These soldiers were all dressed in armor as white and smooth as jade. They marched in unison, each holding a white spear and looking full of spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those are the Bone Guards from the City Lord’s mansion,” someone nearby said with awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard they were handpicked by the City Lord himself. Each one is extremely gifted.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father,” Bai Yaoyao quickly walked forward and greeted the white-robed man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she turned to the man in green robes and greeted, “Uncle Jiang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man in white was the current City Lord of White Bone City, Bai Yankang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder Blue River, why are you so upset?” Bai Yankang asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“City Lord Bai, shouldn’t you ask your daughter about that?” Elder Blue River replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our Mountain River Sect respects the White Bone elder, but respect should go both ways.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Mountain River Sect didn’t compare to the top imperial lineages, it had a solid reputation within the White Bone City region and often interacted with the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yaoyao?” Bai Yankang turned to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, it’s hard to explain everything right now, but this young master saved my life,” Bai Yaoyao said quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yankang thought for a moment, then looked at Elder Blue River and said, “Let’s end this matter here, Elder Blue River. Consider it a favor to White Bone City. Besides, none of your disciples were harmed. Any damage, I’ll personally compensate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Elder Blue River’s expression eased slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey now, doesn’t anyone want to hear what I think?” Xu Zimo asked, shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t push your luck, kid,” Elder Blue River snorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I want him dead today,” Xu Zimo said plainly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young man, I’ll take care of Mountain River Sect’s side for saving my daughter’s life,” Bai Yankang replied. “But I hope you’ll act with restraint. Our sect isn’t as simple as you think.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, you don’t understand. Just do as Young Master Xu says,” Bai Yaoyao interrupted, clearly anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew who the elder with Xu Zimo really was, someone powerful enough to crush a God Meridian cultivator with one hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yaoyao, step back,” Bai Yankang said sternly. “We’ve worked with the Mountain River Sect for hundreds of years. We can’t sour that relationship over something small.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the crowd parted again. Three people stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the left was the elderly man in a scholar’s robe whom Xu Zimo had saved earlier from the Heavenly Dao Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the right stood a middle-aged scholar holding a horsetail whisk, with messy hair tied back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the middle was an older woman in a light purple robe. Her eyebrows were thick, and her face was thin, but she had a strong presence despite her age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Yunshan, what brings you here?” Bai Yankang quickly stepped forward to greet them. “Greetings to all three seniors from the Heavenly Dao Academy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elderly man in scholar’s robes was Wu Yunshan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded, then turned to Xu Zimo and the God Emperor and gave a respectful bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I came today to thank you both.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Words aren’t enough for that,” Xu Zimo said with a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it’s within my power, you can ask me for anything,” Wu Yunshan replied sincerely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had he finished speaking than Elder Blue River let out a loud shout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kicked Wang He and the Song youth to the ground and scolded them loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our Mountain River Sect is an honorable one! I’ve lived with a clear conscience and righteousness all my life. How could we end up with disciples like you two? Young Master Xu is a rare and outstanding genius. How could you offend him? If he doesn’t forgive you today, I’ll expel myself from the sect!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yankang’s eye twitched at the speech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d thought this elder from Mountain River Sect would have some backbone. But now it looked like he had no shame at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang He and the Song youth panicked and quickly dropped to their knees in front of Xu Zimo, begging for mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please forgive us, Young Master!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo smiled without answering, while Bai Yankang waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The armored guards behind him stepped forward and dragged the two men away, ignoring their resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master Xu, I failed to see clearly earlier. I hope this doesn’t affect things between you and Yaoyao,” Bai Yankang explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo simply shook his head. He didn’t really have any relationship with her, it was just a passing connection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The older woman and middle-aged man who had come with Wu Yunshan were quietly observing Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yankang then invited Xu Zimo to the City Lord’s mansion, but Xu Zimo politely declined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and the God Emperor returned to the inn to stay the night, planning to head for Bluesky City the next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, the sky had already turned dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But White Bone City remained brightly lit, thanks to the glowing white stones that gave off a soft light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city didn’t sleep, in fact, it was even busier than during the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the noise of the night, Xu Zimo quietly sat in his room, focusing on the God World inside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because time flowed faster in the God World, that world had now entered the Primal Beast Era and was starting to slow in its development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humans had learned how to farm and hunt. They could recognize herbs, use weather patterns, and raise animals for food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were becoming the dominant species at the top of the pyramid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beasts still lived through pure instinct and slaughter. Meanwhile, humans began creating primitive symbols that would evolve into writing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had basic forms of communication.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the sealed Myriad Beast Realm, Chaos forbade any creature from leaving to avoid disrupting the outside world’s development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when the Dragon Gods in that race advanced, they caused massive disturbances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They soared through the clouds with thunder and lightning roaring around them. These events sometimes pierced the seals and were witnessed by other creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This led to the spread of mythologies among the primitive species.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They told stories based on what they’d seen or imagined, giving rise to myths and legends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overall, the world was developing peacefully. Xu Zimo’s next goal was to guide this ordinary world toward an era of dao cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, all this had to wait until the current era stabilized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You couldn’t rush progress. Trying to force it would only cause failure.\u003C\u002Fp>",1101,"2026-06-06T01:06:53.593Z",1,"novelbin.me","e17697f3bb509fac8d2427fb447a940703ae5e7b6418bed111cad3bf4c83ad17","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-552","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-750",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
