The Villain's Redemption

Fang Yu narrowed her eyes at Xiawen Dong. "You really dared betray humanity?" It wasn't a question that needed an answer.

"Yu'er." Xiawen Dong coughed up blood. He struggled to stand as he looked at Fang Yu. "Are you really going to kill me?"

Fang Yu scoffed and rolled her eyes. This was not her priority right now. She approached Xiawen Dong and revealed the dagger in her hand. Then she vanished and reappeared next to Xiawen Dong, slitting his throat. Fang Yu wasn't planning to prolong this man's life anymore. She couldn't have him complicate everything.

Then Fang Yu waved her hand and Xiawen Dong vanished from where he was lying. She already sent him to the tree that liked to eat people. Fang Yu then roamed her gaze towards the direction that Mo Li and that guy went. She thought of following him but quickly thought of Dong Hu. Right now, her priority is actually saving the villain from the reincarnator. Right now, Fatty Lu was there with everyone else. Meaning, he could easily attack Dong Hu and kill him.

With this in mind, Fang Yu vanished.

…

Ji Tian roamed his eyes on the island that they were in. The island was huge and full of greeneries. He couldn't help but wonder where the ship took them. He tried to examine the surrounding plants and immediately discovered that some of them weren't familiar to him.

"Tian… this place is too beautiful," Yunyun uttered. "I— But I am wondering what would happen to Sect Master."

"Let's not worry too much. Sect Master is the strongest person in the sect. There is no way that those people would defeat him."

"But… those people are not normal," Yunyun uttered. "Isn't it right, Fatty Lu?" Yunyun looked at Fatty Lu's downcast expression. "Don't be too sad Fatty. Elder He said that we can build a new sect in this place. So, we shouldn't be sad."

"Are we still in the human dimension?" Fatty Lu's question surprised everyone.

"Of course, we are! Why would we— " Yunyun didn't continue her words as she looked at the water surrounding them. "This place…"

"I haven't heard of a place like this in the human dimension." The water surrounding them was actually purple. As someone who already lived his previous life, Fatty Lu knew that they are in a different dimension. But how did they get here? He gritted his teeth, his eyes soon found the man that he was looking for. Dong Hu.

He was looking in the sea, his gaze unfathomable. As a genius, Dong Hu had been really arrogant. Just like in his previous life, Dong Hu wasn't very friendly and just like to be alone. Of course, Dong Hu knew that this was because he was hiding a huge secret.

He was not a human. Dong Hu was actually the demon prince that the devils had been looking for. Dong Hu clearly remembered that in this previous life, Dong Hu had become strong. But he wasn't comparable to Ji Tian. In the next annual fight, Ji Tian would defeat Dong Hu, prompting him to leave the sect.

Fatty Lu thought it would be the last time that he met Dong Hu. However, years later, the demons actually waged a war on humanity and devils. The demons were lead by Dong Hu and Ji Tian would lead the humans. At that time, Fatty Lu was only a low-class disciple and he wasn't really close to Ji Tian. Because of this, he was given an extremely hard mission by one of the disciples that he offended.

Then, the demons caught him. For months, Dong Hu personally tortured him so he would tell him where Ji Tian was staying with his friends. Even in dying, Fatty Lu didn't tell Dong Hu anything. It wasn't because he was brave. Rather… it was because he actually didn't know anything about Ji Tian.

The man was a mystery to him.

However, Dong Hu insisted that he knew something simply because… he entered the sect the same time as Ji Tian. Fatty Lu found this unreasonable. However, how could he even reason against a demon-like Dong Hu? He could only scream and grit his teeth as Dong Hu asked his men to cut off his limbs one by one.

In his previous life, Fatty Lu died full of resentment. He knew that he died because he was weak and when his sister helped him, Fatty Lu didn't hesitate and took the opportunity for his revenge.

As if sensing his gaze, Dong Hu turned his head towards Fatty Lu. Of course, Fatty Lu immediately turned his head away. To kill Dong Hu, Fatty Lu needed to surprise him and use other tricks. Without it, he wouldn't be able to kill the demon. Fatty Lu unknowingly clutched his space ring. Inside the ring was a dagger that could actually kill demons.

