I Am the Fated Villain - Chapter 208

Chapter 208: Aura of the Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain; Temporary Black Pot set!
Just as the cultivators of the many orthodox forces were in discussion, a huge golden seal rumbled over, suddenly covering the Great Hall in a grey mist.

The concealing formation broke, revealing the scene in the Great Hall.

Gu Changge had arrived.

His expression was extremely cold and murderous. The harsh, threatening tone of his voice rang throughout the surroundings, “Who dares to commit murder in the territory of my Immortal Gu Family? Simply courting death!”

He frowned and looked at the two people fighting with a murderous look.

“Young Master Changge! What’s going on?”

At this time, many nearby cultivators had also rushed here, staring up into the sky in shock and bewilderment.

Wang Wushuang of the Wang Family soon arrived as well, asking:

“Huh? Someone is trying to assassinate Big Sis?!”

He had made his way over there in a state of soaring, intertwining emotions; anger, shock, and a determination to kill.

Amidst the light of his golden eyes, a murderous intent palpitated.

“I’m not so sure what the situation is either.”

The expression on Gu Changge’s face was not very pleasant, but he remained calm nonetheless, exuding a sharp coldness and killing intent.

He slightly glanced at the palace dome as he turned back. An inexplicable glint flashed in his eyes, but unfortunately, no one around managed to notice it.

[Kshn: How can it be noticed? He’s the MC after all.]

No one thought there was anything wrong with Gu Changge’s act at all.

After all, this kind of thing had happened in the territory of the Gu Family and on his mother’s birthday, at that.

It was normal for him to be outraged.

“Whoever it is, have guts. I’ll personally ensure you don’t survive today.”

Gu Changge’s expression soon calmed down, however, his words still contained a fearsome murderous intent.

Many people couldn’t help but shudder at the overwhelming pressure.

Boom!

At the same time, on the other side, chains of Divine Laws intertwined, about to fall like meteors from the sky.

A force that could crush all cultivators to ashes. It was densely packed like a net of the heavens, its grand momentum impossible to stop.

The mountainous Sacred Dharma Bodies fought against each other, their might and aura shaking the earth, as even the massive mountain ranges turned into dust when they raised their hands. Everything else felt extremely minuscule in comparison, making countless cultivations tremble in fear.

Whoosh!

One after another, a number of divine rainbows appeared along the skyline!

Many Gu Family powerhouses and Young Supremes rushed towards the scene quickly.

They had never thought that someone would dare to do something like this, as it was equivalent to not putting the Ancient Immortal Gu Family in their eyes.

“This person is courting death!”

Numerous experts of the Gu family showed extremely cold expressions, glaring at the figure wrapped in black as if they were looking at a dead person.

At that moment, many powerful individuals began to take action, attempting to kill the black figure. Auras of the Great Sacred Realm fluctuated, sweeping over the place, shocking many guests.

The existence of the Great Sacred Realm was a mainstay no matter what Daoist force they were in, and would undoubtedly become high-ranking members.

Not every ordinary old monster could reach this realm.

Yet there were so many of these monstrous auras in the Ancient Immortal Gu Family, which only showed how amazing their heritage was.

Gu Changge took a step forward into the palace.

“Thankfully I arrived on time. Are you alright, Miss Zijin?”

He looked at Wang Zijin, who was stained with blood, looking weak and pale, and asked with seemingly genuine concern on his face.

Wang Zijin was currently sitting cross-legged on the ground.

Strands of Spiritual Qi were flowing towards her body, like a whirlpool, healing her injuries at an alarming rate.

This scene was very strange. Every cell had a fairy-like colour, bright and crystal clear like stars from the sky.

Her special physique.

Over the years, her Immortal Spirit Body had become more and more congealed and real, as every cell glimmered with Immortal Aura; sacred and bedazzling.

She suddenly heard Gu Changge’s voice coming to her rescue.

Wang Zijin couldn’t help opening her eyes. Although she still looked weak, her complexion was now much better.

Only she herself knew how she had survived this arduous battle by using many of her trump cards. Any other ordinary Quasi-Sacred Realm existence would’ve been killed from the first strike alone.

But thanks to her Divine Artifacts and many tricks, she wasn’t hurt too badly.

“Brother Gu…”

Looking at Gu Changge, Wang Zijin smiled slightly, a little pale.

“I’m fine, this sort of injury is nothing-“

However, as she spoke, some blood gushed out from the corner of her mouth, and she shook slightly, seemingly about to faint.

Gu Changge’s eyes flashed slightly at this sight. His quick hands immediately left his sides, supporting her before she fell.

There was a trace of a smile in Wang Zijin’s eyes as she fell into his arms with a very weak expression.

