I Am the Fated Villain

Chapter 126.1: Framed by Gu Changge; Enough Strength to Slaughter a Sacred Realm Master!

[Just when a storm went off in the outside world because of the Ancient Immortal Continent.]

Ye Ling, who had disguised his face and breath, hid in a  remote and quiet courtyard of the Heavenly Dao Ancient City.

Right now, he resembled a handsome young man who frowned and paced around.

“Turtle Bro, the cultivators of the White Tiger Family go around trying to catch me every single day, so do you really think I won’t be caught by them?”

Ye Ling asked with a gloomy expression.

Although he had already changed his face and also used the Power of Reincarnation to hide his origin’s aura, he still didn’t dare to wander around outside.

The White Tiger Family was a threat to him that could bring forth countless treasures that could reveal one’s origin, after all — no matter how one disguised themselves, they wouldn’t be able to hide from them.

Ye Ling couldn’t help but panic when he thought of this, and felt depressed, frustrated, and enraged.

He did nothing, yet such a massive blame was pinned on his head, and he also turned into the successor of the Taboo Inheritance whom everyone desired to murder.

He was in a messed up situation right now.

“Don’t worry, no one can see through the means of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor of Reincarnation. You can rest assured that no one will be able to trace you no matter how hard they look. This old turtle will eat shit if that happens.”

A burst of brilliance appeared from the pendant around his neck and the old turtle who looked to be made from white jade revealed himself.

He looked like an immortal beast, but his eyes appeared a bit squeamish.

His eyes ruined his appearance, and just one look at him could tell that he wasn’t a serious turtle.

Still, the turtle’s words relieved Ye Ling and he said in an aggrieved tone, “Don’t let me find out the one who’s framing me, or I will smash that bastard’s skull into smithereens!”

“It’s clear that this matter has something to do with that man in white from that night. It’s very likely that he wishes to murder you, and it’s also possible that he’s the true successor of the Taboo Inheritance.”

The old turtle analyzed the matter for Ye Ling.

“I have never met him before, so why did he do that to me? Could he be one of the people I offended in the past?”

Ye Ling showed an ugly expression as he couldn’t figure out the truth of the matter…he even suspected that person to be Ye Langtian.

After all, he didn’t have any other major enemies aside from Ye Langtian.

“Ye Langtian would have already gotten rid of you if he had those means! Although it’s possible, it’s highly unlikely to be him.”

“What’s more? The appearance of the [Immortal Devouring Demonic Art] here is far too much of a coincidence. I suspect that the true successor of the Taboo Inheritance has been cultivating near the Heavenly Immortal Dao Palace for a good while, and who knows? He might just be a disciple of the Palace!”

Ye Ling’s eyes narrowed.

He wasn’t dumb, after all, so it wasn’t hard for him to reach this conclusion since he had lived long and gone through a lot in life.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it to be a reasonable guess.

Moreover, the other party calculated that he was hiding a secret that he dared not expose to the public, and that’s why he dared to pin the blame on his head so blatantly!

That’s what made the other party so evil!

“Judging from the fact that Yue Mingkong tried to assassinate me that day, she must have guessed that I have the inheritance of a certain existence and so she wanted to snatch it…”

Ye Ling analyzed the matter, and soon, a flash of light went through his mind and he couldn’t help but shiver.

In broad daylight, he couldn’t help but feel an astonishing chill that threatened to freeze his soul.

“What’s more? Yue Mingkong is Gu Changge’s fiancee, so Gu Changge must know about this, too.”

“The first person I ruled out before was Gu Changge, the Heir of the Heavenly Immortal Dao Palace, but now that I think about it…he’s the greatest suspect!”

Ye Ling was horrified when he thought about this, and his scalp went numb.

Who would have imagined Gu Changge to be the successor of the Taboo Inheritance?

He, too, wouldn’t have believed it to be him if he hadn’t analyzed every possibility in detail.

The world outside both praised and criticized Gu Changge. Some claimed him to be an indifferent and ruthless monster, while others claimed that he was a kind, generous, and refined man who had the talent of a true immortal.

And now, he was also the Heir of the Heavenly Immortal Dao Palace and the Young Master of the Ancient Immortal Gu Family…he had an extremely esteemed identity that put him above anyone else, so how could he be the successor of the Taboo Inheritance who would destroy the world in the future?

“This matter is far too terrifying! Under the watchful eyes of the Heavenly Immortal Dao Palace, their Heir turned into the successor of the Taboo Inheritance — once this matter gets out, it will shock the entire Upper Realm!”

The old turtle was also frightened and showed a solemn expression.

Ye Ling’s words weren’t unreasonable since such a coincidence was indeed unimaginable.

It would be all good and well if an ordinary person turned out to be the successor of the Taboo Inheritance, but Gu Changge was no ordinary person!

His identity placed him at the very pinnacle of the world among his peers in the Upper Realm.

What did this mean?

It meant that he was an Emperor among Emperors of his generation!

And what happens when the one at the top is an evil monster…

“This matter is of great importance, and the truths involved in this matter are far too terrifying! What you say isn’t far-fetched, and Gu Changge is indeed the greatest suspect.”

The old turtle said in all seriousness.

It’s just that the only ones who knew the truth were Ye Ling and him, and even if they revealed the truth before the world, no one would believe them.

“Damn it! It turns out that the one framing me was none other than Gu Changge. I haven’t even seen him before, yet he decided to use me as a scapegoat as soon as I said that I wanted to challenge him— It seems that he really is a small-minded villain.”

“Good, good, good! I will fight with you all the way! What bullshit talent of a true immortal? What nonsense successor of the Taboo Inheritance? I am not afraid of anything!”

Ye Ling ground his teeth and clenched his fists.

One could see the flames of rage burn in his eyes as his fighting spirit soared to newer heights.

After all, he had defeated countless enemies stronger than him on his path to prominence, so even though Gu Changge seemed to have the advantage of time and place, Ye Ling believed that he could turn his situation around and come out on top!

Ye Ling felt extreme humiliation and rage when he realized that he got played by Gu Changge in the palm of his hand, and had to get framed without making a sound in return.

“Don’t reveal this beforehand since no one will believe you even if you say it, and there’s a chance that you might end up getting yourself killed if you do that. Gu Changge isn’t targeting you yet because he just wants you to take the blame for him.”

The old turtle added.

For others, it might just be a conspiracy, but for Ye Ling, it was a conspiracy that he had to play along with even if he didn’t want to.

Gu Chnagge was a terrible monster!

“Of course! It’s good that we guessed it all in time; I don’t feel well having such a terrifying enemy staring at us from the dark…”

The old turtle sighed.

Right then, a knock on the door sounded from outside the courtyard, accompanied by a cold and prideful voice.

“Anyone there?”

“Chi Ling! She’s here.”

Chi Ling’s arrival overjoyed Ye Ling and he rushed to open the door.
