This Is What a Villain Is Like

Chapter 197: Chapter 98: He Can Bully, But Others Cannot, Destined to Reach the Summit and Look Down on All

Many years ago, to quell some rebellious Immortal Sects, the current Prime Minister of the Great Xia personally mobilized the Qian Lei Ship.

Wherever it passed, it was like a world-ending weapon. The Sects and Dao Lineages it annihilated were left without even ruins or rubble.

The entire Purple Mist Mountain Range rumbled and steamed. The boundless purple mist surged and roiled like a boiling lake.

The instant the lightning struck, the surrounding mountain ranges could be seen collapsing and shattering.

Vast swathes of purple mist were vaporized, and a surge of energy exploded, looking as if the very ground was being overturned.

After this strike, the Qian Lei Ship once again gathered lightning. A dazzling, brilliant pillar of light reappeared, shooting toward the heavens like a thunder dragon, threatening to tear the sky and earth asunder.

BOOM!!!

A terrifying shockwave spread out, destroying everything in its path with unstoppable force.

The entire region where the Purple Mist Mountain Range was located shook violently. Vast mountain ranges instantly crumbled and exploded, and great fissures stretching for dozens of miles appeared on the ground.

In the face of such tyrannical and terrifying power, any and all Arrays were instantly obliterated. Even the Mountain Protection Arrays of the major Immortal Sects couldn’t have resisted it for long.

And just as the various Immortal Sects outside Purple Mist Mountain were trying to blast through the Array to rescue the young Celestial Prides, the scene within the Secret Realm was also changing dramatically.

With a CRACKLING sound, fine fissures began to appear in the sky, making it look like a shattered mirror. A heart-stopping aura emanated from them.

It was as if a massive earthquake had struck. The aftershocks, though buffered by the Secret Realm’s barrier, still penetrated, causing the ground to crack open and mountains to collapse.

Many cultivators turned pale with terror, their legs growing weak and unsteady.

"The Immortal Sects outside must be taking action! They’re trying to force open the Secret Realm to let us out..."

"We don’t have to worry about the Blood Immortal Sect’s plot succeeding. We’re saved!"

Many of the young cultivators were pleasantly surprised, guessing what was happening in the outside world.

The Secret Realm was instantly thrown into chaos. Streaks of light shot toward the entrance.

Whether they were Loose Cultivators or young Disciples from the great sects, everyone rushed for the exit at once. The place had already been picked clean; any opportunities to be had were already taken.

Last night, the cavern-abode of the Purple Mist True Monarch had emerged from deep within the proving grounds, triggering another great battle, but many had also reaped great rewards.

Now, with members of the Blood Immortal Sect lurking here, no one wanted to stay any longer and become their target.

"This is great! The Sect must be taking action to save us..."

"I don’t want to stay in this damned Secret Realm for a second longer! I didn’t get anything, suffered heavy losses, and almost died here myself."

Qi Heng, Zhu Huang, and the others were ecstatic.

After last night’s fierce battles, they had lost even more of their subordinates. If they stayed here any longer, they might well follow in the footsteps of Han Yiming and his group.

Seeing the world-shaking commotion coming from outside the Secret Realm, they were naturally overjoyed and immediately led their many subordinates toward it.

’The Sects outside must be breaking the Array to rescue everyone... You can use this chance to get away. Otherwise, once the Observatory starts its investigation, you’ll be in big trouble. Even if you’re innocent, the people from the Observatory won’t care about that.’

Ye Ming, who was quietly healing his injuries inside a cave, heard the commotion outside and got up to investigate.

Although it was the Old Ghost’s fault that Ling Zhuyun had misunderstood him, he didn’t hold a grudge. After all, he would still need the Old Ghost’s help in the future.

’This is the perfect chance to try out the Fetus Transformation Skill I acquired,’ Ye Ming thought. ’From now on, I can’t use the name Ye Ming anymore. But I can use this to change my face...’

Ye Ming silently watched the situation outside. Streaks of light, silhouettes of cultivators, flew past overhead and quickly disappeared.

The Fetus Transformation Skill was a life-saving Secret Skill he had obtained by accident, but it could only be used once.

’I’ve suppressed the Blood Infant Skill for now, but if I don’t neutralize it soon, I’ll be exposed again the moment that Zixia Daoist senses me. It’s a constant hidden danger.’

He lay in wait, searching for a target. After spotting a young cultivator traveling alone, he noted the Token hanging from the man’s waist, struck immediately, and brought him back to the cave unconscious.

’An Inner Sect Disciple of Yijian Palace named Zhang Yuan. From now on, I am him.’

After figuring out the man’s origin and identity,

Ye Ming didn’t hesitate for long. He performed the Fetus Transformation Skill. A cold, eerie light flickered and enveloped the man.

At the same time, the eerie light also covered him.

Soon, his face and limbs began to change, transforming into the likeness of the Yijian Palace disciple before him.

Even his Divine Soul’s aura became identical. Furthermore, the disciple’s relevant memories appeared in his mind, ensuring his new identity would not be exposed.

Meanwhile, the Yijian Palace disciple transformed into Ye Ming’s original appearance and remained unconscious...

Ye Ming didn’t kill him. He only erased the man’s original memories, intending to use him to misdirect anyone who might be looking.

Then, he transformed into a streak of sword light and left the cave.

The Fetus Transformation Skill could simulate a Divine Soul’s aura, but it couldn’t change the Divine Soul itself. In essence, he was still Ye Ming.

If he encountered a powerful cultivator who directly probed his Divine Soul, his true identity might still be revealed.

Therefore, he planned to find something after leaving the Secret Realm to disguise his own aura and ensure his cover was perfect.

Meanwhile, Chu Chan, who was deep within the proving grounds, had also regrouped with the other disciples of the Jasper Pool Sect and was rushing toward the Secret Realm’s entrance.
