Are you throwing away your dignity?” someone said angrily upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly, breaking your word makes you no better than a scoundrel.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People started criticizing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the ancestor of Otherworldly Zenith Palace was clearly indifferent. He said calmly, “Would dignity help us carry the Heaven's Will?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What exactly do you want?” Baili Chengfeng asked with a frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He calculated the time. Reinforcements from the Dan Imperial Clan should be arriving soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t need to go to the Dan Imperial Clan in person; he could use the teleportation formation in a nearby city to notify the other imperial lineages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as they could hold on until reinforcements arrived through the teleportation array to Baili City, everything should be fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There was originally one thing. Now there are two,” the ancestor of Otherworldly Zenith Palace said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled a few bottles of pills from his sleeve pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled and said, “First, take this pill. Then I’ll tell you the second.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for the second thing, kill him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ancestor of Otherworldly Zenith Palace pointed straight at Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ancestor,” Gong Yun'er quickly called out. “He spared me just now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yun'er, don’t be soft-hearted. He stands in the way of your path to becoming emperor,” the old man said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But...” Gong Yun'er hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you feel a shadow in your heart when you face him?” the ancestor asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill him. End the demon in your heart with your own hands, and you still have a chance to be this generation’s emperor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Gong Yun'er silent, the old man frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, “Yun'er, you understand, the lineage didn’t raise you for nothing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know,” Gong Yun'er nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then do as I say,” the old man snorted coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The immortal energy around him surged, exploding with a sky-shaking aura. The vast immortal energy came crashing down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He directly attacked Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ancestor of Otherworldly Zenith Palace floated in the air above Xu Zimo, and his overwhelming power bore down on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Gong Yun'er and said, “Kill him yourself and end your heart demon. The palace master will forgive your loss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one around intervened when they saw this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the ancestor of the Baili Imperial Clan stood aside and watched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because everyone had the same goal, Xu Zimo must die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was too brilliant, so he had to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn’t do it themselves, so it was convenient to let Otherworldly Zenith Palace do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black-robed man from the palace handed a long blade to Gong Yun'er.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Yun'er numbly took the blade and walked toward Xu Zimo step by step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All eyes were on this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Yun'er’s figure slowly stopped beside Xu Zimo. She looked at the man before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He showed no sign of panic. Instead, he was grinning at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is he not afraid of death?” Gong Yun'er thought silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was deeply conflicted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo had instilled too much fear in her. As long as he was alive, she’d find it hard to fight for the Heaven's Will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, his death would benefit her greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Gong Yun'er didn’t know why, she didn’t want to kill him this way. She didn’t even want him dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do it,” the ancestor urged from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Die!” Gong Yun'er shouted, grabbing Xu Zimo’s collar and pulling him roughly in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at him mockingly as the long blade neared his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Gong Yun'er suddenly whispered, “Take me hostage. That’s your only way to survive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo didn’t take her hostage. He just chuckled and said, “You know, all of you have been putting on a show on that stage. Their acting was boring, but you’re interesting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re crazy,” Gong Yun'er whispered back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the end, her blade stopped a few centimeters short of Xu Zimo’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yun'er, what are you doing?” the old man roared from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a loud boom echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky trembled as powerful forces shattered the sealed void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, like glass breaking, the void collapsed completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Reinforcements are here,” Baili Chengfeng said with some regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo wasn’t dead, which was truly unfortunate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky shattered, and the ancestor of Otherworldly Zenith Palace’s face changed. He quickly looked toward the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who dares touch someone from the Dan Imperial Clan?” a voice rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An old man with a bald head and a huge sack on his back stepped out from the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s the Nine-Pill Ancestor. The Dan Imperial Clan’s ancestor is here!” someone shouted excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on?” the ancestor of Otherworldly Zenith Palace muttered, his face tensed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ancestor of the Baili Imperial Clan also stepped into the air, greeted the Nine-Pill Ancestor, and turned to look at the Otherworldly Zenith Palace’s ancestor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the sky changed again, and snow began to fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A giant hand tore through the void, and an old woman in green walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She brought with her a blizzard that engulfed the entire Heaven-Genesis Microcosm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s the ancestor of the Chi Imperial Clan, the Nether Queen!” a Chi elder shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nether Queen was once a war general under Grand Emperor Bing Xue, and the oldest existence in the Chi Imperial Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s been years since a small force dared to challenge us on the Eastern Continent,” the Nine-Pill Ancestor said coldly. “Since you’re here, you’re not leaving.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You think I came to attack the Baili Imperial Clan alone?” the Otherworldly Zenith Palace’s ancestor shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone, come out. Let these imperial lineages see our strength.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, a massive hand appeared in the southeast sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It covered the sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darkness descended, and three figures stepped out from the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each one seemed to come from the ancient river of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their immortal energy surged violently, as if they could shoulder the heavens and pluck the sun and moon.\u003C\u002Fp>",1146,"2026-06-06T01:06:58.053Z",1,"novelbin.me","49ec4049521b1dccd280a68f4f93c0be6f7fc15b5c7d5dd275c0cc88636d1bbd","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-818","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-816",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
