The ruling bloodline of the Divine Crow God Realm,” the first person explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who’s bold enough to do that? The Shangguan Heavenly Clan has dominated the Divine Crow God Realm for countless years, even the other great regions give them face.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, the Divine Crow God Realm was ruled by the Shangguan Heavenly Clan, whose lineage stretched back to the distant ancient era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For hundreds of millions of years, they had reigned unchallenged. Even among the Seven Great God Realms, few powers could stand against them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as that was said, the surrounding crowd grew animated, everyone eager to see who dared defy the Shangguan Heavenly Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard it’s a man and a woman,” the speaker continued. “They seem to know someone from the Shangguan Heavenly Clan. Anyway, let’s go see for ourselves!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where’s the duel taking place?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At the bottom of the Eastern Valley,” came the reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that, Xu Zimo immediately thought of Shangguan Xian and the Violet Mist Saint Sovereign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know the challengers’ names, but his instinct told him it must be them. After all, Shangguan Xian was herself a member of the Shangguan Heavenly Clan, though she had long been at odds with her family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go take a look,” Xu Zimo said, turning to Realm Lord Bai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t think you were the type to enjoy a spectacle,” she teased. “I thought nothing ever interested you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A maid should act like a maid. Don’t talk so much,” Xu Zimo smiled calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realm Lord Bai pressed her lips together and didn’t dare argue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo actually didn’t know where the Eastern Valley was, but that didn’t matter, he simply followed the flow of people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As one of the Seven Great God Realms, anything involving the Shangguan Heavenly Clan naturally drew immense attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that someone had issued them a challenge, the entire realm was buzzing. Even the other regions were taking notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xu Zimo and his companions reached the so-called Eastern Valley, they discovered it was a lush green gorge surrounded by dense forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crowds filled the surrounding cliffs; it was nearly impossible to squeeze through. Fortunately, Xu Zimo and his group stood at a high vantage point and could see everything that was happening below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the valley stood two opposing sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one side was the Shangguan Heavenly Clan, their members gathered in force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other stood Shangguan Xian and the Violet Mist Saint Sovereign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Shangguan Xian was heavily injured, kneeling weakly on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her, the Violet Mist Saint Sovereign radiated immense power, his saintly aura rolling across the valley like a tidal wave, suppressing all around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before him stood a middle-aged man dressed in a green robe that fluttered in the breeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man was the current overlord of the Shangguan Heavenly Clan, Shangguan Xiongba.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his waist hung a gourd, and his gaze was sharp as he looked across at the Violet Mist Saint Sovereign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why do you insist on interfering?” Shangguan Xiongba asked coldly. “No matter what she’s done, she’s still my daughter. This is the Shangguan Heavenly Clan’s private affair.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t give a damn about your family matters,” the Violet Mist Saint Sovereign replied evenly. “All I know is that she’s a friend of my friend, and that means I will protect her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, you intend to make an enemy of the Shangguan Heavenly Clan?” Shangguan Xiongba’s eyes narrowed. His tone was calm but dangerous. “You may be a Saint Sovereign, but you should know, Saint Sovereigns can die too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re threatening me?” the Violet Mist Saint Sovereign asked, his voice growing cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To threaten a Saint Sovereign was an insult of the highest order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world, aside from Infinite Dao beings or supreme Sage Monarchs, few dared challenge one so powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But everyone watching knew, the Shangguan Heavenly Clan had the strength to make such threats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A surge of power erupted from Shangguan Xiongba’s body as several gray-robed figures stepped out from behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wore the same clan insignia and exuded an aura that interlinked between them, forming a force almost equal to that of a Saint Sovereign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They can rival a Saint Sovereign?” someone in the crowd gasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re not Saint Sovereigns,” another observer explained. “They’re Grand Emperors at their peak. But their cultivation technique allows their combined aura to reach the level of a Saint Sovereign’s might.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Either way, this doesn’t look good for that man.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s test that theory,” the Violet Mist Saint Sovereign said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brilliant violet radiance burst from him like the first light of dawn, flooding the entire valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three gray-robed men formed a triangle around him, each drawing the curved blades at their waists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In perfect unison, they charged forward, slashing at the Saint Sovereign with explosive force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact was thunderous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone, get back!” someone in the crowd shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Battles of this magnitude could easily destroy the entire valley, and anyone too close would be buried in the aftermath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Explosions erupted one after another as the Violet Mist Saint Sovereign clashed with the three attackers. The ground quaked violently, rocks splitting and trees shattering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realm Lord Bai glanced at Xu Zimo. “Maybe we should move back a bit,” she suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Move back? Why? We’re going down there,” Xu Zimo replied casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd was already scattering in panic, creating just enough space for him to descend into the valley below, moving against the flow of retreating people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The ones you’re walking toward are the Shangguan Heavenly Clan,” Realm Lord Bai said nervously. “Shouldn’t we stay out of this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who said I came to watch?” Xu Zimo replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped into the valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle raged on, shaking the earth. The Violet Mist Saint Sovereign fought fiercely against the three gray-robed elders, their combined attacks making the air tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Shangguan Xian lay wounded nearby, too weak to stand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Xiongba walked slowly toward her, his expression calm but cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Had enough yet? Did you really think having a single Saint Sovereign on your side would let you challenge the Shangguan Heavenly Clan?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I never thought it was a game,” Shangguan Xian said with a cold laugh. “You still think I’m the little girl who once needed your approval?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You should know our clan’s rules are strict,” Shangguan Xiongba said. “For your behavior, the punishment should be at least a hundred years of confinement.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I stopped considering myself part of your family long ago,” Shangguan Xian sneered. “You might as well just banish me outright!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1176,"2026-06-06T01:07:18.292Z",1,"novelbin.me","472d72a95ebfe2ee21eca821375e573f86b9fafa16e439eb978d4e3a6d22a2b3","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1481","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1479",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
