I Am the Fated Villain

Chapter 166: Fearing Gu Changge’s Sudden Concern; No Good Intentions!

The appearance of Gu Changge instantly drew the attention of everyone on the battlefield. 

Whether it was the Young Creatures of the Tiangou Clan or their followers, they all looked together. 

On the cliffs surrounded by mist took root an Immortal Flower that seemed to be blooming with a noble and sacred aura.

A man that looked like a young deity sat with fluttering robes and gleaming hair.

Although his face was pale and weak, his gaze seemed to be filled with indifference and profound meaning, overlooking all the creatures below. 

He excluded a terrifying and frightening aura.

“Gu Changge!”

“He finally showed up!” 

The person in the lead was a beautiful woman – the leader of the Tiangou Clan.

There were a pair of golden wings on her back, sacred and dazzling, and when she struck, a large rain of light shot forth.

It was Yu Jing, the one at odds with Hei Yanyu of the Black Heavenly Eagle Clan. 

She was here to take advantage of Gu Changge’s injuries, rushing here to kill him. 

She was very powerful, and her Cultivation Base was already in the middle stage of the False God Realm. 

Boom! 

She looked at Gu Changge on top of the mountain with killing intent and an icy glare. After all, she had seen his true face. 

This young man with a dusty temperament and a transcendent vulgarity was the culprit who killed Long Teng. 

Gu Changge, on the other hand, has been recovering from his injuries and has not even shown his face during this time. 

Yu Jing was not as foolish as Hei Yanyu thought. 

She had been watching him, patiently waiting as she worked with many native cultivators to trouble Gu Changge and find more information regarding him. 

However, she later discovered that all of those people had disappeared in this area. 

Because of this, Yu Jing knew that Gu Changge’s injuries were indeed authentic. 

In most of these cases, his subordinates used a crystalline pill to solve problems. 

The pill contained a terrifying Sword Qi, enough to make even existences at the Half-Step Sacred Realm pale, as even they would not dare to take it head on. 

‘Such a powerful pill obviously cannot be used so casually.’

‘How can ordinary people have it?’ 

‘Obviously, Gu Changge gave it to them, so what does this mean?’

‘It means Gu Changge has reached the point where he can no longer muster any more strength.’

‘Otherwise, he would not choose to use such a precious pill.’ 

‘After all, these are one-time secret treasures. It has a complicated refinement process, and if you use one, you will lose one.’

Even she had a headache, for the power of these pills contained Sword Qi comparable to an attack by those in the Half-Step Sacred Realm. 

Unless they themselves were in the Sacred Realm or used a Sacred-grade Artifact, who would be left to contend with such a force?

Thus, Yu Jing concluded that Gu Changgeʼs body must have a major problem. There was even a chance that he had used up most of his strength against the Inheritor of the Forbidden Demonic Arts.

Otherwise, this situation wouldn’t be possible. 

‘This time I brought a Sacred-grade Artifact. Although I can’t use its full power at my current strength, only a wisp of its true might is needed to suppress everything.’

‘It seems that Gu Changgeʼs injury is indeed very serious. This is a good opportunity for me to avenge Lord Long Teng and the people of the clan! With this, I’ll become famous, and the reputation of my Tiangou Clan will soar.’

Many thoughts flashed in Yu Jingʼs heart as she gazed at Gu Changge on the far off hill with killing intent. 

Gu Changge also scanned the many scenes below with a flash of strange colour in his eyes. 

“Master!” 

“I greet the master!” 

At that moment, the mountains all resounded with mighty voices and divine rainbows fell.

All of them were followers of Gu Changge. 

They had fought fiercely with the Tiangou Clan, filled with brilliant lights that had reduced even a large mountain range nearby into ashes. 

Now that they had seen Gu Changge, their master, who was in seclusion for many days, they couldn’t help but cheer and respectfully send their greetings to him as they shouted.

In their opinion, the reason Gu Changge showed up even though he was injured was… to inspire them all! 

Suddenly, the murderous aura of Gu Changge’s followers skyrocketed, their eyes red with bloodlust as the sky shook with the cries of the Tiangou Clan’s younger generation. 

“The sword pill given by the master can cut down all the enemies!” 

Someone yelled as he used a crystalline pill, which contained monstrous killing intent.

Puff!

