Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!-Chapter 169: Too Late

Using the Crystal, the City Lord's wife personally created the Identification Badge for Xu Shan. The Badge held the false details that Xu Shan forced her to use.

With the Badge in hand, Xu Shan now had the means to enter restricted areas within the Teleportation Zones all throughout the Kingdom. In fact, he made his badge one of the highest tiers, so that he could pass through many unnecessary troubles along the way.

The Woman thought about trying something to make trouble for Xu Shan. However, she dropped the idea and didn't mess with the badge, at least not to the extent that he could notice.

The only thing she did was to leave a small thread in his badge which she could later use to locate him. Even with the knowledge, it was impossible to locate that tracing thread in the badge.

"I did as you asked. You can leave now," she told Xu Shan.

"We're only halfway done. Aren't you going to escort me?" Xu Shan asked, playing with the badge in his hand.

He didn't want to go through more unnecessary battles. What could be better than to have the City Lord's wife escort him.

The woman glared at Xu Shan but didn't say anything. In her mind, she was cursing him.

'You want me to escort you? I will. But let's see how far you can run! With that badge, I'll be able to locate you! Just wait!' 𝐛𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝗼𝐫𝗴

The woman clenched her fist as she left the room. However, as soon as she stepped out, she was taken aback by a shattering noise.

She turned around, only to find the pieces of the Royal Crystal flying in every direction. Xu Shan destroyed the only link of the Royal Capital with this city.

After destroying the giant crystal, Xu Shan picked up a small piece and kept that in his storage like a memento.

He also left the hall, and walked next to the City Lord's wife.

Along the way, many people saw the woman escorting a masked man. They were taken aback, but the women gave some excuses.

Xu Shan stepped out of the Palace, and walked calmly, as if he was not in any hurry. There were many guards around him, yet he was completely safe.

The Woman entered the Carriage outside the palace and told the driver to take them to the Portal Zone.

At the same time, a maid entered the central hall. A loud scream filled the hallway. The maid fell on the ground, stunned at the sight inside.

She hastily alerted all the Guards that she could find, realizing that their mistress was in danger!

Slowly, all the guards came to know what happened. The dead bodies of the Servants and the Guards were also discovered along the way.

It didn't take them long to realize that the masked man wasn't a friend of the City Lord's wife. Instead, she was taken hostage!

The City Guards climbed on the horses and rushed in the direction where the carriage went. They had a feeling that they knew where the killer was trying to go!

****

The City Lord's Mansion was a powerful authority in the city. No one stopped the carriage after seeing the symbol. If anything, everyone moved out of their way to clear the path.

The carriage raced through the streets, without slowing down.

In a short time, the carriage finally reached the Portal Zone, which was the most secure zone in the entire city.

The Carriage stopped. From this point on, the carriage wasn't allowed to go forward.

The Woman stepped out of the carriage. The Guards lowered their vigilance after seeing that it was the City Lord's wife.

They cleared the path for her, with only fifty meters of distance between the woman and the Portal

Xu Shan also stepped out, standing right beside the woman. The Guards were initially surprised, curious as to who that guy was.

Usually, no person was allowed to enter the Portal Zone if they hid their face.

"He is someone from the Royal Capital. He will be leaving today, so I came to escort our guest myself," the woman said. However, her words didn't match her expressions. Unfortunately, she couldn't be too clear about the reality.

The guards nodded in understanding. If the guy was an important aid to the queen, then he definitely deserved the City Lord accompanying him.

They respectfully greeted Xu Shan, who walked towards the center of the Portal with the Woman.

He handed over the City Lord's token to the woman, letting her activate the portal which was sealed previously.

The woman clenched her teeth, but did as she was told, even if that meant helping the killer of her husband.

She used the City Lord's token and her authority to once again unseal the portal. A Spatial Portal opened before the two of them, big enough for three or four people to enter simultaneously.

"That's like a good girl," Xu Shan whispered in the woman's ears. However, he didn't enter the portal which was only a few steps away from him.

"Stop! Don't let him enter!"

Multiple City Guards arrived on the horses, with urgency written on their faces.

Xu Shan smirked behind his mask. "Too late."

He grabbed the woman by her throat, before he stepped behind, entering the portal, disappearing inside.

The woman was taken aback as she was also dragged inside the spatial portal. She didn't expect Xu Shan to drag her with him as well. She had a really bad feeling about this.

The guards rushed behind them to the portal, entering at the same time. Unfortunately, while inside the Spatial Portal, Xu Shan pulled out his dagger.

Right as he was on the verge of leaving the portal, he sliced the space around him, damaging this particular spatial portal.

The spatial portal exploded in itself. Xu Shan flew out of the portal. However, since he was already about to exit, he only fell out of the portal near his destination.

On the other hand, the guards were dispersed in random locations along the way, some even dying in the process.

Only the City Lord's wife fell out with Xu Shan, falling merely meters away from him.
