Chosen One, how did I end up as the villain?

Qin Huaiyu was startled and stopped abruptly, only to see the leader of the men in black making hand seals.

"go"

With a loud shout, the other four men in black, their eyes bloodshot, charged forward like wild beasts, their previous fear gone.

This is.......

Qin Huaiyu frowned deeply. He sensed a chilling energy fluctuation gathering around the four of them, a feeling akin to...

"Oh no, retreat quickly!"

As soon as the words fell, the four men in black seemed to be pulled and their bodies swelled up rapidly, their clothes bursting open in an instant.

They were like oversized balls, round and plump, with bulging blue veins that crisscrossed like a snake web, making one's scalp tingle.

"burst!"

The leader of the men in black shouted and then turned and ran.

The four who rushed up seemed to have reached a critical point; their bodies swelled up and they exploded like human bombs.

A powerful surge of energy immediately swept outwards.

The ground was ripped apart, soil was blown up and scattered in all directions, and nearby trees were instantly snapped in half and fell to the ground with a bang. The scene was quite horrifying.

Qin Huaiyu was closest and was immediately thrown out. The others were further away, and by the time the energy reached them, it was less than one-tenth of its original power.

Even so, it still made people unsteady on their feet and sway back and forth.

Fortunately, the process did not last long, ending in just a few breaths.

Once things calmed down, the scene was a complete mess, with signs of destruction everywhere. The spot where the four men in black had been was blasted into a deep crater, and the surrounding area was barren, resembling a wasteland.

"Cough, cough"

Qin Huaiyu coughed dryly, trying to calm the pent-up anger in his chest. Luckily, he had taken a few steps back and used his Nightmare Power to protect his body in time; otherwise, he would be badly injured, if not dead.

I knew I shouldn't talk too much; it not only wasted time, but almost killed me.

This leader is truly ruthless, actually betraying his accomplices to create an opportunity for him to escape. It really proves the saying that brothers are meant to be betrayed.

But how did he do it? If I wasn't mistaken, those four people were clearly out of their minds.

"Little brother, how are you?"

Just then, Yun Suyan ran over worriedly, her beautiful eyes scrutinizing him from head to toe.

"Sister Yun, don't worry, it's alright!"

Qin Huaiyu straightened his clothes and stood up. Just then, the old Taoist priest and Li Chengye also ran over.

"Brother Ba, thanks to you, otherwise I would be dead."

"Don't worry, Young Master Li, it won't happen. Isn't it said that good people don't live long, but evil people live for a thousand years? You can still live without me," Qin Huaiyu teased.

Li Chengye was taken aback. What did this mean? Was it a compliment or an insult?

Longevity is fine, but bad people...

"Brother Ba, wait a minute, I'm a good person!"

"Well, generally, people who can talk all claim to be good people."

Forehead?

Li Chengye was confused. Should I call him a good person or a bad person?

Qin Huaiyu rolled his eyes at him, then looked at the old Taoist priest.

"Master, thank you so much for what you did earlier. If you hadn't told me to stop, I'm afraid I would be no different from those men in black by now."

"You flatter me, sir. I just happened to figure it out."

The old Taoist priest frowned as he spoke:

"It's strange, why does that leader in black know our Taoist sect's mind control technique?"

"Mind control magic?"

"Young man, you may not know this, but the reason I asked you to stop earlier was because I saw that the hand seal that the man in black was forming was the secret technique of my Taoist sect, Spirit Control."

This technique involves using one's own blood as a medium to inscribe hidden divine symbols on another person's body, intending to obscure their consciousness, and then using hand seals to achieve the goal of controlling the other person.

"However, only direct disciples of my Taoist sect are qualified to learn this technique. How could the leader know it?" The old Taoist frowned even more deeply.

Taoist secret techniques, could it be...?

Qin Huaiyu considered a possibility and guessed:

"Master, could this matter be related to your missing junior brother?"

"Junior brother?"

The old Taoist priest shook his head firmly. "Impossible. My junior brother is an upright person. He would never pass on the secret techniques of our sect to outsiders, let alone to these ruthless villains."

After listening, Qin Huaiyu pondered for a moment and said:

"If it wasn't instruction, could it have been coercion or some other method?"

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist priest's eyes suddenly lit up. "Young man, you mean..."

Qin Huaiyu nodded. "Daoist Master, it seems that it will be difficult for us to separate this time."

"Haha, that's great! With you here, I'm even more confident!"

The old Taoist priest laughed loudly, "This kid is quite cunning. Fine, let him have his way."

"No, Brother Ba, Daoist Master, what are you saying? I don't understand a word you're saying!"

Li Chengye stood aside, looking completely bewildered, and asked.

The old Taoist priest's good mood was instantly ruined, and he glared at Li Chengye with annoyance.

"Hey kid, you're about the same age. If you had half the brains of this guy, you wouldn't be in this situation."

After saying that, he walked towards the carriage without looking back.

Li Chengye was even more confused. "Wait, what does Brother Ba mean?"

"Oh, Young Master Li, take care!" Qin Huaiyu shook his head and followed.

...It doesn't mean anything," Li Chengye looked at the only remaining Yun Suyan with some frustration.
