I've Become a Villain? A Little Karma Is Nothing to Worry About

The Golden-Winged Great Peng suppressed his shock, cupped his hands, and asked, his tone now showing a hint of respect.

"Senior... I am the Golden-Winged Great Peng, currently in seclusion for cultivation. I was unaware of your presence and what guidance you may offer."

Circumstances dictate his actions; though arrogant, he was not foolish.

Xuandu smiled slightly:

"I wouldn't call it giving advice."

"I have come to invite you to join the Interception Sect."

"The Interception Sect?"

Upon hearing this, the Golden-Winged Great Peng was taken aback, a look of doubt flashing in his eyes.

The Jie Interception Sect naturally knew this.

Established by the Sage Tongtian, Teach Without Discrimination, Myriad Immortals Come to Court; it is the most prestigious religion in the primordial Great Wilderness.

But... he had no connection with this sect, so why would anyone invite him to join?

Then Xuandu took out a feather, which was the Five-Colored Feather that Kong Xuan had given him.

Upon seeing this, the Golden-Winged Great Peng's pupils shrank sharply, and its Crimson Gold Battle Robe fluttered without wind, as a violent burst of Yin Yang Two Qi erupted!

"Where did you get this feather?"

His voice was hoarse, and a murderous glint flashed in his eyes as he stared intently at the Five-Colored Feather that shimmered in the light in Xuandu's palm.

He was very familiar with those feathers.

The flowing, fundamental Daoist principles of the Five Elements Origin resonate with his bloodline; there is absolutely no mistake about that!

It is precisely the Kong Xuan's Origin Feather my Elder Brother, Kong Xuan!

This item was something I would never part with lightly unless in a life-or-death situation or entrusted to me by a close relative, yet now it had fallen into the hands of this strange, blue-robed cultivator...

The Golden-Winged Great Peng's mind raced, and a worst-case scenario came to mind:

My Elder Brother is in trouble!

And it's highly likely... that he has already fallen victim to this person's cruelty!

"How did my older brother, Lingyu, end up with you? What did you do to him?"

"Traitor! Rebel! Villain!!! Prepare to die!!!"

The Golden-Winged Great Peng roared, its Yin Yang Two Qi spinning wildly around it.

Then it transformed into Black and White Twin Dragons, coiling around its body, unleashing the full power of Early Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal!

Although he could not sense the other party's specific level of cultivation, he only felt that it was unfathomable, like an abyss or a vast sea.

But at this moment, anger and grief had clouded his judgment.

If his Elder Brother truly dies because of this person, he will risk self-destruction to make this person pay the price!

"Buzz!"

The Yin Yang Two Qi transformed into a tangible blade, tearing through the void and slashing fiercely towards Xuandu!

This attack, unleashed in fury, had exhausted the Yin Yang True Meaning he had comprehended during his century of seclusion; even an ordinary mid-stage Daluo would not dare to take it head-on!

However.

Faced with this furious attack that could Mountain Splitter, Xuandu merely raised an eyebrow, a hint of astonishment flashing in his eyes.

"Um?"

He truly hadn't expected that his act of presenting Kong Xuan's feather, intended to gain his trust, would instead provoke the Golden-Winged Great Peng into attacking.

These two brothers... their relationship has deteriorated to this extent?

He made a move as soon as he saw the token?

The thought flashed through Xuandu's mind in an instant, but his hands did not stop moving.

He still held the Five-Colored Feather in his right hand, while his left hand, with fingers pointing like a sword, gently touched the Yin Yang Edge that was slashing towards him.

"Certainly."

A single word uttered Words Follow Law.

The Daoist aura of Golden Immortal of the Origin Peak flows naturally. Although he did not deliberately release his pressure, it had already caused the surrounding Heaven and Earth Laws to resonate.

The menacing Yin Yang Edge, powerful enough to cleave stars, suddenly froze three feet from Xuandu's brow!

It was as if we had hit an invisible barrier, making it impossible to advance any further!

Not only was the attack blocked, but even the surging magical power around the Golden-Winged Great Peng froze for a moment under this one word!

"What?"

The Golden-Winged Great Peng trembled violently, its anger instantly replaced by horror!

Although his angry strike wasn't delivered with full force, it still contained the Yin Yang True Meaning honed over a century of arduous cultivation, yet it was so easily suspended in mid-air by his opponent?

What kind of tactic is this?!

