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

52: Confused Xiao Yan, Long Aotian’s unexpected move“If I kill Xiao Yan and devour his Luck, perhaps when I Break Through to Nine Heavens Profound Immortal and use the Immortal Emperor Experience Card, I can exert even more power!”

Ye Changsheng’s eyes gleamed with ruthlessness. Having made his decision, he turned and left the pavilion to observe the situation at the Xiao Family manor and act in secret.

His Divine-Grade System possessed the ability to devour all things.

This was also why he was able to devour the original Soul of the First Prince of Northern Cold and occupy his Immortal body to become the new First Prince of Northern Cold.

The Alchemy convention held by the Xiao Family today was the perfect opportunity for him to fish in troubled waters, kill Xiao Yan, and devour the Luck within his body to Breakthrough his cultivation… Honggu City’s streets were bustling with activity, most of the beings were indigenous to the Great Thousand Bright Realm, with the highest cultivation being around the True Immortal stage.

This place couldn’t be considered a Mortal Realm; it was the largest Secret Realm in the Eastern Cold Immortal Domain, the Tianyuan Secret Realm.

The Tianyuan Clan ruled the Immortal Realm tens of millions of years ago, but was later overthrown by a Heavenly Emperor, losing three Immortal Emperors who perished within the Secret Realm.

Chu Xinghe, the Clan Chief of the Tianyuan Clan, then led his clansmen and subordinate forces into this realm to multiply and thrive, renaming the Secret Realm the Great Thousand Bright Realm.

He intended to wait for the Tianyuan Clan’s strength to recover and fight their way back to the Immortal Realm, but the entrance was Sealed by the Heavenly Emperor.

Since then, the Tianyuan Clan and its many subordinate forces have lived here.

Tens of millions of years passed… The forces that once followed the Tianyuan Clan also survived in this realm, taking root and flourishing, forming a complex ecological chain and power network.

But they all shared one consensus: the Tianyuan Clan was the overlord of this realm, and they should never think of rebelling against the heavens.

The Xiao Family was a large Family under the Tianyuan Clan, with a Nine Heavens Profound Immortal Old Ancestor within the Clan. It was not an exaggeration to call them a prestigious Family in this realm.

At this moment, as the Xiao Family’s millennia-old Alchemy convention began, many forces gathered in Honggu City.

They came to Honggu City simply to see what kind of Alchemy Genius the Xiao Family, this Alchemy Family, would produce after a thousand years.

The Xiao Family manor spanned tens of thousands of miles.

Within the manor, there were rockeries, flowing streams, ancient pavilions, and grand palaces—everything one could imagine.

Countless Xiao Family members bustled through various corridors, busy with the upcoming Alchemy grand event and entertaining distinguished guests from other forces.

However, in contrast, the Xiao Family’s main hall was starkly out of place with the outside hustle and bustle, the atmosphere exceedingly oppressive.

A middle-aged man sat at the head of the high platform, his gaze sweeping over a richly robed young man in the center of the hall, sighing repeatedly.

“Yan’er, tens of millions of years ago, the Immortal King Zhou Family and the Xiao Family were old acquaintances. More than twenty years ago, Old Ancestor unexpectedly returned to the Immortal Realm through a crack in the Grand Primordius Underworld Formation!”

“He, the Elder, went to the Immortal King Zhou Family and, after much persuasion, arranged a marriage between you and the Zhou Family’s Young Princess, Zhou Yutong!”

“Only… only no one expected that the Grand Primordius Underworld Formation left by the Heavenly Emperor would be completely shattered, and the Seal between the Immortal Realm and the Great Thousand Bright Realm would disappear.”

“Many Immortals descended upon the Great Thousand Bright Realm, and the Immortal King Zhou Family was among them. The current Clan Chief of the Zhou Family, Zhou Qi, even brought his daughter to annul the engagement!”

“Regarding the annulment, the Xiao Family has no Immortal King to preside, so your father and Old Ancestor are helpless…”

At this point, Xiao Yunwang looked at his son, “Xiao Yan,” and could no longer continue.

Because if the Zhou Family came to the Xiao Family, they would definitely annul the engagement directly, and Xiao Yan, being strong-willed, would inevitably suffer a blow.

Xiao Yan’s face was delicate, but at this moment, his complexion alternated between red and white as he stared at his father on the high platform.

He said, somewhat brokenly, “Father, can you contact the Tianyuan Clan and ask them to intervene and stabilize the situation!”

“If they intervene, the Immortal King Zhou Family will certainly be wary and will not openly annul the engagement!”

Xiao Yan’s expression was helpless. He didn’t care much about the marriage alliance, but for the Zhou Family to come to annul the engagement—this was a great humiliation for any man.

