I was reborn as the villain

"Hurry up and give this beggar something to send him away." Liu Jin shouted at the leading guard.

Before the guards could make any move, Chen Zhimo walked towards Yun Yan, tugging at his worn-out clothes as he walked, "It seems this guy still has to rely on clothes."

As he spoke, flames started to ignite on his body, scaring the guards so much that they immediately got ready to protect him.

The fire burned for a moment and then disappeared, and then Chen Zhimo, dressed in bright clothes, appeared.

Chen Zhimo had previously fought in the Poisonous Terrace and then rushed here without changing his clothes on the way, which made people mistakenly believe that he was a poor and powerless person.

"This must be Pavilion Master Yun of Shangqing Pavilion."

Chen Zhimo clasped his fists and bowed to Yun Yan, his tone full of respect.

Yun Yan responded: "Does this little brother want to participate in the auction or the martial arts competition to find a bride?"

Chen Zhimo replied, "I was just passing by your treasure land. I heard that there was an auction going on, so I wanted to come and broaden my horizons. Who wants to be stopped from entering? I wonder if Pavilion Master Yun can give me some convenience."

As a dignified Pavilion Master, Yun Yan was reluctant to talk to a small figure like Chen Zhimo, but in public, he couldn't show too much contempt for others, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "Little brother, please understand. If everyone wants to come in and watch the fun, Hongyun Tower will not be able to accommodate them."

Chen Zhimo smiled coldly and said, "Since Pavilion Master Yun organized this event, he must come up with a standard for who can enter and who cannot."

"Of course there are rules. Those who come to show their support from various major sects can enter. Those who hold an invitation from my Shangqing Pavilion can also enter. Those who have rare treasures to participate in the auction can also enter after passing the inspection." Yun Yan patiently explained, his voice raised a few degrees, and he also made the rules clear to the people around him.

"Oh, then why did I see some people who didn't follow the rules going in?" Chen Zhimo said lightly.

The guards all looked unhappy. If they were found to have abused their power for personal gain, they would probably suffer the consequences. They all glared at Chen Zhimo, wishing they could kill him immediately.

Liu Jin also knew the character of his subordinates. They were all people who would not do anything without profit. Given the opportunity today, they would definitely try to make some money.

Liu Jin didn't want to lose face in front of Yun Yan, so he shouted at Chen Zhimo: "Where did you come from, you wild boy, to meddle in the affairs of Shangqing Pavilion and Hongyun Tower? If you dare to cause trouble again, don't blame Hongyun Tower for being rude."

If there weren't so many people present, Liu Jin would have probably killed someone long ago.

Chen Zhimo was not afraid at all, he just smiled and said: "Since Shangqing Pavilion has set the rules, I will naturally abide by them. I have a rare treasure to participate in the auction, can I go in?"

"Hahahaha." Liu Jin laughed when he heard it. No matter how he looked at Chen Zhimo, he didn't think he was a man with rare treasures.

"What? Do you look down on me?" Chen Zhimo chuckled, not paying any attention to the mocking looks from the people around him.

Liu Jin put away his smile and said solemnly: "Boy, if you can produce a rare treasure, I will let you in immediately and treat you as a distinguished guest. If you can't produce a rare treasure, don't blame me for ruthlessly killing you in the street."

Yun Yan pretended to persuade him at this time: "Young man, you should leave quickly."

Chen Zhimo ignored what these people said and took out three talismans from his ring. Suddenly, a bright light appeared in the field.

These are three of the ten talismans that Chen Zhimo got when he obtained the talisman technique. They are also quite valuable treasures.

These talismans are not of much use to Chen Zhimo, but they can still come in handy for auctions.

"This talisman is extraordinary," Yun Yan sighed.

Seeing this, Liu Jin could only hold back his anger and said to Chen Zhimo, "Since you have a rare treasure to participate in the auction, please come in."

The guards watched Chen Zhimo walk towards Hongyun Tower with their eyes wide open. They never expected that Chen Zhimo could actually take out the treasure.

"By the way, Master Liu, this Hongyun Tower is yours. You are more familiar with it. You should treat me like a distinguished guest. Please quickly arrange a private room with a good view for me."

Liu Jin looked unhappy. How could he get a private room with just a few talismans from Chen Zhimo? He was not a person of status or position.

But he had already said it before, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and have someone arrange a private room on the second floor for Chen Zhimo.

Although the private room on the second floor was not the best, Chen Zhimo did not care. He did not care about these things in the first place. He just couldn't stand these guys who looked down on others and wanted to make them suffer a loss.

The servants were confused about Chen Zhimo's identity for a moment, and could only follow Liu Jin's instructions and take Chen Zhimo upstairs.

Chen Zhimo didn't care about the noble status of the leaders of other sects and walked straight to the front.

"This guy is so unruly," someone said behind his back.

Yun Yan's face was not looking good either. After all, he was the one who took charge of this event. If a junior lost face among the sect leaders, it would be a slap in the face of Shangqing Pavilion.

Yun Yan was about to attack Chen Zhimo when someone stopped him.

"Brother, why are you here too?"

The person who spoke was Mei Lique, the young master of Luoxing Jianyan Valley.

Chen Zhimo knew that Mei Lique was trying to help him out, so he clasped his fists and said, "Brother, you are here too, what a coincidence."

Mei Lique smiled and said, "You and I are destined to be together. Why don't we go to my private room in Luoxing Jianyan Valley to participate in the auction together? It just so happens that I am somewhat interested in your spiritual talisman."

Chen Zhimo looked at Mei Lique with gratitude, knowing that Mei Lique was protecting him, but he did not appreciate Mei Lique's kindness.

Chen Zhimo clasped his fists and said, "I thank you for your hospitality, but Mr. Liu has prepared a private room for me, so I won't squeeze in with you."

After saying that, Chen Zhimo turned around and went upstairs.

"Alas!" Mei Lique sighed. He thought that Chen Zhimo's treasure was exposed, and he himself had no cultivation. Regardless of whether he gained benefits at the auction or not, if someone really wanted to kill people for money or treasure, then Chen Zhimo would really not be able to survive.

Mei Lique was familiar with the methods of Hongyun Tower. Hongyun Tower might not do anything out of line here, but any independent cultivators who had no power to rely on, if they really showed their treasures at the auction, would probably be robbed by Hongyun Tower after leaving the city.

At this time, someone recognized Chen Zhimo and started talking in a low voice.

"That young man seems to be a disciple of Yinhe Kongyun Mountain."

"Yes, it's that guy. He was at the scene when we robbed the Poison Cloud Banner a few days ago."

"Is he the guy who sent away the Sky Poison Cloud Banner?"

"It was him who angered the Blood Hidden Palace. If the three immortals hadn't mediated, he would have probably incurred public wrath."
