I Truly Am The Villian Chapter 2324 - 2323: The Mysterious Crystal, Arrival of the Monster Race Army

"Take me to your ancestral land," Xu Zimei said.

"What you said before must be kept," Zhong Shanshen reminded.

"Kid, you must understand, I have countless ways to get answers from you, but I've chosen the gentlest one. You should be aware of that."

Xu Zimei said calmly.

"I know, that's why I trust you," Zhong Shanshen nodded slightly.

The difference between Xu Zimei and others is that he gave Zhong Shanshen a choice.

Instead of forcefully taking what he wanted from the beginning.

Xu Zimei grabbed Zhong Shanshen and his sister and flew directly to the ancestral land of the Tianqi Family.

Below Monster Soul Cliff lies a dense forest.

Within the forest, resources are abundant, the terrain is flat, and the Spiritual Energy is thick.

It's fair to say that when the Great Emperor Tianqi chose to establish his family here, there were many considerations.

If the family could thrive here, its future would be limitless.

But probably even the Great Emperor Tianqi did not expect his descendants to be so incompetent.

Not only failing to protect the family but even facing annihilation.

If Zhong Shanshen and his sister were killed, the Tianqi Family might truly disappear from this world.

One can only say that Xu Zimei came at the right time.

He looked down calmly, walking through the air above the forest and stopping in front of a tall tower.

"This is the place."

"This Tianqi Tower was built by our ancestor himself,"

Zhong Shanshen said.

Xu Zimei descended from the sky and found flames still flickering around.

It seemed that some houses and buildings had been burned by the White Roaring Tiger clan.

Only this Tianqi Tower stood intact.

Seeing the entire family burned down, deep hatred filled Zhong Shanshen's eyes.

He clenched his fists, hating only that his strength was too weak to take revenge.

"Brother," Zhong Shanxue said worriedly, looking at her brother.

"Don't be like this. When we grow up, we will cultivate well and avenge our uncles and elders."

Zhong Shanshen nodded slightly.

"I know. Don't worry, brother will be fine. I still need to protect you."

In the past, although the Tianqi Family had fallen, everyone loved each other and lived in harmony.

Now turned into ruins, one could fully imagine the siblings' feelings.

Xu Zimei looked at the Tianqi Tower before him.

He knew that the tower's intact state wasn't due to the White Roaring Tigers' mercy.

Rather, they didn't have the ability to destroy the tower.

On the Tianqi Tower in front of him, despite countless years passing, traces of the Great Dao's Taoist Charm still lingered within.

These Taoist Charms have lasted through endless time and have not dissipated, enough to imagine how powerful the Great Emperor Tianqi was.

With the protection of the Taoist Charms, this Tianqi Tower was invulnerable to swords, spears, and invincible to water and fire.

This is no exaggeration; unless a strong person with a Taoist Fruit or higher tried, they might destroy the tower.

"The crystal you mentioned is inside this tower?" Xu Zimei asked.

Zhong Shanshen quickly nodded.

He said, "I'll take you to find it."

The three entered the tower, not reaching its top but arriving at the third floor.

Because the Taoist Charm of the entire tower was hidden within the third floor.

Generally speaking, everyone would think that the treasure must be hidden at the top of the tower.

But this Tianqi Tower went against the norm.

No one would have thought that the seemingly ordinary third floor held the greatest secret.

Upon entering the Tianqi Tower, fragmented crystals could be seen everywhere.

These crystals were originally part of the entire structure of the Tianqi Tower.

Or to put it more purely, straightforwardly, this tower was supposed to be a Holy Land for cultivation.

These crystals, together with the Great Dao, formed different cultivation grounds.

To supply the descendants of the Tianqi Family for cultivation.

Sadly, later, the Tianqi Family declined, and the Tianqi Tower became a cultivation resource they couldn't afford. As time passed, and due to a lack of energy replenishment, the crystals inside the tower slowly shattered.

And the fallen Tianqi Family no longer had the capability to restore the tower.

Until now, the tower had become a mere decoration, almost entirely useless.

"Such a nice tower, what a pity," Xu Zimei said.

He glanced around, feeling the engravings of the Formation and runes on the walls inside the tower.

It was evident that the Great Emperor Tianqi indeed put a lot of effort when building this tower.

Yet, no matter how good something is, it cannot withstand time's ravages.

Upon hearing Xu Zimei's words, Zhong Shanshen felt a slight pain in his heart.

This was the disgrace of their Tianqi Family.

The descendants not living up to expectations wasn't just a problem of one or two people, but of the majority.

While on the third floor, Zhong Shanshen placed his hands on the Taoist Charm.

This kind of Taoist Charm is imperceptible to the average person, and even if discovered, the contained items might not be attainable.

One must either possess the bloodline of the Tianqi Family or use brute force to shatter it.

In short, it's not an easy task.

A swirling vortex appeared on the remnant Taoist Charm.

As the vortex's power diminished, it spun wildly, and a box fell out of it.

Xu Zimei took the box from Zhong Shanshen's hands, feeling a sense of familiarity with the contents inside.

This familiarity didn't come because he had seen it before.

It was because he had an identical crystal within his body.

Just that the crystal inside him was something he had accidentally obtained when he traveled across the Cosmic realms to the Yuan Central Continent.

"Could there be a connection between the two crystals?" Xu Zimei thought in surprise.

It's worth noting that after obtaining this crystal, he had never figured out what it was and eventually left it at that.

He first left the crystal within his body alone and instead opened the box he held.

......

"Someone's coming from outside," Zhong Shanxue shouted.

She stood at the window on the third floor of the Tianqi Tower, looking downward.

Suddenly, loud footsteps were heard outside, although Xu Zimei had noticed them from afar.

But he was too lazy to pay attention.

It wasn't until those troops approached the Tianqi Tower that the Zhong siblings realized.

Looking out of the window, they saw hundreds of White Roaring Tigers converging on this place.

It's likely that the death of those White Roaring Tigers earlier had drawn the attention of other Monster Races.

Zhong Shanshen asked Xu Zimei nervously, "What should we do?"

Xu Zimei waved his hand, indifferent to the approach of the Monster Race.

He opened the box, observing the crystal inside.

It was detectable that this item only looked like a crystal, but wasn't real crystal.

It was more like some kind of Great Dao power intertwined to form something.

Xu Zimei placed his hands on it, wanting to more precisely feel its abilities.
