Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!

All his men were lying on the ground, lifeless! He still couldn't believe that his men were killed so easily and he didn't even find out about it. 

As he was in disbelief, a kick landed on his chest, sending him flying away. 

He hit the distant tree with a loud thud, and his breath was knocked out of him. Struggling to catch his breath, he realized that he was completely at the mercy of his attacker.

Fortunately, he was finally able to see the person who attacked him. However, it was no different than seeing no one. The man didn't reveal his face. If anything, he had a mask on his face that covered his complete face. 

He didn't have any symbols on his attires that made it impossible to know just who he worked for, if anyone. 

"W-who are you? Why are you attacking me?!" Sei asked, spitting some black blood next to him. 

"If you're working for the Kingdom or the Eternal Dynasty, then it's a waste! Work for the Sky Dynasty! I'll get you everything you want! I'll even recommend you to get a supreme position and all the treasures that you can ever want!"

Sei didn't know why, but he felt really scared of the man, especially the Star Mark in his eyes that he had never seen before. The man's aura wasn't strong, only at the peak of the Earth Celestial, but he was much scarier than his strength suggested. 

Xu Shan glanced at the Queen and the Princess in the distance. Both of them were looking at him with fear as well. However, he didn't care. 

He walked closer to Sei, who was still barely alive. He grabbed Sei by his throat, before dragging him away with him. 

Xu Shan disappeared in the forest, right before the eyes of the Queen and the Princess. And his direction appeared to be the battlefield!

The Queen still couldn't believe what just happened. However, her eyes revealed a look of relief. She hugged her chest tightly, still trembling. 

She wanted to thank the person, but she couldn't gather the courage until the mysterious man disappeared. 

It was only after a long time that she stood up. She rushed to her daughter to help her up, before both of them walked back to the horses. 

She climbed the horse with her daughter. No matter what, she knew this place was still dangerous. She had to escape! She really didn't want to fall into enemy hands!

However, deep in her heart, she was forever grateful for that savior of hers. Even her daughter was fascinated. Even though her head was bleeding and her vision was blurry, but Xu Shan's figure was deeply imprinted in her heart. 

She really hoped that she could meet him again to thank him. Even though she only saw Xu Shan's eyes for a short moment, she had a feeling that the man wasn't much older than her either. 

To have that level of strength at a young age, that only showed how talented he was. And he was also kind and loyal to the Dynasty! Even before the allure of treasures from the Sky Dynasty, he didn't give it a second thought. 

The Princess didn't know that she had already fallen for Xu Shan, without even knowing who he was or what he looked like. 

****

Far away from the forest, Xu Shan left the body of Sei behind. He had already sucked all his strength. That's the reason he dragged him with him. 

Thanks to that, he had broken through to the second stage of the Sky Celestial Realm!

"The battlefield is such a nice place to hunt. Isn't that so?" he asked, as his horse rode through the forest. His long cloak fluttered with the wind inside the forest. 

"Did you know about the Sky Dynasty's plan? Or was it just a coincidence that we ended up there?" Xinren asked Xu Shan, sitting behind him. 

"To defeat an enemy, first, you need to know the enemy. That's why I made that wish..." Xu Shan smiled, bringing out a small sphere from his pocket. 

He sent a small trace of his aura in the sphere, activating it, before speaking, "Your information helped a lot. Good work."

****

Far away from the battlefield of the Estel Kingdom, there was the Qin Dynasty. So far, the Qin Dynasty had been fairly peaceful, at least from citizens' point of view. However, only the higher ups knew the truth. 

Back inside the Royal Palace of the Qin Dynasty, the Empress was sitting in her bedroom, with a small sphere in her hand. 

She nodded as soon as she heard a man's voice. "I have more information..."

The Empress of the Qin Dynasty had been the childhood sweetheart of Qin Ye. Both of them grew up together. They loved each other the most. 

If there was one person that Qin Ye cared about, it was his wife. That's why he was so protective of her, never allowing her to leave the palace. However, that didn't mean he loved her more than his life. 

Only Qin Ye knew that if his life was on the line, then he wasn't going to hesitate for longer before sacrificing his wife

On the other hand, the Empress was different. If her life could save her husband's life, she would've sacrificed herself in an instant. She loved him even more than her life!

She was also someone who was often with her husband whenever strategy meetings were held!

That's why Xu Shan used her to his advantage. A General might've been fooled by Qin Ye for a moment, but not his wife. 

That's why Xu Shan used the Book of Desires to manipulate the love of Qin Ye. He turned his wife into a traitor, who was only going to listen to him, even to the point that she became a spy for him!

Since a wish couldn't be reversed, it was no different than Xu Shan killing the lover of another Book Holder, which came at a similar cost for him. 

However, since he didn't love anyone, or plan to fall in love, Xu Shab didn't care about that cost.
