Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!

Chapter 234 234: Amiss

"They're waiting until I come across some Beast. They probably want to attack me when I'm busy fending off the beasts of this forest. These people aren't fools. But at the same time, they're not very clever either. Though I do want to see the moment they realize how futile their strength is."

Xu Shan kept moving forward. And just as he expected, he was soon in an area surrounded by Heaven Grade Beasts.

This was a place that even Assassins avoided while entering, not wanting to end up fighting the beasts and weakening the natural defense of this forest.

As soon as Xu Shan stepped into the Domain, the Beasts caught his scent. The Beasts could feel an invader in their domain.

Taking Xu Shan as a threat, the Heaven Grade Beasts roared and charged towards him with incredible speed and aggression. Xu Shan, however, remained calm and focused.

Even before he broke through to the Heaven Realm, he wasn't scared of the Heaven Grade Beasts, let alone now that he had reached the Immortal Celestial Realm.

But still, to toy with the Assassins, he restricted his strength to the First Layer of Heavenly Celestial Realm, showing some struggle as he fought against the beasts.

As Xu Shan gracefully dodged their attacks, his movements were like flowing water, but it wasn't a speed that could shock the Assassins.

When Xu Shan was completely distracted by the beasts, the Assassins finally made a movement.

"Now!" The Assassins jumped forward, striking with their daggers.

However, as the Assassin's dagger was about to touch Xu Shan, he just disappeared.

"Huh?" The Assassin was stunned, but before he could react, the Beast leapt forward, tearing the distracted Assassin's head off.

Usually, the Beasts would have recognized the assassins, but Xu Shan had already made them go crazy in bloodlust as he corrupted their mind while fighting them.

Not just one assassin, but all the Assassins were attacked by the Beasts. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Even some who hadn't attacked Xu Shan and were watching from a distance had no choice but to enter the battle to save their friends.

Meanwhile Xu Shan simply watched from a distance like a spectator.

"I hope you all have a good time. I'll be taking my leave for now," Xu Shan called out, his voice reaching the assassins loud and clear.

The Assassins were furious, falling into a trap. Unfortunately, they couldn't show their backs to the beasts as that was no different than dying.

With their backs against each other, the assassins fought even harder, desperate to find an escape route amidst the chaos. Unfortunately, none of them realized that this was their last battle.

Not caring about the Assassins, Xu Shan went further into the Forbidden Forest. No trap, enchantment or assassin was able to stop him. Everyone who became an obstruction for him, ended up dead.

"You're saying that he isn't dead? How can you say that? We clearly saw you stabbing him and his body getting destroyed. Even an Immortal can survive an attack like that!"

In the Meeting Hall at the highest floor of the Shadow Hall, a meeting between the Nine Hall Masters was taking place. However the atmosphere was grim.

"I thought a lot about it. But it just felt too easy. It shouldn't have been that easy. I feel like something was wrong. That bastard can't die that easily!" The Ninth Hall Master Duan Mu spoke, his expressions grim.

He was the one assigned the task of killing Xu Shan. In fact, he chose that task personally because he wanted to kill Xu Shan personally.

He was a weak mortal, always bullied by his Clan Members. At that time, it was Xu Shan who offered him a hand. He even took Xu Shan to his home as a guest.

It wasn't wrong to say that Xu Shan saved his life. However, that's what he thought. It wasn't until he awakened his father's pendant that he realized the truth.

Inside the keepsake, there was a small world of its own, a world that could fasten the progress of a Celestial Warrior. But that wasn't all. There was also a Cat Spirit that was like a Senior to him, left by his father that he had never seen before.

That Cat Spirit had told him the reality that he had never known. The Cat Spirit told him that Xu Shan was evil and he was the reason behind the death of his mother.

The Cat Spirit also told him that the only reason Xu Shan acted like a nice person was because he knew about his Bloodline. That's why he made the slave seal.

The Cat Spirit broke the slave seal, freeing Duan Mu. From that moment on, Duan Mu had been dreaming of revenge.

He had been training in the Inner Space of his father's treasure, strengthening himself and awakening his Bloodline, albeit slowly. It was all because he wanted to have his revenge.

He even came to the Divine Realm in search of more opportunities, and slowly became a member of the Shadow Hall. From the position of an ordinary member, he had managed to become one of the Nine Hall Masters in six months.

He was not only the fastest to reach this position but also the youngest. He had earned the respect and admiration of his fellow members through his exceptional skill and strength.

As the youngest Nine Hall Master, he proved that age was no barrier to success in the Shadow Hall. However, he had never once forgotten his revenge. He wanted to wash his embarrassment through Xu Shan's blood.

The moment he found out that Xu Shan was also in the divine realm, he convinced the other Hall Masters to plan an assassination. He was also assigned the one to lead this assassination.

For that assassination, five out of the Nine Hall Masters had entered the Royal Capital where they observed the schedule of Xu Shan for four days before finally taking action on the fifth.
