I Am the Fated Villain Chapter 1095

Chapter 1095: Gu Xian’er’s strength, the tentative responses of all parties

Jiang Luoshen’s icy demeanor made many young supreme beings in front of her feel slightly uncomfortable and awkward. Even the Six Crown King Jun Yao and the Havenly Phoenix Maiden couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy. Considering what occurred in front of Absolute Heavenly Extinction, it’s clear that Gu Changge had no connection to the inheritor of demonic arts.Despite knowing that the rumors were deliberately spread by major sects to tarnish Gu Changge’s reputation, they chose to remain silent and observe.

“Until we capture the true inheritor of demonic art, we cannot jump to conclusions,” said Lan Yifei of the Dao Immortal Alliance, shaking his head slightly. His refined and affable demeanor was accompanied by a gentle smile. He exuded an aura of transcendence that was hard to ignore, as if his every breath and movement were merging with the entire world.

“Yes, I agree. Who knows if the attack on Violet Sky Valley’s Jin Yun was a ploy to confuse us by the true inheritor of demonic art?” Another voice chimed in, “Moreover, there are many secret technologies in this world, not to mention the mysterious forbidden demonic art. Who can truly ascertain that the one who killed Jin Yun is indeed the real inheritor of demonic art?”

“How could these two incidents be so coincidental, conveniently clearing Young Master Changge of suspicion?” Hearing Lan Yifei’s words, the young  leader of the Wan Bao Business Alliance, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly spoke up. He lightly waved his folding fan and his words carried a hint of amus.e.m.e.nt.

As the young leader of the Wan Bao Business Alliance, he possessed abundant resources and a formidable group of subordinates. Even in this gathering, his words held significant weight. With this statement, the expressions of many young supreme beings changed, and the Heavenly Phoenix Maiden’s eyes flashed with a crimson glow.

w.a.n.g Shun’s words were simple, they essentially informed everyone that Gu Changge still had lingering suspicions. After all, the timing of these two incidents was simply too coincidental.

But who dared to question Gu Changge? It was worth noting that not only the younger generation but even the older generation and most of the Dao-Building ancestors were cautious and remained silent about this matter. One of the Dao-Building ancestors  from the Endless Fire Nation had been struck down outside the Absolute Heavenly Extinction with a single palm, erasing the achievements of thousands of years of cultivation overnight.

This incident had caused a great uproar in the upper realms. But the Endless Fire Nation could only remain silent and dare not seek revenge for this Dao-Building ancestor.

Gu Changge’s power had become so terrifying that even the great Immortal Sects had to endure in silence in the face of such matters. How could a mere w.a.n.g Shun dare to speak such words?

“What are you saying?” Jiang Luoshen’s beautiful eyes narrowed suddenly, carrying a dangerous intent as she locked onto w.a.n.g Shun. A terrifying aura emanated from her, radiating a radiant golden light that distorted the surrounding s.p.a.ce. Witnessing this scene, many young supreme beings in the vicinity displayed expressions of unease. Even the Six Crown King felt a slight heaviness in his heart, not expecting Jiang Luoshen’s strength to have reached such a level.

“Princess Luoshen, there’s no need for this. Since Young Master Changge is not the inheritor of the demonic arts, why fear the criticisms of others?” w.a.n.g Shun smiled lightly, appearing playful as he raised an eyebrow at Jiang Luoshen. His tone was filled with curiosity as he continued, “Princess Luoshen, your behavior might actually play into the hands of those with ulterior motives. Young Master Changge sits upright and remains untroubled by such minor criticisms. Your perspective might be a bit too narrow.”

He truly lived up to his position as the young leader of the Wan Bao Business Alliance, displaying a deep understanding of human psychology. With just a few words, he managed to completely stymie Jiang Luoshen, causing her beautiful eyes to grow colder, and a murderous intent began to pervade her presence.

“Do you dare speak to me like this?” Her words were icy, and even in the face of the young leader of the Wan Bao Business Alliance, she showed no fear. Instead, she exuded an aura of superiority and authority, as if she could strike down w.a.n.g Shun at any moment.

