I Am the Fated Villain Chapter 729: Gu Xian’er’s conjecture: The reappearance of the inheritor of dark magic in the world.

Chapter 729: Gu Xian’er’s conjecture: The reappearance of the inheritor of dark magic in the world.

“Da Hong, can you explain what I just witnessed?”

Gu Xian’er finally emerged from the shadows after Lan Yifei’s disappearance, her face reflecting disbelief as she muttered to herself. If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed everything she had witnessed tonight. She initially thought that Lan Yifei was the mysterious and secretive inheritor of demonic arts, hidden deep within the shadows. Gu Xian’er even contemplated capturing him to clear the suspicion of everyone to him. But she never expected that Lan Yifei had his own challenges, as if controlled by an invisible force. He was not the true inheritor of demonic arts. Someone else was the genuine inheritor, concealed so deeply it was unimaginable.

“Silly girl, this matter is beyond your control,” the big red bird, unusually serious, remarked, albeit with a hint of mockery. It, too, had witnessed the entire event from start to finish. Even the enigmatic chosen one of the Dao Immortal Alliance was merely a pawn, and the background of the mastermind behind it was nothing short of terrifying. It was no longer something a young woman like Gu Xian’er could handle. It could incite deadly consequences.

“But… Why do I feel that I should know who is the inheritor of demonic arts?” Gu Xian’er was silent for a while, for some reason there was always a strange feeling in her heart. She couldn’t tell if it was guesswork or intuition. This extremely mysterious inheritor of demonic arts had never shown his true face in the upper realm, and no one even knew whether he was a man or a woman. Today, those Dao-Building ancestors of various forces had been showing up one after another, but the inheritor of demonic arts did not restrain his action any little bit. From this point, it was enough to see the arrogance and strength of the inheritor of demonic arts, and they did not take all the immortal forces of the upper realm in the eyes at all.

“Anyway, this is not something a little girl like you can manage. Find that elixir quickly, leave this place of right and wrong, someone will definitely find out about the fall of this ancient prodigy of Violet Sky Valley…” The big red bird hurriedly urged, worried that someone would come looking for Jin Yun by coincidence, and it and Gu Xian’er would be unable to explain clearly why they appeared here.. A young Supreme of the Immortal Sect fell and was deprived of his essence. If this matter got out, it would definitely cause great waves and sensations. “Now everyone thinks that Gu Changge is the real inheritor of demonic arts. This is good, his suspicion is cleared, and you don’t have to worry about it anymore.”

Perceiving Gu Xian’er’s continued silence, the Big Red Bird narrowed its eyes and prodded.

“Um?”

Hearing this, Gu Xian’er was momentarily stunned. The peculiar thought in her heart grew more pronounced. Did Gu Changge, in an unforeseen turn of events, benefit from this situation? Was it mere coincidence, or did he orchestrate everything under his control? She recalled Lan Yifei’s words, “The true inheritor of demonic arts… hearing their name will bring despair.” Who in the vast upper realm possessed such terrifying power and influence?

“If the image I saw before in the Lake of Death is genuine… impossible. I hope it’s just my speculation,” Gu Xian’er sighed, pushing aside her thoughts for now. She decided to prioritize finding the so-called elixir with the Big Red Bird.

Meanwhile, inside the ruins, as Jin Yun, the ancient freak of Violet Sky Valley, met his demise, an exclamation broke out among the waiting cultivators outside.

“Oh no… My lord’s life card was shattered,” he exclaimed, his voice trembling as if the sky had collapsed.

“What? Our lord’s life card was destroyed?” The others were dumbfounded, unable to fathom how Jin Yun, a prominent figure of his era, could meet his demise within this cave.

“It’s a disaster, a catastrophe… our lord has perished here, and none of us will survive,” someone muttered, their complexion ashen. A sense of impending doom loomed over them.

Jin Yun, a young supreme, had fallen in such an unexpected manner before everyone’s eyes. The shock and fear it instilled were palpable. Although the other young supremes present believed in their own strength, Jin Yun’s demise served as a stark reminder of the lurking danger posed by the inheritor of demonic arts.

As the news of Jin Yun’s death and the theft of his essence by the inheritor of demonic arts spread like wildfire, shockwaves rippled through the upper realm. All the cultivators who heard the news were left astounded. Figures like the Six Crown King Jun Yao, the Heavenly Phoenix Girl, and Jin Chan fell into somber silence. They had always considered themselves on par with Jin Yun, but now he had fallen before them. The fear of the inheritor of demonic arts gripped their hearts, making them realize that they were not invincible.

