Life of a Villain - Chapter 72

“Are you looking for me?” The man shuddered as a crisp voice rang beside his ears.

His body vanished and reappeared at a distance, his eyes wide with shock as he stared at Andy.

Meanwhile, Andy’s brows furrowed as he observed that man’s quick reaction, and his mouth quirked slightly.

“Not bad; at the very least, you’re better than that dog who came to kill me the last time. Let me guess, you’re another dog who came to kill me, right?”

The man’s heart thumped, but a sudden surge of anger flared up in his heart. “How dare you? You are just an ant. Why don’t you kill yourself?”

Andy was astonished for a moment, but then he burst out laughing.

“HAHAHAHA,”

He waved his hand. “You surely know how to joke. Just a measly Profound Realm Cultivator telling me to commit suicide? What a joke,”

But then his smile faded and his eyes turned red. “There are only a few things that irritate me, and one of them is when someone threatens me. Don’t you think I’ll capture you alive and hand you over to the Imperial Family?”

But the man was unable to respond. As Andy’s eyes turned red, a sense of suppression and reverence welled up in the man’s heart. He wanted to kneel before the man in front of him.

His legs buckled, but he didn’t fall to the ground. His widened eyes were fixed on the man in front of him.

“D…Dem… You are a Demon,” the man stuttered as he fought the urge to kneel.

Andy vanished and reappeared beside him. “Do you know any Demon? Could you tell me more about it?” He whispered in his ears as he grabbed his head.

A sharp pain struck the man’s head before he could respond. He had the illusion that someone was forcibly extracting his memories.

Unable to bear the pain, the man struggled desperately to break free from Andy’s grip but was unable to do so.

Meanwhile, Andy’s red eyes were fixed on the man, and his hand glowed slightly as he grabbed the man’s head.

As many memories of that man flooded through his mind, his face showed no emotion.

“Just an initial Profound Level Cultivator and you were telling me to kill myself? And what do I see? You’re one of the Xu family’s most powerful cultivators? Are you truly people from the upper world?”

Andy let out a sigh and murmured, “I am disappointed.” his hands glowed brightly.

Meanwhile, the man’s body began to whither at a visible rate. His eyes were bloodshot, and fear gripped his heart.

“N..” His hoarse voice was cut off as his body disintegrated into thin air.

Andy licked his lips as he patted his hand, and his eyes reverted to blue.

“Good. Let’s see who becomes my next meal,” He murmured and walked away from the spot.

…

Outside the Floating Valley city, the entire area was buzzing with activity as many disciples from various sects gathered to depart for their respective sects.

Many of them formed the group while discussing recent events in the cultivation world.

The main topic, however, was the bounty on Fang Yan’s head. Throughout this week, the entire Black Dragon Continent erupted in search of the young man, but no one knew where he was.

The Elders of the five sects were engaged in a different discussion.

“I discovered that the Feng Family of Phoenix Continent is organizing the ten-year auction.” The Elder of the Divine Flame continent spoke, his gaze fixed on the Elder of Eternal Palace.

The Elder gave a nod. “That’s correct. I even learned that many items from the higher world would be there.” He let out a sigh, “They are certainly powerful; their ancestor even sent artifacts from another world. However, that item has also appeared.”

Everyone’s expression darkened. “It’s been so long since we’ve lost that thing. I’m not sure who has the guts to auction that item.” The Elder of the Beast Taming Sect. clenched his teeth.

However, the Elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect sighed. “We all had the same ancestor; it was his disciples who founded the various sects. But to think we lost it to an enemy. It was a disgrace for us.”

Everyone sighed as they looked at each other, but then the woman from Profound Blossom Sect interrupted.

“Everything is fine, but I can’t find that young man.”

Everyone turned to look at the Elder of the Eternal Palace, who was wearing an odd expression on his face.

“I heard that he has to finish some work.”

“I must invite him to our Profound Blossom Sect. Our sect master has personally ordered that I give him the token of Eternal Guest.” The woman smiled slightly as she turned to look at everyone.

“You and your shameless sect. You are an all-female sect; why are you inviting a man to be an Eternal Guest? I know what you want to do,” The Elder of Eternal Palace erupted.

“Why are you scared, if you know? I want the best for my sect’s disciples. If he takes one or two concubines, it won’t change his status in Eternal Palace, right?”

But before he could say anything, the Elder’s gaze was drawn to a young masked man in a black robe strolling towards a carriage.

“He’s here.” He muttered while everyone’s eyes shone brightly.

Lu Yong was standing with the Elders of the Lu clan in one of the corners. His fists clenched as he looked at Andy, who opened the carriage door.

Meanwhile, Lu Yuan’s body shuddered when he looked at Andy. His eye seemed to be recovered. His eyes widened and his heart thumped as he saw Shi Yi step out of the carriage, followed by another woman in a veil.

As he gazed at the woman of his dreams, he felt a pang of pain in his heart.

“Shi Yi,” he muttered, but his body shuddered as he noticed Andy looking at him with a smile on his face.
