I Am the Fated Villain

Chapter 683: Cautious Lord of Hell, A game

So no cultivator would be that stupid unless it wasn’t necessary. Knowing the appearance of Gu Changge, the person in charge of the arena here personally came over and arranged the best private room for him, so that he could have an overview of everything in the arena.

In the private room, the brilliance was intertwined with the permeating fragrance of tea. Many beautiful maids came to serve tea and water, presenting all kinds of crystal clear spiritual fruit food. The big figures not far away also approached his seat intentionally or unintentionally, wanting to know the purpose of Gu Changge’s visit to the Battlefield of Hundred Realms.

Gu Changge’s every move had extraordinary significance in their eyes and needed to be carefully considered.

“When the time is up, the person in charge here will open the entrances on both sides of the arena, releasing the death row prisoners or criminals who would participate in the fight, letting them start fighting below.”

“Sometimes he will introduce the origins and general strength of the two fighters to the audience so that the audience can place bets, or some disciples of the Great sect will make an offer to directly buy those death row prisoners or criminals.”

“However, the main reason many people participate in the gladiatorial fights here is to gain points from the opponent.”

“Behind Vermillion Bird Region, Green Dragon Region, White Tiger Region… There is a points hall dedicated to exchanging points for various divine powers. Many ancient books and forbidden techniques that have been lost to the outside world can be found here. There are also scales and feathers from ancient times, so many cultivators will find a way to come here to try their luck, maybe they can exchange for a divine scripture or supreme law.”

In another elegant room that was draped in the immortal mist around the curtain to hide the surrounding vision. Gu Changge sat behind the curtain, holding a white jade teacup while gently blowing the hot air on the surface with an extremely leisurely expression as Qing’er explained to him while looking at the arena below.

She instructed the person in charge here to bring up the list of people who would participate in the death fight tonight. The War of the Hundred Realms had not yet begun. Therefore, even if many geniuses of Lower Realm showed up here, they would not participate in this fight, only experiencing the cruelty here in advance.

“Are the headquarters of Hell and Buddha really hidden here?” When Gu Changge heard what Qing’er said, he was thinking about other things in his mind.

His purpose in coming to the Battlefield of Hundred Realms was to find the headquarters of Hell and Buddha, so as to completely wipe them out. As for the results of these many Lower Realms, it was not in his consideration.

“My lord, the cultivators on the list are all those who will participate in the fighting tonight. Some are death row prisoners from the Vermillion Bird Region, and some are outsiders who came here for training.”

Soon, Qing’er received all the lists of the participants of the arena in the main city of Vermillion Bird Region. She presented this jade slip to Gu Changge.

The territory of the entire Battlefield of Hundred Realms was extremely vast, and cultivators were even more mixed. Although she was the eldest lady of the Wan Dao Business Alliance here, she couldn’t guarantee that the list in her hand was complete. So Gu Changge briefly glanced at it and then put it down.

Relying on this list alone was not enough for him to determine the location of Hell and Buddha, let alone find their contact point and then discover their headquarters. Such difficulty was tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

“Perhaps we need to change the method. If Hell and Buddha are smart, they should be vigilant about my intentions and not dare to leave a slightest clue. At this time, the deeper you dig, the less likely you will be able to find any clues.” Gu Changge frowned and suddenly thought of another possibility.

The rise of Spring Breeze Pavillion in recent years was like a prairie fire, which was unstoppable. Hell and Buddha, the two assassin organizations that have existed since ancient times had long regarded it as a thorn in their side and in their flesh, so they wished to get rid of it.

Thus they must have investigated the origin of the Spring Breeze Pavillion, and even tried to infiltrate people into it.

During this period of time, the Wan Dao Business Alliance had been closely connected with the Spring Breeze Pavillion, and the Master behind Hell and the Buddha was bound to connect the two. Behind the Wan Dao Business Alliance, there were many shadows of him.

