I Am the Fated Villain - Chapter 161
Chapter 161: It’s not an exaggeration to call him a money giver; they are fans of Gu Changge
Soon, Gu Changge improved this portable cave and brought it into his inner world. Simultaneously, he utilized Destiny Point to create a separate space for storing divine weapons within the inner world.
A splendid golden light filled the area, carrying numerous profound implications. Various divine weapons, such as swords, spears, and halberds, were suspended. It was emitting a dazzling light capable of piercing the sky. These weapns were the expansion of space power.
In Gu Changge’s divine weapon collection, all the weapons were genuine and not created by runes. It meant his Divine Weapon Collection was akin to a treasure trove of Divine Armament. In unexpected situations, these weapons could potentially eliminate enemies directly, a testament to their power.
Gu Changge’s motivation for this endeavor was his wealth. With the sudden acquisition of so many divine weapons, he found no other purpose for them. Yin Mei selected a few useful divine weapons before stopping, leaving hundreds more in the cave behind.
The items left behind by the Reincarnated Heaven Lord were exceptional, leaving Gu Changge with nothing but gratitude towards him.
If Ye Ling was likened to a treasure-hunting mouse, the Reincarnated Heaven Lord was the generous provider of treasures. Afterwards, Gu Changge proceeded to another location to collect the small silver Lake of Reincarnation and the Reincarnation Myriad Root that had taken root within it, bringing them into his inner world.
The Reincarnation Mythical Root could serve as both a weapon and a nurturing agent for the Reincarnation Fruit. However, Gu Changge had yet to reach a point where he needed to use it as a weapon. With his tasks completed, he prepared to depart from this place. [Ed note: Reincarnated fruit is also known as Dao fruit]
“After returning to the outside world, just state that Ye Ling was severely injured and fled…”
Gu Changge briefed Yin Mei before proceeding.
“I understand, master. Ye Ling managed to escape despite being gravely wounded, employing a powerful last resort at a critical juncture.”
Yin Mei affirmed, demonstrating her sharpness.
Even though Ye Ling was deceased, it wasn’t time for the truth to be revealed. Gu Changge’s reputation as a practitioner of demonic arts depended on it. They needed to maintain a facade to deceive others.
“No… At a crucial moment, Ye Ling utilized his demonic abilities to inflict significant harm upon me, and he sustained severe injuries, seizing the chance to flee.”
Gu Changge corrected Yin Mei’s assertion, striving for precision.
Yin Mei’s observation was astute, yet not flawless. It was easy for Gu Changge to fake injuries from the Devouring Immortal Demonic Art, leaving behind evidence that would divert suspicion.
In doing so, Ye Ling’s threat would be magnified, as Gu Changge, a terrible figure, had been harmed by him. This would imprint a lasting impression of Ye Ling upon the world, strategically positioning Gu Changge for future actions.
“I understand. It’s the master’s ingenuity once again.”
Yin Mei exclaimed, realizing Gu Changge’s foresight. Her satisfaction stemmed from Gu Changge’s increasing trust in her, which is evident in his explanations and reliance on her judgment.
“Let’s go!”
Gu Changge uttered, prompting their departure. As they retraced their steps, Gu Changge suddenly coughed up blood, his complexion paling significantly, and his demeanor weakened. It appeared as though his origin had been injured. The timing of the injury had to be impeccable and flawlessly executed. However, this outward appearance was merely a superficial guise. Gu Changge would never willingly harm himself.
This incident occurred when Gu Changge rescued Yin Mei from Ye Ling’s grasp in a ruin 8,000 miles from the ancient town. A swarm of cultivators and creatures converged on the area, filling the sky with divine lights and warships. It was an impressive spectacle. Every corner was meticulously searched, with influential figures appearing atop hills—their spiritual senses extending throughout the vicinity.
Their objective was to hunt down the inheritors of demonic arts. This mobilization attracted thousands of young talents, including several esteemed individuals such as Wang Wushuang from the Immortal King Family, Ye Langtian from the Ye Clan, and Chi Ling from the Vermilion Bird Clan.