Seeing this, the people in the courtyard all changed their expressions and began to move away, sensing that a major conflict might erupt here. The Heavenly Phoenix Maiden, the Six Crown King, and others furrowed their brows but remained silent.

Jiang Luoshen, as the princess of the Supreme G.o.d Clan, held a revered status, terrifying talent, and had even dared to confront Gu Changge in the past. Her strength was not to be underestimated, and bluntly put, she was more than capable of outs.h.i.+ning many of the current young talents in the upper realms.

“What’s the matter? Does Princess Luoshen intend to kill me?” w.a.n.g Shun still smiled faintly, seemingly unconcerned, as he exuded an air of confidence.

Both the Wan Dao Business Alliance and the Wan Bao Business Alliance were among the top merchant a.s.sociations in the upper realms, extending their influence across various worlds in the upper realms. Their usual interactions were fraught with conflicts and compet.i.tion, each hoping to supplant the other. Furthermore, Gu Changge himself had numerous connections with the Wan Dao Business Alliance.

w.a.n.g Shun had long known about the intentions of various immortal sects to take action against Gu Changge and their inclination to collaborate with the Wan Bao Business Alliance. This was why he now openly displayed his enmity towards Gu Changge. The two sides had long stood on opposing sides.

Jiang Luoshen had l.u.s.trous golden hair and a slender figure, with a face as beautiful as delicate marble. Her expression was cold and frosty as she said, “Do you dare say those words in front of Gu Changge?”

Her words left no room for mercy; she was essentially implying that w.a.n.g Shun only dared to criticize Gu Changge behind his back and lacked the courage to say it to his face. It was a humiliation aimed directly at w.a.n.g Shun.

Upon hearing this, w.a.n.g Shun’s face stiffened momentarily, showing a hint of discomfort. However, he quickly regained his composure and said casually, “I merely stated a fact. Princess Luoshen, if you find any fault in what I said, feel free to point it out.”

“Do you truly think I wouldn’t dare to kill you?” Jiang Luoshen’s eyes revealed an even stronger killing intent, with no attempt to hide it.

“You’re nothing more than a treacherous rat who can only backstab others in secret. I doubt you have the courage to appear in front of Gu Changge.”

At that moment, a clear and melodious voice came from the other side. A young woman in green attire appeared, her features exquisite and flawless, with eyebrows like distant mountains and eyes that shone with a subtle, translucent l.u.s.ter. She exuded an astonis.h.i.+ng ethereal aura, her beauty unrivaled, as if she were crafted by the hands of a divine creator, untouched by worldly impurities.

She walked gracefully from outside the courtyard, her figure slender, her skin as fair and delicate as snow. Perched on her shoulder was a large, listless big red bird with drooping eyelids.

It was none other than Gu Xian’er, the young princess of the Immortal Gu family. She had also arrived in the Divine City.

“This is… this is…!”

“She’s here too. Does that mean Young Master Changge is here as well?”

The appearance of Gu Xian’er instantly caused a great commotion and discussion in the area. Many cultivators were astonished, seemingly not expecting her to show up.

The Six Crown King, Heavenly Phoenix Maiden, Jin Chan, and others furrowed their brows and glanced behind Gu Xian’er, as if expecting Gu Changge to make an appearance.

Jiang Luoshen’s beautiful eyes briefly landed on Gu Xian’er, but she soon withdrew her gaze without any change in her demeanor. She naturally recognized Gu Xian’er, as they had crossed paths in the Supreme G.o.d’s Tomb. One of her clan’s junior members had been murdered by Gu Changge on the spot while attempting to s.n.a.t.c.h a treasure from Gu Xian’er.

Due to past conflicts, she had also become an enemy of Gu Changge, but she had been suppressed by him and forced to serve as a maid for a period of time. Even she hadn’t expected Gu Xian’er to appear in this place.

“Could it be that Gu Changge has also come…”

Jiang Luoshen turned her head and looked towards the courtyard’s entrance, but she didn’t see any sign of Gu Changge, which left her feeling slightly disappointed.

