I Truly Am The Villian-Chapter 43 - Situ Yunlei

Chapter 43: Chapter 43 Situ Yunlei

Of course, the price for being sealed in the ancestral coffin was that they could no longer cultivate and could only slowly die off like this until one day, even the time-slowing effects of the Dust Blood Stone were no longer sufficient, and life would reach its end.

However, the benefit was that they could live for a much longer time, having more time to guard their own family.

Generally, these old relics would not emerge easily because each time they left the seal of the Dust Blood Stone, it would consume a lot of their lifespan, and moreover, the Dust Blood Stone was extremely valuable, usually beyond the reach of smaller families.

Unless a family faced imminent extinction, people would not easily open the ancestral coffin.

“Are you really sure you want to make enemies with my Situ Family?” the Great Elder said sternly.

“Situ Mang, your Situ Family is doomed today,” Wan Cangqiong replied.

...

“Open the ancestral coffin,” the Great Elder roared, and the pitch-black coffin lid was slowly pried open.

The seal that had been in place for decades was finally exposed to daylight once again.

An intangible aura was gathering above, and a sigh emanated from within the coffin, “Has our Situ Family finally come to this point?”

The person inside the coffin was unaware of what had happened outside, but he understood that the moment the ancestral coffin was opened, it signified that the Situ Family was on the brink of extinction.

Other than this reason, no one would normally open the ancestral coffin.

“Old Family Head, it is our incompetence. We failed to bring the enterprise you passed down to us to glory; instead, we have caused this situation,” the Great Elder knelt in front of the ancestral coffin and said sorrowfully.

“Where is Yuntian?” the voice inside the coffin asked again.

“The Family Head is dead. The murderer has not been found yet,” the Great Elder reported truthfully.

“Life is like a dream,” the person in the coffin sighed.

Then, with a “rattle” sound, the coffin lid was completely opened, and an elder with white hair and a youthful face stepped out.

The elder wore a light cyan robe, many parts of which were embroidered with patterns of white clouds.

His temples were covered with white hair, he was not tall, his skin was somewhat withered, tightly clinging to his bones.

At first glance, this old man looked just like an ordinary elder in the twilight of his years, but his eyes sparkled, and his aura was rapidly intensifying like a landslide.

His aura remained at the peak of the True Vein Realm, and just when it was about to break through to the Empty Vein Realm, it stopped.

People often say that the path of the Martial Path is difficult,

hard as climbing to Qing Tian,

every step a new heaven.

It was this slight barrier between the True Vein Realm and the Empty Vein Realm that trapped the life of the man before us.

In fact, there were many people like the elder who lacked the support of major forces’ resources; many lone travelers spent their entire lives lingering in the Condensing Vein Realm.

……

“Situ Yunlei?” Wan Cangqiong looked at the elder and asked.

“Wan Family’s youngling and Wang Family’s youngling, you both have done quite well,” Situ Yunlei said, slightly squinting at the people surrounding the entire Situ Family compound.

“Elder Situ, we all respect you a great deal, but some things leave us no choice,” Wang Cheng said.

“Words are pointless. It’s been a long while since these old bones have moved,” Situ Yunlei laughed heartily, then his aura surged like a torrent, as he charged directly towards Wang Cheng and Wan Cangqiong.

Both Xu Zimei and Wang Cheng did not dare to be careless, even though everyone was at the peak of the True Vein Realm. However, the opponent had become famous much earlier, so they both attacked Situ Yunlei together.

“Protect our home, charge!”

The Great Elder yelled at the disciples behind him, then took the lead and charged out.

Suddenly, the younger generations of the three families were embroiled in a fierce battle.

Although the Situ Family’s disciples were brave and fierce, they still faced the problem that two fists are no match for four hands. Under the combined forces of the Wang and Wan Families, they were continuously driven back.

Although Situ Yunlei was initially able to suppress Wang Cheng and Wan Cangqiong, as the battle dragged on, his age began to show, and he struggled to keep up with the physical demands of the fight.

In this battle, over half of the Situ Family was destroyed, and bodies were gradually strewn about the vicinity.

Seeing Wan Cangqiong and Wang Cheng growing more vigorous as the battle waged on, Situ Yunlei gritted his teeth in fury, completely ignoring their attacks, planning to fight to the death.

He used his Flying Cloud Palm, and thousands of white clouds amassed together, an incredible momentum bursting forth from his palms.

His palms struck the chests of Wan Cangqiong and Wang Cheng, the white clouds exploded, and the infinite shock wave completely scattered the three of them.

Both Wan Cangqiong and Wang Cheng each spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, while Situ Yunlei’s injuries were also severe.

He had just taken a punch and a kick from the two, and with a sweet taste in his throat, although he forcibly swallowed the blood down, the condition inside his body was painful, with his internal organs churning in agony, and his face turning pale.

“Do you still want to fight?” Situ Yunlei asked indifferently, standing up straight, his blue clothing like a robe and his white hair like snow.

“Fight,” Wan Cangqiong roared, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, ready to attack again, but was stopped by a voice.

“Gentlemen, can we please calm down for a moment? Allow me to say a few words,” Xu Zimei came walking over, step by step, under everyone’s surprised gaze.

The Great Elder looked at Xu Zimei and hurriedly said, “Young Master Xu, we hope that you can uphold justice for us.”

Wan Cangqiong frowned and looked at Xu Zimei, asking, “Does Young Master Xu represent the intentions of the Holy Sect?”

“No, no, no, the Holy Sect does not interfere in any healthy competition,” Xu Zimei shook his head and said, “I am merely representing myself.”

“What do you mean, Young Master Xu?” Situ Yunlei pondered for a moment, then asked Xu Zimei.

“This is a matter for your three families, and it is indeed a bit inappropriate for an outsider like me to meddle,” Xu Zimei said with a smile, “However, if the Situ Family is willing to become a personal affiliated force of mine, I can help you get through this difficult time.”

Hearing Xu Zimei’s words, Situ Yunlei was stunned; without a doubt, this arrangement would greatly benefit the Situ Family.

Not only could they escape this crisis, but they could also rely on Xu Zimei’s support, gain access to his resources, and then grow and strengthen.

But the question was, would the Situ Family, once under Xu Zimei’s command, really be the same Situ Family it was before?

“In addition, I can help you find the murderer of Situ Yuntian,” Xu Zimei continued.

“You know who the killer is?” Situ Yunlei’s eyes gleamed as he asked.

“I would not make an unsubstantiated claim,” Xu Zimei said casually, “I’ll give you three minutes to think it over. Take your time, after all, it should be a willing cooperation.”

“I agree to your terms,” Situ Yunlei knew he had no room for choice, so he simply and directly agreed.

“Now can you tell me who killed Yuntian?”

No sooner had Situ Yunlei’s words fallen than the three Elders of the Situ Family suddenly erupted in violence.

With a sword strike, a punch, and a palm hit, they landed on Situ Yunlei, who didn’t even have time to react, and he was gravely injured.
