Transmigrated Villain: Starting by Removing the Female Lead's Supreme Bone

For several days, the three of them traveled non-stop and finally arrived outside the ancient city.

Looking out, the ancient city soars into the clouds, its grandeur magnificent.

The city walls were covered with a dense array of formations and runes.

Clearly, this ancient city is no ordinary place.

"This is it. The descendants of the leaders of the five major sects live in this ancient city."

Lin Yan said in a deep voice, his gaze sweeping over the entire ancient city.

Su He immediately gripped the long sword at his waist.

"Let's go into the city. Let's visit those descendants of the sect leaders and see what they can tell us."

The three strode toward the city gate, but were stopped by the guards just as they were about to enter.

"Who goes there? State your name!"

The leading guard had sharp eyes and an imposing presence.

Clearly, his cultivation level was extraordinary.

Su He stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "I am Su He, this is Lin Yan, the chief disciple of Tianxuan Sect, and this is Ni Chang, the Holy Maiden of Tianyin Pavilion."

"We have come to visit the descendants of the leaders of the five major sects. We hope that you will make way for us, Guardian."

Upon hearing this, the guard's expression hardened, and he looked the three of them up and down.

After a moment, he slowly nodded.

"So you are distinguished guests from the Sword Sect and the Heavenly Profound Sect. In that case, I will show you the way."

"However, before we meet the descendants of the sect leader, I must give the three of you a piece of advice."

The guard paused, his gaze becoming extremely solemn.

"Those descendants of sect leaders are of extraordinary status. Their every word and action concerns the safety of all living beings."

"If the three of you have any requests, remember to be careful with your words and actions. Do not offend them!"

This advice is by no means alarmist.

It seems that those descendants of sect leaders are indeed extraordinary.

The three followed the guards into the ancient city.

The city is filled with buildings and crisscrossed by roads.

The cultivators coming and going everywhere all had solemn expressions and extraordinary appearances.

"Could these cultivators be disciples of the five major sects?"

The guard nodded respectfully.

"Indeed. This ancient city was once the stronghold of the five major sects."

"Most of the cultivators here are direct disciples of the five major sects. Each of them possesses extraordinary cultivation and can be considered a top-tier individual."

Su He and Lin Yan nodded secretly upon hearing this.

It seems that the strength of these five major sects back then was indeed well-deserved.

No wonder they were able to join forces and seal the Demon King.

The group passed through numerous buildings and arrived at a magnificent palace.

The palace soared into the clouds, its grandeur magnificent.

Two stone lions stand in front of the gate, majestic and solemn, as if guarding the peace of this palace.

"This is the residence of the five sect leaders. Distinguished guests, please follow me."

The guard said respectfully, and then led the way up the palace steps.

Su He and the others followed behind, feeling uneasy.

The upcoming meeting will determine the success or failure of the entire plan.

Inside the palace, five elderly men sat upright in the main hall.

They had white hair and beards, deep eyes, and an aura of majesty surrounding them.

Clearly, these five elders are descendants of the sect leaders of the five major sects.

"Greetings to the Five Sect Masters!"

The guard bowed respectfully and said...

"Su He of the Sword Gate Sect, Lin Yan of the Heavenly Profound Sect, and Ni Chang of the Heavenly Sound Pavilion request an audience with the five sect leaders."

Upon hearing this, the five elders all turned their gazes to the three of them.

After a moment, the elderly man at the head of the group slowly spoke.

"You three, are you here because of the Demon King?"

Su He bowed and said, "That's right. I've come here to inquire about the process of sealing the Demon King back then."

"I humbly request the five sect leaders to offer their guidance."

The old man's gaze also became profound.

"Back then, when the Demon King ravaged the human world, our ancestors from the five major sects joined forces to seal him away."

"That battle was earth-shattering, and it almost destroyed half of the martial arts world."

"Finally, with the combined efforts of our five major sects, the Demon King was finally suppressed. But his soul was exceptionally tenacious."

"Our ancestors had no choice but to divide the Demon King's soul into five parts and seal them in five secret locations."

"Only by finding and destroying all five souls can the threat of the Demon King be completely eradicated."

Su He and the others were shocked when they heard this.

They never imagined that sealing it back then would be so difficult.

The ancestors of the five major sects truly exhausted all their efforts to suppress the Demon King.

"May I ask the five sect leaders, where are those five secret locations?"

Another old man sighed and slowly said, "The locations of the five secret sites are all recorded in an ancient book."

"That ancient book was originally jointly kept by our five major sects. But a hundred years ago, it disappeared in an unexpected event."

Even now, we still don't know who has it in their hands.

Unexpectedly, this lead went cold again.

"That...that ancient book, does it have any special markings? Or is there any way we can find it?"

The old man shook his head upon hearing this.

"That ancient book has no special markings. Finding it is like finding a needle in a haystack."

"However, I did hear my ancestor mention that the ancient book seemed to have some connection with one of the Demon King's magical artifacts."

"That magical artifact is called the Soul-Devouring Mirror. It is the Demon King's most prized possession, possessing the terrifying power to devour souls."

"Our ancestor once said that if we could find the Soul-Devouring Mirror, we might be able to follow the clues and find the whereabouts of that ancient book."

Upon hearing this, Su He and the others immediately perked up.

"The Soul-Devouring Mirror? That magical artifact...we seem to have seen it before!"

Lin Yan suddenly spoke, his eyes gleaming.

"Among the ruins we explored earlier, we discovered a broken ancient mirror. The mirror's surface was covered with strange patterns."

"Could that ancient mirror be the Soul-Devouring Mirror?"

Upon hearing this, the old man's expression brightened.

"Is this true? Quickly, bring that ancient mirror here so we can see it!"

Su He quickly took out the lenses from his pocket.

Five elderly men stepped forward and examined the object closely.

A moment later, their faces lit up with joy.

"Indeed, this is a fragment of the Soul-Devouring Mirror! Although it's broken, the evil aura it exudes is unmistakable!"

"Heaven is helping us! With these few fragments, we're one step closer to breaking the Demon King's seal!"

Su He and the others were overjoyed and repeatedly thanked the five elders.

"Thank you for your guidance, five sect leaders! With this clue, we will definitely find that ancient book and uncover the secrets of the Demon King's seal!"

The five elders nodded and said earnestly, "The three of you bear heavy responsibilities and must act with caution."

"The seal on the Demon King concerns the safety of the world. If anything goes wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"These fragments of the Soul-Devouring Mirror are temporarily entrusted to your safekeeping. Remember, they must not be lost."

Su He and the others bowed and accepted the order, carefully putting the lens into their pockets.

Leaving the ancient city, Su He, Ni Chang, and Lin Yan embarked on a new round of searching.
