I Am the Fated Villain – Chapter 232

Chapter 232: The Fish Finally Took the Bait; Supreme Immortal’s Death.

Hearing this, Gu Changge looked somewhat surprised.

“It’s not impossible to let you go. But not right now, though it won’t be too long until…” He spoke casually, disapproval lacing his words.

However, hearing this ‘good news’, Jiang Chuchu’s back instead became even more cold and uneasy.

‘Does it mean that Gu Changge has really found out where the Human Ancestor’s Reincarnation is? Is this why he’s so confident? This issue will be resolved soon…?’

Thinking of this, Jiang Chuchu was deeply worried.

In any case, as the Saintess of the Human Ancestral Hall, she was naturally born to oppose Gu Changge, and it was impossible for her to join forces with him.

Although Gu Changge’s words just now had made her heart shake.

“You underestimate the Human Ancestor’s methods. Gu Changge, even if you currently have the upper hand, with the appearance of the Human Ancestor’s various backers, everything you have plotted and planned thus far will be completely wiped out…”

Jiang Chuchu looked at him and said calmly, “As for letting me go? I don’t believe you would be so kind. In the end, you will definitely find a way to kill me, lest your true identity be exposed…”

Hearing this, Gu Changge was stunned for a moment, as if he did not expect her to say such a thing.

He sighed before answering, “Why do you distrust me so? And what’s the big deal with letting you leave? Since you don’t believe me, how about I let you leave right now… though I’ll only allow it for a while at most.”

“If you are obedient, then I can consider letting you go out more in the future.”

He looked dead serious.

“Is what you said true?”

Jiang Chuchu was a little surprised to hear that, she was merely speaking out her mind, but Gu Changge actually agreed.

This suddenly caused an inexplicable emotion in her heart… like guilt, but also like confusion, an odd and very complicated sensation.

Buzz!

The next moment, Jiang Chuchu suddenly saw a flower bloom in front of her. She realized after a moment that she had left Gu Changge’s Inner World and appeared in a quaint and tall pavilion.

It was dark outside, the moon and stars twinkling.

“The Qi here… this is not in the Upper Realm…”

Jiang Chuchu’s expression changed slightly, as she immediately noticed the abnormality of the laws of the world.

This made her heart sink.

Since Gu Changge was now in the lower realm, it meant that her previous guess had probably become a reality.

The place where the Human Ancestor would be reincarnated had been found by Gu Changge.

“How is it? I didn’t lie to you, did I?”

“If you call me master at this time, maybe I will let you stay outside a little longer…”

Gu Changge looked at her with a somewhat intrigued expression.

Since Gu Changge dared to let her out, he must have the confidence to not be afraid of her suddenly running away.

So thinking of this, Jiang Chuchu’s expression was actually extraordinarily calm.

She opened her mouth to speak.

“Gu Changge, it seems that you have left the Upper Realm and found the Human Ancestor’s reincarnation?”

A stoic gaze swept over the magnificent buildings in front of her; it could be seen that their current location was within an Ancient City.

But in which realm?

Jiang Chuchu had no way of knowing that. Gu Changge had trapped her in his Inner World for so long that she didn’t even know how Gu Changge had arrived here, how many methods he’d arranged, and such.

These uncertainties made Jiang Chuchu feel even more uneasy.

As the saintess of the Human Ancestral Hall, she could foresee the Human Ancestor’s Reincarnation encountering a crisis at this time, but was unable to stop it from happening nonetheless.

This emotion, like a thorn, made her feel pain in between her eyebrows.

In the dark, there seemed to be a voice telling her to stop all this, to stop Gu Changge.

“I really don’t know how that Human Ancestral Hall has brainwashed you. Is it really worth it to offend me for this Human Ancestor of yours?”

Gu Changge merely glanced at her with a calm expression, before smiling casually, standing upon the pavilion with his hands behind his back.

His deep red cloak, blowing with a predatory aura, which was as deep as the boundless sea, made people palpitate.

Then, his hand slowly pointed to the territory in front of him.

It seems to gesture towards something.

“Have you seen it? This world is already under my firm control. You say, the Reincarnation of the Human Ancestor, can he escape my hands?”

The tone was confident, dripping with contempt.

He didn’t put the Human Ancestor’s Reincarnation in his eyes at all.

