I am The Fated Villain

Chapter 1489: The Grateful Zi Yunchuan, Just Happened to the Rescue

As for the caravan, Chu Xiao had no knowledge of the cargo it was transporting. Outside, he rarely revealed his identity and tried to avoid causing trouble. This was a lesson instilled in him by his father since childhood; after all, being outside was different from being in Xian Chu, and Chu Xiao was well aware of this.

“I heard that in Zigui City, there is a Lin Shuixuan, which is affiliated with the Tianxiang Sect. When I arrive in Zigui City, I must go and see it.”

The majestic and towering city gate loomed like an immortal mountain, exuding chaotic light that faintly revealed its outline. Seeing this, Chu Xiao couldn’t help but fan himself, a smile spreading across his face. The Tianxiang Sect was a renowned ancient power in the Xi Yuan civilization, known for accepting only female disciples while emphasizing short periods of cultivation and timely enjoyment. Lin Shuixuan was a romantic spot under the Tianxiang Sect where female disciples often went to refine their hearts.

Upon hearing this, the servant beside Chu Xiao displayed a hint of excitement in his eyes. Being by Chu Xiao’s side naturally came with its perks, including the occasional indulgence.

…

Zigui City was an awe-inspiring sight, resembling an ancient star of life set against a wild and primitive landscape. Surrounding it, immortal fog billowed, lakes flowed one after another, and multicolored water mist hung in the air, creating a scene rich in romance. The city itself was vast, filled with numerous buildings and pavilions. Ancient sacred mountains rose in the depths, bathed in sunlight, while silver waterfalls cascaded down, seemingly descending from the heavens.

On the ancient streets, cultivators and living beings came and went, their figures blurred in the bustle. Chariots and ancient beasts laden with goods could be seen everywhere.

“Brother Gu’s teacher must be extraordinary; otherwise, how could he mentor someone like Brother Gu?” one voice remarked.

At that moment, in the center of Zigui City, on the broadest ancient street, a group of people was making their way through the crowd. The speaker was a tall and handsome man dressed in a purple robe. He wore a purple gold crown on his head, exuding a majestic aura as he walked like a dragon and moved like a tiger. Purple mist occasionally flickered in his eyes, giving him an unusual appearance.

Behind him trailed many men and women of the same age, all his followers. They represented various races, their auras particularly strong, with the weakest among them being an immortal king. Although these individuals appeared young, they were actually hundreds of thousands of years old. Compared to other cultivators of the same realm, they were “younger,” belonging to the elite of the younger generation.

The purple-robed man naturally radiated an aura of nobility, yet he was currently smiling and engaging in friendly conversation with the young man in white beside him, his words kind and courteous.

“My sect is not worth mentioning. On the contrary, Brother Zi comes from Zixiao Mountain, which surprises me.”

“Brother Zi has never mentioned this before. If you hadn’t come to Zigui City, I would have remained oblivious to it.”

The young man in white was even taller and more handsome than the one in purple, his shiny black hair and immortal-like features making him stand out. His facial features were clean and striking, as if sculpted from flawless immortal jade, and even women would feel envy at his looks. He smiled slightly, his tone slightly teasing.

“Brother Gu is joking; it’s not in my capacity. If you hadn’t rescued me back then, I might not be here now.”

Hearing this, the man in the purple robe shook his head and smiled, though a hint of pride lingered in his eyes. His name was Zi Yunchuan, a core disciple of Zixiao Mountain with an extremely noble status; his mother was the granddaughter of the current master of Zixiao Mountain. Zixiao Mountain stood among the most powerful forces in the Xi Yuan civilization, rivaled only by the likes of Xi Yuan Temple, the Endless Demon Realm, and Yuxian Palace.

Given Zi Yunchuan’s identity, he had every reason to be proud. Among his generation of Zixiao Mountain disciples, his innate strength placed him in the top five, with few able to rival him. In Zigui City, no one else could compare to his status.

Yet, even so, Zi Yunchuan was exceptionally polite to the young man in white beside him. Despite appearing younger, this young man’s strength was unfathomable, making him completely unpredictable. From Zi Yunchuan’s perspective, it was possible that the young man in white was already a young immortal emperor.

Of course, the two had only known each other for a short time. Their acquaintance was born out of coincidence. Zi Yunchuan had come to Zigui City for the Wanzang secret realm, which was about to open outside the world. On the way, he and his followers encountered an extremely rare space-time rift, nearly falling into it.

This space-time rift was not a simple one; the other side was rumored to be a lawless and bizarre place. There, no laws or orders would apply. Regardless of one’s power or the number of protective treasures at their disposal, it would be futile. In that moment, Zi Yunchuan found himself on the brink of being trapped and dying.

He couldn’t fathom why he had been so unlucky to encounter such a rare space-time rift, one that was scarcely seen for tens of millions of years. Before he could even call for his guardian, half of his body had already begun to fall into it. As despair washed over him, he realized he was about to be submerged by the rift.

At that critical moment, the young man in white appeared in the distance, rushing to their rescue despite the danger of falling into the rift himself. Afterward, Zi Yunchuan and the others were exceedingly grateful. Naturally, they were also very curious about the origins of the young man in white. Rescuing them from such a perilous situation was no small feat.

However, Zi Yunchuan refrained from asking too many questions, respecting the other party’s privacy. After all, who in this world didn’t have their own secrets? When the young man had rescued them, he acted without hesitation, even sacrificing several extremely rare treasures in the process. Zi Yunchuan remembered this kindness vividly.

Later, he learned that this mysterious young man in white, who bore the surname Gu, happened to be on the same path as them, also heading to Zigui City for the Wanzang secret realm. So, they continued their journey together, leading to the current scene.
