Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!

"We are almost there," one of the youngsters exclaimed after only half an hour of walking.

He pointed towards the distant horizon as his voice resonated with a heavy fighting spirit. The other youngsters also looked excited as they looked into the distance.

Xu Shan followed the direction of his gaze and noticed another group standing a few miles away. Among them stood an old man, exuding a strength that rivaled the old man leading this group.

To his surprise, the other side also had a lot of youngsters. As his observation skills were better than the rest, he could see that the youngsters from the side were definitely stronger. Some were even suppressing their true cultivation.

He opened his lips, but in the end, he dropped the thought of speaking anything. He was sure that the old man had noticed it as well. If he wasn't saying anything, that meant there was no need to.

Shortly, Xu Shan was within a hundred meters range of the other group.

He could already hear their laughter, "Hahaha, those insects are here to get beaten this year as well."

Xu Shan scratched the back of his head. "Don't tell me you're here for some battle?"

Xin Mei glared at Xu Shan. "Didn't I tell you to focus on your own self?! Just stay behind silently and don't interfere!"

Xu Shan let out a sigh. He had no interest in interfering either. The only thing he was concerned about was the quest. He had to find out what these people were here for.

"Don't talk in that manner." The Great Elder chimed in. "Is that how you behave with our guests?"

The Great Elder chided the young girl, as if he was standing up for Xu Shan. However, Xu Shan felt like laughing at the old man's act.

The girl had been talking in a similar manner throughout this journey, but the old man had pretended to not hear it. It was as if he waited until this point so he could appreciate him more.

Xu Shan didn't expose the old man and simply thanked him before asking, "Who are those people."

"They are also members of our sect," the old man answered. "The man you see there is another Elder from our sect while the youngsters next to him are his disciples."

"Why are they looking at you with such hostility?" Xu Shan changed his question.

The old man laughed in response. "It's because we stand in their way to get the last Dragon Pass."

"Last Dragon Pass?" Xu Shan frowned. This was why he first wanted to gather more information before meeting any powerful people from this world. He was completely oblivious.

"Were you living under a tree all this time?" Xin Mei exclaimed, revealing some shock while still looking down at him. "You don't even know what the Dragon Pass is?"

Xin Mei didn't know if Xu Shan was being serious or messing with them. Meanwhile, the old man was even more convinced that Xu Shan wasn't from their Kingdom.

"A Dragon Pass is something issued by the Royal Family to every major sect in the Kingdom," the old man answered. "Every sect receives a number of them, based on the ranking of the sect."

"Our sect also received a total of ten of them. Unfortunately, there are a total of Eleven Peaks in our sect, each being under a Grand Elder. The first none passes were taken by the first nine peaks, leaving only one."

"As for which peak between our Eleventh Peak and their Tenth Peak gets the last pass has been decided through a competition between the disciples of the Two Peaks."

As the old man spoke, there was some hint of disappointment within his eyes. The youngsters momentarily lowered their heads, ashamed at their past performance.

"Don't worry Grand Elder!" Xin Mei stepped forward, holding her head high. "We might have lost the past, but this time I'll make sure that we win! I'll bring the last Dragon Pass to our peak!"

Xu Shan was able to understand what the old man was saying. However, he still didn't understand what use that Dragon Pass held.

Since the Quest screen asked him to take the first place, it meant it wanted him to take the Dragon Pass? But why? What use did it hold?

"Is the Dragon Pass a treasure?" Xu Shan asked.

Xin Mei glared at him. Not only was this guy not satisfied, but he kept asking questions.

"Master, there's no way he doesn't know what a Dragon Pass is! I'm sure he's trying to distract us at a time like this! He might even be someone planted by the Tenth Peak! It would make perfect sense why he was here exactly when we were about to arrive!"

The old man flicked Xin Mei's forehead. "Focus and don't think about such nonsense."

He didn't know Xu Shan's identity, but he knew the Grand Elder of the Tenth Sect. That guy was as overconfident as one could get. There was no way that he would pull such a stupid trick.

He was certain that Xu Shan had told him the truth. He arrived here by accident and he was from another place. This increased Xu Shan's value even more.

A talisman that could travel from one Kingdom to another... It was such a rare item that even the Royal Families only possessed a few of them!

It made him think that Xu Shan was truly a big shot from a Higher Kingdom, or maybe he could even be a Royal who was trying to run away from his home.

He had completely made up a backstory for Xu Shan in his mind as he glanced at the Divine Empress. There was no way a powerful family would have her in their midst. She was too old to still be in the initial Immortal Celestial Realm!

He believed that Xu Shan had fallen in love with that girl, but as she was pathetically weak and untalented, his family rejected it!

To escape from his family that had vast influence, Xu Shan stole the Talisman from his family and ran with the Divine Empress.

The story he assumed made perfect sense in his mind. It also made Xu Shan more valuable to him. It meant Xu Shan was the heir of a great family.

Even if he ran away, he could return home in the future and be forgiven, inheriting all the power from his family. And if he was a Royal Heir, he could actually become the King!

There were so many possibilities for Xu Shan in his eyes. The only thing he was certain about was that he had to maintain a good relationship with him.
