I Am the Fated Villain
Chapter 283

Chapter 283: Such Shamelessness, Worthy of the Scumbag like Gu Changge; Simply Too Excessive

The voice outside the cave was not unfamiliar to the two women.

They were momentarily surprised, but as soon as Jiang Chuchu recognized that it was Gu Changge, a hint of joy appeared on her face.

However, her expression quickly returned to calm, hiding any signs of abnormality.

“Why does Gu Changge know that I’m here with you?” Wang Zijin raised an eyebrow, slightly puzzled.

Their caves were close to each other, and it was no secret that she often visited Jiang Chuchu.

Did Gu Changge first go to visit her and came here after not being able to find her?

“Gu Changge is looking for you. Just see what he wants. Isn’t that simple?” Jiang Chuchu calmly replied.

Wang Zijin looked at her with a smile, and then her figure fluttered as she appeared outside the cave.

“Wang Zijin…”

Jiang Chuchu, who once calmed down, furrowed her brows. She originally didn’t care much about what those two had to talk about but she couldn’t calm herself down thinking Gu Changge was outside meeting with Wang Zijin right now.

So, with a slight, gentle movement her figure appeared at the cave entrance.

However, she didn’t show herself; she just watched Gu Changge standing outside in the serene bamboo forest.

He was still wearing that moon-white robe made from the silk of a Saint Realm silkworm. The simple ornaments accentuated his tall and noble figure, giving him a dignified and noble appearance as a jade.

In the distance, many Heavenly Daughters gazed at him curiously, wondering why Gu Changge had come here today.

“Saintess Zijin.”

Seeing Wang Zijin come out, Gu Changge greeted her naturally, his smile flawless.

“Why did Brother Gu come find me? Let me guess, you must have something to ask of me.”

“You’re not the kind of person to actively visit someone without a reason,” Wang Zijin said, she had no doubt about this.

“Saintess Zijin is saying as if I’m the kind of person who only comes to you when I have something to ask of you?”

Gu Changge shook his head, looking somewhat helpless.

“Aren’t you? You scumbag.”

Wang Zijin murmured softly, but the words were so light that they couldn’t be heard unless one listened carefully.

Gu Changge naturally heard those words.

However, he still acted as if he hadn’t heard and continued speaking, “Of course, I have to admit I did come to find Saintess Zijin this time because there is something I want to ask for your help with.”

Wang Zijin quietly rolled her eyes. She had to admit that she admired Gu Changge when it came to shamelessness.

Just a moment ago, he claimed not to be that kind of person.

But now he was here seeking her help.

However, she was already very familiar with Gu Changge’s personality, so she wasn’t surprised at all.

She just smiled and said, “Oh? I wonder what matter has brought Brother Gu here to seek me out?”

Gu Changge sighed, “If it weren’t for this matter being beyond my abilities, I wouldn’t trouble Saintess Zijin. Do you still remember when the assassins attacked you?”

The two figures walked away, side by side, while talking.

This scene made Jiang Chuchu’s delicate hands inside the cave tighten involuntarily, and her face turned slightly pale.

Wasn’t Wang Zijin the one persuading me that Gu Changge wasn’t a good person? Yet she willingly approached him?

“The person in the Great Sacred Realm?”

At Gu Changge’s words, her expression slightly changed. It was about the incident that happened at the Gu Family banquet, and she still held a grudge about it.

“Is this related to the Inheritor of the Forbidden Demonic Arts?”

She suddenly became interested.

Gu Changge nodded, “I recently discovered a few clues.”

“Please go ahead, Brother Gu.” Wang Zijin saw the seriousness in Gu Changge’s words, and her expression also became solemn.

“Does Saintess Zijin know about the Heart Seed Demonic Technique? It is a method used to control the minds of others through certain means,” Gu Changge said.

Wang Zijin nodded. She had heard of this method, whether in her past life or present.

So, Gu Changge’s words meant that he suspected someone in the True Immortal Academy had been controlled by the Inheritor of the Forbidden Demonic Arts?

“I’ve thought about this matter beforehand, and I believe it’s better to inform Saintess Zijin first, as you are more reliable,” Gu Changge added.

Wang Zijin didn’t doubt his statement. She sneered, “Well, thank you Brother Gu for thinking so highly of me.”

Gu Changge smiled, “I’m not familiar with the other disciples, and I can’t trust them either.”

