Everyday I Get up to See the Villain Stealing the Show 97

With all the excitement, it was like thunder exploded through the crowd!

At first sight, the people who arrived in black were extraordinary. The leader was extremely muscular and fierce. Looking at his face, he looked the part of a very evil person. If he said he was a member of the demonic cult, then he was a member of the demonic cult! Everyone would believe him, no questions asked. 

But, the problem was that Han Changsheng didn’t even know these people! Although he was the leader of fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, he was also the leader of the sect. He’d seen the faces of thousands of people from the top and bottom of the Tianning Cult. Besides that, several forces outside the sect had specific clothes. But he didn’t know any of the people before him. Dressed in black, they were definitely not an auxiliary force outside the sect. However, these people actually bowed to him! And called him the. Freaking. Cult. Leader. 

An Yuan was shocked. He looked at Han Changsheng strangely and whispered, “So you are…” 

“No! I’m not!” Han Changsheng denied immediately, a thin layer of cold sweat on his back. What a joke, An Yuan could think that he could be anyone else, but he could never find his true identity!

After a moment of panic, Han Changsheng soon calmed, then pressed his hand on his sword’s hilt and asked coldly, “Who are you?” 

The leader of the men in black was puzzled. “The sect leader sent a red smoke order to summon us here. Why…” 

As soon as they heard the people of the demonic cult were coming, a random person couldn’t hold back. He already jumped out of the crowd and started attacking the men in black with a knife.

“Wait a minute!” The old man cried, “I haven’t figured it out yet, don’t do anything!” 

“What’s more to explain? The demons are here! Don’t you want to catch the demons?!”

The man in black looked at him coldly and didn’t flinch. When the knife came to his eyes, he clamped his fingers to stop the blade. With just a little more effort, the knife shattered. In the single move, it was obvious he was highly skilled in martial arts. He was by no means an unremarkable person. However, he was also anxious to make a move. His martial arts were low compared to a master, and he was reckless. A man with a clear eye could see his level at a glance. If a master were to arrive, the man would never dare to make a move. 

The man in black only broke the man’s weapon, but he didn’t hurt anyone. Now that they had already moved their hands, the people couldn’t sit still anymore. Impulsively, those who wanted to grab the limelight drew their weapons and rushed to fight the people in black. 

Han Changsheng squinted. Suddenly, he drew his sword and moved into the crowd. He didn’t help anyone and dropped any weapon when he saw it. Whether it was a martial artist or a man in black who claimed to be from the demonic cult, he sealed the acupoints of all who came before him. 

“Stop it, every one of you!” Han Changsheng yelled, swinging his sword away, driving many people back. At that moment, he didn’t care whether he would expose his martial arts skills in front of An Yuan. 

Han Changsheng not only had the profound internal strength that Old Man Xuanji had built for decades but also the sword skills he’d learned from Elder Lan Fang. With one move, he swept out and suppressed the crowd. Even those who weren’t close to him were deterred by his momentum. They didn’t dare come forward on the periphery. 

Han Changsheng took back his sword and coldly asked, “Is this enough trouble?” 

Han Changsheng’s acupuncture stopped those who were most anxious to fight, and the rest dared not rush forward, they just waited for a while. 

A man huddled behind the crowd exclaimed, “What else do you have to say? The people of the demonic cult are here! I didn’t expect Huangfu to collude with the people of the demonic cult…” 

“Shut up!” Han Changsheng said, “First, this force has nothing to do with Huangfu Fengxuan Xichen. I just met with him by chance and don’t know him very well!” Whether the old man was truthful or not, he knew many things. Han Changsheng hadn’t figured it out yet. Regardless, he had to take care of An Yuan first. An Yuan looked at him in amazement. 

“Second, I don’t know any of these people in black. As for them calling me lord…. If I really was the leader of the demonic cult, these people would not be worthy of being my subordinates!” 

His momentum shocked everyone. For a long time, many showed confused looks on their faces as they watched the drama full of fog. 

