Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!



****

A group of Clan Elders gathered outside the majestic mansion, anticipating what was about to unfold. Time seemed to stand still as a serene silence enveloped the atmosphere.

They couldn't hear anything inside. Many wanted to go on to check, but the Warriors of the Royal Army prevented them.

Some soldiers also held Yunxi and her maid, who struggled fiercely to enter the mansion to save the Former Emperor. Unfortunately, the soldiers didn't allow her to enter, at least not until their General returned, since it was the General who locked the two ladies out.

The silence was deafening. But that scary silence was soon broken by the sound of footsteps.

The footsteps didn't belong to just one person. There was another pair mixed in. All the Clan Elders laid attention to the hallway.

Soon, they saw a person. It was the General! The General was finally back. However, for some reason, the Clan Elders felt that something was wrong.

The General... His face was expressionless. He didn't appear like himself. The Clan Elders didn't understand what this feeling was, but the General didn't appear like himself.

Soon, another person came into sight, behind the General! It was a young man, seemingly in his early twenties.

Although the Clan Elders had heard about the description of the young man who was staying in the mansion according to the rumors, the young man behind the General didn't match those description.

The Young man's age matched the description. He also looked handsome, with flawless skin. But that's where the similarities ended.

The man's hair was different from the description. The young man now had a beautiful shade of silver hair that appeared even more beautiful.

His left eye was a dark shade of red, while his right eye held a dark shade, creating a contrast with his left pupil.

What stunned the men was that within the man's eyes, they could see a Star Sign! It was the Sign of a Celestial Spirit! What was truly shocking was that both his eyes had a mark like that! That implied he had two fully awakened Celestial Spirits!

The men only saw a single star mark, which meant both his Celestial Spirits were weakest. But if they were to look carefully from close, they would have noticed that within that single star, multiple small stars were visible. The number of those small stars was so high that it was impossible to count!

The man had two Celestial Spirits, but none of them were one star, contrary to what they thought.

Behind Xu Shan, another person became visible. It was the Former Emperor. But the Former Emperor was covered in blood. He couldn't even walk straight. He was limping.

The Former Emperor was the only one who truly recognized the extraordinary fortune he had to survive. Moments before, he had nearly resigned himself to hopelessness. However, his gratitude was reserved solely for Xu Shan, whose intervention ultimately saved his life.

Strangely, the Former Emperor also had a look of confusion on his face. He didn't know what just happened previously.

He thought that the General was going to ask Xu Shan some questions, or at least there was going to be a fight, but nothing like that happened. And what actually happened was unclear and didn't make any sense to the Former Emperor.

As the General emerged from the grand mansion, Xu Shan opted to stay behind, lingering just inside the entrance with his hands nonchalantly tucked into his pockets.

The General didn't look at the Clan Elders. He just walked over to one of his soldiers. He didn't say anything to the Soldier. He simply held the Sword of the Soldier from its hilt, and pulled it out.

The Soldier stared at the General with a perplexed expression, unsure of why his Sword was required. Little did he know, the subsequent events would send shockwaves through all who witnessed it.

The General took a few steps back, still looking expressionless. Before anyone could react, the General placed the sword over his throat, and swung the Sword!

In front of everyone, the General decapitated himself! Blood splattered everywhere as one of the strongest warriors of the Empire died, just like that. He had killed himself!

The General's head rolled over, falling to the ground with his body. Silence fell over the crowd as they stood in disbelief, unable to comprehend the magnitude of what they had just witnessed.

Chaos ensued as panic and shock consumed the onlookers, unsure of how to react or make sense of the General's inexplicable act of self-destruction. Word of the General's gruesome demise quickly spread throughout the kingdom, leaving the people in a state of both mourning and utter shock.

The word even reached the Royal Palace. No one understood why the General did that! One moment, he entered the mansion to talk to Xu Shan and when he came out, he killed himself! Almost everyone had a feeling that it was because of Xu Shan, but they didn't understand how.

How was a man able to force the General to kill himself like that?! Even if an invincible enemy was before them, the General would've fought to his death. He never would've killed himself like that! Fear wasn't the answer!

The strange sight made all the Clan Elders frightened. They didn't know how Xu Shan did it, but they didn't want to know either. They were so frightened that they slowly stepped back, moving away from the mansion.

Xu Shan glanced at the people who were leaving. He didn't ask them to stop. Instead, he glanced at the Soldiers who were keeping Yunxi hostage.

His right eye shone for a brief moment. In the next second, the Soldiers removed his hand from Yunxi. Following that, he also did the same. He brought the sword close to his throat and took his life.

Yunxi stood in disbelief as the soldier's blood splashed all over her. She looked at Xu Shan. For the first time, she saw what seemed like a devilish smile on Xu Shan's face, as if the man was enjoying the spectacle that he had created this time.
