"After a hundred years, I've finally reached the peak," Su Tiange sighed while seated on the magnificent palace throne, chin resting in his palm.

"It hasn't been easy—gradually, a simple, honest child like me has become the suzerain of the Demon Sect in this fantasy world. My cultivation even ranks at the top of the domain. It's saddening."

"Sect Master, Elder Zhou requests an audience with you," a man in black knelt respectfully after appearing in the void.

"Xuan."

"Yes, suzerain." The man in black retreated.

Shortly after, a disheveled fat man rushed into the main hall.

"Sovereign Lord, whom I deeply respect and serve, I've finally found the person you seek!" shouted Zhou Dafu, the Heavenly Demon Sect's deputy suzerain, tearfully.

"Speak English," Su Tiange said indifferently, glancing at the fat man.

"I've found someone named Xiao Huo in Wu Tuo City, a small city in the Jana Empire's Tianhuang Prefecture in the Southern Region. Three days ago, Xiao Huo was divorced by the Murong family of another Wu Tuo city family. Sovereign, this person seems to have remarkable luck. He might be the one you're searching for," Zhou Dafu said excitedly, reporting from his subordinates' findings.

"Xiao Huo? Retire? Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi?"

Su Tiange's body shook, and his eyes gradually brightened.

Really!

Really!

Damn it, he knew he had the wrong script!

When Su Tiange arrived in this world, he initially believed he was the protagonist, but gradually he began to feel that something was amiss.

What kind of protagonist exists within the underworld sect and engages in reckless behavior? Why does he feel more like a villain? This led Su Tiange to task his subordinates with investigating any individuals possessing exceptional luck in this world.

Before, he had found several suspects, but unfortunately, they didn't fit the bill. However, this time was different.

If it weren't for the protagonist, he'd have been in deep trouble!

"My lord, my subordinates also discovered something else during the investigation. It seems that there's a soul entity concealed within Xiao Huo's body. This soul seems to belong to an elder who fled from our sacred sect over 30 years ago. Tianjiao," Zhou Dafu said respectfully.

"...," Su Tiange pondered.

Why does this storyline feel so peculiar?

Hiss... he must have ended up with the script of the villain, right???

Darn it!

"Do you know what needs to be done?" Su Tiange asked Zhou Dafu, scrutinizing him.

"Don't worry, Suzerain, the subordinates understand."

"This subordinate will relay the order to the master of the Eighth Palace of the Holy Sect and the ten elders of our Sect. Then, I will instruct 108 true disciples and 10,000 inner sect disciples to accompany us in eliminating this Xiao Huo," Zhou Dafu said, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Is such a commotion necessary?"

"My lord, what do you mean..."

"My lord, take action yourself. Then pass on my order to instruct the five elders who are in seclusion or resting to come out. Inform them that our Holy Sect is facing imminent danger of destruction and they must act," Su Tiange rose slowly, speaking indifferently.

He knows better than anyone who the protagonist is. Wanting to kill the protagonist? Then give it your best shot, or else you'll truly become a stepping stone for the protagonist.

If it doesn't concern him, is he the ultimate villain? The protagonist must be eliminated first!

"..." Zhou Dafu remained composed.

"My lord is indeed worthy of his title, handling matters far surpassing the security level of a mere villain. The admiration a villain holds for my lord is akin to..."

"You needn't flatter me. Do you understand what needs to be done?" Su Tiange interrupted Zhou Dafu.

"The subordinate understands that weeds must be eradicated. I will begin by encircling Wu Tuo city and... initiating a city-wide slaughter," Zhou Dafu said grimly.

"Not enough."

Su Tiange shook his head. Zhou Dafu was slightly taken aback.

"Not enough? Cut the grass to eliminate the root. How can this root be so careless? Investigate the factions connected to the Xiao family and this Xiao Huo," Su Tiange ordered.

"Remember, every detail must be accurate. Explore the enemies of the Xiao family, as well as their allies and partners," Su Tiange emphasized.

Having read numerous novels in his previous life, he knew the main character Su Tiange too well. His character had evolved to be cautious after a century of life in this realm.

"...I will comply with the order immediately," Zhou Dafu responded with admiration. He believed he understood his master well, yet he realized he underestimated him. Truly, listening to the master's advice was more valuable than a decade of learning. The master deserved to be known as the most patriarchal devil in their sect's ten-thousand-year history!

"Dismissed," Su Tiange waved his hand.

"I will take my leave," Zhou Dafu bowed and stepped back.

"Ding! The system has detected the master's interaction with the fortunate individual, and the strongest villain system is now activating..."