“Who are you and what is your purpose?” Han Changsheng asked the man in black. 

The man in black said, “the leader’s flare called my subordinates…” 

“Utter rubbish!” Han Changsheng said, “Have you seen the red smoke order? Do you know what it looks like? Red smoke order is called red smoke order because the smoke is red! The smoke I just put out is yellow! Yellow! Are you all color blind? Ah!” 

The man in black opened his mouth and said nothing. 

“A bunch of idiots. Even if I was the leader of the demonic cult, would I release real red smoke in public? Would I really call in the demonic cult? They say they are people of the demonic cult, do you really believe them? Look at this big guy, looks like… Tsk, tsk, he’s so damn ugly! Do you think the people of the demonic cult are ugly? I tell you, ugly people can’t even touch the door of the demonic cult. The Tianning Cult only accepts those with good looks… Well, that’s what I heard!” 

Everyone: “…” 

Han Changsheng went on, “If they really are members of the demonic cult, would they be afraid to beat you all down and calmly report to your family while they waited for you to fight? Would they expose their leader for fear that he would be besieged? Are you so stupid? Only smart people are accepted in the demonic sect! …I heard that, too!” 

A swordsman was unconvinced. “Words of sophistry! If not, how did Huangfu and Li Jiulong defeat the Ying Yue Sect and kill the top ten assassins?” 

Han Changsheng laughed. “You’re jealous. You know the top ten assassins very well. In our eyes, they were just a few ants that could be defeated with a twist. The top fifty killers weren’t worth seeing. Today’s events are simply too ridiculous. If you really aren’t stupid, you should understand it. As for those who want to commit crimes without hesitation… I have nothing to say. Even if I was the leader of the demonic cult, I would be a god in the sky and the devil in the world. What could you do to me?! If you’re unconvinced, come and ask about the sword in my hand!” He stood with his sword in hand, so domineering he stunned the onlookers. 

“Haha!” After hearing Han Changsheng’s generous speech, the strange old man laughed. He clapped his hands and all the men in black put away their weapons, jumped on their horses, and left. Some people wanted to give chase, and Han Changsheng was in the middle. The men in black rode away quickly, and no one could catch up to them. 

Han Changsheng stared coldly at the old man. It seemed that the people in black were at the old man’s disposal. Was this a deliberate framing?

The crowd was in an uproar when they saw that the men in black listened to the old man’s orders. The situation was very clear. They were afraid the old man was behind the scene. He framed Han Changsheng near the gate of the city and now used a scheme to slander them. 

“Who are you?” A swordsman stared at the old man. “Are you the leader of the demonic cult?” 

Han Changsheng really wanted to slam his fist into the idiot’s nose. He just said that the demonic cult only accepted beauties! How could such an ugly old man be compared with the leader of his cult!

The old man laughed but did not answer. 

Han Changsheng didn’t pay attention. In the chaos, An Yuan stared at him in silence. Since the arrival of the men in black, his palms were sweating. 

“Grab the old man, don’t let him run away!” He didn’t know who it was, but the quick reaction of several people had them running after the strange old man. 

The strange old man, however, changed his sick appearance and climbed on his horse’s back, just as one man reached for his foot. The man who came to grab him wound up empty-handed. As another man reached for his trouser leg, the old man jumped and landed on his shoulders. The man let out a strange cry, then reached up to grab him, only to grasp empty air again——the old man stepped on his head and jumped onto the roof. 

It surprised Han Changsheng and An Yuan that the old man was so agile. He was an absolute master of lightness skills! They were all deceived!

However, Han Changsheng couldn’t just let him run away like that. Although he’d committed a farce, the leader still shocked him. Maybe the old man knew something? So, he told An Yuan, “You wait here,” and used his lightness skills to chase the old man!

Regardless of the old man’s crooked stature, he really deserved the words as light as a sparrow. Several people chased after him, but they couldn’t even catch a hair of him. He jumped up and down on the roof and soon threw a large group of them away. He jumped down again into an alley and Han Changsheng immediately followed. 

