I was reborn as the villain

Sure enough, not long after walking, Chen Zhimo saw the sky covered with gray clouds. To be more precise, they were poisonous clouds formed by poisonous miasma. Countless poisonous threads extended from underneath these clouds.

"Heavenly Poison?"

Chen Zhimo said to himself.

The sun was shining brightly before, but when we got here the light became dim. When we walked a little further inside, we couldn't tell what time it was.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the surroundings became increasingly darker, and Xi Yixuan had no choice but to use her light treasure to illuminate the way ahead.

The light seemed to be absorbed by this poisonous land, and could only illuminate a very small circle around it. There were also rustling sounds coming from all around, as if there were many hidden dangers.

Xi Yixuan led the way in front, with disciples from the sect on both sides sprinkling some kind of powder on the ground.

"Master, what are they doing?" He asked whenever he didn't understand something and asked a lot of questions along the way.

Chen Zhimo also answered every question, "This is a powder to drive away evil spirits and avoid beasts. It can drive away unknown creatures hiding in the dark to avoid being attacked by them."

"Oh, the enemy is in the light and we are in the dark, so it is better to be careful." Xiangzhi nodded and said to himself.

Xi Yixuan turned around and said, "Everyone, be careful. We are going deep into the hinterland ahead."

Everyone nodded, and everyone had a nervous expression on their face. It seemed that this evil and poisonous field was indeed extremely dangerous.

Chen Zhimo quickened his pace, came to Xi Yixuan's side, and asked in a low voice: "Sister Xuan'er, although it has been a stressful journey, I haven't seen anything dangerous. Do you have to be so cautious?"

Xi Yixuan said solemnly: "Brother Mo, you don't know that the various sects have lost a lot of people. It's always better to be careful."

Chen Zhimo nodded in agreement, but still asked in confusion: "Since this place is full of dangers, why set up base in the hinterland?"

Xi Yixuan sighed and said, "The appearance of the evil treasure has attracted the attention of various forces. Dozens of sects have already gone deep into the hinterland to prepare. If we don't take the risk and go deep, we will probably fall behind."

"So many sects are coming?"

"That's not all. There are hundreds of sects out there that are coveting this opportunity, and they all want to take advantage of this chaos to fish in troubled waters and gain some benefits."

"No wonder it felt so chaotic on the outskirts." Chen Zhimo had witnessed those chaotic scenes when he first arrived at the outskirts, but it turned out that he had only seen a small scene.

Chen Zhimo turned his head and looked at Xiangzhi who was a little nervous and pulling at his clothes. He didn't know whether it was right or wrong to bring this child here.

Seeing Chen Zhimo looking at him, Xiang Zhi straightened himself and said, "Master, I'm not afraid, you don't have to worry about me."

Chen Zhimo rubbed his head and said, "You are a little kid but very smart. Be careful."

"Yeah!" Xiangzhi nodded obediently.

Xi Yixuan also looked at Xiangzhi. Although she didn't have time to learn about Xiangzhi's background, she liked this little boy very much.

"We know each other, right? Here are some magic weapons for protection. Keep them with you. There may be a big chaos later, and your master will not be able to take care of you. You have to protect yourself."

Xiangzhi happily took the magic weapon and thanked Xi Yixuan, "Thank you, sister. Oh, no, I shouldn't call you sister. Are you my future master's wife? How about I call you master's wife?"

As soon as the words came out, Xi Yixuan's face turned red, and Chen Zhimo also felt a little embarrassed. Why did this child suddenly say such vicious words?

Chen Zhimo pulled Xiangzhi over and hit him hard on the head, "What are you yelling for, you little brat? This is my senior sister."

Xiangzhi rubbed his head aggrievedly. He could clearly see that the master liked this fairy. The look in his eyes was the same as the way his father looked at his mother. Besides, it would be great if the master could marry this fairy, wouldn't it?

Xiangzhi saw that his master was unhappy, and quickly changed his words: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't call you that. You are my master's senior sister, so I should call you senior uncle, right?"

Seeing Xiangzhi's innocent look, Xi Yixuan smiled and said, "You haven't entered the mountain gate yet, so you don't have to call me that. Just call me Aunt Xuan."

Xi Yixuan originally wanted Xiangzhi to call her Sister Xuan'er, but when she thought about the generation gap between herself and Chen Zhimo, she felt a little unhappy, so she came up with this title.

"Aunt Xuan? You are so young, it's better to call you sister, is it okay to call you aunt..." After saying this, Xiangzhi glanced at Chen Zhimo, then changed the subject and said, "Just call me Aunt Xuan, Aunt Xuan is good."

"You are such a funny kid," Xi Yixuan said with a smile.

The three of them talked and laughed, forgetting the depressing environment along the way. After walking for a long time, the sky became brighter. It seemed that they had passed the darkest part of the journey.

There are some animal carts and horses ahead, and many disciples from Yinhe Kongyun Mountain are here to support them.

"Senior Sister Xi! Brother Chen!"

Yu Jingzhou was there to support them, and when he saw Xi Yixuan and Chen Zhimo, he started calling out. According to the order of initiation, he should have called Chen Zhimo "Junior Brother Chen", but he knew that Chen Zhimo was very powerful and had saved him before, so he always called Chen Zhimo "Big Brother Chen".

"Senior Brother Yu, you are here too," Chen Zhimo responded.

"Just call me Jingzhou," Yu Jingzhou said politely.

After the two exchanged greetings, everyone mounted their horses and continued on their journey. Xi Yixuan took Xiangzhi and some female disciples and sat on the animal cart.

The group walked for a long time, and vaguely, Chen Zhimo seemed to see some mottled woods.

"How big is this evil and poisonous field?" Chen Zhimo sighed. They had been walking for a long time, and their pace was not slow. Now they were riding bicycles or taking cars, but they had not yet reached the camp.

"The Poison Plain was not originally vast, but the advent of the evil treasure caused the terrain to change, and the Poison Plain also expanded."

"How long until we arrive?"

Although it was getting brighter here, the sense of crisis became even stronger, and Chen Zhimo had a bad feeling.

"Just go through the woods in front and climb over a hill and you'll get there. Be careful here, as poisonous beasts often appear in this place," Xi Yixuan reminded.

In fact, without Xi Yixuan's reminder, Chen Zhimo had already felt the hostility coming from the woods ahead. It seemed that there were quite a few poisonous beasts among them.

Everyone dismounted from their horses or vehicles. It was no longer safe to ride horses or vehicles on this stretch of road.

"Brother Mo, I'll lead the way and you'll cover the rear," Xi Yixuan said.

Chen Zhimo nodded in agreement. After all, Xi Yixuan knew more about the evil and vicious poison area, so it would be best for her to take the lead.

The group soon went deep into the woods. The surrounding woods also mutated in the mutated environment of the poisonous lawn. They were no longer what they used to be. Every tree became bizarre, without lush green leaves, leaving only crooked gray-black branches, like twisted monsters with bared fangs and claws.
