Villain : After Slacking Off, The Protagonist Collapse

As time went on, fewer and fewer people investigated the Mixed Yuan Dao Body’s cave.

Most people realized they couldn’t open the cave unless they were Jiang Chen with his Origin Dao Body.

But since there was no news from the Primordial Holy Land, people lost interest, and the large cave gradually returned to its previous deserted state.

In a gloomy space.

“This Primordial Holy Land is quite cautious. This is the fifth time they’ve come to investigate!” Tianxiang frowned, looking slightly impatient.

They had been waiting here for nearly two months for Jiang Chen, but during this time, they hadn’t seen Jiang Chen, only elders from the Primordial Holy Land coming and going cautiously, afraid of being noticed.

“What’s the rush!”

“This just shows that the Primordial Holy Land is interested in this place. If the Holy Son of the Primordial Holy Land comes directly, I would be more suspicious!”

“But after five investigations, it should be about time. The Holy Son of the Primordial Holy Land will probably come soon! What news do we have from the Primordial Holy Lord?” Anying asked Heitian.

“The Primordial Holy Master is at the Pure Yang Holy Land, and has been there for a month, discussing matters with the high-level figures of the Pure Yang Holy Land!”

“She’s still at the Pure Yang Holy Land and hasn’t left!” Heitian replied.

Anying said, “It seems the Holy Son of the Primordial Holy Land will come. The Primordial Holy Master’s presence is a distraction to mislead other forces, so they won’t come here, and then they can secretly come here!”

“This is a tactic to mislead, and the Holy Son of the Primordial Holy Land should arrive here soon!”

Whether it was the five investigations or the Primordial Holy Master’s stay at the Pure Yang Holy Land.

It all made Shadow more certain that this was a ruse by the Primordial Holy Land to mislead other forces and then secretly come to this place.

“Will he really come?” Yinhun’s sharp voice echoed, fitting the saying.

An ever-present ghost and the sharp voice was like a wailing ghost.

“Naturally!” Anying said calmly, “These actions show they’re interested. Within half a month, they should secretly come here!”

“The Origin Dao Body’s comprehension is too important for the Holy Son of the Primordial Holy Land. He can’t give it up! We just need to wait and catch him!” Anying’s voice was confident, as if he had already seen Jiang Chen appear.

The others’ expressions changed but then relaxed and thought it made sense. If there were no interest, they wouldn’t have sent elders to investigate multiple times.

They were just scouting the area, waiting for the right time to come.

Pure Yang Holy Land, in the grand hall.

The Pure Yang Holy Master looked at the Dongfang Mingyue and said, “Are you sure the Heavenly Domain will target you? And where is this Pure Yang Root you mentioned?”

Speaking of the Pure Yang Root, both the Pure Yang Holy Master and the Sun God King showed eager expressions. This item was extremely important to them.

Especially for the Pure Yang Divine Body, it was akin to the Convergence Flower for Zi Qingyan. If obtained, the Pure Yang Divine Body would transform.

Talent, physical body, and cultivation would all significantly improve. In the past, the Pure Yang Emperor had used the Pure Yang Root to dominate the world, rising swiftly.

Since then, each generation of the Pure Yang Holy Land sought the Pure Yang Root, but it was exceedingly rare, not appearing for hundreds of thousands of years.

Though it had appeared before, it wasn’t obtained by the Pure Yang Holy Land.

“Of course, when have I ever deceived you? And stop asking about the Pure Yang Root. When the time is right, I’ll tell you!”

“Even if I told you now, you couldn’t get it, and it might disappear! Do you want to take that risk or wait until we can safely acquire it?” Dongfang Mingyue’s tone was cold, expressionless.

Her cold demeanor and strong aura made the Pure Yang Hply Master and others lower their heads.

Outside, Dongfang Mingyue was always like this: cold and aloof, without expression, like a block of ice, but with Jiang Chen or Mu Jianxue, she was different.

Nothing like the rumored cold fairy, peerless in grace. Such words didn’t fit her at all.

“Naturally, we want to secure it! But how did you know the Heavenly Domain would target you? Was it through the Void Hall?” The Pure Yang Holy Master was like a curious child, constantly voicing his curiosity.

He was intrigued because the Primordial Holy Land had so much secret information recently, almost prophetic. Whether it was the Ancient Desolate Demon Realm’s plots or the Heavenly Domain’s assassination attempts.

The Primordial Holy Land seemed to know everything. This made the Pure Yang Holy Master extremely curious and slightly fearful.

Information was crucial for great powers like theirs. Knowing in advance meant more chances of survival. Without the Primordial Holy Land’s information, they would’ve been surrounded and killed by the Ancient Desolate Demon Realm long ago.

Dongfang Mingyue was too tired to answer and couldn’t reveal Jiang Chen’s identity yet. If it was exposed, it would cause trouble even if they were already universally opposed.

Meanwhile.

At the Banished Immortal Peak.

Jiang Chen left the Primordial Holy Land with the Void Hall. He didn’t make a grand exit nor bring Yan Ruyu and the others.

He quietly left, unnoticed.

After leaving the Primordial Holy Land, he arrived at the cave’s location. The cave was now desolate, with no one in sight for miles.

It seemed completely abandoned.

Jiang Chen didn’t reveal his aura deliberately. He only appeared in front of the cave.

The moment he appeared, the entire Heavenly Domain organization was elated.

‘He’s finally here!’ Tianxiang licked his lips, having waited too long for this moment.

The others were also ready, eyes fixed on Jiang Chen.

“Wait to strike!” Anying was very patient. Even though Jiang Chen had appeared, he didn’t move, as if waiting for something.

Boom.

Several powerful auras surged, transforming into palms, striking towards Jiang Chen.

Almost simultaneously.

Sword light surged, destroying all the palms and continuing into the void.

Boom, boom, boom.

The void shattered, and several corpses fell, crashing to the ground. Mu Jianxue emerged, scanning the void, filled with killing intent.

“Attack!” Anying’s eyes gleamed, and he gave the command.

With his command, three terrifying auras soared, and three figures stood in the sky like chaotic demons, their powerful presence enveloping the entire world, shattering the void as if it were the end of the world!

Seeing the three figures, Jiang Chen’s lips curled into a strange smile. This was exactly what he had been waiting for!
