I Truly Am The Villian Chapter 2617 2616: The Living Being of the Old Universe, the Old Lady's Secret

This is not the time to change people on the battlefield, not to mention whether there is anyone to replace.

Take the Old Lady, for instance, can this person be casually replaced?

Where would that leave the Old Lady?

So from the very beginning, it was impossible to change people.

Either lose or win, there are only these two choices.

At this moment, seeing that Xu Zimei had the upper hand.

Their faces also looked unsightly.

"What do you want to know? We'll tell you after the competition is over," said Shen Heilong.

"That won't do, I don't fully trust the credibility of you old ancestors," Xu Zimei shook his head.

This was his only chance to manipulate these people, leaving them in a dilemma.

So how could he miss it?

"Jiang Rui, don't forget you are also a member of this family," Jiang Shoutian said angrily.

He didn't expect this once obedient son to change so much after showing his strength.

Fearless of both heaven and earth, with no considerations.

"Precisely because I am a member of this family."

"I am about to earn merit for the family, about to shed blood for the family, so you should tell me more."

Xu Zimei replied.

"You old ancestors better consider this quickly."

"Don't keep the Old Lady waiting too long, or it won't be good for anyone."

They had indeed been discussing for quite some time.

He Lingfeng, waiting beside, was getting impatient.

He proactively provoked, "Are you all too afraid to compete, afraid to die?"

"In my opinion, if you admit defeat right away, I'd still allow it."

The crowd was immensely furious at He Lingfeng's words.

At this point, Jiang Zhuoshi took a deep breath and exchanged glances with Shen Heilong.

Then he looked towards Xu Zimei.

He said, "We can tell you this matter, but you must keep it confidential."

"Otherwise, our two clans will be in grave trouble."

"Don't worry, I am a member of the Xuntian Clan, how could I do something that harms the family," Xu Zimei promised.

Jiang Shoutian rolled his eyes.

Now a family member indeed.

Have you forgotten your earlier demeanor?

Yet he went on to arrange his words.

He said, "The secret of the back mountain actually originates from a year ago."

"While exploring the Heavenly Burial Grounds, we discovered a very special tomb."

"Whether the tomb is of General Level or King Level is hard to say."

"Anyway, after that tomb was opened, we saw a living person."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zimei instantly became interested.

The Heavenly Burial Grounds, a remnant area of the Old Universe, at most had some Divine Spirits who hadn't completely perished.

But there were indeed Divine Spirits.

If this matter were spread, surely all worlds would be shocked.

Countless powerhouses of the Giant World might even arrive.

The value of that living person is immeasurable.

It can be said that the entire study of the Old Universe, once annihilated by time, would completely reveal itself to everyone.

Such a living person from the Old Universe.

Sufficient to drive people crazy.

Seemingly holding unparalleled value.

"What... what kind of living person?" Xu Zimei couldn't help but ask.

"A Seeker who was pursuing the end of the Great Dao," Jiang Shoutian replied simply.

"We naturally understood the value and the risk of that person."

"But you know, some things starve the timid, and overfill the brave."

"Our Xuntian and Zhou Di clans, despite seeming glamorous at this Sky View Corner."

"In the face of those truly Powerful Clans, we are still not worth mentioning."

"Therefore, we see this as an opportunity, a chance to change the destiny of our race."

"We brought that person back to the clan and imprisoned him."

"For the next six months, we've been studying this person."

"However, the information obtained is very limited."

"Neither persuasion nor coercion seemed to have much effect on that person."

"Even various memory searches and Soul Seizure methods we used, but unfortunately, none worked."

"Then one day, that person suddenly spoke."

"He asked us to find him some origin power, and as long as he obtained it, he would trade with us."

"Whether it's intelligence or matters about the Old Universe, he could tell us."

Xu Zimei frowned slightly.

Is this the reason for the Xuntian Clan's search for the Innate Bead?

He felt something was off.

This didn't quite add up.

Would the Xuntian Clan really trade with the other party so easily?

He asked, "What does that person want to do with the origin power?"

"We don't know," Jiang Shoutian shook his head.

"Continue, what is the connection between this and the Old Lady?" Xu Zimei asked.

He knew Jiang Shoutian hadn't told the truth, or perhaps had concealed something.

But he didn't press further.

Just knowing the general picture was enough for him to deduce the rest.

"The Old Lady," at this point Jiang Zhuoshi took over the discussion.

He said, "We learned from some unofficial sources that the Old Lady's life was nearing its end and she was constantly seeking ways to extend it."

"You know, although our Xuntian Clan has been separate from the Heaven and Earth Clan for a long time, we have always paid close attention to them."

"Later, we found that living person and negotiated with him, and he said that within the Old Universe, there are methods to help the dying extend their life."

"What kind of method?" Xu Zimei couldn't help but ask.

Life extension, such a thing, sounds simple.

But there is a requirement.

How long is life extended?

To extend life by a year, and to extend life by a hundred years are two different concepts.

But Xu Zimei's query at this moment, Jiang Zhuoshi and others did not answer.

Instead, they said, "This is concerning the Old Lady's secret, we cannot tell you now."

"However, this afternoon you all have the right to go to the back mountain, and you will know once you see it."

"You should get on stage now, enough time has been drawn out, we have told you a lot, this battle must be won," Jiang Shoutian said.

Xu Zimei thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Since he could go to the back mountain himself, he would wait and see then.

......

As Xu Zimei took the stage, He Lingfeng narrowed his eyes slightly.

He laughed, "What, are you planning to duel alone with me, not letting that little beauty of yours come on stage?"

Xu Zimei didn't bring Shen Baizhi along, mainly because he found her to be a hindrance.

So he said, "To beat you, I alone am enough."

Then he glanced at the Old Lady.

He smiled, "Mrs. Qiu, fists and kicks can be blind, if I accidentally injure him seriously, it's no big deal, right?"

The Old Lady chuckled.

She said, "If you have the capability to kill him, no one will trouble you, those are my words."

The Old Lady's words seemed not to care about the life and death of these juniors.

However, off to the side, He Lingfeng was angered.

In his view, how dare Xu Zimei say such things.

He was the orthodox of the Heaven and Earth Clan, while Xu Zimei, as a Xuntian Clan offspring, was at best a lowly servant.

How could he be so arrogant in front of the main family?