Even Quasi-Saint expert could not do something so effortless!

Could it be... that this person is actually...?

A thought that sent Divine Soul down his spine flashed through his mind.

Primordial Origin Golden Immortal?

Only Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, Transcend Heavenly Dao and Self-Forming Laws, can determine all laws with a single word!

However, in the In the Great Wilderness, only the mother, the Ancestral Dragon, and the Beginning Qilin broke through to the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal by relying on the fortune of their race.

This person is actually Primordial Origin Golden Immortal?

And why did he suddenly appear in Beihai, carrying his Elder Brother's feather?

"Calm down."

Xuandu withdrew his finger, and the stagnant Yin Yang Edge quietly dissipated, turning into specks of Black and White Flowing Light that returned to the world.

He looked calmly at the Golden-Winged Great Peng, his tone tinged with a hint of helplessness:

"If I truly intended to harm Senior Brother Kong Xuan, why would I have come to you bearing his feather?"

"This feather was personally given to me by Senior Brother Kong Xuan, who entrusted me to come to the North Sea to invite you to join the Interception Sect."

Upon hearing this, the Golden-Winged Great Peng was stunned.

Did I make a mistake?

Wait, isn't this person called Senior Brother Kong Xuan?

Subsequently, the Golden-Winged Great Peng found it difficult to pass through:

"My Elder Brother... he actually joined the Interception Sect?"

How proud and aloof was Kong Xuan?

Even the Undying Volcano left behind by Yuanfeng was not to be inhabited for long; he preferred to travel alone and comprehend the Great Dao.

How could I willingly become a disciple of someone else and Sect Rules?

not to mention...

"My Phoenix Clan bloodline bears the karmic Karma of suppressing the Undying Volcano; our Karma is heavy."

The Golden-Winged Great Peng's voice was deep, carrying a hint of suppressed sorrow:

" In the In the Great Wilderness, who wouldn't avoid it?"

"Even if the Interception Sect Teach Without Discrimination, why would they be willing to take in my brother and me, and get involved in this Karma for nothing?"

This is the greatest thorn in the side of the Phoenix Clan's bloodline.

After Yuanfeng's demise, the Phoenix Clan, to repay past karmic Karma, suppressed the Undying Volcano, quelling the earth's fire and maintaining stability in the South Brightness.

This Karma Karma has long been bound to the Phoenix Clan's bloodline, passed down through generations.

Ordinary cultivators would avoid it like the plague, and even powerful figures and great sects would not easily get involved.

Even though the Interception Sect is powerful, how could it be an exception?

Upon hearing this, Xuandu gently shook his head.

"Karma and Karma?"

His voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable certainty:

"The Jie Sect's Teachings is to Seize a Thread of Life."

"Strive to cross the river in Desperate Situation, break through the deadlock in a seemingly hopeless situation."

"What is the Karma of mere Karma and effect, karma?"

The Golden-Winged Great Peng shuddered and suddenly looked up at Xuandu.

The senior brother in blue robes appeared calm and composed, his eyes clear, as if he were discussing something utterly ordinary.

Xuandu slowly said:

"As for that Karma Karma..."

A meaningful smile curved at the corner of his lips:

"Since Master dared to accept him, he must have a way to resolve this."

"What?"

The Golden-Winged Great Peng's pupils contracted sharply, and its heart began to pound uncontrollably.

How to resolve the Karma Karma of the Phoenix Clan?

How is that possible?

That is the Karma of heaven and earth that has existed since the World Creation and has continued for countless eons!

Even Sage might not be willing to intervene easily.

The Sage Tongtian... actually possesses a way to resolve this?

"You'll find out the details later."

Xuandu didn't say much, then changed the subject:

"The North Sea is about to descend into chaos, and a great calamity is imminent."

"If you stay here, your chances of survival are slim."

"Come back to Golden Ao Island with me, reunite with your Elder Brother, and join the Interception Sect for cultivation. That is the right path."

The Golden-Winged Great Peng remained silent.

He still harbored doubts and unease, but Xuandu's words were like a seed that quietly took root in his heart.

Resolving Karma Karma...

Standing shoulder to shoulder with my Elder Brother...

The Interception Sect Glimmer of Hope...

A series of thoughts collided in my mind.

After a long while, he took a deep breath, and the arrogance in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by determination.

"Since this is my Elder Brother's intention..."
