The Destiny Villainess Wants Me To Work!

Shen Kai calmly pushed Wu Haruto’s hand away.

"Don’t believe me?"

"Fine. The war has already begun."

"Come with us and witness everything with your own eyes."

He then turned toward the elders and cultivators standing behind him.

"Everyone... Let’s go. It’s time to end that menace."

"Yes, Great Elder!"

"Leave it to us!"

"We’ll kill that monster with our own hands!"

Under the stunned gazes of Wu Haruto and his supporters, Shen Kai led everyone toward the direction of the explosions without another word.

One of Wu Haruto’s followers hesitated before asking,

"Sect Master... what should we do?"

Wu Haruto stared at Shen Kai’s departing figure with an increasingly ugly expression.

After a long moment, he finally spoke.

"...We’ll follow them."

Regardless of whether Shen Kai was telling the truth or had completely lost his mind, he had to see everything with his own eyes.

And if it turned out that Shen Kai had fabricated all of this... He would personally kill him.

***

Back in time.

When Wu Taeyong had entered the sect prison in search of Su Mo and the others, his footsteps suddenly came to a halt.

His gaze swept across the entrance, where several prison guards lay unconscious on the ground.

A faint smile slowly appeared on his aged face.

"So this is where the rats have been hiding."

"Perfect."

"I remember there is still a sacrifice I captured years ago. I can bring him back together with them."

His mood immediately improved.

Without another thought, Wu Taeyong stepped deeper into the prison.

The prisoners inside were as noisy as ever, shouting and cursing from behind their cells as though nothing had changed. However, after taking only a few more steps, Wu Taeyong’s brows furrowed slightly. He had caught the faint scent of blood lingering in the air.

His spiritual sense instantly spread throughout the underground prison.

’Found you.’

’Two Golden Core cultivators...’

The next moment, his eyes widened.

’...and a Nascent Soul cultivator?!’

His breathing unconsciously quickened.

For a brief moment, even Wu Taeyong was caught by surprise.

Had someone broken through?

He clearly remembered that Su Mo and Song Meilin had only been at Golden Core Stage Level One.

Naturally, he mistook Yang Qingxi’s aura for Song Meilin’s and immediately ruled both of them out.

That left only one possibility.

The Peak Golden Core cultivator he had imprisoned years ago.

"Dowblis Snake..." Wu Taeyong’s smile gradually widened.

"I didn’t expect you possessed enough talent to break through into the Nascent Soul Stage."

Instead of becoming cautious, he became even more delighted.

Originally, he had intended to sacrifice the remaining Golden Core cultivators to complete the ceremony.

Now... That was no longer necessary.

A single Nascent Soul cultivator was worth far more than all of them combined.

With excitement filling his heart, Wu Taeyong completely ignored the two Golden Core auras and rushed directly toward the Nascent Soul aura.

Moments later, he arrived at the deeper section of the prison.

As expected... The owner of that aura was indeed Dowblis Snake.

The restraints that had once imprisoned him had already been shattered, and the prison cell stood completely open. Behind him stood a group of Foundation Building cultivators who had evidently escaped together with him.

Wu Taeyong merely glanced at them before losing interest.

Foundation Building cultivators were nothing more than ants in his eyes.

His greedy gaze remained fixed entirely on Dowblis Snake.

Slowly walking toward him, Wu Taeyong smiled like an old hunter who had unexpectedly stumbled upon valuable prey.

"Is this the surprise you prepared for me, Snake?"

"I have to admit... I’m delighted!"

Dowblis Snake met his gaze without the slightest hint of fear.

"You old rat! You actually dare show your face in front of me!"

Wu Taeyong merely chuckled. "Quite an attitude."

"So you’ve become courageous after entering the Nascent Soul Stage?"

He leisurely shook his head.

"Fool. You have no idea how enormous the gap between our strengths truly is."

Dowblis Snake let out a cold sneer.

"How would I know if I don’t try?"

"Your cultivation may be higher...but you’re already an old man with one foot in the grave."

He looked Wu Taeyong up and down before speaking with open ridicule.

"How much of your combat strength can you still display?"

"80%? 70%?"

"Don’t tell me..."

"...it’s not even sixty."

Wu Taeyong’s smile gradually disappeared.

"You truly are an insolent brat."

He calmly rolled his shoulders before stretching his stiff old bones.

"It seems... I’ll have to show you your place before taking you away."

Throughout the entire exchange, he never once regarded Dowblis Snake and the twenty or so Foundation Building cultivators behind him as a genuine threat.

As Wu Taeyong casually took another step forward, Dowblis Snake suddenly spoke.

"Watch your step."

"Hm?"

Wu Taeyong instinctively swept his spiritual sense beneath his feet.

There was only a small cluster of ants.

He paid it no attention.

His foot landed.

The instant it touched the ground, an intense sense of danger exploded inside his mind.

’What—?!’

Before the thought could fully form...

BOOM!!

A violent explosion erupted directly beneath his feet. It was as though he had stepped onto a hidden landmine.

Before the first explosion had even ended—

BOOM!!

Another followed.

Then another.

BOOM!!

BOOM!!

KABOOM!!

The underground prison shook violently as one explosion triggered the next in rapid succession, forming a continuous chain reaction.

Dowblis Snake and the others had already taken cover beforehand. Even so, the scorching shockwaves swept over them, causing their robes to flutter violently.

Wu Taeyong reacted at the last possible moment. His spiritual energy surged outward, instantly forming a protective barrier around his body.

However, everything had happened too suddenly. The first explosion had already reached him before the barrier fully formed, while the following explosions continuously hammered against it without giving him a chance to recover.

After more than a dozen deafening explosions, the underground prison finally fell into silence, and the raging flames gradually subsided.