“Gu Xian’er…”

w.a.n.g Shun, too, recognized Gu Xian’er and knew her ident.i.ty, and his expression became quite unnatural. It wasn’t that he feared Gu Xian’er, but rather he was concerned about Gu Changge being behind her.

With so many powerful individuals gathered in the Divine City and various hidden aces revealing themselves, Gu Changge had yet to make an appearance. No one knew what he was up to.

“Don’t look; Gu Changge isn’t with me.”

“If you fear him so much, why criticize him behind his back?” Gu Xian’er remained calm, as if she had seen through w.a.n.g Shun’s thoughts with a single glance. Her indifferent demeanor, spoken in front of all the young supremes, was more humiliating than Jiang Luoshen’s words from earlier. Especially with her serene and ethereal presence, it was difficult to refute her.

“Gu Xian’er, do you think everyone fears you because of Gu Changge?”

w.a.n.g Shun’s complexion turned even uglier as he snapped his folding fan shut with a loud clap and asked in a deep voice.When Gu Xian’er heard these words, she merely gave him an indifferent glance, as if she couldn’t be bothered to engage in conversation. “I’m curious to see your abilities. This vast divine city isn’t something your Gu family can control single-handedly,” he added.

As the young leader of the Wan Bao Business Alliance, who in the younger generation would dare to insult and humiliate him like this, one after another, in front of everyone?

Today, he had been humiliated successively by Jiang Luoshen and Gu Xian’er in front of all the young supremes. If he continued to remain silent and endure, he might never be able to regain his face again.

Moreover, w.a.n.g Shun didn’t believe that, in a place where so many formidable figures from various immortal clans and backgrounds were gathered in the Divine City, Gu Changge would dare to act recklessly.

“In that case, you can give it a try.”

Gu Xian’er glanced at him indifferently, her demeanor still cold, showing no signs of being affected by external opinions. Although Gu Changge often bullied her, it didn’t mean she would allow others to slander or insult him in her presence.

“Very well.” w.a.n.g Shun smiled coldly.

Boom!!

In the next moment, a golden-red radiance burst into the sky, overwhelming the entire celestial dome. Various magical artifacts floated and swirled within the radiance, including a golden cauldron, a black Dao sword, a red sacred furnace, a purple-gold paG.o.da, and a pitch-black prayer bead, all emitting dazzling light, creating ripples that seemed capable of shattering everything.

w.a.n.g Shun truly lived up to his t.i.tle as the “Little Wan Bao Heavenly Monarch,” possessing an unimaginable array of magical artifacts. With his first move, he revealed his extravagant wealth and power. Each of the magical artifacts was intertwined with Dao marks, exuding immense power that even a Grand Sacred Realm cultivator would hesitate to confront.(Ed Note, Wan Bao means a lot of treasures in chinese.)

Gu Xian’er remained unfazed, merely issuing a light shout as her dainty fist, hidden beneath her sleeve, descended forcefully. A hazy golden radiance enveloped her fist, as though it was forged from immortal gold, and it struck in  a very simple and inelegant way, taking a stark contrast with her elegant temperament.

Boom!!

A terrifying shockwave spread out, and under Gu Xian’er’s punch, all the magical artifacts in front of her shattered and disintegrated. The Dao marks on them were erased, and if it weren’t for the protective formations in the Divine City, this place would have been torn apart.

Seeing this, the people in the courtyard were shocked and surprised, hastily retreating to the surroundings. Initially, they had expected Jiang Luoshen to take action against w.a.n.g Shun, but they never antic.i.p.ated Gu Xian’er to step in. Furthermore, n.o.body had expected Gu Xian’er’s strength to be so astonis.h.i.+ng, especially given her younger age compared to everyone present.

However, her formidable presence already had the Six Crown King and others frowning, perceiving her as a formidable opponent.

Soon, the two engaged in a fierce battle within the courtyard, with runes flas.h.i.+ng and brilliance dazzling. Intense fluctuations surged like raging waves, and although divine weapons were summoned one after another, Gu Xian’er quickly shattered them into fragments, dispersing them in all directions.

w.a.n.g Shun’s complexion was exceptionally grim, not expecting himself to be no match for this young girl. If it weren’t for his numerous magical artifacts, he feared he wouldn’t even be able to withstand a single strike from her.

