I Truly Am The Villian

"It seems Young Master Xu doesn't intend to hand over the fire source," Murong Qing said.

"To be honest, this fire source is of no use to me. Besides the fire source, I have many things more important to your Fire Tribe," Xu Zimei replied with a smile.

"But you are not qualified to negotiate with me."

"Young Master Xu, you know, our Sun Palace is willing to pay any price for the fire source," Murong Qing said.

"Even if it means becoming your enemy, we must obtain the fire source."

"I've stated my conditions. Without seeing the Candle Dragon, I won't hand over the fire source, even if it means becoming enemies with the Sun Palace," Xu Zimei laughed.

Murong Qing's eyes narrowed slightly.

Meanwhile, the loose cultivators around were growing restless.

The collapse of the Thunder Domain was imminent, pressing upon them.

"Sun Palace, give us an answer. Will the Origin Land open or not?" Hu Ba shouted.

"If we die here, your Sun Palace will face targeting from all forces in the Blazing Flame Realm.

Including the five major Fire Domains."

"Letting you go is not out of fear but because you are not the target of this mission," Murong Qing snorted coldly.

She formed hand seals swiftly.

The speed was incredibly fast, and within just a few breaths, the void was filled with countless seals.

Each seal was abstruse and mysterious.

When they combined, they instantly formed a key.

A key that could open the Origin Land, connecting to the outside world.

Powerful forces hovered around the key.

It had a certain heaven-splitting earth-dividing aura.

The key swung in the void, as if the vast lands were torn apart in the middle.

A massive swirling vortex appeared.

The collapse of the surrounding Thunder Domain was less than three kilometers from everyone.

"Beyond this vortex door is the Blazing Flame Realm," Murong Qing said.

"Everyone except Young Master Xu may leave."

After saying this, Murong Qing turned her gaze back to Xu Zimei.

"Young Master Xu, I'm very curious how you plan to escape this place of destruction."

"Why should I leave?" Xu Zimei chuckled in response.

"The show hasn't even started yet, why should I hurry?"

Murong Qing slightly frowned.

At this moment, countless loose cultivators couldn't wait to fly toward the swirling vortex.

All wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Overall, it was both a gain and a loss this time.

Some searched tirelessly for the fire source, only to find nothing in the end.

Others, whose initial target was the ancient land, ended up with a bountiful harvest.

As more and more people left.

At this moment, as the Hell Tiger Clan passed by Murong Qing while leaving.

They suddenly launched an attack on Murong Qing.

A tiger's roar shook the mountains and forests, and a powerful force erupted from them.

Hu Ba acted first.

With a "rumbling" sound of explosions.

No one expected Hu Ba to act this way, attacking the people of the Sun Palace.

Caught off guard, Murong Qing was directly punched away.

"Hand over the fire source," Hu Ba shouted.

The place where Murong Qing originally stored the fire source was in the void of her sleeve.

It was a space she personally refined.

Because her storage ring could not hold these things.

Some truly powerful individuals painstakingly refine a small world, not only to store things.

But also to allow themselves or their loved ones to reside inside.

Although that small world is dead and unable to develop.

At this moment, Hu Ba had long zeroed in on her sleeve's void.

A powerful force surged forward.

The tiger's shadow swallowed the heavens and earth, directly shattering the sleeve's void.

After it shattered, many items fell from inside.

Most notably, the five fire sources.

Murong Qing's expression changed drastically, shouting angrily, "Put down the fire source, what are you Hell Tiger Clan planning?"

"And all others, these fire sources cannot be taken; they concern our Fire Tribe's major affairs."

"Your Sun Palace is too much of a hindrance," Hu Ba snorted coldly.

"The Fire Tribe needs a change, and with your Sun Palace's suppression, it can't change.

Now is the time to eliminate you."

Hu Ba and Murong Qing began to fight over the fire sources in mid-air.

Murong Qing seized the fire sources of the Fire Domain, Thunder Domain, and Wood Domain.

While Hu Ba directly obtained the fire source of the Gold Domain.

Although both were Saint Heir and Saintess of their respective tribes, the gap in strength was still obvious.

Hu Ba, under Murong Qing's fierce offensive, could barely protect himself.

After collecting four fire sources, they both set their sights on the last fire source.

That was the fire source of the Earth Realm.

Both soared into the air simultaneously, reaching for the fire source.

But at that moment, a large hand reached in front of them, directly pocketing the fire source.

Their expressions changed.

Especially Murong Qing.

Because the one who seized the Earth Realm fire source was Shangguan Wan'er.

Surrounded by the flames of Jiuyou Prison Fire, she sent them flying with a single strike.

Shangguan Wan'er had been hiding her strength all along.

Or rather, she had never seriously fought since the battle with Xu Zimei earlier.

"Shangguan Wan'er, what is your Shangguan Family planning?" Murong Qing shouted.

"Is the Divine Crow Flame Domain also going to betray?"

"Your Sun Palace is not the dominator of the Fire Tribe. Going against your wishes is not betrayal," Shangguan Wan'er sneered.

"What kind of robbery logic is that?"

"That's not what I meant; you should understand," Murong Qing said with a strained expression.

"Are you in league with the Hell Tiger Clan?"

"No, no," Shangguan Wan'er shook her head.

"I only care about myself; as for others or other matters, they have nothing to do with me."

After saying this, Shangguan Wan'er smiled again.

"You two can slowly struggle over this. Settle your business, I'll be leaving first."

She soared into the sky and flew toward the vortex.

Murong Qing did not stop her, only watching her coldly.

With a "bang" sound.

Shangguan Wan'er's figure was suddenly struck down by a powerful force when she touched the vortex.

"Who?" Shangguan Wan'er shouted.

But no one answered her, because the one who struck her down was a formation.

A formation swirling in the void, stirring winds and clouds.

The formation enveloped the massive vortex.

Almost sealing every exit.

From this moment on, no creature could leave here.

"It seems you were prepared," Shangguan Wan'er looked at Murong Qing and said.

"I just want to know if you two are working together?" Murong Qing asked calmly.

"No, let me leave," Shangguan Wan'er replied flatly.

"Hand over the fire source, go to Sun Palace and confess, and you may be spared once," Murong Qing said coldly.

"Wishful thinking," Shangguan Wan'er snorted coldly.

Looking at Hu Ba, she said, "Hell Tiger Clan, how about we join forces?"