Hearing Gu Changge’s words, Jiang Chuchu’s face turned pale.

But she began to bare her fangs in the dark.

The faint wave of ancient runes, sweeping through her palms, turned into a strange breath and slowly dissipated into the void.

The only thing she could do now was to utilize the secret method of the Human Ancestral Hall, and allow the Human Ancestor’s Reincarnation to perceive her existence.

She believed that as long as his reincarnation had awakened even a little of his previous memories, he would quickly be able to identify and avoid this current dangerous situation.

More or less, it would be of help to the Human Ancestor’s Reincarnation.

“Okay, I’ve let you come out for a breather today, but the time is almost up. Otherwise, you might secretly do some tricks to sabotage my plan…”

At this time, Gu Changge didn’t seem to notice Jiang Chuchu’s movements and was still talking without care.

It’s just that the smile at the corner of his mouth seemed a little deeper than usual.

‘It seems that this fish has finally bitten the bait.’

Hearing that, Jiang Chuchu’s face whitened, and her movements in the dark turned stagnant.

There was no need to wait for her to speak.

Gu Changge waved his hand, and cracks appeared in the void in front of him again, as Jiang Chuchu’s figure disappeared, and she returned to the Inner World again.

She knew that resistance was useless.

And there was no option to resist.

Gu Changge’s true strength was no longer ‘just’ terrifying. It was truly monstrous. 

Jiang Chuchu’s perception had always been very accurate, so she could easily feel the desperation of being totally powerless.

The only thing she hoped now was that the fluctuation of the secret technique she just passed out will be noticed by the Ancestor’s Reincarnation.

It was an inheritance from people of the same Human Ancestral Hall, so no matter how far apart they were, he should be able to feel it.

“I wasted so many words, but it seems to be very effective.”

After throwing Jiang Chuchu back into the inner world, Gu Changge couldn’t help showing a look of interest.

During this period of time, his Cultivation Base had already broken through to the peak of the Sacred Realm. He also used his Destiny Points to exchange for sixty detached bones, including an entire dragon spine, skull, limbs and hands.

With all these means combined, even a Great Sacred Realm existence might not necessarily be his opponent.

Not to mention that he still possessed a bunch of hidden trump cards.

Jiang Chuchu was smart and naturally won’t do anything unnecessary.

On the other hand, when Gu Changge tried to shake her Dao Heart, he had already heard the system message saying…

The Favoured Son of Heaven, Jiang Yang’s, Fortune Value has been attenuated.

But then Jiang Chuchu’s reaction surprised him a bit.

“It seems that the reverence for the Human Ancestor is too deep-rooted…”

Gu Changge’s expression was strange.

This also confirmed his guess. Sure enough, the means of this Human Ancestral Hall were not too righteous.

“Now that the evidence is there, and the time is almost right, no matter how cautious Jiang Yang is, he will be fooled…”

Gu Changge laughed.

From the beginning, he planned to let Jiang Chuchu appear, so as to deceive Jiang Yang. However, he knew that Jiang Chuchu would definitely not agree to what he needed directly.

That’s why he thought of this way.

Jiang Chuchu will probably never imagine that her act of vigilance would actually trick Jiang Yang.

After that, Gu Changge followed the information he had obtained before and went to Yuhua Heavenly Pond.

He knew that this was something arranged by the Human Ancestor, but he simply didn’t care.

In addition to the Xianlun Sacred Land, the Yuhua Heavenly Pond was definitely one of the places Jiang Yang prepared.

He’d flee there upon encountering any danger.

So Gu Changge could just go there first and wait for him.

Yue Mingkong definitely won’t be able to kill Jiang Yang, but it should be no problem for her to seriously injure Jiang Yang.

In order to make Jiang Yang’s Fortune Value drop to the lowest value, Gu Changge needed to find a way to make the Favoured Daughter of Heaven, Yaoyao and Jiang Yang sever their relations.

In fact, the moment when he left Xianlun Sacred Land and said those words to Yaoyao, he was already making such plans.

[Xianlun Sacred Land]

Inside the cave, a meditating youth sensed strange fluctuations in the void.

Jiang Yang, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, suddenly awakened in a flash of light.

