I fought him once. We’re mortal enemies,” Xu Zimo replied. “He just ran fast. Otherwise, I would have killed him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo knew that the junior brother King Sky-Sage referred to was Mortal Sovereign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real Mortal Sovereign had likely died long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current Mortal Sovereign was probably an impostor, a former disciple of the Human Sovereign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Luo Mingyue’s mother, she must have discovered Mortal Sovereign’s secret long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why she had stolen the box early on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside that box was the jade token that controlled the entire Human Sovereign Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That token was extremely important to the fake Mortal Sovereign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately for him, Luo Mingyue’s mother took her daughter and went into hiding, changing their names. He could not find them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after the mother died did Luo Mingyue return to retrieve the box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Xu Zimo’s appearance caused everything to go awry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Mortal Sovereign did not move against Luo Mingyue earlier was because he feared the box would disappear forever, never to be found again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, only Luo Mingyue’s mother knew where the box was hidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet once Luo Mingyue obtained the box, before Mortal Sovereign could seize it, she encountered Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so the box fell into Xu Zimo’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you had killed my junior brother, it would have been revenge for me,” King Sky-Sage said. “The demons breaking free had a lot to do with him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His teeth were clenched in hatred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re here for my master’s inheritance?” he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“More precisely, I’m here for the Otherworldly Demon Stone,” Xu Zimo replied. “As for the inheritance, I’ve already found a suitable person.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s an Otherworldly Demon hiding inside the demon stone...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, I know,” Xu Zimo interrupted. “I’ve met the Human Sovereign.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve met my master?!” King Sky-Sage asked joyfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“More accurately, just a remnant soul,” Xu Zimo said. “This demon stone is the key to forming my Primordial Spirit. I must obtain it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you want the demon stone, I have no objections,” King Sky-Sage replied. “But the Human Sovereign Palace is now on the brink of destruction. I also need your help.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you want me to wipe out the demons, I really can’t do that,” Xu Zimo said. “You were a powerful Infinite Dao cultivator and still fell. Someone like me, a newly ascended Infinite Dao, probably won’t be of much help.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No. You have the palace jade token, don’t you?” King Sky-Sage asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You want me to take control of the Human Sovereign Palace?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly. Although my master has passed on, he left behind boundless power within this palace,” King Sky-Sage explained. “As long as you can control the Human Sovereign Palace, destroying the demons will be effortless. At that point, everything here will belong to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The jade token must be placed in a specific location to take effect,” Xu Zimo said. “Let me guess. That location should be inside the Human Sovereign Academy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, King Sky-Sage nodded bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone could think of that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And naturally, the demons would think of it as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a massive threat would certainly be heavily guarded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is there another way?” Xu Zimo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can go all out and barely hold back Bone Demon,” King Sky-Sage replied. “As for the other demons, you’ll have to deal with them yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s a bit difficult,” Xu Zimo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great rewards come with great risks,” King Sky-Sage replied. “If you don’t eliminate the demons, you won’t get the Otherworldly Demon Stone either.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How many demons are there here?” Xu Zimo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My master spent his entire life suppressing demons,” King Sky-Sage said with a bitter smile. “I don’t actually know how many there are. If I had to estimate, at least several hundred. Some may have already died during the suppression.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Several hundred,” Xu Zimo murmured, stroking his chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not want to use the power of his God World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he did, there was a risk of exposure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that happened, the Heavenly Dao might disregard all rules just to kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, we still have one more source of support,” King Sky-Sage suddenly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In this Discipline Hall, there is a stone stele,” King Sky-Sage explained. “It holds the imprints of many of my senior brothers. If we activate it, they can help you fight the demons.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then activate it,” Xu Zimo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not that simple. The consciousness of my senior brothers is in deep slumber,” King Sky-Sage said. “To awaken them, blood is required. A great deal of blood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Will demon blood work?” Xu Zimo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course. Demon blood is even better at stimulating their awakening,” King Sky-Sage replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then that works. Open the Discipline Hall. Let’s welcome the demons,” Xu Zimo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve thought this through?” King Sky-Sage asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Does it matter whether I have or not?” Xu Zimo chuckled. “Not like we got a choice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, King Sky-Sage nodded and said no more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The doors of the Discipline Hall opened, and a beam of light shot skyward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It immediately drew the attention of all the demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stone stele deep within the Discipline Hall was also dragged out by Xu Zimo and placed at the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo stood guard at the doorway, Shadow Tyrant in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve found him,” a demon shouted not long after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before it could finish speaking, it was met with the endless blade intent of Shadow Tyrant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood scattered and splashed onto the stone stele.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo stood calmly, blade lowered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a large group of demons rushed over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Capture him. The master will reward us greatly,” a demon roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo’s gaze turned cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadow Tyrant flashed. One slash meant one dead demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clean and decisive. No mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, corpses were piled upon the stele.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their demonic blood was especially striking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xu Zimo killed more and more demons, those arriving grew increasingly powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the seductive demon arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was the strongest demon under Bone Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well now, looks like we have an interesting little fellow here,” she laughed softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little brother, are you interested in joining us demons? I can decide for you and give you a chance to live.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The blood should be enough by now,” Xu Zimo ignored her and turned his gaze to the stele.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Massive demonic energy surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From within the stele, one powerful aura after another began to erupt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that the scholars of the Human Sovereign Palace were awakening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, the entire Discipline Hall was completely surrounded by demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Xu Zimo had killed many, their numbers still exceeded his expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the sky above, a terrifying figure loomed, suppressing everything.\u003C\u002Fp>",1178,"2026-06-06T01:07:28.720Z",1,"novelbin.me","27c651ea6df96568ce52878b5b48a736a2595ed26c130fb74bdd7e80394856c9","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1692","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1690",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