This dagger was given by his sister when she made him promise that he would use the dagger to kill the prince. When Fatty Lu asked. His sister told him that this dagger will imprison the soul of the prince. This would stop the cycle of reincarnation. Meaning, the demon prince wouldn't reincarnate anymore.

This made Fatty Lu elated.

"Hey, Fatty… I know you read a lot from the library. Do you know where we are now?"

Fatty Lu shook his head. That's right. He had no idea where they were now and this is actually a big problem for him. Without knowing how to get out of this place, Fatty Lu won't be able to send a message to the devils. If that happens, the devils won't be able to find them and Fatty Lu won't be able to launch his surprise attack on Dong Hu.

"I think we are in another dimension." Elder He uttered. "But since this is something that the Sect Master wanted us to go, then this place should be safe. Everyone… let's start with building tents so everyone can rest. Someone needed to find a good spot for the sect. You— " He pointed at Dong Hu. "And you!" Then at Ji Tian… "You two should set up some defenses three hundred meters from where we are. Call me once you are done so I can reinforce your formations.

The Elder was aware that Dong Hu was the disciple of Mo Li. And since Mo Li is an expert in artifacts and formations, it is only reasonable for his disciple to know about that stuff too.

"Elder! Can I go with them?" Yunyun immediately chimed in. "I want to help too."

The Elder looked at Yunyun before he nodded. "You and Ji Tian go to the west and you— Fatty— go with Dong Hu and set up formations to the east. Be quick! Let me know once you are back, I will heal some of the injured students."

The four of them nodded their head and immediately started walking towards their assigned direction.

Dong Hu walked ahead of Fatty Lu, his eyes roaming around the space. In Dong Hu's eyes, a weak person like Fatty Lu doesn't even deserve a single sentence from him.

"Hey, Dong Hu…"

Dong Hu didn't stop when he heard Fatty Lu's voice.

"Hey, wait for me…" Fatty Lu ran towards him. However, Dong Hu was so absorbed in his own thoughts that he didn't notice the dagger in Fatty Lu's hands. "Hey!"

Irritated, Dong Hu squinted his eyes and turned towards the Fatty. The knife in Fatty's hand surprised him. He was about to dodge it when a white powder was thrown on his face. "Ahhhh!" Dong Hu screamed. The white powder is something that could burn demons like them! It was actually made of a divine race's wings. "What the— " He staggered, his hands covered his face.

Seeing this, Fatty Lu didn't hesitate he immediately stabbed the dagger towards Dong Hu's heart. However, before the blade could touch Dong Hu, the latter disappeared. With the absence of his target, Fatty Lu lost his footing, and fell towards the sand.

"I'm sorry, Fatty Lu. I can't let you kill him." Fang Yu's voice echoed. "He might be evil… but he is needed in this world."

"You— " Fatty Lu panicked. He quickly tried to hide the knife but Fang Yu easily retrieved it from his hands.

"Interesting." Fang Yu uttered. "Did your sister give this to you?" Fang Yu saw a knife like this in Mo Li's stash. He told her that this could imprison one's soul. Especially if the person is still weak. But Fang Yu didn't take it as it looked a little ugly. It was rusted and not shiny. It looked dull and it doesn't have any jewels around it.

To her, it looked boring and unappetizing.

"My— My sister…" Fatty Lu trembled. "How did you know about my sister?"

"Fatty Lu… you do know that we cannot really fight the cycle of reincarnation right?" This was a part of the universe. Anyone who breaks the laws of the stars will get punished.

"Did you do something to my sister?" Fatty Lu asked. "Did you— "

"I didn't." Of course, she didn't. It was Mo Li who killed her. "I didn't lay a finger to your sister." Fang Yu uttered. This was another fact.

"That man is a demon! Why are you defending him!"

Fang Yu only smiled in response. Because… the male lead needed the villain. It's that simple.
