I Am the Fated Villain
Chapter 129

Chapter 129: Being Criticized; It’s Hard To Find Opportunities.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Chi Ling, Ye Ling and the others had also encountered trouble.

Not long after they entered the Ancient Immortal Continent. They encountered a powerful rhinoceros-like beast with a cultivation base in the True God Realm.

Although Chi Ling was a Young Supreme, her true strength was only at the early stage of the Conferred King Realm. She is only capable of fighting with someone in the False God Realm.

She will struggle if she encounters any True God Realm existence.

Even if she used some of her Artefacts, it’ll be difficult for her to kill them unless she uses some of her trump cards.

It’s just that… she can’t bear to use them.

After all, she didn’t know why she was so unlucky to have encountered a True God Realm beast as soon as she entered.

The rhinoceros-like beast, with a cultivation base in the middle stage of the True God Realm, was very powerful.

When it opened its mouth, it sent a huge burst of fire into the sky, a divine haze erupted and turned the surrounding area into a sea of fire, burning several members of the Vermillion Bird Clan to death, which caused the rest of them to turn pale with fear.

“Chi Ling, I’ll join forces with you. You hold it at bay, I will kill it.”

At this moment, among the followers, the disguised Ye Ling suddenly spoke up.

When he entered the Ancient Immortal Continent, he had been hinting at Chi Ling in various ways, trying to let her know that Gu Changge was not a good person and to stay away from him.

But Chi Ling thought that Ye Ling was biassed towards Gu Changge and didn’t want to understand or believe in him, so she stopped caring about it.

After all, Gu Changge’s disguise was simply too good.

He also had a deceptive appearance towards women.

Ye Ling couldn’t help but stand up for himself after he saw this scene.

He was confident since he had always been used to challenges, especially with all his powerful abilities and techniques.

This was also the time for him to show off to Chi Ling and the others.

When she heard Ye Ling’s words, Chi Ling looked over without saying a word.

“What are you saying? Do you want to make a spectacle of yourself at a time like this?”

“Even if you want to show off in front of the Holy Maiden, there is no need to bite more than you can chew, is there?”

The expressions of the rest of Chi Ling’s followers changed, and they all cursed in disbelief.

To them, Ye Ling’s actions looked as if he was showing off in front of Chi Ling.

It made them look weaker than Ye Ling, even when they had a higher Cultivation Base than him.

‘This Ye Ling is only a Conferred Lord Realm cultivator, does he want to die? He dares to strike at a ferocious beast in the True God Realm, even saying such words.’

“You just want to die, don’t you? How can you still want to show off at such a moment?”

The group of followers and the rest of the Female Young Supremes of the Vermilion Bird clan were disgusted by Ye Ling, and some even went as far as to mock him.

It was obvious that Ye Ling was already used to this form of mockery at the drop of a hat. After all, his Cultivation Base was only in the Conferred Lord Realm on the surface.

So naturally, everyone thought that his chances of winning against a True God Realm beast were slim.

However, they don’t know his other identity.

“Open your eyes wide and see clearly.”

“Today, you will learn a lot.”

Ye Ling rubbed his nose, like it couldn’t be helped, and then sneered.

He was ready to use a powerful technique to beat up this group of so-called Young Supremes, who were looking down on him.

With these words, Ye Ling was about to make his move, and his body glowed in black and white, with subtle fluctuations of powerful intent that could destroy everything.

“Ye Ling is actually very strong…?”

“I think that with Ye Ling’s help, our chances of killing the beast will be higher.”

Right then!

*Buzz!*

The void trembled!

There was a crystal clear and beautiful palm print that was even faster than Ye Ling’s speed as if it was made of Immortal stones.

The palm print broke through the void, and its divine power was so vast that it descended directly from the hill not far away.

With a loud bang, the True God Realm beast was severely wounded, its body split open and blood spurted out, as it was too frightened to react.

The tough scales were unable to withstand even a single blow and were torn apart like a ragged piece of cloth.

Hiss!

This scene immediately caused Chi Ling’s group to gasp for air and look at the hill not far away.

There, a powerful group of Young Supremes stood, all dressed in golden divine armour and mounted on various powerful ferocious beasts, resembling knights.

Their leader was a beautiful woman dressed in a golden robe, with her green hair fluttering, her deep eyes were cold and indifferent, giving her the impression of an Empress descending into the world!

“It’s her!”

“Yue Mingkong!”

“The future Emperor of the Supreme Immortal Dynasty!”

All the Young Supremes of the Vermilion Bird Clan were shocked and turned pale.

