I was reborn as the villain

"Brother Li, apart from the Muyin Sect, you haven't made enemies with other sects, right?" Chen Zhimo asked carefully. Seeing Li Minghao's eyes turn cold, he immediately smiled and said, "I'm just asking, so that I won't be ignorant of prevention when I encounter it in the future."

Li Minghao took a sip of wine and said, "Don't you see that the area around our base is very empty? Anyone who dares to get within three miles of our base will be killed. As for which sects' disciples were killed, I don't remember."

Chen Zhimo smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that they have killed many chickens to scare the monkeys."

No wonder there was no sense of other sects’ headquarters around the Yinhe Kongyun Mountain headquarters. It turned out that they were all expelled by Li Minghao.

Chen Zhimo was a little worried. Would Li Minghao's actions make Yinhe Kongyun Mountain a target of public criticism? If those feuding sects united and took advantage of the chaos to attack Yinhe Kongyun Mountain, they would be in a passive position.

As if he saw Chen Zhimo's worry, Li Minghao said indifferently: "They are just some small sects, it doesn't matter. People from other big sects came earlier than me and have already occupied more advantageous places."

After hearing what Li Minghao said, Chen Zhimo felt relieved. After all, Yinhe Kongyun Mountain was a large sect. Even if it offended some small sects, he believed that they would not dare to cause trouble.

In the past, Yinhe Kongyun Mountain was considered the sect that least liked to cause trouble and show off its power among the ten major sects. This time, Li Minghao might have to rewrite the style of Yinhe Kongyun Mountain in the eyes of other sects.

"Brother Li, what is the current situation of the evil and poisonous field?" Chen Zhimo asked the question that concerned him most. Xi Yixuan had not mentioned this before as they had been on the road.

When Xi Yixuan heard Chen Zhimo's question, she also knew that Li Minghao didn't like to waste time on these trivial matters, so she took over the conversation and responded: "Let me tell you about the current situation."

As he spoke, Xi Yixuan took out a map, which was the latest map of the evil and poisonous plain.

Xi Yixuan circled the center with her hand and said, "This is the place where the strange treasure was discovered. A domain field has been generated at this moment, and the energy in it is extremely unstable."

Then Xi Yixuan pointed outside the area and said, "This is the center of the Haunted Poison Field. There are dozens of sects stationed around it."

"We are here, over there is Tianyun Creek, over there is Xueyin Palace, and behind Xueyin Palace is Mingqing Sect..."

Xi Yixuan explained the location of each sect to Chen Zhimo. When he mentioned Xueyin Palace and Mingqing Sect, the face of his acquaintance, who was originally indifferent, showed hatred.

After Chen Zhimo calmed his friend with his eyes, he continued, "There's no need to introduce the outer sects, let's talk about our future plans."

There is only one rare treasure, and if so many sects really fight over it, it will probably be another disaster.

Xi Yixuan continued, "The ten major sects have reached a consensus and announced that no one is allowed to approach the domain field before the strange treasure is born. Violators will be killed without mercy. After the strange treasure is born, everyone will use their own methods. This treasure is special. Whoever can gain the recognition of this treasure can take the treasure away."

Chen Zhimo nodded. This arrangement was good. Having the top ten sects to intimidate other sects could also prevent people from stirring up trouble or interfering. The winners could be determined in this relatively fair way, and a melee could be avoided.

Of course, this is only a relative fairness. After all, the rare treasures of heaven and earth belong to those who are capable. To put it bluntly, whoever grabs it first gets it. However, the strong intervention of the ten major sects forced all the sects to compete for the rare treasures according to the rules they set. But who will the rare treasures choose? Of course, they will choose the strong or the extremely talented. The ten major sects have an advantage in this regard. In terms of people with excellent roots and outstanding talents, they must have the most among the ten major sects.

"What if no one recognizes the rare treasure?"

"This..." Xi Yixuan didn't know how the sect's higher-ups would think about this issue.

Li Minghao interrupted and said, "That's easy. Just let the powerful people in the sect take action. Whoever is stronger will win. If you don't accept it, just fight. There's no need for so much nonsense."

Chen Zhimo was speechless. This Li Minghao really demonstrated the principle that the strong are respected to the fullest. However, in this world, if whoever has the stronger fist has the final say, wouldn't it lead to more bullying of the weak?

The reality is so cruel. Either you are bullied by others, or you work hard to make yourself stronger. But sometimes becoming stronger is not as simple as it sounds, but involves many aspects, such as cultivation resources, opportunities, talents, sects, etc.

"Okay, we've almost finished the wine. Don't drink too much and make mistakes. This rare treasure may fly out of the air at any time." Xi Yixuan said as he put away the remaining wine.

Li Minghao was naturally not enjoying himself, but since Xi Yixuan said so, he didn't want to drink any more. Instead, he stretched and left the tent on his own.

Chen Zhimo also walked out of the big tent and cast his eyes towards the domain field not far away, muttering: "Looking at this situation, the strange treasure will be born soon."

Xi Yixuan nodded: "Master and uncle have calculated that within three days, the rare treasure will be born. Brother Mo, you must be careful when the time comes."

Chen Zhimo smiled and said, "Don't worry, aren't you aware of my methods? But you have to be more careful too."

Xi Yixuan said confidently: "I am no longer the same person I was before, so don't underestimate me."

Chen Zhimo chuckled, "Yes, yes, sister Xuan'er has really impressed me this time. In just one month, not only has her cultivation improved, but she has also cultivated her Soul Separation and Fire Capturing and Flame Release Techniques better than me."

Xi Yixuan smiled proudly, "I can't fall too far behind you. I am your senior sister."

Xi Yixuan is naturally gifted and has a neutral physique, so she can achieve twice the result with half the effort in practicing any technique. Plus, she is a genius in alchemy, and her own soul power is superior to that of ordinary cultivators. With the help of the Soul Gathering Robe, it is naturally easier for her to practice the split soul and true body. As for the Art of Capturing Fire and Release Flame, Xi Yixuan used the Fire Tempering Body Method to improve her own physique, so it is natural that she can also master Capturing Fire and Release Flame. It is normal that she has surpassed Chen Zhimo in these two techniques.

"How is your practice of the Yamo Sword Collection going?"

"I have made some progress, but unfortunately the situation here is urgent, so my master ordered me to come out of retreat and help Brother Li. Otherwise, I will have to practice until I have made great progress before I can come out of retreat."

"Haste makes waste. Don't be too impatient. Going out to gain experience is no worse than practicing in seclusion."

"Brother Mo is right."

Xi Yixuan also felt the growth she gained from these days of experience, which indeed helped her improve faster, especially the practical experience, which was a more valuable combat asset.

"Okay, let's just wait. This peaceful day won't last two days. A storm is about to come!" Chen Zhimo sighed, knowing that there might be a tough battle to fight next.
