Jia Quan is willing to go through fire and water for Mr. Jiang, without a single word of complaint.”

“Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for giving me this chance to follow you.”

Xu Zimei lifted his hand, signaling him to stand.

He then continued to ask, “Jia Quan, this young master doesn’t recognize this Scripture. Do you know where it can be translated?”

“Young master, our Xuntian clan has a dedicated institution for translating such things; they’re far more professional than outsiders,” Jia Quan quickly said.

It was clear he knew a bit about the Xuntian clan.

And at this point he was already calling it ‘our Xuntian clan.’

He slipped into the role so fast that even Xu Zimei hadn’t expected it.

Truly, once a man abandons shame, he’s invincible.

“What do you know? If it’s translated within the residence, word will inevitably get out.”

“I don’t want this surprise to be revealed to the Old Lady ahead of time.”

Xu Zimei found an excuse and said.

Jia Quan suddenly understood.

He replied, “If you want to translate Ancient-era characters outside, then you’ll need the Ancient Library.”

“They’re very knowledgeable about many things from the Ancient era.”

“It’s just that this Reincarnation Scripture is so precious. If we have them translate it, it might get stolen.”

Xu Zimei pondered for a moment.

He suddenly came up with a pretty good idea.

But he couldn’t be bothered to explain it to Jia Quan.

He just waved his hand and said, “This young master still has matters to attend to. In a few days, when the birthday celebration comes, you can come to the estate and look for me.”

Jia Quan respectfully saw Xu Zimei off.

After taking the Scripture, Xu Zimei then found a secluded place together with Black Mountain Old Demon.

They transformed back into their original appearances.

Because the two of them still had another matter to attend to.

That was to go to Hu Ben Pass; regarding the King’s Collection matter from before, that Qiu Baiyin was still waiting.

…

Hu Ben Pass, as one of the most famous checkpoints in the Heavenly Burial Grounds,

Was one of the Sixteen Heavenly Passes.

The Hu Ben’s Heroes here were the most renowned.

They were both gate guardians and, in a sense, a kind of trial.

If you couldn’t even defeat Hu Ben’s Heroes, then going to the Heavenly Burial Grounds was nothing but courting death.

Therefore, no matter when, Hu Ben Pass was always thronged with people.

Led by Black Mountain Old Demon,

Xu Zimei quickly arrived before Hu Ben Pass.

Near Hu Ben Pass, countless people had gathered here.

Because of the sheer number of people, even a large-scale market had formed.

In the void, two Giants clad in armor stood towering between heaven and earth.

One Giant wielded an axe, the other a halberd-like yue.

They were the very picture of imposing might.

One body glowed with golden light, the other with black light.

Gold and black clashed against each other,

Splitting heaven and earth in two.

At this moment, whenever anyone tried to pass through Hu Ben Pass, these two Giants would come to life, as if awakened, and attack directly.

Of course, not every entry into Hu Ben Pass required facing this trial.

If it was your first time entering, you had to face it.

But if you had come before and passed Hu Ben Pass’s trial,

Then on subsequent visits you no longer needed to be tested again.

It showed that this guy called Qiu Baiyin was actually quite cautious.

To make sure Xu Zimei and the others weren’t newcomers, he had deliberately chosen such a place.

At this moment, Qiu Baiyin was waiting for Xu Zimei at the gate.

With Qiu Baiyin were several other people.

Qiu Baiyin waved to Xu Zimei and Black Mountain Old Demon.

Once they met up, he began introducing everyone to one another.

This time, besides himself, Qiu Baiyin had found four different helpers.

One of them was Xu Zimei.

The other three were:

One was a veiled man wearing a bamboo hat,

Who called himself Qingsong Daoist.

Another was a woman in a red robe, looking full of allure,

Who called herself You Jin.

The last was a burly man holding a chained greatsaber.

This big man’s unusual feature was that he had two heads.

And they were exactly the same.

Each head even had its own independent thinking ability.

They each possessed control over half of the body.
