I Truly Am The Villian
Chapter 1359 1358: Lackey of the Heavenly Fire Family, The Truth

"It seems like she's alone, the other two are not here," Xu Zimei said.

"She's badly injured."

Bright Moon Fairy approached the two, appearing somewhat dazed.

"Help me," she looked at Xu Zimei and the other, struggling to finish her words before fainting.

The two exchanged glances, Xu Zimei checked her injuries.

Indeed, the injuries were severe, but fortunately, her divine soul was unharmed. With the power of the Tree of Life and her own strong healing ability, she should recover quickly.

"Looks like we'll have to rest in Bright Moon City for a few days," Sage Zixia said.

"Let's ask her what happened first," Xu Zimei suggested.

The power of the Tree of Life flowed from his palm, slowly entering Bright Moon Fairy's body.

Her originally pale complexion began to turn rosy at a noticeable speed.

Even her breathing stabilized.

With more life force, finally, Bright Moon Fairy gradually awoke.

"You guys...," Bright Moon Fairy looked at Xu Zimei and the other, her expression complex.

Sage Zixia had used them as bait by claiming to protect them.

However, when they were trapped in the formation, Xu Zimei had left.

Originally, they should have been enemies upon meeting, but now the two had saved her life.

This left Bright Moon Fairy unsure of what to say.

"What exactly happened?" Sage Zixia asked.

"Where is the Holy Court?"

Bright Moon Fairy stood up, let out a cold snort, seemingly reluctant to explain further, and prepared to leave.

Though she had awoken, her body was still too weak.

After walking only a few steps, she fell to the ground.

"Why bother?" Sage Zixia shook his head and said.

"We're not enemies."

"Then where's the Moon God Stone you promised me?" Bright Moon Fairy looked at Sage Zixia and asked.

If not for the Moon God Stone, why would she protect Sage Zixia, even going so far as to oppose the Holy Court?

"Rest assured, I have already prepared it," Sage Zixia replied with a smile.

With a wave of his right hand, he took out a stone emitting silver moonlight from a Storage Ring.

Although he had deceived Bright Moon Fairy and others, he had long prepared what he promised them.

After all, if he made too many enemies, Sage Zixia would find it difficult to move ahead.

He was already irreconcilable with the Holy Court.

Seeing the Moon God Stone, Bright Moon Fairy's complexion improved considerably.

She put away the Moon God Stone and said, "We're even now."

"Let's be kind to the end and take you to Bright Moon City," Sage Zixia suggested.

"Otherwise, considering your current weakness, you probably can't handle an ordinary person."

"Bright Moon Fairy, Bright Moon City, they must be related," Xu Zimei said.

Bright Moon Fairy looked at him and replied, "I founded this city."

"With your cultivation, why not build a kingdom?" Sage Zixia asked.

"The purpose of building Bright Moon City was to protect my village, nothing more. A kingdom would be too exhausting," Bright Moon Fairy shook her head.

Before becoming a Saint, she was just a girl from a small village.

Later, she achieved the rank of Great Saint, utilizing Holy Power to build the city and protect Bright Moon City.

Sage Zixia nodded slightly, intending to support Bright Moon Fairy, but was refused.

"Let him support," Bright Moon Fairy looked at Xu Zimei and coldly stated.

She placed her hand on Xu Zimei's shoulder.

Xu Zimei didn't mind.

"Be careful of those two. They were deceived by you, they will surely bear grudges," Bright Moon Fairy reminded.

She was referring to Demon Refining Sage and Bright Mirror Great Saint.

"How is this deceiving them? Everyone protects their own path, I never said we would team up," Xu Zimei replied.

Bright Mirror Great Saint and others had simply assumed they were teaming up against the Holy Court.

"What happened afterward?"

"I also want to know what happened," Bright Moon Fairy stared at Xu Zimei and responded.

"The Holy King chased after you and never returned, dare you say that has nothing to do with you?"

Xu Zimei remained silent.

"We three broke through the formation together, the Holy King seemed concerned about his companion's whereabouts. So, he didn't pursue us," Bright Moon Fairy stated.

"Why were you so severely injured?" Sage Zixia asked with confusion.

"During that time, members of the Heavenly Fire Family intervened, and I was caught off guard," Bright Moon Fairy replied.

"Heavenly Fire Family? Aren't they in Lotus Pond Secluded Path?" Sage Zixia exchanged a glance with Xu Zimei and then said.

"As far as I know, they wouldn't get involved with matters of Catastrophe Demon Domain.

Did you offend them before?"

"Today's Heavenly Fire Family is not the same as it once was," Bright Moon Fairy said.

"They have now become a mere puppet of the Holy Court."

"How is that possible?" Sage Zixia asked, frowning.

The Heavenly Fire Family controls the crucial passage from Catastrophe Demon Domain to Blazing Flame Realm.

They are known to be dispatched by Blazing Flame Realm.

Their duty is to guard the passage and hardly ever involve themselves in worldly affairs.

Thus, there's a consensus in Catastrophe Demon Domain; no one actively provokes members of the Heavenly Fire Family.

Because backing them is the powerful presence of Blazing Flame Realm.

Yet now, according to Bright Moon Fairy, they seem to be colluding with the Holy Court.

This is certainly not good news for Xu Zimei and Sage Zixia.

"You probably don't know, but the previous Family Head of the Heavenly Fire Family mysteriously died not long ago.

Now a new Family Head has taken over," said Bright Moon Fairy.

"Rumor has it, the new Family Head is nothing more than a dog cultivated by the Holy Court. You could say the Heavenly Fire Family now looks to the Holy Court as its leader."

"Didn't they fear provoking Blazing Flame Realm's sanctions?" Sage Zixia asked.

"Only if Blazing Flame Realm knows," Bright Moon Fairy sneered.

"With the passage controlled, entering Blazing Flame Realm is not easy, let alone sending high-level messages."

"True," Sage Zixia nodded.

He was pondering that at this level, asking the Holy Court for mercy was already impossible.

The Heavenly Fire Family needed to be added to the enemy list.

"Originally, the Heavenly Fire Family was the Holy Court's trump card; they wouldn't act rashly."

Bright Moon Fairy looked at Xu Zimei and continued, "It's precisely because of the Holy King's disappearance they were forced to act.

But one can imagine, next, the Catastrophe Demon Domain will be scoured by the Holy Court."

"Regardless, I must go to Lotus Pond Secluded Path, even if I have to destroy the Heavenly Fire Family," Xu Zimei said.

"I'll go with you," Bright Moon Fairy suddenly said.

"You?" Xu Zimei looked at her with confusion.

"I haven't avenged myself against the Heavenly Fire Family's ambush," Bright Moon Fairy said.

"Women truly are vengeful creatures," Sage Zixia muttered under his breath.