The pill bloomed in the void. 

A terrifying Sword Qi suddenly appeared, thick and strong like a mountain, flying continuously like a stream, enveloped by a sharp intent, splitting apart Heaven and the Earth. 

Puff! Puff! Puff! 

The Tiangou clansmen became frightened and desperate as they collapsed under the Sword Qi, their bodies and spirits destroyed. 

“I’m afraid you don’t have any more of these pills.” Yu Jingʼs expression was cold without the slightest hint of surprise. 

She was already planning to activate the Sacred-grade Artifact. 

Boom! 

A scorching and radiant aura appeared from her sleeves like a small golden sun had been brought back to life. 

Its terrifying power pressed down in all directions, causing many peopleʼs complexions to change drastically. Some were shocked, while others felt a deep sense of panic. 

“The aura of a Saint…”

[PR/N: Saint = Name for Sacred Realm Cultivator or Sacred-grade Artifact] 

“A Sacred-grade Artifact!” someone exclaimed, their eyes full of fear. 

Only Sacred Realm cultivators can contend against Sacred-grade Artifacts. For cultivators below the Sacred Realm, it’s a crushing power, impossible to resist! 

‘In order to deal with me, they even brought Sacred-grade Artifacts. The Ancient Immortal Clans must be quite nervous.’ Gu Changgeʼs face revealed a sort of inexplicable meaning. 

He was not surprised. 

Throughout this period of time, the various clans of the Ancient Immortal Continent have suffered heavy casualties. 

The outside world has always had a tacit understanding of the Ancient Immortal Continent. 

This is because the Ancient Immortal Continent wasn’t always here. An ancestor of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace had moved it here using its supreme divine power from somewhere else.

Therefore, although the other Daoist Sects do covet the Ancient Immortal Continent, they endured it and gave face to the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace.

However, because of Gu Changge’s plans, the conflicts between the various native clans in the Ancient Immortal Continent and the various Daoist Sects in the outside world were increasing day by day. 

The young geniuses of both sides have suffered heavy casualties as cultivators of some Daoist Sects were even wiped out. 

And now, the Tiangou Clan’s blatant use of Sacred-grade Artifacts served to only further this conflict. 

This was no longer a trip for the younger generation to gain experience. Instead, it had turned into a massacre for the outside cultivators.

No matter how deeply rooted the Clans of the Ancient Immortal Continent were, they were nothing more than a Secret Realm for many Daoist Sects outside. 

As of this moment, they had crossed the line.

How can the outside world tolerate this? Won’t they be angry and retaliate against the Ancient Immortal Continent? 

This gave Gu Changge a good reason… to “suppress others with might”. 

‘What a wonderful opportunity…’ 

The reason why so many Daoist Sects were so strict with upholding their end of the bargain was to ensure that there would be no excuses.

But now, he has created the perfect excuse! 

“For the outside world, the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace is a large and delicious piece of meat. The Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace only has control over the entrance of the Ancient Immortal Continent, unable to intervene in the life and death matters that go on within.” 

As he thought of this, a playful expression appeared on Gu Changge’s face. 

The Young Supremes of the Tiangou Clan were, in his opinion, stupid… but they were perfect for the job. 

He’d taken advantage of this moment to jumpstart his operations. With his identity, he could easily kill this group of natives.

It was then that Gu Changge’s gaze moved yet again. 

Gu Xianʼer, who was forced to join the battle, was entangled by a few young geniuses of the Tiangou Clan with bright runes appearing around her body. 

It seemed to be a combination of supreme-grade techniques, powerful skills, and terrifying divine powers.

It seemed as though the stars of the heavens themselves appeared, slaughtering enemies across all directions. 

Although Gu Xian’er was small, she showed an invincible demeanour as her terrifying Qi and Vitality exploded, surging ferociously.

Her opponents all paled, vomiting blood and flying upside down as some were even beaten into a mist of blood on the spot. 

“I said that you have the wrong person! Gu Changge and I have nothing to do at all!” 

“You want to deal with Gu Changge, so what does it matter to me, Gu Xianʼer?” 

At this moment, she was so upset that her jade-like fist shook as a buzz created a terrifying and shocking sound in the void.

She had just left Gu Changgeʼs palace, but before she could fly away, she was stopped by a group of Tiangou Clan creatures. 

