I Truly Am The Villian-Chapter 1171 - 1170: Before the Sealing of Cangwu, The Crimson Blade Bull Demon Awakens

Chapter 1171 -1170: Before the Sealing of Cangwu, The Crimson Blade Bull Demon Awakens

“Three months ago, there was an unusual movement in the Cangwu Abyss. I came here to investigate,” the blood-colored figure slowly explained.

“I didn’t expect the Evil Thought Mountain Ghost to break the seal, set up a trap in advance, and trap me within it.

I was careless, and now, this is what’s become of me.”

The blood-colored figure was filled with remorse. Xu Zimei broke the iron chains apart, and the blood-colored figure weakly fell to a seated position on the ground.

“Why did he impersonate you?” Xu Zimei asked.

“Because by doing so, he could deceive the Nine Ghost Academy and hide his true intentions,” the blood-colored figure said with a bitter smile.

“Otherwise, if the Nine Ghost Academy found out he had broken the seal, they would surely dispatch powerful forces to capture him.”

“Then why didn’t he kill you?” Xie Changliu asked in confusion.

“My Longevity Lamp is in the Nine Ghost Academy. If I die, the lamp extinguishes, which would expose him directly,” the blood-colored figure said while wiping the blood off his face.

He revealed his true appearance, which was identical to the elder from the Heavenly Saint Academy seen earlier.

“I am Jiang Mozi. Thank you for saving my life.”

The elder stood up, bowed deeply to Xu Zimei, and said, “Now that Mountain Ghost controls the entire Heavenly Saint Academy, I must immediately inform the Nine Ghost Academy.

Changliu, I hope the two of you can help.”

Xie Changliu remained silent, his gaze fixed on the abyss above.

The path they had arrived from was already sealed off.

“That Mountain Ghost dragged us into this place, evidently never intending to let us leave.” He spoke calmly.

As if anticipating something ominous, they saw the Cangwu Abyss start to tremble violently at that moment.

Evil Qi surged, black fog enveloped the air.

It was as if something had been activated; gears were slowly turning, and the entire Cangwu Abyss began to rotate.

Suddenly, the heavens shook and the earth quaked, darkness descended, and all things seemed to sink into oblivion.

“This is terrible—it’s the sealing formation of the Cangwu Abyss starting to activate,” Jiang Mozi said, his expression dire.

“It’s the same formation we used to seal the Evil Thought Mountain Ghost back then, and now it’s trying to seal us.

We must leave now or we’ll lose our chance.”

“I fear there’s no time,” Xu Zimei shook his head and said.

The formation was activating at a blistering speed, enveloping the entirety of the Cangwu Abyss in mere moments.

High in the sky, a diagram imprinted with myriad celestial stars emerged.

The diagram radiated an astonishing light that covered the exit of the abyss.

“Let me try,” Xie Changliu said.

He stepped into the air and charged upward from the valley.

The longsword in his hand erupted with luminous sword energy.

“Sword Extends A Thousand Miles!” With a loud shout, a thousand miles of sword intent converged, entirely merging into his longsword.

The longsword swung upward, and with a “boom,” exploded, dispersing waves outward overhead.

However, the diagram remained completely unmoved, entirely unaffected.

“This formation is not simple. Even if a Great Saint were to come, they wouldn’t be able to break it,” Jiang Mozi lamented.

“Back then, Lord Kui gathered the power of eight other Mountain Ghosts and utilized the core strength of nine Great Saints from the Nine Ghost Academy.

Only then was the Evil Thought Mountain Ghost sealed.

If we wish to leave, I fear we have no chance.”

“How did the Evil Thought Mountain Ghost manage to break the formation?” Xu Zimei asked.

“Could it have reached the stage of Taoist Fruit?”

“Impossible. A Taoist Fruit powerhouse is something I’ve never encountered in my life,” Jiang Mozi directly denied.

“If it had reached Taoist Fruit, it would have destroyed the Nine Ghost Academy by now.

