An Unexpected Turn: Villain Becomes Dad

Chapter 74



Chapter 74

The Liyang Palace.

Inside the ancient grand hall.

Li Zhan, the ruler of Liyang, was being choked by Yan Jiu and tossed to the ground like a dead dog.

His aura completely gone.

Beside him were three corpses.

All of them were Nascent Soul cultivators of the Liyang royal family who tried to obstruct the two of them.

As Nascent Soul cultivators, they had only reached the Nascent Soul realm and could not form independent soul bodies yet.

Although insignificant to a Soul Cult cultivator like Yan Jiu, they were at least an appetizing small dish.

“Xuantian Holy Son, our Li nation is under the influence of your Xuantian Sect! Is this how your Xuantian Sect treats us?”

The ancient Liyang ancestor sat cross-legged on the ground, roaring angrily.

Yang Chen looked at him with a cold sneer at the corner of his mouth.

“Our Xuantian Sect’s records state that you, Li Tengshan, perished from heavy injuries three hundred years ago! But now, you’re still alive, and have even reached the half-step Soul Transformation realm! I knew it, with just Li Zhan’s paltry cultivation, even if he was slightly stronger than that Imperial Preceptor Xu Hui, he shouldn’t have been so formidable! It turns out there was someone like you behind the scenes! You want to break through to Soul Transformation and escape our Xuantian Sect’s control, but it seems you can’t do that!”

“Damned brat!” Li Tengshan roared furiously.

But he no longer had the aura of a half-step Soul Transformation.

At this moment, the Realm Descending Powder had fully taken effect, causing his cultivation to plummet to the Golden Core realm.

“If I hadn’t been poisoned and was still at the half-step Soul Transformation realm, how could a brat like you be so audacious!”

Fury filled Li Tengshan’s face.

“Ancient ancestor!”

“Father!”

At this moment, Li Hao entered the hall.

Seeing his weakened ancient ancestor and his father’s corpse, his eyes immediately turned red with rage.

“Yang Chen, you killed my father!?”

Li Hao roared furiously, the veins on his forehead bulging like a maddened beast.

Although his father had an average relationship with his mother, he had treated this son well.

Earlier, his father said the ancient ancestor wanted to see his mother.

Li Hao felt uneasy, so he followed.

But instead, he witnessed this scene.

That despicable bastard Yang Chen had actually killed his father!

For a son to suffer his father’s murder, it was an unpardonable grudge.

Li Hao’s eyes instantly turned red with rage, even forgetting to flee.

[Ding! Host has slain Li Zhan, Li Hao’s father. Li Hao witnessed it. Plundered 2000 points of Providence Luck from the protagonist, Li Hao. Host has gained 2000 VPs!]

Yang Chen was speechless at this moment.

He didn’t expect Li Hao to witness it.

Alas.

Didn’t this make him the murderer of the protagonist’s father?

But it didn’t matter.

After all, he was the great villain.

“Master, let me kill that brat!” Yan Jiu waved his hand, preparing to slay Li Hao.

But a pale yellow figure appeared in front of Li Hao.

“Hao’er!”

Zhao Shirou hurriedly shielded Li Hao behind her.

“Zhao Shirou, you wicked disciple! You dare return! What poison did you use on me?”

Seeing Zhao Shirou, Li Tengshan immediately roared in anger.

Resentment filled his aged face.

The plan he schemed for a thousand years was ruined by this woman.

“Master, I gave you the Bewildering Infant Powder!”

Zhao Shirou also noticed something was off.

She had heard of the Bewildering Infant Powder, a poison specifically targeting Nascent Soul cultivators. Against her master at the half-step Soul Transformation realm, it could at most cause temporary disorientation.

That’s why she fled immediately.

But now, her master’s aura had plummeted to the Golden Core realm.

Zhao Shirou couldn’t help looking at Yang Chen.

“Yang Chen, did you really give me the Bewildering Infant Powder?”

Yang Chen immediately smiled.

“Consort Zhao, I suddenly remembered that I must have grabbed the wrong one! I mistook the Bewildering Infant Powder for the Realm Descending Powder! This poison can cause a half-step Soul Transformation cultivator’s realm to rapidly drop to the Golden Core realm!”

“You…! You did it on purpose!” Zhao Shirou realized the truth.

Her beautiful eyes turned frosty.

This bastard was truly despicable!

Come to think of it, why would this scoundrel suddenly help her and even give her a bottle of Bewildering Infant Powder to escape?

It turned out he deliberately gave her the Realm Descending Powder to use on her master, causing his realm to drop to the Golden Core.

“Damn you! Yang Chen, you treacherous scoundrel!”

Zhao Shirou looked at Li Zhan’s corpse on the ground and immediately understood Yang Chen’s intention.

He was taking the opportunity to kill her master!

Although her master had been grooming her as a furnace all along, after hundreds of years as master and disciple, if today’s events hadn’t happened, he would still be the person she respected most.

So at this moment, Zhao Shirou’s heart softened.

Her figure flashed and appeared before Li Tengshan, intending to take him away.

But then, Yan Jiu let out an eerie laugh and slashed at her with his sickle.

“Damn it!”

Zhao Shirou could only defend herself desperately as Yan Jiu pressed his attack.

“Senior Li, since you’ve already been expunged from this world as a dead man! This junior believes it’s better for you not to remain alive! Allow me to send you on your way!”

Yang Chen walked up to Li Tengshan and said slowly.

“Yang Chen, no, Your Holiness, you… you can’t kill me!”

Fear rose in Li Tengshan’s heart as he hurriedly pleaded: “I’m willing to submit to your Xuantian Sect and never have disloyal thoughts again! Spare my life, and I’ll contribute all the treasures the Liyang royal family has accumulated over 10,000 years to the Xuantian Sect!”

In the face of life and death, the mighty half-step Soul Transformation was reduced to shameless begging.

But Yang Chen would never give him a chance.

He was the villain, but not a senseless one.

So, it should be done swiftly.

He unleashed a ball of flame directly.

The Green Lotus Heavenly Flames rapidly enveloped Li Tengshan, instantly igniting his physical body.

“Ah! Yang Chen, you treacherous dog, bastard! Even as a ghost, I won’t let you off! Your Xuantian Sect will eventually be destroyed, your entire clan exterminated! You won’t die an easy death either!” Li Tengshan cursed loudly in agony. But soon, his physical body was reduced to ashes.

A faint red ethereal form tried to escape, but was immediately enveloped by Yan Jiu’s black mist form.

“You don’t even have the chance to become a ghost!”

Yang Chen coldly snorted, then transmitted his voice to Yan Jiu: “Yan Jiu, go refine him elsewhere!”

“Yes, Master!”

Yan Jiu vanished from the hall.

Li Tengshan had reached the half-step Soul Transformation realm.

Although he hadn’t fully condensed his Soul Transformation, he was just one step away. So his soul body had initially formed.

To Yan Jiu, the newly formed soul body of a half-step Soul Transformation was a great supplement.

“Yang Chen, you despicable scoundrel!” Zhao Shirou’s enchanting eyes were now filled with killing intent.

After all, Li Tengshan had been her master who taught her for hundreds of years. And he was killed right before her eyes by Yang Chen!

Moreover, it was by using the poison she had deployed!

This treacherous, despicable scoundrel!

Zhao Shirou directly struck at Yang Chen with her palm.

“Yang Chen, die!”

Bang!
