Villain: Her Imagination Makes Me Invincible

Chapter 43: The Twelve Demons of the Previous Generation

The old headquarters of the Demonic Sect.

Most of the people had already gone to Cangyun Heavenly Mountain under Ling Xue’s orders, to establish it as the new headquarters of the Demonic Sect.

Some were still in the process of relocating.

But Ling Xue had returned here once again.

“Young master, why have we come back here?”

Xiao Xiao followed closely beside Ling Xue, still habitually calling him young master.

And, of course, she still habitually stuck to Ling Xue’s side.

Previously, she didn’t go to Cangyun Heavenly Mountain due to the possibility of battle. But once Ling Xue returned, she hadn’t left his side since.

Ling Xue replied, “To find someone!”

He glanced around at the now nearly deserted old headquarters of the Demonic Sect.

“Find someone?” Xiao Xiao scratched her head. “Who could be so hard to find?”

She couldn’t understand. If they were a member of the Demonic Sect, wouldn’t they come out with a single order from Ling Xue?  

And if they weren’t part of the Demonic Sect, why would they come to the old headquarters to find them?  

Ling Xue only smiled faintly without explaining further.

In his generation, the Twelve Fiends of the Demonic Sect were people like Xiao Xiangyu. They were gathered by his father back in the day to assist him as the Twelve Fiends of the Demonic Sect.

But during his father’s time, there was also a previous generation of Twelve Fiends!

The Twelve Fiends of the previous generation.

However, in that great battle back then, most of the Twelve Fiends of the previous generation perished alongside his father.

Only a few remained!

But undoubtedly, those who survived were… beings of the Extreme Martial Realm!

The original records stated that four of the Twelve Fiends of the previous generation survived.

One of them was here at the old headquarters of the Demonic Sect.

Ling Xue led Xiao Xiao to a lake within the vast interior of the Demonic Sect.

This lake spanned thousands of meters, its waters crystal clear but bottomless!

“Wait for me outside!”  Ling Xue said to Xiao Xiao before leaping into the lake with a splash and diving toward the bottom.

Xiao Xiao stood alone at the water’s edge, pouting her lips when she heard Ling Xue’s words.

Every time the young master said something like this, it meant trouble!  

Could it be that there was a beautiful woman hidden down there?  

Was the young master about to have some kind of affair with her again…?  

After what happened with Yun Luoxi and Yu Yaoyao, Xiao Xiao’s mind couldn’t help but jump to that conclusion.

But this time, she was wrong!

There was no beautiful woman down below.

Instead, there was an old man.

An old man with red-gold hair and beard. His thick, fiery red-gold hair and beard looked like flames burning on his head.

At the bottom of this unimaginably deep, dark lake, there was an area of underwater lava. In the pitch-black depths of the lake, it emitted a fiery red glow.

The old man sat cross-legged within the lava, eyes closed. When Ling Xue arrived, he floated in front of the old man.

This red-haired and bearded elder was, of course, one of the Twelve Fiends of the previous generation.

Yan Kui!

“Old Yan!”

As Ling Xue arrived, he called out.

He had, of course, seen Yan Kui before.

But… it had been many years.

Sensing Ling Xue’s arrival, Yan Kui, whose eyes had been shut for countless years, slowly opened them at this moment.

The moment his eyes opened, they landed directly on Ling Xue.

Within those ancient eyes, a hint of surprise suddenly appeared. “Hmm?”

He was surprised, not at anything else.

But rather at Ling Xue’s current cultivation.

It was actually… at the peak of the Divine Origin Realm?

In his memory, Ling Xue was nothing more than an innate waste body without any cultivation!

How could he possess such terrifying strength now?  

Even if he weren’t an innate waste body, there was no way he could achieve such power at such a young age, right?  

Had this young master… been hiding his true abilities all along?  

“Haha, it seems… everyone has misjudged the young master! No one realized how unfathomable he truly is!” Yan Kui’s ancient voice rang out, carrying a tone of appreciation.

For them, the best possible outcome was nothing short of this.

If Ling Xue wasn’t an innate waste body, then the future of the Demonic Sect would certainly be hopeful.

“Old Yan, you were one of the Twelve Fiends of the previous generation, who fought alongside my father, shoulder to shoulder. You are a senior!” Ling Xue continued, “Now that the Demonic Sect is on the brink of resurgence, I believe it’s time for you to leave this place!”

“So, you’ve come to invite this old man out? A junior asking an elder to serve him?” Yan Kui chuckled.

“I’m not here to invite you out, Old Yan. Whether or not you come out is entirely up to you,” Ling Xue said calmly.

These old warriors had gone through countless storms and battles back in the day.

It was a miracle they survived!

Even if Yan Kui decided never to participate in any more conflicts, Ling Xue would never force these former veterans of the Demonic Sect.

“Oh? Then what is the young master’s purpose in coming here?” Yan Kui asked curiously.

“I want to… spar with you, Old Yan!” Ling Xue said with a slight smile.

Hearing this, Yan Kui burst into laughter, “Hahahahahaha! Good! A spar, huh?”

Although Ling Xue had come to invite him out to serve, Yan Kui knew he had no choice but to leave eventually.

After all, Ling Xue was the young master of the Demonic Sect. But instead, Ling Xue had used a spar as the reason. Whether or not Yan Kui chose to leave was entirely up to him.

This was Ling Xue showing great respect to his senior!

This young master of the Demonic Sect could be domineering when necessary, but he was also reasonable when the situation called for it.

“Then let this old man… see just how deeply the young master has hidden his abilities!” Yan Kui laughed heartily.

And then… boom!!!

In an instant, a fiery red light exploded from Yan Kui’s ancient eyes.

The crimson flames around his body surged wildly.

The vast spiritual energy of the Extreme Martial Realm instantly swept through the entire lake!

At the same time, within Ling Xue’s body, the Heaven and Earth Sword Technique slowly began to circulate.

At the peak of the Divine Origin Realm, he would face off against the Extreme Martial Realm!
