Life of a Villain - Chapter 61

While Lu Yong stepped into his carriage, Andy’s eyes were fixed on his departing figure.

Many memories of L u An flashed through his mind. From the moment Lu Yong was told that Lu An couldn’t cultivate. That man abandoned his son. When that boy needed his parents’ help, they abandoned him in this dark world.

As the carriage disappeared from his view and the crowd dispersed while discussing the events, Andy exhaled and his gaze shifted to the headless corpse for a moment before returning to the Elder of Eternal Palace, who had a slight smile on his face.

Andy’s brow furrowed as he saw that smile. This old man had been standing idly by the side the entire time.

“Why are you here?” The Elder asked, but he frowned when his eyes looked at the corpse.

He turned around and instructed one disciple, “Clean it.”

That disciple bowed and started cleaning the corpse while the Elder turned around to look at Andy.

“Nothing. I was just out for a morning walk when I noticed this courtyard. I just wanted to say hello. But who’d have guessed that a worthless fool would stop me from greeting you?” Andy sighed as his gaze was drawn to the disciple who was removing the corpse.

The Elder’s lips twitched as he heard Andy’s words. But he still smiled. “It’s great that you remember me. Don’t worry, I would allow no one to bother you in the future.”

Andy gave a nod. “Thank you very much. I made the correct choice in selecting the Eternal Palace. If all the elders are like you, I’ll have a great time in our sect.”

The smile spread on an Elder’s face when he heard his words, “Yes, you did the right thing. We are one of the most powerful sects. In this world. There are many more things you would get to know when we arrive at the sect.”

Andy’s eyes narrowed when he heard that. A doubt arose in his mind about the secrets of Eternal Palace. Even though he has read the book, it did not explain many things. This world is a mysterious place, full of secrets.

His eyes flickered a little before he nodded. “I am really looking forward to visiting the sect.”

“Yes, you would find it a very peaceful place,” the Elder said with a nod.

Andy snickered in his head as he heard the Elder. But he nodded, his brow furrowed. “Oh right, did you find the reason for our sudden eviction from the valley?”

As soon as he heard those words, the Elder’s face turned grave, and he shook his head, “We don’t know the reason, but we will soon find it out. We’ve known for years that there’s a tremendous secret in that valley, and we’ve tried every method we could think of to find it. I don’t want to hide it from you since you came from the higher world. In this world, it is very difficult for cultivators to ascend to the higher world. Only a select few can do so. We know that this valley is not of this world, and it may hide some secrets for the ascension to the higher world. I believe that someone has discovered the secret of the valley. I’ve already informed the sect about the events, and they’ve contacted a divination expert. Hopefully, we will get the results and deduce the reason for the anomaly.”

All this while, the Elder’s eyes were fixed on Andy. His heart skipped a beat, but he kept his calm and nodded. “Hopefully. I would also like to know about that person. Anyway, I would go back and one more thing, there are a few more people who would come with me to the sect. Is it fine with you?”

The Elder smiled and nodded. “It isn’t a problem. Since you are a Prime Disciple, you will have your own courtyard. You are free to bring whoever you want.”

Andy nodded slightly. “Thank you. Anyway, it’s time for me to go. Take care.”

He turned around and walked slowly, while the Elder’s gaze was fixed on Andy’s back, many thoughts racing through his mind.

But Andy’s steps abruptly came to a halt. “Oh, one more thing. Keep an eye out for Fang Yan. Since his talent is so great, someone would have recruited him and secretly sent him to that valley.”

He started walking without looking back. Elder’s eyes narrowed as he heard his words.

————————–

In a distant place, a man in a white robe was sitting cross-legged in a room, with his black hair tied up, his eyes were closed, while a slight fog surrounded his figure.

He opened his eyes, and the surrounding fog dissipated. As his gaze shifted to the formation beneath him, his lips curled up.

“It’s really a great place. I did not know such things existed in this lower world. It was a wise choice for me to follow that man here.” The man muttered as he stood up, stretched his body, and took a deep breath.

“With this speed, I’ll be in the core formation realm in a matter of a few days. But that man was at the peak of the Core Formation realm.” The man muttered again, and hatred flashed in his eyes, but he shook his head.

“He should have been cultivating for a long time, but I’ve only been cultivating for a few days and I’ve already reached the peak of the Foundation establishment rank. I don’t believe there is anyone on this planet who can compare to me. I just need some time to let him know about the real talent.” The man muttered as he approached the door.

‘ Creak’

As soon as he opened the door, his dark black eyes were drawn to a middle-aged man in a grey robe having a chat with a stunning young woman. Her face, however, was cold.

They both turned to look at him at the same time. The middle-aged man nodded as the young woman looked at him before turning around to leave.

The man was stunned for a moment and his heart raced as his eyes were fixed on the figure of that woman. But his body shuddered when a heavy, stern voice reached his ears.

“Fang Yan.”