“The inheritor of demonic arts has reappeared, and they ruthlessly killed Violet Sky Valley’s ancient freak, Jin Yun, plundering his essence. This is incredibly audacious, especially considering Violet Sky Valley’s previous attempts to frame Young Master Changge as the inheritor of demonic arts. But who would have thought that the true inheritor of demonic arts would be so powerful and defiant, appearing at this time and delivering a resounding slap to Violet Sky Valley’s face.”

“Perhaps the inheritor of demonic arts disdains those immortal sects’ tricks and wants to prevent anyone else from simulating their identity, so they took this risk…”

The news sent shockwaves through the cultivator community, and discussions erupted everywhere. The actions of Violet Sky Valley and their accusations against Gu Changge had left a bitter taste in the mouths of many. They saw this event as a reckoning for those who had wronged Gu Changge.

However, outside Absolute Heavenly Extinction, Jiang Chuchu, the Holy Maiden of the Human Ancestor Hall, stood her ground, asserting herself with an unwavering tone. “Any faction that falsely accuses Gu Changge of being the inheritor of demonic arts will be considered an enemy of the Human Ancestor Hall.” While she maintained her cold and distant demeanor, her words carried undeniable authority, leaving those around her to lower their heads in submission.

Indeed, amid the tumultuous events, there were still numerous cultivators who, though initially stunned, eventually found their voices and voiced their concerns.

As the crisis unfolded from Absolute Heavenly Extinction, all the immortal sects present seemed to cast aside ordinary cultivators’ life and death.

In stark contrast, Jiang Chuchu and Gu Changge, the Holy Maiden of the Human Ancestor Hall, displayed a willingness to face great peril as they ventured deep into Absolute Heavenly Extinction. Their actions were driven by a profound sense of benevolence and righteousness, which stood in stark contrast to the actions of the immortal forces like the Endless Fire Kingdom, Heavenly Emperor Mountain, and Violet Sky Valley.

This posed a compelling question: What was the basis for these immortal forces to accuse Gu Changge of being the inheritor of demonic arts? It raised doubts about their virtues and capabilities, given their unwillingness to act in the face of danger while Jiang Chuchu and Gu Changge demonstrated exceptional courage and selflessness.

“The holy maiden speaks the truth. Gu Changge is a kind-hearted individual, incapable of being the inheritor of demonic arts. I would not believe it even if you threatened me with death.”

“These recent rumors are nothing more than baseless accusations by the Heavenly Emperor Mountain and the Endless Fire Nation, unsupported by any evidence.”

“They are merely envious of Gu Changge’s achievements and are attempting to tarnish his reputation with groundless allegations.”

These words poured forth from the cultivators, filled with righteous indignation. They chastised the Immortal Sects for their malicious actions.

Gu Changge, observing this spectacle with interest, refrained from intervening. He wore an amused expression and occasionally glanced at the Dao-Building ancestors of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain.

He knew the time frame had likely passed for the situation involving Lan Yifei of the Dao Immortal Alliance. It was now time to address the main purpose of his journey.

“Shut up!”

“Do you still dare to challenge the majesty of immortal sects?”

“Silence!” The Dao-Building ancestors of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain and the Endless Fire Nation finally snapped, unable to tolerate the mounting opposition.

Their voices resonated with a profound Dao rhythm, akin to the resounding beats of a massive drum, instilling an aura of dread and causing some to cough up blood or kneel in submission.

Even some of the elder supremes were taken aback by the overwhelming aura of these Dao-Building ancestors. They had been reminded of their insignificance.

“Whether Gu Changge is the inheritor of demonic arts is not a decision you can make.”

“If the Holy Maiden of the Human Ancestor Hall insists on supporting Gu Changge, then be ready to face opposition from the entire world. Demonic art inheritors are not welcome in the upper realm. If you want to implicate the Human Ancestor Hall, go ahead and try.”

The red-clothed old woman from the Endless Fire Country also had a very grim expression and spoke in a cold manner.

As Dao-Building experts, they held the highest positions in the upper realm. Even if the leaders and elders of immortal sects, they had to show them respect.

These ordinary cultivators daring to cause trouble in their presence was like asking for death.

While they feared Gu Changge’s strength and abilities, it didn’t mean they cared about these insignificant individuals.

Although Jiang Chuchu was the Holy Maiden of the Human Ancestor Hall, she was still a junior and could be easily dealt with one finger.

Boom!!

As soon as the words were spoken, they emanated a powerful aura that overwhelmed everyone, like a vast sea or a torrent of blinding light, capable of crushing everything in its path.

