I Truly Am The Villian - Chapter 2595

Chapter 2595: Chapter 2594: The Atmosphere of the Birthday Banquet, Ancient Library Executives

Although this kind of Illusion Technique couldn’t fool Xu Zimei,

That Sky Poison Demon from just now hadn’t noticed anything at all.

You could only say those people were terribly unlucky; running into Xu Zimei meant their luck had completely run out.

Watching the bustling crowd, Xu Zimei wasn’t in a hurry to leave either.

This time when he came out, he hadn’t brought Old Zhang and the Black Mountain Old Demon along.

It was precisely so the two of them could stay in Xuntian Mansion long-term and help him gather the latest information.

At this moment, Xu Zimei adjusted his condition a bit.

Then he stumbled in a panic and ran toward Xuntian Mansion.

Setting aside those assassins for now, just the death of the Sky Poison Demon alone required an explanation.

Xu Zimei didn’t want to expose his identity.

He needed to muddle through this.

This street wasn’t far from Xuntian Mansion, so after just a few breaths of running, Xu Zimei had already seen Xuntian Mansion.

These people dared to commit murder at such a close distance.

It was exactly the “darkness under the lamp” principle.

Probably even the Xuntian clan people hadn’t expected the culprits’ daring to reach this level.

……

At this time, when Xu Zimei staggered to the Xuntian Mansion,

The guards at the gate of Xuntian Mansion immediately noticed him.

“Young Clan Leader, are you all right?”

The two of them turned pale, and hurriedly helped the fallen Xu Zimei up.

Xu Zimei quickly said, “Hurry, someone tried to assassinate me, on the main street up ahead—go check it out.”

After saying this, Xu Zimei directly fainted.

As for those two guards, one supported Xu Zimei while the other went in to report the news.

Immediately after, the entire Xuntian Mansion erupted into chaos.

Countless experts stepped into the air from within.

Xu Zimei was brought to a room where specialists were assigned to treat him.

Xu Zimei had faked his injuries a bit.

At this time, Jiang Shoutian looked at the physician and asked, “How is he?”

“Just some minor injuries. He probably fainted because he was too frightened.”

The physician explained.

“He’ll be fine after resting for a while.”

At this moment, Xu Zimei slowly woke up.

“Rui’er, are you all right?”

Jiang Shoutian quickly asked.

Xu Zimei was a bit dazed and only came back to himself after a good while.

He hurriedly said, “Go save them, someone tried to kill me.”

“Don’t worry, you’re safe now. This is our Xuntian Mansion; no one can hurt you here,” Jiang Shoutian said quickly.

Only then did Xu Zimei let out a breath of relief.

“Rui’er, tell me in detail what exactly happened?” Jiang Shoutian asked.

“I don’t really remember. I just know that when we got to a street, people suddenly appeared from all directions to kill me.”

“But the Sky Poison Demon was very strong. He shielded me, so things were still under control.”

“Then all of a sudden, someone extremely fast appeared, wearing a mask.”

“The Sky Poison Demon wasn’t his match, so he used all his strength to send me out of there.”

Xu Zimei summarized tersely.

“After that I came back to the mansion to ask for help, and the rest you all know.”

“A masked man…” Jiang Shoutian muttered to himself.

In truth, after Xu Zimei came to ask for help, the experts of the Xuntian clan all rushed over to support.

But when they arrived at the scene, they only found traces of battle, and not a single corpse.

Because all those people had been devoured by Xu Zimei’s Black Hole, there were naturally no remains left.

But the Xuntian clan people clearly misunderstood.

They believed that someone had attacked Xu Zimei and, after it was over, wiped out all the traces at the scene.

So this incident caused an uproar throughout Xuntian Mansion.

Given the status of Xuntian Mansion,

The mere fact that someone dared provoke Xuntian Mansion was already extremely serious.

This time it even involved the Young Clan Leader.

This was already an open and brazen assault.

So Xuntian Mansion had to find the mastermind behind this incident no matter what.

Then strike them down with overwhelming force, in order to protect their Young Clan Leader and the reputation of Xuntian Mansion.

But this time, the opponent had moved far too silently.

They hadn’t even left a single corpse behind.

Leaving them with nowhere to start their investigation.

“Seal off the entire Sky View Corner for me. This time I’m going to investigate thoroughly.

We can’t miss even the tiniest clue.”

Jiang Shoutian said angrily.

“Clan Leader, the Old Lady’s birthday banquet is in a few days. If we make too big a fuss this time…”

Someone beside him advised.

Everything had to revolve around the birthday banquet.

At this critical juncture, they shouldn’t create additional problems.

No matter how big the matter, it had to be pressed down for now.

Hearing the person next to him, Jiang Shoutian fell silent for a moment.

He felt that perhaps, as far as the killer was concerned, the other side also knew about this situation.

Maybe they were precisely trying to take advantage of this birthday banquet, to make him afraid to act too recklessly.

“Are our intelligence departments all useless?” Jiang Shoutian said through gritted teeth.

“The intelligence department’s first target was the Purple Beast Sect, but with the Purple Beast Sect’s strength, it’s absolutely impossible for them to pull this off.”

Someone beside him explained.

Jiang Shoutian let out a cold snort.

He said, “Whether it’s the Purple Beast Sect or not, this matter must end with them.”

“I understand, I’ll immediately arrange for people to exterminate them,” the person next to him said hastily.

He had been by Jiang Shoutian’s side for many years.

So with just a casual remark from Jiang Shoutian, he understood what the other meant.

This time, during the Old Lady’s birthday banquet, it was indeed inappropriate to make too big a move.

Besides, they would find it hard to locate the killer in a short time.

And since the Xuntian clan needed to establish their might,

The Purple Beast Sect was a perfect target.

“Rui’er, don’t worry, this matter won’t just end like this.”

Jiang Shoutian said.

“Even if we don’t pursue it openly, the investigation in secret will not stop.”

“Once we get a lead, they will definitely suffer our Thunderbolt wrath.”

Xu Zimei nodded slightly.

In fact, the killer was already dead; he was just finding a good excuse for the Sky Poison Demon’s death.

Over the next few days, the entire Xuntian Mansion appeared busy.

The whole mansion was decked out with lanterns and decorations.

Even the roads throughout Sky View Corner were shrouded in large red lanterns.

The atmosphere of the birthday banquet swept through all of Sky View Corner.

After all, whether for the Xuntian clan or the Zhou Di clan, the Old Lady’s birthday banquet was treated with the utmost seriousness.

Xu Zimei also took some time to make a trip to the Ancient Library.

Originally, the clan was against him going out again.

Given this sensitive time, if he ran into another assassination attempt, he might not be so fortunate.

But Xu Zimei’s attitude was very firm.

Plus, there were several experts secretly protecting him.

In the end, the clan could only agree.

……

Inside the Ancient Library.

Now that Xu Zimei’s identity was the Young Clan Leader of the Xuntian clan,

He could directly meet the upper echelon of the Ancient Library.

The other party was an old man dressed in a purple robe.

His hair and beard were completely white, but his bearing was powerful, and his eyes were bright and penetrating.
