A Villain's Smile

In the Qian Emperor Dao Sect's main hall…

Hiss!

Hiss!

Hiss!

All the Elders gasped.

When they heard about the Daoless Sect, they were all stunned.

A moment later, the Elders regained their senses and spoke out in disbelief.

"This, this, this… The Elders of the sect have all ascended, so there's no one left in the sect? Are the hidden sects all so arrogant!?"

"A sword strike from a seemingly ordinary disciple nearly caused the Dao Hearts of two Golden Core disciples of my sect to collapse? Is this the strength of a hidden sect?"

"At least 10,000 years of foundation! Sect Leader, why don't we go and be their lackeys?"

The Elders were both shocked and amazed.

"Do you think we can believe everything that the disciple had said? What if it was just a low-grade sect? What if we are thinking too highly of them?"

Some Elders thought of this point and spoke out.

The moment this was said, the other Elders rolled their eyes.

The Grand Elder, who held the portrait in his hand, said loudly, "Do you really think we are thinking too highly of them? If so, how do you explain this portrait? Only those who have seen this scene before could sketch such a portrait out.

"Or perhaps, do you think that he had sketched out something from his imagination? Pfft, what kind of joke is this? To craft such a scene from one's imagination, how strong must one's imagination be?

"Not to mention, how could one craft such domineering words from their imagination? That's impossible! If you guys think it's possible, then why don't you try to come up with one?"

The Grand Elder's words were filled with righteousness.

The Elders who had just spoken were all embarrassed and could only lower their heads in silence.

The Sect Leader of the Qian Emperor Dao Sect was silent for a while before he slammed the table and stood up. "Alright, there's no need to argue any longer. The existence of the hidden sect is real. There is no doubt about this. The most important thing now is to find out the hidden sect's attitude.

"It would be best if we could get in touch with the hidden sect and build a friendly relationship with them! We should work hard to achieve a win-win situation for both the Daoless Sect and the Qian Emperor Dao Sect!"

Sect Leader Qian Yuan had obviously made his decision. It would be best to form a good alliance with a hidden sect like this.

"Yes, Sect Leader."

All the Elders nodded in response.

However, there was still an Elder who had a query.

"Sect Leader, how are we going to contact the hidden sect? The hidden sect's only disciple is unable to represent the sect in such matters, and the Sect Leader of the hidden sect is also out. How are we going to get on good terms with the hidden sect?"

Sect Leader Qian Yuan was silent for a while. He frowned and said, "The Sect Leader of the hidden sect is indeed out, and we have no idea where he is… Forget it. Let's search for him in the east region first. The Elders and disciples will go out and travel around the east region. We will search for him and see if we can find him.

"At the same time, make a copy of the portrait and inform our sect's subsidiary sects to search for him as well. If they can find him in the east region, that will be for the best. If they can't, then forget it.

"Also, if we really find this Sect Leader of the hidden sect, remember not to offend him. If anyone offends him, don't blame me for being merciless."

His tone became slightly sinister toward the end of the sentence.

None of the Elders had any objections, however.

…

The stars in the night sky shone brightly.

Chu Yuan flew into Springfield City and easily found the Zhang family's mansion through his divine sense.

He stared at the Zhang family's mansion before him and remained silent.

It was time to use some tricks again.

Yes, he wanted to use the same trick that he had used to deceive Ye Luo.

Firstly, he would hire a Foundation Establishment cultivator or even a Golden Core cultivator to deal with the Zhang family. Then, when the Zhang family was in despair, he would step forward to aid them. He would then declare that he and Zhang Han were fated to be master and disciple, and he had only acted because of Zhang Han.

At that moment, Zhang Han would definitely feel extremely honored. He would definitely agree to become his disciple without question.

This was a perfect plan.

There was no time to lose. He needed to find the actors first.

Clouds formed under Chu Yuan's feet as he quickly traversed the streets of Springfield City, searching for cultivators.

Cultivators with higher cultivation could see through cultivators with lower cultivation.

Of course, that excluded the possibility that one possessed a treasure that could isolate a cultivator's divine sense.

Chu Yuan spread out his divine sense, scanned Springfield City's streets, and countless images appeared in his mind.

The night watchman, who was walking on the streets and reporting the time…

An elderly, who was knocking on a door…

Gamblers in the gambling den who did not know they were getting cheated of their money…

He saw many scenes.

However, Chu Yuan did not manage to find any cultivators.

Why are there so few cultivators in the vast Springfield City?

Chu Yuan frowned and complained in his heart.

After searching for about ten minutes, he finally found a cultivator on the street.

It was a young man in his 20s. His cultivation base was only at the late Qi Refinement stage. He hadn't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage yet.

What a noob.

This was Chu Yuan's evaluation of this person.

He had completely forgotten how he had even gotten his cultivation…

Chu Yuan locked onto his target, quickly landed in front of the young cultivator, and instantly released the pressure that belonged to a Nascent Soul cultivator.

The young cultivator was completely dumbfounded as he looked at the person who had suddenly appeared before him.

Immediately after, he was pressured to the ground and trembling with a dumbstruck expression.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What am I doing here?

Chu Yuan flexed his muscles before retracting his aura and stared at the young cultivator casually.

The young cultivator hurriedly got up from the ground and said in a panic, "Senior! Did this junior offend Senior in any way!?"

Chu Yuan waved his hand and said indifferently, "What's your name? I have something I want you to do. Are you willing?"

The young cultivator hurriedly replied. He cupped his hands and said, "Senior, this junior's name is Wang Wei. I am from Silvermoon City's Wang family. May I ask what does Senior want me to do? If it is within my capabilities, this junior will definitely help!"

The moment that was said, Chu Yuan immediately explained his arrangements to the young cultivator, Wang Wei.

"Don't worry. As long as you do this for me, I won't treat you unfairly. It's not impossible for me to reward you with some treasures," Chu Yuan said seductively.

Do not ask what treasure he was going to give Wang Wei. He was merely trying to gain something without risking anything.

He did not have any treasures. He was poor to the point he did not even have much gold and silver left on him. How would he have any treasure to spare?

Most Qi Refinement cultivators were probably richer than him.

When Wang Wei heard these words, a complicated expression appeared on his face.

"S-senior, you want me to become an actor? Acting as the villain? What should I do?"

Chu Yuan calmly waved his hand and casually replied, "That's easy. Just be a villain that smiles and laughs spookily. Do you get it?"

Wang Wei, "???"
