His gaze pierced through layers of void and fell beyond the teleportation formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew they were almost there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, with a loud boom, the teleportation formation seemed to take a heavy blow. A powerful force nearly overturned all three of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, sunlight appeared before their eyes, and the three figures fell out of the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong with this teleportation formation?!” Ouyang Xiu shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo adjusted himself in midair and landed on the ground first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Zhan and the other man, however, crashed heavily onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“People from Corpse City are here. Everyone come take a look!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grab them. No one from Corpse City is good. They even stole my son some time ago.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A chorus of shouting erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Zhan and the others were stunned. Even Xu Zimo froze for a moment when he looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, dozens of Iron-Eating Beasts charged toward them from all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iron-Eating Beasts were what people commonly called giant pandas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All across the mountains and fields, giant pandas stared at Xu Zimo and the other two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight alone was enough to make one’s scalp tingle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, their auras were powerful and their strength astonishing. Every Iron-Eating Beast was like a towering giant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you?” one black-and-white Iron-Eating Beast asked in a childish voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re here for Divine Mountain. We have no intention of offending anyone,” Ji Zhan replied quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s so good about Divine Mountain? Things haven’t been peaceful lately,” another Iron-Eating Beast said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Recently, the Eighteen Blade Purgatory seem to have gone crazy. Someone keeps roaring in anger. I don’t know what’s wrong with them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo knew that after so many Infinite Dao cultivators had died, it would be strange if the Eighteen Blade Purgatory were not furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were probably already issuing bounties for their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Eighteen Blade Purgatory likely never imagined that Xu Zimo and the others would walk straight into Divine Mountain on their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo really wanted to pet a giant panda. But with so many Iron-Eating Beasts around, he feared getting beaten to death by the whole group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he asked, “Have you guys lived here for generations?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course. You humans are all bad. You’re always stealing our cubs,” one Iron-Eating Beast replied angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re only passing through. We mean no harm,” Ji Zhan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several Iron-Eating Beasts snorted coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t trust humans. I’m going to watch you until you leave our territory.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo shook his head and smiled helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ouyang Xiu reminded him from the side, “I’ve heard that not just anyone can enter Divine Mountain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Divine Mountain is protected by the power of edicts. Without its permission, no one can enter,” the Iron-Eating Beast said proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But our Iron-Eating Beast race can. We reign supreme through body cultivation. We aren’t suppressed by edicts and can shatter them with pure physical strength.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then could your clan help us out?” Ouyang Xiu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will, if you trade me Heavenly Immortal Bamboo,” the Iron-Eating Beast said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, seeing that Xu Zimo and the others posed no threat, the rest of the Iron-Eating Beasts gradually dispersed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only this one stepped forward to continue speaking with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is Heavenly Immortal Bamboo?” Ji Zhan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s bamboo watered with the blood of immortals. Eating it allows us to undergo transformation,” the Iron-Eating Beast explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My name is Panda Sixteen. If you have it, I can help you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where can we obtain this Heavenly Immortal Bamboo?” Xu Zimo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know a place left behind by a human cultivator. Only humans can enter it. If you’re capable, you can take it from there,” Panda Sixteen said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright. Take us there,” Xu Zimo replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Panda Sixteen did not object. His chubby figure led the way ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place felt like a paradise beyond the world. The scenery was exceptionally beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emerald-green bamboo grew across the mountains like an endless sea of green.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition to green bamboo, there were black bamboo, white bamboo, purple bamboo, and more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everywhere were bamboo forests of every color, and everywhere were Iron-Eating Beasts gnawing on bamboo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Up ahead is the trading market of our Iron-Eating Beasts. Behave yourselves,” Panda Sixteen warned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Relax. What good things could you Iron-Eating Beasts possibly have?” Ouyang Xiu said with a laugh, shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when they arrived at the market, they realized how wrong he was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The place was filled with all kinds of rare treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Twin Blades, one half life, one half death, obtained after I slew a Grand Emperor. Ten Purple Crystal Bamboo stalks to exchange.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Saint Sovereign blood essence, complete with manifested phenomena. Seven Enlightenment Bamboo stalks to exchange.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Soul-Locking Hairpin, once worn by the Blood Maiden, locking eighty-eight million souls. Only one Longevity Bamboo required.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The market was bustling with activity. Every stall radiated brilliant light, with phenomena appearing one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iron-Eating Beasts stood behind their stalls, shouting enthusiastically to hawk their goods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ouyang Xiu and Ji Zhan were completely stunned. They had thought the market would be unimpressive, but their perspective had been far too small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are these bamboo stalks really that hard to get?” Ouyang Xiu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was even wondering whether he could trade for something himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Each bamboo stalk is at least comparable to an immortal artifact,” Panda Sixteen said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And the bamboo is sentient. It isn’t a dead object. With your level of strength, the two of you probably couldn’t even defeat a single bamboo stalk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That hurts,” Ouyang Xiu and Ji Zhan said with bitter smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo glanced around. He was not particularly interested in these items, but the market itself was lively and fascinating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Panda Sixteen stopped in front of a large mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Embedded in the mountainside was an iron gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gate was already rusted, clearly ancient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s inside here,” Panda Sixteen said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Heavenly Immortal Bamboo is in there?” Ouyang Xiu asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Panda Sixteen ground his teeth and said, “Long ago, a human came here. Our Iron-Eating Beast race treated him kindly. Who would have thought he’d steal our Heavenly Immortal Bamboo and hide inside this mountain. He even set up restrictions that prevent us Iron-Eating Beasts from entering. Only humans can go inside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Panda Sixteen spoke, more Iron-Eating Beasts arrived, bringing other humans with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As long as you retrieve the Heavenly Immortal Bamboo inside, all the treasures of our Iron-Eating Beast race will belong to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were explaining the same conditions to the newly arrived humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Panda Sixteen,” another Iron-Eating Beast called out when it saw him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go in quickly,” Panda Sixteen urged Xu Zimo and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Otherwise, this guy might get ahead of you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No rush. Let them try first. It doesn’t matter,” Xu Zimo said, waving his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just probed the depths of the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There seemed to be something inside that blocked even his divine sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was an Infinite Dao cultivator. The fact that his perception was obstructed meant that the fallen cultivator inside must have been extremely powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, the Iron-Eating Beast clan would not have been kept out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Panda Sixteen did not force the issue. Instead, he turned around with an unfriendly expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Panda Seven, what do you want?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1261,"2026-06-06T01:07:29.809Z",1,"novelbin.me","1eba0df82c7249668af9f1437849dc9184f68d465f3ab2325161b434c61ae6a1","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1764","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1762",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