Seeing him speak honestly, which was rare, Wang Zijin felt somewhat pleased and asked, “So, does Brother Gu have any suspicions?”

“Not yet.” Gu Changge shook his head, “But it’s better to be cautious about the other disciples.”

Wang Zijin nodded thoughtfully. In her opinion, Gu Changge must have discovered something, or else he wouldn’t say this.

But the fact that he came to remind her to be cautious first surprised Wang Zijin. This person with a heart of stone finally showed some initiative in caring for others?

Seeing Wang Zijin’s expression, Gu Changge also had a smile in his heart. He had already achieved his goal.

Saying these words was not only for the purpose of calculating Purple Palace’s Heavenly Emperor but also a logical continuation.

After all, Wang Zijin was the descendant of the Human Ancestral Hall, and she was the one among the younger generation who had more weight in her words besides him.

By saying this first, it served as a preventive measure. As a transmigrator, her ability to speculate was naturally more terrifying than others.

Back when they were at the Gu family, Gu Changge would have had much more trouble shifting the blame onto Ying Shuang without her reverse speculation.

Later on, they discussed some matters, and Gu Changge escorted her back to Jiang Chuchu’s cave dwelling. However, he did not intend to bid farewell and leave immediately.

“Brother Gu, won’t you come in and have a seat?”

Wang Zijin stared at him and asked with great interest.

“Isn’t Saintess Chuchu in there?” Gu Changge asked in surprise.

“At this time, of course, she is,” Wang Zijin smiled.

“In that case, I’ll come and visit Saintess Zijin another day when I have the time.”

Gu Changge shook his head and didn’t linger for too long. He turned into a divine rainbow and left the place.

[Inside the cave dwelling.]

On a crystal-clear jade bed over ten feet long, Jiang Chuchu was sitting in meditation. She was cultivating, but she could still hear the voices from outside very clearly.

Especially the conversation between Gu Changge and Wang Zijin; she listened to everything without missing a single word.

“So you knew I was inside the cave dwelling, and that’s why you didn’t plan to come in and sit?”

Upon hearing these words, a trace of sadness and sorrow couldn’t help but flicker in her eyes.

In the beginning, she had such icy hostility towards Gu Changge, not wanting to see his detestable face at all.

But now, it was Gu Changge who didn’t want to see her, behaving as if she were a venomous snake or scorpion.

This made Jiang Chuchu feel deeply upset.

And in the blink of an eye, several days passed, and the Inheritor of the Forbidden Demonic Arts began to quiet down, and everything returned to calm.

It was less than seven days away from the first trial of the True Immortal Academy.

Whether it was the Ranked disciples or the Outer disciples, they were all diligently cultivating. Every day, they either listened to the teachings of the elders, observed the supreme inscriptions, or comprehended the scriptures of the Quasi-Emperor.

In terms of cultivation, progress naturally soared.

Boom!!

At this moment, in a palace area deep within a series of connected buildings, a magnificent aura soared into the sky with surging Qi and Vitality. Soon after, a terrifying golden figure appeared, like an ancient deity who had existed since the creation of heaven and earth.

This aura was incredibly vast and surging, covering the sky like a golden sun shining in all directions.

For a while, many disciples and Elders of the True Immortal Academy were shaken and looked with immense astonishment at that area.

On a divine mountain enveloped in crimson radiance, the Heavenly Phoenix Maiden appeared and gazed into the distance, furrowing her brows. “Why is the Heavenly Emperor’s son making such a high-profile appearance?”

More Young Supremes figures flickered and appeared in mid-air, staring intently at the place, their hearts unable to calm down for a long time.

“This is the aura of the Divine Prince. It is said that he is cultivating an Ancient Technique. Could it be that he has succeeded?”

“This aura seems to have surpassed the level of a Saint. It’s truly terrifying. He truly lives up to the name of an Ancient Freak with the bloodline of the gods flowing within him!”

“I heard that the Divine Prince has gained the favour of an incredible ancient being, who intends to protect him. That ancient being is said to have surpassed the realm of the Supreme and can be called an Emperor!”

“Gasp! Then, even if there is no Dao Enlightenment, he’ll at least reach Quasi-Emperor. This is too horrifying. The True Immortal Academy actually harbours such an old monster.”

At this moment, many disciples were shocked and recalled recent news, looking in that direction with astonishment.

This phenomenon lasted for a long time before slowly dissipating.