“Brother Gu, thank you for coming to my rescue. I’m afraid if you were a step slower, you wouldn’t have been able to see me again.”

She whispered fearfully.

Wang Zijin naturally knew that Gu Changge’s expression of concern was fake.

After all, no matter how well he pretended, it was easy to tell since there was no actual warmth in his eyes.

In Wang Zijin’s view, there were two main reasons Gu Changge came to rescue her so quickly.

The first was that such a terrible event happened in the Immortal Gu Family. If it was not handled well by them, they would quickly lose their face.

If she had unfortunately died here, with the Immortal Gu Family unable to even notice it, they would surely be held accountable. Moreover, it would inevitably lead to a grudge forming between the Ancient Immortal Gu and Wang Families.

Gu Changge, as the sole Young Master, would definitely not be happy with such a situation, thus explaining his reaction. Apart from showing concern, he must make sure to let everyone know that the Gu Family had nothing to do with the assassination.

In fact, Wang Zijin’s injury was no longer a problem, but at this time, she just couldn’t help but want to tease Gu Changge like this.

‘What a cold, ruthless guy; without any special means, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult for me to impress him.’

‘With this pitiful and vulnerable look of mine, he wouldn’t be able to avoid being tempted as long as he is a man.’

She was still very confident about her own appearance. Whether it was in her previous life or this life, she was undoubtedly a top-notch beauty.

‘Maybe Gu Changge will react a little this time.’

Gu Changge looked at Wang Zijin who had fallen into his arms. He seemed stunned and somewhat fazed.

But soon, his face returned to a calm expression, and he spoke guiltily.

“Today’s matter was a result of the Gu Family being negligent. I’m truly sorry, Miss Zijin. This Gu will take responsibility and make up for the losses Miss Zijin suffered one by one.”

With his eyesight, it was natural to see that Wang Zijin had recovered from his injuries, and her surging vitality could be called abnormal.

But he didn’t bother to care about her intentions.

Gu Changge had always been dismissive of this.

However, in order to maintain the personality he created in front of Wang Zijin, he chose to change the subject without exposing her.

If he responded to Wang Zijin, it would inevitably make her suspicious, which was not beneficial to Gu Changge’s future plans.

He was long familiar with these kinds of things anyways.

Whether it was Yue Mingkong or Gu Xian’er, everything they saw was what Gu Changge wanted them to see.

Seeing Gu Changge simply changing the subject.

Wang Zijin did not look too surprised.

‘Gu Changge is a man with a heart of steel, he is simply not interested in me.’

‘Look at his gentle and polite tone, but in reality, he is indifferent to the bones.’

In Wang Zijin’s view, this act of saving beauty lacked sincerity.

“Does Brother Gu know who wants to assassinate me?”

Afterwards, Wang Zijin also got serious and asked.

Gu Changge glanced at her, and said thoughtfully, “Perhaps… the Forbidden Demonic Arts’ Inheritor?”

“Brother Gu is right. It seems my identity has been revealed to him. He sent his subordinates to hide in the dark, intending to take the opportunity to kill me. I was fortunate this Great Sacred Realm existence underestimated me too much. This is how I was able to stall him.”

Wang Zijin said with a little smile. she never thought that this matter would have something to do with Gu Changge.

Moreover, from the mouth of the existence of the Great Sacred Realm, she also heard that its next goal was Gu Changge.

Therefore, in her opinion, Gu Changge was in the same boat as her; a target of Forbidden Demonic Arts’ Inheritor.

She didn’t think anything else regarding that.

“This is because of Miss Zijin’s strong Cultivation Base. Most people wouldn’t be able to delay them for so long.”

Gu Changge replied, taking a deep look at Wang Zijin.

Wang Zijin knew about Gu Changge’s mysterious Cultivation Base. Let alone her cultivation, she couldn’t even hide her identity, as he had already guessed it.

In front of Gu Changge, she was the one who wasn’t able to see through the other.

He seemed even more mysterious than her at this point.

“The Demonic Arts’ Inheritor is rampant to the extreme. How dare he send someone to sneak into my Gu Family? And compared with Ye Ling last time, the one attacking this time has reached the Great Sacred Realm…”

“It seems my guess at that time wasn’t off. There should be an organisation behind the Forbidden Demonic Arts’ Inheritor.”

Gu Changge sighed slightly when he heard the words, and looked a little bit troubled about the matter.

Wang Zijin nodded.

She also heard Gu Changge say this sentence, and now it seems to be confirmed.

At this time, Wang Zijin spoke again.

“I suspect that Ye Ling, who Brother Gu fought before, is actually not the real Inheritor of Forbidden Demonic Arts. He is just a chess piece. With his ability, it is obviously impossible to order around a Great Sacred Realm existence.”

