I am the villain in the book

“...That's pretty much it.”

“Let’s all share our thoughts.”

A quarter of an hour later, the carriage held five people, including Wei Changtian.

Apart from him, the other four wore expressions of unparalleled shock and astonishment.

After three days, information about the thirteen Sons of Heavenly Dao from the White Horse Temple finally reached Daqian.

Considering that the White Horse Temple was tens of thousands of miles away, this speed could be considered quite fast.

However, compared to this speed, the content of such a bombshell message was undoubtedly even more astonishing.

Ye Xuan, Lin Fan, Chu An, Xu Quan, Tang Chen...

The Heavenly Dao's fortune is divided into thirteen portions, each bestowed upon one of thirteen individuals. Killing someone allows you to seize their fortune. Seizing the fortune of three people allows you to break through the shackles of the First Rank, and seizing the fortune of all thirteen allows you to become an immortal.

Almost overnight, this news spread to every corner of the world, shrouding the entire world in an eerie atmosphere.

It was like the surface of water about to boil, still calm but perhaps about to explode in the next instant, leaving no one able to stay out of it.

Thirteen Sons of Heavenly Dao, thirteen portions of Heavenly Dao's fortune, three opportunities to break through the First Rank, and one opportunity to become an immortal – for any martial artist, it was impossible not to covet such opportunities.

Therefore, when the young man in the White Horse Temple decided to release this information, he was destined to unleash an unprecedented great chaotic era.

And several people at the center of this vortex, five of them, were now sitting in this small carriage, facing each other.

The stagnant air was extremely oppressive, and the "lulu" sound of the wheels rolling over each person's heartstrings brought the only sound to the silent atmosphere.

Without a doubt, from this moment on, the fate of the world would undergo a huge turning point.

In fact, for Wei Changtian, the most shocking thing about this news was not its content.

After all, he already knew about the existence of the Sons of Heavenly Dao, and it could even be said that it was because he killed Xiao Feng that these thirteen Sons of Heavenly Dao were "born."

Of course, he didn't know about the "Seizing the fortune of three people allows you to break through the First Rank, and seizing all the fortune allows you to become an immortal" thing before.

However, Wei Changtian didn't completely believe this matter, and still had some doubts.

Or rather, "plundering the Heavenly Dao's fortune" should only be one of the ways to break through the First Rank or become an immortal.

Because both Qin Zhengqiu and the Buddhist sect had already proven that breaking through the shackles of the First Rank was also possible through the Moon-Picking Sword and the Qi-Gathering Array.

Therefore, this "opportunity to break through" that sounded very rare was nothing in Wei Changtian's eyes.

What really worried him was who exactly released this news?

Such a fast speed, such accurate information.

Obviously, whoever it was, this person must have done it intentionally, and the purpose was to focus everyone's attention on these thirteen Sons of Heavenly Dao, and then start fighting and killing around these people.

And the identity of this person was most likely the mastermind behind stealing Xu Suisui's booklet, and also the third transmigrator that he suspected.

So, the question is.

Why did he do this? What good would it do him?

Since he had already obtained the information about the Sons of Heavenly Dao, why didn't he secretly kill people and seize their fortune himself, but instead made such valuable information public?

It's like a person finding a gold mine.

Why doesn't he quietly mine it himself, but instead "shares" it with everyone to compete for?

...

Frowning, Wei Changtian turned his head slightly, his eyes falling on Xu Suisui, who looked dazed and frightened.

The latter's mood and thoughts at the moment were actually similar to his, except that she had a little more self-blame.

After all, in Xu Suisui's opinion, if that booklet hadn't been lost, then perhaps all of this wouldn't have happened.

In short, regardless, the two of them, as "insiders" who already knew the truth about the Heavenly Dao's fortune, were basically thinking about some of the doubts hidden behind this information at the moment.

But for Yang Liushi and Li Zimu, these two "ordinary people" who only heard the concept of "Sons of Heavenly Dao" for the first time today, they naturally couldn't think so far at the moment, and were still shocked by the information itself.

Tang Chen, Shen Ran, Chu An, Ning Yongnian, Bai Youheng...

One familiar name after another seemed to still echo in their ears, and then turned into figures appearing in their minds.

Yang Liushi and Li Zimu had both been in contact with one or several of them. Although they had long noticed the difference in these people, they didn't expect the truth to be like this.

More importantly, if the information was true, then wasn't there a Son of Heavenly Dao sitting in this carriage right now?

“Xu, Young Master Xu, are you really...”

Staring blankly at Xu Quan, Yang Liushi's voice trembled slightly.

It could be seen that even someone like her, who had seen great storms and had long expected Xu Quan's "specialness", was still subconsciously doubting all of this at this moment.

However, Xu Quan's answer didn't make her feel any more at ease.

“...Yes.”

After a long silence, Xu Quan nodded lightly, without saying another word.

...

Suddenly widening her eyes in disbelief, even her breathing stagnated for a beat.

Yang Liushi subconsciously looked towards Wei Changtian and the others, and then her expression became stiff at a certain moment.

Because she suddenly realized that, except for Li Zimu, the others, especially Wei Changtian, had very calm eyes, as if they were not surprised at all.

“Husband, did you already know?”

“Yes.”

Gently patting the back of Yang Liushi's hand, Wei Changtian didn't hide it anymore.

After all, now that this matter had spread, it would be impossible to hide it anymore.

The reason why he didn't let Yang Liushi and Li Zimu "avoid" it just now was also because of this reason.

“I have indeed known these things for a long time. The reason why I didn't tell you before was because I didn't want you to get involved.”

After explaining simply, Wei Changtian analyzed softly:

“No matter where this news came from, it must be known to everyone now.”

“Yun Lian, Bai Youheng, Ning Yongnian are already dead.”

“There are ten left alive.”

“It is foreseeable that these ten people will be in a very dangerous situation in the future...”

Speaking of this, Wei Changtian glanced at Xu Quan, who was silent with his head down, and then continued:

“But the one who is more dangerous should be me.”

“The three dead ones were all killed by me, and it is not difficult for others to find out about this.”

“Therefore, there will definitely be many fools who come here next.”

“Of course, I am not afraid of this. I will kill as many as they come.”

“But it is easy to dodge an open spear, but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow. I am afraid that someone will trouble you, so you might as well go back to Da Shu earlier.”

“Husband, I won't leave.”

Suddenly, Yang Liushi raised her head sharply and interrupted firmly: “I will stay and help you. Let's send Miss Xu and Miss Li away first.”

“Hmm?”

Looking at Yang Liushi, Wei Changtian hesitated slightly.

On the one hand, he didn't want Yang Liushi to be in danger, but on the other hand, the latter now had the strength of the Second Rank, and staying would indeed be of great help to him.

“Then you can stay for the time being, and we'll talk about it later if the situation is not right.”

Nodding, Wei Changtian didn't stand on ceremony with Yang Liushi after all, and quickly made a decision.

Yang Liushi breathed a sigh of relief, as if she was very happy to be able to accompany him through "thick and thin."

On the other side, Li Zimu didn't "express her attitude" at this time either, just biting her lip tightly, her face pale.

Obviously, Li Zimu was not a Son of Heavenly Dao, so of course she didn't have to worry too much about her own safety.

Then, she was undoubtedly worried about another person.

“Young, Young Master, Tang Chen, he...”

“Alas.”

Sighing, Wei Changtian didn't say any comforting words.

“We can only see his own fortune.”