— — —

Inside a bronze palace covered in rust and mottled marks…

“Divine Prince, you are not my opponent.”

A blurry-faced man in grey clothes noticed this scene and gently shook his head. “In this life, my opponent is only Gu Changge.”

“I hope this trial will bring me some surprises.”

Crash!

As he spoke, blurry and vast illusory worlds emerged behind him, with majestic mountains and boundless celestial trees.

Among them was a towering giant tree that spanned the four corners of the heavens and earth, adorned with the sun, moon, stars, and the essence of chaos, resonating with a rumbling sound.

Meanwhile, on the other side, within a tall and ancient pavilion.

A man with an ordinary appearance, nothing remarkable about him, stood dumbfounded, unbelievably looking at the numerous scrolls before him.

“The era I once belonged to is buried in the river of time, known as the Forbidden Era by the world.”

“No one can find its name across multiple worlds, and no one dares to mention it… No one knows what happened back then…”

“The destruction of countless realms, the collapse of ancient times, the shattering of the Great Dao, the annihilation of Laws… Why did this happen? Why…?”

The man was Qin Wuyan, who emerged from the mysterious stone. Over the past few days, he had been approached by several Elders who inquired and learned many things from him.

He had already figured out a way to handle it. Without exposing his identity, he managed to bluff his way through without arousing any suspicion.

Subsequently, he requested access to relevant scrolls to learn about many things in this era, and the elders agreed to his request.

However, Qin Wuyan, after perusing numerous ancient scrolls, failed to find any records pertaining to the era he came from.

Whenever there was the slightest mention of it, an unfathomable and terrifying power would descend upon the heavens and earth, erasing and annihilating any trace of it, sending shivers down one’s spine and causing a chill to run through their entire body.

He initially thought he had only appeared a few hundred years later.

That his master, fellow disciples, junior siblings and the whole Sect were still there, waiting for his return.

But he never expected that his one wrong step would delay his return for countless years.

Only later, with the help of the white-robed girl named Xingzu, did he come to understand fragments of information.

This revelation struck him like a thunderbolt, leaving him stunned and unable to react for a long time, completely unable to believe it.

“What exactly happened back then? Everything has turned out like this, and even the number of eras that have passed since then remains unknown…”

Qin Wuyan’s lips curled with bitterness. He felt like the heavens were toying with him, giving him the opportunity to ascend to the Nine Heavens and achieve what countless cultivators dreamed of.

But in the end, it all felt like a fleeting dream, becoming nothing but an illusory fantasy.

“I will definitely uncover the truth of what happened back then and find my sect, my master…”

“If they’re no longer here, then I will seek vengeance for them!”

However, soon after, Qin Wuyan snapped out of this blow and regained his composure, his fists clenched.

He had the confidence to do so.

Moreover, the three hundred years of cultivation in the Nine Heavens had elevated his state of mind far beyond that of an ordinary person.

Therefore, he quickly calmed down, understanding what he needed to do next.

Those truths needed to be unearthed by him, and he would seek vengeance!

Subsequently, Qin Wuyan stood up and left the ancient pavilion, seeking to familiarise himself with the current era, this incredibly splendid golden age.

However, not long after leaving the place, Qin Wuyan witnessed a brilliant glow ahead, amidst the mountains one after another, and saw a man in purple robes who appeared to be immensely shocked, excited, and thrilled.

It seemed like the man had been waiting for him all along.

For some reason, he felt a hint of familiarity in this man in purple robes.

“Who are you?”

Qin Wuyan furrowed his brows and took the initiative to ask. During this period of time, he had already learned the language of this era and could communicate without any difficulty.

Subconsciously, he regarded the other person as one of those Young Supremes who came to provoke and make a name for themselves.

“Se… Senior Brother…”

However, those words caused Qin Wuyan’s entire body to tremble. His eyes widened in disbelief.

Someone addressing him as Senior Brother…

How long had it been since he last heard it?

Apart from when he was in the Endless Dao Sect, who else would address him like this? In this life, no one knew his identity, and he had never mentioned it to anyone.

‘Could he be…’

At this thought, Qin Wuyan became excited, overwhelmed with emotion, and somewhat incredulous. He was afraid that all of this was just his illusion.

“It’s… It’s you… Senior Brother, I am Ayang!”

The voice of Young Supreme quivered like never before, filled with excitement, astonishment, and shock to the extreme.

