When he gets back, the Dragon Clan will definitely know what happened.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My last strike shattered the dragon core inside him. He’ll never become a Dragonblood Warrior again,” Xu Zimo replied calmly. “You need to understand, there are many things in this world far worse than death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, the girl was silent for a moment, then finally nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Xu Zimo’s figure disappear, she stood there for a long time before finally remembering her own purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning to Dragon City, Xu Zimo brought the Blood Dragon Crystal Stones he found to the courtyard where the Dustless Alchemist lived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You really found it,” the Dustless Alchemist said in surprise, looking at the steaming crystal stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What, were you hoping I’d fail?” Xu Zimo asked with a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No. These Blood Dragon Crystal Stones are the key to a pill I’ve been researching. But that bat nest is nearly impossible to enter. Many people have died there,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dustless Alchemist shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t think you’d get it safely all by yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When are you refining the pill?” Xu Zimo asked flatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Noon tomorrow. I just need some time to prepare,” the Dustless Alchemist replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving the remote courtyard, Xu Zimo returned to the inn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the pill was refined tomorrow, he could set off for the Northern Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in the Dragon Clan’s main hall, Long Shenghui lay unconscious, covered in blood, surrounded by the clan’s Grand Elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gray-robed old man crouched beside him, treating his wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, the old man stood up and sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How is he?” Long Yaotian, Patriarch of the Dragon Clan, asked anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“His life isn’t in danger, but his dragon core has been shattered. He’ll never be a Dragonblood Warrior again,” the gray-robed elder said, shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s no other way?” Long Yaotian asked grimly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s something that can rebuild a dragon core. But as the Patriarch knows, the price is too steep. We can’t afford it,” the elder replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand. You may go,” Long Yaotian nodded and waved him off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Shenghui slowly woke up from his coma, his head pounding and his body weak and aching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt like he was on the brink of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening his eyes, he saw the clan’s meeting hall and his father and the elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He finally relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kid, who did this to you?” Long Yaotian asked, frowning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know him, but I can draw his face,” Long Shenghui replied quickly. “Father, I’ll be okay, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ll be fine,” Long Yaotian said after a brief pause. He didn’t tell him the truth about the dragon core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He feared his son wouldn’t be able to handle the blow while still recovering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go rest for now,” Long Yaotian sighed. “Bring me the drawing later. I’ll launch a city-wide search for that criminal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Shenghui nodded and left the meeting hall.\u003C\u002Fp>",1088,"2026-06-06T01:06:40.721Z",1,"novelbin.me","722db576b92a1cc05cc61d6fe16a09f9c7aea666bc2bc3a1ef9be37f64c7ab28","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-366","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-364",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
