I Truly Am The Villian Chapter 2325 - 2324: Outsiders and Aberrations

Xu Zimei felt the power within the crystal with his hands, then looked at Zhong Shanshen and asked, "Did the Thousand Calamities Doomsday see this item before?"

Zhong Shanshen shook his head.

He said, "Perhaps, but this item was previously kept by my father."

"I don't know the specifics, as the head of the family at that time was my father."

Xu Zimei was quite interested.

The Thousand Calamities Doomsday, after seeing this crystal, didn't take it.

Instead, he returned it to the Tianqi Family.

This was very intriguing.

"You can have this crystal; it's of no use to us anyway," Zhong Shanshen said.

"As long as my sister and I can be safe, and you keep your promise, that's enough."

Zhong Shanshen had a clear way of viewing things.

He knew that the item was now in Xu Zimei's hands.

Whether Xu Zimei would give it to them was not something they could decide.

Rather than having it taken from them forcefully, it might be better to let things go with the flow, perhaps selling a favor.

Giving something up to gain something else, that's the main thing.

Too much is greed; being overly concerned, you end up gaining nothing worthwhile.

The concept of guarding treasure as a crime, not everyone understands it.

"Don't worry, I'm in a good mood, and I won't go back on my word," Xu Zimei said.

Zhong Shanshen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Being in a good mood meant things should be stable.

If the mood were bad, these formidable beings, unpredictable in their moods, could lead to a bad fate.

Moreover, he could sense that Xu Zimei's strength was on a completely different level compared to the White Roaring Tiger clan.

To put it simply, angering the White Roaring Tiger clan, they could still struggle somewhat.

But angering Xu Zimei meant certain death.

His greatest fear was that the crystal passed down in his family was of no use to Xu Zimei.

Not being able to aid the formidable figure in front of him, that would be a major trouble.

"I will take you to the Yao Pond," Xu Zimei said.

"But before that, we need to handle the immediate trouble."

Zhong Shanshen looked out the window from the third floor.

It was clear to see that the White Roaring Tiger clan was already converging here.

Now, unless they break through the encirclement, it's impossible to leave.

...…

White Roaring Tiger army.

The clan leader of this generation of White Roaring Tigers was named Hu Fu.

One could tell from his name that he was sharp and aggressive.

Hu Fu's size was larger than other White Roaring Tigers, bursting forth with a mighty aura of dominance.

Moreover, the black and white tiger stripes on Hu Fu's body were even deeper, with an even more profound black in the midst.

"King, they're just a few humans; why deploy such a large operation?"

Hu Fu's confidant beside him asked in confusion.

"What do you understand, anything related to the Tianqi Family isn't minor," Hu Fu said coldly.

"The Tianqi Family isn't simple. It's said they were once a vast family, and back then, the Monster Race had to retreat when they saw them."

"So what?" the confidant said indifferently.

"They've fallen, their sun has set, who cares about them now."

"That may be so, but it's likely that their family still has some inherited treasures."

Hu Fu said.

"A dead camel is bigger than a horse, do you understand?"

"This time, after we wiped out the Tianqi Family and turned their ancestral land upside down, we found nothing."

"I feel unsatisfied."

"I understand," the confidant quickly replied.

"The last two siblings of the Tianqi Family surely know the secret."

"After all, the family is down to those two, they must know everything; others wouldn't have died without telling them."

"Smart of you," Hu Fu nodded with satisfaction.

He said, "I ordered that we need them alive; otherwise, do you think those two siblings would have been able to escape?"

"With the army closing in this time, forget about the two siblings, even a mosquito couldn't escape."

...…

Xu Zimei stared at the crystal before him, his inner power continually pouring into it.

Yet the crystal showed no reaction.

Only after Xu Zimei tried several times did he discover the crystal only reacted to Divine Soul; other things were of no use.

"Since that's the case," Xu Zimei didn't fear, he poured all his Divine Soul into it.

At this moment, Xu Zimei could feel the entire power inside the crystal started to operate.

Seemingly actively devouring his Divine Soul.

And this force began pulling his consciousness into another space.

Xu Zimei finally understood why the descendants of the Tianqi Family couldn't use this crystal.

Because this immense Divine Soul Power was not something a single person could withstand.

At least, one must be a Comprehender of the Dao to qualify to touch this crystal.

Otherwise, before unraveling its secrets, one's entire Divine Soul might be devoured, causing immediate death.

...…

At this moment, Xu Zimei no longer resisted.

Allowing his consciousness to be pulled into another space.

"Fated one, you have arrived."

A kind voice emerged.

Xu Zimei opened his eyes, wanting to see the scene around him, but the surrounding space appeared like chaotic currents.

Continuously flickering, nothing was clear to see.

Logically, no matter the space, it shouldn't block Xu Zimei's sight and perception.

Yet at this moment, Xu Zimei found that he couldn't penetrate this space.

"Who are you?" Xu Zimei asked.

"An external being," the person replied with a smile.

"To have obtained this crystal will change your destiny."

"Zzzzz..."

Midway through, the voice started to become muddled and intermittent.

"You... obstruct... it doesn't matter... crack... large"

Xu Zimei could only partially hear these words before a sudden tumult of thunder occurred.

The void space in front of him exploded instantly.

And Xu Zimei's consciousness returned to the outside world.

This made him frown slightly.

Originally, he felt he was close to uncovering the truth.

Such a truth, concerning the Thousand Calamities Doomsday's injuries, the origins of the Glazed Glass Immortal Realm, and even the mystery of the disappearance of the Great Emperor Tianqi.

He was about to unravel all of these.

But suddenly, the entire crystal seemed to have been disturbed.

He hadn't asked many clues yet, the conversation couldn't continue, and he was forced to withdraw his Divine Soul.

"An external being?"

Xu Zimei only got this clue.

Actually, he had some speculation, but many key elements remained unclear.

Can the so-called external be understood as people of the Nine Domains World?

But currently, the Nine Domains World fundamentally cannot be exited.

This place feels like a cage.

Those inside cannot leave, those outside cannot enter.

Xu Zimei continuously pondered, but some key clues remained elusive.

He attempted to enter the crystal once more.

But it seemed the crystal was temporarily closed.