Boom!!

In the next moment, radiant runes suddenly condensed behind Gu Xian’er, interweaving into a sea of purple-golden light, falling like a torrential thunderstorm.

She raised her delicate hand, and the boundless sea of thunder descended as though she controlled the tribulation of heaven itself, exuding an aura of destruction that was truly terrifying.

The faces of many young supremes present changed, and even the Six Crown King and others had their pupils contract.

“This is the long-lost Heavenly Thunder method…” Jin chan said with a serious expression.

“Not good……”

Watching this scene, w.a.n.g Shun’s face turned pale, and he realized it was too late to react. He could only summon a silver battle robe, trying to defend against it.

However, the falling thundersea had a terrifying impact within his area, causing devastating damage. His battle robe shattered and exploded, sending him tumbling backward, coughing up blood and covered in soot.

“So powerful.”

“She truly lives up to the name of the little princess of the Gu Family. Her aura reminds me of the young master Changge from back then.”

“I feel like she’s already on par with the Six Crown King and the others…”

The onlookers were astonished and filled with admiration, their reactions filled with shock. While they had known that Gu Xian’er had an extraordinary background and was deeply loved by Gu Changge, they had never seen her truly demonstrate her strength.

Lan Yifei, on the other hand, wore a contemplative expression. He had been observing Gu Xian’er’s demeanor from the beginning. Perhaps it was just his imagination, but he felt that Gu Xian’er had looked at him several times just now, as if she were trying to confirm something.

“You’re too weak… You don’t even qualify to catch Gu Changge’s eye.”

Gu Xian’er didn’t pay too much attention to her easy victory over w.a.n.g Shun. Her expression remained calm as she glanced at him, as if stating a simple fact.

“Don’t get too c.o.c.ky… If it comes down to a life-and-death battle, I have a hundred ways to kill you.”

w.a.n.g Shun’s face turned ugly as he struggled to get up from the ground. He was covered in soot, and blood continuously sprayed from his mouth. He hadn’t even summoned many of his forbidden weapons, fearing unexpected consequences. Deep down, he still didn’t want to become a deadly enemy of Gu Changge.

But he hadn’t expected Gu Xian’er to be this formidable.

“Kill me?” Gu Xian’er suddenly raised an eyebrow lightly, as if she was confirming something.

Buzz!!

But in the next moment, the void trembled lightly, and a gray-clothed old man suddenly appeared beside w.a.n.g Shun. He stared at Gu Xian’er expressionlessly, a flash of killing intent pa.s.sing through his eyes.

His aura was that of a quasi-emperor, unmistakable and overwhelming, as if he could crush the entire s.p.a.ce around him.

All the young supremes’ expressions changed dramatically, feeling a suffocating sensation, as if their physical bodies were about to collapse. Even though they had powerful guardians behind them, these guardians wouldn’t appear unless their lives were truly at stake.

They felt that this sudden appearance of a quasi-emperor expert wasn’t accidental. Perhaps it was a test from various immortal factions in the Divine City to gauge Gu Changge’s response. After all, the fluctuations caused by Gu Xian’er’s battle with w.a.n.g Shun were impossible to hide from the powerful individuals within the city.

“Young Master, calm down. The current Divine City can not be stirred by conflict. I hope you consider the bigger picture,” the gray-clothed old man said in a low voice, looking at w.a.n.g Shun’s disheveled appearance.

“But…” w.a.n.g Shun knew the ident.i.ty of the gray-clothed old man in front of him, but he was still extremely unwilling. He had lost face in front of everyone today.

“How can I swallow this anger?” He clenched his fists tightly.

“Small grievances must be set aside for greater plans. Young Master, you must understand…” the gray-clothed old man whispered, “Today’s events will be repaid in full in the future.”

“If you can’t swallow this anger, then let me help you with it,” a calm male voice suddenly sounded from the void outside the courtyard.

Immediately after, a gigantic golden hand descended from the sky, collapsing the void, and with a thud, it directly pressed down on w.a.n.g Shun.
