Is something happening?\" Xu Zimo asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuo Yihang looked outside, then lowered his voice and said, \"Brother Xu, have you heard of Silent Extinction Ridge?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One of the Ten Forbidden Grounds,\" Fan Tianyi immediately responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course I've heard of it,\" Xu Zimo nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silent Extinction Ridge was where Grand Emperor San Dao carried the Heaven’s Will. He naturally knew about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had even encountered Silent Extinction Ridge on the way through the Grand Myriad Mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He originally planned to go search for it himself, he didn't expect to run into it this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rumor has it that a dying elder from Heaven Ender forcibly performed a heavenly divination,\" Zhuo Yihang smiled, raising his teacup halfway. \"Let’s drink first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo smiled as well, finished the tea in one gulp, and said, \"Come on, Brother Zhuo, don’t keep me hanging. Continue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The elder died under heavenly tribulation after the divination,\" Zhuo Yihang replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before dying, he only left behind three words, Blue Stone Valley.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This place?\" Xu Zimo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly. All the major forces of the Eastern Continent searched for three whole months before finding this place,\" Zhuo Yihang said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Apparently, Silent Extinction Ridge will appear here soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silent Extinction Ridge might be forbidden, but it held countless treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many geniuses died there, leaving behind imperial weapons and artifacts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, Grand Emperor San Dao was said to have left something behind there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Xu, pardon my boldness, but what’s your relationship with Miss Fan?\" Zhuo Yihang asked casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo raised an eyebrow. \"She’s my maid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Tianyi pouted a bit but didn’t argue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuo Yihang was stunned, then laughed. \"I quite like this maid of yours. To be honest, would you consider parting with her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure, if you want her, take her,\" Xu Zimo nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuo Yihang hesitated, he hadn’t expected Xu Zimo to be so generous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, would you consider selling your mount as well? I’d pay for the tiger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s with all this buying talk? If you want it, take it,\" Xu Zimo patted his shoulder. \"There aren’t many good people like you these days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Xu, you’re too generous,\" Zhuo Yihang laughed heartily. \"Then I won’t refuse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve got my eyes on something too. Would Brother Zhuo be willing to give it up?\" Xu Zimo said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Name it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you ever heard the saying,\" Xu Zimo asked, \"'The good die young, while evil lasts a thousand years'? A good man like you shouldn’t break that rule. So I want your life. Will you give it up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must be joking,\" Zhuo Yihang forced a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m serious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Zhuo Yihang narrowed his eyes. \"Didn’t you feel anything off with your body?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The tea was tampered with,\" Fan Tianyi immediately realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too late now, don’t you think?\" Zhuo Yihang stood up and drew his sword with a smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The tea had meridian-sealing powder in it. Brother Xu, you’ve disappointed me. I helped you get in here, and you want to kill me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the sword came down, Xu Zimo shook his head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a clown. So boring.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pressed down with one hand. The power of the Imperial Meridian Realm burst forth, and his massive hand suppressed the sword instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... You’re an Imperial Meridian cultivator!\" Zhuo Yihang’s expression changed drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew full well that meridian-sealing powder was useless against anyone above the Paragon Meridian Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo turned to Fan Tianyi and shook his head. \"Don’t eat random things from strangers. Do you not have any common sense?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I only drank it because you drank it first,\" Fan Tianyi muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what should I do with you?\" Xu Zimo took the sword and said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m the head disciple of Cloud Emperor Sect. You can’t kill me!\" Zhuo Yihang shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A second-rate sect with a flashy name,\" Xu Zimo chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he finished speaking, a hidden bell on Zhuo Yihang’s waist rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment it sounded, several Imperial Meridian auras surged from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several figures instantly flew into the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can’t kill me!\" Zhuo Yihang shouted arrogantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, if you don’t want trouble, stop now,\" a voice came from the cave entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three Imperial Meridian experts appeared, led by the Sect Master of the Cloud Emperor Sect, a woman in a green robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think your sect can bring me trouble?\" Xu Zimo laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Calm down. We can give you anything you want,\" the green-robed woman said anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I only want him dead,\" Xu Zimo smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sword swung. Zhuo Yihang, still laughing, fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His head was severed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've made a huge mistake!\" the green-robed woman’s face changed drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three Imperial Meridian cultivators exchanged looks and charged at Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think you’re worthy?\" Xu Zimo's body surged with the Power of Creation. He clenched his fist and punched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a loud boom, the entire cave collapsed, and the three experts were sent flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disturbance instantly caught the attention of those outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is that? Someone’s stirring up trouble here?\" someone asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seems like there's a conflict with the Cloud Emperor Sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three Imperial Meridian cultivators were knocked back but quickly regained their footing and floated into the air, staring at Xu Zimo with grave expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know who you just killed?\" the green-robed woman said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does a dead man’s identity matter?\" Xu Zimo replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman looked at another Imperial Meridian cultivator and said, \"Go get the Sacred Lord. We’ll hold him off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1122,"2026-06-06T01:06:40.721Z",1,"novelbin.me","03464f379cf8cb8b05b31abce619b3b612d77b28b3f523e8cccd970c6da52897","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-319","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-317",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
