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

On the street

The crows and magpies were silent; for a moment, it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The Xuan Yuan Sect members stood frozen in place, their eyes fixed on the two corpses on the ground.

They died like that?

Not only them, but even Liu Yun was momentarily stunned.

Am I so powerful that I could die in one hit?

...How is that possible!

He quickly realized something was wrong and looked sharply towards the window.

"Come out, you charlatan!"

upstairs

Qin Huaiyu pursed his lips, as expected.

Ci Ning shook her head; what was bound to happen had finally happened.

Whether following this guy will be a blessing or a curse remains to be seen.

Let's go!

After saying that, Qin Huaiyu jumped out of the window first.

Seeing this, Ci Ning had no choice but to follow closely behind.

After the two landed.

The other members of the Xuan Yun Sect suddenly shrank their eyes and became wary.

They never expected that there were other people in the area.

Liu Yun narrowed his eyes and sized up the two. The man was handsome and the woman was pretty; they were a perfect couple.

"Did you lay a hand on these two?"

He frowned slightly as he looked at Qin Huaiyu.

Qin Huaiyu nodded and said bluntly:

"Just trying to protect myself."

As he spoke, he pointed to Qiao Bai and Cui Dongshan and continued:

"These two intended to do something indecent to us, and we were just doing it along the way. Please forgive us if we have offended them."

Misconduct?

Liu Yun's expression remained unchanged, but inwardly he was thinking, "These two were clearly trying to ambush me. How can I possibly do anything to them?"

All four were on the second floor, so they obviously knew each other.

But attacking from behind is clearly a backstabbing.

However, to be able to so easily defeat two cultivators at the second level, one's strength must not be low.

Thinking of this, he changed his mind and, without exposing the truth, said:

"You're too kind. Although it's inconvenient, it's nothing serious. I see that you two have extraordinary bearing, so I'd like to ask your names and teachers."

Ha, quite cautious!

Qin Huaiyu remained expressionless and said:

"You flatter me. I am Qin Huaiyu, a mere rogue cultivator, without any sect or faction."

You're really daring, not even bothering to lie anymore. Looks like you really don't intend to let this go.

Ci Ning had no choice but to tell the truth:

"Ci Ning, a wandering cultivator!"

"oh!"

Liu Yun thought carefully, but he couldn't recall either of these two people.

It seems I was overthinking it. Anyone who would befriend those two scoundrels on the ground could not possibly be a prodigy.

Besides, how could a genius be so amiable? They're all as imposing as I am.

He breathed a sigh of relief, then changed the subject, saying coldly:

"Since you're both rogue cultivators, you must be in cahoots. You must also know about the Soul Spring. Could I presume you're fighting over the spoils and thus kill you?"

The people behind him were dumbfounded upon hearing this; they couldn't believe they could do something like that.

Should we try diplomacy first, then resort to force?

Qin Huaiyu was speechless. How realistic! Even the excuses they came up with were so lame.

"What Soul Spring? I don't understand, but it seems you're trying to force this upon us," he said.

Liu Yun grinned and said coldly:

"What's wrong with imposing your will? Since you've gotten involved, you should be prepared to pay the price. Of course, if you want us to let you go, that's not impossible."

As he spoke, a look of greed appeared on his face.

Qin Huaiyu understood and said:

"What are the conditions?"

"Open your divine senses and let me investigate. If there is no Soul Spring, it will prove your innocence."

Qin Huaiyu laughed in anger. They really dared to say anything. Opening one's divine sense was tantamount to surrendering one's consciousness. If one was not careful, one would die and perish.

This is both greedy and deadly!

It seems that the feud with Xuan Yuan Sect cannot be avoided today.

He ignored Liu Yun, looked at Ci Ning, and said:

"Are all the people in the sect, including the Three Sons of Xuan Yuan, so shameless? Don't they even have a bottom line? With such dead fish faces, how dare they fawn over us and ask us to open our divine senses? Did their mothers bump their heads on the ground when they gave birth to them?!"

Upon hearing this, Ci Ning initially looked panicked, but eventually couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Um, sorry, I couldn't help myself!"

She delivered another vicious blow.

However, it was this one sentence that caused the other members of the Xuan Yuan Sect to break down their defenses.

"Pfft, pfft"

Laughter erupted one after another.

…I just couldn’t help it.

The group was somewhat relieved that they hadn't stood out earlier.

Otherwise you'll just be asking for trouble!

That person has such a sharp tongue!

As for Liu Yun, the protagonist, his face was now as red-hot as a branding iron, his features twisted into a grimace.

As one of the three disciples of Xuan Yuan, even the elders had to show him some respect. When had he ever suffered such humiliation?

"Shut up!"

He shouted loudly, and his aura surged, with crimson light shooting into the sky.

"You're asking for it!"

Having said that, Liu Yun's eyes turned bloodshot, and he charged out in a rage.

With such a petty temper, you're not even as good as a dog!

Qin Huaiyu's gaze turned cold instantly, his blood surged, and his heart pounded like a drum.

next moment

He shot out like a cannonball.

A punch is thrown.

Without any fancy moves, he directly clashed with the crimson figure.

There was a loud "bang".

The ground trembled, and the stone pavement beneath their feet instantly crumbled.

"What an incredibly strong physical body!"

In just a moment, Liu Yun's eyes became clear.

His palm throbbed with pain, and he involuntarily took a step back.

Qin Huaiyu finished his stance, his hands feeling slightly numb.

As expected of one of the three, although he is not a very good person, he is quite strong. He probably has the strength of the late stage of the second realm.

However, that's still not enough.

"Again!" he said absentmindedly.

"Arrogant!"

Liu Yun boasted, but he dared not be arrogant anymore. With a thought, an ancient longsword appeared in his hand.
