Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!

Chapter 125 125: True Nature

?

The night was dark and quiet. The stars twinkled in the sky, casting a faint glow over the surroundings. A soft breeze rustled the leaves on the trees, creating a soothing melody. The only sound was the distant hooting of an owl.

While the outside was so peaceful, the Duan Clan was bustling with activity. 

All the guests had arrived. Most of the influential people were already there, getting welcomed by the Duan Clan Members, who were keen on getting acquainted with these people as well. 

Most of the Experts from the continent came with their direct heir. Most came with daughters, while there were some who came with their young sons, hoping that their sons could become a follower of the Expert from the Upper Realm. 

The people from the Lower Realm couldn't enter the Upper Realm, unless they broke through the Heavenly Celestial Realm. However, it was almost impossible for them to reach that point. 

In the last thousand years, not a single person came even close to that. However, there was also another method of entering the Upper Realm, and it was if they were taken by someone from the Upper Realm. 

Most people wanted their youngsters to attract Xu Shan's attention with their talents so he could take them with him. 

The young girls who came with their fathers, or the Ancestors of their clans were nervous. They had never seen Xu Shan but they had to win his heart. 

As they looked around, they only saw the most beautiful and talented girls in the continent, which made them even more concerned. 

"When is Senior coming?" The King of the Small Kingdom asked the Patriarch of the Duan Clan. 

The others nearby were also curious. However, they were very respectful. One had to treat even the servants with respect because of their master. 

"Senior will come when he wants to. Just wait." The Patriarch of the Duan Clan responded calmly, shaking his head. 

However, around that time, the door opened. A young man stepped inside the massive hall. 

Everyone's attention fell on Xu Shan. 

The youngsters didn't find anything special in the young man, other than the fact that he had a One Star Celestial Spirit symbol on his left eye. However, he appeared weak. 

The youngsters shook their heads, as they stopped paying attention, thinking it was just another guest. However, they soon noticed that their Elders nearby were frozen in place. 

Almost all of them went down on one knee, including various Kings, as if they were welcoming gods. It was an instinct that they couldn't do anything about. Just the aura of Xu Shan alone was scary. 

Xu Shan silently walked towards the throne that was especially placed for him, without saying a word. His every step caused the ground to shake, while his eyes swept over the great hall, as if assessing everything. 

Meeting all these people was only a waste of his time, but he needed to play around a little. 

Duan Mu remained with Xu Shan, ever since he left his mother. However, he still kept thinking about what his mother said. 

No matter what, he couldn't think that his mother was right. He knew that Xu Shan was ruthless since he saw him kill people before. However, he also remembered that Xu Shan didn't kill them right away. He talked to them first, telling them to leave. 

He only killed them when they didn't take his advice and attacked him. 

In his eyes, even if Xu Shan was evil, he wasn't unreasonable! For him, his own clan members were much more evil, who covered themselves in a cloak of being a righteous person while doing evil deeds. 

On the other hand, Xu Shan showed his true nature proudly, not hiding anything... At least that's what he thought. 

The celebration started, and many people introduced themselves while praising Xu Shan and telling him that they were willing to do anything for him. 

It was no different than most of the powers swearing their loyalty to Xu Shan. They also introduced their juniors. 

Later, a fighting arena was also arranged for the youngsters of various clans to fight each other and show their skills before Xu Shan. 

Even Xu Shan understood why they were doing it. However, in his eyes, all these people were quite untalented. He already found the perfect person to take with him... A person that could become his biggest weapon in the future. 

"I haven't seen your mother. Is she not coming?" Xu Shan asked Duan Mu after some time. 

Duan Mu shook his head. "Mother rarely attends these events. I hope you can forgive her for not being here."

He was partially glad as well that his mother wasn't here since he knew what she thought of Xu Shan. She didn't want her to accidentally reveal her true thoughts. 

"Your mother seemed like a nice person. I would like to talk to her before we leave," Xu Shan stated, before turning his attention to the arena in the front. 

The youngster on the platform who won the fight was good and talented by the standards of this world. However, Xu Shan knew that even the worst Disciple of the Celestial Palace in the same realm as him could wipe the floor with his face without any trouble. 

As Xu Shan paid attention to the arena, no one noticed that the Patriarch of the Duan Clan had disappeared. 

He left the place, without informing anyone. No one even noticed that his eyes appeared somewhat blank as well, as if something was wrong with him. 

And the direction he was going toward was the Courtyard where Duan Mu's mother resided. 

Many guards saw him going in that direction, but no one found it suspicious. He was the Patriarch of the Clan and he could go anywhere at any time, without any trouble. 

The Patriarch stopped before the door of the middle aged woman's courtyard. He knocked on the door, which was soon opened by Duan Mu's mother…