Why go through the trouble of transforming into my appearance and hiding in the Heavenly Saint Academy? It’s merely because it fears the Nine Ghost Academy’s strength and cannot compete with it.”

Listening to Jiang Mozi’s reasoning, Xu Zimei also found it sound.

He looked upward; Xie Changliu was still continuously attacking the diagram.

Unfortunately, even as he exhausted various techniques, it was all to no avail.

The formidable power of the diagram was far beyond what the few of them could forcibly overcome.

Moreover, within the abyss above, an increasingly dense energy was gathering.

Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth—the Power of the Five Elements illuminated five directions.

The forces poured incessantly into the diagram.

“There must be another way. Let’s try to find it,” Xu Zimei said.

“For now, that’s all we can do,” Jiang Mozi said with a sigh.

Clearly, he held little hope.

In his current state, he was nothing more than a broken man.

This Cangwu Abyss was fraught with danger; even an ordinary demonic vine could easily end his life within.

Xu Zimei took a look around. The valley had been split in two by his earlier strike.

He found a relatively flat spot and sat cross-legged.

Now that he had obtained the Jiuyou Divine Grass, it was time to revive the consciousness of the Crimson Blade Bull Demon.

After that, he could consider the next steps.

When his Divine Soul entered the True Fate World, the Dragon Maiden was still forging weapons.

Tyrant Shadow and the Xuan Yuan Sword had already fused halfway.

The power emanating from them was awe-inspiring.

The energy of the blade and sword, which had initially clashed, now seemed almost complementary.

Wind and thunder stirred, water and fire blended.

This Dragon Maiden indeed kept her promise—it was clear she was serious about forging.

“Master,” Bai Meng and the others, who had been guarding the area, greeted Xu Zimei as soon as he arrived.

“I’ve found the Jiuyou Divine Grass. Let’s heal Old Bull first,” Xu Zimei nodded and said.

The Seven-faced Demon General nodded slightly.

He took the Jiuyou Divine Grass, which appeared to want to flee, but with a turn of his Demonic Lotus in his right hand, the Jiuyou Divine Grass was firmly suppressed.

The group approached the Crimson Blade Bull Demon.

No longer tortured by fiery whips, its resilient body had almost fully healed itself.

On top of its head, two newly-grown horns had emerged.

To awaken its soul, the Jiuyou Divine Grass alone would not suffice; additional materials were needed.

Luckily, the Seven-faced Demon General had all of them.

“Demon Emperor Flower, Purple Gourd Vine, Balin Demon Needle Fruit, Heavenly Jasper Leaf, Jiuyou Divine Grass…”

A series of Mysterious Medicines was thrown into the mix.

Fire erupted from the Seven-faced Demon General’s hand, enveloping all the ingredients.

Clearly, he was forging something.

The raging flames made it impossible to see what was occurring within.

After a while, he delicately plucked a petal from the Demonic Lotus and tossed it into the fire.

In an instant, the flames surged violently, their form constantly shifting.

Sometimes resembling a stag, other times like an ancient beast, flying and sprinting.

This continued for three minutes before the fire gradually subsided.

Suspended in mid-air was a viscous, transparent liquid substance.

“This is the Heavenly Demon’s Tears; they have incredible restorative properties for the soul,” the Seven-faced Demon General said with a smile.

The Crimson Blade Bull Demon lay on the stone tablet as the Seven-faced Demon General guided the liquid, trickling it slowly into its mouth.

In that instant, an overwhelming surge of Demonic Qi erupted from the Crimson Blade Bull Demon’s body.

The intensity of the qi carried a dense aura of beastly dominance.

It felt as if a primordial Bull Demon had been reawakened.

Within the Demonic Qi, faint and resonant “mooing” sounds echoed.

The Crimson Blade Bull Demon’s body was marked with magma-like cracks that glowed brightly.

On its surface, flames ignited and burned.

From its two horns, a powerful force surged forth, lifting its massive frame into the air.
