Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!



****

"Who could've thought that you'll bring the downfall of the Sky Dynasty this easily," Xinren laughed. She was quite cheerful as she accompanied Xu Shan. "Divide and Rule, you called it?"

Two days had passed since Ming Yan was killed, and Xu Shan was already far away from the battlefield.

He was already near the Royal City of the Sky Dynasty, which was surrounded by a Cavalry of Powerful Warriors. 

It was as if the entire city was sealed. Not a single person was allowed to enter the Royal City which was already fortified. 

"Divide and Rule... A lesson that the history back on earth taught everyone..." Xu Shan replied, walking with calm steps. "It's the method used in the past on earth. Well, not just in the past. I guess it's still being used in the modern era, just in a different way."

"I just borrowed that method for a little bit, after realizing the inner conflict of the Sky Dynasty. And this war came as a perfect opportunity. Now all I need to do is collect my harvest."

He gazed at the Majestic Royal City in the distance. His face was still covered in a mask. However, his aura was very different now. He wasn't hiding his aura at all, as he approached the Royal City of the Sky Dynasty. 

"Hmm?" Suddenly, he pulled out a small crystal sphere from his pocket, feeling it activate. 

"You killed her?" he asked, as if he was using the orb to communicate with someone. There was a frown on his face. 

He simply asked the woman to keep an eye on Yu Fei for the time being, since he still had some uses for her. However, to his surprise, she acted on her own. 

On the other side of the Communication Orb, a woman was sitting on her bed, nodding. "Yes. I sent my maid to poison her. She should be dead by now."

Initially, Xu Shan only desired to make her his spy. However, even he didn't expect that she was going to fall to this extent, even doing things that he didn't ask, thinking it'll help him. It was as if she was now obsessed with him. 

"I heard he wanted to use that girl against you! So I took this opportunity to kill her!" She further stated. 

Xu Shan's frown deepened, as he scratched the back of his head. His eyes revealed some frustration since he knew that this was the end of his spy's usefulness. 

There was no way Qin Ye wasn't going to find out about her being behind all this!

He knew that the young Emperor should've already been suspicious by now if there was a spy amongst them and now this... There was no way he wasn't going to know. 

Xu Shan rubbed the back of his neck, shaking his head. As he was about to speak something, he heard clapping sounds. 

The Empress also turned around, noticing multiple people in her room that previously weren't there. She didn't even know how they could enter without her knowing!

However, the person who caught her most attention was Qin Ye, who was standing lazily with his back resting against the wall, clapping. 

"And here I thought, there was no way you could be a spy..." After clapping for a long time, he finally spoke. 

He stepped closer to the Empress who was frozen in fear. 

As soon as the Empress saw Qin Ye stopping near her, she pulled out a dagger and rushed ahead. The small communication orb fell on the bed. 

Qin Ye didn't even flinch. He caught the Empress's wrist mid-air and with the other hand, he carefully took the dagger away from her grip. 

"To think that even you would betray me one day?" His fingers brushed against the cheeks of the Empress... the only woman he ever loved. 

Unfortunately, the face of the Empress showed no signs of familiarity. It was as if she was a completely different person now. 

Qin Ye released her wrist. 

"How did you fall so far?" he asked softly, sadness etched on his face. 

The Empress sneered at him and straightened her clothes. "Stop talking as if you know me! If you want to help me, then just die! If anything, her eyes only revealed a look of craving for the crystal orb in the distance. 

Qin Ye let out a sigh, observing the woman before him once again, as if etching her in his memories one last time. 

After coming to a decision, he suddenly grabbed his wife's throat and lifted her off the ground before he reached for the crystal orb with his other hand.

The iridescent Crystal Orb hovered effortlessly before finally coming to rest in the palms of the youthful Emperor.

"Xu Shan, I suppose?" he asked, struggling really hard to not crush the orb in his hand. 

"Emperor Qin, it's nice to make your acquaintance." On the other side, Xu Shan smiled. "I guess I should thank you for kidnapping the Saintess?"

"Do you think you can survive for long like this?" Qin Ye asked. Since he couldn't crush the communication orb, his fists around the throat of his wife kept getting tighter. 

"Shouldn't you be worrying about yourself instead? How much lifespan do you even have left, to play around with that book?" Xu Shan lazily asked. 

Even as he talked, he finally came closer to the entrance of the Sky Dynasty Royal City. 

Hearing him suddenly mention his biggest secret, Qin Ye froze on the spot. His grip weakened, and his wife dropped to her knees, breathing heavily as if she had just escaped death!

He didn't know how Xu Shan knew about this book! How was this possible?! 

"How do you know about it?!" he asked, as his aura fluttered uncontrollably, sending his guards flying back. 

Even the Empress who was on her knees, couldn't resist that aura. Her skin broke apart, as her body disintegrated before that aura, until nothing was left of her!

The entire room was in a mess, as a fierce killing intent built up.