“The True God Realm beast that Miss was unable to deal with had ended up being seriously injured with just one strike in front of the future female Emperor.”

“So powerful! Simply terrifying!”

“So strong, she must be in the middle of the Conferred King Realm at least, otherwise there is absolutely no way she would have this kind of power…”

Chi Ling couldn’t help but be a bit shocked too.

She had just broken through the Conferred King Realm, even if she had broken through to the middle stage Conferred King Realm, she would not be able to do something like this.

Although she was also a Young Supreme, Yue Mingkong was indeed much more powerful than her.

After all, the Young Supremes are divided into upper, middle and lower levels.

For example, Chi Ling was only at the middle level, but Yue Mingkong was obviously at the upper level, or even higher.

“Yue Mingkong…” Ye Ling also froze for a moment before a flash of surprise passed through his eyes.

No matter how many times he saw this famous peerless beauty, he couldn’t help but be amazed.

She was very beautiful, very picturesque, very stunningly beautiful, like a perfect masterpiece made by the heavens.

He couldn’t help but feel his heart pounding, especially with the overwhelming aura that looked down on the world.

“What a blessing for that Gu Changge, what a shame…”

Ye Ling did not expect that as he was about to strike, Yue Mingkong would get one step ahead of him and seriously injure the ferocious beast.

At this moment, his heart was full of envy and jealousy, and also resentment.

He thought that the last time when Yue Mingkong had set up an ambush to kill him, it was all due to Gu Changge’s instructions.

Naturally, he added that to Gu Changge’s account.

Ye Ling was assured that his concealment skills were so good that it was impossible for Yue Mingkong to recognise him.

After all, not even Gu Changge had recognized him before…

“Thank you for helping us, Emperor Mingkong.”

In response, the Young Supremes of the Vermilion Bird clan spoke to the distant Yue Mingkong in gratitude.

Chi Ling also had a complex expression on her face and said with a bow of her hand, “Thank you, Emperor Mingkong, for your help!”

She knew that the reason Yue Mingkong helped them was most likely because of Gu Changge.

And it was not a friendly gesture of goodwill, but rather a demonstration for…

Asserting dominance!

[T/N: T-posing Mingkong]

The way she and Gu Changge had talked to each other in front of Yue Mingkong at the Supreme Peak and the fact that she demonstrated this strike was obviously related to it.

This made Chi Ling smile bitterly, unsure of how to explain it.

She clearly guessed the reason for Yue Mingkong’s attack.

On the mountain peak, Yue Mingkong swept a glance at Chi Ling, her expression was cold and indifferent, not saying a word.

Then she turned around and led her followers out of the area, heading deeper.

If she hadn’t seen Chi Ling around, she wouldn’t have bothered.

Although she knew that Chi Ling was just a pawn for Gu Changge to use, she still needed her to understand that… Gu Changge’s intentions were not to play with her.

Actually, it’s also for the good of Chi Ling, to not let her get too caught up in Gu Changge’s scheming tactics.

Moreover, Yue Mingkong didn’t notice Ye Ling, who was mixed with Chi Ling’s followers.

In her previous life, Ye Ling did not have to carry the black pot of being the Inheritor of Forbidden Demonic Arts and had come inside the Ancient Immortal Continent openly.

At that time, Ye Ling seemed to have gotten a lot of opportunities.

Apart from that, there was not much else she knew.

Of course, the main thing was how some of these Young Supremes could have gained some opportunities here, and she knew in her mind where and what they were.

Yue Mingkong was sure that this trip inside the Immortal Road would help her break through the False God Realm very quickly.

If she could seize the Fairy Spirit, it would not be impossible for her to break through the Saint Realm in one fell swoop.

This is because the Fairy Spirit is the origin of an Immortal, something that even the most powerful beings would be shocked by.

‘According to my previous life, the Ancient Immortal Continent will soon be in turmoil, with the Ancestral Tombs of some of the natives being destroyed…’

‘I didn’t think too deeply about it in my last life, but I think Gu Changge must have sneaked past.’

‘He possesses the Immortal Devouring Demonic Arts, and there are many bodies of Ancient Immortal Experts buried in the Ancestral Tombs. As long as their bodies have not yet decayed and there is some essence left, it can be devoured and absorbed by Gu Changge..’

‘This is simply a treasure box for him, and by the time he leaves the Ancient Immortal Continent, there’s no telling how high his cultivation will soar…’

‘Not to mention that Gu Changge is also eyeing the soon-to-be-born Fairy Spirit.’