Two people as stealthy as a cat and mouse walked through the streets and alleys. Han Changsheng exerted all his strength and could barely keep up. As for the others who had caught up, they’d already been duped. 

Suddenly, the old man stopped in a narrow alley with no one around.

Han Changsheng immediately stopped but didn’t act rashly. He put his hand on his scabbard and stared vigilantly at the old man. He didn’t want to act before he was completely sure, because once he did, it wouldn’t be easy to understand the old man’s purpose. 

“Who are you?” Han Changsheng asked. 

The old man laughed, then touched his scalp and tore off a mask. 

Han Changsheng frowned. It was not uncommon for the people in the nation to know how to change faces. The old man with the mask looked like an ordinary old farmer. After tearing off the mask to reveal his true face, he was just a stinky old man who looked more energetic. In a word, he certainly didn’t know the old man, even without the mask he was unfamiliar. 

The old man smiled and said, “I didn’t dare confirm it until I saw you make a move. Are you Li Jiulong?” 

Han Changsheng was noncommittal. To his surprise, not only the old man’s face changed, but his voice, as well. At that moment, his voice was like a bell. As soon as he spoke, he knew he had powerful internal strength. Before, he cared little about him and didn’t notice that he was squeezing his throat to pretend to be old. 

The old man spread his hands as if he was ready to deal with the matter. “What are you going to do with me now?” 

“What is your purpose?” Han Changsheng asked, “If you refuse to say it, don’t blame me for being rude to you!” 

The old man laughed. “What if I said my purpose was to frame you?” 

Han Changsheng raised his eyebrows and said, “You don’t have that ability, yet!” 

“Hahahaha! Good! Good!” The old man touched his palms and said, “I really didn’t see the wrong person!” 

Han Changsheng stared at him inexplicably. 

With a smile, the old man said, “I’m afraid you young people haven’t met me. In fact, I also went to the Wulin assembly. I noticed you when you were in the challenge arena, but I didn’t want to attract attention, so I never showed up.” 

Han Changsheng frowned. He didn’t want to attract anyone’s attention. That was to say, many people would know the old man at the conference? What kind of celebrity was he?

The old man went on, “At the Wulin meeting, I already started to pay attention to you. You’re good at martial arts, but you don’t like to be in the limelight. Before the Wulin Conference began, you beat others in the arena, but you didn’t show up again after the Wulin Conference began. I can see that you are a martial arts maniac. You have outstanding martial arts, but you don’t want to be famous.” 

Han Changsheng felt that something wasn’t right. “….” 

The old man said, “For the sake of justice, you can wipe out your relatives and expose your master in public, but you want to give credit to your younger martial brother. Unfortunately, the development of things seems to differ from your expectations.” 

Han Changsheng: “…” He could see it!

The old man turned around and said, “You destroyed the Ying Yue Sect, which makes me look at you with fresh eyes.” 

“Ah?” Han Changsheng was surprised. “What?” An Yuan destroyed the Ying Yue Sect, what was wrong with the man’s information?

Then, the old man said, “I deliberately waited for you on the road to test your mind. Seeing the weak needing help, I wanted to prove that you were good enough. I deliberately made trouble outside the city. If you had a little evil thought, you could make trouble for me, a helpless old man, while no one was around. But, you not only did not, but you still upheld kind thoughts and did good deeds until the end. This kind of mind is by no means ordinary.” 

“After entering the city, I made trouble and made you lose face in front of everyone. If your temper wasn’t stable enough, you would’ve left me with a wave of your hand. I’m afraid that would have disappointed me. But, you still didn’t, and you took me to the hospital for treatment. You had a beginning and an end to every problem. No matter your character or disposition, you convinced me you have a noble self.” 

Han Changsheng’s mouth twitched. “I said you can’t…” 

The old man smiled and said, “I challenged your bottom line again and set the game to wrong you in front of everyone. You must be furious? You know, although we boast of the right way in the Wulin, we don’t take it seriously. Everyone has a sense of justice. When a person is in a high enough position, it’s hard to avoid being heated and framed by villains. You are calm and devoted, and you can solve your misunderstandings. If that was all, you’d barely pass the test. What I am most satisfied with is your domineering spirit!” 

