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

Read Chapter 257, "Movements of All Parties," now to begin today's exciting content.

Inside the castle

It was supposed to be a time for rest, but the streets were bustling with traffic and people.

Upon closer inspection, most of them are quite remarkable, some with steady and powerful strides, others with refined demeanor, and still others with robust and imposing physiques, and so on.

They are ultimately different from ordinary people.

"Something's not right today. It's one thing that there are a lot of people, but why do they all look so intimidating?" a stall owner asked curiously.

"Shh!"

A pretty woman at the nearby stall looked around, and seeing no one was watching, whispered:

"Old Huang, have you ever heard of spiritual cultivation?"

"What kind of spiritual practice? Like that old monk outside the city?"

"Get lost! That old monk keeps running off to the nunnery next door. What kind of spiritual practice is that? I'm talking about the kind that shines, the kind that can go to heaven and earth!"

"Isn't that an immortal? Widow Li, don't talk nonsense, I don't believe it."

"No, why don't you believe me? My relative works in the government office, and he said that there really are immortals in this world, and quite a few of them. They call those people cultivators."

"real?"

"Given our relationship, would I lie to you?"

"So, you mean these people?"

Widow Li nodded and said:

"It should be right. You must behave yourself today and don't offend anyone."

Old Huang quickly shook his head, "No, I wouldn't dare. But speaking of which, I've never seen them before. What are they up to, appearing so suddenly like this?"

"Who knows? These people's affairs are none of our business. Let's just focus on our own things."

As she spoke, Widow Li leaned forward with her voluptuous figure.

Is your wife here tonight?

Lee House

Southeast, Xuanyuan

The name "一车一干" (yī chē yī gān) means to ride a horse, or to whip it, and to be carefree and happy.

Li Chengye lay on a recliner in the courtyard, rocking back and forth.

He closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, stroking a tabby cat in his arms.

It seemed very comfortable; the cat looked quite content.

"Tap, tap"

Footsteps sounded outside the door, and Chen Zhi followed him in.

The recliner stopped, seemingly annoyed at being disturbed, and the cat glanced at the person who had come.

"Young Master, something urgent has happened!"

Li Chengye slowly opened his eyes, and after regaining his senses, he looked at Chen Zhi and said:

"What's wrong? What's my good brother up to now?"

"no!"

Chen Zhi said with a serious expression:

"Ancient land has appeared!"

"Ancient Land!"

Li Chengye's expression suddenly changed, and then he grabbed hard with his hand.

"Meow"

The tabby cat let out a piercing scream.

Upon hearing this, he seemed to realize something was wrong, quickly released his grip, composed himself, and said:

"What ancient land?"

...Um, why is Young Master acting so strangely?

Chen Zhi was suspicious, but still answered honestly:

"This is the legendary ancient burial ground!"

Li Chengye raised an eyebrow and said:

"How is that possible? Wasn't he already gone? Where did this news come from?"

"The news has spread throughout the city, and almost all cultivators know about it. Large numbers are preparing to go there."

Li Chengye frowned slightly, feeling somewhat uneasy, and said:

"Where can we confirm the information is accurate?"

"In the heart of Mangdang Mountain, there is a mountain stream."

Chen Zhi paused for a moment, then continued:

"The source of the information has not yet been identified, but it is likely true; otherwise, a large number of cultivators would not have gathered there."

Li Cheng's heart finally settled down, and his brows furrowed even deeper.

"Father, what decision will you make?"

He knew very well that his father, given his personality, would never miss such a great opportunity.

It's likely that the "big brother" is using this opportunity to strengthen his power.

"The clan leader has already gone to invite the ancestor, and also instructed us to inform each branch to gather in the front hall this afternoon and take the Xuanzhou boat to Mangdang," Chen Zhi said.

Alright, they've even brought out the Xuanzhou. It seems they're determined to win.

Li Chengye tried his best to control his emotions and said:

"Any news about the other two families?"

...What's wrong with the young master? He doesn't care about his own family, but he's concerned about the other two families.

Chen Zhi was puzzled, but he didn't show it.

He shook his head and said:

"I don't know. With the ancient lands as examples, no one cares about them anymore in this situation."

Young master, you'd better hurry up and prepare, lest you miss this opportunity.

Seeing that the matter was already settled, Li Chengye had no other choice.

He stood up helplessly. "Alright, I got it, Brother Zhi. Do me a favor while we still have time."

Chen Zhi was puzzled.

"Go to No. 1, Qingse Road and give me a message: the rooster has come out, hurry!"

鸡？

Chen Zhi was taken aback. What did that mean?

But clearly, Li Chengye had no intention of explaining to him.

Seeing this, Chen Zhi had no choice but to agree and quickly left the hospital.

Watching the disappearing figure, Li Chengye's face suddenly darkened.

The bull-faced man's appearance revealed a ferocious look.

What went wrong? How could this happen?

After a moment of silence, as if he had thought of something, he raised his head and looked in one direction.

Could it be...?

.........

Qingfengfang

Even in broad daylight, there was still singing and dancing, and a scene of wine and meat.

It's as if everything is cut off here; no matter how tense the situation is outside, the people inside feel nothing at all.

Laughter and chatter filled the air, people struck poses, and everyone was working together.

However, there is one exception.

Fifth floor

Liu Mingyue, dressed in a tight-fitting long dress embroidered with clouds and wearing tall cloud-patterned boots, stood by the railing.

Her graceful figure, coupled with her stunningly beautiful yet somewhat aloof face, is like a pleasing painting.

It is beautiful to behold, but not to be trifled with!

Qing'er stood to one side; the little girl was still so pretty and charming, even more so than the girl next door.

"Miss, a large number of cultivators in the city are already heading towards Mangdang. When would you like us to set off?"

"No rush. How's the matter I asked you to investigate?"
