I Am the Fated Villain-Chapter 1116 - 477: The spearhead is directed at Xian Chu, the decisive heart of Chu Gucheng

Chapter 1477: The spearhead is directed at Xian Chu, the decisive heart of Chu Gucheng

At this moment, within the Xi Yuan civilization, in Xian Chu, the scene was set in Chu Wang City. In the grand hall, Chu Gucheng and many of his subordinates were discussing important matters. Hundreds of formidable figures gathered there, each radiating an aura of immense power; even the weakest among them was at the level of the Immortal Emperor. They were surrounded by fragments of time, as if existing in another dimension, their presence boundless.

Xian Chu had recruited talents over the ages, conquering many with great fortune. Some of these individuals had matured into powerful beings capable of standing on their own. Now that news had reached them, those present were merely a fraction of their might.

“The king can rest assured; as long as you give the order, let alone the Mirror of Reincarnation, even the Holy Maiden of Xi Yuan, we will capture everything for you,” declared a burly general clad in golden armor, his voice booming with confidence.

His spirit was as deep as an abyss, his eyes blazed like the sun, and an overwhelming aura surrounded him. The golden light that flowed from him illuminated the hall, resembling an invincible god of war.

The previously heavy atmosphere of the hall lifted with the general’s words, prompting laughter from many attendees, their initial tension dissipating in the wake of his bold assertion.

Even Chu Gucheng, who was feeling somewhat irritable, couldn’t help but shake his head, offering a helpless smile as he said, “The Xi Yuan Temple is the oldest force in the Xi Yuan civilization, with an unfathomable background. It cannot be underestimated.”

The general in golden armor standing before him was one of the four generals of Xian Chu, a Heavenly General with strength that was equally profound. It could even be said that Chu Gucheng had single-handedly promoted and guided him. Furthermore, this Heavenly General was a person of great fortune, with a childhood experience that bore similarities to that of Chu Gucheng.

“Xi Yuan Temple is indeed transcendent, but we haven’t seen any renowned genius emerge from there in recent epochs, and very few have even broken through to the Dao realm. Why should the king be so concerned?” Tianshen Jiang smiled indifferently.

Xian Chu’s power was currently at its peak, thriving and strong, instilling fear in the rest of the Xi Yuan civilization. ƒreewebɳovel.com

“Of course, I’m not afraid of the Xi Yuan Temple; I’m just contemplating other matters. The master of Holy Maiden Xi Yuan is a true transcendent-level existence. Although she has been absent for countless years, she should not be underestimated,” Chu Gucheng replied, shaking his head.

Regardless of the era, the presence of a transcendent was an extraordinary phenomenon. However, his recent attempts to seek assistance from the Holy Maiden Xi Yuan had been rebuffed, deepening Chu Gucheng’s resolve. He was already making arrangements to counteract the impending calamity.

Among them, the most precious Mirror of Reincarnation in the hands of the Holy Maiden Xi Yuan played a vital role. From Chu Gucheng’s perspective, its significance was directly tied to the success of his plans for counterbalance. When the topic of the Holy Maiden Xi Yuan’s master arose, silence enveloped the hall. The Heavenly General from earlier was clearly apprehensive about that transcendent existence.

“It would be great if the Master could return at this time…” Chu Gucheng mused. “The Mirror of Reincarnation is extremely important. If the Holy Maiden Xi Yuan continues to refuse to lend it to us, then she shouldn’t blame me for taking more forceful measures.”

His eyes deepened, his expression a blend of authority and calm, hands clasped behind his back. Star King Bai Mei, the Eight True Gods, and many other subordinates gathered there, their expressions turning serious as they absorbed his words. A murderous intent flickered in their eyes.

Since its establishment, Xian Chu had faced numerous catastrophes, nearly collapsing several times, only to overcome these crises through their combined efforts. Although the Xi Yuan Temple held a detached position within the Xi Yuan civilization, if they insisted on opposing Xian Chu, the subordinates were more than willing to obey their lord’s orders and raise their forces to seize the Mirror of Reincarnation.

“If the great land of Xian Chu is destroyed, then there’s no need for Xi Yuan civilization to exist,” declared several other figures cloaked in divine brilliance, their auras equally formidable, fear etched in their eyes.

Chu Gucheng nodded in satisfaction, appreciating the unwavering loyalty and resolve of his followers.

