Villain: I Can See Destiny

5: Chapter 5 Thirteen Ancestors, Kill Them!”I thank Young Master Xiao for your kind intentions, but it was Xiao Xuan who awakened me. I have already promised to be his guardian and protect him as he grows.”

Old Lin shook his head, rejecting Young Master Xiao Zimo’s kind offer.

Young Master Xiao Zimo did not mind and turned to look at Yao Xuan: ”If you truly care for your Revered Master, you should learn to let go. Do you really believe that a wisp of a remnant Soul can exist in this world forever?”

Yao Xuan felt as if he were being roasted on a fire; agreeing would mean aiding his enemy, while disagreeing would make him appear selfish.

Young Master Xiao Zimo saw his dilemma and turned up the pressure: ”This is a Soul Condensing Medicinal Pill, a supreme Medicinal Pill. Consuming it can instantly restore a Soul. In the future, when we go to the Upper Realm, I can even reshape a Saint Body for your Revered Master.”

Yao Xuan did not want his Revered Master to leave, but he could not bring himself to speak, so he simply stopped talking and stared coldly at Young Master Xiao Zimo.

Meanwhile, Old Lin, at the moment Young Master Xiao Zimo took out the Medicinal Pill, felt his Soul become a bit more solid.

His heart trembled: ”There are barely a few of these Soul Condensing Medicinal Pills in the entire Upper Realm. Young Master Xiao Zimo actually has one and is willing to let him consume it, even promising to reshape a Saint Body for him after returning to the Upper Realm.”

It seemed as if he could immediately return to his Peak as long as he followed him.

At this moment, Lin Tao felt immense regret. He had refused too early; how could the mere grace of waking him compare to this?

Lin Tao had only spent three years with Yao Xuan; their relationship was not yet deep enough to entrust their lives to one another.

Young Master Xiao Zimo also saw Lin Tao’s struggle; now he just needed a step down.

He thought to himself: ”It seems the Child of Destiny is indeed in the initial stage, without any life-and-death experiences. The Revered Master-Disciple relationship is not as deep as I imagined.”

Having thought of this, Young Master Xiao Zimo decided to give him a step down: ”If you, Senior, are willing to follow me, I can overlook Yao Xuan’s offense. I can specifically speak to Tianxuan Hall to cancel all punishments against him, and even let him become the Young Hall Revered Master.”

”If I do not specifically intervene, I believe that even if I do not target him, Tianxuan Hall will not let him go.”

”Following me is equivalent to a life-saving grace, which is enough to repay the kindness Yao Xuan has shown you.”

Young Master Xiao Zimo ignored the look on Yao Xuan’s face, which suggested he wanted to eat him alive.

He waited quietly for Lin Tao’s answer.

Sure enough, Lin Tao took the step down that he provided.

”Young Master Xiao, this old man is willing to follow you. I only hope you will spare my Disciple’s life.” Lin Tao put on a self-sacrificing appearance.

”No, Revered Master...” Yao Xuan, upon hearing this, was filled with despair, his heart and gallbladder shattered.

Young Master Xiao Zimo, seeing that Yao Xuan’s Luck had dimmed by two-thirds, sneered inwardly.

At the same time, he was very curious about what the remaining Luck was.

However, Young Master Xiao Zimo no longer cared; losing a bit of Luck was not unacceptable.

Regardless of how Yao Xuan wailed and resisted, Young Master Xiao Zimo very roughly snatched the ring from his hand.

After taking the ring, Young Master Xiao Zimo gave Nangong Yi, who had been silent all along, a look, then turned and left directly.

After leaving the death row prison, Young Master Xiao Zimo did not go far, as if he were waiting for something.

After a good while, Nangong Yi walked out of the death row prison: ”Young Master, it is my incompetence; he escaped.”

Her cold and clear voice carried a hint of shame and self-reproach.

Hearing this, Young Master Xiao Zimo felt no great ripples in his heart.

He thought to himself: ”It seems that even a protagonist whose Luck has been greatly damaged cannot be killed by ordinary people.”

Through the veil, Young Master Xiao Zimo pinched the young girl’s delicate nose and chuckled: ”This is your punishment.”

This caused the young girl’s face to turn bright red. Unfortunately, this scene was not very visible in the dark night; Young Master Xiao Zimo only felt that the girl’s face was somewhat hot.

Lin Tao, inside the ring, seeing Young Master Xiao Zimo acting so unreservedly in front of him, felt a sense of foreboding.

He pretended not to have heard the previous conversation and tried to probe Young Master Xiao Zimo about the Soul Condensing Medicinal Pill.

