Villain: Her Imagination Makes Me Invincible

Chapter 29: Is it because… you can’t bear to part with it? 

“Heh, you, the newly appointed Demon Lord… you are indeed quite arrogant!” Across from him, the black-robed man sneered, “Unfortunately, you still seem very young and can’t grasp the current situation!”

A mid-stage Divine Source and a late-stage Divine Source, facing Ling Xue together, still had room to fight.

Besides…

The black-robed man then turned around, facing the other factions’ experts watching the scene in the crimson space, and loudly declared, “Everyone, the Demon Sect has been rampantly tyrannical, killing the innocent recklessly, and deserves death!”

“Back then, everyone was trampled under the Demon Sect’s feet! I believe none of you want to return to those days!”

“I believe none of you enjoy that feeling of inferiority!”

“Right now, the Demon Lord of the Demon Sect is right here! The future of the Demon Sect is right here!”

“Eliminate him, and the Demon Sect will cease to exist!”

“If all of you join forces with us, wouldn’t we be doing the world a great favor?”

“This opportunity… may never come again!”

“Eradicating the Demon Sect is right in front of us!”

“What are you all waiting for?”

The black-robed man’s voice echoed throughout the crimson space.

This caused many of the surrounding experts, who were initially just watching, to exchange glances.

Indeed, quite a few Divine Source cultivators are present today.

If all the experts from various factions joined forces to deal with Ling Xue, today, they could surely eradicate the Demon Sect!

Killing Ling Xue would be equivalent to destroying the Demon Sect.

It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Here, no one could come to Ling Xue’s or the Demon Sect’s aid.

If everyone attacked together, there was indeed a chance.

Now, with the black-robed man’s instigation, quite a few people felt a stir in their hearts.

This was not only a good chance to kill the Demon Sect but also an opportunity to establish great merit.

Killing the Demon Lord—what a monumental achievement that would be!

Missing this chance… would truly be a missed opportunity!

At the back of the crowd, Yun Luoxi swept her beautiful eyes over the scene and furrowed her brows.

She could clearly see that some people… were indeed planning to take action.

“Master…”

Immediately, her gaze turned to Liu Wenwan beside her. Her master… could she also be planning to take action?  

She said, “This is indeed a good chance to kill him!”

Liu Wenwan’s expression turned serious, “But… if we fail to kill him, the consequences will be catastrophic!”

She continued, “If they killed Ling Xue today, along with all the members of the Demon Sect, then everyone would have achieved great success.”

“But if they failed to kill Ling Xue, if they couldn’t wipe out the entire Demon Sect,

the Demon Sect’s retaliation would be fatal.”

“Her small Spirit Ruins Sect would definitely not be able to withstand the wrath of a vengeful Demon Sect!”

“So, Master… are you going to make a move?” Yun Luoxi furrowed her brows even deeper.

Liu Wenwan shook her head and met Yun Luoxi’s gaze, “You decide. If you think I should take action, then I will. If we fail to kill him… just say it was your idea. After all, he won’t do anything to you!”

This was a clever idea.

Yun Luoxi was the perfect scapegoat.

Ling Xue had a strange soft spot for her.

Upon hearing Liu Wenwan’s words, Yun Luoxi hesitated and thought.

Should they take action?  

Her clear eyes looked toward Ling Xue in the distance.  

Did she really want to see him die?  

Did she truly want to see him bloodied, lying before her?  

Did she really want to see him killed by everyone here?  

Did she really want to see everyone’s weapons all strike down on him?  

As these images formed in her mind, a sudden, inexplicable pain gripped Yun Luoxi’s heart!

No, that was not the scene she wanted to see!  

Why?  

Was it because… she couldn’t bear to see him die?  

As soon as this thought emerged, Yun Luoxi’s heart jolted!

She hurriedly suppressed this cursed and unworthy thought.

She would never have such thoughts.

She would never be reluctant to see him die!

“We won’t take action!” Yun Luoxi quickly regained her composure and said rationally, “He has now mastered the Qiankun Sword Art, and his true strength likely rivals the Extreme Martial Realm! Even if everyone here joins forces, they may not be his match!”

This was her rational judgment.

How terrifying was the Qiankun Sword Art?

Yun Luoxi continued, “Ling Xue instantly killed an early-stage Divine Source cultivator! Even if everyone here joined forces, they probably wouldn’t be able to defeat Ling Xue. So… it was best for her master not to get involved.”

She didn’t want to see the entire Spirit Ruins Sect brought down in the process.

Upon hearing Yun Luoxi’s words, Liu Wenwan nodded slightly.

Not taking action was indeed a wise choice. But…

Liu Wenwan’s gaze lingered on Yun Luoxi’s expression and she thought.

Was her good disciple’s reason for not taking action really only because they didn’t have a chance of killing Ling Xue?  

Perhaps… there was also a bit of personal sentiment involved?  

At this moment, within the crimson space, after a brief hesitation, many people stood up.

“Hahaha! What you say makes sense. If we kill him today, it will indeed be the end of the Demon Sect!”

“This matter concerns the fate of the world; we are duty-bound to act!”

“Since everyone has the will, let’s join forces! Kill the Demon Lord, destroy the Demon Sect!”

“Kill the Demon Lord, destroy the Demon Sect!”

“…”

A chorus of voices rose as several figures leaped forward.

Another three or four Divine Source cultivators and dozens of Sky Profound Realm experts joined the battle.

They were all willing to work together with the mysterious black-robed figures to besiege Ling Xue and the Demon Sect.

Under the gaze of the crowd and amidst the shouts, Ling Xue stood still, his expression unchanged.

This was perfect!

All those who harbored murderous intent toward him and the Demon Sect had revealed themselves.

This way… he could take them all out at once!

Next, a cold killing intent flashed in Ling Xue’s blood-red eyes. The Qiankun Sword Art began circulating within him once again!

“Second move! Heaven’s Punishment!”
