I Am the Fated Villain

Chapter 730:

Even the powerful experts from Heavenly Emperor Mountain and Endless Fire Kingdom were stunned, their disbelief evident on their faces.

“It’s impossible…”

“That can’t be true.”

The red-clad ancestor from the Endless Fire Country wore a deeply gloomy and contorted expression. Her visage had become quite dark due to the turmoil within her. Her most cherished disciple had fallen victim to the murderous grasp of the alleged inheritor of demonic arts.

During the eruption of Absolute Heavenly Extinction, Gu Changge had been present, but he didn’t save her beloved disciple. This bitter memory fanned the flames of her hatred for Gu Changge, which burned nearly as fiercely as her detestation for the actual inheritors of demonic arts.

She couldn’t help but wonder: if he had come to his rescue at that critical moment, would her beloved disciple have met such a tragic fate? This line of thought drove her to cast all blame upon Gu Changge, labeling him as the inheritor of demonic arts.

But now, she heard the news of the inheritor of demonic arts emerging and slaying the ancient Violet Sky Valley freak. This turn of events left her shocked and seething with anger.

The Dao-Building ancestors from Heavenly Emperor Mountain were rendered speechless too. They hadn’t expected to hear such news at this moment, throwing into doubt the allegations that Gu Changge was the inheritor of demonic arts.

“Didn’t they claim that Gu Changge was the inheritor of demonic arts, and now he’s right here? How could he have possibly attacked the Violet Sky Valley’s ancient freak?” Many cultivators found the news incredible.

They wondered how he could have reached and harmed the Violet Sky Valley’s Jin Yun from such a distance, especially considering he lacked the necessary abilities.

Has Gu Changge created a clone?

However, only a few cultivators entertained such thoughts. Most reacted by showing amusement and ridiculing to Heavenly Emperor Mountain, Violet Valley, Endless Fire Kingdom, and others.

Moments ago, these immortal sects had insisted that Gu Changge was the inheritor of demonic arts, but now, news of the real inheritor of demonic arts emerging to kill a Violet Sky Valley’s ancient freak had shattered those claims.

This was a humiliating moment for Heavenly Emperor Mountain and the other immortal factions, a public slap in the face.

“The true inheritors of demonic arts had revealed themselves. It appears all of you immortal sects’ ancestors may have been pursuing the wrong path.”

“The incident site can’t be far from here. With your cultivation base of the Dao-Building realm, you should reach it soon.”

“When you capture the actual inheritor of demonic arts, I hope you will remember to clear my name.”

Gu Changge appeared to have just received the news. His face showed surprise, and he spoke with a hint of teasing.

“I hope that when the time comes, all the seniors can clarify things for the common people and offer an apology to Young Master Changge.”

Jiang Chuchu, the holy maiden of the Human Ancestor Hall, wore a cold expression and didn’t mince words. Despite being a junior, she showed no fear in front of these Dao-Building ancestors.

Hearing this, the Dao-Building ancestors from Heavenly Emperor Mountain and Violet Sky Valley frowned. They couldn’t find the right words to respond and felt a burning embarrassment, as if they had been slapped in front of everyone.

The Absolute Heavenly Extinction incident had greatly affected the minds of all Upper Realm factions. All eyes were now on them. After today, the rumors surrounding Gu Changge being the inheritor of demonic arts would likely fade away unless concrete evidence was presented.

“We shouldn’t rush to conclusions. Who knows if this is a trap set by Gu Changge to clear his name? What if he is the actual inheritor of demonic arts?” The red-clothed old woman from Endless Fire Nation, her complexion twisted, couldn’t accept the turn of events.

Many people frowned upon hearing her words, wondering if she had lost her mind by insisting on framing Gu Changge at this point. Several Dao-Building ancestors from Heavenly Emperor Mountain and Violet Sky Valley exchanged glances, expressing their helplessness, and took a few steps back, distancing themselves from the controversy.

“You court death! Accusing the young master repeatedly, today I’ll make an example of you.”

At that moment, a familiar, terrifying presence enveloped them all.

Ah Er, clad in a dark iron battle suit with a mask covering his face, appeared. His eyes were cold, his voice unfeeling as he pointed directly at the red-robed old woman from Endless Fire Country. With a simple move, his finger pierced through her forehead effortlessly.

Puff!!

A horrifying bloodied hole appeared, destroying her soul’s sanctuary, obliterating her cultivation base, leaving her unable to move.

“No… You can’t do this…”

She screamed in agony, her expression contorted with desperation.

“The true inheritor of demonic arts has resurfaced, perhaps in response to the rumors that have circulated recently.”

“It seems the inheritor of demonic arts was uncomfortable being wrongly accused, prompting them to step forward. They’re too bold and audacious, appearing at such a tumultuous time, unafraid of the world turning against them.”

“What an incredible guy the actual demonic arts inheritor is!!!.”

In the vicinity of Absolute Heavenly Extinction, a buzz of conversation swept through the gathered cultivators, and they were genuinely taken aback by the unfolding events.

By all logic, the inheritor of demonic arts had narrowly escaped Gu Changge’s relentless pursuit on numerous occasions. Normally, people would expect them to be sworn enemies. However, when Gu Changge was unjustly accused of being the inheritor of demonic arts, the true inheritor surprisingly emerged in a bold and high-profile manner to resolve Gu Changge’s predicaments.

Strangely, this action appeared almost noble in comparison. Even though they engaged in the contentious practice of siphoning the original essence of talented individuals, their approach seemed forthright and transparent. It contrasted sharply with the underhanded schemes and manipulations employed by various immortal sects.

Many seasoned cultivators couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration for this unorthodox approach.

As a result, the entire Upper Realm became embroiled in waves of commotion and discussion stemming from the events unfolding at Absolute Heavenly Extinction. News spread with incredible speed, as if it had sprouted wings. On every ancient live planet, innumerable cultivators engaged in fervent debates surrounding this extraordinary turn of events.