The old man said a lot in one breath, and while Han Changsheng’s mouth fell open, he couldn’t speak. 

“Although Lu Honghua’s character is also outstanding, as a Wulin leader, he lacks your domineering spirit. So, the Wulin Alliance is in stable hands, but it would be difficult to make any achievements. He knows this, so he wants to abdicate. You were wronged and framed. It was far from enough for soldiers to cover the water and soil. You have to know that there are far too many villains to guard against. Only you have this domineering spirit, let those who are jealous of you really have it. They do not have the ability to beat you, they can’t shake you. And, you will never be rash. Before you speak harshly, you also know to put your younger martial brother and disciples first for fear that innocent people will be implicated. You chased me so far that I can see you are definitely not a person who just tolerates bad behavior. You surprised me again and again, you have passed my test!” 

“So.” Han Changsheng was going crazy. “Who are you?!” 

The old man unloaded a snow-white dagger from his body and spoke with a smile. “Do you recognize this?” 

Han Changsheng looked at the dagger in his hand. It wasn’t ironware. It was made of an animal’s tooth. It was also very sharp and tough, judging from the luster. He was afraid it was far better than ironware. Animal teeth that could be made into daggers… was it a tiger’s tooth?

The old man said, “Back then, I subdued the Beishan tiger. I rode it out of the mountains and pulled out its tooth to make this dagger. Originally, I planned to give it to my successor, but Lu Honghua was very self-conscious and didn’t dare accept it. In fact, your younger martial brother Huangfu isn’t bad, but compared with you, he is still inferior. It’s a pity. Today, I will give it to you.”

Han Changsheng inhaled wildly. Beishan Tiger.. Tiger’s tooth dagger… Calling Lu Honghua… his successor… This old man was the old man Beihu!!! He was the leader of the Wulin Alliance before Lu Honghua!!!

At the end of the Wulin Conference, Lu Honghua requested to get the tokens of old man Beihu, Jiu Xian Feng Lai Ren, and Hua Yueniang before anyone was qualified to become the leader of the Wulin Alliance. Han Changsheng wanted to start with Jiu Xian Feng Lai Ren first. After all, they lived in Jiuxian Valley for a long time, and as long as he won, they could get the token. It was easiest to get it first. He didn’t expect to meet old man Beihu before they could reach Jiuxian Valley!

So, the farce just then… was something the old man Beihu set up just for him? Motherfucker, he was stubborn and just getting worse! He wanted An Yuan to get ahead, so how did it come back to him?!

The old man Beihu extended the dagger to Han Changsheng, but Han Changsheng hesitated and didn’t immediately go forward. The tiger’s tooth dagger should be what Lu Honghua meant, right? If he accepted the dagger and secretly gave it to An Yuan, then made An Yuan get the other two keepsakes, that would work as well, wouldn’t it? 

Han Changsheng hesitated for a while, but finally, he stepped up and reached for the dagger. As soon as he touched it, the old man Beihu reached out and slapped his arm. 

“Ouch!” Han Changsheng took the dagger and covered his arm. What was in the old man’s hand? Why did it hurt like he was being stabbed by a needle?

The old man laughed loudly. “Very well. The Tiger Tooth Dagger has been given to you. Go back. I have to find someone else. After all, you are not the only candidate. I need to see if anyone else can pass my test. To be honest, you are outstanding. I’m afraid no one can perform better than you. After passing my test, you still have Jiu Xian Feng Lai Ren and Hua Yueniang to persuade. I believe you can do that easily.” Han Changsheng laughed twice. Just kidding, in the future, he would definitely behave meekly and pretend to be a human being, so he should definitely not stand up in front of Jiu Xian Feng Lai Ren and Hua Yueniang, alright!

The old man Beihu yelled, “Go!” then turned around and jumped into a long alley. After a while, he ran out of sight.