Despite their relentless pursuit, Ye Ling remained elusive. Chi Ling, perturbed by the lack of findings, suspected that Ye Ling had already departed.
Chi Ling, a tomb, has been discovered here. As we speculated, the ancient corpses within have been completely drained of their essence.
Boom!
A divine light descended from the sky, taking the form of a tall, imposing figure resembling a youthful deity. It was Ye Langtian, his demeanor grave as he spoke in a deep voice.
Is it true?
Chi Ling sighed, having suspected the presence of a tomb in the vicinity. Now, she saw her suspicions were confirmed. Furthermore, she observed that many ancient corpses within the mausoleum had been consumed and assimilated by Ye Ling, confirming their worst fears.
“Unfortunately, we arrived too late,” remarked Wang Wushuang, approaching from another direction, his figure obscured by mist.
He expressed disappointment at their futile efforts.
“Speaking of which, why haven’t we seen Brother Gu? Wasn’t he the one who informed us of this?”
Wang Wushuang pondered aloud, puzzled by Gu Changge’s absence. Logically, Gu Changge, who relayed the news, should have been present.
“Yes, why hasn’t Brother Gu shown up? I received the news from his followers.”
Ye Langtian added, sharing Wang Wushuang’s confusion. They had hurried here upon receiving the information. Yet, Gu Changge’s absence raised doubts about the accuracy of the news.
Perhaps Gu Changge anticipated our failure and chose not to come.
Chi Ling speculated, suggesting that Gu Changge might have foreseen Ye Ling’s escape amidst the onslaught of attackers.
Brother Changge may be confident he can locate Ye Ling. This might be his strategy to lure Ye Ling out into the open.
Chi Ling mused, basing her analysis on her understanding of Gu Changge’s tactics.
Upon hearing Chi Ling’s analysis, Ye Langtian’s eyes gleamed with approval as he nodded in agreement.
“Chi Ling’s insight is astute. Considering Brother Gu’s character, he wouldn’t make such errors. He likely anticipated Ye Ling’s escape and informed us to lure him out.” Wang Wushuang fell silent for a moment before reluctantly admitting, “It appears that we’re all being maneuvered by Brother Gu.”
Although he felt a twinge of reluctance, he understood the necessity of Gu Changge’s actions. While being manipulated by an average individual might elicit anger, they dared not resent Gu Changge, whose deeds were for the greater good of all races.
“At this juncture, Brother Changge may have already encountered Ye Ling…”
Chi Ling suggested. Ye Langtian couldn’t help but smile at Chi Ling’s deep understanding of Gu Changge.
“Brother Ye, mind your words,” Chi Ling cautioned, her response indicating a mix of surprise and amusement. She inwardly reminded herself not to let such remarks reach the ears of the future empress, Yue Mingkong. Chi Ling vividly recalled Yue Mingkong’s formidable strength, having witnessed her effortlessly slay a beast in the true god realm.
She believed Yue Mingkong’s power surpassed that of Ye Langtian and Wang Wushuang, even though it hadn’t been fully unveiled yet. The chilling warning conveyed in Yue Mingkong’s gaze lingered in Chi Ling’s memory as a stark reminder of her formidable presence.
If Chi Ling dared to approach Gu Changge too closely, she risked facing Gu Changge’s indifference and Yue Mingkong’s potentially lethal response. Suddenly, a streak of light darted from a distance, carrying a young cultivator wearing a shocked and disbelieving expression, hinting at urgent news to deliver.
“Not good…”
He exclaimed, visibly shaken, prompting Chi Ling, Wang Wushuang, Ye Langtian, and the other young supremes to focus their attention on him, their brows furrowed in concern.
“What’s the matter? Why the panic?”
One of the young supremes inquired, recognizing the newcomer as his follower.
“Young Master Changge was injured in a confrontation with the inheritor of demonic arts…” the young man’s voice quivered, his complexion drained of color as he delivered the alarming news.
