But a few days ago, Father got me a special medicine. After I drank it, I started feeling much better,” she answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo nodded but said nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above them, the cries of the northern foxes grew sharper and shriller. Billions filled the sky, blotting out the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good,” Xu Zimo murmured under his breath. “The more chaos, the better.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the gates of the Chu estate, Chu Feiyang’s expression tightened. Then, forcing a smile, he said, “Ancestor Yunfei, there must be some misunderstanding. The deaths of the two Northern Hills clansmen grieve us deeply, but they were not caused by us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Misunderstanding?” Ji Yunfei said coolly. “Then bring out your daughter. We have ways to learn the truth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My daughter has suffered from illness since childhood. It is well known she cannot see guests. Why force what is impossible?” Chu Feiyang replied evenly, his smile fading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can’t see people, or don’t dare to show her?” Ji Yunfei snorted. “Enough talk. The deaths of the fox clan will not go unpunished!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his command, countless Northern Hills foxes dove down from the sky, attacking in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They surrounded the entire Chu estate. Ji Yunfei’s voice rang out across the heavens: “The Northern Hills Fox Clan declares war only on the Chu Heavenly Clan. All others, stay clear, you will not be harmed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ancestor Yunfei, must you push things this far?” Chu Feiyang asked, his eyes narrowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was your family that caused this,” Ji Yunfei said coldly. “Why pretend otherwise?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the fox army surged forward, a series of explosions thundered from within the Chu estate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who dares trespass in my Chu Heavenly Clan?” a furious voice roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Powerful auras erupted as several figures shot into the air, their presence shaking the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s the Six Great Protectors of the Chu Heavenly Clan,” someone outside murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Patriarch Chu, we won’t get involved in this,” Jiang Mozi said with a chuckle, backing away from the gates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other sect leaders quickly followed suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To them, this was just one beast devouring another, a spectacle best watched from afar. Whoever interfered now would only end up bloodied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the Northern Hills foxes clashed fiercely with the Chu Heavenly Clan’s forces. The entire estate became a battlefield, buildings crumbled, cries and explosions filled the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the chaos, Chu Feiyang looked up at Ji Yunfei. “What do you really want? The Northern Hills Fox Clan doesn’t have the strength to destroy the Chu Heavenly Clan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s find out,” Ji Yunfei answered coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a massive hand appeared out of thin air, descending from the heavens. It slammed directly down on Ji Yunfei’s position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t dodge, he was struck hard and sent crashing from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In my Chu Heavenly Clan’s presence, don’t stand so high,” a deep male voice said calmly. “The fall will only hurt worse.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Yunfei staggered to his feet, his eyes searching the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From within the Chu estate walked a man with the stride of a dragon and the strength of a tiger, dressed in a bright crimson robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His silver hair was tied high on his head. Though his years showed, his spirit burned fiercely, his face glowing with vitality. Power pulsed from his body like a storm barely contained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s a Sovereign Lord,” someone whispered in awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final stage before stepping into the Saint Sovereign stage, one step short of godhood itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s Chu Feixiong,” another voice gasped. “The 160th patriarch of the Chu Heavenly Clan, and the one hailed as the greatest in its history.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed. The Chu Heavenly Clan’s golden age was built by his hands.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Patriarch, it’s been a long time,” came a voice from above, carrying both familiarity and mockery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Feixiong’s gaze lifted sharply toward the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, an old man rode upon a celestial fox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fox’s fur was pure as snow, its twin wings glimmering with divine light, and its eyes shone a deep ocean blue. The man atop it wore flowing immortal robes. His white beard and hair streamed in the wind, his presence calm yet boundless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His aura was both human and divine, impossible to tell where one ended and the other began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ji Shang,” Chu Feixiong said evenly, locking eyes with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You Chu Heavenly Clan people,” Ji Shang said from above with a cold smile, “the more time passes, the more disgraceful you become.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This matter was indeed a mistake of my Chu Heavenly Clan,” Chu Feixiong said after a pause. “Name your condition.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No condition,” Ji Yunfei interjected. “Only blood for blood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then there’s nothing more to discuss,” Chu Feixiong said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“War!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That single word shook the heavens. Power erupted from his body, surging straight into the void. Flames roared to life around him. He rose into the sky, wielding a long sword engraved with fiery runes, and charged toward Ji Shang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The celestial fox let out a long, piercing cry that tore through the heavens. Ji Shang spread his arms, releasing divine feathers that glowed with the power of both fire and ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the two clashed, the entire sky spanning billions of miles locked down, half frozen in crystalline ice, half blazing in searing fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone else was forced to retreat far from this terrible battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m leaving now,” Xu Zimo said with a smile, standing up in the quiet courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big brother, are you really going?” the little girl asked quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now that I know the truth, of course I must,” Xu Zimo said lightly. “The waters aren’t muddy enough yet. I’ll go stir them up a bit more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When will you come back?” she asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I won’t,” he said, waving his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before leaving, he plucked a leaf from the Tree of Life and handed it to her. “It can’t cure your illness, but it will keep you safe for a hundred years.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the courtyard, his divine sense spread across the entire Chu estate. Feeling something, his eyes turned toward the deepest part of the compound, and his figure vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunder Serpent Valley, the Chu Heavenly Clan’s forbidden ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Chu Heavenly Clan records, a thunder serpent of the Grand Emperor realm resided there. And that serpent was merely the guardian beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a Grand Emperor-level creature served only as protector, one could imagine how terrifying the being it guarded must be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For generations, only the patriarch himself had the right to enter. No one else ever had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xu Zimo reappeared, he stood at the edge of the Thunder Serpent Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My senses were right. It’s here,” he murmured, walking forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as he approached, three bronze figures stepped in front of him, each holding a staff inscribed with sacred sigils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is forbidden ground,” one intoned. “Turn back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wish to meet Madman Chu,” Xu Zimo said directly.\u003C\u002Fp>",1230,"2026-06-06T01:07:12.426Z",1,"novelbin.me","4675ece925e8446fbb29065b252602f1e8671ca58373b1bbe657d478eb0a7315","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1233","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1231",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