“Puff…”

Many ordinary cultivators couldn’t withstand this overwhelming aura. Some coughed up blood and retreated, while others had their legs give way, forcing them to kneel down in panic.

The fury of a Dao-Building being was indeed more than ordinary cultivators could bear. In the eyes of those ancestors from the Heavenly Emperor Mountain and the Endless Fire Kingdom who were in the Dao-Building realm, the rest of the cultivators were as insignificant as ants.

However, the majority of cultivators wisely chose not to get involved in this situation and simply observed from the sidelines. Offending Dao-Building beings at this moment would be detrimental to everyone, not worth the risk.

Whether Gu Changge was falsely accused of being the inheritor of demonic arts or not, many people knew that it was not a matter that could be resolved with a few words.

“Seniors, is it necessary to act this way? If you believe I’m the inheritor of demonic arts, then so be it.”

At this point, Gu Changge suddenly spoke, smiling faintly. He extended his hand towards the void and pressed lightly. A visible crack spread rapidly, as if the entire void was collapsing.

“You…”

Seeing this, the expressions of the Dao-Building ancestors from Heavenly Emperor Mountain and the Endless Fire Kingdom changed, and they dared not exert their dominance any further. The red-clad old woman’s face turned particularly ugly, still haunted by the memory of almost being crushed by Gu Changge’s subordinates.

“Thank you, Young Master Changge,” many cultivators expressed their gratitude as Gu Changge had relieved them from the oppression of those ancestors. In their hearts, they harbored even more resentment towards the immortal sects like Heavenly Emperor Mountain and etc..

In any case, what transpired here today would soon become public knowledge in the upper realm. The actions of immortal sects such as Heavenly Emperor Mountain, Violet Sky Valley, and Endless Fire Kingdom were sure to cause public outrage. These forces may be immortal level, but they were not without enemies.

“Please, there’s no need for formalities. This situation arose because of Changge, but it entangled all of you. I feel a sense of guilt for that,” Gu Changge said, waving his hand. He appeared easygoing and natural, exuding a welcoming and approachable aura even among ordinary cultivators. This made them feel a sense of reverence, as if Gu Changge possessed a truly magnanimous and unburdened spirit, not displaying any anger even in such a situation.

“Speaking of which, during my journey into the Absolute Heavenly Extinction, I discovered some clues regarding the eruption of the Absolute Heavenly Extinction. To resolve this scourge, we may need to address its root cause rather than merely containing its spread,” Gu Changge continued, seemingly recollecting the purpose of his mission. It appeared that he genuinely intended to solve the Absolute Heavenly Extinction scourge for the upper realm.

As everyone listened, their expressions turned more serious. They recognized the urgency of the situation; the Absolute Heavenly Extinction scourge was a looming threat, like a menacing mountain ready to descend upon them at any moment.

“Don’t be fooled by his pretenses of benevolence. Who knows what he’s planning? He might be luring us into Absolute Heavenly Extinction. Let’s not forget his true identity,” the red-clad old woman from the Endless Fire Country sneered, her voice not particularly loud but still audible to many.

She seemed to be insinuating that Gu Changge was indeed the inheritor of demonic arts, intending to manipulate the situation.

“Oh, my god, the real inheritor of demonic arts has appeared…”

“The ancient freak from Violet Sky Valley, Jin Yun, suffered a miserable fate at the hands of the inheritor of demonic arts. His essence was plundered, and he died a gruesome death in an immortal cave.

Just as the words of the red-clad old women had barely fallen, cries of shock suddenly erupted from the crowd in the distance. A Dao-Building ancestor of Violet Sky Valley wore a grim expression immediately, and the jade life card of Jin Yun in his hands was already covered in cracks and shattered into fine powder with a crisp sound all over the sky as the moment he just took out.

“Jin… Yun… has… fallen…”

He almost extruded each word one by one with a heavy tone, his expression so gloomy that it seemed as if a rainstorm would come soon. Jin Yun was a young supreme talent whom he had high hopes for, believing that with enough time, he could touch the threshold of the immortal realm. However, who could have known that just moments ago, Violet Sky Valley had sent word to him, delivering the news of Jin Yun’s demise. This was an unimaginable loss for Violet Sky Valley.

It should be noted that Jin Yun’s protector, who had also reached the quasi-emperor level, had similarly perished, as his life card shattered too.

“What… the inheritor of demonic arts had appeared again…”

At this moment, the expressions of the red-clad old woman and many other cultivators froze, as if they couldn’t believe their ears. Especially the red-clad old woman, her face bobbed up by the colors of blue and purple, seeming slapped by someone, looking extremely unsightly.
