I Am the Fated Villain
chapter-469

Outside the ancient battlefield, mist shrouded the area.As the terrifying breaths were heard, it caused everyone’s hearts to palpitate as they trembled.

The Sky Deer Goddess was dressed in white and her silky smooth hair shone with luster, but when she made her move, she did not have any mercy or hesitance.

*Swish!* As her sword energy rained down on her opponent, with a controlled force that would not endanger their life. It was enough to cause Chen Suyun to grunt and cough up blood. Every technique that she used resulted in an explosion. Even someone in the Quasi-Nirvana Realm, who had spent their whole life cultivating, showed signs of breaking apart.

Since there was such a large gap between them, there was no suspense to be expected in this battle.

Outside the battlefield were all of the disciples as they looked at the scene with shock followed by anger. They never expected that their Eldest Senior Sister would lose the battle so quickly, likewise, they never thought that despite the Sky Deer Goddess’s saintly appearance, she was so ruthless.

Had it been someone else battling against the Sky Deer Goddess, the person would have been blown into pieces.

There was no stopping the Sky Deer Goddess unless the Mountain Elders stepped in to mediate.

The Mountain Elders furrowed their brows, but they remained silent as they turned to look at Gu Changge, who was on the other side. They couldn’t guess his identity, which was why they dare not offend both the Sky Deer Goddess and Gu Changge.

Even though Chen Suyun was a disciple of the Nine Great Mountains, they also couldn’t intervene because this involved their personal grievances.

“Stop it! Sky Deer Goddess, as the guardian of Sky Deer City, you are so ruthless that you don’t even consider the relationship that former sect members have. Even though Eldest Senior Sister has wronged you, it has been so many years. She’s already lost. She has already suffered severe injuries. There’s nothing in this world that can’t be discussed. Sky Deer Goddess, since you are from the same sect as Eldest Senior Sister, can’t you be a bit more magnanimous?”

At the same time, Xiao Yang cried out as he saw Chen Suyun’s injuries getting more severe. His eyes reddened as he eventually stood up. As he frowned, he turned to Sky Deer Goddess, who was about to make her next move.

He knew that Chen Suyun had wronged her and that her past actions were not justifiable, but Chen Suyun was still his Eldest Senior Sister. There was no way he could watch her being tortured like this.

“Eldest Senior Sister isn’t even the Sky Deer Goddess’ opponent. She’s being too much of a bully by tormenting Eldest Senior Sister just because she is stronger in cultivation…”

“That’s right; by coming to the Nine Great Mountains and bullying others, it’s obvious that she doesn’t respect us.”

“I’m not sure how our Mountain Elders feel about allowing someone like the Sky Deer Goddess to disrespect the Nine Great Mountain like this.”

When they heard what Xiao Yang said, many disciples expressed their anger.

Many disciples were in awe of Chen Suyun, and looked up to her. Now that she was in such a miserable state, they couldn’t bear such a sight.

While on the Golden Rune, Gu Changge watched the battle with great interest but had no intention of getting involved. Judging from the Sky Deer Goddess’ capabilities, it would be easy for her to resolve her grievances.

The same could not be said for Xiao Yang’s attitude, which caused Gu Changge to narrow his eyes. It was the typical behavior of a Fortuitous One, thinking that they were at the center of the world and perfect in the eyes of others.

[A nice description of such behavior is that he lacks an understanding of the times, while a more negative description is that he is just a plain hypocrite. Still, that kind of personality is the easiest to manipulate.]

“What a foolish person.” Gu Wudi coldly laughed in his attire as he looked at the crowd. Then, his gaze fell on Gu Changge, who had a calm and indifferent expression, which frightened Gu Wudi.

He knew that Gu Changge’s purpose for coming to Nine Great Mountains was not to assist the Sky Deer Goddess in her quest for revenge but rather to destroy this place. [Those fools. They think that they are clever, but they don’t know their peace will be short-lived.]

“And you are advising me to be magnanimous?”

At this moment, it was as though the Sky Deer Goddess had finally heard Xiao Yang. There was a slight smile on her immaculate face as she stopped and turned to face him to respond, “It looks like you know what she did back then?”

He didn’t know why, but he hated that smile of hers. It was as if she was mocking him, but he frowned. Then, he solemnly answered, “Even if I know, so what? Aren’t you alive and well now? Don’t tell me you really want to kill your own Senior Sister?”

In his eyes, what happened in the past had already happened. Chen Suyun had wronged Sky Deer Goddess, but she was still their Senior Sister. Moreover, since she regretted her actions back then, she should be given a chance to repent and turn over a new leaf.

“Oh, yeah? What can you do if I were to kill her?” Sky Deer Goddess laughed with a voice that left others breathless.

“You…” Xiao Yang had a cold expression and was about to speak.

