I Truly Am The Villian Chapter 2359 - 2358: Excavating the Divine Ruins, Elder Yu Appears

At this moment, countless people are conversing.

Actually, just from their conversations, one can gather a lot of information.

"Have you heard? This time, they've dug up some big things."

"Wow, this is interesting. Aren't they afraid the Divine Court will blame them?"

"Anything big surely carries significant weight."

"Interesting, really interesting. This time, I've prepared a large sum. Let's see who dares to contend with me," Baili Ang said.

The crowd continued to chatter.

Xu Zimei's gaze, however, was focused on the stage, particularly on those densely packed boxes.

"Master, this auction looks unusual. Listening to them, the items seem quite remarkable," Xu Sanduo commented.

"Do you know where these auction items originate from?" Xu Zimei asked.

"Just now, someone mentioned they were dug up," Xu Sanduo pondered momentarily.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and shouted, "Could it be tomb raiding..."

He stopped abruptly, realizing something, and quickly shut his mouth.

He glanced around, seeing no one paying attention to him, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master, am I correct in my guess?"

Xu Zimei chuckled, "Since you've guessed it's tomb raiding, who do you think the tomb belongs to?"

Xu Sanduo's mind raced, quickly understanding.

This time, however, he didn't dare speak.

The largest burial ground here is naturally the Divine Ruins.

Aside from the tombs of the gods, whose graves would be more fitting to target?

"Seems you've guessed correctly," Xu Zimei smiled.

"Every item here carries potent death aura and divine power. Where else could you excavate such divine artifacts?"

"Is Master also participating in the auction?" Xu Sanduo couldn't help but ask.

"Let's see if there's anything that catches my interest," Xu Zimei smiled.

"My standards are quite high; unless it's something I particularly need."

Xu Zimei had already decided to reforged Tyrant Shadow.

To evolve it towards the direction of the Heaven Challenge weapon.

Thus, the materials for forging also need to be prepared.

However, as one might imagine, materials for a Heaven Challenge weapon are few and far between.

Xu Zimei initially thought of defeating the Holy Court first and then searching through their treasury.

The Holy Court, as the current ruler of the Nine Domains World, surely has a vault worth exploring.

As long as Xu Zimei needs it, the Holy Court's treasury would likely contain it.

But just to be prepared, any materials found can be acquired on-the-go.

Xu Zimei and Xu Sanduo found a spot and sat down casually.

Nearby, a light hum sounded.

Xu Sanduo turned to look.

Only to see the two women from earlier sitting beside them.

The woman in the white dress seemed still resentful about the earlier incident, thinking Xu Zimei had snatched someone else's token.

She kept staring at Xu Zimei.

Xu Zimei seemed indifferent; others' opinions never mattered to him.

Of course, if the woman in the white dress attacked him, he wouldn't hold back.

Due to the crowded throng, the entire auction hall was very noisy.

The woman previously wearing the iridescent robe held a round bead in her hand.

Faint halos shimmered from the bead.

Xu Sanduo watched the halo, suddenly realizing the cacophony around him diminished.

The closer one got to the bead, the less affected they were by the noise.

"My younger sister is a bit unruly; I hope you won't mind, sir.

My name is Zhou Yunque. My younger sister is Zhou Tongtong. We are from the Ten Thousand Immortal Left Alliance," explained the woman named Zhou Yunque.

Xu Zimei was uninterested in their names.

As for the Ten Thousand Immortal Left Alliance, Xu Zimei hadn't heard of them.

However, for them to dare announce themselves, they must be a somewhat reputable force.

But since Xu Zimei wasn't interested, he didn't say much.

Zhou Tongtong couldn't help but say, "You're quite rude. My sister is speaking to you, why aren't you responding?"

"Whether I respond depends on my mood. What does it have to do with you?" Xu Zimei gave her a casual glance.

Continuing, he said, "I'm in a decent mood and don't want to kill. If not, with your attitude, you'd already be a corpse under my feet."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tongtong's expression slightly changed.

Even Zhou Yunque was a bit startled.

She had introduced herself using the Ten Thousand Immortal Left Alliance name to pressure Xu Zimei a bit.

After all, the Ten Thousand Immortal Left Alliance has some influence near these Divine Ruins.

But Xu Zimei seemed completely unfazed by them.

"Sir, you look unfamiliar. May I ask where you hail from?" Zhou Yunque smiled and asked.

"I come from the Eternal Dynasty," Xu Zimei replied.

"Ah, those puppet dynasty people," Zhou Tongtong sneered.

"The Founding Sovereign was indeed a hero, but his successors aren't up to par. That vast dynasty has become nothing but a nursery for Divine Spirits cultivating followers."

Hearing Zhou Tongtong's words, Xu Sanduo was a bit surprised and asked, "Based on your tone, you seem quite disdainful towards the Divine Spirits."

"Divine Spirits' followers can enter the Divine Ruins, stop pretending," Zhou Tongtong sneered.

"A bunch of grave robbers, digging the Divine Ruins. Would the followers of Divine Spirits do such a thing?"

Xu Sanduo didn't refute this point.

Followers indeed wouldn't act in such a manner.

While in the Eternal Dynasty, he thought everyone was a follower, and he alone woke.

That kind of 'everyone's drunk but I am sober' feeling.

But after following Xu Zimei away from the Eternal Dynasty and arriving at the Divine Ruins.

He realized there are many who are awake.

And these people are even bolder than him, daring to dig the Divine Ruins.

They are indeed grave robbing!

This is forbidden. If caught by the Divine Court, death is certain.

Are these people not afraid of dying?

Xu Sanduo couldn't help but have such thoughts.

"Aren't you afraid of getting caught?" Xu Sanduo asked.

"Afraid? If because of fear you don't act, then living cautiously—what meaning does life have?" Zhou Tongtong said.

She seemed young, yet she saw through many things.

Throughout life, people encounter many fears.

Are you going to flee each time?

Even if a knife is at your throat, you wouldn't dare to resist due to fear. Would you just accept death like that?

So it all boils down to this.

If the profit is sufficient, life and death might not matter.

...…

While the two were talking.

The center of the venue suddenly grew silent.

A grandly dressed elder in red robes, looking quite festive, stepped onto the stage.

He stood directly on the high platform.

Seeing the elder appear, many people immediately recognized him.

The murmurs below grew louder.

"It's Elder Yu. Didn't expect Elder Yu to personally come this time. Seems the auction items are extraordinary!"

"Who would say otherwise? Elder Yu is the face of the Earth Divine Auction House, not just anything could bring him out."

Amidst people's discussions, Elder Yu swiftly waved his bright red sleeve.
