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

42: Blood Nine’s death, taking the blameSomewhere in Tianyang Valley.

Eight bloody figures were hidden in a dark cave, seemingly conversing about something.

”Boss, Old Ninth went to the human world for food, and just yesterday, his blood seal shattered.”

The shattering of the blood seal proved that Blood Ninth had died.

Hearing the report from his subordinate, the tallest and most terrifying bloody figure among them, who was the leader, immediately erupted with horrifying and chilling demonic energy, and a cold, piercing voice rang out.

”Despicable humans, it is their honor to become nourishment for our Blood Demon Clan! Who was so audacious as to kill Blood Ninth?!”

This tallest Blood Demon was the leader of the Blood Demon Clan here—the Blood Lord.

The one who had just reported was one of the nine great commanders here, ranked fifth, named Blood Fifth. Now that Blood Ninth had been killed by a human, only eight of the nine great commanders remained.

Listening to the Blood Lord’s words, Blood Fifth bowed his head, his expression respectful.

”Boss, I’m not sure exactly who killed Blood Ninth, but...”

Blood Fifth hesitated to speak.

”But what?”

”There’s a rumor among humans that Ye Chen of the Ye Family in Ye City was killed yesterday. It’s said that he was from our Blood Demon Clan, and his strength was quite astonishing, so it’s very likely he was Blood Ninth. However, the one who killed him seems to be from Tianxuan Sect.”

Listening to the report from his subordinate, the tall bloody figure’s massive blood-red hand clenched tightly, and the anger and hatred in his enormous blood-red eyes were unmistakable.

After reporting the news, Blood Fifth respectfully withdrew, but as he turned, a strange glint appeared in his eyes...

Mu Wuchen had no idea that while he lay with his head on the fox’s leg, a huge pot had already been placed over his head.

Now, the fox spirit’s leg had become Mu Wuchen’s exclusive pillow; it was not only fragrant and soft, but it also came with two soft white clouds above, forming a sunshade.

Mu Wuchen cleared the clouds to see the sun.

”What’s wrong, Master?”

Su Meier’s confused voice came.

”Nothing, I just feel like something from yesterday’s events isn’t quite right; it seems like something was overlooked.”

”According to what Ye Chen said, the Ye Family Grand Elder colluded with the demon race and massacred the ancestors. Logically, that should be correct. But the Ye Family Grand Elder was neither possessed nor corrupted by the demon race, nor did he possess anything containing demonic aura. According to the demon race’s way of doing things, they would never act like this. This matter is somewhat strange.”

Listening to Mu Wuchen’s words, Su Meier also furrowed her brows slightly.

”Are you saying that there’s someone else behind the Ye Family, and although this person is related to the demon race, they might not necessarily be a demon?”

Mu Wuchen neither confirmed nor denied.

Now that the Ye Family Grand Elder was gone, the clues were broken, and everything could only be discussed later.

Mu Wuchen took out the black long saber he had acquired from Ye Chen and began to play with it.

The long saber was no ordinary item; it was incredibly sharp. However, without Yinger as its blade spirit, it could no longer transform into a blood saber, and its power was greatly diminished. Although it could still summon heavenly lightning by mobilizing a trace of the power of heaven and earth, for Mu Wuchen at this time, it was clearly a bit flashy and didn’t significantly improve his actual combat strength.

He currently lacked a suitable weapon.

Mu Wuchen’s luck was clearly not very good now. He had received so many rewards, yet he hadn’t even gotten a top-grade weapon. Originally, the system was only Tier 1, and the weapons that could be exchanged could only go up to Linghai Realm peak. Such weapons were like cotton in his hands, soft and weak, not even fit for a dog.

If Mu Wuchen’s thoughts were heard by others, they would probably curse him: Are you being polite?

”System, open the system store. I want to exchange for a weapon.”

Within the system, countless weapon descriptions appeared before Mu Wuchen’s eyes.

