Could it be that I am the cruel villain?-Chapter 783 - 448

Roar——

Howl——

Aura of resentment fills the sky, as bloody rain crosses the land.

The heavens and earth tremble under the furious roar of the giant beast. Although this Kui Ying is still young, it is, after all, descended from an Ancient Strange Beast. Even if it is tainted by blood, its power still commands awe.

Agitated and restless, it summons the wind and rain, its angry roar echoes through the sky, causing nearby creatures to scatter. For any cultivator, if they were to lose a precious Spirit Stone or a pool of supreme Spiritual Spring, their reaction might be even more intense.

Not to mention that this Blood Ganoderma is condensed from the blood and flesh of tens of thousands of cultivators. If refined, it can compensate for at least several hundred years of arduous cultivation. The only regret is that the Blood Evil Qi has penetrated deep into its bones, completely transforming this once benevolent mythical beast into a ferocious beast.

"Stop for now."

A handsome young master, wearing a Purple Gold Crown and holding a folded fan, waved the fan in his hand.

The four people behind him, upon hearing the command, stood side by side, turning their backs to each other in perfect harmony, ready for anything without revealing any aura. In this sealed place, any slight movement could invite great trouble. All four are Core Formation experts, all above mid-grade Core Formation, a formation rarely seen among the younger disciples.

Yet these few are still quite apprehensive of the rampaging Ancient Beast. Only the young master at the forefront remains relaxed, composed, his demeanor as if he were leisurely on a vacation.

Seeing the Ancient Beast sweep over his head, not only did he remain calm, but he also seemed more interested, for a simple reason.

Because he is the only one present who has already formed a Nascent Soul.

Yes, unlike Xuan Yinzi who failed to achieve the Nascent Soul Stage, or those forming a false Nascent Soul, he has truly reached the Nascent Soul Stage. Judging by his youthful and handsome face, he is likely only around thirty, a rare genius in the entire Cultivation World.

"Such an Exotic Beast has flown into a rage, coupled with the previous commotion, it seems someone has provoked this Exotic Beast. Jin An, you mentioned earlier that Jiang Feng was heading in this direction, correct?"

He stops in his tracks.

Scraping his boot against the ground, possibly by chance or perhaps intentionally, he happens to be at the exact spot where Jiang Feng and his party previously stopped. Observing the smooth, rounded cuts on nearby trees, his eyes fill with confidence.

"Yes, may I ask, young master, what shall we do next?"

"What to do? What to do… hmm, this Exotic Beast is not bad."

He looks up at the sky.

His first words are utterly surprising. Others' instinctive thought would be how to escape and save their lives, but his first reaction is actually to think the beast is quite good.

"I have already passed the age of thirty this year and have yet to find a Demon Beast to accompany me. Mainly, there are very few Demon Beasts adept in Thunder Techniques, and the ones in our Divine Thunder Valley are unremarkable, except for ancestor's Thunder Qilin, which matches my taste. But…"

"You know, the temper of that Thunder Qilin might be bigger than that of my ancestor. Last time, I almost got kicked to death by it when I went to play with it, tsk tsk."

He shrugs.

From their conversation, it is easy to deduce the identity of this noble young master. He is Lei Shanlin, the direct descendant of Divine Thunder Valley, grandson of the current Valley Master. His purpose here is equally straightforward.

"Dongyue is a place naturally nurturing to Demon Beasts. It is said that the beasts here all have ancient bloodlines, not only possessing intelligence but also considerable power. Normally, Dongyue never allows us to enter their core area."

"Now, due to the internal strife distracting them from cleaning up the old capital remnants, they have permitted us to investigate the old capital of Dongyue. Along the way, there are treasures of the land that have been nurtured for hundreds of years. We have only been here for one night and have already acquired five or six excellent Immortal Herbs. It truly is a treasure trove."

"As for this Demon Beast, it suits my taste. Not to mention its large size, its appearance is rather majestic, with a pair of dragon whiskers and Dragon Scales, indicating its superior bloodline. Yet at the Nascent Soul Stage, it can summon wind and rain, lightning, and thunder. It's making me itch with desire."

"Jin An, I recall you four learned the Four-sided Thunder Formation from Elder Lei Xie. It has amazing power, suppressing all filthy demon creatures. I wonder if it would work on this little fish, no, this Dragon Fish."

The Kui Ying's giant fins glide through the air, a sight that inevitably stirs admiration. To swim through the air is indeed enviable, along with its impressive appearance, it's no wonder it has caught this young master's fancy. After all, possessing one's own ride is a dream many cultivators strive for.

The words of this Young Master Lei were not too outlandish. With him, a genuine Nascent Soul Stage cultivator present, and his four subordinates, if undisturbed, they might find a way to capture it alive.

"This," he hesitated slightly. "Young master, you initially said we should first retrieve the ultimate technique of our Divine Thunder Valley…"

"Ah."

He slaps his forehead.

With a slightly exasperated expression, he holds the folded fan in his right hand, while his left fingers an incessantly rotating set of prayer beads. Each Treasure Bead seems engraved with strange texts and symbols, flickering with light while containing threads of Thunder Light, a sight that can awe anyone.

"Tsk, tsk tsk."

"Truly bothersome, forget it, forget it. Let's temporarily set aside the matter of capturing the Demon Beast. Retrieving our Divine Thunder Valley's ultimate technique is more important."

"Speaking of which, I still don't know where Jiang Feng learned our Divine Thunder Valley's ultimate technique. It is said he used it extensively during their sect's internal competitions, which is not a good sign."
