I Am the Fated Villain – Chapter 113

Chapter 113: Gu Changge’s plan; a chill running down the back!

The day after Gu Changge was “injured” by Gu Xian’er.

Gu Changge was announced as the heir by the Elders and the Palace Master, and this matter was even acknowledged by the Great Elder himself.

This incident soon caused a huge uproar in the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace.

All the disciples were shocked.

Everyone knew that the Great Elder and Gu Changge have always been at odds with each other, and there was some dispute between the two of them a while back.

The Great Elder was so enraged that he caused many of the stars beyond the realm to tremble and almost fall from the sky.

But now, he has suddenly announced Gu Changge as the heir.

Many disciples couldn’t believe it, but they didn’t dare to question anything, even though they felt reluctant that the heir had been decided so quickly.

But in front of Gu Changge, they did not dare to snatch the position of the heir, the thought didn’t even cross their mind.

Even the true disciples chose to avoid Gu Changge. They either went to travel for the experience or chose to go into seclusion to cultivate.

The rest were inner and outer disciples, are they even worthy?

Not to mention that Gu Changge has already covered the whole Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace with his palm. Even if he was not announced as the heir, it would be an empty title to any other than him.

No one dared to have the slightest objection.

The day before yesterday, Gu Changge was seemingly injured by his so-called little sister, Gu Xian’er, and didn’t show up for the whole day.

Gu Xian’er, once again, caused quite a stir in the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace.

After all, she was the only disciple who dared to challenge Gu Changge and fight him.

However, many people heard that Gu Changge did not resist at that time and was badly injured.

In the meantime, many people were speculating what past grudges there were between Gu Xian’er and Gu Changge.

It’s a good idea to have a look at the latest news and rumours, no matter where they are, people are always eager to talk about such matters.

The formidable strength of Gu Xian’er also attracted the attention of many disciples.

After all, she is the Great Elder’s direct disciple, and her talent on the road to Heavenly Dao was no less than that of Gu Changge.

Many people feel that she has a bright future and will definitely become a powerful figure in the Upper Realm!

During this period, some Elders announced that the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace will hold a ceremony in seven days to announce Gu Changge as the heir.

At the same time, the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace also informed all the various Ancient Dynasties in the Upper Realm that they would open the deep Immortal Road to reap the secrets of the hidden immortal treasures that were released some time ago.

When this news came out, all the Daoist sects and powers in the Upper Realm were shocked, including many Immortal sects, Immortal Clans, Imperial families, and even Ancient Immortal families.

Even some descendants of ancient mythical beings that had not been in contact with the outside world for a long time had also come out.

For there was not only the inheritance but also a secret realm…

Back then, a terrifying being in the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace also ascended to the Land of Immortals.

It contains a myriad of opportunities for attaining immortality; however, it also contains countless dangers. The mist covering the area was so thick that even the Elders of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace did not dare to venture into it.

In addition, the Immortal Ancient Continent is home to many creatures and spirits, isolated from the rest of the world and guarded by the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace Elders regularly.

Once the Immortal Road is opened, there will definitely be an influx of Young Supremes, who could predict their life and death in there?

For this reason, the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace also made a request to the forces, each force can only send a maximum of ten Young Supremes, in addition to having a person in charge.

As soon as this news came out, it caused a big uproar.

Naturally, the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace was biassed in their stance with regards to rogue cultivators. Instead of imposing rules, they were simply not allowed to enter. 

The situation of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace was helpless. Just how many guards from the Heavenly Dao Ancient City did they have to station there for today?

The number needn’t be mentioned.

It is also a given that one must abide by the rules of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace.

Such a situation allowed many cultivators to understand the move of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace to announce Gu Changge as its heir. Presumably, it is to deal with this unprecedented scenario. .

“The Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace is wise! Who in the younger generation today is as powerful as the Young Master of the Gu family? When the younger generation all gather at the Heavenly Daoist Immortal Palace, they are bound to compete…”

“But with the young master of the Gu family around, many of them are likely to be more restrained. Truly, a clever move!”

“Not necessarily. Recently, many Young Supremes have also broken through to the Conferred King Realm. I’m afraid that there will still be battles between the tigers and the dragons.”