[Heavenly Martial God Halberd: Mystic Infant peak mid-to-long range melee weapon, 4000 Luck Points]

[Archer God Sun-Shooting Bow: Mystic Infant peak long-range weapon, 4500 Luck Points]

[Milky Way Baseball Bat: Mystic Infant peak melee weapon, 3500 Luck Points]

[Kun Kun’s Basketball: Mystic Infant peak useless weapon, 0.6 Luck Points]

...

After the system upgrade, the price cap changed from 1000 to 5000, and the quality also improved significantly, making Mu Wuchen dizzy and somewhat indecisive.

Ultimately, Mu Wuchen chose a sword.

[Xuanyuan Sword (Damaged): Mystic Infant peak melee weapon, 5000 Luck Points]

In the blink of an eye, a golden longsword appeared in Mu Wuchen’s hand.

The longsword glowed with holy light and shone with golden brilliance. On one side of the sword body, the sun, moon, and stars were depicted, while on the other side, mountains, rivers, and plants were drawn. Ancient characters were carved on the hilt. Just by its appearance, one could tell it was extraordinary.

Mu Wuchen’s choice of this sword naturally had his considerations: firstly, its price had reached the current spending limit, indicating its undeniable power; secondly, coming to Tianyang Valley was to deal with the demon race, and the Xuanyuan Sword was precisely a demon-slaying sword, which would yield twice the results with half the effort against the demon race; thirdly, the system description indicated it was only a damaged sword, clearly having much room for future improvement.

Mu Wuchen then browsed the system store and found that he could now directly exchange for cultivation. Linghai Realm cultivation cost 2000 Luck Points per minor realm. Mu Wuchen directly spent 4000 Luck Points to exchange for Linghai Realm Ninth Layer.

With Linghai Realm Ninth Layer cultivation, he could already prepare to break through to Mystic Infant. The process of forming an infant from the sea of spirit was a process of accumulating strength. The higher the grade of the formed infant, the stronger the power and the greater the future development potential, so it could not be taken lightly.

On the Golden Winged Roc, Su Meier clearly felt Mu Wuchen’s aura begin to climb, seemingly having broken through, and the golden great treasure sword that appeared in his hand was clearly no ordinary item either.

However, Su Meier was already used to it; Mu Wuchen was an Ancient Emperor, not something a tender, dewy little fox spirit like her could imagine!

Even Yun Li, who was beside them, felt the change in Mu Wuchen’s aura and turned her head to look. However, with Yun Li’s Linghai Realm Sixth Layer strength, she was already somewhat unable to discern Mu Wuchen’s realm and could only ask curiously.

”Senior Brother Mu, you’ve broken through again?”

Mu Wuchen nodded.

”Senior Brother Mu, what is your current realm...?”

Yun Li asked somewhat cautiously. Generally speaking, asking such a question between cultivators who weren’t close was very impolite. However, Yun Li felt that she had been honest with Mu Wuchen at least six times.

Although she and Mu Wuchen weren’t exactly ’know thyself and know thy enemy,’ they were at least in a ’know thyself but not thy enemy’ relationship. Asking about his cultivation shouldn’t be a problem, right?

Mu Wuchen also had no intention of hiding it and humbly replied:

”Not strong, not strong at all, just Linghai Realm Ninth Layer. In a few more months, I’ll reach Mystic Infant. An ordinary Linghai Realm peak cultivator can probably be skewered like candied hawthorns with one sword.”

Upon hearing Mu Wuchen’s answer, Yun Li was utterly astonished.

Before fighting Lin Fan, she had heard of Mu Wuchen’s strength. At that time, she felt that Mu Wuchen should be weaker than her.

After watching Mu Wuchen and Lin Fan’s duel, she felt that Mu Wuchen’s strength should be slightly stronger than hers.

And a few days ago, when facing Ye Chen, Ye Chen, whom she couldn’t defeat, was no match for Mu Wuchen at all. At this point, she felt that Mu Wuchen should be much stronger than her.

But now it seemed that the gap between Mu Wuchen and her was likely even greater than she had imagined...