He truly hadn’t expected this person to be his lost Senior Brother. That face was so familiar.

Even after such a long time, nothing has changed.

Their Senior Brother from the Endless Dao Sect, Qin Wuyan, unexpectedly appeared in this world again and in such a manner.

“Ayang… You are actually Ayang…”

“I truly never expected that I could see you again!”

At this moment, Qin Wuyan could no longer contain himself. His eyes almost turned red as he strode forward and tightly held his Junior Brother, examining him from top to bottom.

Ziyang, his Junior Brother who had a bit of mischief in him but had a good nature, always admired their Junior Sister.

“Junior Brother, what exactly happened back then? What about our Sect, our Master and our fellow disciples?”

Following that, they engaged in a conversation filled with reunion and excitement. The two gradually calmed down.

Having confirmed each other’s identities, their hearts surged with excitement and immense joy.

Qin Wuyan asked the question he was most concerned about.

However, upon hearing this question, Ziyang Tianjun’s expression changed dramatically. He appeared somewhat pale and hurriedly said, “Senior Brother, please be cautious. There are some things that cannot be spoken of, not even written down or conveyed…”

Upon hearing this, Qin Wuyan fell into silence, recalling the ancient texts he had previously explored, which seemed to hint at the same thing.

Within ancient history, there were terrifying things!

Some things were called taboos, which meant they couldn’t even be mentioned.

“But Senior Brother, please rest assured. As long as we don’t mention that particular matter, I can tell you everything else.”

Then, Ziyang Tianjun breathed a sigh of relief and continued speaking.

“From what I currently understand, besides me successfully reincarnating, our Junior Sister has also reincarnated successfully. As for our Master and Senior Sister, if nothing unexpected has occurred, they should be the same…”

“So, Senior Brother, you don’t have to worry too much. We will all surely reunite again.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Wuyan also breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile once again appeared on his face.

“You said Junior Sister has also reincarnated? Where is she now? Why haven’t I seen her?” he asked.

“Well…”

Ziyang Tianjun became a bit speechless at this moment and carefully considered his words. “Junior Sister’s current situation seems a bit unusual. She hasn’t regained her memories of the past yet.”

“She hasn’t regained her memories?”

Qin Wuyan paused momentarily, then smiled and said, “It’s alright. We’ll wait for her to recover her memories, or we can help her.”

“With Senior Brother saying that, I feel relieved.”

Ziyang Tianjun also let out a sigh of relief.

Boom!

“Hmm? What’s that sound?”

Suddenly, Qin Wuyan furrowed his brows, sensing a tremendous commotion not far away. Accompanied by screams of agony, the mountains shook, and even the nearby peaks trembled.

“Not good!”

“Somebody is attacking my subordinates!”

Ziyang Tianjun’s expression also changed abruptly, appearing grim. He could discern that it was the screams of his followers.

Previously, to prevent anyone from disturbing him, he had instructed his followers to guard the surroundings and prevent anyone from trespassing.

“Who is so arrogant and overbearing?”

Qin Wuyan’s brows furrowed even tighter, and his figure flashed, appearing in the sky.

Not far away, he saw a young man with indifferent features standing with his hands behind his back, looking down from a high vantage point like a young emperor.

Behind him, a large group of followers followed suit, majestic and imposing, exuding a formidable aura.

“Make Ziyang Tianjun come out!”

Accompanying these words, he extended his palm, surrounded by a five-coloured divine light and obscured runes. It was immense and overwhelming, akin to a divine palm.

A golden palm emerged and descended within the heavens and earth.

Gigantic and filled with immense power, it was terrifying, making one’s heart tremble and difficult to resist!

Boom!

Mountain ranges below directly collapsed, turning into ashes!

These followers of Ziyang Tianjun were geniuses and prodigies from various realms, possessing formidable strength capable of dominating a region.

Yet now, they were filled with fear and despair!

Puff! Puff! Puff!

One after another, desperately resisting, their life-saving treasures exploded without the slightest power to resist. The gap in strength was too vast, rendering them as weak as ants.

Subsequently, their bodies turned into a mist of blood, their divine souls wrapped and escaped, leaving a deathly silence all around!

“Damn it! Gu Changge is so arrogant and domineering! He has gone too far!”

“I have no grudges with him!” At this moment, Ziyang Tianjun’s expression appeared extremely gloomy.
