The Reincarnated Villain Makes The Heroines Tearfully Beg for Forgiveness-Chapter 331: It’s a Headache for Everyone:

“Brother Mu, you have sharp eyes. Yes, I am Xiao Yan, the prince of the Immortal Empire,” Xiao Yan said with a smile and a nod. He didn’t mind that Mu Tao hadn’t recognized him at first;he was used to such situations from the past.

Mu Tao stared at Xiao Yan suspiciously, then shifted his gaze to Lin Yan and asked, “Lin Yan, why did you bring someone from the Immortal Empire here?”

Lin Yan, who had just parted ways with Mu Lingsha, glanced at Xiao Yan and sighed. “He insisted on tagging along and even promised to help me capture his aunt.”

Hearing this, Mu Tao took a deep breath.

Xiao Yan’s aunt, Xiao Mei, was a significant figure in the Immortal Empire. Even Mu Tao, despite his status within the Ye Clan, was far below Xiao Mei’s standing in the Immortal Empire.

Now, with Xiao Yan, the prince, involved, things were getting interesting. If push came to shove, he was even willing to betray his aunt. However, numerous rumors crossed Mu Tao’s mind. It was well-known that the internal power struggles within the Immortal Empire were far more ruthless than those of the Night Clan. While the Night Clan’s disputes often revolved around inheritance, with many not even caring about it, the Immortal Empire was a different story.

In the Immortal Empire, only one emperor could rule, and every royal family member coveted the throne. This led to fierce rivalries among princes and princesses despite their shared bloodline.

“It is said that Xiao Mei is the leading candidate for the throne among the eighteen contenders, and now Xiao Yan has also become a prominent figure in the empire. His willingness to aid Lin Yan against Xiao Mei likely has something to do with the throne.” Mu Tao thought to himself.

His demeanor grew more composed as he looked at Xiao Yan.

While Xiao Yan’s betrayal of his aunt seemed shocking, it was beneficial for Mu Tao, who was a core disciple of the Night Clan. Naturally, he saw no need to intervene and might even assist if it served his interests.

“Since you trust him, I won’t say more. Lin Yan, my sister has already told me about your plan. Frankly, targeting Su Qingyi is incredibly challenging.” Mu Tao stated calmly.

Lin Yan and Mu Aisha had originally devised a plan to deal with Su Qingyi, but Mu Lingsha had brought Mu Tao into the fold. Unlike Lin Yan and Mu Lingsha, Mu Tao had a deeper understanding of Su Qingyi.

“Lin Yan,” Mu Tao began with a serious expression, “as the eldest lady of the Changsheng Family, Su Qingyi is not only powerful but also extremely clever. Outsmarting her is no simple task. If you have a real plan to capture Su Qingyi, I am willing to help.”

Mu Tao’s involvement stemmed from his own agenda. The Night Clan, Changsheng Family, and Immortal Empire were all in fierce competition. If Lin Yan could truly capture Su Qingyi, it would be advantageous for Mu Tao. Moreover, Mu Tao had noticed something different in Mu Lingsha, leading him to suspect that Su Qingyi might suffer from a unique condition, just like Mu Lingsha.

If it weren’t for this suspicion, Mu Tao wouldn’t have agreed to help Lin Yan and Mu Lingsha, despite Mu Lingsha being his sister. After all, Su Qingyi’s reputation and power made her nearly impossible to outmaneuver.

“Of course, we have a plan,” Lin Yan said confidently, facing Mu Tao’s skepticism. “I can lure Su Qingyi out alone. Once she’s isolated, we’ll trap her, and together, we can capture her.”

In truth, it was Mu Lingsha who had revealed the method to lure Su Qingyi. However, Lin Yan chose not to share these details with Mu Tao just yet.

Seeing Lin Yan’s confidence, Mu Tao understood.

“So, Su Qingyi does have the same condition as my sister. This makes it possible to drag her into a trap,” Mu Tao thought with a smirk.

Mu Lingsha’s condition had minimal impact on the Night Clan because she hadn’t inherited their ancestral power. She was highly respected but held little true power. Su Qingyi, however, was different. As the eldest lady of the Immortal World, she wielded immense influence. The Changsheng Family had placed her in command of countless Divine Level experts on the plane battlefield.

With Lin Yan’s guarantee, they all began strategizing. Capturing Su Qingyi required careful planning, especially in choosing the ambush site. A hasty move could result in disaster if the Changsheng Family retaliated before they succeeded.

Fortunately, Mu Tao excelled in such matters. He had extensive experience on the plane battlefield and was more familiar with its terrain than Lin Yan.

“We should ambush Su Qingyi here,” Mu Tao said, pointing to a map and marking a location. “Even if a battle erupts in this windy valley, no one outside will notice.”

The valley was narrow, with strong winds that concealed any conflict. These winds were the manifestation of various laws, making it the perfect cover.

“Good. We’ll carry out the ambush in the Windy Valley in three days,” Lin Yan agreed. He had calculated that only ten days remained before the plane battlefield would close. If they failed, there would still be time to recover.

“Three days it is. I’ll handle the preparations,” Mu Tao said, nodding. Just as Xiao Yan was about to speak, a surge of powerful energy erupted in the distance.

“What’s happening?” Lin Yan and the others tensed.

Mu Tao’s small group of Night Clan cultivators braced themselves, wary of an attack. But the source of the disturbance was far away, not an immediate threat.

“Let’s go see.” Mu Tao ordered, leading the way. Lin Yan kept his distance from the Night Clan group, following behind cautiously.

As they approached the source of the commotion, Lin Yan and Xiao Yan saw thousands of cultivators engaged in battle. Su Qingyi led the Changsheng Family with precision, while the Immortal Empire’s forces, lacking Xiao Mei’s leadership, were struggling.

“Qingyi’s fighting Mei’er… who’s willing to help me here?” Lin Yan muttered, frustrated.

Behind him, Xiao Yan clenched his fists but restrained himself from intervening.
