I Truly Am The Villian Chapter 2624 - 2623: Great Dao of Ten Absolutes, Thousand-Eyed Five Spirits

But ever since this banquet began, trouble had been coming one wave after another.

Although Jiang Shoutian didn't know what this so‑called Thousand-Eyed Clan was.

Anyone qualified to become an enemy of the Heaven and Earth Clan could hardly be weak.

So Jiang Shoutian was even starting to feel a bit regretful at this moment.

If they'd known about the Old Lady's matter earlier, they shouldn't have gotten involved.

The risk was too great.

At this time, the Black and White Protectors seemed to have also seen through Jiang Shoutian's thoughts.

So they said, "What, did the Old Lady not promise you benefits you're satisfied with?"

"Things have come to this point, or is it that your Xuntian clan wants to withdraw?"

Seeing that the Black and White Protectors were somewhat displeased.

Jiang Shoutian also knew the Old Lady had already given her word before.

Once this matter was settled, their Xuntian clan could return to the Heaven and Earth Clan.

And there find a place to settle down.

This was an enormous favor.

And they truly had no way out.

Thus Jiang Shoutian said with a smile, "You two adults misunderstand, our loyalty to the Old Lady can be witnessed by sun and moon, known by heaven and earth."

"I was only thinking, in this battle, how many chances of victory we have."

"Should we go to the Heaven and Earth Clan to call for reinforcements?"

"After all, our lives are small matters; to delay the Old Lady's affairs would be the real disaster."

The Black and White Protectors didn't wish to question Jiang Shoutian's words.

They directly said, "If we go to the Heaven and Earth Clan for reinforcements now, the whole thing will be over long before they arrive."

"We only need to wait for the Old Lady to finish; with the Old Lady's strength, she can easily take care of these people from the Thousand-Eyed Clan.

What we need is time."

Jiang Shoutian had a rough idea in his heart.

So he quickly walked toward Jiang Zhuoshi and the others.

After coming before the crowd.

He said, "Father, please let the Three Ancestors come forth."

"And Uncle Black Dragon, let the two elders of your Zhou Di clan also come lend a hand."

"As long as we get through this, from then on our two clans will truly rise to glory."

"As things stand, this is all we can do," Jiang Zhuoshi nodded slightly.

He said, "The Three Ancestors are right here; they can come forth at any time."

"But once the fighting starts and the scene descends into chaos, no one will be able to look after you; you must protect yourselves well."

Hearing this, Xu Zimei quietly let out a breath.

This meant he would have his chance.

Once everyone started fighting, no one would care about him.

And that would be the best time for him to act.

At this moment, Jiang Shoutian looked at Xu Zimei.

He said, "Rui'er, you take good care of niece Baizhi. After all, you two can be considered to have a marriage contract."

Xu Zimei nodded slightly.

He said, "The Old Lady's matter is of great importance; you don't need to mind us."

"Later I'll take her and find a place to hide."

Jiang Shoutian nodded slightly.

...…

At this time, they saw outside the Firmament, five figures stepping through the air toward them.

These five figures had not yet truly come before the crowd, but their momentum was like a rainbow, already making people feel that oppressive pressure.

Especially from the five of them, countless beams of light rained down.

As though before the people even arrived, they intended to level this entire back mountain.

"Presumptuous, this is the Old Lady's place of quiet Cultivation—how could it allow the likes of you to casually destroy it?"

They saw the ten Enlightenment Level women who had come earlier with the Old Lady now stepping through the air.

Each one of them was valiant and heroic, their aura vast and overwhelming.

These ten women each formed hand seals and chanted incantations, and the aura on their bodies faintly merged into one.

"Ten Extremes of the Great Dao—sever Heaven, sever earth, turn all to nothingness."

In an instant, these ten women seemed to become a single person.

But on closer look, they were still ten.

The reason for such an illusion was that the Great Dao these ten women cultivated seemed to be one and the same.

When the Great Dao around the ten burst forth.

They saw ten gates appear before the ten women.

These ten gates drew together, forming a circular Formation.

Capable of absorbing all incoming beams of light.

And at the same time reflecting them back.

It was the first time Xu Zimei had seen ten people jointly cultivating a single Great Dao.

The greatest difficulty lay in having to select ten people with the same Great Dao.

You must know that everyone's experiences are different; the Great Dao they Cultivate and the paths they walk are all not the same.

To gather ten Comprehenders of the Dao who share the same root and origin was as hard as climbing to heaven.

Because they jointly Cultivated the Great Dao, once these ten joined hands, they could unleash strength where one plus one is greater than two.

Now with the Thousand-Eyed Clan attacking, these ten were originally guarding outside and hadn't been brought into the back mountain.

But with the back mountain in danger, they couldn't care about much else and hurried over to help.

Seeing these ten, the Black and White Protectors also quietly let out a breath.

The two of them were the Old Lady's personal guards.

You could say they were the Old Lady's final safeguard.

Generally, unless absolutely necessary, they would not leave the Old Lady's side to go fight.

Because once they went into battle, no one would be protecting the Old Lady.

"You ten must not cling to the fight; just hold on so the Old Lady isn't affected," the Black and White Protectors instructed.

"Yes," the ten nodded in unison.

The Black and White Protectors were essentially their commanders, higher in both strength and status.

So they were all under the Black and White Protectors' direction.

...

Just then, the so‑called five of the Thousand-Eyed Clan had already stepped through the air and arrived.

These five were extremely strange, wearing shorts and vests, looking nothing at all like mighty experts.

But when they exerted their power, countless eyes surfaced upon their bodies.

From skull to soles, innumerable eyes—at least a thousand of them—were growing all over their bodies.

Anyone with trypophobia would hardly be able to bear the sight.

"So that's who it is—turns out it's the Thousand-Eyed Bodhi Tree."

Seeing the newcomers, although their expressions were solemn, the Black and White Protectors naturally showed no fear in their words.

"Your Thousand Eyes Clan really are like Yin Souls that never disperse. Do you think with just the five of you, you can harm the Old Lady?"

This Thousand-Eyed Bodhi Tree was also somewhat famous within the Thousand-Eyed Clan.

Their true form was a Bodhi Tree.

Later this Bodhi Tree attained the Dao and entered the Thousand Eyes Clan's Bloodline.

Thus it began Cultivating the Dao.

During the Bodhi Tree's Cultivation, a fox would often come to steal and eat Bodhi Fruit.

There was also a male eagle who built a nest upon the Bodhi Tree and lived within it.

Later on, a Cultivator came to this place and discovered the Bodhi Tree had special wonders in Cultivation, so he settled here and sought Enlightenment.

After many years, beneath the Bodhi Tree, a white insect appeared, gnawing on the Bodhi Tree's roots.

Thus, one tree, one fox, one eagle, one man, and one insect were all affected by the Thousand-Eyed Clan's Bloodline.

The five relied on the Thousand-Eyed Bodhi Tree.

They seemed separate, but in fact the five had never been apart.

And the five who had now come to Xuntian Mansion were precisely the Thousand-Eyed Bodhi Tree, Thousand-Eyed White Fox, Thousand-Eyed Eagle King, Thousand-Eyed Traveler, and Thousand-Eyed Insect Leader mentioned above.
