I Truly Am The Villian Chapter 1692: 1691: Facing One's True Heart, Heart-devouring

Chapter 1692: Chapter 1691: Facing One’s True Heart, Heart-devouring Beast

Xu Zii looked around.

Among this group, many were talented disciples from the five great forces.

The number of people who passed was still relatively high.

Among fifty people, more than twenty also passed.

Soon after, the third group quickly entered as well.

“Let’s go see this so-called Gallheart Bridge,” Xu Zii said.

Monk Zizai nodded.

A group of twenty people, after leaving the Sermon Hall, started walking outside.

Outside the hall, a palace could faintly be seen in the distance.

In front of the palace, there was a very old suspension bridge.

This Human Saint Palace seed not particularly large from the outside.

But once everyone entered, they found the space inside was folded.

The sa space could expand up to ten tis.

It was invisible from the outside unless you were inside the space.

Standing in front of the suspension bridge, looking down.

The depth was unfathomable, like an abyss.

Occasionally, a black tide surged.

It seed ready to devour anyone trying to cross the bridge.

“Does anyone know what’s down there?” Liu Xuer from Jade Maiden Palace asked first.

“It’s everyone’s first ti in the Human Saint Palace, who could know,” Zhang ng laughed.

“There’s a stone tablet here,” soone suddenly shouted.

Next to the bridge, a stone tablet had toppled over, lying flat on the ground.

Everyone quickly gathered around.

“Let’s see what it says?”

Soone read aloud: “Gallheart Bridge, the gentleman is open-minded, the petty person worries all the ti.

Clear understanding of oneself allows passage over this bridge.

Below the bridge lies the Heart-devouring Beast, but all who use this bridge beco Heart-peeled Corpses.

Enter with caution.”

“Even the Human Saint specifically warned to enter with caution,” soone took a deep breath.

In surprise: “Unlike the first round, this round looks like it will claim lives.”

If you couldn’t pass the first round, at most you’d be eliminated, with no major loss.

But in the second round, if you fall off Gallheart Bridge, certain death awaits.

Everyone fell silent.

“Those who clear understanding of oneself can cross the bridge.

Let try,” soone said.

It was Zhuo Ding from the Heart Sword Sect.

Also one of the talented disciples.

Soone remarked: “The Heart Sword Sect cultivates the heart.

The stronger the heart, the stronger the power.

This round the Heart Sword Sect has an advantage.”

No one acted recklessly; instead, they watched Zhuo Ding intently.

As he stepped onto Gallheart Bridge, his body clearly paused for a mont before slowly moving forward.

“Look at his eyes, they’re not focused,” soone reminded.

“He must be trapped in an illusion.”

Zhuo Ding walked about ten ters, his face growing more and more distressed, eventually contorting.

Finally, he burst out laughing.

With disheveled hair, he seed sowhat mad.

“Junior Sister Yun, listen to , Senior Brother only wants to be stronger.

Betraying you wasn’t my intention.

Ah, ah, ah…”

Accompanying Zhuo Ding’s shout, he hysterically jumped off Gallheart Bridge.

A shadow streaked by at incredible speed, swallowing him whole.

It vanished instantly.

This shadow was perhaps the Heart-devouring Beast, hiding in the dark, specifically to devour those who fall.

Seeing this scene.

Everyone hesitated.

Having trained to this level, who dared claim they never did anything bad, never killed an innocent?

“This round is just too hard,” soone complained.

“Actually, it’s not that hard, it just depends on how you face your own heart,” Monk Zizai said.

“I, a humble monk, will give it a try.

If you’re unwilling to step forward, you should retreat swiftly.”

“I’ll give it a try too,” Xu Zii replied.

He had the map of the Human Saint Palace and already knew about these places.

Thus understanding, Gallheart Bridge was indeed not difficult.

Among the dozen or so people, only a few chose to leave, while the rest opted to cross Gallheart Bridge together.

……

Xu Zii walked at the front.

He was the most at ease.

Upon setting foot on Gallheart Bridge, a surge of Haoran Righteousness greeted him.

Imdiately, Xu Zii’s consciousness fell into a state of chaos.

From the outside, it would appear as if he was walking forward unconsciously.

In the chaos, those whom Xu Zii had killed revived one by one.

As if seeking their lives back.

He had fought people, the aftermath claiming nurous innocent lives.

These innocent ones began to question him.

He had also once wiped out an entire force for a disciple or elder.

The resurrected innocent disciples of the force also questioned him.

In short, everything he had experienced in his life passed before his eyes like a movie.

And everyone he had killed or killed by mistake approached him.

So spoke of benevolence and righteousness,

Others cried with grievances,

So appeared hideously terrifying.

Suddenly, countless voices exploded in his mind, causing his ears to buzz.

“Get lost,” Xu Zii commanded softly.

“What’s the point of questioning the dead about their deaths?

I am no judge, nor do I preside over good and evil.

I, Xu Zii, live by my own deeds, why explain to others?”

“Do I need to make a trip to the Netherworld to obliterate your Yin Souls as well?”

He snorted coldly.

Intending to disperse all the wandering souls.

“Executioner, give back my life,” yet the wandering souls showed no fear, but pounced at Xu Zii nacingly.

Xu Zii neither dodged nor evaded.

Allowing the wandering souls to attack him, they could not hurt him in the least.

This was because everything before him was an illusion.

Or rather, a higher-level, stronger illusion.

Directly targeting your heart.

Even a hint of inability to withstand it would lead to being completely subrged.

So believed that the Human Saint set up Gallheart Bridge to amplify one’s dark side and many unpleasant mories.

But they were wrong.

Everyone has a dark side; the Human Saint himself is no exception.

No such thing as a perfect saint in this world.

The existence of Gallheart Bridge is just for facing one’s own heart.

When you can face everything fearlessly and openly, Gallheart Bridge poses no difficulty.

This was the state Xu Zii found himself in.

As countless wronged souls demanded their lives back, he offered no resistance.

The errant souls passed through him as if he were transparent.

From outside, Xu Zii’s figure had reached the other end of the bridge.

At this mont, Gallheart Bridge began to sway.

Black fog roared under the bridge.

Suddenly, a Heart-devouring Beast lunged at Xu Zii.

With a “boom.”

Xu Zii’s tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, punching the Heart-devouring Beast into pieces.

His eyes were completely clear.

Almost reaching the bridgehead, the Heart-devouring Beasts grew anxious.

Xu Zii turned back to see only five remained among the ten or so people.

All others were devoured by the Heart-devouring Beasts.

“It seems the hardest thing for people to face is still their own hearts,” Xu Zii lanted.

“Human, stay,” a hoarse voice erged from the Heart-devouring Beasts.

Countless Heart-devouring Beasts were on the move.

“You’re defying the commands of the Human Saint,” Xu Zii said calmly.

“Those who haven’t fallen below the bridge should not be touched, correct?”
