Villain: Her Imagination Makes Me Invincible

Chapter 74: How Capable is He?

The overall strength of the Demon Sect was incredibly formidable.

Among the top-tier powers were indeed the Twelve Heavenly Demons, but the other high-ranking members weren’t weak either.

For example, the Grand Master of the Thirty-Six Demon Palaces!

The Grand Master possessed power comparable to the strongest of the Twelve Heavenly Demons.

In summary, while the Twelve Heavenly Demons had relatively balanced combat strength, the rest of the sect’s divisions weren’t necessarily weaker than them.

In the past, the father of Ling Xue had a deep relationship with the Grand Master of the Thirty-Six Demon Palaces.

He entrusted the Dragon Taming Canon—which had been stolen from the Dragon Clan—to the Grand Master.

However, the Grand Master fell seriously ill due to an accident, and, ultimately, the other thirty-five palace masters conspired to usurp him.

From that point onward, the Thirty-Six Demon Palaces betrayed the Demon Sect.

The Grand Master, in a final act to protect his daughter, passed the Dragon Taming Canon to her.

As long as the Dragon Taming Canon remained in her possession, the other thirty-five palace masters would never kill her.

To this day, they have still failed to obtain the Dragon Taming Canon.

The Dragon Taming Canon was still with the Grand Master’s daughter, Lan Yue’er.

“Back then, I knew something was off. The Grand Master and your father were as close as siblings. How could he have betrayed the Demon Sect?”

Yan Kui spoke slowly, “It turns out it was the work of those rats beneath him!”

“I never expected such a story!”

Yu Yaoyao said softly, “If that’s the case, then that little girl Yue’er must indeed stay alive!”

“The Dragon Taming Canon? That’s quite the treasure!”

At that moment, Qing’er also spoke up:

“I never thought that thing wasn’t in the possession of the Dragon Clan!”

She knew of the Dragon Taming Canon.

It was a forbidden tome of the Dragon Clan.

Anyone who obtained it could control the entire Dragon Clan.

All beings with Dragon Clan blood could be enslaved and turned into servants.

This book was the greatest shame of the Dragon Clan.

Yet, it was also indestructible!

Thus, from ancient times, the Dragon Clan had sealed the book away.

Who could have imagined that the Demon Sect had acquired it?

The Demon Sect, it seemed, had never been weak!

What Qing’er didn’t know was that it was precisely because Ling Xue’s father had stolen the Dragon Taming Canon that he had earned the eternal enmity of the Dragon Clan.

Of course, the Dragon Clan had no idea that the Dragon Taming Canon was now in the possession of the Thirty-Six Celestial Palaces.

The Dragon Clan still believed it remained with the Demon Sect.

“If the Dragon Clan were to learn that the Dragon Taming Canon is with the Thirty-Six Celestial Palaces, they would never spare them!”

Xiao Xiangyu spoke up, “Why don’t we tell the Dragon Clan and let them fight each other to the death?”

However, Ling Xue let out a cold laugh:

“Traitors of the Demon Sect should be executed by the Demon Sect itself! There’s no need for them to fight!”

It wasn’t that their strengths were comparable.

There was no need for them to struggle.

Whether they fought or not was irrelevant. Even if they joined forces, the Demon Sect wouldn’t take them seriously.

What Ling Xue wanted was to personally execute those traitors!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiangyu nodded in agreement.

Cleansing the sect of traitors was something that should be done by the Demon Sect itself.

“Since we’ve given the Thirty-Six Celestial Palaces ten days before our attack on the Tai Xuan Empire, they must have made full preparations!”

Bai Tu’s raspy voice broke the silence.

Ling Xue merely smiled.

What could they possibly prepare for?

Aside from running, what else could they do?

“What preparation? Their only plan is to flee to the Flaming Sun Canyon,” Ling Xue said calmly.

“Flaming Sun Canyon? Isn’t the Thirty-Six Celestial Palaces located on Blue Cloud Celestial Island?” Yu Yaoyao asked, confused.

“They have already made their preparations, and those preparations involve hiding in Flaming Sun Canyon!”

Ling Xue replied nonchalantly.

“There exists a natural barrier in that place. They believe that by hiding there, they can avoid death.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Yaoyao and the others exchanged glances.

Such a thing?

But how did Ling Xue know all of this?

How does he know everything? How much power does he truly possess?

Since he said so, then naturally, they would act accordingly.

Prepare, and advance toward Flaming Sun Canyon!

……

Flaming Sun Canyon had always been an uninhabited land.

But a few years ago, the people of the Thirty-Six Celestial Palaces stumbled upon it by accident and discovered an immense natural barrier there.

This barrier could withstand attacks from those in the Extremely Martial Realm and was extraordinarily powerful.

Thus, it became a secret stronghold of the Thirty-Six Celestial Palaces.

Currently, Ling Xue has already obliterated the Tai Xuan Empire.

There were no survivors, not a single one!

The Thirty-Six Celestial Palaces knew very well that if they didn’t come up with a plan, they would meet the same fate as the Tai Xuan Empire.

But they had no solution.

Previously, the ancient leader of the Qianling Clan had offered spirit pearls and his daughter as gifts to Ling Xue in exchange for peace.

But the Thirty-Six Celestial Palaces were different.

They were traitors to the Demon Sect. They knew that no matter what grand gift they offered, Ling Xue would never spare them.

They couldn’t win in a fight, and pleading was futile.

So, they were left with only one option.

Run!

Thus, a few days ago, the entire Thirty-Six Celestial Palaces moved to Flaming Sun Canyon.

Firstly, the place was naturally hidden.

Secondly, the massive barrier surrounding the area ensured their safety.

From the outside, it looked like a desolate canyon filled with an empty, desolate forest.

But in truth, this was merely the illusion created by the barrier.

Inside the barrier, it was a whole new world.

A new land!

It was vast and rich in resources, enough to sustain the people of the Thirty-Six Celestial Palaces for the rest of their lives.

Here, it was like an untouched paradise known to no one.

Hiding forever wasn’t a real solution!

But for now, it was their only choice.

If they wanted to survive, they had to hide in this hidden paradise.

At this moment, on the edge of a pavilion within this paradise, a young girl stood quietly.

The girl’s appearance was delicate and pure, her long dark blue hair and flowing blue dress swaying in the breeze.

Her clear, beautiful eyes gazed out at the new stronghold of the Thirty-Six Celestial Palaces with a contemplative expression.

On her fair, delicate face was a mixture of vulnerability and strength.

She seemed fragile, being a young girl with no one to rely on, having been forcibly imprisoned by the Thirty-Six Celestial Palaces for a long time.

Yet, there was also an undeniable resilience in her.

She had never handed over the Dragon Taming Canon, always remembering her mother’s dying words.

This girl was none other than the daughter of the former Grand Master of the Thirty-Six Demon Palaces.

Lan Yue’er!

Her mother hadn’t betrayed the Demon Sect, and neither had she.

Yet, both of them were labeled as traitors!

They were forever trapped with the people of the Thirty-Six Celestial Palaces.

Before her death, her mother had told her, No matter what happens, no matter what they do, you must never give them the Dragon Taming Canon.

It is your only hope for survival.

You must live. Live to avenge me, to clear our names.

Live and return to the Demon Sect to tell everyone that we did not betray them.

Tell everyone… that we are innocent!
