I Truly Am The Villian-Chapter 1069 - 1068: Azure Snake City, Witch Demon Calamity

Chapter 1069: Chapter 1068: Azure Snake City, Witch Demon Calamity

“Passing through the border of our Linlong Dynasty, the Qianniu Taoist Court lies ahead.”

Lin Yunhen explained with a smile, “Actually, our Linlong Dynasty is also under the rule of the Qianniu Taoist Court.”

“Why do they want to kill you?” Xia Wanqing asked.

“Who knows? People from the Ancient Path always take money without asking the reason,” Lin Yunhen replied.

“Regardless, you saved me, and if there’s anything I can help with in the future, just say the word.”

Xu Zimei shook his head with a wry smile as the sky darkened.

Rain began to drizzle in the sky.

Whipped up by the wind, the sandstorm obscured vision, making it hard to see.

“Do you know of any place nearby where we can rest?” Xu Zimei asked.

“There’s an Azure Snake City ahead, but it’s quite a distance,” Lin Yunhen thought for a moment before responding.

“Then all of you get on the Demon Dragon’s back, it’ll be faster,” Xu Zimei suggested.

The two nodded and carefully climbed onto the back of the Demon Dragon.

Suddenly, a thunderous dragon roar sounded, and the huge body of the Seven-Winged Demon Dragon soared into the firmament.

It wasn’t long before it turned into a small black spot and disappeared.

……

Azure Snake City is not a human settlement.

It is a territory belonging to the Azure Snake race.

Half-human, half-snake; their upper bodies resemble humans but their lower halves are serpent.

The Azure Snake race has always been on good terms with the human race, and humans can also enter this city, which accepts the rule of the Linlong Dynasty.

From above, Azure Snake City is a medium-sized city.

Even in such bad weather, the city is still bustling with activity.

Xu Zimei said to the Seven-Winged Demon Dragon, “Find a place to stay; bringing you into the city might cause panic.”

The Seven-Winged Demon Dragon set down the three figures and then took off with a flap of its wings.

In front of the huge city gate, there is a statue of the Azure Snake Empress.

Her appearance is beautiful and captivating.

Just like Kala, numerous small snakes are woven into her hair in the back.

She still has a human head and a snake’s body.

“This is the first Clan Leader of the Azure Snake race,” Lin Yunhen explained.

“It was she who led the weak Azure Snake race to its present size and gained recognition from the human race.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

Therefore, all subsequent generations commemorate her.”

“Are all of the Azure Snake race in this city?” Xia Wanqing asked.

“Not all, most of them live in the jungle, in those narrow, humid environments.

They rarely come into contact with the outside world,” Lin Yunhen said.

“The Azure Snake Empress didn’t want to live like that, so she led some of her people away.

Later, she helped an ancestor of our Linlong Dynasty tremendously, so the ancestor specially opened up this city for them to live in.

Moreover, descendants are not allowed to disturb them.”

The group entered the city, and ninety percent of the creatures on the streets were Azure Snakes.

There were only a few of other races.

A thunderclap rang out from the firmament, followed by large raindrops starting to fall from the sky.

“Let’s find an inn first,” Lin Yunhen suggested.

Xu Zimei nodded and casually walked into an inn.

“Have you heard? Recently, there have been frequent deaths of creatures around Azure Snake City.

And the deaths are gruesome; it’s unknown what monster caused them.”

“But it’s always other races that die, our Azure Snake race seems to have had no incidents yet.”

“If a clan member really got injured, the Elders would have likely sealed off the city by now.”

Just as they entered the inn, they heard several Azure Snake people discussing something.

Nobody minded; there are many strange things in this world, and they won’t be staying long anyway.

However, after Lin Yunhen entered the inn, his gaze stayed continuously on several people at another table.

Those three people were dressed in wide, black robes that enveloped their entire bodies.

They didn’t utter a single word while eating.

“What’s wrong?” Xia Wanqing asked.

Lin Yunhen shook his head slightly, not until those three left.

Next to the inn was placed a coffin; those three people carried the coffin and walked out of the inn in heavy rain.

“Let’s follow and see,” Lin Yunhen said gravely.

“Do you know them?” Xia Wanqing asked, puzzled.

“Do you know about the Witch Demon?” Lin Yunhen asked.

“How could we not know,” Xia Wanqing nodded, her face suddenly turning pale.

“You mean they are Witch Demons?”

“Not sure, but I sensed an aura,” Lin Yunhen flipped open his coat and took out a jade pendant.

The jade pendant was golden, carved with a Divine Dragon on the surface.

At this moment, a black line was spreading out from the middle of the jade pendant.

“This jade pendant was given to me by my father when I became the Crown Prince,” Lin Yunhen explained.

“It can identify many different types of power.

This black line appeared when I passed by that coffin.”

“What is a Witch Demon?” Xu Zimei asked, puzzled.

“You’ve never heard of the disaster of the Witch Demon?” Lin Yunhen looked at him in surprise.

“He has amnesia, he doesn’t know many things,” Xia Wanqing quickly explained.

Then she looked at Xu Zimei and said: “In our Mortal Domain, a great disaster once occurred, historically known as the Witch Demon disaster.

It was later subdued under the leadership of the Brahma Demon Great Saint.

The whole Mortal Domain then established a common decree to apprehend those surviving Witch Demons.”

“Let’s follow and see,” Lin Yunhen said.

If Azure Snake City indeed has connections with the Witch Demons, then it’s going to be troublesome.

After all, Azure Snake City is within their Linlong Dynasty’s territory; whatever happens, their Linlong Dynasty will certainly be first in line.

Xia Wanqing also quickly nodded.

Xu Zimei initially did not want to get involved, but he followed the two of them out.

Outside, the rain was pouring heavily, completely flooding the whole street.

Yet the people of the Azure Snake clan were not afraid of the rain at all, they were still walking on the streets as usual, undisturbed.

“Over there,” Lin Yunhen pointed towards the corner, where the two black-robed people had just disappeared.

“Don’t follow too closely, to avoid being discovered.”

Xia Wanqing reminded.

The three of them continued to follow this way, walking for ten more minutes, until the black-robed people finally stopped in front of a courtyard.

They rhythmically knocked on that courtyard.

It seemed like a secret signal.

Immediately, the courtyard door opened, and another black-robed figure came out.

That black-robed person looked around briefly, eventually letting the people in, along with the coffin.

“They’ve gone in,” Lin Yunhen said.

“What should we do?”

“Aren’t you the Crown Prince of the Linlong Dynasty?” Xia Wanqing said.

“Just go directly to the City Lord of Azure Snake City and have him search this place.”

“But if the City Lord is colluding, wouldn’t that scare off the snakes in the grass,” Lin Yunhen responded.

“You two stay here, I’m going in to have a look,” Xu Zimei said.

With his power, he could approach the courtyard unnoticed, but the same might not be true for the other two.

“Thank you,” Lin Yunhen said.

Xu Zimei gradually stepped out, his figure disappearing into the void amid the heavy rain.