”Senior, this has nothing to do with me. I have already forgiven his offense.”

Young Master Xiao Zimo held Nangong Yi’s hand with his right hand and held the ring up with his left, looking innocent as if he had been wronged.

”Hmph, daring to offend the Young Master is a crime punishable by death!” Nangong Yi said coldly.

”Senior, you see, this really has nothing to do with me.”

”Miss Nangong is right.” With people under the eaves, one has to bow their head; Lin Tao had no choice but to comply with them.

”By the way, I still do not know your name, Senior.” Young Master Xiao Zimo asked Lin Tao.

”This old man is called Lin Tao. You can just call me Old Lin from now on.”

From now on? Young Master Xiao Zimo sneered inwardly.

”Old Lin, do you know what the main Materials for the Soul Condensing Medicinal Pill are?”

Old Lin’s heart paused. What did this Young Master Xiao Zimo mean?

Young Master Xiao Zimo did not care what he was thinking and continued to talk to himself: ”The main Materials are a wisp of a Soul from someone above the Great Saint Realm.”

Speaking of this, he couldn’t help but lick his lips: ”Isn’t there a ready-made one right here?”

”Thirteenth Ancestor, kill him.” Young Master Xiao Zimo said coldly to the ring.

”Very well.” A female voice sounded from the Void Realm; one could only hear the voice, but not see the person.

As the voice sounded, Lin Tao didn’t even have time to get out of the ring before he was instantly wiped out, then turned into a ball of pure Soul energy that overflowed from the ring.

The gap in power between the two was too vast.

Looking at the energy in his palm, Young Master Xiao Zimo looked mocking: ”I do not kill nobodies. Old Lin, have a safe journey. I will send Yao Xuan down to reunite with you very soon.”

”Still wanting a Soul Condensing Medicinal Pill? I only have a few dozen myself and still find them insufficient. You old geezer, you must be dreaming.” Young Master Xiao Zimo muttered to himself.

Yao Xuan surely could not have imagined that the Revered Master who betrayed him was already gone, and he might still be hiding somewhere cursing him right now.

...

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

A thousand miles away from Tianxuan Hall, streams of light and divine rainbows streaked across the sky.

Many experts from the Xuan World came from all directions.

There were those driving divine chariots, flying boats, and those riding Vicious Beasts and demonic barbarians; the auras of these people were extremely powerful.

They all came from thousand-year Imperial Dynasties, ten-thousand-year noble families, or Sects and Holy Lands like Tianxuan Hall.

”Is the news accurate?” On a flying boat, an old man spoke.

The old man was dressed in blue robes, with the bearing of an immortal; one look and it was clear he was not simple.

”The news was relayed by the Sect’s secret agents and should be reliable. That day was the Tianxuan Hall Young Lord selection competition, and many people saw that person; it is rumored that he is a Young Master who descended from the Upper Realm.”

”The Master of Tianxuan Hall was very respectful to him; it seems that that Young Master also has a great background in the Upper Realm.”

”A great background? Can it be greater than my granddaughter’s?”

”I heard that they even expelled my granddaughter’s sweetheart from the Sect? Tianxuan Hall is truly blind; such a heaven-defying Genius...” The blue-robed old man smiled, his eyes deep, giving people a feeling of being unfathomable.

”Hall Revered Master, something big has happened! A thousand miles away, a large number of forces have gathered, including the ancient Quan family, the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Taixu Holy Land...” A Disciple reported to the Elders in a panic.

”Just this? Panicking over a small matter, what kind of decorum is this?” An Elder frowned and scolded.

Seeing that the Hall Revered Master and the Elders did not take this matter to heart, their expressions were very calm.

The Disciple only came to his senses after a long while: ”So our Tianxuan Hall is this strong?”

”Hall Revered Master, you truly have foresight, establishing a relationship with Young Master Xiao in advance.” An Elder said.

Once someone started, other Elders also laughed and began to flatter the Master of Tianxuan Hall.

The Master of Tianxuan Hall was quite pleased with the boasting words and admiring gazes of the various Elders.

However, on the surface, he maintained a dignified appearance and waved his hand: ”It has little to do with me; it is all my daughter’s credit.”

”Yes, yes, it is all thanks to the Hall Revered Master for having such a good daughter!”

”Hall Revered Master, I have observed that Yanran has been getting closer and closer to Young Master Xiao these past few days; she might even be able to follow Young Master Xiao to the Upper Realm.”

The group of Elders began to flatter the Master of Tianxuan Hall again.