Chen Suyun, who was covered in blood, swallowed a few pills. After which, she radiated with a divine glow as she began to recover from her injuries. She waved and said, “Junior Brother, you don’t need to worry about me. This grudge is between the two of us, and she doesn’t intend to forgive me. It can be considered as my punishment.”

“If I were to forgive you, who is going to avenge Master?” The Sky Deer Goddess still had a faint smile, which made it difficult for people to guess her true emotions.

Chen Suyun looked ashamed as she answered, “I didn’t intend to harm Master back then…”

“But Master is already dead. I promised her that I would protect Sky Deer City well and let go of my grudge against you. I’ve kept my promise, but I can’t let go of Master’s hatred…” Sky Deer Goddess shook her head and maintained her expression.

Chen Suyun was stunned when she heard that but continued speaking with a bitter smile. “I’ve wronged both Master and you. Make your move. If this can settle the grudges between us, consider it a relief for the both of us. I can understand if you can’t forgive me since I was jealous of you… and how Master always dotes on you”

“Does it even matter now for you to say all of this?” The Sky Deer Goddess shook her head with a hint of mockery. She knew her Senior Sister well. Such words were merely mentioned to soften her stance, which the Sky Deer Goddess believe it to be a smart move. Had Chen Suyun wanted to repent for her actions, she would have left the Nine Great Mountains to pay her last respects to their Master.

*Buzz!* Once again, the sword energy appeared again. It fell on Chen Suyun, which caused her to experience the kind of pain that the Sky Deer Goddess felt before. However, she could not feel the emotions that Sky Deer Goddess felt back then.

Chen Suyun continued to groan as she intended to grit her teeth and endure the pain, but as time passed, she could no longer bite the bullet and took out her Quasi-Nirvana Grade Artifact.

As she faced the sword energy that Sky Deer Goddess casually unleashed, Chen Suyun’s Quasi-Nirvana Grade Artifact could not withstand the blow and soon exploded into numerous pieces.

The disciples outside the battlefield were filled with exasperation, anger, and worry when they saw such a scene. They had already guessed who was in the wrong back then during their earlier conversation.

Just as Xiao Yang had said, it had been so many years since the incident, so why couldn’t the Sky Deer Goddess allow Chen Suyun to repent?

They couldn’t help but connect the Sky Deer Goddess’ behavior to the rumored guardian of Sky Deer City. Now, even a Quasi-Nirvana Grade Artifact had been destroyed, so it was only a matter of time before Chen Suyun would cave in.

They subconsciously gazed at the Mountain Elders in the hopes that the Mountain Elders would step forward and intervene. However, except for the Second Mountain Elder frowning, the rest of the Mountain Elders were calm and did not react at all.

“Are the Mountain Elders refusing to intervene because they are afraid of that young man?”

The disciples felt a sense of unease because they suspected that something was not right. [Could our Eldest Senior Sister lose her life today?]

“Looks like you intend to kill me, huh?” Chen Suyun coughed out blood as she was covered in injuries. She smiled bitterly and finally summoned a palm-sized golden bell.

The golden bell was accompanied by a blinding light, it grew larger in size with Dao energy flowing. It was obviously a Nirvana Grade Artifact that was given to her through Xiao Yang upon his request to the Second Mountain Elder. It was because she could not be allowed to die in the battle, which was why he gave it to her to safeguard her life.

It was only after using the Nirvana Artifact that Chen Suyun could block the Sky Deer Goddess’ sword energy. Still, it left her feeling uncomfortable, as if she was about to explode into pieces.

“Your Master, who is in Heaven, will definitely not want to see you two fighting with each other. Can’t you understand your Master’s pain?” Xiao Yang couldn’t help but shout again. His expression was terrible as he clenched his fists, wishing that he could step forward and help Chen Suyun in person.

However, what he said had offended the Sky Deer Goddess.

She never intended to be serious, but there was a sense of coldness in her eyes too. When her aura raged, a single ray was enough to change the world and emerge from the ancient battlefield.

The arrays near them could not even resist such an attack as it aimed straight for Xiao Yang.

The area within the vicinity also swayed, as if the place was about to collapse as a result of this energy.

The disciples were horrified as they paled with panic. This was the rage of a True Daoist. If they hadn’t been at a location that was protected, its energy would have spread to a distance thousands of kilometres away.

“You…” Xiao Yang never expected that the Sky Deer Goddess would attack him in front of the Mountain Elders, making his expression turn ugly.

Even so, he was not worried because the Second Mountain Elder’s Master was behind him.

A soft wind blew the next moment and carried the gentlest Yin and Yang energy to calm the Sky Deer Goddess’ attack.

