Fantasy: I Am the Villain.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Snake Swallows the Elephant (Part Three)

Bai Ke was very curious about the phenomenon of the extinction of cultivation on Earth, after all, he was an enthusiast of those paranormal phenomena in his previous life.

In my past life, the ways in which different countries around the world dealt with similar paranormal events and alien incidents were strikingly similar, making it hard not to have wild speculations.

Regardless of their motives for keeping the secrets of cultivation from ordinary people, Bai Ke, who has witnessed the golden age of cultivation, does not believe in atheism.

He had long coveted the ancient Chinese martial arts techniques and supernatural abilities, and while he could exchange for them using his broken system, the price was...

Bai Ke felt that rather than relying on his broken system, he should break through his cultivation level as soon as possible and find a way back to Earth when he was able to physically travel through the void.

By then, whatever secrets Earth may still hold, will they still matter to Bai Ke? Those divine skills and secret techniques will be a piece of cake. Why would he need that broken system?

With that thought in mind, Bai Ke stopped worrying about things on Earth. His cultivation level was too low and his knowledge too limited. Thinking too much about it would only give him a headache. It was more comfortable to bully others.

Just as he was pondering this, the Shennong Gang group, along with Bai Ke, had already arrived not far from the Wuliang Sword Sect's mountain gate. After exchanging a glance with Sikong Xuan, Bai Ke took the lead and went out.

As previously agreed, Bai Ke was tasked with eliminating Zuo Zimu and Xin Shuangqing for the Shennong Gang. The reason for mentioning these two separately is that they are the leaders of the East and West branches of the Wuliang Sword Sect.

As the saying goes, "A large forest has all kinds of birds," and the same is true for martial arts sects. With many disciples, there are countless ridiculous and troublesome things that happen.

The Wuliang Sword Sect has a history of several decades since its founder, Wuliang Sword, established it on Wuliang Mountain. However, after Wuliang Sword passed away, the Wuliang Sword Sect he personally created was divided into three.

They are the Eastern Sect, the Western Sect, and the Northern Sect. The reason for their division is now unknown. All that is known is that the three sects decide the ownership of Jianhu Palace every five years.

It seems that they coveted the secret of the Boundless Jade Wall, but were unwilling to share it with others, so they thought of monopolizing the Sword Lake Palace.

Many years ago, after the Northern Sect was defeated by the combined forces of the Eastern and Western Sects, its leader led his disciples to Shanxi and never interfered in the ownership of Jianhu Palace again.

Wuliang Mountain is located in the Nanzhao Kingdom, and Shanxi Province is quite far away from it. Over time, the Wuliang Sword Sect was reduced to only two branches, East and West.

After the two sides joined forces to defeat the strongest Northern Sect, they eventually had an internal conflict, which has caused numerous incidents over the years.

A while ago, Duan Yu accidentally fell off a cliff because he got involved in the conflict between the Eastern and Western sects over the Sword Lake Palace.

Now, Bai Ke and the Shennong Gang are plotting against Wuliang Mountain, determined to eradicate the Wuliang Sword Sect completely. What difference is there between the two sects?

However, they didn't know whether Xin Shuangqing had left with his men or not, and Bai Ke couldn't reveal his divine sense.

After several discussions, the group decided to take advantage of Bai Ke's young age and appearance to infiltrate the Wuliang Sword Sect and kill Zuo Zimu and the others.

If Xin Shuangqing and the others were still alive, Bai Ke would naturally be happy to take them all down. But if they had already left, then he couldn't let a word of it leak out.

Bai Ke didn't want to go through all that trouble. He originally wanted to take direct action and wipe out the Wuliang Sword Sect, but in order to keep his secret about being from beyond the heavens, he had no choice but to agree to the plan.

There's a little anecdote here: Sikong Xuan, having broken through his cultivation level, actually wanted to sneak into the Wuliang Sword Sect with Bai Ke.

Bai Ke rolled his eyes and pointed to his signature full beard, so Sikong Xuan had no choice but to give up.

Hidden under the trees in the forest, with Sikong Xuan, a cultivator at the Innate Realm, as cover, the group didn't need to worry about being discovered. Bai Ke then swaggered towards the main gate of Jianhu Palace.

It seems that Bai Ke has been fearless ever since he came to this world. The last time he took Duan Yu to the Shennong Gang's mountain gate, he was just as swaggering and uninhibited.

After Zuo Zimu and the others won the two major competitions, they pretended to try to persuade Xin Shuangqing and the others who were about to leave to stay.

Happiness is always built on the foundation of others' disappointment; otherwise, who is Zuo Zimu trying to impress with his happiness?

Xin Shuangqing and the others were also indignant and wanted to stay at Jianhu for a while longer so that they could peek into some of Zuo Zimu's unique methods of training his disciples.

This benefited Bai Ke, who, with a sweep of his divine sense, spotted Zuo Zimu and the others having a drink in a garden at Jianhu Palace.

Although Bai Ke didn't recognize them, the group sat at opposite ends. Judging from the disciples' competition, it was obvious to anyone with a brain that they were Zuo Zimu's group.

The gloomy-faced old woman sitting opposite Zuo Zimu must be Xin Shuangqing from the Western Branch of the Wuliang Sword Sect.

"Cough! TV dramas have really corrupted me. I thought all those female knights and nuns in the martial arts world had some kind of magic for maintaining their youth."

Bai Ke, deceived by Xin Shuangqing's name, had imagined her to be a beautiful middle-aged woman, but she turned out to be an old woman, and he was immediately disappointed.

"Hey! Kid over there, which sect do you belong to? What are you doing here at my Wuliang Sword Sect for no reason?"

A shout came from afar. Bai Ke looked up and saw that it was the guard from Jianhu Palace speaking. He couldn't help but chuckle. With a wave of his hand, a gust of wind rose up, and the guard hurriedly covered his eyes to avoid it.

When they looked up again, Bai Ke had already disappeared, which startled them so much that they trembled and asked each other what had just happened.

"Hehe! Don't ask anymore, it's your Shennong Gang grandpa who's here!" A sinister laugh came from behind. The two hurriedly dodged, but before they could even move, they were knocked unconscious on the spot.

Sikong Xuan emerged from behind the two men and casually tossed the two unfortunate guards to the Shennong Gang members in the distance.

"You all stay here and keep a close watch. Do not allow anyone to escape from Sword Lake Palace, not even a fly. Understand?"

A roar of agreement came from the crowd in the distance, and Sikong Xuan nodded in satisfaction. Then, he looked into the Sword Lake Palace with a puzzled expression.

"What caused that sudden gust of wind? Was it a coincidence? Or was it the work of Young Master Tian Ce? And how could he control such a gale?"

Completely baffled, Sikong Xuan scratched his head, still unable to figure it out, and could only continue to devise his methods.

The Shennong Gang is not only famous for its medical skills, but also for its Gu poison techniques passed down through generations, which are difficult to guard against. Before long, the disciples of the Wuliang Sword Sect responsible for guarding the area had all fainted.

"Quickly! Get a few people to change into their clothes and stand back in their original positions. Don't give me the slightest hint."

Just now, Bai Ke's sudden gust of wind exposed all the sentries and lookouts of the Wuliang Sword Sect, giving Sikong Xuan a huge advantage.
