Forced to Be a Villain: Starting With My Brain Extraction System

The Eastern Spirit Plain of the Azure Star Continent was very vast, and the Verdant Peak that was occupied by the Divine Cauldron Sect was only one of the second-tier sects in this vast land.

In fact, besides sects, the vast majority of the land was governed by the Empire and the Kingdoms, with countless mortals inside.

Of course, ultimately, those empires also came under the sect. And the Mo Clan that was located in the west of the Clear Sky Empire came under the Divine Cauldron Sect's sphere of influence.

Although it was the clan of the protagonist, the strongest person in the clan was just at the middle stage of the Foundation establishment realm.

Still, for such a place with so thin spiritual energy, it was a good strength nonetheless. At least, it was enough to be one of the powerhouses of Mistvale City.

"Sigh… did you two hear the news? All three disciples from the Mo Clan entered the inner sect of the Divine Cauldron Sect."

In a secluded room of an inn inside Mistvale City, a middle-aged man asked the other two with distress.

He was Zhao Heping, the clan leader of the Zhao Clan.

In Mistvale City, besides the Mo Clan, there were other top clans like the Zhao, Lin, and He clans.

All of them had someone in the foundation realm and a connection at the sect like Divine Cauldron. Otherwise, they wouldn't be the top clan in such a major city that bordered the edge of the Spiritfang Mountains.

"I heard, and from the news I got, it seems to be true."

Lin Darong, the leader of the Lin family, spoke lightly while sipping tea.

"I even know that the Mo family already invited them all to celebrate. Tch… just wait for the invitation for the banquet to come."

He added while clicking his tongue in annoyance.

"Yeah, that guy Mo Jian is quite sly. Although he invited them for the so-called celebration, we all know why he did that."

He Wenhai, who was silent all this time, spoke with slight anger.

The Mo family and his He family didn't have a good relationship.

Although they weren't constantly at each other's throats, they didn't hesitate to kill each other's members whenever the situation allowed.

"Sigh… it seems Mo Jian wants to pressure us into giving more shares of the mine by inviting them."

Zhao Heping also sighed with slight irritation.

The reason they were so concerned with the Mo Clan right now was because of the Spiritual Stone mine they discovered a few days ago.

"Damn it, didn't we agree that no outsiders are allowed? Does that mean Mo Jian wants to invite a snake? Then, why don't I also directly invite the royals?"

When it came to the share of the mine, He Wenhai visibly got irritated.

Rather than giving more shares to the Mo family due to pressure, he would rather invite the royal family.

Did Mo Jian think that only he had connections?

"Hey… Wenhai, don't be reckless. If the wind of this mine went to the royals, we won't get a single piece, let alone a share."

However, the moment He Wenhai showed his anger, Lin Darong immediately stopped him in a hurry.

"Yeah, don't be stupid. Inviting outsiders will do no good. Besides, from our observation, the mine seemed to be almost at the mid-grade. If someone found out, the situation would get bad."

Zhao Heping also nodded and reasoned slightly. Still, seeing that He Wenhai wasn't happy, he coughed lightly and said,

"Wenhai, Mo Jian's inviting those disciples doesn't mean he wants to involve the Divine Cauldron Sect in this. He also knows the stake. He just wants to gain a few benefits by pressuring us, that's all."

"Then, do you really want to give him an extra share? Is this why you invited us here?"

He Wenhai wasn't a kid who would sway by his words. Although he was impulsive, he was still a clan leader.

He knew what those shares represented. If they backed down now due to pressure, it wouldn't take long for the Mo Clan to become strong enough to pose a threat to his family.

In fact, these were the concerns of all the clan leaders here, too.

"No, why would I suggest such a stupid thing?"

Zhao Heping shook his head and said with a bitter look,

"But it is also true that the Mo Clan now has three people in the inner sect of the Divine Cauldron Sect. We cannot take them lightly as before."

When he said this, both He Wenhai and Lin Darong's faces turned solemn.

They also knew that they couldn't offend such a behemoth. If the person was an outer sect disciple, they could still ignore their influence.

But they were from the inner sect, and three at that.

Mo Jian really hit the jackpot this time.

"What do you think we should do then?"

Lin Darong suddenly asked Zhao Heping, as he was the one who had invited them here. So, he must have thought of something, right?

Sure enough, after hearing his query, Heping smiled slyly and whispered faintly,

"Look, no matter how angry we got, the situation is clearly favorable to the Mo family. If we want to break this situation, besides inviting someone important from outside, we can do nothing."

Zhao Heiping continued,

"But that is obviously out of the question. So, I thought, rather than dividing the mine's share vocally, how about we do a competition?"

He asked, to which Wenhai directly rolled his eyes,

"Competition? With someone who has people who managed to enter the inner sect of the Divine Cauldron Sect? Does your family have such a junior?"

He asked, speechless. If he had such a junior in his family, wouldn't he just send him to the sect directly?

"Cough… you misunderstood. I didn't mean competition like that. That will only draw more attention."

Zhao Heiping didn't mind Wenhai's snarky remark and instead began to talk in a low voice,

"Look, the mine we discovered is clearly guarded by a monster and its large number of lackeys. If we want to mine it, besides getting rid of them, we have no other choice."

He said with his eyes shining slightly,

"So, I thought, how about making a competition about that? The more monsters you kill and the more you contribute to the operation, the more share of the mine you can get."

"Although those inner sect disciples are geniuses, their realm is quite low, and they can't provide much help. But since this method is justifiable, Mo Jian also couldn't say anything. What do you think?"

Zhao Heiping asked, looking at the two clan leaders with a smile.

"This…"

Sure enough, as soon as both clan leaders heard his words, they were a little surprised. Then, they couldn't help thinking about it seriously.

But after thinking for a while, both of them shook their heads at the same time.

"No, this is too risky."

They both came to the same conclusion. After all, although this method seemed good, it was a double-edged sword.

They felt that if they went with this idea, they might not even get the share they would get now by the end of the operation.

Not to mention the situation could get very unsightly due to this. After all, even though they were now talking amiably, they were also competitors.

"Hehe… of course it is risky. But I have a solution that can directly reduce the risk to zero, you see."

Zhao Heiping didn't get discouraged by their rejections. From his expression, it seemed he had expected this reaction all along.

So, suddenly, he pulled a long scroll from his storage ring.

Then, under the confused gaze of both clan leaders, he began to unfold and narrate his elaborate plans, causing both the clan leaders' eyes to shine brightly.

"Why are you following me? Wait, why are you even here? Who allowed you to take this boat?"

High above in the sky, Mo Zhiran heard Tianyu asking someone with slight irritation.

"Hmm? Who is following you? And why can't I be here? Tianyu, you clearly changed."

Surprisingly, the one who replied to him was Yan Xi, who was the same auctioneer Zhiran met at Azure Flame City.

Coincidentally, when he was heading to the clan, the spirit boat he took was the same one with Tianyu and Yan Xi.

Oh, there was also another girl who was sulking behind.

"It must be because of her right? The rumour is really true. You dare to have an affair with another girl as soon as you leave my sight? Fortunately, I joined the sect in time."

Yan Xi suddenly said coldly while looking at the girl standing behind Tianyu, her eyes filled with fear.

Surprisingly, this girl was Mei Xuan, who got involved in this mess by accident.

To be honest, Zhiran had no idea why this girl was in this boat. But he didn't care as he was finding the whole situation quite entertaining.
