I Truly Am The Villian

Chapter 997: Chapter 996 Attacking the Slaying Immortal Sect

Gao Ru Jin had not finished speaking when he was interrupted.

“Shut up,” Elder Gao coldly snorted.

“Exactly because of my identity, I must handle this impartially. I have always been just and incorruptible.

Do not bring family matters into this or else today I shall sever all ties with the Gao family.”

Having said that, Elder Gao changed his expression to a smile and walked over to Xu Zimei and the others.

He spoke very respectfully: “Young masters, I apologize for startling you.

...

Are you satisfied with how I handled this?”

“He,” Xu Zimei pointed to Gao Yang who was nearby, and asked, “How do you plan to deal with him?”

“The victims are here, I am willing to hear your opinions,” Elder Gao quickly replied.

“Uncle, what are you doing?” Gao Yang shouted from behind.

“Just arrest them all, I want them to live a life worse than death.”

“Shut up,” Elder Gao scolded angrily.

Gao Yang was probably not accustomed to such a scene and was frightened into silence.

“Just do as he said,” Xu Zimei looked at Gao Yang and said, “Not to make life worse than death, but make it quick.”

“What do you mean?” Elder Gao’s expression changed slightly, asking uncertainly.

“Kill him, I want you to do it personally,” Xu Zimei replied.

“He’s still young, just a child, severe punishment would suffice,” responded Elder Gao.

“If Elder Gao is unwilling, I won’t insist,” Xu Zimei said with a smile.

“That’s not what I meant,” Elder Gao quickly shook his head, he turned around, looking troubled at Gao Yang.

After a long silence, he finally walked step by step towards Gao Yang.

“Brother, what are you doing?” Gao Ru Jin stood in the way, shouting, “He’s Yang’er, our own family.”

“I know,” Elder Gao nodded, “Move aside.”

“I won’t,” Gao Ru Jin shook his head.

“Move!” Elder Gao roared angrily, pushing Gao Ru Jin aside.

Elder Gao held a significant status within the Gao family, always in a superior position because of his identity.

Thus yelled at, Gao Ru Jin stood there, unsure how to respond.

“Uncle, what are you doing?” Gao Yang asked in panic.

He sensed Elder Gao’s intent to kill, and wanted to run, but his limbs were broken and could not recover instantly.

“Uncle, I am Gao Yang,” Gao Yang shouted.

“Yang’er, I apologize for this hardship, but it’s for our Gao family,” Elder Gao sighed.

Then amidst the desperate shouts of Gao Yang, a palm strike fell.

“Crack,” a sound like a skull shattering was heard.

A streak of blood flowed from Gao Yang’s forehead, and his body lay straight on the ground.

Elder Gao turned around, his face full of smiles.

“How do you feel about this, Young Master?”

“Very good,” Xu Zimei nodded.

His gaze turned to Old Wei and Wei Ying nearby, he smiled, “Old Wei, need any help?”

“It’s up to you, Young Master,” Old Wei replied.

“Elder Gao, please help me deal with these people too,” Xu Zimei turned and said with a smile.

Elder Gao’s body visibly trembled, then he nodded again.

Spiritual energy burst around him, rushing towards the Town-State General.

“Right, remember to settle the debts owed to the inn,” Xu Zimei said as he left with Lin Ruhu.

…

Compared to the chaotic scene inside Bright Moon Pavilion, the outside atmosphere suddenly seemed much quieter.

As if even the air had become fresher.

“I guess I’m really not cut out for being a profligate,” Xu Zimei chuckled.

“People grow up,” Lin Ruhu chuckled on the side.

“Xiao Guizi, remember to take care of the aftermath,” Xu Zimei instructed.

“The Gao brothers cannot leave Maori City alive.”

“Understood,” Xiao Guizi nodded slightly, then his figure began to fade.

“Zimo, what shall we do now?” Lin Ruhu asked.

“Let’s take a walk around Maori City, and after Xiao Guizi returns, we’ll head back to the Sect Gate,” Xu Zimei said.

…

Inside Bright Moon Pavilion, after fighting for over a dozen rounds, Elder Gao feigned a flaw. When the opponent fell for it, he counterattacked and beheaded the General.

His chest heaved uncontrollably, showing he was considerably drained.

He slowly approached Gao Ru Jin, patting his shoulder.

A bloody handprint remained on his bloody hand.

“Why?” Gao Ru Jin raised his head and asked blankly.

“He is the Saint Heir of the True Martial Holy Sect,” Elder Gao directly replied.

“That’s the one…” Gao Ru Jin paused, seeming to realize everything made sense.

“Why provoke him of all people,” Elder Gao sighed.

“I did it for the sake of the Gao family; don’t hold a grudge against me, I never wished for this.”

While they were talking, Xiao Guizi walked in from outside.

“Sorry, I forgot to take something,” Xiao Guizi smiled.

“What is it?” Elder Gao asked, puzzled.

“Your life.”

…

When they returned to the True Martial Holy Sect, the sky had already darkened.

A crescent moon was faintly visible, hidden in the evening mist.

Stars twinkled sporadically across the sky.

Xu Zimei sat in the pavilion within Goose Southern Peak’s courtyard, leisurely watching the night scene.

“Is everything ready?” he asked.

From the darkness nearby, a voice emerged.

“Ready.”

“Good, let’s consider this the final battle before Destiny arrives,” Xu Zimei nodded.

He then asked, “Any reaction from the Slaying Immortal Sect?”

“Very quiet,” the voice replied.

“Even the disciples within the Sect Gate rarely descend from the mountain, they have been plotting something lately.”

“Someone is coming,” the voice said before disappearing, leaving the surroundings exceptionally quiet.

Xu Zimei looked up, only to see an elderly figure walking through the entrance of Goose Southern Peak.

“Heavenly Curtain War God,” Xu Zimei was momentarily startled.

Then he stood up to greet, “Ancestor.”

The Heavenly Curtain War God carefully looked him over, then chuckled lightly.

“Ancestor’s visit late at night, may I know the reason?” Xu Zimei asked.

“Of course, it’s about you,” the Heavenly Curtain War God smiled.

“I don’t quite understand, please enlighten me, Ancestor,” Xu Zimei replied.

“You plan to go to war with the Slaying Immortal Sect,” the Heavenly Curtain War God stated.

Xu Zimei nodded, not denying it.

“Why not inform the Sect Gate?” the Heavenly Curtain War God replied.

“Hasn’t the Sect Gate already made a choice?” Xu Zimei asked.

“I know you harbor resentment,” the Heavenly Curtain War God said.

“No resentment, really, I am very open-minded,” Xu Zimei shook his head.

A bit disappointed, but no real resentment.

“Let me tell you this, in this world apart from parents, most relationships are actually just about mutual use,” the Heavenly Curtain War God stated.

“I understand that,” Xu Zimei nodded.
