I Really Am A Villain

Ch. 1313 - Demonic Sound Emperor

He shook his head. “Tell me, who exactly is this Hong Ze?”

“His father is the Lord of Sun Mountain, one of the Seventy-Two Million Mountains,” Wang Lin explained. “Sun Mountain ranks in the top three. Their power is immense. Even the Ancient Demon Race’s patriarch shows them respect. So over time, he’s become arrogant. No one dares provoke him.”

“Interesting,” Xu Zimo said.

“Don’t worry about revenge, Brother Xu,” Wang Lin said quickly. “My father is also a Mountain Lord, though our mountain isn’t as strong as Sun Mountain, protecting you is no problem.”

As they were talking, a sudden commotion spread through the hall.

“The Demonic Sound Emperor has arrived! Everyone, be quiet!” someone whispered urgently.

At once, the once-bustling Victory Tower fell silent.

The Demonic Sound Emperor was an elder known for his mastery of music and resonance, his hearing was said to be extraordinary.

Anyone who spoke while he was present risked being reprimanded, or worse, denied entry into the Ancient Demon Road.

Given his seniority and power, no one dared to disobey.

Xu Zimo looked up as an old man in a crimson robe strode in, his presence radiating authority.

What drew everyone’s attention, however, were his ears, large as screens, shaped like the cross-sections of a great tree, with ringed patterns swirling like age lines.

“The Ancient Demon Road is about to open,” the elder said without preamble. “You all know the rules, but I’ll repeat them once more. The Ancient Demon Road will remain open for seven days. After that, no matter your situation, you’ll be forcibly brought back out. As for where you’ll be sent within the Ancient Demon Road, that depends entirely on luck.”

“Understood, Elder,” someone answered respectfully.

“The inheritance must be claimed through your own skill and fate,” the Demonic Sound Emperor continued. “No killing among yourselves.”
