The Hero of a Cool Novel? I, the Villain, Will Kill You!

41: Ma Lingshan’s awakening, the chess piece is unaware of it“This…” Chu Daosheng fell silent.

Because Chu Xinghe was right; if they tried to unify the Immortal Realm now, the Taboo Wang Family father and son would surely disrupt it.

After a long silence,

He waved his hand and sighed, “Since we can’t make a big move, then let’s take advantage of the opening of the Tianyuan Secret Realm to collect more Immortal King Origin.”

“Once we’ve gathered enough Immortal King Origin, we can then properly plan how to conquer the Immortal Realm and force the Wang Family father and son away!”

With that, Chu Daosheng formed a hand Seal and pointed out a mysterious Origin power, which broke through the abyss’s white mist and returned to the Tianyuan Secret Realm.

After he left, Chu Xinghe shook his head and set up some arrangements in this abyss, which stretched for countless miles.

This abyss was called the “Eastern Immortal Cliff.” Legend has it that tens of millions of years ago, the Heavenly Emperor slew three Immortal Emperors and suppressed the Tianyuan Clan here.

The Heavenly Emperor had set up the “Primordial Underworld Abyss Formation” here; the Formation could last for tens of millions of years, but it would completely collapse after three days of being Sealed.

The Heavenly Emperor once said: Tens of millions of years from now, my son will once again descend upon the Eastern Cold Immortal Domain to suppress the Tianyuan remnants.

“Brother Zhao, the powerhouses of the Heavenly Fortune God Clan have arrived. You must rush back to the Primordial Beginning Immortal Domain and return to Penglai Immortal Island to inform His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor about this matter!”

“I will guard this place. If they make any more major moves, I will notify His Highness the Emperor’s Son immediately!”

On a mountain Peak near the Eastern Immortal Cliff, Tianji Zi watched Chu Xinghe set up his contingencies at the edge of the Eastern Immortal Cliff. His eyes were profound, and stars shifted within them.

Zhao Jun was also staring at the white mist in the abyss, as if some great terror was hidden within the mist, ready to fully awaken in three days.

He turned his head to look at Tianji Zi and laughed heartily, “It’s been a long time since I stretched my muscles and bones. This time, I’m definitely going to have a good fight!”

“Old Daoist Tianji, I’ll do as you say. You stay here and see what other moves they make! I’ll head back to the Primordial Beginning Immortal Domain now!”

With that said, Zhao Jun turned and raised his hand to tear open space, stepping into it. His figure quickly vanished.

Tianji Zi leaned on his fortune-telling banner, wearing a tattered Daoist robe, his gaze still fixed on the Eastern Immortal Cliff.

The night sky was brilliant with stars, and moonlight bathed the earth, illuminating every corner of the Eastern Immortal Cliff, but it could not penetrate the white mist of the abyss.

“Whoosh whoosh…”

The evening wind whimpered, and the towering ancient trees and dense jungle rustled.

“Senior Tianji, what are you doing here? Why aren’t you returning to the Tianyuan Secret Realm?”

Suddenly, a white-robed young man accompanied by an immortal-robed woman appeared beside Tianji Zi.

The man was handsome and dashing, and the woman was captivating. They were none other than Chu Wuci and Ma Lingshan.

Chu Wuci had left the Tianyuan Secret Realm in the morning, taking Ma Lingshan to the Eastern Han Summit to watch Ye Chen show off.

Tianji Zi and Zhao Jun, having helped him, became Guest Elders of the Tianyuan Clan and had also come out to protect him.

“Young Lord Chu, how was the battle today?” Tianji Zi turned his head, grinned, and asked.

“It was alright, alright. It’s just that Ye Chen, that guy, tried to show off and failed. He was smashed to a bloody mess by the Eastern Cold Immortal Lord without even lasting a single round!”

Chu Wuci shook his head with a bitter smile.

Ma Lingshan, on the other hand, was as calm as still water, her beautiful eyes scanning the vicinity, but she couldn’t find Zhao Jun, her father’s killer.

[System, didn’t you say that old bastard Zhao Jun was still near the Eastern Immortal Cliff? Why is there no sign of him?]

[The Tianyuan Secret Realm is open to the Immortal Realm. I must take advantage of the chaos to kill that old fellow. System, you can’t let that bastard Zhao Jun escape!]

Ma Lingshan mentally questioned the “Supreme Reversal System,” completely disregarding the conversation between Chu Wuci and Tianji Zi.

[Host, Zhao Jun just left. You’re too late!]

[He’s gone somewhere now, but he should return. When he appears, the System will definitely help you kill him!]

[Also, Host, you need to be careful. The System has scanned the information of Tianji Zi and Zhao Jun. They are the Palace Master of the Heavenly Mystery Palace and the Palace Master of the Law Enforcement Palace of the Primordial Heavenly Court!]

