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

halfway up the mountain

Shi Yu frowned slightly as she looked down at the people fleeing below.

"This rat is quite capable, but it's a pity it hasn't mastered its skills yet. Even so, it's impossible for Qin Huaiyu to catch up with it."

"Hmph, you got what you deserved!"

She snorted coldly, but her gaze still couldn't help but stay fixed on the other person. Looking at his anxious expression, she felt a little reluctant.

"Oh, I really owe you one!"

With that, she waved her hand, a gentle breeze stirred, and an invisible energy surged rapidly downwards.

The big black rat breathed a sigh of relief as it watched the distance between itself and its pursuers widen.

"Ha, it's that young master of the Qin family again. Just wait, daring to use my son to hurt me, I'll make you pay the price!"

Qin Huaiyu was familiar with him. Although he had been hiding in the shadows for many years, it was hard for him not to know these well-known people in the town.

He took another step, and it seemed he was about to escape.

Suddenly, the big black rat stopped in its tracks, its entire body slowing down abruptly, like a fast-moving horse whose reins had been pulled.

"not good!"

It felt its body sink, and the evil power circulating within it suddenly stopped, as if it had been sealed off.

"What happened?"

Qin Huaiyu looked at the slowing figure, puzzled, but he dared not think too much about it. The opportunity was fleeting, so he urged his Nightmare Power to hurry and catch up.

The big black rat was alarmed when it saw this.

"Hurry, hurry!"

The nightmare power started operating again.

But it was all too late.

It felt a strong wind whistling behind it, and a powerful energy enveloped it.

Before he could dodge, the next moment

"Bang"

A muffled thud.

Qin Huaiyu delivered an extremely domineering punch directly to its bleeding vest, striking while the iron was hot.

"puff"

The big black rat spat out a mouthful of blood and fell forward onto the ground.

Qin Huaiyu steadied himself and kicked the man over again.

"what!"

The big black rat cried out in pain, then glared angrily and said:

"Qin Huaiyu, we have no past grievances or present enemies. What do you want?"

"Oh, you recognize me!"

Qin Huaiyu's eyes turned cold. "You still dare to say you have no grievances? Don't think I don't know about your dealings with Yinling Temple. You've harmed more than a dozen lives in my Qin family, and you still want to control the entire Pingxing Town. How vicious you are."

Upon hearing this, the big black rat immediately realized what had happened, remembering that his son had been controlled. "That damned thing has brought trouble to me!"

"It wasn't me, it wasn't me............"

"You must have heard that I'm just a servant; everything was done by the people of Yinling Temple," he quickly explained.

What a clever thing! Its reaction was so fast!

Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but admire it. It wasn't hard to see that the black rat had already guessed the whole story, otherwise it wouldn't have been so pragmatic.

"Hmph, you're quite perceptive, but can you really distance yourself completely?"

As he spoke, he stomped his foot on the other man's chest and exerted force.

"Cough, cough!"

The big black rat's face immediately turned red, and bright red blood spilled from its mouth. It tried to struggle, but its injuries were too severe. In addition, Qin Huaiyu's cultivation level was already high, and the foot seemed to be crushing its chest cavity, making it impossible for it to move even an inch.

The fear of death spread through my heart.

"No...no...it's not my fault, Master forced me to do it!"

"Oh?"

Seeing that it was about time, Qin Huaiyu eased his grip and asked:

"I'll give you a chance. Tell me who the master is."

The big black rat took a breath and quickly said:

"Kongzhi, the abbot of Yinling Temple, it was him who sent people to kill your Qin family members."

It really is that old guy, with a face that's just asking for a beating. He's always chanting "Amitabha" and spouting nonsense about benevolence. What a load of rubbish!

Qin Huaiyu looked down on it, thought for a moment, and then continued:

"A couple of days ago, I raided a base in Beiyuan that was used to refine children. There were several monks there who were from Yinling Temple, and they were all Nightmare Devourers with extraordinary strength. Are all the people in the temple like that?"

He was the one who did the Kitahara incident...

The big black rat was startled, but quickly realized the key point.

No wonder they came to his son; it turns out the other party had been eyeing Yinling Temple for a long time and wanted to follow the clues to find out more.

The conflict between the two of them............

The more it thought about it, the more alarmed it became, and finally came to a conclusion.

This boy is a man of deep thoughts; he is truly an extraordinary individual!

You son of a bitch, you're truly my good son. If I could do it all over again, I would never have created such a thing as you, ruining my life!

It was filled with resentment, but dared not show it, and could only honestly answer:

"Yes, all the young monks in the temple are Nightmare Devourers trained by the master, except for three people: the master, the abbot, and an old monk whose Dharma name is Kongjie. They are all cultivators."

There were three of them, and there was one I'd never seen before.

Qin Huaiyu frowned slightly. "How strong are these three?"

"I only overheard Kong Zhi mention that Kong Hai and Kong Jie were both at the early stage of the Profound Pool Realm, as for him............"

The big black rat shook its head. "No one knows his exact level of cultivation; all that's known is that he's stronger than both of them!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Huaiyu frowned even more deeply. Although he had expected it, he still felt a sudden tightness in his heart when it was confirmed.

This old bald monk's cultivation is stronger than that of someone at the initial stage of the Profound Pool Realm, and his realm is clearly higher than mine. Although my combat strength is not bad and I can cross realms, if the gap is too big, I will only be able to offer myself up for death.

No, we have to think of a way.
