That Black Asura actually defeated Grandblade Ancestor, yet we’ve never even heard of such a person before.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe it’s someone we know, just wearing a mask on purpose.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo and Baili Xiao faced each other. He smiled lightly and said, “Sorry, but I also want to play at being the Alliance Leader.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take off your mask,” Baili Xiao frowned and spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why should I take it off?” Xu Zimo countered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know it’s you. Since you dare come here, what’s the point of hiding your head and showing your tail?” Baili Xiao replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was icy, filled with deep hatred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo chuckled, slowly raised his right hand, and removed the mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His long hair swayed in the breeze. Compared to the past, Xu Zimo’s features were sharper, more resolute, and colder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That guy is…?” The people below froze for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, countless auras erupted into the sky, and the crowd burst into uproar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s Xu Zimo, the Holy Son of the True Martial Sacred Ground.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s the Infernal Lord!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How dare he? With so many of us gathered here, he actually throws himself into the net.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I thought he’d hide away instead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below the stage, several powerhouses of the imperial immortal sects were the first to stand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the Phoenix Ancient Kingdom, Lady Heavenly Phoenix in her fiery red robe rose, her robe flaring like phoenix wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since the Infernal Lord has come, in my view this Demon-Slaying Conference doesn’t need to continue,” Lady Heavenly Phoenix said coldly. “Kill the Infernal Lord, and all will be at peace.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I agree,” said Ren Qiankun, ruler of the Great Qian Dynasty, as he stood as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo ignored the others and instead looked at Baili Xiao with a smile. “Weren’t you always saying you wanted revenge with your own hands? Now I’m here. The opportunity’s yours. Let’s see if you can grasp it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili Xiao fixed her gaze on Xu Zimo but said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she turned to the indignant crowd below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps they all thought Xu Zimo was far too arrogant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So many imperial lineages, and yet he treated them as nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone listen to me. This man and I share an irreconcilable grudge,” Baili Xiao said. “Hand him to me. I will deal with him. You need only hold the line.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do the Baili Imperial Clan mean by this? Do you want to seize the credit all for yourselves?” someone shouted from below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s not my meaning. Today, he must die. Whether by my hand or yours, the credit belongs to our Demon-Slaying Alliance,” Baili Xiao replied. “But he must die by my hand. You hold the line. If I cannot defeat him, then you may step in. How about it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that, Baili Chengfeng also came forward, smiling. “Everyone, just treat this as selling our Baili Imperial Clan a favor. In the end, the credit belongs to us all. To sit back and enjoy the reward, why not?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd exchanged glances. Finally, Ren Qiankun nodded. “Then see that your Baili Imperial Clan keeps its word.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the tension below eased, Baili Xiao turned back to Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I told you before, I will kill you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are many people in this world who want me dead. Even Old Villainous Heaven wants my life. Yet here I am, still alive,” Xu Zimo laughed. “By the way, I heard you’re the eldest disciple of Grand Empress Hongtian. What a pity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What pity?” Baili Xiao frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A pity you were born in the same era as me,” Xu Zimo replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you never wondered why I reincarnated in this era?” Baili Xiao sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because of me?” Xu Zimo frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone here is here for you. From birth, you were destined for destruction,” Baili Xiao said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough. Don’t give me that nonsense about destiny or fate. My greatest strength is that I don’t believe in fate. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have survived until now,” Xu Zimo shook his head and laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To kill me, you can’t. They can’t. And as for today’s Primordial Heartlands, it’s nothing much. I’ve heard the Outer Heavens are quite interesting. I plan to take a look.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then you’d better live until then,” Baili Xiao snorted coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her spiritforce surged. With her right hand open, it seemed as though she had seized control of the entire void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A colossal hand of spirit energy descended from the sky toward Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That giant hand covered half the heavens, compressing the very air until it exploded with a thunderous boom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo met it head-on with a punch. Power of Creation surged from his fist, shattering the hand to pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His figure flickered as he charged at Baili Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both erupted with terrifying auras, the peak of God Meridian, perhaps even the limit of God Meridian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not yet immortals, but stronger than immortals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their figures streaked across the void, too fast for most of the onlookers to follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The void kept detonating. The arena beneath cracked apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At length, the void exploded once more, and Baili Xiao’s figure was blasted backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo stepped through the air, his aura like a blazing sun crushing everything beneath it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze swept across everyone present, finally landing on Baili Xiao as she staggered back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili Xiao slowly stood up. She stretched out her right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distant void, an explosion resounded, and a zither drifted forth, floating before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The zither sang faintly; a few notes plucked at random.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ripples spread across the void, reaching into people’s hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili Xiao leaned against the edge of the arena. The zither half-rested against her, and her jade fingers slowly descended. The strings trembled, and thunder rolled around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone, block your hearing!” someone shouted from below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the music began, sharp-eared experts knew something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, the melody wasn’t aimed at them, or else all within a hundred miles would have to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo watched Baili Xiao. The music became tangible, waves of sound spreading outward, each ripple laced with notes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s the Seven Emotions Melody!” someone knowledgeable cried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The supreme sound created by the Zither Demon. It’s said to be the strongest zither music on Primordial Heartlands. For millions of years, none have surpassed it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This melody can manipulate the seven emotions and six desires at will, driving people mad, making them lovesick, even controlling them completely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll repay all the pain I’ve suffered onto you, one by one,” Baili Xiao’s killing intent-filled voice came through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A contest of music, then,” Xu Zimo laughed. “I have a song as well. Care to try it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly drew out the jade flute he had once obtained in the Ancient Celestial Court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the Ten Primordial God-Scriptures, one was known as the Infernal-Creation Eternal-Canon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the saying goes: ‘Better to envy mandarin ducks than immortals.’ This demonic-immortal art is a song of ascension to immortality, and a song of descent into demonhood.\u003C\u002Fp>",1193,"2026-06-06T01:07:00.020Z",1,"novelbin.me","ee40f7bdd351bfc46e9f7fb0e539aafae5ab765d6eda21316f94d43bb812e39b","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-984","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-982",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
