I Really Am A Villain Chapter 1303 - Destruction of the Celestial Luan God Realm
New NovelđȘ¶
âItâs been a long time, everyone,â said the figure walking out from the dust of the great mountain with a faint smile.
His voice was clean and magnetic, pleasant to the ear.
The sound of a sword being sheathed and light footsteps echoed. As the dust gradually dispersed, everyone finally saw Qi Haoranâs figure.
He wore his signature white robes, spotless, even after all these years.
His robe was as white as snow, and behind him hung a massive sword, three feet wide and three feet long, from which came the faint sound of a dragonâs cry.
The silver-white blade emitted a dim, fragile glow.
On his feet were black divine dragon boots; his long black hair was tied atop his head with a black silk cord, and in his eyes flickered the faint intent of a sword.
He cultivated the Sword Dao, but for him, the sword was only a vessel for power.
âRealm Lord Qi, youâre finally out,â Elder Bi let out a long sigh of relief.
What he feared most was that Qi Haoran might still be deep in enlightenment and unable to appear in time.
If that angered Xu Zimo, Vast Heaven God Realm might face annihilation.
âElder Bi, what exactly has happened?â Qi Haoranâs gaze swept across his surroundings.
In an instant, his deep eyes seemed to penetrate millions of miles around Vast Heaven God Realm.
There was no sign of battle or destruction, clearly, the crushed life crystal hadnât been due to an attack.
âYouâd best ask this Young Master Xu yourself,â Elder Bi replied, before leading everyone else away.
This was a conversation they shouldnât overhear.
âYou are?â Qi Haoran glanced at Xu Zimo, and suddenly his eyes widened slightly, as if sensing something. âYouâve cultivated the Heaven-Shattering God-Scripture!â
As a fellow practitioner of the same divine art, he could sense even the faintest resonance, or perhaps Xu Zimo had deliberately released that aura.
âYou are Qi Haoran?â Xu Zimo asked.
Qi Haoran nodded. âAre you from one of the Ten God-Clans?â
It was a reasonable assumption, after all, the Heaven-Shattering God-Scripture originated from the Absolute God Heaven, the land of those clans.
Xu Zimo said nothing. Instead, he took out a token, the inheritance token given by the Lord of Heaven himself, and tossed it toward Qi Haoran.
âThis is Yuranâs token,â Qi Haoran exclaimed in surprise, catching it.
âYes, itâs his,â Xu Zimo said.
âHe asked me to bring it back. Now, Iâve fulfilled that promise.â
âHow is he now?â Qi Haoran asked softly, his expression heavy.
âHeâs dead,â Xu Zimo said bluntly.
âDead...?â Qi Haoran was momentarily stunned.
âHe was imprisoned and tortured by the Myriad Flowers Fairy. His God-Soul was already dissipating,â Xu Zimo said. âI happened to meet him on the final stretch of his life.â
âIf we had been stronger back then, things wouldnât have ended this way,â Qi Haoran murmured, his figure trembling slightly.
âHe died still thinking about Vast Heaven God Realm.â
âWhat grudge did you have with the Myriad Flowers Fairy?â Xu Zimo asked.
He had met the fairy once before, though that was only a projection of her true self, when she controlled Xie Changliuâs wifeâs mind.
âThe grudge stems from the Heaven-Shattering God-Scripture,â Qi Haoran replied. âEach of the Ten Primordial God-Scriptures has a clan that guards it. In the northwest city, the Wan God-Clan guards the Heaven-Shattering God-Scripture. The Myriad Flowers Fairy, they say, serves as their Dao Guardian.â
âTheir Dao Guardian?â Xu Zimo repeated.
âYes,â Qi Haoran said. âThe truth is, Lord of Heaven and I are twin brothers.â
âYou donât look alike,â Xu Zimo remarked.
âWho said twins have to look the same?â Qi Haoran said with a faint smile. âOur mother was a servant girl in the Wan God-Clan. By chance, she became pregnant with their overlordâs child. But because of her lowly status, we could not bear the Wan surname, only our motherâs, Qi.â He smiled bitterly and went on, âWhen we grew up, we stole a cultivation token for the Heaven-Shattering God-Scripture from the Wan God-Clan and fled into the Godfiend Abyss Heaven Demons. We wanted to found our own sect and rival the Ten God-Clans.â
âThe Myriad Flowers Fairy was sent by the Wan God-Clan to kill you?â Xu Zimo asked.
âThat must be it. We had no other conflict with her,â Qi Haoran said. âSheâs unimaginably strong. Even when my brother and I had built a great reputation here, the two of us together were still no match for her. Lord of Heaven was captured, and I was forced into secluded cultivation, hoping one day to avenge him. Lord of Heaven was righteous, he sacrificed himself for Vast Heaven God Realm and for me,â Qi Haoran said, trembling.
âAs for the Myriad Flowers Fairy,â Xu Zimo warned, âyouâd better not get involved. Sheâs no mere cultivator, sheâs an ancient being from ages long past. The fact that she helps the Wan God-Clan must mean she has her own plans.â
âRegardless, Vast Heaven God Realm owes you a debt,â Qi Haoran said solemnly. âIf you ever need anything, come to us.â
âThatâs convenient, I do have something in mind,â Xu Zimo said with a smile.
âWhat is it?â Qi Haoran asked.
âHelp me destroy the Celestial Luan God Realm.â
âThe Celestial Luan God Realm?â Qi Haoran frowned. âThatâs not a small matter. Iâll need to consult the sect first, but I promise youâll have a satisfying answer.â
âIâll wait,â Xu Zimo said, nodding before walking toward the courtyard.
Qi Haoran watched him leave, understanding that the destruction of the Celestial Luan God Realm would not be simple.
After all, it was one of the top powers in the world.
Besides, he had just emerged from seclusion and couldnât act alone without consulting others.
Inside the Vast Heaven God Realmâs grand hall, the elders gathered.
After hearing Qi Haoranâs words, the Second Elder was the first to complain. âHeâs got so many Saint Sovereigns with him. If he wants to destroy the Celestial Luan God Realm, couldnât he do it in minutes? Why does he need our help?â
âYoung Master Xu surely has his own reasons,â Elder Bi replied.
âElder Bi, youâre a sect elder. You should prioritize the interests of the sect,â the Second Elder shot back. âDo you know how many lives a war like this will cost?â
The hall erupted into arguments, some in favor of supporting Xu Zimo, others against.
âHuijun, what do you think?â Qi Haoran asked, turning to Qiao Huijun.
âI follow whatever the Realm Lord decides,â Qiao Huijun said with a smile.
He had stopped voicing opinions since Qi Haoranâs return. Whether they agreed or disagreed, neither stance offered much benefit, so he wisely left the decision to Qi Haoran.
âAnyone who disagrees, step forward,â Qi Haoran said coldly, sweeping his gaze across the room.
No one moved.
