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

"With this old fellow around, things here are going to be difficult," Yun Suyan said tactfully.

It's said to be difficult, but everyone understands the underlying meaning.

After all, the old man's strength at the fourth realm is no joke; if things go wrong, everyone could be doomed.

Even though Qin Huaiyu himself possessed cross-border strength, he dared not arrogantly believe that he could fight the old man.

That's a difference of two major realms, which can't be compensated for by so-called combat experience or the special power of nightmares.

Is this the foundation of a great family? If so, wouldn't the other two families also have figures of equal skill? Otherwise, how could Jian'an be one of the three great families...?

Qin Huaiyu felt a headache coming on at the thought of this. He was really like a child in a well, seeing only a glimpse of the sky and thinking he had seen the whole sky.

This is really a difficult situation.

Chu Yanxi frowned and said:

"What exactly is the Yan family planning to do? Why are they still letting that old monster oversee things?"

No sooner had these words been uttered than commotion broke out below.

Yan Jing spoke very respectfully:

"Ancestor, how are you doing lately?"

Yan Tongfei narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression cold as he said:

"What's wrong? Are you in a hurry?"

"...No, no, I just noticed that the blood energy of the fierce formation is weakening, and I wonder if we need to bring more people."

Yan Jing spoke with a fawning expression while carefully observing the old ancestor's face.

Everyone says that elders are close to younger generations, but what's wrong with my family? This old man is not only not close, but he never gives me a kind look every time we meet. His words are always sarcastic and cutting, as if he wants to choke me to death. He clearly dislikes me.

What, you're still not satisfied with your own offspring? I may be a grandson, but you can't expect me to be a real grandson!

"snort"

Yan Tongfei gave a soft snort, a hint of coldness in his eyes, and said:

"Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You just want to get into the Ancient Burial Grounds as soon as possible, right? Don't worry, the spatial barrier will break down in a few days, and you'll be included then. After all, you're a genius of the Yan family!"

As he spoke the last few words, a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips.

"Ancient Burial Ground!"

The three people on the treetop were shocked, and a surge of emotions welled up inside them.

Seemingly uncertain, they each looked at the other two.

Seeing their expressions change, the three of them were certain they hadn't misheard.

Qin Huaiyu mechanically withdrew his gaze; he hadn't expected his bold guess to actually be true.

It really is an ancient place. Indeed, there is only one truth, no matter how unbelievable it may seem.

It turns out that everything was traceable. First, there was one ear, then the blood corpse. These ancient things have already proven the mystery.

Even the black fog was probably caused by it, otherwise it wouldn't have had such a large impact.

Thinking about it this way, it's no wonder that the Yan family would attach great importance to and plan such a big scheme. They simply wanted to deceive the major powers, privatize the ancient land, and search for treasure on their own.

That's an ancient battlefield, a place that any power would covet.

Ancient artifacts, ancient techniques, rare treasures, and even great opportunities—which cultivator wouldn't want to obtain them?

Even Qin Huaiyu himself couldn't help but waver in his resolve, his greed taking hold.

But that's all. He's greedy in moderation, and he will never become like the Yan family because of it.

Disregarding human ethics and humanity, they used the blood and energy of ten thousand people to break through the wall.

Rather than doing that, it's better not to have this treasure. After all, as human beings, we should stay true to ourselves.

certainly………

Now that things are settled, and we've already gotten involved, we might as well go ahead and do the treasure hunt.

This can be considered acting on behalf of Heaven.

I'm a good person, but not for my own sake...

Chu Yanxi's beautiful eyes gleamed with a strange light; it seemed she had made the right bet.

She had suspected that One-Ear might be from the ancient land when she first heard about it, which is why she followed Qin Huaiyu to investigate the case.

First, she is very interested in people and wants to make friends.

Second, we can check whether there really is an ancient site here.

Encountering the blood corpse only deepened their suspicions.

That's why this trip to Mangdang came about.

When the whole case in Shiming Village was exposed, she had given up all hope, but unexpectedly, a glimmer of hope appeared.

How could I not be happy!

We really have to thank Huaiyu, otherwise we would have missed out on such a treasure.

However, the Yan family is truly hateful. They have even broken through space with their blood and dared to try to seize the ancient land. They are truly inhuman and disregard the law!

How despicable! They will pay the price!

Compared to the two, Yun Suyan appeared rather calm. Although she was also pleased, she was more concerned with her feelings.

Judging from the old man's words, it will take several more days to break through the spatial barrier.

Right now, we probably can't pose a threat to the Yan family on our own. If we are discovered, we might even be in danger.

We must find an opportunity to go out and seek help. My building is not in Jian'an, and even if we send the message back, it will be too late. I'm afraid we will miss this opportunity.

It seems that the only option now is to rely on the prefecture. Rather than letting other forces benefit, it would be better to let the Chu family profit, which would also be considered as making good relations with the King of Chu.

Each of the three had their own thoughts.

However, the conversation below continued.

"Yes, yes, it was my fault. Our ancestor is truly wise. I shouldn't have tried to show off my limited skills before an expert."

Yan Jing hurriedly admitted his mistake, but inwardly he cursed him.
