I Truly Am The Villian Chapter 17 - 17 Heavenly Sword City

"Their identity is of no importance to ," Xu Zii shook his head and said, "I just look at the results."

Xu Zii admitted that he wasn't a bad person, but he certainly wasn't a good person either.

He didn't care about the views of the common folk or the feelings of others; everything he did was simply on a whim.

When in a good mood, he could rescue those he'd never t before; when in a bad mood, he could even slaughter an entire city with which he had no involvent.

Xu Zii had once heard a story.

An angel asked a demon, "Why, when I have only killed a single person, so many criticize .

Yet you rely saved one person, and there are many singing your praises."

The demon said, "Because you had previously saved many people, and now they can't stand the shock of you killing one.

As for , I was once a hands-drenched-in-blood broker; now that I suddenly saved one, naturally, they are happy to praise my change."

It was a story filled with irony.

If a good person wishes to beco a Buddha, they must endure countless trials and tribulations.

And a bad person? They simply lay down the butcher's knife and imdiately beco a Buddha.

...

The mont Shili Changkong appeared, Black Thirteen felt a strong sense of oppression.

"This is a master," he gripped his longsword at his waist with both hands, his spirits tense as he warily eyed the other.

"He's one of us, no need to be so tense," Xu Zii said to the others.

...

Afterward, everyone set out on horseback. Feng Buyu and others felt that Xu Zii was too mysterious, and they couldn't see through the events this ti.

And who was this man who suddenly appeared?

...

At noon, drifting clouds obscured half the blazing sun, slightly cooling the weather, and the group finally arrived at Heavenly Sword City.

This ancient city, nearly a thousand years old, sat like a colossal beast in its place.

From a distance, Heavenly Sword City resembled a sword piercing the sky, its edge naked and striking, awe-inspiring.

The brown city walls were several dozen ters tall; standing beneath them, one was t with an overwhelming presence, the silent walls as if narrating their past glory.

...

Though the True Martial Holy Sect was the overlord of the Extre West Region, it rarely managed these cities, acting more like a supervisor most of the ti.

Looking down from on high at all below.

In the Extre West Region, there were two particularly vast empires.

The Purple Sun Empire and the Green Wood Empire.

And this Heavenly Sword City was one of the cities under the managent of the Purple Sun Empire.

...

As the group entered the city, the streets paved with Qinggang Stone seed sowhat crowded.

Vendors on both sides hawked their wares energetically, with freshly stead buns still emitting steam and the fragrance of just fried Monster Beast at filling the entire street from the neighboring restaurants.

Others sold various Cultivation Techniques, weapons, and pills.

...

When Xu Zii had left this ti, he also brought along the two Dark Heaven Tiger cubs.

He and Lin Ruhu each held one, and touching the sleeping cub in his embrace, Xu Zii smiled and said, "Let's find an inn first!"

"Junior Brother Zimo, our True Martial Holy Sect has branch halls in every city; we can go straight to the branch hall," Feng Buyu spoke.

"This branch hall in Heavenly Sword City seems like a re formality," Xu Zii smiled and said, "Then let's head to the branch hall."

.........

As the group was about to set off, they suddenly heard a series of urgent horse neighs nearby.

Xu Zii looked up and saw a luxurious carriage hurtling from the city gate.

The second-order Monster Beast pulling the carriage, the Humr in the snow, seed out of control, charging forward like it had gone mad, even trampling several pedestrians to death along the way.

As the carriage was about to charge at Xu Zii and his companions, the coachman hurriedly shouted, "Get out of the way, quickly get out of the way!"

Feng Buyu's expression tightened at the side, and with "bang bang bang," three Vein Gates on his body opened all at once.

"Lun Quan, Xuan Gu, Zhao Yingfeng."

Feng Buyu stood at the front, his expression slightly tense, and his hands were enveloped in a yellow glow as he was the first to make a move.

"Vein Skills: Mixed Yuan Prajna Palm."

He eyed the crazed Humr in the snow charging towards them, took a slight half step back with his right foot, and violently grabbed the reins on either side of the horse.

His body shifted slightly, deflecting much of the force head-on, and then with a flick of his wrists, the horse twisted and sprinted to the right.

Due to inertia, the whole horse was flung to the ground.

The coachman on the carriage was thrown out as well, and the carriage behind him ca crashing down, shattering to pieces.

.........

"Miss, are you alright?" A troop of guards clad in black armor quickly rushed over.

The leader of the guards was an elder, dressed in a black robe that shrouded his entire figure within.

......

"Ouch, I'm going to die," a woman's voice shouted from within the wrecked carriage.

"Who was it that knocked down my Humr in the snow?" A woman crawled out from the carriage.

The woman, appearing to be only around seventeen or eighteen, with her hair in a ponytail and dressed in a white brocade and jade gown, looked extrely willful.

Feng Buyu impassively explained from the side, "It was your prized horse that got frightened and charged us first."

"I'll give you two options," the woman sized up Xu Zii and the others, her eyes lighting up when she saw the Dark Heaven Tiger in Xu Zii's arms, and said, "Either you compensate with that little tiger, or I'll have my n chop you up and feed you to the dogs."

"Quite the bold words," Feng Buyu scoffed coldly, "Heavenly Sword City has its own laws and regulations. Is the City Lord Mansion serving no purpose but to eat its own food, allowing you to kill at will?"

Xu Zii gave Feng Buyu a look, thinking that this guy must only know about cultivation and be completely oblivious to the dangers of the outside world.

If you are just an ordinary person and offend sobody, even if they can't kill you openly, what's to stop them from stealthily murdering you in the dead of night?

.........

"City Lord Mansion?" The woman let out a light laugh, "Do you know who I am?"

"You are people from the City Lord Mansion?" Feng Buyu glanced at the black-armored guards who had already surrounded them and finally realized the situation.

By now, the surrounding vendors and residents had hastily kept their distance, chattering among themselves.

"These people seem to be newcors, they don't look like they're from Heavenly Sword City."

"Their attire appears quite decent, but sadly they've offended the City Lord's daughter, everyone knows Zhong Ling'er is a notorious shrew."

.........

With her hands on her hips, the woman said with an air of arrogance, "Now that you know my background, you should understand what to do.

Hand over those two little tigers, and I might consider sparing your lives."
