Chapter 44. World-Destroying Villain Descends the Mountain

Lin Nuo, well-prepared with Meat Floss Cakes, stepped onto his Spirit Sword and left Tianling Mountain, soaring into the sky, gliding through the mist with remarkable flair.

Huang City was quite far from Tianling Mountain, requiring a long time to ride the Spirit Sword, consuming a lot of spiritual energy, and it was easy for the rider to tire out.

However, Lin Nuo thought, as a world-destroying supervillain, this distance was practically nothing.

“I can reach Huang City in half an hour at full speed.”

Time is of the essence in battle, so he stepped on the gas, pushing the speed to the max, like a man tearing through the sky and clouds, leaving a faint white mist trail against the blue backdrop.

Half an hour later, he would arrive at Huang City—far more than enough time.

Charge! A villain should have the momentum to shatter the sky! Unstoppable, invincible!

One hour later.

On a small country road, a handsome guy was strolling with a long sword in hand, while a few dogs barked feverishly by the roadside.

“This script is a bit off. Why don’t I have any spiritual power left? I still have several miles to Huang City!”

Lin Nuo was in a bind; he’d run out of fuel mid-flight, almost crashing! This second-tier spiritual body was truly garbage; flying, my butt! Almost cost me my life.

What now? I promised half an hour, but I can’t fly anymore midway. Walk there? How much time would that waste?

Moreover, I don’t have enough Meat Floss Cakes left!

“I need to think of a solution.”

Looking around, Lin Nuo spotted a few fine horses tethered nearby.

Great, they looked like fine steeds; time to pick one. Yep, that one munching mud and grass.

He could tell that horse had an owner, but so what? A supervillain like him burns, kills, and loots without a care—stealing a horse is perfectly normal, right?

Yes, villains should act like villains, and now that he’d run away from Tianling Mountain, he could act without restraint.

Lin Nuo dragged his sword over, just about to mount the horse when suddenly a Daoist in a brown robe burst out, shouting furiously, “What are you doing? What bad intentions do you have?!”

Lin Nuo felt like a true villain now. Yes! Let’s provoke him openly, get him riled up, and when he strikes, I’ll snatch the horse right from under his nose. Kill with heart!

Little Daoist, encountering me, Lin Nuo, is your misfortune.

Lin Nuo scoffed, “Just moving your horse.”

Hearing this, the Daoist was infuriated: “In broad daylight, you dare to act so brazenly! I must uphold justice today!”

Oh? Uphold justice? I am justice; go have a nap.

With that angry shout, several other Daoists in brown robes ran out from the house, standing in front of Lin Nuo.

Suddenly, there were several more people, and Lin Nuo felt that this wave of robbery wouldn’t go as smoothly.

But he had no plans to back down; today, he must steal a horse.

“Third Senior Brother, this person wants to steal our horse!” the Daoist shouted, turning to a taller Daoist.

That Daoist took one look at Lin Nuo and was instantly shocked.

“It’s the great hero Lin! Salute, great hero Lin!”

The Third Senior Brother promptly knelt down in respect.

“Third Senior Brother, what is this…?”

“Junior Brother, don’t be rude! This is Lin Nuo, the great hero who saved me in Wind Sea Forest! He single-handedly defeated the Heavenly Grade Li Long and the Demon Sect disciples, saving everyone!”

“Ah, this…”

The Daoist was stunned; so this was the legendary Lin Nuo of the sect!

Frightened, he hurriedly knelt to apologize, “My apologies, great hero Lin! I didn’t recognize your greatness and have offended you. Please don’t take it to heart!”

Lin Nuo: “…”

Whoa, this scenario feels oddly familiar.

Wait, why is everyone calling me ‘great hero’ now?

“I believe there’s a misunderstanding between Junior Brother and great hero Lin. Great hero, if you fancy any horse, feel free to take it.” The Third Senior Brother chuckled kindly.

Lin Nuo had lost all interest in stealing a horse now.

He’d intended to provoke them and enjoy a villainous thrill, but instead, here he was being treated like the great hero and handed a horse.

Fine, whatever, not interested anymore.

“I don’t need it.”

Lin Nuo waved his hand and turned to leave.

But in front of him stretched a long, endless road.

Several miles? My legs would be wrecked.

After a long while, dust rose as a spirited youth galloped by on horseback.

…

Arriving at Huang City, Lin Nuo followed the letter’s instructions to meet the commander of the royal army.

It was a somewhat luxurious estate where the city lord housed the royal military.

Guided by a servant in the house, Lin Nuo proceeded to meet the general.

The general was in the living room, where two other men dressed in robes, swords in hand, stood with ambition.

“Sir, Master Lin has arrived.”

The servant led Lin Nuo into the living room and promptly withdrew.

Seeing Lin Nuo, the general greeted him with a polite smile, then his expression grew serious:

“Alright, everyone’s here. Thank you, representatives of the three major sects, for coming to assist us in finding the princess. This is truly our oversight, and we’re deeply sorry for involving everyone.”

Lin Nuo shot him a glance.

Okay, enough chit chat. Get to the point quickly; I still need to hit the Black Market!
