Villain: I Can See Destiny

61: Chapter 61 The Demonic Heart StirsIn the Void Realm, 13th Ancestor Xiao Hanyan’s lips curved slightly upward. A cold light flickered in her pale green eyes, and her cold, aloof face was filled with disdain.

”Scaring the mastermind behind the scenes? Is the Immortal Road being sealed because of a guilty conscience?”

13th Ancestor Xiao Hanyan shook her head gently and muttered to herself, ”The more ignorant one is, the more confident one becomes.”

A mere six hundred Peak Great Emperors want to break through the Immortal Road?

Without the intervention of the Eternal Immortal, those pieces of trash who cannot even defeat two low-grade, inferior dogs—what does it matter if they break through the Immortal Gate?

You have no idea where it leads. Let alone you, even an Immortal Emperor would perish there!

”Thirteenth Ancestor?” Seeing that there was no response from the Void Realm for a long time, Young Master Xiao Zimo could not help but call out again.

”Everything he said is true.” A cold, feminine voice sounded beside Young Master Xiao Zimo’s ear.

”Isn’t that obvious? Of course I know what he said is true.” Young Master Xiao Zimo was speechless in his heart.

”Is the mastermind he spoke of my Xiao Clan?” Seeing that the Thirteenth Ancestor was playing dumb, Young Master Xiao Zimo stopped beating around the bush.

After a long silence, the voice from the Void Realm sounded again: ”When the time is right, you will know.”

Seemingly feeling that this explanation was insufficient, she immediately added, ”Although the world is vast, you can roam it freely. My Xiao Clan fears no power!”

Young Master Xiao Zimo really couldn’t understand. The Thirteenth Ancestor’s latter sentence almost explicitly stated that the sealing of the Immortal Road was useless against the Xiao Clan.

Since it had reached this point, why was she still unwilling to admit that the Xiao Clan was the mastermind?

Could it be that the mastermind is actually the Qin Family? And they are simply not targeting the Xiao Clan?

The more Young Master Xiao Zimo thought about it, the more confused he became, so he probed, ”Thirteenth Ancestor, can you defeat that Eternal Immortal?”

”In the same Realm, I cannot defeat him.” The Thirteenth Ancestor answered very decisively, without any hesitation.

This... truly caught Young Master Xiao Zimo off guard.

The Thirteenth Ancestor actually couldn’t defeat the Eternal Immortal? He had thought that the Thirteenth Ancestor was invincible in the Upper Realm...

Young Master Xiao Zimo didn’t remain surprised for too long. After all, according to Xuan Yang’s description, this Eternal Immortal was too monstrous.

One person capable of holding off six hundred Peak Great Emperors—this combat power is simply too Heaven-Defying, right?

It was almost catching up to him, as if he were cheating.

But since the Thirteenth Ancestor couldn’t defeat the Eternal Immortal, she probably wouldn’t be the woman in black neon clothing that Xuan Yang spoke of.

Suddenly, Young Master Xiao Zimo recalled his second hypothesis from before.

Could all of this be a play staged by the Eternal Immortal and the Thirteenth Ancestor?

”What is the relationship between the Eternal Immortal and the Great Ancestor?” Young Master Xiao Zimo asked.

”Big Brother is currently using the Eternal Immortal’s body.”

”What?” This sentence shocked Young Master Xiao Zimo deeply. The Great Ancestor, whose appearance was second only to his own and who was like a banished immortal descending to the mortal world, was actually the Eternal Immortal?

But what did that phrase, ”currently using the Eternal Immortal’s body,” mean?

Did the Great Ancestor perform Possession on the Eternal Immortal?

Or was the Eternal Immortal actually the Great Ancestor, just that he was originally a member of the Xiao Clan, and later used the Immortal Sutra to undergo Reincarnation into the Eternal Immortal that Xuan Yang knew?

”It is still too early for you to know these things; when the time is right, you will know.” Seemingly knowing what Young Master Xiao Zimo wanted to ask next, the Thirteenth Ancestor’s cold voice rang out from the Void Realm.

”Yes.” Young Master Xiao Zimo lowered his head and replied. A flash of killing intent flickered in his eyes, and the demonic nature hidden deep within his heart began to subtly flare up.

He had considered himself the actual controller of the Xiao Clan, but now, he discovered that there were actually so many secrets within the clan that he did not know about.

Moreover, he had taken the initiative to ask, yet the Thirteenth Ancestor still wouldn’t tell him.

