I Truly Am The Villian

"Sigh," Elder Bi sighed, knowing that this conflict had grown serious.

Qiao Huijun looked at Xu Zimei and his companion with a conflicted expression.

Clad in a white robe, he appeared graceful, with a folding fan engraved with magnificent landscapes hidden in the sleeve.

"Deputy Sect Master, should we..." someone beside him whispered.

"The Legacy Token is important," Elder Bi reminded.

"First, take out the Second Elder for treatment," Qiao Huijun instructed.

The disciples beside him hurriedly dragged the heavily injured body of the Second Elder from the ruins underground.

"Where's the token?" Qiao Huijun stepped forward and asked calmly.

"I can overlook the matter with the Second Elder, but the token must stay."

"Elder Bi, didn't you pass on what I told you?" Xu Zimei didn't even look at Qiao Huijun, instead he looked at Elder Bi and asked.

"I know you want to hand it to Sect Master Qi," Qiao Huijun followed up.

"But Sect Master Qi is at a critical moment in his meditation and cannot be disturbed. If something goes wrong, no one will bear the responsibility."

"Doesn't matter, I plan to stay at Haotian Sect for a while, I can wait," Xu Zimei said.

"And if Sect Master Qi never comes out of meditation?" Qiao Huijun asked again.

"If I'm leaving and Sect Master Qi hasn't come out, then this Legacy Token has nothing to do with your Haotian Sect," Xu Zimei said.

"Whether he can exit meditation is your problem, I'm not concerned."

"Actually, we don't need to be at each other's throats," Qiao Huijun suddenly smiled and said.

"I believe Young Master Xu can become an everlasting friend to Haotian Sect.

So, name your conditions; as long as it's doable, I won't have a word of complaint."

"This Legacy Token was entrusted to me by Emperor Qitian," Xu Zimei said.

"So, unless he said to give it to you, you won't obtain it."

"Emperor Qitian, he's not dead yet?" Qiao Huijun's smile faded, and he asked blandly.

Xu Zimei did not answer, instead, he looked at Elder Bi and said, "Arrange a courtyard for us, I'll be staying for a while."

"Is Young Master Xu certain about this?" Qiao Huijun squinted his eyes and asked.

"Don't you understand human language?" Xu Zimei glanced at Qiao Huijun and retorted.

"Such guts," Qiao Huijun almost gritted his teeth as he said this.

Then he shouted, "Elder Bi, prepare a fine courtyard for them, and don't neglect our guests."

Having said this, he turned around and left.

The other elders and disciples behind him also followed and left.

Only Elder Bi was left, shaking his head and sighing.

"Young Master Xu, there's no need for temporary anger, it won't end well for anyone."

"Just arrange a place to stay, Elder Bi, as for a great battle, I don't regard your Haotian Sect that highly," Xu Zimei said.

Elder Bi didn't persuade further, and he led Xu Zimei and his companion to a courtyard.

Briefly introducing, "This is the Unyielding Courtyard, you may stay here.

If there's any request, feel free to come to me.

All that I can do is this much."

"Elder Bi, if Sect Master Qi comes out, remember to inform me," Xu Zimei said.

"Sect Master Qi is hardly going to exit meditation," Elder Bi shook his head and said.

"Is there any way to make Sect Master Qi come out?" Wu Zhaodi asked from the side.

"Unless Sect Master Qi exits meditation himself, or the Sect Gate faces a life-or-death crisis," Elder Bi replied.

But under these circumstances, both are virtually impossible.

Currently, Haotian Sect is brimming with talent, even if Qi Haoran doesn't exit meditation, there are two Great Saints, no fear of other forces.

Moreover, Qi Haoran has been in meditation for ten thousand years and won't come out easily.

"Go ahead with your tasks, Elder Bi," Xu Zimei nodded.

After Elder Bi left, Wu Zhaodi then asked, "What do you plan to do next?"

"Just wait," Xu Zimei laughed.

"But waiting is not a solution," Wu Zhaodi replied.

"I made one mistake, I'm not waiting for Qi Haoran, but for…" Xu Zimei looked up north, towards the direction of the Demon Realm.

He was waiting not for Qi Haoran, but the Demon Race.

As for if Qi Haoran comes out, he'll hand over the Legacy Token, fulfilling Emperor Qitian's wish.

If he doesn't come out, Xu Zimei will simply leave.

"Do you want to learn this Heaven-shaking Skill?" Xu Zimei suddenly asked Wu Zhaodi.

"Me?" Wu Zhaodi was stunned for a moment, seemingly not reacting yet.

The Ten Great Divine Methods, it was something many dreamt of in the entire Nine Domains.

But for Xu Zimei, it was dispensable.

Whether Wu Zhaodi learns it or not, he would return it to Haotian Sect, and at least Wu Zhaodi had worked for him, could be seen as a part of his inner circle.

"Learn," Wu Zhaodi did not hesitate, her eyes as determined as torches.

...

At this moment, the Council Hall of Haotian Sect was in utter chaos.

Everyone held their own opinions, some hoping for battle, others wanting to call out Qi Haoran.

"Ultimately, it's our Legacy Token, losing it would be a disgrace to our ancestors."

"That's right, the Heaven-shaking Skill is invaluable, it cannot be lost again. I think it's best to let Sect Master Qi come out."

"What if Sect Master Qi is on the verge of breakthrough?

Will you take responsibility if anything happens?" The elders also blamed each other.

"Enough, how improper to be noisy," Qiao Huijun slammed the table, overpowering everyone's voices.

"Deputy Sect Master, this matter still requires your decision," the people below immediately quieted.

But this matter was shoved back into Qiao Huijun's hands.

"I will consult our two patriarchs on this," Qiao Huijun frowned and said.

The patriarchs he referred to were naturally the two Great Saints of Haotian Sect.

"What's the cultivation level of that person?" Qiao Huijun asked, looking at Elder Bi after saying this.

"He should be a Great Emperor," Elder Bi said uncertainly.

"A Great Emperor dares to act recklessly in my Haotian Sect, does he think we are defenseless?" Qiao Huijun sneered.

"He may have some courage, but in the end, he's just a reckless fool."

...

In the following days, Haotian Sect appeared unusually peaceful.

However, under this peace, everyone felt a storm brewing.

Yet Xu Zimei remained extremely calm, eating and drinking as usual every day.

Until an afternoon a few days later, Qiao Huijun, accompanied by several elders, came to find him once more.

"Have the two of you had a comfortable stay these past few days?" Qiao Huijun smiled and asked.

"It's been alright," Xu Zimei replied.

"Young Master Xu, I'll give you one last chance, will you hand over the Legacy Token or not?" Qiao Huijun asked.

"It seems you've resolved for war," Xu Zimei said.

Their formation was already clear for all to see.

"Young lad, don't say we bully you," at this moment, an aged voice resounded.

A strong wind inexplicably arose between heaven and earth.

A figure emerged, swept along with the mad winds.
