I, the Destined Villain, Start by Controlling the Saint

Manipulation behind the scenes, collective attackThe door to the Treasure Vault was blasted open by the impatient Cultivators outside.

The light from outside streamed in, illuminating everything within the Treasure Vault with perfect clarity.

A disheveled youth, looking pale and weak, stood at the entrance.

From his attire, one could barely make out that it was a Daoist robe from the Sacred Institute.

The Cultivators outside rushed in without a second thought, surrounding the youth.

It was Ye Tian.

The Cultivators who rushed in watched Ye Tian warily, fearing he might slip away.

Ye Tian knew the situation was dire, ’Oh no!’

Although he had completed his Breakthrough, this Breakthrough was too painful, almost exhausting all of his magical power.

He was now weak all over, his strength less than half of his peak!

The people surging in now numbered at least eight thousand, if not ten thousand, and these individuals were all Core Disciples from various sects and factions, their strength not to be underestimated.

If he were at his peak, he naturally wouldn’t fear them.

But now, with insufficient strength, he had to choose: endure!

”Everyone, what is the meaning of this?” Ye Tian took a deep breath, calming his weak aura to avoid showing fear.

A young Cultivator smiled and said, ”Actually, it’s nothing much, just a bit curious, when did this Fellow Daoist come in, and how long have you been here?”

Although he spoke with a smile, the hostility in his eyes was very obvious.

What if the other party was a Disciple of the Sacred Institute?

This was the Legacy land of the Eternal Sacred King, and the allure of the Legacy was greater than the threat of the Sacred Institute.

It was worth taking the risk!

Not just this one person, the other Cultivators also shared the same thought; the allure of the Legacy was greater than the threat of the Sacred Institute.

Everyone stared intently at Ye Tian, fearing he would escape.

From the moment they discovered the anomaly to entering the Treasure Vault, there was a time difference of one month.

Clearly, they all believed that Ye Tian had already turned the place upside down during that month and had surely collected all the good things.

So, the first thing they did upon entering was not to search for treasures, but to block Ye Tian.

”Calm down, don’t show fear,” Ye Tian told himself inwardly.

As expected of a Child of Destiny who could use hundreds of millions of people as bait to slaughter the Demon Race, to him, this was a minor scene.

Ye Tian chuckled, ”Indeed, I entered a bit earlier than you all.”

”However, during this past month, I have been entirely focused on healing my injuries and have not searched for any treasures. I can swear to the heavens that I haven’t searched a single palace inside.”

”You all must have seen it too; thousands of miles outside, there are traces of a fierce battle. I fought fiercely with the Puppets guarding this place and suffered some injuries. This past month has been entirely spent on healing.”

Ye Tian knew that everyone’s gaze was on him, and they all suspected that he had turned the place upside down and pocketed all the treasures.

Wealth moves hearts; he had to clear himself of this suspicion.

”Oh?”

”It seems so, there were signs of a fight on the way here, and two broken Puppets along with a lot of blood.”

”That’s right, there must be guards in the Secret Realm, that much is true.”

Clearly, many people had seen the traces of battle on the way.

Ye Tian breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, the remaining battle traces served as corroborating evidence for him.

Among the crowd, Xiao Fan and Miao Xiaoqing were also mixed in, only Miao Xiaoqing was in her cat form, nestled in Xiao Fan’s arms.

Her eyes watched everything intently, with a hint of solemnity.

”What a formidable fellow, he can remain so calm in such a situation.”

”The threat is too great!”

She became increasingly convinced that Ye Tian was more dangerous than Ouyang Ke.

”Master, can you kill him?” Miao Xiaoqing transmitted her voice.

Xiao Fan stroked her belly, gently caressing her head, but did not respond to her words.

His gaze towards Ye Tian also showed a rare seriousness. ’He’s calm enough. Such a calm opponent, I can’t let you live too long.’

”Just wait to be attacked by the crowd,” Xiao Fan thought to himself.

Returning to the Cultivators surrounding Ye Tian, they did not let him go because of his explanation.

When it came to Legacy, nothing could be taken lightly.

”Words mean nothing,” someone immediately said.