Although Young Master Xiao Zimo appeared approachable on the surface, he was arrogant and self-centered to the bone. The Thirteenth Ancestor’s refusal made him very dissatisfied.

If it weren’t for the fact that he couldn’t defeat her right now, he would definitely make her pay!

He really wanted to know what kind of stunning beauty the Thirteenth Ancestor, who was hiding in the Void Realm, was. She must be very arrogant, right?

He wondered what kind of expression she would have if he made her submit beneath him...

Suddenly, Young Master Xiao Zimo gently rubbed his forehead and thought to himself, ”What just happened? I actually wanted to kill the Thirteenth Ancestor? And I even had such rebellious thoughts... Is this the Demonic Heart that the Old Dean spoke of?”

”Are you alright?” The cold voice seemed to carry a hint of concern.

”I’m fine. It’s just that every time I ask you something, Thirteenth Ancestor, you won’t tell me, so I have to guess for myself. I was just overthinking things earlier, which gave me a bit of a headache.” Young Master Xiao Zimo chuckled, his voice calm, without any dissatisfaction.

13th Ancestor Xiao Hanyan did not respond to this question. She looked at Young Master Xiao Zimo from the Void Realm with a complex expression.

She muttered to herself, ”Brother Xiao Nai, don’t blame me. It’s not that I don’t want to tell you; all of this was your own decision. You will understand once you achieve Immortal Ascension.”

Although Young Master Xiao Zimo did not show any dissatisfaction, as his guardian, 13th Ancestor Xiao Hanyan had protected him closely for so many years; how could she not understand Young Master Xiao Zimo’s personality in this lifetime?

”The Qin Family?” Young Master Xiao Zimo murmured in his heart.

What he had said to Xuan Yang earlier was merely to deceive him. Investigate the Qin Family? He, Young Master Xiao Zimo, was not that idle.

However, since the Thirteenth Ancestor refused to tell him the truth, he would have to investigate it himself.

Even if there were some hidden immortal powers in the Upper Realm, none would be stronger than their two families. The mastermind behind the sealing of the Immortal Road was either the Qin Family or the Xiao Clan...

...

On his way back to his sleeping quarters, Young Master Xiao Zimo encountered two Disciples from the Earth Academy. Vaguely, he seemed to hear his own name.

So he walked over. One of them, upon seeing Young Master Xiao Zimo, seemed somewhat flustered. Before Young Master Xiao Zimo arrived, he hurriedly ran away.

”What are you arguing about? I seemed to hear my name.” Young Master Xiao Zimo asked the remaining person.

”The person who just left is called Xiaotong Bao. He is a die-hard fan of Lei Xu, a veteran bootlicker.”

”He actually said that Lei Xu being defeated by you was because he was going easy on you, and he also said that if it wasn’t for your coming-of-age ceremony that day, Lei Xu would have beaten you to a pulp long ago.”

”I refused to accept that, so I argued back and even showed him the recording crystal from that day, but he didn’t even watch for thirty seconds before concluding that Lei Xu was just going easy on you.” The remaining person said with a face full of indignation.

”What is your name?” Young Master Xiao Zimo asked.

”My name is Li Bojie.” The person said excitedly.

”Li Bojie, not a bad name. I’ll remember it.”

”Since you are defending me so staunchly, I cannot show no appreciation. This is a Talisman of Urgency; it can save your life when you encounter danger.” Young Master Xiao Zimo took out a yellow talisman from his storage ring and gave it to him.

”Thank you, Young Lord Xiao.” Li Bojie was very excited. He had only spoken up out of righteousness because he couldn’t stand the other person being so brainless, never expecting to attract the attention of the person himself.

After Li Bojie left, the smile on Young Master Xiao Zimo’s face suddenly sank.

He said coldly, ”Shadow Guards, go and kill Xiaotong Bao. Remember, don’t let him die too comfortably.”

”Understood.” A black shadow on the ground flashed by.

After casually disposing of Xiaotong Bao, Young Master Xiao Zimo composed his mood and continued walking toward his sleeping quarters.

Young Master Xiao Zimo did not take such brainless haters to heart.

In the academy, there were plenty of people who spoke ill of him behind his back. He couldn’t possibly be liked by everyone; there would always be some people with issues in their brains.

However, since he had encountered such a brainless hater, he would just dispose of him. Anyway, to him, it was as easy as crushing an ant, and it wouldn’t waste much time.

...

Flying in the sky, Young Master Xiao Zimo thought of the alluring little fox. The wicked fire in his heart could not help but begin to rise, and his flight speed increased again and again.
