I Truly Am The Villian - Chapter 2589

Chapter 2589: Chapter 2588: The Zhou Di Clan Demands Justice and Proposes a Marriage Alliance

For this type of family Teleportation Array, it was the first time Xu Zimei had seen one.

The technology of small-scale Teleportation Arrays is not complex; the main focus is on speed and efficiency.

It can be seen that there are quite a few of these Teleportation Arrays in the Xuntian Mansion.

Wherever one wants to go, they can directly take it.

However, at this moment, Xu Zimei was cautious.

He pointed to the Black Mountain Old Demon and Old Zhang behind him, addressing the elder before him.

He said, “These two are my newly acquired servants on this trip.”

“They are of great use, take them to my residence.”

In fact, Xu Zimei did not know where Jiang Rui’s residence was.

So he could use this trick to avoid being exposed.

Let the Black Mountain Old Demon and Old Zhang investigate first.

The elder nodded slightly, without suspicion.

After escorting Xu Zimei to the front of the grand hall, he specially reminded him.

“Young Clan Leader, don’t make the Clan Leader angry again this time.”

“Your few younger brothers are eyeing the position aggressively.”

In such a large mansion of the Xuntian Clan, the competition to become the Young Clan Leader is fierce.

Especially since the Clan Leader is not a one-child parent.

It has a feeling similar to the struggle for royal succession among nine dragons.

But Xu Zimei didn’t feel much about it; it was irrelevant to him.

Whether he could become Young Clan Leader was not important to him.

His current priority was to understand the layout of the Xuntian Mansion and locate the position of the Innate Bead.

At this moment, Xu Zimei looked at the large hall ahead.

The hall was about as tall as a ten-story building.

It was adorned with bronze and black iron, appearing ancient yet grand and solemn.

At the entrance of the hall, two giant Exotic Beasts lay there.

Their bodies resembled a Kylin, and their heads resembled those of Zhu Long, appearing mighty, making every passerby tread carefully.

The eyes of the Exotic Beasts seemed to pierce through one’s heart.

Xu Zimei swaggered into the hall.

Upon entering.

He first saw the location of the great hall.

Inside was spacious and impressively decorated.

The walls were adorned with seemingly valuable calligraphies and paintings.

The tables were made of millennium-old gold-threaded nanmu, purple sandalwood, and agarwood.

Simple yet not crude, imparting a sense of understated luxury.

In the hall, there were a dozen or so people.

These dozen people were divided into two factions.

They were easy to distinguish, primarily by their clothing.

One faction wore robes with white cloud patterns, primarily in white and gold, with elegant solid colors as accents.

The other faction predominantly wore black-purple robes.

Black took up half the design but wasn’t pure black; it was ink-like.

Purple patterns served as highlights, resembling a sunset’s brilliant purple hue.

Those with black-purple attire should be from the Xuntian Clan.

Xu Zimei had seen many such people in this mansion.

So he could guess easily.

As for the people in white-gold attire, Xu Zimei did not recognize them.

These two factions were currently engaged in talks.

Upon seeing Xu Zimei enter, the middle-aged man sitting at the head immediately stood up.

He slammed the table fiercely.

The middle-aged man had a thick beard and a square face, exuding an aura of authority even without showing anger.

“Unfilial son, you still know how to come back; I thought you had died outside.”

This middle-aged man was the current Clan Leader of the Xuntian Clan.

He was known as Jiang Shoutian.

He had occupied this position for ten thousand years.

From a cultivator’s perspective, ten thousand years is not a particularly long time.

However, under Jiang Shoutian’s leadership, the Xuntian Clan grew increasingly stronger and prospered.

His position as Clan Leader was very secure.

“Father, you start berating as soon as we meet; don’t you have a reason?” Xu Zimei said.

He could tell from the elder’s words that Jiang Rui often quarreled with Jiang Shoutian.

Hence, the elder advised Xu Zimei not to provoke the Clan Leader this time.

Given this, Xu Zimei naturally had to act according to his character, as being overly timid would expose him.

“You still won’t admit it. Let me ask you, was it you who caused the issue with the Qinglian Clan?” Jiang Shoutian asked furiously.

“What Qinglian Clan? I don’t know them,” Xu Zimei waved it off.

Upon hearing this, before Jiang Shoutian could respond.

A woman in a white cloud-patterned robe stepped forward.

She said calmly, “Clan Leader Jiang, given your esteemed status, would you dare to act but not acknowledge it?”

“The Qinglian Clan is a subordinate force of our Zhou Di Clan, and now that you have infringed upon their Saintess, how do you think we should handle this?”

“There’s no need for excuses. Many witnessed it firsthand, so let’s not engage in meaningless debates.”

From this woman’s words, Xu Zimei understood.

This was undoubtedly Jiang Rui’s wrongdoing.

Originally, he was oppressive, and ordinary people would not dare to speak up, even if incensed.

But the Qinglian Clan was in good relations with the Zhou Di Clan, serving as their subordinate force.

Furthermore, the Zhou Di Clan was arguably the only power capable of contending with the Xuntian Clan at Sky View Corner.

Upon learning about this, they were understandably furious and came to demand justice from Jiang Rui.

No matter how one viewed it, the nature of this matter was vile.

If the Zhou Di Clan did not take action, others might think they feared the Xuntian Clan.

Thus, for the sake of Zhou Di Clan’s dignity and to appease their subordinates.

They had to step forward.

“Then what do you want?” Xu Zimei retorted.

He didn’t want to dwell on this matter; resolving it quickly was best.

“Clan Leader Jiang, since he admitted it, I think the marriage arrangement with our clan’s Saintess should be annulled, don’t you think?”

The woman looked at Jiang Shoutian and asked back.

It was evident that their intention went beyond concern for the Saintess of the Qinglian Clan.

The primary motive was related to their own Saintess of the Zhou Di Clan.

Xu Zimei suddenly recalled.

Jia Quan previously mentioned that the original owner planned to give the Reincarnation Scripture to the Old Lady, hoping to gain her consent for marrying the Zhou Di Clan’s Saintess.

It seems there’s a story here!

At this moment, Jiang Shoutian also felt a bit caught in a dilemma.

He gave Xu Zimei a look of disappointment, as if seeing steel that wouldn’t turn into a blade.

He then slowly sat down.

Scolding or beating at this moment would not help.

He said, “The marriage alliance between our Xuntian and Zhou Di Clans was established as far back as our ancestor’s time.”

“Are you now saying you want to go back on this agreement?”

“Clan Leader Jiang, it’s not that we’re reneging; do you think our Saintess should marry someone like this?”

The woman continued her inquiry.

“Why rush? I am not limited to just this one son,” Jiang Shoutian directly replied.

“You may pick any of my other sons.”

“Choose whichever one catches your fancy.”

Upon hearing Jiang Shoutian’s response, the woman wanted to speak again, but an elder beside her stopped her.

This elder was the person in charge of the Zhou Di Clan’s delegation this time.