And the reason why she thought so was entirely because of the existence of the Great Sacred Realm, the man surrounded by black shadows said the word “Master”.

What does this mean?

It means that there was a greater, more terrifying character behind him.

That little Ye Ling, even if he did receive the Demonic Arts Inheritance, wouldn’t have been able to acquire a subordinate like this instantly.

“Oh, how could this be? Ye Ling was just a pawn from the beginning?”

Gu Changge looked a bit surprised upon hearing this, before frowning:

“Ye Ling hasn’t reappeared for a long time, so it is difficult to confirm whether or not he is alive or dead.”

Hearing this, Wang Zijin nodded and said, with a deep chill in her eyes.

“It doesn’t matter whether Ye Ling is alive or dead. What’s important now is to find out the true identity of the Inheritor of Forbidden Demonic Arts, and what the hidden organisation behind them really is.”

Although she was decidedly on the opposite side of the Demonic Arts Inheritor because of her identity, almost being assassinated by a powerhouse in this way still made her feel very upset.

It gave birth to an unspeakable murderous intent. She wanted to find the real behind-the-scenes person and fight them with all her might.

The conversation between the two was overheard by the cultivators who came here one after another, and their expressions couldn’t help but change slightly.

And from this conversation, many Young Supremes had guessed the identity of Wang Zijin, their complexion changed suddenly, and they no longer dared to be as casual with her as before.

Compared to their Awe of Gu Changge…

The identity of Wang Zijin made them feel a kind of admiration and reverence for the Human Ancestor. It was very different.

If you talk in detail, the difference was like the difference between admiring one’s past ancestors versus fearing the currently powerful in the world.

“It’s no wonder that Wang Zijin was targeted. It turns out that her identity is actually as the descendant of the Human Ancestral Hall.” Ye Langtian could not help but sigh deeply. He didn’t expect this at all.

“Even the descendant of the Human Ancestral Hall has appeared. I am afraid that this marks the start of our golden age…”

The rest of the Young Supremes, regardless of men and women, had complex emotions swirling within their eyes.

“It seems that the person who tried to assassinate her should have something to do with the Inheritor of Forbidden Demonic Arts. Now that a being of the Great Sacred Realm has appeared, the world will no doubt become more restless!”

‘I don’t know if the Human Ancestor will return. If the Ancestor is alive, then there might still be hope for this world.’

Many older cultivators and strong men thought this in their hearts. Since, after all, they also hoped that this world of cultivation could be peaceful.

And the person who can return them to a stable and peaceful life…

Was only the Human Ancestor.

For the human race, the Human Ancestor was an extraordinary figure.

Human Ancestor, Ancient Emperor, Earthly Kings, and Heavenly Emperors. In ancient times, there were far too many ancient existences with these titles. No one truly knew the extent of their Cultivation Base.

Because these titles were given not based on their Cultivation Base, but based on their great deeds towards sentient races, which had a different meaning for different races.

Even the Human Ancestor was split into different branches, such as Xuanyuan Human Ancestor, Jiang Human Ancestor, etc.

Though, by now, these branches have all disappeared. Only the two-word term Human Ancestor has been passed down.

The Emperor of the Primordial Ten Thousand Races was also actually called so by the Primordial Ten Thousand Races respectfully. Because across the ages, there were very few existences that could be called Ancient Emperors.

Such as Emperor Ying, Emperor Bai, and Emperor Sheng…

But they were all amazing talents without exception. No one could ever tell their Cultivation Base, as even if a True Immortal, or some existence stronger than a True Immortal, stood in front of them… they would not be guaranteed to win against the Ancient Emperors.

With the great achievements, people worship and chant day and night, so that even after death, the body would be surrounded by endless ceremonial mantras. It was potent enough to drag one back from Hell itself!

From this, we can see its horror.

Throughout infinite eras, there were very few existences that can be recognized by sentient beings as worthy of being called Ancient Emperors.

Boom!

That is to say, when everyone was talking about it and was extremely shocked by this tonight, in the high altitude, that amazing battle was finally over.

Terrible waves swept across the sky and the ground.

The moment powerhouses from Gu Family took action, there was no suspense in this battle.

Under the siege of many Great Sacred Realm powerhouses, the figure surrounded by rich black runes uttered an earth-shattering shout, as if he knew that there was no possibility of surviving.

Puff!

The next moment, he was like a small black sun, suddenly swelling and becoming bigger, and the black rune, circulating in it, burst out with light that made everyone’s heart palpitate!

At the critical moment, he chose to blow himself up!

How terrifying was the self-destruction of a Great Sacred Realm? No one needed to say it out loud.

Next, everyone’s colour changed, their spirits were trembling, and even their legs were weak and they slumped directly to the ground.

