I Really Am A Villain
Ch. 409 - Demon-Slayers Emerge

He had now fully mastered his third battle body, the Scarlet Flame Imperial Physique.

Its flames were the most powerful he had ever seen.

There were almost no items in the world that it’s godly fire couldn’t melt.

At this moment, he had just stepped into the Imperial Meridian Realm, but the further he advanced, the slower his progress became.

Jiang Mochou deeply felt the difficulty of cultivation.

He slowly stood up, and his skin had turned a fiery red.

Countless black markings covered his body.

His eyes were blood-red. If you stared long enough, they looked like two blazing flames.

He stepped off the island, gazing into the distant skyline.

And the continents that surrounded the Endless Sky Sea.

At that moment, many memories surfaced in his mind.

The mission given to him by his master, the Lord of Nihility.

That was still far off. Right now, even Supreme Primal Sacred Ground was not something he could confront.

He clearly understood his own weakness.

...

Inside a hidden barrier in the Infinite Void, Dao Tianyun slowly opened his eyes from seclusion.

He didn’t like the name Dao Tianyun. He preferred the title "Lord of Samsara," which reminded him of who he really was.

He had sworn that everything from his previous life would be redone after reincarnation.

To walk the path of invincibility again!

Now, with the powerful Dao Race supporting him, and his father in this life being the Supreme Patriarch, he was confident he could take revenge on all his past enemies.

Every night, when it was quiet, he would look up at the bright moon.

A complicated expression would appear on his face.

"Little Yang, teacher owes you too much..."

He often muttered things no one else could understand. No one knew how ancient a soul was hidden in that young body.

...

The news of Primordial Ancient City's destruction didn’t spread until much later.

When it did, it shocked the entire Eastern Continent.

As one of the oldest and most prosperous cities in the East, Primordial Ancient City dated back to the Desolate Era.

It had survived countless catastrophes and had been rebuilt many times.

But now, it stood silent and empty.

The most powerful family in the city, the Ye Clan, had been completely wiped out.

No one knew who the killer was, and there were no clues to investigate.

Now, the ancient city quietly stood upon the land.

The setting sun cast its last rays across the horizon.

The afterglow lit the city in a deep red.

Its former prosperity was now just a distant memory.

No one dared settle there anymore, for who could withstand another massacre?

Today, a few willow trees swayed alone in the wind.

In this deserted city, people arrived for the first time in a long while.

Three young people in blue robes descended from the sky.

Two women and one man.

After entering the city, they found it completely deserted.

The corpses had already been cleared away, and what remained of the ruins sat in silence under the sunset, telling of the city’s past glory.

"Ke’er, Sister Yujing, this place is really desolate," said the young man, Lan Shixuan, with a smile.

"Those demons deserve to die. This was once one of the most prosperous cities in the East," Lan Yujing said bitterly.

"Let’s first assess the situation. We’re not yet certain if it was the work of demons," Lan Ke’er shook her head slightly.

The three searched the city but found nothing unusual.

Lan Ke’er took out a compass-like object from her storage ring.

She pricked her finger and dropped a drop of her true blood onto it.

The compass began to tremble violently.

Its needle swung erratically.

"What does that mean?" Lan Shixuan asked curiously.

Before Lan Ke’er could reply, the compass exploded with a loud bang.

Lan Ke’er frowned slightly and said quietly, "This is bad."

"What’s wrong?" Lan Yujing asked, confused.

"This time, the demon is too powerful. The Demon-Seeking Compass can’t detect it."

Lan Ke’er replied, "According to our family history, this might mean a true Infernal Archon has appeared."

"So what do we do now?" Lan Yujing asked urgently.

"Let’s leave someone here to keep watch while I report back to the clan. We’ll wait for the Patriarch’s decision," Lan Ke’er said.

After thinking for a moment, Lan Shixuan said, "I’ll stay. You and Sister Yujing go back."

"Be careful," Lan Ke’er nodded slightly without objection.

...

Slaughter City was known as the capital of the Slaughter Empire.

Long ago, the Slaughter Race conquered and founded an empire here.

The very first city was Slaughter City.

From this base, after countless years of war, the Slaughter Empire’s vast territory was formed.

Xu Zimo and Yue Qingli traveled for half a month and finally arrived at Slaughter City from Three-Eyed Mountain.

It was just around dusk, and from a distance, the city looked grand and expansive.

Although it was silent, it radiated an intense killing aura.

If one stared too long, it felt as though that aura would wrap around them.

As night fell, the city faded into darkness.

Xu Zimo and Yue Qingli entered the city.

They found two rooms in the largest inn.

Xu Zimo planned to stay the night and take the teleportation array to the Celestial Tiger Empire the next day.

The night passed without incident. When the sun rose the next day,

Xu Zimo took Yue Qingli toward the teleportation array.

It was located in the northern part of Slaughter City.

It was heavily guarded, and each use required a significant fee.

As a result, there weren’t too many people there.

The teleportation array was situated in a plaza surrounded by barriers.

Xu Zimo paid the fee at the registration counter.

The array was ready but wouldn’t activate for another two hours.

It wasn’t too long, so Xu Zimo waited patiently.

However, a scene across the plaza caught his attention.

On the opposite street, a small stall had been set up.

No one knew what it was for, but it had drawn a large crowd.

People were lined up, chatting and discussing animatedly.

...

"That Master God-Diviner is really accurate! My family lost something recently, and we searched everywhere. After he gave me a hint, I found it as soon as I got home."

"No kidding. I had my fortune told here too. He said there’d be a good or bad event within seven days. I didn’t believe it, but yesterday my neighbor suddenly died of an illness."