Yue Mingkong rubbed her brow, feeling a sense of powerlessness and frustration. Even if she knew all this, she could not stop such things at all.

Gu Changge was truly too terrifying.

Whether it was his strength or his methods, all of them were seamless and flawless.

As someone who’d regressed, even if she had guessed what Gu Changge was going to do, she could not stop him. There was really no point in knowing what he’ll do.

Although Gu Changge had said a few days ago that he could not bear to kill her, to Yue Mingkong, who knew Gu Changge’s temperament so well, the credibility of such words was obviously only temporary.

Even if she had slept much more peacefully in the past few days than before…

But with Gu Changge by her side, staying alive is not an easy task.

Of course, the main reason was that the shadow Gu Changge had left on her in her previous life was too great.

Gu Changge’s ruthlessness and cruelty had not changed at all.

The reason for not killing her now, or even treating her nicely, is that she is useful to Gu Changge and can be exploited.

So Yue Mingkong still had to find ways to grow stronger.

“The trail of Xian’er has not changed much, she has offended the people from the Sea King Palace, and although she will be hunted, she will not be in danger, rather she will breakthrough in the battle.”

Yue Mingkong’s face remained unchanged, her mind racing with thoughts. After that, she took a large number of followers to the nearest location of an opportunity.

She remembered that in her previous life, a Young Supreme had found a fragment of an Emperor-grade Array here.

At this moment, Ye Ling, who was looking at Yue Mingkong, suddenly frowned as he sensed a battle at some distance

He turned his head to look and his expression changed as he saw a figure in a red dress being attacked there and was approaching in his direction.

“That’s Yin Mei…”

“Not good! She’s in danger.”

Seeing this, Ye Ling’s body moved without hesitation, turning into a divine light as he quickly raced in that direction.

To him, Yin Mei was not only the fiancée of Bai Lie but also a favourable witness to prove that he did not kill Bai Lie.

“Ye-“

Chi Ling frowned at this but didn’t care about Ye Ling. After all, even after coming inside Immortal Road as her follower, he didn’t follow any of her commands.

She didn’t care, but the rest of her followers were not happy and were extremely upset with Ye Ling.

He ran off on his own, and as a follower, he didn’t listen to Chi Ling’s orders.

“This guy is really strange. Did he just blend in with us to enter the Ancient Immortal Continent?” At this point, someone doubted and wondered.

“Perhaps he’s that hidden Forbidden Demonic Arts’ Inheritor who sneaked in and blended in with us…” Another person couldn’t help but say that, and many people shivered when he did so.

The recent incident of the Forbidden Demonic Arts’ Inheritor has caused a lot of chaos and panic.

The more they think about Ye Ling, the more they find him suspicious.

However, in Chi Ling’s mind, she was also a bit dissatisfied with Ye Ling’s behaviour… She was helping him out of the goodness of her heart, but he didn’t seem to have any self-awareness and took it for granted.

’It seems that Ye Ling’s temperament is really no match for Brother Changge…’ Chi Ling shook her head, not saying anything, but inevitably disappointed with Ye Ling.

On the other hand, Ye Ling watched as Yin Mei was fighting with a Young Supreme who shone with divine light. Mountains collapsed as the dust rose around them from the might of their techniques.

The scene was filled with brilliance, like heavy rain, with runes exploding and flooding every direction.

But Yin Mei seemed to be in a disadvantageous position, her face was haggard, and she was coughing blood.

Her followers were also tangled up with a ferocious beast, making it difficult for them to come to her aid.

“Yin Mei is in danger! I have to help her!”

Ye Ling didn’t hesitate. He had experienced a lot of such heroic rescues and was quite used to them.

He is familiar with it, so he naturally knew what to do next.

He brought out a crimson-coloured short sword.

*Crack!*

With a terrifying cracking sound, the short sword travelled at a great speed, piercing through the sky, bursting through the clouds and strucked the Young Supreme.

“Who is it?”

The Young Supreme was shining brightly, with a flame-like aura burning all over his body, and he was obviously a powerful man.

He sensed the extraordinary nature of the short sword and used a divine ability to deflect it.

He looked behind him at Ye Ling, who was racing towards him, and frowned.

For some reason, he had the feeling that Yin Mei was not using any powerful means as if she was showing weakness.

Seeing that another person had come to attack, he simply gave up and left without the Sword Grass, turning into divine light.

Yin Mei had a strange look in her eyes, but her face remained indifferent, and she said with some gratitude and curiosity, “Thank you for your help…”

The white handsome man in front of her should be the disguised Ye Ling, according to Gu Changge’s instructions.

