Now I've Become a Great Villain

One month later.

Xiao Yan, his body wreathed in purple flames, opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of stale air, and stretched lazily.

The injuries have been fully healed; now it's time to give the Nether Flame Demon's Intelligence to the Nether Flame Demon Saint.

At the same time, now that his strength has increased, Xiao Yan can handle the Yellow Spring Demon Sage inheritance in the Nine Nether Nether Python Clan territory and the split problem of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan.

After making his plans, Xiao Yan informed Xiao Xuan and left the Heavenly Tomb Space, entering the Nether Flame Demon Saint's Inheritance Land.

"Teacher, I brought the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame with me!" Xiao Yan exclaimed excitedly.

Now that Xiao Yan's strength has improved and his Soul Realm has broken through to the Emperor Realm, he can see that this place is completely shrouded in a fog. Everything here is a manifestation of the Nightmare Heavenly Mist, seemingly real yet illusory, and incredibly wondrous.

But by this time the fog had become extremely thin and was dissipating every moment, as if it had lost the power to continue. Perhaps it would completely dissipate in a few decades.

"I can already feel a faint suction force in the world, trying to send my Residual Soul somewhere—or is this what you call Reincarnation?" The figure of the Nether Flame Demon Saint quietly appeared, now even more blurred.

"It should be." Xiao Yan took out the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame Spirit that had been sealed layer by layer and said.

The Nether Flame Demon Saint's gaze immediately left Xiao Yan, fixing on the seal. After several breaths, he sighed and said, "Why don't you break the seal?"

"Huh? Oh!" Xiao Yan was taken aback, thinking to himself that the Nether Flame Demon Saint was so weak that he couldn't even break the seventeenth layer of seal.

As the seals were broken one by one, the illusory sentience of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame appeared before the Nether Flame Demon Saint.

This spirit, stripped of its Demon Flame Origin and trapped by Xiao Yan in the Nightmare Heavenly Mist, is now somewhat illusory, sealed away from the world by layers of seals.

After Xiao Yan dispelled the Nightmare Heavenly Mist, it took several minutes for the Demon Flame Intelligence to regain its senses.

After briefly assessing the situation on the field, the Demon Flame Intelligence immediately knelt down before the Nether Flame Demon Saint and cried out in anguish, "Master, my essence has been stripped away, and I will soon dissipate!"

The Nether Flame Demon Saint remained silent for a moment, then pointed at Xiao Yan and asked softly, "Are you willing to live as a human and stay by his side?"

The Demon Flame Intelligence was filled with disbelief, and a surge of anger welled up from the bottom of its heart, but the situation was beyond its control, so it could only forcefully suppress its anger.

However, before he could agree, the Nether Flame Demon Saint sighed again, "Fine, you certainly don't want to. In that case, come with me..."

After saying that, before the Demon Flame Intelligence could react, the Nether Flame Demon Saint pulled it up, the mist dissipated, and the two figures disappeared in front of Xiao Yan.

The Small Space lost its ability to continue operating and gradually collapsed, swallowed by the endless void. The black key and lock also turned into two wisps of ashes.

Xiao Yan raised his hand and blew away the ashes, looking somewhat dejected.

After drifting aimlessly in the void for a while, Xiao Yan went to the Pill Region and found Xiao Xiao, who was learning to identify Medicinal Herbs from Xiao Yi Xian.

Xiao Xiao's Dou Qi attribute is pure fire attribute, which theoretically prevents her from becoming an Alchemist. However, the Snake People Clan have Secret Technique to infuse the souls of Snake Magical Beast. The Seven-Winged Purple Gold Snake has the Wood Power, so if she insists on learning it, Xiao Xiao is not incapable of alchemy.

Xiao Yan thought about it and figured that Xiao Yi Xian must really like children, so he grabbed the busy Gu He and asked Gu He to teach Xiao Xiao.

As for Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Yan took her away to make Xiao Qingshan —it doesn't matter whether the child is a boy or a girl, they'll just call him that anyway.

After living with his family for a while, Xiao Yan got busy again.

Xiao Yan, along with Medusa and Qing Lin, broke through space and arrived directly at the Skeleton Mountain Range in the Beast Region.

Yao Xiaotian was startled and looked up to see Xiao Yan's familiar face appear in front of him.

How did this guy's strength increase so quickly... Yao Xiaotian's heart tightened, sensing a bit of malice. He quickly transformed into human form, forcing a smile as he approached Xiao Yan.

Only upon getting closer did Yao Xiaotian discover that beside Xiao Yan were two other women: a stunningly beautiful woman with alluring Beautiful Eyes and a gentle smile on her face; and a petite, curvaceous, and adorable girl with strangely expressive eyes.

Yao Xiaotian's heart skipped a beat, but he dared not show it. He lowered his head, not daring to look again, and said in a muffled voice, "Master, what brings you here today?"

"That's right, I heard that the Patriarch recently found the Ancient Heaven Snake Remnant Soul..." Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"..." Yao Xiaotian was silent for a moment, then laughed again, "I was just about to tell the master! That Ancient Heaven Snake Remnant Soul is of little use to me. It would be better to give it to the master's Myriad Beast Spirit Flame to devour, which would be more beneficial to the Nine Netherworld Python Clan."

"I've heard that there's a Yellow Spring Demon Sage's Inheritance in the Nine Nether Nether Python Clan's territory?" Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow and then asked.

"That is true. The Yellow Spring Demon Sage was originally a human powerhouse, but he had some connection with the Nine Nether Nether Python Clan. However, our clan's strength is insufficient, and we are unable to obtain the core inheritance. Why not give that Inheritance Stone Tablet to the master, so that the master can carry forward the Yellow Spring Demon Sage's unique skills!" Yao Xiaotian said righteously.

Xiao Yan sighed. He had been cooperating with Yao Xiaotian all along, and now that Yao Xiaotian had lowered himself to this extent, Xiao Yan couldn't bring himself to take action.

"Master, is something troubling you? Why not tell me? If there's anything I, Yao Xiaotian, can do to help, I will certainly not refuse!" Seeing Xiao Yan sigh, Yao Xiaotian continued to flatter him.

"My wife, by a stroke of luck, acquired the bloodline of the Nine-Colored Sky Swallowing Python..."

"Master!" Yao Xiaotian suddenly looked up and said resolutely, "The Nine Nether Yellow Spring was originally taken from the Sky Swallowing Python Clan by the Ancient Heaven Snake Serpent. I have felt uneasy ever since I learned about this. I wanted to make amends but did not know how. Now that the Nine-Colored Sky Swallowing Python has appeared in the world, it is the time to return the Nine Nether Yellow Spring!"

After saying this, Yao Xiaotian bowed to Xiao Yan and said, "I hope you will not refuse, Master, and will grant me this wish!"

"..." Xiao Yan opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. After his mind raced for a while, he finally came to his senses with a reminder from Queen Medusa and replied, "You're too kind, Patriarch Chief. If you need any Pills in the future, you can come to me directly—I can refine even Ninth Grade Pill."

"It's alright, it's alright." Yao Xiaotian waved his hand and continued, "It's just that there are some traitors of my Nine Netherworld Python Clan imprisoned in the Nine Nether Yellow Spring, and there are also some people in the clan who do not obey me—but when the master takes action, naturally no one can stop him."

Looking at the obsequious Yao Xiaotian, Xiao Yan ultimately decided against a complete falling out and simply nodded, saying, "Then I'll lend you a hand."
