I Really Am A Villain

As Xu Zimo withdrew, the River of Fate once again returned to calm.

What made the Primordial Chaos Bead so powerful was not only its ability to traverse the River of Fate, but also its capacity to erase all traces.

Inside Grand Sun Chamber, Xu Zimo slowly opened his eyes.

“How did it go?” Ye Qingcheng asked immediately.

“In the Three Corpse Cave…” Xu Zimo said with a frown.

That scene had indeed been inside the Three Corpse Cave, but the cave itself seemed vast, and he could not determine the exact location.

That coffin, in particular, left Xu Zimo uneasy and deeply unsettled.

Was it an existence that had opened the Three Blossoms, or something even stronger?

“Then we’ll go to the Three Corpse Cave,” Ye Qingcheng said.

“If we hesitate even one more second, he might be in even greater danger.”

“That may be true, but the Three Corpse Cave is extremely dangerous. Ordinary people don’t need to go in,” Xu Zimo replied.

“Even I don’t have full confidence. If you follow me in, who can guarantee your safety?”

Hearing this, Ji Zhan and Ouyang Xiu quickly said, “In that case, we’ll wait outside, my lord.”

“We can protect the Holy Maiden,” the Sage Monarchs from Jade Court who carried the palanquin said.

“Protect?” Xu Zimo sneered.

“It’s not that I look down on you, but to be blunt, everyone here is weak. You’d struggle just to protect yourselves, yet you talk about protecting others?”

“If anything happens to the Holy Maiden, we will protect her with our lives,” one of the elders said.

“I don’t doubt your loyalty,” Xu Zimo shook his head. “But sometimes, even if you fight to the death, you still can’t protect someone. It’s like fish dying while the net remains intact. That’s the reality.”

The elders were clearly dissatisfied, but Ye Qingcheng raised her hand.

“Even without the four of them, this time the Ancient Heaven Dao Lord of Jade Court will protect me,” she said.

The Ancient Heaven Dao Lord, Xu Zimo had seen him act before, when he wiped out the Thousand Sovereign Gate.

He had casually slain an Infinite Dao elder of the sect. His strength was not weak.

“There’s no need to persuade me,” Ye Qingcheng said stubbornly. “This time, I’m absolutely going in.”

“At worst, it’s death. I owe him my life anyway.”

Hearing this, Xu Zimo stopped trying to convince her.

If she wasn’t even afraid of death, there was nothing left to say.

“Then it’ll be you and me, plus the Ancient Heaven Dao Lord. The three of us will go in,” Xu Zimo decided.

At that moment, he thought of the blue-robed man from the Middle Corpse Palace.

Perhaps it was time to seek some outside help as well.

The Ancient Heaven Dao Lord did not reveal himself and remained hidden in the void.

Presumably, unless Ye Qingcheng’s life was in danger, he would not intervene.

Just as they were preparing to leave Grand Sun Chamber, the hall suddenly began to shake.

The forces of water and fire inside fell into chaos, and rumbling sounds echoed endlessly.

“What’s going on?” Ouyang Xiu shouted.

“A very powerful force is awakening,” Xu Zimo said.

He looked up.

Above Grand Sun Chamber, water and fire energies began to gather. A water dragon and a fire dragon coiled together in the sky.

Finally, within the surging water and fire power, a mighty figure stepped out of the void, exuding overwhelming pressure.

This figure had a body split down the middle, water on the left side, fire on the right.

His face was somewhat diamond-shaped, and his eyes were irregular in form.

When he breathed, flames and flowing water appeared simultaneously, one side azure blue, the other blazing red.

“Who are you?” Ye Qingcheng asked with a frown.

“So Grand Sun Chamber has declined to this state,” the figure said as his gaze swept around.

That deep gaze seemed to pierce through everything, taking the entire Three Corpse Burial Ground into view.

“What a pity. What a shame,” he muttered.

“Senior, who exactly are you?” Ye Qingcheng asked again.

“I am the Grand Sun Dao Lord,” the figure replied, his voice solemn and vast.

“Grand… Grand Sun Dao Lord?!” Ouyang Xiu stammered.

“You’ve been dead for so many years. Why have you suddenly appeared?”

“The Three Corpses have departed. If I didn’t revive now, great chaos would erupt,” the Grand Sun Dao Lord replied, shaking his head.

“What exactly is going on?” Everyone was astonished.

The Grand Sun Dao Lord shook his head.

“It’s a long story, with far-reaching implications,” he said.

“Why not first resolve the matter of the Three Corpses, and then I’ll explain everything in detail. How about that?”

“How resolve it? We only want to save our friend,” Ye Qingcheng replied, frowning.

“Find the Three Corpses and seal them,” the Grand Sun Dao Lord said.

“Your friend will naturally be safe then.”

“So you want us to work for you for nothing?” Ouyang Xiu said unhappily.

Whether the Three Corpses were truly a problem or not, who knew?

“If the Three Corpses are not sealed, all of the Nine Heavens will be in danger,” the Grand Sun Dao Lord explained.

“Your friend will be even more impossible to save.”

“Then tell me how to do it,” Xu Zimo said. “Since you know so much, I’d like to hear it.”

“In the Three Corpse Cave, there is a corpse,” the Grand Sun Dao Lord said.

Xu Zimo frowned slightly.

When he had made a deal with the blue-robed man, the other party had also mentioned a corpse.

Hearing it again now, it was clear that this corpse was extraordinary.

“As long as we obtain that corpse, the Three Corpses will naturally be sealed.”

“A corpse? What kind of corpse?” Xu Zimo asked.

“A corpse unparalleled through the ages,” the Grand Sun Dao Lord said with reverence and longing.

“When you see it, you’ll understand. I cannot describe it with words.”

“Fine. How much do you know about the Three Corpse Cave?” Xu Zimo asked.

The Grand Sun Dao Lord waved his hand casually.

At once, a layer of golden garments enveloped Xu Zimo and the others.

These garments brimmed with vitality.

Even the dense deathly aura of the Three Corpse Burial Ground could not breach their protection.

“This is the Imperial Bestowed Robe,” the Grand Sun Dao Lord explained.

“Within the Three Corpse Burial Ground, wearing it is as if an emperor has personally arrived. No corpse mist can annihilate it.”

“With these robes, you may move freely. Even the beings within the Three Corpse Cave would not dare to attack you.”

“Of course, the three fiendish corpses themselves are an exception.”

Xu Zimo touched the robe on his body and felt that it was formed from countless evolving edicts.

The power contained within it was astonishing.

“In your current state, do you still have combat strength?” Xu Zimo asked.

Going to the Three Corpse Cave, having one more helper would naturally be beneficial.

“I can act, but my remaining strength is limited,” the Grand Sun Dao Lord replied.

“So unless it’s a critical moment, I cannot intervene.”

The group nodded and discussed briefly.

They then left Grand Sun Chamber and headed toward the Three Corpse Cave.

However, the moment they stepped out of the hall, Xu Zimo found himself surrounded by a crowd.

“Kid, let’s see where you can run this time.”

“Chen Cangtian himself has arrived. You killed his younger brother, you’re dead for sure.”
