Villain: Let Go of the Girl of Luck, Let Me Take Over!!

52: The secret room is broken, the demons invadeAs the sculpture moved, an extremely concealed secret passage entrance appeared before their eyes.

The temple abbot’s expression turned solemn; he had been here for so many years and had never discovered it.

”There really is something down here.”

The group followed the secret passage entrance deeper, and soon reached its end. However, to everyone’s disappointment, the end of the secret passage was empty; whatever was inside seemed to have already been taken.

”The contents here have been taken by someone.”

Mu Wuchen said indifferently.

The temple abbot’s expression turned stern.

”According to your meaning, young friend, that servant Yang Yi took the treasure here? But how could a mere mortal like him know how to open this secret room?”

Mu Wuchen shook his head. However, there was never any logic to the Son of Destiny; just because others couldn’t do it didn’t mean he couldn’t.

Mu Wuchen’s Heavenly Eye activated again, and various details in the secret room’s air reappeared in his eyes.

This was where he had observed the strongest treasure light, and it was also where the light gradually dissipated.

Just then, Mu Wuchen’s eyes suddenly showed a look of interest.

”How interesting. The spiritual energy fluctuations here are very strange. There’s the aura of a mortal, the aura of a Body Refinement Realm cultivator, the aura of a Qi Condensation cultivator, the aura of a Huaxu Realm cultivator, and also the aura of a Linghai Realm cultivator.”

At this, not only the abbot, but even Su Meier and Yun Li cast curious glances.

”Could it be that more than one person entered the secret room, but a group of people?”

Mu Wuchen slowly shook his head.

”Not a group of people, just one person. If my guess is correct, that Yang Yi broke through several realms here, going from a mere mortal, directly crossing the Body Refinement, Qi Condensation, and Huaxu Realm major realms, and directly breaking through to Linghai Realm!”

Everyone was startled.

What kind of fortuitous encounter could allow a mere mortal to cross several major realms consecutively?

Even the Lapis Lazuli Colorful Phoenix inheritance Yun Li received only elevated her by a few minor realms, and she was already a favored child of heaven.

And Yang Yi?

He was nothing more than an ordinary, utterly unremarkable sweeping servant!

An ordinary servant, whose cultivation hadn’t advanced an inch in over a decade, how could he suddenly achieve such immense cultivation progress and then, in a fit of madness, murder his fellow disciples and flee?

Mu Wuchen smiled slightly. He already knew what the abbot was thinking; he just needed to add fuel to the fire to completely ruin Yang Yi’s reputation.

”That’s right, it’s exactly as you think. Righteous paths won’t work, but evil paths can!”

”There’s a faint trace of an Ancient Demon’s aura within the aura here. Perhaps that Ancient Demon once helped humans and was respected by the world, but what he left behind is still a demonic item. Faced with such power, that Yang Yi would inevitably lose his true nature!”

Hearing Mu Wuchen’s words, the abbot stumbled, taking several steps backward, his eyes filled with sorrow.

He now basically believed Mu Wuchen’s words.

Righteous cultivation methods emphasize gradual progress, step by step. To ascend several minor realms at once is already an astonishing stroke of luck.

But a treasure that could allow a mortal with no cultivation to ascend several major realms in a short time, he had never even heard of it, let alone seen it.

Only those deviant and evil paths could achieve such a thing!

What else could the item under the Ancient Demon sculpture be, if not something belonging to demons?

Moreover, the timing of Yang Yi’s demonization was also unfortunate, coinciding precisely with the sensitive period of the demon invasion of Tianyang Valley. If the truth were to be exposed later, and they knew but did not report it, then forces that harbored deep hatred for demons would likely raze this place!

”Yang Yi, how foolish! How could he go astray for the sake of power!”

Mu Wuchen’s eyes also showed a look of regret.

”Since things have come to this, Abbot, there’s no need to be overly sad. But we three have come to eliminate demons and cannot allow him to continue his evil deeds.”

Listening to Mu Wuchen’s words, the abbot’s gaze shifted from conflicted to resolute.

”Young friend, your righteousness is admirable. Previously, this old man was mistaken, wanting to conceal the news of Yang Yi possibly being an evil demon for selfish reasons. Now that the evidence is conclusive, I naturally will no longer conceal it!”

Mu Wuchen’s face showed respect, and he slightly cupped his fists.

”Abbot, your righteousness!”

Mu Wuchen’s face was expressionless, but inwardly he was overjoyed. This kind of Son of Destiny was very likely to build his own base of support through his charisma and strength.

But if he was an evil demon who harmed his fellow disciples, would anyone still be willing to approach him?

When Mu Wuchen, the abbot, and the two girls, Su Meier and Yun Li, left the secret room, they saw the corpulent servant waiting outside, pacing back and forth, looking preoccupied.

Seeing Mu Wuchen and the others emerge, he quickly approached, his expression somewhat nervous, unsure of what had transpired in the secret passage with the abbot and the others.

”Abbot, Yang Yi he...”

Hearing the corpulent servant’s question, the abbot’s expression turned stern.

”Go and inform the forces within a hundred li radius: our temple’s servant, Yang Yi, has practiced evil arts and massacred his fellow disciples. The evidence is conclusive. He has now been expelled from the divine temple. Please inform other forces of this!”

Although the abbot was submissive in front of Mu Wuchen and the others, within the entire temple, he was an authoritative figure who held absolute sway. Hearing his command, the corpulent man immediately scurried away.

As the news spread, the surrounding sects and forces were greatly shaken.

Several nearby forces immediately went on high alert and notified their disciples cultivating outside to be wary of Yang Yi. Some people in the vicinity had already fallen victim, and who could guarantee they wouldn’t be next?

This time, only one disciple suffered a tragic fate, which was a blessing in disguise. But next time, it might not be so fortunate; it could very well be a tragedy of extermination by demons!

However, just as Mu Wuchen had arranged everything and was preparing to leave with the two girls, Su Meier and Yun Li, a sudden change occurred!

The originally clear sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds. A howling wind enveloped an area of several li, and vast demonic energy emanated from the dark clouds, accompanied by chilling wailing sounds that made people shiver involuntarily.

After a few breaths, a giant vertical eye in the sky slowly opened...

Mu Wuchen’s eyes narrowed slightly, but his expression remained as calm as an ancient well, and his white robes began to dance lightly in the wind.

Then he suddenly paused. Not far away, he sensed a familiar aura.

Beside him, Yun Li saw the vertical eye in the sky open, and her expression slightly tightened. Just as she was about to act, Mu Wuchen grabbed her small hand.

”Wait a little longer.”

Seeing Mu Wuchen hold her back, Yun Li no longer thought of going forward. She nodded slightly and retreated behind Mu Wuchen again.

The temple abbot, as the strongest person here, had intended to ascend into the air to check the situation, but before he could even take flight, he, a Hua Xu Realm cultivator, was suppressed by the terrifying demonic energy and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Hundreds of cultivators and servants within the temple, seeing that their strongest cultivator, the abbot, couldn’t even withstand a single attack, immediately showed expressions of despair.

”The demons are here, run!”

Wails and cries instantly erupted.