He looked at the letter on the stone table, and the corner of his mouth couldn’t help but show an indifferent smile.

“It turned out to be the Qi of Hall’s secret technique…”

“Are they finally here? It would’ve been better if they had shown their Qi earlier.”

He couldn’t have been more clear regarding the secret techniques of his Human Ancestral Hall.

Because no one knew about this kind of secret technique except the descendants of the Human Ancestral Hall. In the Tianchen Realm, this kind of Qi was no different from the best proof of one’s identity as a part of the Hall.

So this time… he had no more doubts.

As for why the other party didn’t show their Qi last time, Jiang Yang thought about it and felt that it was because they were too cautious.

This made him somewhat satisfied.

Afterwards, Jiang Yang gave a simple order, calling over the Supreme Elder Zhao, and while wearing a leisurely expression, went outside the Xianlun Sacred Land and rushed to the agreed destination.

Once the Human Ancestral Hall intervenes in the Tianchen Realm, the following proceedings will become much simpler.

Everything would be back under his control.

As for Gu Changge, who had been away from the Xianlun Sacred Land for several days, he did not really take it to heart. A death pit like the Yuhua Heavenly Pond was not easy to escape.

[At the same time, Xianlun Sacred Land’s Mountain Gate]

“Grandma, where exactly is the Yuhua Heavenly Pond? It’s been four days since Master left, yet there’s still no news of his return.”

A small figure with flawless and clear eyes revealed her unease.

Her black pupils shone like wet gemstones. 

It was Yaoyao.

And at this moment, she was looking outside with anticipation and worry, wishing for her master to come flying back through the skies. 

But for several days, there was no sign of him.

Although she felt that her master was extremely powerful and that it was unlikely that an accident would occur… who can truly predict the future?

Moreover, when her master had left that day, the words he spoke sounded suspiciously like the last words in an obituary.

“Yuhua Heavenly Pond… It seems to be a very dangerous place, even more terrifying than some Restricted Areas… But don’t worry, Yaoyao, your master is a person who can even destroy Divine Mountains at will, the danger of Yuhua Heavenly Pond is nothing to him. It’s as simple as walking on open land.”

Hearing this, Grandma Yinhua comforted her, but she was actually as worried as Yaoyao.

Even a Supreme Immortal should be cautious.

The dangers of Yuhua Heavenly Pond did not require any explanation.

Now that Gu Changge was not around, she and Yaoyao both understood in their hearts that Jiang Yang had been possessed by someone else, though they haven’t reached the point of tearing faces yet.

And ‘Jiang Yang’ also appeared beside the two from time to time, expressing his concern.

This made them even more uneasy.

The mysterious power in Yaoyao’s body was not under her control.

So if Jiang Yang really bore any ill will towards them, the two of them couldn’t resist at all.

“Grandma, do you think Jiang Yang deliberately told the Master about the Yuhua Heavenly Pond, just because he wanted to kill him there…”

Yaoyao spoke with an anxious expression, afraid for Gu Changge’s wellbeing. If the master was gone, what would she do in the future?

Could she really do as her Master told her? To go follow Jiang Yang and pretend that she didn’t know anything? To act oblivious and let him do whatever he wanted?

No. Never.

“If the Master has really met with an accident there… Yaoyao will not let that b*****d off…”

The soft muttering was accompanied by a flash of a peach blossom light between her eyebrows.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye.

Yuhua Heavenly Pond was as its name suggested.

A vast and boundless heavenly pond, located on the top of Ascension Mountain, covering a radius of nearly 8,000 miles.

And amidst those 8,000 miles were brilliant lights that casted magnificent shadows, layer upon layer, as many veils of mist lingered, causing it to appear ethereal and sacred.

Travelling down this sacred mountain, one could see all kinds of laws, veins, and divine patterns, as if a scene of birth from Primal Chaos, its wonders densely distributed in all directions of the mountain.

Towering and ancient, it gave people a sense of terrifying coercion.

In a deeper place, there were even Chaos Qi pervading the surroundings, like a part of Heaven.

It was rumoured that there was once an invincible creature that lived in this place, though it has since transcended the plane, ascending to the Upper Realm. Later generations even said that this creature had become immortal and that its power was immeasurable.

Under all these rumours, it was inevitable that Yuhua Heavenly Pond would turn into a myth itself.