“Actually, when I showed up here, Hell and Buddha already noticed it… An excessive investigation would be counterproductive, so it’s better to go with the flow and do the opposite.” Gu Changge shook his head lightly and sighed in his heart.

He thought of a loophole that he hadn’t noticed before, so he still thought things too simply.

After all, for many epochs, Hell and Buddha had been able to avoid the revenge of countless forces, so they naturally had their own way to survive. He underestimated these two forces too much. That was why he came to this place so recklessly but ignored their foundation of survival.

Take Hell as an example. It was said that there were ten halls in Hell, and each hall performed its own duties, in charge of the dark transactions from assassination in the Upper Realm.

Thirty million years ago, the Lord of the First Hall of Hell, that was, King Qin Guang, was attacked by a formidable enemy in Mount Yin, and he was seriously injured, leading to his death. Because of this incident, the first hall of Hell had almost fallen apart.

Even the high-level officials in charge of life and death, such as the Judges and the Black and White Impermanence were killed by the other halls of Hell. Because of this incident, the various sects in the Upper Realm discovered that the original Hell itself was not a solid entity, they had their own factions and were not united.

Of course, Gu Changge also found out about this matter in the Gu family classics. Later, it was said that the Lord of Hell re-established the rules and a palace. Even King Qin Guang was personally selected by him from among his disciples.

Now thirty million years had passed, and if the first hall of Hell had not changed hands, the cultivation base of King Qin Guang might have far surpassed that of ordinary Enlightened beings.

The masters of the other halls were even more unfathomable, let alone the Lord of Hell who had never changed positions.

“The Lord of Hell has lived for at least several epochs, and such a character is unlikely to act recklessly. Any little sign that will affect his plans will fall into his eyes.” Gu Changge put down the cup, feeling more interested for a moment.

He underestimated the Lord of Hell, and now the other party was probably already tightening his hand on the Battlefield of Hundred Realms. If he only followed the clues like this, it would be difficult to solve this matter before the wedding date.

“It just so happens that all the forces are guessing my intentions, so let’s play a game.” Gu Changge suddenly smiled slightly and looked at the arena.

The fences made of special divine gold on both sides were slowly being pulled up, and then the two figures, under the gaze of everyone, slowly walked onto the arena and began the next terrifying fight.

In the surrounding auditorium, all the cultivators were staring at the scene in front of them. Their eyes were either bloodthirsty, excited, or displaying anxiety and worry.

As the host in the arena announced the rules for everyone and the two people’s respective reasons for coming, the fight finally began. The gorgeous and eye-catching brilliance filled the air as the formation pattern spread like a restraint, sealing off the surrounding void all at once.

All kinds of terrifying killing moves criss-crossed, leaving a surging divine fire. There was also a sword energy splitting the air, blood mist filled the air, and the scene was incomparably horrifying. If it weren’t for the powerful formations engraved here, the shockwaves of fighting alone would be enough to destroy the space here.

It had to be said that the cultivators who dared to step into this arena were not ordinary people, at least in the same realm, it was difficult for them to find opponents. The two fought hundreds of times, moving back and forth and it was extremely tragic.

The body of one of them was torn apart as blood gushed out like a spring, but he still kept his face unchanged, fighting with his opponent. Such a shocking and tragic scene made many geniuses who came here for the first time tremble in their hearts, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.

In front of the arena, there were also people in charge behind the scenes of the arena placing bets. Piles of spiritual stones, divine medicines, and even secret techniques were bet, making the divine light shine brightly in all directions. The eyes of many cultivators’ turned red with incomparable eagerness.

The fight between two people in the arena was not only related to the life and death of the two, but to them, it was an indescribable and terrifying wealth.

“The strength of the two people in today’s match is so terrifying. In the past, they were all existences that suppressed the situation.”

“Could it be because of Young Master Changge, the master behind the arena arranged these powerhouses in advance?”

Looking at the horrific fighting in the arena, the brows of many big figures were slightly frowned. They were regular visitors here, and they were already used to this kind of fighting. But from their point of view, such a fight was supposed to happen in the end, yet they saw it in the first fight today.