Without saying a word, they immediately came at her with the intent to kill.

Gu Xianʼer was so angry that she wanted to fly back to the palace and settle accounts with Gu Changge then and there!

‘“You’ll help anyway,” urgh! He was right!’

‘Me? Help him?’ 

‘Like hell that’ll happen… is what I thought.’ 

‘No wonder Gu Changge laughed so annoyingly.’

As Gu Xianʼer fought with them, she noticed Gu Changge make an appearance on the mountain in the distance. 

She was alright when she didn’t but… the moment she saw him was the moment her day was ruined. She wanted nothing more than to rush over and kick his chair! 

‘That guy is still watching the battle so leisurely, not even making any moves. Does he really not plan on doing anything?’ 

‘Gu Changge, you b*****d. Your belly is full of bad water… I visited you because I was worried, yet you dare bully me?’

Gu Xianʼer discreetly grit her teeth. She was angry, so angry that her eyes have yet again seemed like they would turn into a sharp sword to skewer Gu Changge. 

She then felt a whoosh of cold air, like something bad was about to happen. 

And at this moment… 

Gu Changge glanced at her from a distance and said unhurriedly, “Xianʼer, you’ve come from thousands of miles to help your dear brother… it must have been hard for you!” 

There was an inexplicable smile at the corner of his mouth. 

‘There is no need to show sympathy for this brat. After all, she did ask for a good spanking.’

“Gu Changge, donʼt talk nonsense!” 

Upon hearing Gu Changgeʼs words, Gu Xianʼer felt ominous, her beautiful eyes filled with an icy glare that told of how much she wanted to tear up that mouth of his. 

‘That idiot is purposefully causing trouble!’ 

“These two people are together! It’s obvious, yet you dare lie and try to hide it from us!” 

“The girl is with Gu Changge. She dares to lie even after having killed so many of us.” 

“You have no right to complain about what happens next! Get her!” 

Gu Changge’s words riled up the Tiangou Clan’s Young Geniuses as their attacks grew fiercer.

Runes flickered and rumbed as terrifying divine abilities were unleashed, filling the sky with divine splendour and terrifying fluctuations. 

Gu Xianʼer glared at Gu Changge bitterly…

She added this to the list of things he owed her.

At the moment, thinking was a difficult task, as she was left to focus on the battle at hand. 

Although her Cultivation Base had a breakthrough, it was still far behind that of the numerous creatures of the Ancient Immortal Continent, the same opponents in front of her. 

At best, she can force a draw, but it would be difficult to tell who has the upper hand the longer the fight goes on.

In terms of quantity, the Tiangou clansmen held a great advantage. 

’Gu Xianʼer may only be in the Conferred King Realm, but she is a Favoured Daughter of Heaven. Within the same realm, she is invincible, and she could easily fight against those in the higher realms. This battle should be quite routine for her.’ 

‘Your brother is no devil after all, for I am merely sharpening you. All of this is for your own good.’

Atop the mountain, Gu Changge squinted his eyes. 

He then continued to speak, as he took on a worried tone, “Be careful, Xian’er! With so many people around, you shouldn’t be careless. Otherwise, you might get hurt.” 

‘Why does Gu Changge suddenly care so much about me…?’

Gu Xian’er was taken aback by his words.

Along with his strange words, she saw a suspicious look on his face.

There was nothing more frightening than Gu Changge showing concern. 

‘Damn it, just how many plots do you have for me…?’ 

Gu Xian’er’s face soon changed as her anger boiled. She’d felt it, Gu Changge’s deep malice.

The words of concern were not meant for her ears, they were meant for her enemies, the Young Supremes of the Tiangou Clan. 

“Seems like Gu Changge cares about that girl; take her down quickly.” 

Hearing this, Yu Jing waved her hand and gave the order with a cold glint in her eyes. 

From these words, she could feel the unusual relationship between Gu Changge and Gu Xianʼer. 

Whoosh! Whoosh! 

“Kill her!” 

One after another, divine rainbows from the Tiangou Clan’s Young Supremes approached from all directions… all headed for Gu Xian’er.

“Gu Changge!” 

Gu Xianʼer was about to explode in anger as she gritted her teeth, her board of a chest taking lungfuls of air as she breathed heavily.