“Xiao Yang, don’t interfere.” The Second Mountain Elder finally made his move to wave his sleeve to cause a blur in the void. Then, he appeared outside the ancient battleship to block the effects of the battle.

“Master, she is really going to kill Eldest Senior Sister.” Xiao Yang frowned because he was unwilling to witness the tragedy befalling his Eldest Senior Sister.

“Second Mountain Elder, are you really going to intervene?” At that moment when the Second Mountain Elder took the initiative to move, a faint voice suddenly emerged from the universe.

A Golden Rune came forward and landed in front of him. It was Gu Changge walking out with calmness and composure.

It was the first time that the disciples of the Nine Great Mountains heard him speaking, and they almost held their breaths as they felt that the atmosphere became tense.

This young man, who looked like a banished Immortal, had a terrifying aura that seemed endless, which made it impossible for anyone to look at him. Even if there were several Mountain Elders in front of him, they still felt overwhelmed.

At this sight, the Third Mountain Elder and everyone else had flickering gazes as they turned to look with different expressions. They actually wanted to know what tricks Gu Changge had up his sleeves.

“What do you mean? The old man is merely trying to persuade his own disciple not to intervene in the matter.” When he heard that, the Second Mountain Elder shook his head as he never intended to have a conflict with Gu Changge and chose to surrender instead.

However, Gu Changge never intended to let the matter die down just like that. There was a terrifying divine light in his eyes that landed on Xiao Yang, causing his expression to change to one of fear. He couldn’t help but retreat as a result.

“He has been interfering repeatedly, but I didn’t see you stopping him. Now that you sense danger on the horizon, you couldn’t resist making a move, huh? You two really have the same temperament.” His words did not fluctuate much as they lacked emotion.

The Second Mountain Elder’s expression changed slightly, after which he shook his head and explained, “Xiao Yang is only trying to persuade the Sky Deer Goddess to let go of her grudge. With his strength, how can he even interfere with her actions?”

“Is that so?” Gu Changge looked at Xiao Yang, who met his gaze with determination. He suddenly smiled and spoke coldly, “Since that’s the case, what if I persuade her to let go of her hatred?”

Over at the ancient battlefield, the Sky Deer Goddess stopped her attacks on Chen Suyu the moment Gu Changge appeared.

She was waiting for his command. It could be observed that whatever happened today was part of his plan. As such, she was the least surprised. “I will follow what Changge says.”

At this, she emerged from the battlefield with a smile and a bloodied Chen Suyun, but Chen Suyun looked as if she had never fought with her clothes devoid of any stains. She looked like a Divine Lotus, and there was hardly any trace of their battle.

Chen Suyun’s injuries were definitely severe even though she had used a Nirvana Grade Artifact. In fact, her body was on the verge of breaking apart. However, since she was oin the Quasi-Nirvana Realm, her Qi and vitality were impressive.

By the time they left the ancient battlefield, she was already recovering from her injuries. Though there were rumbling sounds coming from within her, those were just sounds of her Qi and blood at work.

She couldn’t help but smile and breathe a sigh of relief as she thought that today’s events were over.

Everyone was in a state of shock as they looked at the scene and for a moment, they couldn’t wrap their heads around what had happened. [Could it be that this is it?]

The Mountain Elders frowned, unable to comprehend what kind of spirit herb Gu Changge was selling as they believed that the situation had become more complicated.

“Young Master Gu’s so magnanimous that it’s admirable,” the Second Mountain Elder commented in astonishment as he finally realised what happened.

He never expected Gu Changge to directly ask the Sky Deer Goddess to stop the attack and let go of her grudge.

It was also shocking that the Sky Deer Goddess followed his orders without questioning him, as nobody expected this.

“Eldest Senior Sister…” Xiao Yang never expected that the situation would end up like this. At first, he was stunned and subconsciously felt that Gu Changge was respecting their Master by doing so.

His face was full of shock as he was about to reach out to help the bloodied Chen Suyu.

“Thank you for forgiving me, Junior Sister.” At this moment, there was a sense of relief and freedom on Chen Suyu’s face as she even slightly smiled.

An instant later, her smile suddenly froze while her eyes were filled with shock, confusion, and disbelief as she couldn’t believe what happened.

*Chi!* A golden spear suddenly emerged and pierced her forehead at the speed of lightning. She exploded in mid-air, along with her bone fragments, turning into Bloodmist. Her soul was also destroyed at that moment.

“Now that I am being magnanimous, would you do the same?” Gu Changgee had a cold expression as he looked at the dumbfounded Xiao Yang and spoke up.

The spear was so fast that it surpassed time and space.

Even the Second Mountain Elder could only watch in helplessness without being able to trace back its source, let alone intervene.

The place fell into a solemn silence at that moment while everyone looked shocked and in a state of disbelief. They found it hard to believe that Gu Changge had killed her.
