The once grand and luxurious estate was now a pile of ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city lord and his son had vanished without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in the city was talking about it, with all kinds of rumors going around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But most citizens were celebrating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the city lord had ruled Phoenix Cry City with cruelty, and his spoiled son was equally hated. So this outcome made everyone happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What people really cared about now was what kind of person the next city lord would be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early the next morning, Xu Zimo and the others prepared to leave with Sage Prajna in custody.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would use the teleportation array to head to Phoenix Wing City, capital of the Phoenix Perch Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yellow Sun looked upset. He said to Yellow Star, “You were too reckless last night.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I hadn’t been reckless, then what?” Yellow Star replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, we caught Sage Prajna. His Majesty probably won’t punish us,” Yellow Sun sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That was all thanks to Brother Xu. We didn’t do much,” Yellow Star clarified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know,” Yellow Sun nodded, not arguing the point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group arrived at Phoenix Cry City’s teleportation array. No one dared to stop them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another long stretch of time-space travel began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Phoenix Perch Empire was vast, and the distance from Phoenix Cry City to Phoenix Wing City was long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After about half a month, they finally arrived at Phoenix Wing City, known as the number one city in the empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, Sage Prajna followed them like a walking corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the journey, Yellow Star had asked him a few questions, but the elder said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the teleportation arrays in other cities, Phoenix Wing City’s was built outside the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the array saw heavy use, all sorts of people and even other races came through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the empire set aside land outside the city specifically for this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xu Zimo’s vision shifted and his body lightened, he found himself in the teleportation grounds of Phoenix Wing City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking around, he saw that there were not just one, but dozens of teleportation arrays operating at the same time. The area was packed with people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yellow Star and the others soon appeared beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Xu, we need to report back to the capital. Once we’re done, let’s meet up again,” Yellow Sun said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo just waved it off, showing he didn’t care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren’t close anyway. Whether they met again or not didn’t matter, fate would decide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they walked outside the teleportation grounds, Yellow Sun explained the place to Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the teleportation array was first built, it was only for travelers heading into Phoenix Wing City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But some people saw a business opportunity here. Many restaurants and inns opened branches nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As traffic increased, the area eventually turned into a marketplace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They walked down the main street of the market, which was lined with stalls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, someone shouted up ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Make way! The horse is out of control!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people on the street panicked and quickly scattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo frowned and looked over. A decently decorated carriage was speeding toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The coachman was shouting in panic, the beast pulling the carriage had gone wild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a Blue Wolf Horse, known for being fierce, fast, and strong. Only the wealthy could afford such a beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Blue Wolf Horse charged toward them, Xu Zimo’s expression didn’t change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drew Shadow Tyrant. A flash of light appeared, and in an instant, the horse’s head was severed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dead beast collapsed, and the carriage was thrown forward by inertia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a loud crash, the carriage shattered into pieces. People looked closer and saw that besides the coachman, there was a young girl inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ow, that hurt!” the girl groaned as she stood up, rubbing her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss, are you alright?” the coachman asked as he rushed to her, ignoring his own injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You useless dog! How are you driving?” the girl shouted, kicking the coachman hard in the stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He screamed in pain and curled up on the ground, clearly hurt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still angry, the girl pulled out a flaming red whip from her storage ring and began lashing the coachman, ignoring his cries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each lash of the whip burned with flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding crowd began to murmur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who is this girl? So arrogant,” someone asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shh, lower your voice. That’s the little princess of the Wan Clan. You trying to get yourself killed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, the man quickly shrank back. Even newcomers to Phoenix Wing City knew some things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Phoenix Perch Empire, aside from the imperial family, the two most powerful clans were the Wan Clan and the Wenren Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were like ancient giants standing tall across time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two clans were so powerful that their influence rivaled that of the imperial family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though they lived within the empire’s lands, they didn’t take orders from anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, they still obeyed the empire’s laws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the coachman’s flesh was torn open, he looked utterly pitiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still not satisfied, the girl turned and shouted, “Who killed my Blue Wolf Horse just now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People in the crowd whispered among themselves. Some already looked toward Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo didn’t mind. He stepped forward calmly and asked, “I killed it. What of it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl didn’t speak. She raised her flaming whip and struck at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of killing intent passed through Xu Zimo’s eyes. He glanced at the space beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone was hiding there, likely her bodyguard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yellow Star stepped forward and caught the whip with one hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the girl and said coldly, “Miss Wan, the horse was out of control. We killed it to protect you. Please don’t make trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And who do you think you are, to lecture me?” the girl sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Third Division of the empire,” Yellow Star replied, showing his badge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the badge appeared, the whole crowd gasped.\u003C\u002Fp>",1018,"2026-06-06T01:06:40.721Z",1,"novelbin.me","915052d62225c3f6ab5d9639f14f10744c5887b52ac22ba3a459c5385088a6e0","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-444","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-442",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
