Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Chapter 468 Breath

"Who dares to commit violence in our city lord's mansion? Aren't they afraid of being exterminated?"

"Damn it! Is it another gang of robbers?"

"But this time I must wipe them all out, otherwise how can I explain to the city lord?"

"You must investigate this matter immediately. We must go to the city lord's mansion right away and tell the city lord about it."

"Hurry! We need to get out of here quickly!"

"Yes! I'll go investigate right away."

As everyone left, the entire city lord's mansion instantly fell silent.

Only Xu Yao remained standing there.

Corpses lay all around him, and blood stained the ground.

Xu Yao coldly glanced around before walking directly into the city lord's mansion.

Xu Yao was also secretly shocked at this moment.

He never imagined that simply releasing his aura would cause so many people to lose their lives.

Although Xu Yao has reached the third-tier Martial Venerable, he has not yet entered the Martial Emperor realm.

His strength was only at the first-tier Martial Venerable level.

If it were any other Martial Venerable, they would have been terrified and wetting themselves in this situation, but Xu Yao was not afraid at all, but rather delighted.

He needs battles like this now; only through constant fighting can he unleash his potential.

Xu Yao walked step by step on the blood-soaked ground, exuding a terrifying aura.

The oppressive aura caused violent fluctuations in the surrounding space.

Xu Yao stopped at the entrance of a large hall, pushed open the door, and entered the hall.

The hall was filled with all sorts of people.

These people were sitting in chairs, and they looked very pale and weak.

Their gazes were blank and lifeless, staring at something in the distance, as if they weren't looking at this place at all.

Instead, it was another world, and their gazes were all vacant, as if they had no focus at all.

Their faces all had very strange mouths.

They all looked extremely dry, like skeletons.

Their eyes were empty and lifeless, devoid of any spirit.

Xu Yao couldn't help but frown upon seeing this.

"What's going on?" Xu Yao asked upon seeing this scene.

Upon hearing Xu Yao's words, the seated cultivators seemed not to have seen him at all.

They remained in the same posture, without any change.

Upon seeing this scene, Xu Yao's heart sank.

"Are they all dead? But didn't the guard just tell him who these people were? How could this be?"

At that moment, Xu Yao noticed that there was a person sitting in the middle of the group.

This person must be quite young, probably only seventeen or eighteen years old, and his purple-gold robe was dazzling.

In his hand was an ancient jade tablet with four large, elegant characters that read "City Lord's Token".

It is engraved with a dragon pattern, so lifelike that it seems to be a real creature.

Next to the city lord's token hung a plaque that read "City Lord's Mansion".

When Xu Yao saw the words "City Lord's Mansion," his heart skipped a beat.

"Could this be the Demon King?" Xu Yao wondered to himself.

He couldn't help but take a closer look at the man's face and found that his features were somewhat similar to those of the city lord.

Xu Yao couldn't help but wonder, "Could it really be him?"

Thinking of this, Xu Yao couldn't help but feel nervous.

His current level is too low; he is simply no match for the Demon King.

"No! I absolutely cannot let him know I was here!" Xu Yao thought to himself.

"Go and summon the city lord," Xu Yao said to one of his subordinates.

Upon hearing this, the subordinate nodded and ran off into the distance.

Not long after, a majestic voice rang out.

"Xu Yao, what business do you have with me, the city lord?" the voice continued after saying that.

"I don't care about your background, but since you dare to cause trouble in my city lord's mansion, you won't leave here alive today."

At the same time that sound rang out, several people ran over from outside and blocked the gate of the city lord's mansion.

Xu Yao watched this scene without feeling any worry.

"Demon King, you are really domineering! You actually want to let me leave your city lord's mansion alive?" Xu Yao smiled faintly.

"Unfortunately, I not only do not want to leave, but I also plan to demolish your city lord's mansion."

Upon hearing Xu Yao's words, the city lord's face immediately darkened.

"You brat! I advise you to get out of here quickly! Otherwise, you won't be able to leave later!" the city lord sneered.

"Is that so?" Xu Yao sneered.

"However, I do have a few questions for you. Do you know your crime?"

"Oh? You want to know my crimes? Very well, then tell me." The city lord sneered.

"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony," Xu Yao said.

"What do you want to ask?" the city lord asked.

"Lord City Lord, do you know about the soul stones in this area?" Xu Yao asked.

"What soul stone? Aren't you from this area?"

"Haha! Of course not! I'm just an ordinary martial artist."

"But that's not all I want; I also want that Soul Stone."

"What soul stone? Explain yourself." The city lord couldn't help but snort coldly.

Xu Yao didn't waste any words. He took out the soul stone from his storage ring and tossed it to the city lord.

"Just this one."

"Hmm? Just one soul stone?" The city lord looked at the soul stone with some doubt.

However, upon seeing the enormous black shadow on the soul stone, the city lord's pupils constricted involuntarily.

Because he knew that the dragon on the soul stone looked very similar to the dragon pattern in their city lord's mansion.

"Could he really be the successor of that demon king?"

Upon seeing the soul stone, the city lord couldn't help but secretly speculate.

"Alright! You can have the Soul Stones, but you have to tell me what you want them for?"

"I want to use these soul stones to refine a pill."

"The pills refined from these soul stones are of vital importance to the people of your plane," Xu Yao said slowly.

"I haven't heard of that before," the city lord said, shaking his head.

"But since you want it, I will give it to you. However, I hope that you will help our city well in the future and never do bad things again."
