Villain: I Can See Destiny

41: Chapter 41 Invincible Double PupilsMeanwhile, outside the Buhuo Small World.

Four people of various appearances stood above the Void Realm, gazing out at the Buhuo World.

These four were the bodyguards of Xiao Xianyun, known as the Four Devils.

”Boss, is it really okay for us to just stand here and wait for the Young Miss?” the third one said with some concern.

”That’s right, Big Brother. If the Demon Venerable finds out that this is how we’re protecting the Young Miss, we’ll likely face a fate worse than death,” the second one chimed in.

”Then what can we do? Almost all the immortal clan forces from the Upper Realm are inside. We are demonic cultivators; wouldn’t going in be courting death?”

The leader shot them a glare and snapped impatiently.

”The Demon Venerable should be understanding, right? The Young Miss is just going home; what danger could there possibly be?” The leader sounded somewhat insecure.

”There are still so many delicious things I haven’t eaten yet. I don’t want to die. How about we just run away? Besides, the Demon Venerable is trapped in Tianhai Village and can’t get out.”

The fourth one said, filled with fear.

As soon as those words were spoken, the other three devils looked at the fourth one as if he were an idiot.

Feeling somewhat guilty under their gaze, the fourth one asked weakly, ”Is... is that not okay?”

”Sigh.” The three of them sighed in unison.

”Your intelligence is truly hopeless. No one has ever left the Land Beyond Immortality before. If it weren’t for the Demon Venerable worrying about the Young Miss’s safety, we wouldn’t have had the chance to come out in our entire lives.”

”But if you think that getting out means you’ve gained freedom, you are sorely mistaken.”

”Have you forgotten the pill the Demon Venerable made us take when we left the Land Beyond Immortality?”

”I guarantee that this is definitely the leverage the Demon Venerable used to let us out.”

”Perhaps the Demon Venerable is using a great Divine Ability to monitor us right now.”

The second one explained the reasoning first, then proceeded to scare the fourth one.

”Then... then what do I do? Didn’t Lord Demon Venerable hear what I just said?”

The fourth one trembled all over, terrified.

”Don’t worry, it’ll be fine. When the time comes, I’ll put in a good word for you, and the Demon Venerable will let you off.”

The second one teased.

”Then my life depends entirely on you, Second Brother.”

The fourth one said earnestly, seemingly not realizing it was a joke.

What they didn’t know was that everything happening here was being observed by Di Haiyao in the Land Beyond Immortality.

...

When the sky shifted from dark to bright and space returned to normal, everyone finally saw clearly what had happened.

Above the sky, Young Master Xiao Zimo was cradling Xiao Xianyun with one arm while blocking Xiao Yi’s attack with the other.

This was not intentional on Xiao Yi’s part; having fought to this extent, the power was no longer something he could control.

Precisely because of this, Young Master Xiao Zimo had been using his Double Pupils to observe the battle throughout the final confrontation.

The moment he saw Xiao Xianyun collapse from exhaustion and faint, he rushed forward decisively.

And thus, this was the scene everyone witnessed.

At this moment, Xiao Yi’s aura was weak, and his magical power was exhausted; it could be considered a pyrrhic victory.

”The winner of today’s match is still Xiao Yi.”

Young Master Xiao Zimo’s voice echoed throughout the entire Hanging Island.

Although Xiao Xianyun had lost, no one mocked her for overestimating her own capabilities.

The power she displayed had already far exceeded that of Xiao Sha yesterday.

One could only say that the ability of the Double Pupils was too monstrous, actually being able to instantly restore all states to their Peak.

No wonder there had been rumors since ancient times that the Double Pupils were the path to invincibility.

Thinking of this, everyone involuntarily looked up at Young Master Xiao Zimo in the sky, wanting to know if he would be able to defeat Xiao Yi tomorrow.

Young Master Xiao Zimo wasn’t thinking about that much right now; he only had one thought in mind.

That was to take Xiao Xianyun back to his sleeping quarters to treat her injuries; she was still heavily wounded, which was the perfect opportunity for him to take advantage of the situation.

