Villain: Her Imagination Makes Me Invincible

Chapter 48 - The greater the ambition, the greater the ambition

Chapter 48: The greater the ambition, the greater the ambition

The Qianling Ancient Clan.

At this moment, everyone in the clan was anxiously awaiting Qian Chen’s return.

Everyone hoped for good news.

But unfortunately, when Qian Chen returned, Qian Xue was still by his side.

The Spirit Pearl was also still in his possession.

Seeing this, everyone’s hearts sank!

Could it be that even after the clan leader had offered both the Spirit Pearl and the young clan leader to the Demonic Sect, the Demon Master still refused?  

He didn’t even care for the Spirit Pearl?  

Nor for Qian Xue?  

If that’s the case, what will become of the ancient clan?  

In the ancestral hall.

Qian Chen once again gathered all the high-ranking members of the Qianling Ancient Clan.

After much careful consideration, he finally made a decision: “Summon the entire clan’s army and strong forces, and prepare to join the war against the Taixuan Empire!”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed slightly: “Are we still going to join forces with the Taixuan Empire to resist the Demonic Sect?”

“So, there really was no other way out?”

“No!” However, Qian Chen shook his head: “We… will support the Demonic Sect!”

This statement shocked everyone.

So… instead of joining the Taixuan Empire to fight against the Demonic Sect,  

they would join the Demonic Sect… in attacking the Taixuan Empire?  

“This is the only way for the ancient clan to survive!” Qian Chen continued.

At this point, there was no other choice.

If they wanted to protect the entire clan, they had to join the Demonic Sect!

They had to agree to Ling Xue’s terms.

All the high-ranking members of the Qianling Ancient Clan exchanged glances before nodding heavily in agreement.

Qian Chen continued, “Yes, by siding with the Demonic Sect, they could atone for their previous mistakes and gain the Demonic Sect’s forgiveness.”

“In that case, it was time to prepare for battle!”

“Prepare to fight alongside the Demonic Sect!”

…

After giving his orders, Qian Chen took Qian Xue back to their residence.

It was time to tell her some things she hadn’t known before.

Twenty years ago, Qian Chen accidentally saved a woman.

They fell in love and married.

Then they had Qian Xue.

Later, Qian Chen learned that the wife he had married was not human at all.

She was from another realm.

Of course, even after learning this, their love remained genuine.

Later, due to certain special circumstances, his wife had to leave.

As for the specific reasons, she hadn’t explained them clearly.

But Qian Chen suspected it had something to do with some special matters in that other realm.

Before she left, his wife placed a sacred object inside Qian Xue’s body.

After that, she never returned.

Qian Chen could only tell everyone that his wife had disappeared!

Naturally, Qian Xue also believed her mother had gone missing.

She had no idea that her mother had actually returned to that other realm.

“You indeed have an ancient lamp within you!”

After explaining everything to Qian Xue, Qian Chen sighed: “It’s the only keepsake your mother left you! It’s also your greatest protection! That ancient lamp has the power to resurrect someone once! And… it can control a demonic army!”

After hearing all this, Qian Xue fell into deep thought.

So… her mother hadn’t gone missing at all.  

Her mother was still alive.  

And she… wasn’t fully human!  

“Then… how did Ling Xue know about this? Father, you’ve never mentioned it to anyone!” Qian Xue asked.

This was the issue. Even she didn’t know, so how could Ling Xue have known?

Qian Chen shook his head: “I can’t figure it out either. I fear the Demon Master’s abilities… exceed our imagination!”

If Ling Xue could uncover such a secret, who knew what methods he used?

Qian Xue couldn’t make sense of it either.

She pondered for a moment before asking, “Father, do you think we’ll ever see my mother again?”

In her memories, that beautiful, gentle face was from over a decade ago.

When her mother left, she had been just six or seven years old!

Upon hearing this, Qian Chen smiled bitterly.

“It was likely… impossible.”

After all, Qian Xue’s mother was… in another realm.

At the edge of the world!

A place they could never reach!

“The other realm, the Void, and our world of spiritual energy, currently have nothing to do with each other! With our abilities, we can’t reach other places!” Qian Chen sighed again.

The dangers of the other realm were beyond their imagination.

If they went there, it would be like lambs entering a den of wolves.

“Then… what about Ling Xue? Could he go there?” Qian Xue suddenly asked.

Her words caused Qian Chen’s face to change slightly.

If it were Ling Xue, or the Demonic Sect… perhaps they could do it.

After all, when the Demonic Sect was at its peak, both the Void and the other realm had to bow before them.

“If he wants that ancient lamp, doesn’t that mean… he’s planning to go to the other realm?” Qian Xue continued.

“That ancient lamp could control a sleeping army of demonic creatures. If he didn’t plan to go to the other realm, how could he awaken that army?”

Qian Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly at her words.

“Yes, that made sense!”

So… did Ling Xue truly have such plans?  

The Demonic Sect wasn’t content with dominating this world.  

Could it be… Ling Xue wanted to plant the flag of the Demonic Sect in both the other realm and the Void as well?  

Indeed, someone like him must have such ambitions!

The greater one’s abilities, the greater one’s responsibilities—or at least, their ambitions must be even greater!