The revelation was profoundly unsettling. Even the seemingly invincible Young Master Changge had fallen victim to the demonic art inheritor. It felt as though the very ground beneath their feet was crumbling.
“What!?” echoed the collective astonishment of those present, struggling to comprehend the gravity of the situation.
Gu Changge, facing off against the demonic art inheritor and sustaining injuries? The news was utterly staggering.
The cultivators in the vicinity stood frozen in shock, unable to digest the information. Recovering from the initial shock, Chi Ling revealed a rare concern about her otherwise icy demeanor.
“Is this true? Is Brother Changge alright?” she inquired urgently.
“The news comes from Young Lord Changge’s followers. While he seems to be badly injured, there’s no mention of any life-threatening conditions. Additionally, Young Master Changge successfully rescued Yin Mei, the Heavenly Maiden of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan, from the clutches of the demonic art inheritor…” the young man reported and was composed.
He gathered himself and addressed the assembled group. The news was undeniably shocking and hard to believe, especially given their ongoing search for the demonic art inheritor. Gu Changge’s sudden confrontation with him was unexpected.
“It’s a relief that he’s alright,” Chi Ling exhaled.
Her primary concern was Gu Changge becoming a target due to his formidable strength. Fortunately, his injuries seemed not life-threatening. Chi Ling couldn’t help but marvel at Ye Ling’s formidable abilities, which explained his lack of fear even in the face of divine realms.
However, Chi Ling’s expression turned grim as she contemplated the implications of Gu Changge’s injury. If even Gu Changge fell victim to Ye Ling, facing him would undoubtedly lead to certain doom.
“It appears our speculation was correct. Brother Changge indeed orchestrated this to draw out Ye Ling, but he underestimated Ye Ling’s strength,” Ye Langtian remarked, reflecting on the situation.
He recognized that Ye Ling possessed numerous trump cards, making Gu Changge’s injury somewhat expected.
“What about Ye Ling?” Wang Wushuang inquired, prompting the young man to respond, “Ye Ling managed to escape after utilizing a powerful trump card. Despite being severely injured by Young Lord Changge, his whereabouts are currently unknown.”
“Escaped? This is troubling! Even Gu Changge couldn’t eliminate him,” Wang Wushuang lamented, shaking his head.
Despite their frustrations, they couldn’t fault Gu Changge. His plan to apprehend the demonic art inheritor had backfired due to the latter’s cunning and endless arsenal of abilities. It seemed Ye Ling’s life would persist, posing a perpetual threat to them all.
“The fact that Young Master Changge rescued Yin Mei, the Heavenly Maiden of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan, from the clutches of the demonic art inheritor is quite surprising,” remarked one of the young supremes.
“Despite Young Master Changge’s controversial reputation, he couldn’t bear to see his senior sister perish and intervened at a critical moment. His compassion is truly admirable,” added another, echoing the sentiments of their peers.
Their words reflected a newfound respect and admiration for Gu Changge, stemming from his recent heroic actions. Initially indifferent towards him, they now felt ashamed and inspired by his courage and altruism. Gu Changge’s rescue of Yin Mei transformed their perceptions of him; he was no longer just the enigmatic young taboo but a figure worthy of admiration and respect.
“I always thought Young Master Changge was aloof and overbearing, but his compassionate side is unexpected. Yin Mei must be deeply moved,” remarked one of the young women, envying Yin Mei’s fortunate rescue. Others said admiration and longing for Gu Changge’s chivalrous deeds.
The group collectively decided to seek out Gu Changge for further clarification on the situation and to prepare themselves for potential encounters with Ye Ling in the future. They departed from the ruins, each enveloped in a divine light, heading towards Gu Changge’s last known location.
The news of Gu Changge’s encounter with the demonic art inheritor spread rapidly throughout the Immortal Ancient Continent, sparking shock and astonishment among young supremes who were not involved in the matter. Gu Changge’s actions stirred emotions and garnered widespread attention, solidifying his reputation as a courageous and righteous figure in the eyes of many.
