Villain: I Can See Destiny

9: Chapter 9 The Yao Family is AnnihilatedThe events that took place at Tianxuan Hall soon caused a sensation throughout the entire Xuan World.

That Young Master from the Upper Realm released merely a wisp of his aura, and it was enough to leave the members of numerous factions unable to catch their breath.

For a time, the recording stones from that day sold like hotcakes, as many people wanted to witness the supreme demeanor of that Young Master from the Upper Realm.

Countless Cultivators were shocked.

It turned out that the Upper Realm truly existed and was not just a lie told by the older generation to trick them into Cultivating hard.

”The current Xuan World is truly ever-changing!”

”Indeed, to think that someone would come from the legendary Upper Realm...”

”Ascension has been extremely difficult since ancient times. For the past few thousand years, Ascension has become a legend, and coming down to the Lower Realm is even more impossible. Looking back at the history of the Xuan World, there has never been a precedent of someone returning after Ascension.”

”Tianxuan Hall is so lucky to have latched onto Young Master Xiao’s thigh, leaping to become the head of all factions in the Xuan World.”

”In a few days, when Tianxuan Hall holds its Disciple recruitment, I must have that brat of mine go and try his luck. Who knows, he might even get to see Young Master Xiao in person.”

Inside the tavern, everyone was drinking and discussing the matter.

”Speaking of Tianxuan Hall Disciples, one has to mention that True Disciple Yao Xuan. He actually took the initiative to renounce his status as a Tianxuan Hall Disciple.”

Someone nearby chimed in with a laugh.

”It is said that the number one beauty of the Xuan World, whom he could never obtain, had her heart captured with ease by Young Master Xiao. Driven by jealousy, he overestimated his own ability and went to challenge Young Master Xiao. Hehe, the result was that Young Master Xiao just stood in front of him, and the pressure forced Yao Xuan to kneel on the ground, prostrate...”

”Tsk tsk, to think that in this day and age, there is still someone who wants a toad to eat swan meat. How could he possibly be worthy of the number one beauty of the Xuan World?”

Everyone drank their wine while mocking Yao Xuan.

This incident had become the talk of the town in taverns, brothels, ancient cities, and many other places.

In a certain ancient city, a sallow and emaciated man was hurrying along the road.

Hearing the discussions around him made his already unsightly Face look even worse, and his clenched fists cracked and popped.

Afterward, he touched his chest, which was still throbbing with pain, his eyes filled with coldness and hatred.

”Xia Yanran, you bitch, to think you would treat me like this...”

”Young Master Xiao Zimo, Revered Master, one day you will both regret this.”

This person was Yao Xuan, who had disguised himself and changed his appearance.

With just a single word, Young Master Xiao Zimo had turned him into a rat crossing the street. Many factions had issued wanted orders for him, and there was no longer any place for him in the entire Xuan World.

He no longer dared to travel using his true Face.

Yao Xuan was preparing to go to some backwater place to Cultivate in a low-profile manner. He refused to believe that Young Master Xiao Zimo could cover the sky with one hand.

Yao Xuan had planned it out well.

Young Master Xiao Zimo could not stay in the Lower Realm forever. After he left, he would disguise himself and join another faction. Relying on his talent for Cultivating, he would be able to soar into the sky very soon.

Once he achieved Ascension to the Upper Realm and joined a major faction, would he still need to fear Young Master Xiao Zimo then?

Isn’t it just because he has a bit of background that he can bully him like this?

...

”Three days from now, Tianxuan Hall will hold its Disciple recruitment ceremony. Given Tianxuan Hall’s current influence, Prodigies from the entire Xuan World will come to attend. Does Young Master intend to watch?”

Xia Yanran asked.

Young Master Xiao Zimo pondered for a moment and nodded.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

High in the sky outside Tianxuan Hall.

Incredibly magnificent flying boats hovered, shimmering with colorful light, their runes brilliant.

These were various factions escorting their Disciples to participate in the Tianxuan Hall Disciple selection competition.

After today, Tianxuan Hall would truly deserve the title of the number one faction in the Xuan World.

The Prodigies who came this time included Li Tian of the Taixu Holy Land, Prince Zhou Ge of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Quan Chen of the ancient Quan Family, Lin Chu of the ancient Lin Family... These were all top Prodigies of the younger generation in the Xuan World.

The selection soon began.

On the viewing platform, Young Master Xiao Zimo suddenly smiled: ”Yanran, do you wish to accompany me back to the Upper Realm?”

Usually, Xia Yanran would be very excited to hear these words.

But at this moment, her expression was very calm: ”Young Master, how many times have you teased me with this question?”

”Sigh, Yanran is not as cute as she used to be.”

Young Master Xiao Zimo shook his head in dissatisfaction, then gently pulled her into his embrace.

He just loved to see Xia Yanran looking shy and annoyed.

The battles below were extremely intense; in order to perform well in front of Young Master Xiao Zimo, they used their full strength in every strike.

Young Master Xiao Zimo, however, didn’t even glance down, only concerned with teasing his little maid on the platform.

A god high above had no interest in the competitions of Mortals.

Agreeing to watch was merely giving his maid some Face.

...

”Young Master...”

Xia Yanran hesitated to speak.

”What is it?”

Young Master Xiao Zimo said softly, thinking she had encountered some difficulty.

Xia Yanran hesitated for a moment: ”Young Master, the Yao Family in the Desolate Domain was united against and exterminated by surrounding noble families. Except for Yao Xuan, who was hiding outside, not a single person in the entire Family was left alive...”

Seeing the look of unbearable pity on Xia Yanran’s Face, Young Master Xiao Zimo gently stroked her head and comforted her: ”This is not your fault; we did not order anyone to target his Family.”

”It can only be said that this was all Yao Xuan’s own doing. One should think of the consequences before acting. It’s not like I could have specifically ordered someone to protect the safety of his Family, right?”

Young Master Xiao Zimo had no intention of targeting Yao Xuan’s Family; it was entirely the people below who wanted to curry favor with him and did so on their own accord.

Although he did not like this approach, he could not possibly avenge Yao Xuan either.

This was the cruelty of the Cultivation world; those without a powerful background could barely move an inch, and if someone didn’t like the look of you one day, you would be gone.

Even after being dyed again and again by the great melting pot of this world, he still retained a shred of conscience.

As long as Young Master Xiao Zimo’s interests were not harmed, he was usually quite easy to talk to.

Those who offended Young Master Xiao Zimo might have their Family implicated...

But in the case of a Child of Destiny, where he, Young Master Xiao Zimo, took the initiative to find fault, he generally would not touch the other party’s Family.

But if the other party did not honestly accept their death and made Young Master Xiao Zimo unhappy, he would generally dig them up...