‘After all, only someone like him, who is obsessed with women, would ignore the risk of exposure and come to the rescue of a beautiful woman.’

This made Yin Mei sneer in her heart.

Hearing Yin Mei’s words, Ye Ling also felt a bit hesitant about revealing his true identity at such a time.

If he chose to reveal his true identity, he would be in danger if Yin Mei had malicious intentions towards him.

That would be very dangerous for him.

But after thinking about it, he chose to trust Yin Mei’s character and said frankly, “Yin Mei, it is me, Ye Ling.”

“What?”

At these words, Yin Mei’s beautiful eyes immediately widened in shock and disbelief, and then she hurriedly said, ” Do you want to die? Why would you dare to come here and reveal your identity?”

“How can you be so stupid? What if I were to harm you?”

At this point, she looked even more anxious and was extremely worried about Ye Ling.

If Gu Changge was here, he would definitely not be able to help but praise her.

Her acting skills were worthy of the Holy Maiden of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Family. She can easily crush the so-called movie stars of Gu Changge’s previous life.

Whether it was her expressions or her words, there was not even a single flaw.

Ye Ling was completely charmed by her.

Seeing how worried and concerned Yin Mei looked, Ye Ling also felt touched.

There was still someone in the world who believed in him!

He had indeed been right about Yin Mei’s character.

At that moment, Ye Ling lowered his voice and said to Yin Mei, “Don’t worry, my concealment is very powerful. No one will be able to recognize me.”

At these words, Yin Mei also calmed down, but she still looked a bit worried.

“You are so bold to sneak in here, don’t you know that many cultivators are looking for you?”

“I was wrongly accused anyway. I’ll find a way to clear my name, and the Ancient Immortal Continent has something I want.” Ye Ling replied.

At these words, Yin Mei nodded her head.

“Yin Mei, do you not suspect that I killed Brother Bai Lie?” At this point, Ye Ling couldn’t help but ask, somewhat curious.

Yin Mei shook her head, then looked Ye Ling straight in the eyes and said, “I don’t suspect you. Although Bai Lie was very angry after you left that night, he was not so angry that he wanted to kill you.”

“He wouldn’t disregard the years of brotherhood between you two, not to mention my trust in you.”

“You wouldn’t do such a thing.”

Her tone was firm, without a trace of doubt.

Ye Ling didn’t expect Yin Mei to trust him so much, which made his heart incredibly touched after hearing it, nodding his head, “Don’t worry, I will definitely clear my name, and you should also be careful of Gu Changge. I suspect that he is the one who set me up…”

Yin Mei had already offended Gu Changge anyway.

Therefore, Ye Ling directly confessed these words and told Yin Mei to watch out for Gu Changge in the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace.

“What? How could it be Brother Gu?”

At these words, Yin Mei was shocked, then looked terrified and in disbelief.

But in her heart, she thought, ‘Young Master Gu was right, Ye Ling has a good head on his shoulders, but unfortunately this guy is still too ignorant’.

She shook her head in disbelief.

And soon, Ye Ling managed to show up in front of her followers as an “old friend” of Yin Mei.

The others who came with her were a bit shocked, but they didn’t have anything to say.

After that, because of Ye Ling, Chi Ling and Yin Mei also decided to work together and formed a team for the time being.

The group headed deeper into the Continent.

Ye Ling had a smile on his face.

He began to gradually unveil his powers and convinced the group of his worth. This went especially when they considered how he was the one lucky enough to come across a number of rare and divine medicines alongside other treasures.

Even some divine weapons buried in the earth were found by him.

“Old turtle, if we follow the direction you mentioned, will we really be able to find the Ancient Deity of Reincarnation’s Enlightenment Platform from back then?”

Ye Ling was asking the Old Turtle inside the pendant, confident that the team now had him as the backbone of the group.

“Don’t worry, that was specially left for you by the Ancient Deity, and there are also many treasures left for you there.”

The Old Turtle said to Ye Ling.

Hearing the reply, Ye Ling became even more excited.

His every move was being watched by Yin Mei, who was carefully leaving a trail for Gu Changge in the shadows, worried that Gu Changge might not be able to find her and Ye Ling.

After all, the Ancient Immortal Continent is incredibly vast.

So just in case, she had made a lot of preparations without being noticed.

Looking at the excited Ye Ling in front of her, Yin Mei’s eyes flashed with mockery, and she couldn’t help but laugh inwardly, ‘Not only are you carrying the black pot for master, but now you’re also helping him find more opportunities. It must be quite embarrassing to be you.’
