Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!

Chapter 231 231: Happy or pity

As soon as Xu Shan entered the Palace, he used his Divine Sense to search the entire place. Unfortunately, the entire palace was empty, except for a few guards.

"Did she go to check the preparations?" Pondering, he approached one of the Guards.

"L-Lord." Seeing Xu Shan return, the Warrior Guard was taken aback. He immediately dropped to his knees, greeting the young man. However, the fear on his face was evident entirely.

"Stop showing such a disgraceful appearance. I'm not going to kill you," Xu Shan told the man.

"Where's the Divine Queen?" he asked.

The Guard seemed a bit hesitant. However, under Xu Shan's gaze, he couldn't keep anything hidden.

"Her Majesty has gone out on a conquest."

"A conquest? At a time like this? Did she go crazy?' Xu Shan couldn't believe that she would go out to wage a war, especially when she was so close to the completion of the formation.

In the end, all of these people were going to be dead when the formation was completed. So it looked like a waste of time.

"Who did she go to kill this time?" he further asked.

"S-she..." The guard stuttered in response, his mouth barely opening in fear.

"On second thoughts, it's much easier if I find out myself." Xu Shan could only sigh in response as he placed his hand on the man's head, using Soul Search.

Within a few seconds, he was able to see through all the memories of the Guard and understood what took place in this world when he wasn't here.

"Interesting. So there was an assassination attempt. How peculiar... The man who attacked... Isn't he...?"

Xu Shan turned around, leaving the Royal Palace. The guard who was soul searched remained on the ground, his eyes lifeless.

Throughout the Guard's memories, he was able to find out a lot of information. Once he had left, the Divine Queen was curious about his whereabouts but she focused on the formation.

Because she was focusing on the formation, she needed someone to keep the other people in check so as to not cause any unnecessary trouble. For that reason, he selected a lookalike of Xu Shan.

While the Divine Queen was underground, focusing on completion of the large-scale formation, the fake Xu Shan occasionally made an appearance, revealing himself at least once a day as he walked through the city.

The Divine Queen thought that no one could dare to do anything unwise in Xu Shan's presence since everyone in the city had seen his might. However, she hadn't expected things to progress to this extent.

On the fifth day when the fake Xu Shan went for a stroll, followed by some guards, there was an assassination attempt.

The attack was swift. The Guards couldn't even react as the assassin reached close to the fake Xu Shan, plunging the Heavenly Tier Dagger into his heart.

Right before everyone's eyes, the Heavenly Tier Weapon did its work and destroyed the soul, mind and body of the person that was attacked.

Not only was the fake Xu Shan killed in front of everyone's eyes, but also the guards who were accompanying him were killed. Only a few guards managed to cowardly run away and escape. And the Guard he used soul search was one of them.

Not only had that guard been there, but he had also seen a glimpse of the Assassin's face. And through him, Xu Shan also saw the Assassin's face which brought a smile to his face.

"So the little dog that escaped my net is back to bite its master? I don't know if I should be happy or feel pity on him..."

Not only did the assassin kill 'him' in front of everyone in the city, but he also influenced the people of the City into rebelling against the queen.

If the Divine Queen hadn't come out and killed all the rebels, the consequences would've been quite severe, especially if the palace was overtaken and the secret of underground formation was discovered.

That day, the Divine Queen annihilated many citizens who fell for the manipulation of the Assassins.

After killing the rebels, her anger still wasn't over. She had a feeling that if she let them be, they were going to cause even more problems, especially now that they were under the impression that they were strong enough to kill Xu Shan.

To eradicate the threats, the Queen herself went to the conquest of the Shadow Hall.

"Duan Mu, oh Duan Mu. How can a descendant of Demons of Abyss be so foolish? Did you really think it was going to be this easy to kill your master?" Stopping outside the Palace, Xu Shan gazed at the sky.

Duan Mu was the Son of Heaven that he had decided to make his servant. Unfortunately, when he was attacked by the Divine Realm and was in a long sleep, Duan Mu had disappeared, erasing all his control.

Ever since then, Xu Shan was quite curious about the whereabouts of the young man. But he hadn't expected that the man was going to come to this place and show himself this easily.

"No matter how far you run, at the end, you'll end up before me. And then, I'll make you experience a fate worse than death for betraying my trust!

Xu Shan rose in the air. Although he didn't know where the Shadow Hall was, he was able to locate the Divine Queen on whom he had planted a Soul Seal.

He didn't quite understand how the woman knew the location of the Shadow Hall for her to go after them, but at the end of the day, he had to follow her.

He flew straight towards the Divine Empress, his speed faster than light itself. Within a few seconds, he had traveled through multiple cities, his speed faster than even using the Portal Gates.

In less than ten seconds, he stopped, finally reaching his destination. He looked at the ground below him. The entire Earth was painted red in blood.
