The sky fell into an empty, deathly silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ancestor of Thousand Sovereign Gate was annihilated, leaving not even bones behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Ye Qingcheng turn around. She had also noticed Ji Zhan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked over slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ho–Holy Maiden, greetings, Holy Maiden,” Ji Zhan hurriedly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where is your master?” Ye Qingcheng asked softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My master… went to the Three Corpse Burial Ground,” Ji Zhan replied hesitantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he spoke, Ye Qingcheng’s expression changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why go to such a place?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We offended Thousand Sovereign Gate. My master wanted to become stronger. There is something in the Three Corpse Burial Ground that he needs,” Ji Zhan explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come with me. We’ll go to the Three Corpse Burial Ground to rescue him then,” Ye Qingcheng said, grabbing Ji Zhan as she prepared to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo chuckled nearby. “No need to rush. The Three Corpse Burial Ground hasn’t opened yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingcheng frowned slightly and looked at him. “Who are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ruhu is my brother,” Xu Zimo said directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingcheng was momentarily stunned and turned her gaze toward Ji Zhan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Zhan quickly nodded. “This lord and I were originally planning to go to the Three Corpse Burial Ground to rescue my master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Three Corpse Burial Ground is special,” Ye Qingcheng said, nodding. “It only opens for a few years at specific times. However, I know that as long as you find the key, you can enter it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where is the key?” Xu Zimo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three Corpse City,” Ye Qingcheng replied. “But I don’t know the exact location. The key is found by different people each year.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then once things here are settled, we’ll go to Three Corpse City to look for the key,” Xu Zimo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s in the Three Corpse Burial Ground with his life hanging in the balance, and you still have the mood to look for some inheritance here?” Ye Qingcheng said coldly, clearly displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve looked at Ruhu’s fate. He should be in a very special state right now, with no danger to his life,” Xu Zimo replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you won’t go, I’ll go myself and save him,” Ye Qingcheng said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, she boarded the immortal palanquin and departed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Zhan looked torn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, we…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tell me, would Ruhu rather be saved by two grown men like us, or by a beautiful woman?” Xu Zimo said with a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Zhan froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The master’s wife you mentioned… is the Holy Maiden of Jade Court?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right. Jade Court’s influence is enormous. If even Jade Court can’t find the key, what could we do by going?” Xu Zimo asked in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once the Three Corpse Burial Ground opens, we’ll know immediately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand,” Ji Zhan nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re letting Ye Qingcheng save my master and trying to bring them together, right? We only step in if it really comes down to it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not we. Me,” Xu Zimo corrected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Zhan chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the sky was split apart by two extreme forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One half was immortal mist, the other beastly energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Immortal Maiden Palace and the Stork-Sparrow Race have arrived!” someone shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is bad. The Stork-Sparrow Race is always arrogant. They won’t take us seriously.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At least Immortal Maiden Palace is pleasant to look at,” someone joked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd erupted into discussion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo only learned afterward, through Ouyang Xiu, that the Stork-Sparrow Race was actually one of the Sixteen Beast Races.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the Upper Heavens, there was one heaven called the Azure Mystic Heaven, ruled by the beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sixteen Beast Races were the rulers of that domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As one of the Sixteen, the Stork-Sparrow Race might not be the strongest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But their reproductive ability was unmatched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was said that among all beast races, the Stork-Sparrow Race alone accounted for one percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One percent might not sound like much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But among countless beast races, with billions of flourishing races, this number was terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Upper Heavens, other beast races were confined to the Azure Mystic Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the Stork-Sparrow Race spread throughout the entire Upper Heavens, with overwhelming numbers and endless descendants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, they were extremely vengeful and tightly united.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made many powers unwilling to provoke them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Immortal Maiden Palace, it was a rather special force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were originally affiliated with Jade Court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, Immortal Maiden Palace produced a remarkable figure named Myriad Forest Dao Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under his leadership, Immortal Maiden Palace broke away from Jade Court and established itself independently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both forces were extremely well known in Grand Desolate Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their arrival naturally caused a sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immortal Maiden Palace arrived aboard an immortal vessel, shrouded in mist and radiating ethereal beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From time to time, enchanting figures drifted through the immortal fog, stirring hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Stork-Sparrow Race, they rode nothing at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They flew in, blotting out the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From afar, it didn’t feel overwhelming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But up close, the dense swarm of black dots was enough to trigger trypophobia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once these two forces arrived, the crowd barely had time to react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because divine might surged through the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clouds rolled violently. The void thundered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A divine gate opened in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s the Divine Court. The Divine Court has sent someone down!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There were rumors that the Divine Court had been watching the Poison God’s inheritance all along. Looks like they finally couldn’t hold back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If the Divine Court has made a move, do we still dare to compete with them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you afraid of? There are so many people here. Would the Divine Court really kill us all?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly. The law doesn’t punish the masses. We’ll be fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd clearly wasn’t afraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the divine gate opened, only a single young man stepped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This surprised everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was nothing like the imagined scene of gods descending en masse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe the Divine Court is just sending a junior to gain experience. We overthought it,” some people speculated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Divine Court youth stood alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was quite handsome, with sharp, heroic brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black rectangular case was strapped to his back, ancient and austere in appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Divine Court, Chen Feng,” the young man said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since this formation requires killing to enter, then let it be chaos. Kill ten thousand people, and the formation will open naturally.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, the case on his back began to transform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a divine mechanism, it turned into a long spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spear shattered the void and instantly pierced through more than a dozen people in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since no one else is moving, I’ll start,” Chen Feng said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With those words, shouts erupted from the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1157,"2026-06-06T01:07:29.137Z",1,"novelbin.me","e96e37caedc278afe92531d4f5774bab7b5362b45e6bbcbd32dee7d412681aaf","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1728","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1726",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
