Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Chapter 270 Yue Lanzong

Xu Yao never expected that obtaining the Crimson Peak Sword would attract someone's attention, not because Xu Yao couldn't defeat this person.

The main reason is that Xu Yao himself didn't expect things to come to this point; in short, this person is now going to make a move against him.

After a fierce battle, Xu Yao managed to defeat the man, as he considered the man's cultivation level to be quite good.

However, it's not enough to defeat yourself.

After chasing the man away, Xu Yao clapped his hands, sheathed his Crimson Peak Sword, and prepared to leave.

However, just as Xu Yao was about to leave, another man came out once again.

This man was much stronger than the previous one, Xu Yao observed upon seeing him.

He went straight to the point: "I won't waste any more words. Are you here to challenge me?"

The man laughed and said, "I saw your fight with that person just now. You're quite skilled, kid."

"But it still lacks a bit of skill. Most importantly, your Chifeng Sword is very useful. Without the Chifeng Sword..."

“You won’t beat him so easily,” the man said.

Xu Yao then said, "You're not wrong, but what does this have to do with you?"

"If you lose, you come with me. If I lose, I'll give you something else good. How about it, little brother?" the man said.

Xu Yao hadn't expected this man to be so straightforward, pulling such a stunt right from the start. How could Xu Yao possibly refuse such a thing?

Since someone is bringing things up, I'll just accept them.

Xu Yao then drew his Crimson Peak Sword and said with a smile, "Alright, now that you've said it like that..."

"Then, senior, I'll play along with you."

The man smiled and nodded: "It's good to be confident, but you can't be too confident."

Xu Yao smiled and said, "Please enlighten me, senior."

As soon as Xu Yao finished speaking, the Crimson Peak Sword responded, while the man remained motionless, simply standing in place.

He seemed to be letting Xu Yao stab him, and his composure was quite rare.

Xu Yao didn't know why, but although he didn't want to hurt the man, he just felt that way inside.

Xu Yao felt strangely for the first time that he was no match for this man.

But at that moment, the man suddenly retaliated, and a white light suddenly appeared from both of his hands.

The light directly fixed Xu Yao's Crimson Peak Sword in his palm, and no matter how hard Xu Yao tried, he couldn't break free.

Xu Yao was somewhat shocked to see this; this was something no ordinary person could do.

Xu Yao knew this in his heart; he had never encountered anything that could render him completely immobile.

However, Xu Yao encountered him today, and Xu Yao was also trying to bring back his Crimson Peak Sword.

However, no matter how Xu Yao tried to activate it, he couldn't get his Crimson Peak Sword back, leaving Xu Yao dumbfounded.

The man didn't attack Xu Yao, but instead looked at him and said, "So, are you going to admit defeat or not?"

"I admit defeat, I admit defeat. You're really amazing, I'm no match for you," Xu Yao said.

The man then waved his hand, returning the Crimson Peak Sword to Xu Yao: "Then let's go, as we agreed."

Xu Yao nodded. He was willing to accept the loss, and this person didn't seem like a bad person anyway.

Xu Yao simply followed along; as for other matters, he didn't intend to concern himself with them for the time being.

In short, this is what needs to be done now. If Xu Yao finds out that this man has any ulterior motives, then Xu Yao can leave then.

And so, Xu Yao followed the man all the way to a certain place.

On the way, Xu Yao asked curiously, "Senior, who exactly are you? Where are you taking me?"

The man laughed and said, "Don't worry about all that. You'll know when we get there. Anyway, it's not some dangerous place."

Upon hearing the man's words, Xu Yao nodded and followed him directly.

Soon, the two arrived at the foot of a mountain, where they saw two sect disciples.

Behind the two disciples was a huge stone gate.

There are two stone pillars on the left and right sides of this stone gate, and then a huge stone pillar in the middle, with three large characters "Yue Lanzong" carved in the middle of the pillar.

Upon seeing that it was Yue Lanzong, Xu Yaocai said, "Yue Lanzong, are you a member of Yue Lanzong?"

The man nodded and said, "Let's go, our sect leader is waiting for you."

Although Xu Yao was not quite sure why the sect leader of Yue Lan Sect wanted to see him, he was now at the Yue Lan Sect.

That's exactly what can be figured out.

Xu Yao followed the man directly up to Yue Lanzong.

As we walked up the mountain, we found that the path built by the Yue Lan Sect was quite well constructed, unlike those of other sects.

It was made extremely difficult and challenging, yet they called it a test of the disciples' patience.

That's utter nonsense. If you improve the roads, more disciples will come to you.

After walking for about half an hour, Xu Yao followed the man into the Yue Lan Sect.

Upon seeing Yue Lanzong, Xu Yaocai remarked, "I never expected Yue Lanzong to be so imposing."

The man smiled and said, "My Yue Lan Sect is quite famous within the sect, so naturally we should make it as grand as possible."

"We shouldn't let people look down on us, right? Now that we're here, let's go inside," the man said.

Following the man, Xu Yao entered the Yue Lan Sect.

The entire Yue Lan Sect was quite magnificent, with a huge square in front of its main hall.

Many disciples were walking around in the square, and two large cauldrons were placed on both sides of the square.

The two large cauldrons were still emitting incense smoke. Upon seeing this, Xu Yao remarked, "Are these used by tourists to burn incense?"

Upon hearing this, the man laughed and said, "This is the top of the incense burner of my Yue Lan Sect, but it's just something we use for daily practice."

Xu Yao then nodded.

Soon, led by the man, Xu Yao walked across the square and entered the main hall.

After entering the main hall, the man led Xu Yao to the center of the hall and said, "Sect Master, I have brought Xu Yao back."

"Your name is Xu Yao?" a dignified voice rang out.

"Yes, may I ask who you are?" Xu Yao asked, looking at the man with an extraordinary bearing.

The man then said, "I am Yue Lan, the sect leader of Yue Lan Sect."

"So, Sect Leader Yue, do you not know what business you have with me?"
