The old man stabbed a dry piece of wood into the ground, which immediately grew into a towering tree, rich with spiritforce, shielding him completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly middle-aged man was surrounded by golden light, with the sound of lion roars echoing faintly. His muscles bulged, exuding a powerful aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the child, a red mark appeared on his forehead. He now had two heads, laughing eerily, surrounded by countless ghostly faces, chilling to behold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the firestorm swept in, the three of them roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heaven-Burning Demonic Fire,” Demon Thirteen snorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the sea of fire turned pitch-black, like dark ink covering half the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crackling sounds came from the flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the three could even scream, they were completely consumed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding courtyard was burned to ashes. After killing them, Demon Thirteen pointed his staff at the queen, intending to strike her down too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was about to die, a massive hand reached out from the void and clashed with the magic staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a loud boom, the surrounding space shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demon Thirteen was forced back half a step, while a muffled grunt came from the void, and that space collapsed entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With just one move, the difference in strength was obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough!” A cold shout echoed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the courtyard entrance, a man in a green robe walked in, flanked by two guards. His stride was confident and powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s gaze was stern, his face slightly sunken, his eyes like a hawk's, piercing and intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a long black beard and radiated the natural aura of someone used to commanding others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on here?” the man asked with a frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, from the cracked void, the person who had blocked Demon Thirteen emerged, an old man in a wide green robe, standing quietly behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Husband!” The shocked queen finally regained her senses and cried out. She pointed at Xu Zimo in fear and said, “He tried to kill me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you can try to kill me, but I’m not allowed to fight back?” Xu Zimo chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you?” the High King of Supreme Tower asked, eyes narrowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You should ask your wife,” Xu Zimo replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man was the ruler of Tower City. But to clarify, though Supreme Tower had risen through Tower City, it also governed Tower City in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So while the High King of Supreme Tower managed the city, he was only a part of the Supreme Tower Faction, not its ruler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The queen whispered a few words into the king’s ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ridiculous,” the High King of Supreme Tower snorted and scolded her. “Since when do you make decisions in my royal household? If Hong’er had a problem, let him deal with it. Why are you interfering?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was just worried his mental state might be affected,” the queen said nervously, lowering her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Xu, I apologize on her behalf,” the High King of Supreme Tower said sincerely. “She’s just a mother worried for her child. I hope you won’t hold it against her. Why not join me for a banquet as a form of apology?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need for a banquet. I just hope this doesn’t happen again,” Xu Zimo waved his hand and said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it does, she dies. Anyone who gets in my way dies too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he turned and left with Demon Thirteen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The High King of Supreme Tower watched his back, eyes narrowing slightly but saying nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Husband, I didn’t mean to cause trouble,” the queen said cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know. But those enforcers were summoned by me,” the king replied calmly. “You think they’d obey you without my orders?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then earlier...?” she asked, surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hong’er is our best hope to compete for Heaven's Will in this generation,” the king said. “He was suddenly defeated, and I wanted to see who this young man really was. I couldn’t step in personally, things would’ve escalated. So I used you as a cover. I just didn’t expect to lose three of our top enforcers for nothing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then why not keep him here?” she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The king smiled faintly and shook his head. “Go back now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the queen left, he turned to the old man and asked, “What happened?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s very strong,” the elder replied, lifting his blackened right hand, which was corroded with faint demonic energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Unless our patriarch steps in, no one in Tower City can stop him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Find out who he is. For now, leave it be,” the king said. “I’ll report this to Supreme Tower.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the royal mansion, Xu Zimo went to the center of Tower City to get a travel pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The registration area was a large hall with three long lines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many were heading to Void Valley. Unlike other forbidden lands, where survival was uncertain, this one still drew risk-takers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By afternoon, Xu Zimo had his pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t require much, but the annoying part was that the pass was single-use. If you wanted to go again, you had to apply all over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ll stay in Tower City,” Xu Zimo told Demon Thirteen. “Tonight, take care of the queen, then come join me in Void Valley.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why not kill her earlier?” Demon Thirteen asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Killing her would make me an enemy of Supreme Tower. I don’t fear them, but I don’t want to waste time before reaching the valley,” Xu Zimo replied. “Besides, wiping out Supreme Tower brings me no gain. Killing the queen is just a warning to the king.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand,” Demon Thirteen nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying goodbye, Xu Zimo didn’t linger. He began heading toward Void Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Night Terror, the beast pulling the carriage, could navigate there on its own once given directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tower City was far from Void Valley, but Xu Zimo wasn’t in a rush. He sat quietly in the carriage, cultivating and reflecting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the sun set, casting its golden glow, Xu Zimo’s silhouette gradually disappeared into the distant horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>",1029,"2026-06-06T01:06:53.593Z",1,"novelbin.me","12f7c0dd879269cb6b4ebe3e990049b05ee99f4f8194cc21638f67ef050cafb2","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-596","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-594",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