“He can’t escape.” Wang Zijin whispered, but she seemed very calm.

Buzz!

At this time, on the inner island of Gu’s family, a light cough sounded, as if he was embarrassed because it was a little late.

And suddenly!

A huge palm appeared, covering the heaven and the earth, and one of them seemed to be annihilating the universe, and another was recreating it!

The runes were flowing, and the glow of the sun flickered, like chaos hovering up and down in the void, just as if the Galaxy Cluster hangs one after another and condenses there.

The momentum was overwhelming and shocked the world.

The self-detonating wave of aura instantly calmed down.

After a moment of silence, the sound of inhaling cold air sounded below.

“I’m afraid that the fluctuation of the attack just now has far surpassed what a Quasi-Supreme Realm could achieve. Was it a Supreme Realm’s Attack?!”

Hiss!

“The Gu Family’s foundation is too terrifying. They already possess numerous cultivators in the Sacred Realm, yet now there is also a Supreme coming out to obliterate everything.”

Quasi-Supreme was already an ancestor-level existence of various Daoist forces. A Supreme Realm existence was definitely a walking myth.

For so many of the cultivators present, it was their first time seeing a Supreme existence’s attack. This palm seemed to cover the whole universe. It was so tyrannical that it made their scalps numb and tremble to the extreme.

“It’s a pity that it chose to blow itself up, leaving no useful information.

Seeing this scene, Gu Changge shook his head regretfully, “The time for the ancestor to take action was too slow, but if a Great Sacred Realm existence wants to blow himself up, it will be difficult to stop it either way.”

Wang Zijin shook her head when she heard the words, “Even if he is suppressed, I am afraid that he won’t get any useful news. If they dare to assassinate me, and in broad daylight no less, then they must have concocted a solid strategy with no loopholes. It’d be impossible not to think of such a possibility.”

Gu Changge smiled, “Miss Zijin’s words are reasonable, I have worried too much.”

He looked in the direction where the aftermath had dissipated, and his eyes flashed with a different colour.

This self-detonation was naturally what he himself had ordered.

However, Gu Changge still kept one of its hands. After all, this kind of puppet has strong regenerating power. So as long as it is not really fully wiped out, there was still a chance to recover.

At this time, he only needed to send people to guard the palace, so that the cultivators of all major forces can perceive and detect its breath, and he can achieve his purpose.

And then he could recover the core of the puppet from the broken runes.

After being repaired, it can be reused in the future.

And soon, as Gu Changge expected, many strong men rose into the sky and rushed to the sky to verify the identity of the figure from the lingering aura.

Many people now know the identity of Wang Zijin.

The position of the Ancestral Hall was almost otherworldly.

No one dared to offend them easily.

Who would attack and kill Wang Zijin for no reason? The Immortal Gu Family? How could this be possible? If Wang Zijin had an accident in the Ancient Immortal Gu Family, they would definitely be the first to take the blame.

They would be rushing to protect her with all their might instead of killing her.

So many people thought of the Inheritor of Forbidden Demonic Arts, and for a while, a layer of haze appeared on everyone’s heads.

The younger generation was robbed before.

But now it was the Great Sacred Realm cultivator, what does this mean? It goes without saying.

Even many old people had a cold back at this time, giving birth to bad emotions.

They sensed the threat.

‘Behind the Inheritors of Forbidden Demonic Arts, I am afraid that, just as Young Master Changge guessed that day, there is an organisation.’

Many people guessed in their hearts, especially the younger generation, and now they were in awe of Gu Changge to the extreme.

There was no difference between his words and an oracle’s predictions.

And soon, Gu Changge also came to the sky, closing his eyes and being like the rest of the strong, seeming to perceive the aftermath of the battle just now, so as to determine its origin.

But, in reality, he was looking for the core of the puppet and intended to quietly take it away.

“If this old man has guessed right, the aura seems to be from the secret technique of the Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain.”

At this time, an old antique with a very long history suddenly exclaimed, his closed eyes suddenly opened, and he was extremely shocked.

His words also caused the rest of the strong nearby to open their eyes, revealing shock and disbelief.

For a while, the place even quieted down.

And Gu Changge also found the core of the puppet and quietly placed it in the Inner World.

He also opened his eyes and sighed slightly, “This remaining aura of combat is exactly the same as Ye Ling when he fought me that day. The two seem to be of the same origin.”

Needless to say, many old antiques have also sensed it. They obviously have an understanding of Forbidden Demonic Arts and will not make an error in judgement.

In the high altitude, more and more cultivators came, and the atmosphere became very heavy.

Seeing this, Gu Changge smiled deeply.

‘Now, the temporary black pot has been set…’
