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

Chapter 478 Temple

"Hmph, do you think I believe that?" Xu Yao said coldly.

"Believe it or not, our temple has never intended to be your enemy."

"And even if you really kill me, it won't have much of an impact on the temple."

The man's indifferent voice echoed in the space, instantly making Xu Yao's face turn extremely ugly.

Although the man's words were true, they were also a blatant provocation.

Xu Yao was burning with intense anger. He knew he had to make a decision, or he would be driven mad by these people sooner or later.

"Since you put it that way, then I'll remember this debt."

Xu Yao took a deep breath, gave the man a cold look, and said in an icy tone.

"Remember this: one day I will find your temple and seek justice. Don't blame me for being ruthless then."

Upon hearing Xu Yao's words, the man's face revealed a mocking expression: "I'll be waiting for you."

After speaking, the man's gaze fell on the jade pendant on his wrist again, his eyes blinking as he stared at it.

"What secret does this jade pendant hold? It emits such a rich spiritual energy."

"Could it be some kind of treasure? Or is this jade pendant a priceless artifact?"

Xu Yao's expression also changed unpredictably.

He could sense that the jade pendant contained an extremely large amount of soul power.

Moreover, it also carries an extremely evil aura.

It seems that the owner of this jade pendant had committed many heinous acts.

"Give me this jade pendant first." Xu Yao's tone became much calmer. He knew that what he needed to do at this moment was to stay calm.

He knew that if he got too emotional, things could easily go wrong.

After all, the man in front of him possessed the cultivation of a Spirit Emperor and was extremely powerful; he was not yet capable of contending with him.

"Why do you think I would hand it over to you?" The man's eyes revealed a hint of mockery when he heard Xu Yao's words.

“This jade pendant is very important to your temple, isn’t it? If I take it away, your temple probably won’t let it go.”

Xu Yao said calmly.

He believed that if he really took the jade pendant, the other party would definitely not dare to make any rash moves.

After all, he was a Spirit Emperor level expert, and he also possessed something left behind by the owner of this jade pendant.

If they disregard the jade pendant and take action, the consequences are predictable.

After all, this is a priceless treasure, and the temple would certainly not let him off the hook if he lost it.

Upon hearing Xu Yao's words, a hint of hesitation flashed across the man's face, but he ultimately gritted his teeth and tossed the jade pendant in his hand to Xu Yao.

Xu Yao took the jade pendant, a smile flashing across his face, and put it into his storage ring.

"Okay, this matter is now resolved. I hope you can keep your promise."

“I am leading your Black Dragon Temple people away; I do not wish to harm the innocent.”

Upon hearing Xu Yao's words, the man's expression immediately froze.

"Hmph, if it weren't for the powerful soul aura emanating from you, do you think I would be willing to talk to you?" the man said resentfully.

Xu Yao's expression turned completely cold, and his eyes were filled with intense killing intent as he looked at the man.

"I told you, don't force me to kill you."

"Do you think our Black Dragon Temple has no experts? You'd better think carefully, because angering the Black Dragon Temple is no laughing matter."

Hearing Xu Yao's murderous words, the man couldn't help but shudder.

His face turned extremely pale; he knew that Xu Yao definitely had the ability to do this.

However, he still refused to back down.

"Do you really think you're qualified to oppose the Black Dragon Temple?"

The man's tone was full of skepticism.

Xu Yao's eyebrows suddenly shot up, and a sharp killing intent flashed in his eyes.

"I don't care whether your Black Dragon Temple has any experts in charge or not, today I, Xu Yao, am determined to get this treasure."

"If you remain obstinate, then don't blame me, Xu Yao, for being impolite. Don't blame me for disregarding the code of honor in the martial world."

Upon hearing Xu Yao's words, the man revealed a mocking smile.

"Xu Yao, don't forget, you are now in the Demon Realm."

"Do you think you still have the ability to protect the people you want to protect?" the man said coldly.

Upon hearing the man's words, Xu Yao let out a disdainful sneer, his tone dripping with mockery.

"Let me tell you, this Demon Realm is not as simple as it seems on the surface."

"Even if I, Xu Yao, encounter danger, I will do everything in my power to protect the people I want to protect."

"At least they won't let anyone hurt a single hair on their heads."

"And you demons, I will not allow you to come within three feet of me."

"If you don't believe me, you can try it."

"Alright, enough nonsense. If you don't get out of here, I'll kill you right now."

The man was filled with anger upon hearing Xu Yao's threat.

But he certainly didn't dare to disobey Xu Yao's wishes.

He knew he was no match for Xu Yao in a fight, so he had no choice but to back down.

"Hmph, Xu Yao, we'll see!"

Upon hearing the man's words, Xu Yao snorted coldly, ignored him, and left the cave.

Seeing Xu Yao's departing figure, the man's eyes blazed with fury, and his fists clenched tightly.

"Do you think the Black Dragon Temple is so easily bullied? Xu Yao, you just wait!" the man roared, and then walked out of the cave.

The man only breathed a sigh of relief after Xu Yao disappeared from his sight.

He never expected that Xu Yao's cultivation level would be so high, and that he would also possess such a strange treasure.

He knew that Xu Yao's cultivation level should be around the peak of the Spirit Lord realm, but now he felt that Xu Yao was unfathomable.

A look of horror flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

After all, the Black Dragon Temple's strength is even greater than that of the temple's higher-ups.

Although Xu Yao's cultivation was profound, he was absolutely no match for him.

"Hmph, wait until our temple's experts emerge from seclusion, then let's see how arrogant you can still be."

The man muttered to himself, his eyes filled with coldness.

"Xu Yao, since you want to die, I'll grant your wish."

The man spoke with murderous intent in his eyes, then turned and flew away into the distance.

Xu Yao was unaware that because of him, a bloody storm was quietly brewing.

After leaving the cave, he immediately returned to the cave where the saintess lived.

He sat directly on the stone bed, closed his eyes, and began to adjust his breathing, bringing his energy to its optimal state.

A moment later, Xu Yao opened his eyes, a sinister smile appearing on his lips.

Xu Yao reached out and gently touched the jade bracelet in his hand.

With a gentle wave of his arm, the jade bracelet flew out and hovered in mid-air.