What’s more, some people spun tales that the Yuhua Heavenly Pond contains unparalleled Immortal Qi, which could make people transcend and evolve.

In the long history of the Tianchen Realm, there were always cultivators with little longevity rushing here to go to Nirvana every year, intending to prolong their lifespan and live another life.

Of course, all the cultivators who’d come, no matter what their cultivation level, ended up vomiting blood outside the Yuhua Heavenly Pond, unable to even set a single foot inside.

Some people even say that there were ancient beings living in it, where a single word from them could break the sky, and a single line would tear apart the heavens.

“In the past few days, there have been nonstop earth-shattering movements in the Yuhua Heavenly Pond… accompanied by dazzling green clouds. What exactly has happened?”

“Could it be that there is an Immortal in the Yuhua Heavenly Pond? It’s a pity that our cultivation base is useless, and we can’t even get close.”

On the mountain far away from Yuhua Heavenly Pond, there were many cultivators and creatures from the Tian Domain gathering there.

They all looked at it in shock.

At the thick chaotic air that rolled past, accompanied by the dazzling green clouds, and the brilliance of the divine light that glimmered in the sky.

And though they were all far from the Pond, many of those present had made breakthroughs under the guidance of the reverberating Dao chants, their cultivation improving massively.

The cultivators who missed this opportunity could only cry as their guts turned green with remorse.

As such, in the past few days, the area around Yuhua Heavenly Pond has become very lively.

Boom!

Chariots, warships, and flying boats crossed over the horizon, causing a magnificent clamour.

Many powerful cultivators had arrived, but those without overwhelming strength could only stay on the outermost area, unable to get closer at all.

Some extremely prestigious forces had even brought along their Sacred-grade Artifacts, but in the end, they were still only able to take a few steps into the outermost region of the Yuhua Heavenly Pond.

Not to mention the occasional fluctuations that emerged from within its depths, which caused the blood of every cultivator to tumble as they almost vomited blood, resulting in serious injuries.

“These are strange happenings. It is said that even the Supreme Immortal of Xianlun Sacred Land has come. A few days ago, someone saw a golden divine light in the void, storming towards this place, as if a straight path had been slashed through Heaven and Earth…”

“What a terrifying method. To make a road appear directly, tearing everything apart, as it extends into the depths of the Heavenly Pond. Only the mysterious Immortal could have such power.”

“Really? It seems that what has appeared in Yuhua Heavenly Pond this time is not simple. Even the Supreme Immortal was disturbed…”

“Yeah, you can’t possibly miss such a sight.”

At that time, it seemed like an earth-shattering battle had broken out. The sound was so terrifying that all who heard it immediately felt weak and were on the verge of collapse.

A chorus of cultivators began discussing the big events that had transpired here these days.

In particular, the matter about the Supreme Immortal attracted countless people’s attention.

Boom!

However, just as all the cultivators were discussing, a wave of blood rushed from the depths of Yuhua Heavenly Pond, before suddenly piercing towards the sky!

It looked like a grave accident had occurred.

There were terrifying roars and sounds of slaughter abound, spreading millions of miles outside.

Everyone could now faintly see within that place shrouded in fog.

A figure shrouded in immortal divinity was fighting against an indistinct, but invincible existence, clad with terrifying momentum. A single gesture from either summoned laws and order, a wave or flick overturning a radius of ten thousand miles!

Afterwards, everyone’s eyes widened as they witnessed a shocking scene.

So shocking that their scalp felt numb.

Their blood almost solidified, as their souls trembled to the extreme.

A beam of blood light broke through the sky!

As the figure of the Supreme Immortal within the scene exploded into pieces, torn apart into dust!

The monstrous wave of blood loomed tall above all of existence.

“This……”

“Even the Supreme Immortal has fallen to it…”

“How is this possible……”

“This Yuhua Heavenly Pond is far too dangerous, even the Supreme Immortal has died! We need to leave, we can’t stay any longer…”

In response, everyone’s spirits were trembling, stricken by horror.

And soon, the news of the mysterious Supreme Immortal’s rush towards the Yuhua Heavenly Pond and then subsequent fall, caused a sensation throughout the entire Tian Domain.

Causing a turbulent wave of untold proportions.
