I Really Am A Villain
Ch. 110 - Blood Demon Hidden Realm

📢 New Novel Launch!

This time, Xu Zimo had been in seclusion for over a month. Of course, the unexpected mutation of the Primordial Chaos Bead had caught him off guard.

But the result was nothing short of a qualitative leap. Xu Zimo could feel power coursing through his entire body.

Most importantly, after reaching the Desolate Meridian Realm, he now had the ability to walk through the air.

As he stepped out of his room, the world outside seemed to have been washed clean, everything looked unusually clear and vibrant.

The spiritual herbs on either side of the South Goose Mountain courtyard were more lush and full of life than ever, as if they had been bathed in divine energy.

This reminded Xu Zimo of the spiritforce surge that erupted during the moment he formed his True Fate.

“Senior Brother,” Little Gui quickly came up to greet him.

“Anything happen while I was in seclusion?” Xu Zimo nodded and asked.

“The Vice-Lord came by. He said to look for him once you came out,” Little Gui replied. “Also, I heard from some of the disciples that the sect's Guardian Formation was activated a while ago.”

“The Guardian Formation?” Xu Zimo frowned slightly, he already had a guess.

It must’ve been his father. When the spiritforce around South Goose Mountain became scarce during his breakthrough, his father had activated the Guardian Formation to gather massive amounts of energy for him.

No wonder the spiritual herbs had flourished, they had been cleansed and nourished by the surge of energy.

“I see,” Xu Zimo nodded.

“Oh, and Senior Brother Lin came by a few times too, but since you were in seclusion, he left each time,” Little Gui added.

“Like a tiger, huh…” Xu Zimo nodded. He figured Lin Ruhu probably had some answers now.

…

After leaving South Goose Mountain, Xu Zimo headed straight for Green Mountain, where his father resided.

Xu Qingshan was, as always, dressed in green robes. Compared to the last time Xu Zimo saw him, there was now a sharper edge to his presence.

“What’s up, Dad!” Xu Zimo smiled.

“It’s good to see you haven’t slacked in your cultivation. Honestly, I’m relieved,” Xu Qingshan said with a smile.

“I’ll keep working hard. You were the one who activated the formation, weren’t you?” Xu Zimo asked.

Xu Qingshan nodded. “I don’t know what kind of fortune you’ve come across, and I won’t ask. After all, you’ve grown up. You’re entitled to your own secrets. Just remember this: I’ll always be your strongest support. Whatever happens, come to me.”

“I know that. I always have,” Xu Zimo said, nodding firmly. He never thought of himself as sentimental.

But people are strange creatures. It’s not always grand, heroic gestures that move you to tears.

Sometimes, it’s the small, quiet moments of care that reveal someone’s sincerity.

His nose tingled. In his past life, he always thought his father didn’t care about him. That the sect mattered more to him than his own son.

But after being thrown into Nether Dragon Ravine, his father had rallied the entire Sacred Ground to avenge him. Only then did he understand.

There are people who promise you the world but vanish when you need them.

Then there are those who stay silent, but always stand by you without question.

That kind of support is deeper than words. It’s a belief.

…

“Can’t you two talk about something other than cultivation when you're together?”

His mother, Wenren Yun, grumbled from the side.

“What else is there to talk about? At his age, cultivation is everything,” Xu Qingshan replied.

“Sweetie, you’re almost sixteen now, right? Met any girls you like? Your mother’s been waiting to hold a grandchild!” Wenren Yun glared at Xu Qingshan and turned to ask Xu Zimo.

“...Mom, I’m still young. What’s the rush?” Xu Zimo quickly waved his hands.

“Look at Fourth Grand Elder’s grandson, he’s already got dozens of maidservants around him. And you? I even arranged two maidservants for you, Chunxiao and Xiaqiu, and you haven’t even touched them,” she said, clearly annoyed.

Wenren Yun didn’t get to see Xu Zimo often, so she couldn’t help but go on and on.

“Your father… all his life, there’s never been anything more important than the martial path. He’s obsessed with reaching the God Meridian Realm. Then when the Sacred Lord left, he handed the burden of being the Sacred Lord to him. And now you’re just like him when he was young, all you care about is cultivation. I’ve never cared about cultivation. All I want is for both of you to be safe. One day, when you have a family and a child, I’d like to help raise them. Otherwise, in a few hundred years, when my life span ends, I won’t even get the chance.”

“What nonsense are you saying? As long as I’m alive, I won’t let you leave me, no matter the cost!” Xu Qingshan said urgently.

“You say that, but you never even spare me a glance. Your mind’s always full of cultivation and sect affairs,” Wenren Yun said, her tone softening with sorrow.

Watching the two of them go all lovey-dovey again, Xu Zimo quickly made his exit.

“Alright, you two lovebirds, if there’s nothing else, I’m heading out.”

“If there’s a girl you like, remember to tell your mother. I’ll help you propose marriage,” Wenren Yun called after him.

Hearing that, Xu Zimo picked up his pace.

“Soon, the sect’s Blood Demon Hidden Realm will open. I saved you a spot. Get ready,” Xu Qingshan’s voice called from behind.

Xu Zimo paused. “The Blood Demon Hidden Realm…”

This was a special hidden realm within the True Martial Sacred Ground, one known for its strange and dangerous creatures.

The Blood Demons.

Though he’d never entered it before, Xu Zimo had heard much about it.

The place was dangerous, yes, but also filled with opportunity.

It was said that killing Blood Demons yielded Blood Demon Crystals, treasures that could strengthen one’s blood and vitality.

And blood vitality wasn’t just about raw power, it also impacted endurance and resilience.

In battles between cultivators of equal strength, blood vitality could often be the deciding factor.

Thinking about the Blood Demon Hidden Realm, Xu Zimo smiled. In the River of Fate, he had glimpsed something… different.

Originally, he had planned to head straight to the Pure Moon God Domain.

But before that, perhaps… there was something worth retrieving inside the Blood Demon Hidden Realm.

As he left Green Mountain and returned to South Goose Mountain, Xu Zimo ran into Lin Ruhu.