Xian Chu’s power and influence were largely due to Chu Gucheng’s management and recruitment efforts. Nearly every subordinate in front of him had been personally selected by him, with whom he had fostered strong relationships since their youth. They had stood by him, protecting him, and had grown alongside him to reach their current strengths.

“The lord’s 130th birthday is approaching, and I have sent invitation letters to various forces as instructed,” Star King Bai Mei announced at that moment.

Chu Gucheng nodded in approval. “Very well. After this birthday banquet, if the Xi Yuan Temple still doesn’t understand the situation, then they shouldn’t blame me for taking action.”

He then issued several orders, prompting the star kings, generals, and courtiers in the palace to retreat one after another.

However, it wasn’t long before shocking news erupted, causing Chu Gucheng to feel an overwhelming sense of astonishment and alarm.

“My lord, there’s bad news. The Ninth Prince of the Golden Crow from the Demon Court has fallen in the territory of our Xian Chu. The Demon Ancestor is furious, and many demon generals and soldiers are heading toward our lands!” a minister reported, his complexion pale as he knelt before Chu Gucheng.

“What did you say?” Chu Gucheng’s face filled with shock and disbelief, unable to fully grasp the gravity of the situation.

However, he quickly regained his composure, and his eyes flickered slightly. Then, he said in a deep voice, “Let the lord handle this matter. Although the Ninth Prince of the Golden Crow fell in the territory of Xian Chu, we cannot allow the Demon Court to run rampant.” After all, this was a matter of face.

Yet, he couldn’t comprehend why the Ninth Prince of the Demon Court had suddenly died in Xian Chu’s territory.

With a swift motion of his wide sleeves, an ancient book filled with light and inscribed with ancient runes emerged. This was a sacred object, almost considered a treasure, known as the Yin Yang Dao Book, which possessed the ability to deduce events. Chu Gucheng had not used it for a long time because it was challenging to deduce the actions of someone at his level.

But at this moment, he decided to employ it, frowning as he sought to uncover the cause, effect, and reasoning behind the Ninth Prince’s death.

“It’s actually related to a struggle for an opportunity?” he mused. The Yin Yang Dao Book was extraordinarily mysterious. Under Chu Gucheng’s careful deduction, ripples spread from it, causing the pages of the ancient tome to flutter, with faint brilliance emerging from them.

His brows knitted even tighter, and a solemnity filled his eyes.

In the Longling Ancient Domain, Chu Bai returned to Xuan Luo City wielding the sun-shooting bow, and the Chu family erupted in cheers. All the clansmen were filled with excitement. After all, Chu Bai had returned in complete victory, unscathed, while the Golden Crow, responsible for countless slaughters, had vanished without a trace. The terrifying battle that had raged there had also come to an end. Clearly, Chu Bai had killed the Golden Crow, proving himself as a true genius emerging from Xuan Luo City.

“Ancestor Chu Bai killed a Golden Crow at the quasi-immortal emperor realm; his strength is truly unfathomable!” the members of the Chu clan exclaimed, looking at Chu Bai with reverence and admiration.

Despite still feeling a bit unsettled, Chu Bai pushed aside all worries in his heart. “This matter is settled, but I fear there will be no peace in the future. I must inform the rest of the Chu clan about this situation,” he thought to himself as he felt the sun-shooting bow resonate deeply with his mind.

He had no regrets about killing Di Wen; the sun-shooting bow was a rare divine treasure in the world, and in his opinion, its power was on par with the legendary treasures of civilization.

With just a few arrows, Chu Bai had easily killed Di Wen, who was in the quasi-immortal emperor realm. He realized that once he achieved the Dao Realm in the future, his power would grow even more formidable, and his future accomplishments could rival those of Chu Gucheng, the current king of Xian Chu.

“Wealth is sought in danger; if I had refused to fight, I might have been killed by the guardian of the Golden Crow,” he mused, setting aside the celebration of his clansmen. Instead, he began reaching out to other powerful figures in Xian Chu. After all, he had cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years, forming many friendships, and he knew several seniors who had already broken through to the Dao realm. These seniors held significant positions within Xian Chu.

Most importantly, Chu Bai aimed to report this matter to Chu Gucheng, hoping to secure his support in the aftermath of his victory.