“And I heard that this time, the heir of the Ancient Immortal Ye family, Ye Langtian – known as the reincarnation of an Ancient Emperor – who is said to be on a par with the Gu family’s young master, took a big loss in the hands of a family member named Ye Ling…”

“Though Ye Ling is not as good as Ye Langtian, their match ended in a draw, proving Ye Ling’s strength..”

“The young man named Ye Ling may one day be even able to contend with the Gu Family’s young master…”

“I’ve even heard people say Ye Ling indeed wishes to challenge the young master of the Gu Family. He said so himself, which makes me wonder if there is some sort of grudge between them.”

………………..

Within the Heavenly Dao Ancient City, in a divine palace by the street, Ye Langtian, who was listening to the conversations of the cultivators outside, had a gloomy face.

“Brother Gu, I didn’t expect to get you involved in this matter…”

He was slightly apologetic and raised his glass to Gu Changge who was in front of him.

The expression on Gu Changge’s clear and aloof face was indifferent and calm. He also raised his glass, toasted and took a sip of the wine.

Hearing this, he lightly smiled and said.

“They are nothing but a bunch of ants, you can kill them with one hand, why is brother Ye worrying so much?”

The girl in dressed purple beside Ye Langtian nodded her head and agreed.

“Young Master Gu Changge is right, brother, why do you care so much? Ye Ling is just a member from the branch family who only knows how to commit tricks and schemes, you are being too wary of him.”

In her opinion, Ye Ling is powerful, but only thanks to some tricks and external objects. If they truly fought seriously, Ye Ling would most definitely not be a match for Ye Langtian

The two of them were incomparable. Despite the many clan elders’ hopes for Ye Ling, this did not change anything.

Ye Langtian was simply too anxious about this matter.

She agreed with Gu Changge’s opinion that Ye Ling was just a small ant and could be slapped to death no matter how much he resisted.

As she thought of this, the purple-clothed girl’s pretty white face carried some dissatisfaction, her eyes rolling slightly with an annoyed look.

It was none other than Ye Liuli.

During this time, she and her brother Ye Langtian had been waiting in the Heavenly Dao Ancient City for the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace to open up the Immortal Road.

She never thought that she would coincidentally meet Gu Changge today.

To be precise, it was a coincidental encounter with Gu Changge and Yue Mingkong.

The woman beside Gu Changge had a picture-perfect face and a dignified, heavenly aura. Her phoenix eyes lightly swayed as she gave off an indescribable sense of majesty.

The future female emperor of the Supreme Immortal Dynasty.

Ye Liuli envied the relationship between the two, like a pair of immortals, who were sitting together. They looked like a match made in heaven.

She noticed Gu Changge’s small gestures, especially under the table.

Although Yue Mingkong is also drinking wine with one hand, the other was gently held in the hand of Gu Changge.

However, she couldn’t see any difference on her face. It was perfectly natural, exuding a sense of nobility and lack of profanity.

If the two were not close with one another, how could she let him touch her with such a passion?

Ye Liuli’s heart was envious, she had an inexplicable emotion towards Gu Changge.

Especially after coming up from the Lower Realm.

But from the scene in front of her, she could see that Gu Changge and Yue Mingkong were very close and not as at odds with each other as the rumours said.

“Brother Gu has a point. In the beginning, I also thought Ye Ling was not much of a concern.”

“However, it was because of this that I suffered a big loss in the hands of Ye Ling. This made me wonder of the recent rumours which state that Ye Ling actually wishes to challenge Brother Gu.”

Ye Langtian shook his head as he said so. His words appeared sincere, but he also had his own intentions.

As a fellow clan member and the Young Master, he is afraid that if he randomly attacks Ye Ling, it will invite criticism and dissatisfaction from the clan Elders.

However, the fact that Ye Ling has recently declared that he wants to challenge Gu Changge, has made him think of a way to make use of the situation and kill him.

Ye Langtian was a person capable of becoming the heir of the Ye Clan. Thus, he was naturally not a good person, and he considered everything carefully.

Of course, Gu Changge probably did not care about this, so he also did not say any more.

“Oh, according to brother Ye, that Ye Ling seems to be quite capable.” Gu Changge said after hearing such remarks.

His expression still looked very natural, making Ye Langtian wonder if he had not heard what he was saying as his heart was filled with helplessness.

“Ye Ling’s background is only that of a branch family of the Ancient Immortal Ye Family, but he actually managed to get to this point, it must not be quite as simple. Does Brother Ye know some more details about this?”