Just then, a voice rang out from below, interrupting Young Master Xiao Zimo’s train of thought.

”Young Clan Chief Zimo, since the Double Pupils are heavily injured today and cannot challenge you, why don’t you and I have a match? It would satisfy everyone’s curiosity, how about it?”

Young Master Xiao Zimo looked toward the source of the voice; it was a youth from the Lei Clan.

”Who are you?”

Young Master Xiao Zimo was somewhat confused. Who was this person? Did he have a grudge against him? Why did he have absolutely no memory of him?

The Lei Clan youth’s face clearly darkened upon hearing these words.

He hadn’t expected that even though he had been studying with Young Master Xiao Zimo for nearly two years, the other party didn’t even know his name.

”My name is Lei Xu, and I am the Young Clan Chief of the Lei Clan, as well as your classmate.”

Lei Xu emphasized the words ”classmate” heavily.

Classes at the Heavenly Dao Academy were divided according to cultivation Realm; people at the same Realm were in the same class.

”Lei Xu? I remember now. Second on the combat power ranking, I’ve long heard of your name.”

Young Master Xiao Zimo smiled, not feeling the slightest bit awkward.

In truth, this couldn’t be blamed on him; there were at least tens of thousands of people in a class, how could he possibly know them all?

Moreover, he rarely attended classes. Having finally escaped the shadow of school in his previous life, how could he possibly go back to attending school obediently in this life?

If it weren’t for Instructor Ruolin urging him every day, he might never have gone to a lecture once.

Every Disciple of the Heavenly Dao Academy had their own individual instructor.

And barring any major surprises, it would be the same instructor from enrollment until graduation.

An instructor could select at most ten Disciples within the same Realm.

Their ranking and point income were usually tied to the Disciples under their tutelage.

As for Young Master Xiao Zimo, he was a complete slacker. He hadn’t challenged any rankings; he spent his days either wandering around with Nangong Yi or secretly farming heavenly dao tokens...

In order to give him some motivation, Instructor Ruolin had truly exhausted all her efforts...

But with Young Master Xiao Zimo’s status, why would he care about such superficial fame?

However, don’t let his appearance fool you; Young Master Xiao Zimo’s reputation at the Heavenly Dao Academy was anything but small, certainly larger than the likes of Lei Xu.

This was all due to his legendary history and an appearance that no one could surpass.

Born as the Young Clan Chief of the Xiao Clan, a supreme Prodigy who ascended to the Dao Heaven Realm at eighteen—such a person, even without any dazzling combat achievements, was someone no one dared to underestimate.

Perhaps this was why Lei Xu wanted to challenge him.

”Brother Lei, how about next time? I still need to go treat my cousin’s injuries.”

Young Master Xiao Zimo gestured to the person he was still holding in his arms.

Young Master Xiao Zimo had no interest in boring battles; collecting Luck was more important.

”Young Clan Chief Zimo, are you afraid?”

”That’s right, although you and I are both at the Peak of the Dao Heaven Realm now, I am, after all, more than twenty years older than you; it’s quite normal to feel that you can’t win.”

Seeing that Young Master Xiao Zimo had no intention of fighting, Lei Xu got anxious and resorted to the most inferior form of provocation.

Although the tactic was cliché, one had to admit that sometimes it was indeed effective.

Young Master Xiao Zimo was successfully provoked. The Peak of the Dao Heaven Realm? Since that’s what you think, then I will defeat you using the cultivation of the Peak of the Dao Heaven Realm.

”Since you want to challenge me, I will give you this opportunity. However, I must warn you: you only have one chance to attack. After one strike, you will definitely be defeated!”

Young Master Xiao Zimo naturally wouldn’t be polite to someone who didn’t know what was good for them; since the other party was in such a rush to seek death, he would thoroughly fulfill his wish.

”How utterly arrogant!”

Lei Xu was also angered by Young Master Xiao Zimo’s words. Defeat him in one strike? Even Lin Tian wouldn’t dare to say such words!