This made them suddenly have some guesses in their hearts. Could it be that Gu Changge had come to the Battlefield of Hundred Realms to select death row prisoners?

“Is this the fight we will face next?” A group of people from the Qinghong Ancient World looked a little dull and couldn’t believe it when they watched the terrifying battle in the arena.

Many people even quietly swallowed their saliva to stabilize their minds. Under such a terrifying battle, they had no chance of surviving, let alone getting a good ranking and winning the World Luck.

This was simply unrealistic.

At this moment, they even thought about giving up and returning to their original world as soon as possible. The Upper Realm was too terrifying and cruel, and it didn’t belong to them, the frogs in the well.

“I just need this kind of training to become stronger.” However, compared to everyone’s fear, Lu Ming, who had recovered a lot from his injuries, was filled with fighting spirit as he clenched his fists.

He thought a lot. The reason why he was humiliated, belittled and slaughtered just now was because he was too weak. Faced with this opportunity to hone himself, how could he give up so easily?

“Junior Sister Xue Yan…” There were many thoughts in his mind, and Lu Ming couldn’t help turning his head to look at Xue Yan who still looked a little dazed beside him.

Since she was rescued just now, Junior Sister Xue Yan had been out of her mind and had a lot of things on her mind. Lu Ming knew that it was because of the big man named Gu Changge.

From the mouth of the Confucian shirt man, they already knew a lot about Gu Changge, and it was impossible for them not to be shocked. Until now, their scalp was still in a state of numbness.

Lu Ming also understood why those geniuses and domineering disciples of the ancient royal family had such an attitude in the end. Because such a character stood at the top of the Upper Realm, overlooking the Heavens of all ages.

One word could break the cycle of birth and death in all realms, and one word could change the entire Upper Realm. To put it bluntly, one thought of the other party was enough to destroy the Qinghong Ancient World behind them thousands of times.

And such a person happened to have an intersection with them, and even had a few words with Junior Sister Xue Yan. This was simply unimaginable, like a dreamlike thing.

One must know that before this, the man in the Confucian shirt had an indifferent and condescending attitude toward them. But now he was flattering Junior Sister Xue Yan to the extreme.

Those big figures in the Vermillion Bird Region also sent people to send a lot of good things to Junior Sister Xue Yan just now to display their kindness. The news of this place had been sent back to the station behind them. Their elders were also probably on their way here, feeling ecstatic.

“Brother Lu Ming, are you calling me?” The girl Xue Yan, who had been in a trance, heard Lu Ming’s voice at this time as she returned to her senses before looking at him and asked.

Until this moment, she still felt a little unreal. Even in the Qinghong Ancient World, she was the daughter of a sect master who was sought after by countless people. But she still felt that all of this was a dream and it was unbelievable.

“Junior sister, you…” Lu Ming was a little dazed, then a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he fell silent.

He originally wanted to say a lot, but for some reason he couldn’t say it all at once. It seemed that the junior sister in front of him had already separated an endless distance from him, and was no longer familiar with him.

“Miss Xue Yan, let me tell you, since that person has noticed you, you must find a way to contact him again, it will affect you, the sect behind you, and even the world you are in. There are endless benefits. You don’t even need to participate in this Battlefield of Hundred Realms, you can easily get World Luck…”

The man in the Confucian shirt didn’t notice the change in Lu Ming’s expression and he was still giving advice to Xue Yan with a flattering smile. However, upon hearing these words, Lu Ming couldn’t help clenching his fists under his sleeves.

What does he think Junior Sister Xue Yan was? Was he planning to let her approach that lord to please him?

Soon, the first fight in the arena was over, the winner lived and the loser died, and won all the points of the opponent. Behind the fence, another death row prisoner appeared, and the second fight began, and so on.

Gu Changge watched the fourth match all the time, and finally shook his head and left with some regrets. The people who had been paying attention to his actions were also shocked, thinking that Gu Changge should have come here to choose something.
