I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 406 About Kuilong
A quarter of an hour later.

A long black sword with a whole body, blood lines covering the entire body of the sword, a man with an extremely frightened expression, and an old and treacherous laugh
It has been more than half a year since Wei Changtian saw this scene last time, except that the death row prisoner was changed, everything else is so similar.

"Jie Jie Jie Jie!"

"Boy, long time no see."

The sound of the black long sword made the eyes of the man in shackles widen. He crawled to the corner of the room on both hands and feet, his eyes full of fear.

But Wei Changtian turned a blind eye to this, just stared at Xuantianjian and said slowly:
"Senior, can you still mobilize the people of Kuilong?"

"I want to make another deal with you."

The last time Wei Changtian summoned the remnants of the Xuantian Sword was at the Tianluo Sect.

At that time, he had just returned from seeing Wei Yanyu in Jizhou, and accidentally got a token engraved with "Kuilong" from the old Zhangtou.

This incident made Wei Changtian eager to know the truth about Kuilong, so he made a deal with Remnant Soul.

Five death row prisoners, with a total lifespan of [-] years, were exchanged for some information about Kuilong.

From Remnant Soul's mouth, Wei Changtian learned that Kuilong is actually a mysterious organization that was established thousands of years ago and is still operating today.

The original intention of Kuilong was to pursue the first-grade realm that no one has ever reached, and has made many attempts for this purpose.

They will collect all kinds of cultivation geniuses from all over the world, and then train them to take various cultivation paths since childhood, trying to find a way to break through the shackles of the first rank.

But unfortunately, until two thousand years ago, this great cause has never been able to make any substantial progress.

However, because of this, Kuilong has a second-rank master far surpassing any other forces, and it can be regarded as unintentional, and somehow became the number one sect in the world, and it was in the limelight for a while.

And maybe it's because of too many failures in the pursuit of "one more step forward", or maybe it's because of the expansion of this secular power.

So [-] years ago, there was a split within Kuilong for the first time.

To put it simply, there are a group of people who are unwilling to explore the unreachable first-grade realm.

They don't want to be "experiments" to fall into the realm in vain, or even die. Instead, they feel that there is nothing wrong with being "No. [-] in the world".

On the contrary, another group of people still have to firmly pursue that original goal.

With the passage of time, the contradictions between the two sides intensified, and finally reached the point of irreconcilability.

Thus, a war that was hardly known to the outside world started quietly.

This is a protracted battle that spans decades.

The final result is naturally that the "abandonment faction" who has more external forces won the victory.

In this way, Kuilong was divided, and the "Persistence faction" was driven from the ground to the ground, completely disappearing from everyone's sight.

Until a thousand years ago, the appearance of two characters turned the situation upside down again.

Both of them belong to the "persistent faction".

One of them is first-class, and the other is true immortal.

The appearance of First Grade Realm and even True Immortal undoubtedly proves the success of the "Perseverance Faction", although no one knows how they did it.

But anyway, these people hold a grudge.

They began to completely wipe out Kuilong's "abandonment faction" by means of assassination, and killed hundreds of upper third-rank masters in a few years.

The "abandonment faction" unable to resist the true immortals had to bow their heads and admit defeat, and returned to the original "underground organization" state, and this form has continued to this day.

They still have huge power, and they still have countless masters under their command.

However, the fear of the "immortal sword" that could be chopped off at any time still lingered.

They don't dare to act in a high-profile way anymore, and they generally don't interfere in the affairs of various countries. They just still search for all kinds of cultivation geniuses in the world, trying to find the way to break through to the first rank and then become immortals.

In fact, at this time, the goals of the "abandonment faction" and the "persistence faction" have reunited, and the latter has even achieved this goal.

But the "persistence faction" who had their revenge just disappeared, leaving only an unsolved mystery about "becoming a fairy" to the few insiders.

No one knows how to break through to the first rank, how to become a fairy.

All you know is that it can be done.

In this way, in the following hundreds of years, the "abandonment faction" began to continue to try various methods on their own, while trying to find clues of the "persistent faction", and then unlock this secret.

The five masters who died in Yanyun Mountain that night were selected by Kuilong under such circumstances, so that they could become the second rank.

They cannot participate in any secular power struggles, and they need to work for Kuilong while they are alive, search for all clues about the "Perseverance", and then use them as "experiments" to try to break through the first-rank realm before the deadline comes.

And if they died unfortunately due to other circumstances before that, Kui Long would not avenge them.

Because today's "abandonment faction" is the same as the previous "persistence faction", except for becoming a fairy, they are no longer interested in anything else.
The above is what Remnant Soul told Wei Changtian about Kuilong, and it is also the reason why Wei Changtian no longer worried about revenge from Kuilong after that.

As for the origin of the remnant soul, it is only mentioned in the original book that it has been in the Xuantian Sword for thousands of years.

Calculating in this way, it should be the group of people who first established Kuilong.

Since it has been staying in the Xuantian Sword, why can it know what happened afterwards?

How can it mobilize the masters among Kui Long?

Wei Changtian had asked such questions, but Remnant Soul didn't answer them.

And now the reason why he awakened the remnant soul again was not to ask these questions.

What a first-class true immortal is too far away from me.

It is true to borrow a few masters for use.

"Senior, I want to borrow five second-rank masters to help me with one thing."

Under the astonished eyes of the death row prisoner in the corner, Wei Changtian said calmly: "How many years of life, you make a price."

"Five."

The remnant soul paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "Boy, I can find him for you, but the old man needs to explain clearly to you first."

"It's okay to do things, but if you kill people, they won't help you kill emperors, generals and the like."

Is this the so-called non-involvement in secular power struggles?

"Senior, don't worry, it's not murder."

Wei Changtian shook his head: "It's to save people."

"That's fine."

The remnant soul was also straightforward, hearing the words, he immediately gave the conditions: "One thousand years of life, pay the money first and then do the work."

"A thousand years?"

Wei Changtian squinted his eyes.

In a thousand years, even if a prisoner on death row can live for thirty years, it would take more than thirty people.

It's not that there aren't so many death row inmates in Shuzhou, he just thinks that this remnant soul is a bit of a lion.

Although I don't know how much life Xiao Feng paid for the battle in Yanyun Mountain, but in the original book, it only took twenty years of life to replace three second-rank masters.

How did this Nima come to me for a thousand years?
"Okay, a thousand years is a thousand years."

Although he was a little upset, Wei Changtian didn't bother to bargain, and turned around to let Chen Bo arrange someone.

But just before he pushed the door to go out, he still couldn't help asking a question.

"Senior, last time you also helped Xiao Feng find five second-ranks. I wonder how much life yuan you asked him for at that time?"

"Thirty years."

The remnant soul gave the answer very simply, and then sneered as if guessing what Wei Changtian was thinking: "Why, do you think this old man treats one more than another?"

"Then how about this, if you are willing to sacrifice your own lifespan like Xiao Feng, the old man only wants you for thirty years?"

"Pull it down."

Wei Changtian curled his lips and rejected the suggestion without hesitation.

But Remnant Soul suddenly became interested.

"Jie Jie Jie, boy, the old man is suddenly curious about something."

"If the old man has to ask for your lifespan this time, I wonder if you will give it?"

"."

The figure paused slightly, Wei Changtian did not hesitate too much.

"Ken."

"Jie Jie Jie! But sincerely? You weren't like this when the old man saw you last time."

"senior."

Wei Changtian turned his head and glanced at Xuantianjian.

"People always change."