After the Supreme Reversal System finished its prompt, it fell into a static state.

Ma Lingshan subtly glanced at Tianji Zi, pondering what the System said, and also feeling pity for Chu Wuci, who was likely being used by his enemies.

She had only recently awakened her System and recovered her past life memories.

In her previous life, she was an elite member of the Transcendents Alliance, who perished while contending for the Dao Origin in the Hongmeng Sea.

The Supreme Reversal System was the System she had bound in her previous life. With the Awakening of her memories in this life, the System also awakened.

On the surface, her Cultivation was that of a Golden Immortal, but with the recovery of her Immortal Emperor memories from her past life, coupled with the System’s help, her combat power could at least match a Quasi Immortal Emperor.

Even if she encountered an Immortal Emperor, she had a high certainty of escaping.

This was the foundation of an Immortal Emperor. As long as she had enough Cultivation resources and the System’s assistance, returning to her Peak was only a matter of time.

“Senior Tianji, the Secret Realm will open to the Immortal Realm in three days. It’s not advisable to stay outside for long. Would Senior like to return to the Tianyuan Clan with this Junior?”

Chu Wuci cupped his fists respectfully to Tianji Zi, his attitude extremely deferential.

For no other reason than that his position as Young Lord of Tianyuan was obtained with the help of Tianji Zi and Zhao Jun.

That day, he returned to the Imperial Capital and persuaded Ma Lingshan for a long time before taking her out of the Imperial Capital and telling her the whole truth.

Ma Lingshan initially refused, but seeing that Chu Wuci had hidden such a high identity and stayed by her side as a live-in son-in-Law for thirty years,

she had some feelings for Chu Wuci and couldn’t bear it, so she temporarily decided to stay by Chu Wuci’s side and, incidentally, look for an opportunity to kill Zhao Jun.

Finally, Chu Wuci acted as a mediator, temporarily suppressing Ma Lingshan’s hatred for Zhao Jun.

He took Tianji Zi, Zhao Jun, and Ma Lingshan to the Eastern Immortal Cliff, and with the help of the Tianyuan Token, returned to the Tianyuan Secret Realm.

When he returned to the Tianyuan Secret Realm, seeing that the Young Lord assessment was about to be completed, the other Elders of the Tianyuan Clan refused to acknowledge his position as Young Lord.

It was then that Tianji Zi and Zhao Jun appeared, suppressing the Elders of the Tianyuan Clan, who, after much discussion, finally agreed to let Chu Wuci become the Young Lord.

“Hehe, let’s go!” Tianji Zi subtly glanced at Ma Lingshan, stroked his beard, smiled, and transformed into a long rainbow, flying towards the Eastern Immortal Cliff.

Chu Wuci didn’t notice anything unusual about Tianji Zi and Ma Lingshan.

Although he also had a System, it was too low-level, still the initial 0.1 version of the “Group Chat System,” which couldn’t scan the identities of Tianji Zi and Zhao Jun at all.

Therefore, he had long fallen into a huge vortex without realizing it, truly a pitiful wretch.

“Ling Shan, let’s go too!” Chu Wuci looked at Ma Lingshan, wanting to hold her hand and return to the Tianyuan Secret Realm together.

Ma Lingshan showed a complex gaze, didn’t give Chu Wuci a chance to hold her hand, and likewise transformed into a streak of light, leaving the mountain Peak.

Chu Wuci smiled bitterly, shook his head, and followed after her.

He was very content now, with two Immortal Emperor backers and being the Young Lord of Tianyuan.

Now, if he could just win Ma Lingshan’s true heart, he would have no other desires.

After the three departed, the entire mountain Peak suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

Above the sky, the clouds solidified, the light of the stars completely extinguished, and even the moonlight was obscured by an invisible black curtain.

In an instant!

The world twisted, Laws stagnated, and all things seemed to be frozen in place.

From the depths of the starry river, a low, Soul-shaking thud resounded, like the breathing of an ancient existence before its Awakening.

“Crack!” A pitch-black crack tore open out of thin air, and boundless darkness surged from it, devouring all light and shadow.

A giant hand, as pale as bone yet containing endless might, slowly tore open the Void Realm and reached out from within.

Wang Qing stepped out of the shattered space, his black-gold imperial robe fluttering, his nine-layered imperial crown pressing down on all heavens, his white hair like snow, and the starry river flowing in his eyes.

His mere appearance caused this world to faintly wail, as if fearing the terror that was about to descend!

“Transcendents Alliance and Heavenly Fortune God Clan, you two forces have finally shown your fangs!”

Wang Qing’s voice was majestic and deep, like a Heavenly God playing cat and mouse.