He naturally didn’t want such a thing to happen.

If the Tianyuan Clan came to stabilize the situation, the annulment might be postponed, and he could even write a letter of divorce to retaliate against the Immortal King Zhou Family.

“Yan’er, don’t count on the Tianyuan Clan anymore!”

“The Immortals from the five Immortal Domains of the Immortal Realm have arrived in the Great Thousand Bright Realm and have already begun to plunder resources everywhere. The Tianyuan Clan is busy dealing with the Immortals from the Immortal Realm!”

“On the other hand, the son of the Grand Primordius Heavenly Emperor has also arrived in this realm to fulfill the Heavenly Emperor’s decree left a thousand years ago, to suppress the Tianyuan Clan.”

“Now, the Tianyuan Clan faces both wolves and tigers; they are very likely to be suppressed by the Heavenly Emperor’s son!”

“If we trouble the Tianyuan Clan with something like an annulment, our Xiao Family might be used as cannon fodder to deal with the Immortals from the Immortal Realm!”

Xiao Yunwang rubbed his forehead, feeling utterly helpless.

“Then… what should be done! Is it true that your son will be humiliated by the Zhou Family!” Xiao Yan shook his head, truly unable to accept this matter.

Just as the father and son felt utterly powerless, a report came from outside the hall!

“Report…”

“Clan Chief, a strange man has arrived outside the manor. He says he can help the Young Lord retaliate against the annulment!”

The Xiao Family’s Second Elder rushed into the hall.

Xiao Yunwang showed a strange look. A mysterious man? And he can help the Xiao Family retaliate against the Zhou Family’s annulment?

His thoughts raced, and he instructed, “Bring that person to the main hall. I, the Clan Chief, want to see who it is!”

“As you command…” The Xiao Family’s Second Elder cupped his hands and bowed, then turned and rushed out again.

Xiao Yan remained silent, but he was actually panicking internally. Could it be that the group members from the chat group really came to kill him?

He remembered very clearly what happened this morning.

He accidentally obtained a chat System and joined the Multiverse chat group, only seeking help on how to retaliate against the annulment in the group.

But those group members were very improper, talking about annihilating his fiancée’s entire Family.

Several administrators in the group even wanted to come and harvest his head, contending for some Luck.

Remembering this, Xiao Yan trembled like a sieve, cold sweat pouring down his forehead, unable to stand steady.

“Young Master, please come in!”

Just as cold sweat broke out on Xiao Yan’s back, the Xiao Family’s Second Elder led a man in a starry jade robe into the hall.

“Who are you? What are you doing at the Xiao Family?”

Xiao Yunwang didn’t pay attention to his son’s strange behavior, his gaze fixed on the man in the starry Daoist robe as he walked to the center of the hall.

“Hahaha, my name is Long Aotian, and I’m here for Xiao Yan. I can help your son retaliate against the Zhou Family’s annulment!”

Long Aotian grinned broadly.

Xiao Yan regained his senses, letting out a sigh of relief internally. Thankfully, it was only Long Aotian who arrived, not those administrators from the group.

Although Xiao Yunwang didn’t quite believe what Long Aotian said, seeing that Long Aotian was here for Xiao Yan,

He still stepped down from the high platform, cupped his hands and bowed, “Since you are Yan’er’s friend, you two chat first. I, the Clan Chief, have something to attend to!”

With that, Xiao Yunwang gave Xiao Yan a look, telling him to entertain his friend well, then quickly departed.

Besides, he wanted to try contacting the Tianyuan Clan to see if they had time to help.

“Fellow Daoist Xiao Yan, why are you sweating so much on your forehead!” Long Aotian approached Xiao Yan, sizing him up and down, and asked with a feigned air of profundity.

“S-Senior, I’m fine! I thought it was an administrator from the group!” Xiao Yan cupped his hands and instinctively took a step back.

“Slap…” Long Aotian raised his hand and slapped Xiao Yan, making him dizzy. “Am I, Aotian, not as formidable as those administrators?”

With that, Long Aotian seemed to feel insulted, and exerting one percent of his power, he delivered several more resounding slaps.

“You motherfucker, why are you hitting me!” Xiao Yan clutched his face, which was swollen like a pig’s head, and angrily demanded.

“Hahaha, you must have backbone! What I want is for you to have Life Qi; only then are you worthy of being called a Transmigrator!”

“If you become filled with Death Qi at the slightest sign of an annulment, even if I refine you into a human pill, it won’t suit my taste!”

Long Aotian cackled eerily, then hoisted Xiao Yan onto his shoulder and swaggered out of the palace.

“You… you demon, put me, this Young Lord, down quickly!” Xiao Yan was furious, frantically punching Long Aotian’s shoulder.
