I Truly Am The Villian-Chapter 1089 - 1088: We Don’t Want to Be Enemies

Chapter 1089 -1088: We Don’t Want to Be Enemies

As the Demonic Qi erupted, Emperor Ming’s eyes became like those of a Monster Beast, and the beastly aura surged forth.

A dark fog enveloped him.

“Kill me,” he said while looking at the Imperial Sword in his hand, speaking once again.

“Don’t waste your strength, you cannot kill him,” at this moment, a human face emerged from the dark fog behind Emperor Ming, speaking indifferently.

“Who are you?” Jiang Yun asked.

“The Three Thousand Taoist Courts, Hongmeng Demon Palace, Golden Roc Divine Sect, and Unity God Sect, all you little ones have gathered,” the face said with a smile.

“How come those old fogeys didn’t show?

Sending youngsters to their death.”

“Who exactly are you?” Feather Emperor spoke up.

“Haven’t you all come for my sake?” the face said with a light laugh.

Arms formed from the dark fog, grasping Emperor Ming and taking him away into the distance.

“Kill me,” Emperor Ming’s voice was still echoing continuously.

“Don’t let him take Emperor Ming away,” Jiang Yun shouted lightly.

Spiritual Energy surged around him as he took the lead in pursuit.

Everyone followed behind, attempting to chase down Emperor Ming.

Yet halfway through, countless Witch Demons flew towards them.

These Witch Demons surrounded from all sides, not attacking, merely disrupting everyone’s movements.

“You all will be imprisoned here,” the face’s voice came from afar.

“When our Witch Demon race sees the light of day again, you will regain your freedom.”

The next moment, the Witch Demons vanished, and towering black beams of light shot up into the sky from all around them.

They dyed the Firmament and then fell down like a cage, trapping everyone within.

Xu Zimei sensed around and realized that the dark fog had a corrosive effect.

It could corrode not just the flesh but instantly dissolve both the soul and the True Fate.

One could say it was fatal upon contact.

……

“What do we do now, everyone?” Xu Zimei asked.

He knew that these people must have a way out.

“It seems Emperor Ming has indeed perished here,” Jiang Yun said with a frown.

Although Emperor Ming had appeared just now, everyone could feel that he was left with only an empty shell.

His True Fate and core of his Way had been polluted.

“Gongyang Ce was right, the Witch Demons are just a step away,” Gui Che said with a muffled voice.

“We arrived just in time.”

Seeing Xu Zimei’s puzzled look, Bai Tihe explained, “Do you know why we all gathered here?”

“To chase after the lost treasures of our sects,” Xu Zimei replied.

“You have explained this to me before, but I didn’t believe it.”

“That’s correct, pursuing the treasures is only one reason,” Bai Tihe said.

“We didn’t tell you because we couldn’t fully trust you.”

With that, Bai Tihe continued, “The Witch Demon clan has a new plan, seeking to reignite the calamity of the Witch Demons.

We received the message a long time ago.

So we asked Gongyang Ce, the First Mystery, to divine our fate, and we didn’t expect it to be related to Emperor Ming.”

“And then?” Xu Zimei asked.

“The situation is more complicated than you imagine, I think instead of my explanation, the scene you’re about to see will be more convincing,” Bai Tihe said.

He took something out from the Storage Ring.

It was a cage containing insects.

These insects were not ordinary, each one emitting a fluorescent glow, their faint light like an everlasting flame.

No matter how they flickered, their light was eternally undying.

“The cages surrounding us are composed of the Witch Demon Qi,” Bai Tihe explained.

“These are Demon-Eating Insects, they can help us escape from here.”

“So you were prepared all along,” Xu Zimei said.

“If nothing unexpected happens at this moment, our ancestors should already be guarding the perimeter of the mini-world.”

Feather Emperor replied: “By then, not a single Witch Demon will escape.”

When he said this, his intent to kill was dense and imposing beyond measure.

The ancestors he mentioned naturally referred to the strongest and the founders of the various Taoist Courts.

“Everything was originally in the plan,” Gui Che said in a muffled voice, glancing at Bai Tihe.

He continued: “However, some harbor ulterior motives, wishing to break away and claim the glory alone.”

His meaning was clear without explicit mention.

Bai Tihe wanted to cooperate with Xu Zimei to claim all the credit for himself, and Zimo had no need for any credit.

“I’m just leaving myself a way out, just in case something goes wrong,” Bai Tihe said with a smile.

Feather Emperor did not speak but released the Demon-Eating Insects he held in his hand.

The insects fluttered about for a while before suddenly rushing towards the surrounding overwhelming Demonic Qi of the Witch Demons.

“These insects are of an Exotic Species, specifically sought out for the Witch Demons,” Feather Emperor said contentedly, watching the insects consuming the Demonic Qi of the Witch Demons.

It wasn’t long before they had eaten away the Witch Demon prison to create a small portal.

“Let’s go,” the people exchanged glances and squeezed out through the portal.

But Xu Zimei did not leave and remained inside.

“What’s wrong, Taoist brother?” Bai Tihe asked.

“You go ahead, I’ll wait here for you,” Xu Zimei said with a smile.

“Don’t you want to know the truth?” asked Feather Emperor.

“The more you know, the less interesting it becomes, and it’s of no benefit,” Xu Zimei waved his hand.

“I shall not partake in your affairs.”

The people scrutinized Xu Zimei carefully, skepticism evident in their gazes.

“If that is the case, then we won’t insist,” Feather Emperor said with a smile, and the rest walked out from the cage.

The Demon-Eating Insects were retrieved, and the cage was sealed up once again.

After everything around had returned to calm, Xu Zimei finally looked up, and said with a faint smile: “Speak, what business do you have with me?”

The Firmament above showed no signs of disturbance as a figure appeared in the sky, unknown when it had arrived.

This figure was precisely the Witch Demon who had previously helped Xu Zimei to slay the Flame Lion and take the Beast Bone.

“We do not wish to be at odds with your esteemed self over this matter,” the Witch Demon said.

“Do you recognize me?” Xu Zimei asked.

“I do not, but someone does,” the Witch Demon replied.

“This affair is muddy waters; it’s not beneficial for your esteemed self, but there’s also no harm.”

“Who?” Xu Zimei asked, frowning.

“I cannot say, but you will meet them in the future,” the Witch Demon replied.

“If your esteemed self has any questions, I can answer them for you.

But with this matter, we truly do not wish to be your enemies.”

Xu Zimei did not speak, he was contemplating.

The gains and losses of this affair indeed had nothing to do with him.

“I wish to know about Emperor Ming,” Xu Zimei replied.

“Please follow me,” the Witch Demon waved, the cage shattered around them, and a Void Gate appeared before their eyes.

Following behind the Witch Demon, Xu Zimei stepped through as well.

As soon as he entered the Void, Xu Zimei felt a peculiar power.

It was as though time was being rewound.

Traces of the River of Time flowed within the Void.

He walked on air, as if strolling through the river of time.

Continuously moving forward, tracing back the origins of certain matters.

All of a sudden, the Void trembled, the scene began to spin, the heavens and earth turned upside down.