Gu Changge suddenly changed his words and asked casually, bringing up the matter of Ye Ling’s origins.

Gu Changge was not surprised by the fact that Ye Ling could be so ambitious. 

Not only can this be used to make a name for himself in the Upper Realm and make him “more popular”, but also make his face known.

After all, Ye Ling’s sworn brother, the Young Master of the White Tiger Clan, Bai Lie, suffered a great loss and humiliation at his hands, and Ye Ling was attacked and almost killed by his fiancée, Yue Mingkong.

Hence, it’s only natural that Ye Ling would hate him to death.

After all, he is a Favored Son of Heaven, born to clash with him. And since Ye Ling obtained the Inheritance of the Ancient Deity of Reincarnation, why wouldn’t he become even more arrogant?

He didn’t even put Ye Langtian who was as famous as Gu Changge in his eyes, let alone Gu Changge himself.

How could Gu Changge not guess such a small matter?

For him, the higher Ye Ling jumps now, the deeper he would fall.

In addition, Gu Changge has already planned out how to deal with Ye Ling. Not only would he make Ye Ling lose his reputation, but he can also sit back and reap the benefits of the harvest.

Thinking about this, Gu Changge’s smile deepened, and he couldn’t help but squeeze Yue Mingkong’s small delicate hand.

Like holding a flawless pure jade in his hand, he didn’t want to let it go.

This caused Yue Mingkong to look at him, and let out a light snort out of her nose.

Unfortunately, they were outside, so she couldn’t be honest with Gu Changge. She also knew that he was deliberately teasing her.

The injury that Gu Changge received from Gu Xian’er’s attack that day has long since healed, and it is all thanks to that bitter trick Yue Mingkong’s attitude towards him also improved a little, and it wasn’t as cold as before

Getting along with her now will not cause much trouble.

Gu Changge left the mountain gate and came to the Heavenly Dao Ancient City to do business. Yue Mingkong saw it and followed him, wondering what he was up to.

But when Gu Changge perceived Ye Liuli’s location, he deliberately created a coincidental encounter.

The two of them then came to the divine palace to drink and chat about the recent situation.

The divine palace had been emptied by Gu Changge’s followers and no other cultivators were present, so it did not cause much of a stir.

Gu Changge and Yue Mingkong’s small gesture of “eye-to-eye” did not elude Ye Liuli’s eyes, which further confirmed that the two were on good terms and made her envious.

At this time, when he heard Gu Changge’s question, Ye Langtian also pondered and said, “I have considered the matter that Brother Gu said. Ye Ling has likely received guidance from an expert or may have gotten some ancient inheritance. In my fight with him, the skills he used were extremely strange, suppressing even my Divine Techniques…”

But he also investigated Ye Ling, and in the end, found that there was nothing unusual about him, nor had he received any guidance from an expert.

So it is likely that Ye Ling has received some sort of ancient and powerful inheritance.

“It seems that Brother Ye and I have similar thoughts. If Ye Ling can act so mighty and arrogant, he must have a strong backing.” Gu Changge said with a slight smile.

Ye Langtian nodded and said, “Does brother Gu also think that he got some sort of inheritance?”

Meanwhile, Yue Mingkong heard what was being said and looked at Gu Changge strangely.

‘Ye Ling’s Ancient Deity of Reincarnation’s Inheritance, is Gu Changge going to expose it?’

‘Why else would he say something like that and lead Ye Langtan in this direction?’

But soon Yue Mingkong secretly shook her head.

With Gu Changge’s personality, she can be sure that he would not let Ye Ling’s secret be known to anyone other than him.

If she and Gu Changge did not have a special relationship, perhaps Gu Changge would have killed her to avoid this secret being exposed.

So before killing Ye Ling and robbing him of his heritage, Gu Changge will never take the initiative to reveal this secret.

So what was he trying to do?

Yue Mingkong was puzzled, then heard Gu Changge say lightly, “By the way, Brother Ye, I heard that recently many outstanding disciples of different sects and Daoist families have disappeared due to unknown reasons, have you heard about this?”

Hearing these words, Yue Mingkong was taken aback.

Her pupils couldn’t help but shrink slightly, and her back was cold, feeling a terrible chill in the divine palace in broad daylight.

She instantly knew what Gu Changge was planning to do.
