I am The Fated Villain

Chapter 839: Peeking on the ancient times, go back in time?

The Demonic Mountain was not a specific area but comprised numerous shattered ancient realms filled with vapor and demonic fog.

Over the years, many powerful demons and ancient monsters from various realms had gathered in the Demonic Mountain. Some notorious wicked leaders who once wreaked havoc had pledged allegiance to the Demon Mountainic, ruled by the Red-Clothed Demoness.

In the current immortal realms, excluding the Divine Kingdom, the Demonic Mountain stands as one of the top-tier forces.

Rumors suggest a deep connection between the Demonic Mountain and the current master of the Divine Kingdom, Gu Changge, who was once the Lord of the Ten Thousand Demons.

The ruler of Demonic Mountain, Chan Hongyi, was rumored to be a disciple of Gu Changge, but their relationship turned hostile for unknown reasons.

However, this has kept the status of the Demonic Mountain, as it can rival the powers of the Gu Family and the Peerless Immortal Dynasty in the immortal realms.

With Tao Yao stepping into the Demonic Mountain, a tremendous upheaval occurs. Demonic clouds surge, and figures appear amid the chaotic mist on the winding mountain ridges. Yet, these figures seem to have received orders, quietly vanishing as they cast a glance at Tao Yao.

Tao Yao proceeds calmly into the depths of the Demonic Mountain. Her pace isnt hurried, and the turbulent demonic clouds part before her, revealing a path.

Deep within the Demonic Mountain, a somewhat lonely peak comes into view. It isnt towering, with simple thatched cottages and a clear stone pond. The demonic energy surges in all directions, but the surroundings exude a tranquil and peaceful aura.

At the mountains peak, a figure in red attire sits in meditation. She is lovely, her features delicate like flawless porcelain. Her small face bears brows resembling distant hills, eyes like dots of lacquer, and below the corner of her eyes, theres a teardrop-shaped beauty mark.

As she watches Tao Yao approaching, she suddenly breaks into a smile. This smile seems capable of causing chaos and turning the world upside down. The radiance of the world intensifies with her smile.

Long time no see

Old friend.

Chan Hongyi looks at Tao Yao, her smile bewitching. At this moment, she appears as the enchantress, while Tao Yao, who approaches, emanates a sense of serenity and sanctity.

Indeed, it has been a long time. I didnt expect that, in the end, it would be me coming to see you, Tao Yao speaks softly as her figure descends onto the mountain peak. Looking at the familiar surroundings, she falls into a momentary silence, her expression complex.

Despite Chan Hongyis intense hatred for Gu Changge, it doesnt conceal her obsession. Otherwise, the arrangement of this place would be very different from the past mountain peaks.

I didnt expect that you would come to see me.

Chan Hongyi smiled gently as she spoke, appearing serene at the moment, devoid of the previous hostility in her eyes.

She sat at the mountains summit, accompanied by a simple stone table and stool. There was also a tiny peach tree that had yet to grow fully.

What youre doing is it an imitation of him?

Tao Yao couldnt help but sigh softly, observing Chan Hongyis demeanor, current expression, and even the position where she meditated.

Tao Yao thought Chan Hongyi had indeed fallen into the demonic path, and deeply so.

Perhaps, Chan Hongyi replied with a smile. Only by doing so can I feel his presence, as if I once possessed it

She continued to smile, her expression becoming even more enchanting. She didnt deny her actions, especially not in front of Tao Yao, an old friend who knew her inside out.

You have truly fallen into the demonic path, Peach Yao said, looking at her with amazement. At this moment, Chan Hongyis expression even resembles Gu Changge.

Im the Red-Clothed Demoness now, arent I? What does it matter if I fall into the demonic path or not? Chan Hongyi said and shook her head while still smiling.

Tao Yao didnt know what to say. The current Chan Hongyi made it difficult for her to connect with the memory of the brave, innocent girl in red from the past.

How long have you been like this? After a moment of silence, she asked again.

When Chan Hongyi heard this question, she didnt answer immediately, her expression showing a hint of trance.

How long has it been?

Does it refer to falling into the demonic path? Or does it mean sitting idly like this, forgetting everything, atop the mountain?

She couldnt remember anymore. Now, her memories were sometimes blurred, sometimes explicit, and sometimes she felt like she had returned to her childhood

Clear yet hazy.

Many scenes overlapped, making it difficult for her to distinguish the passage of time.

Perhaps it has been several hundred years Chan Hongyi spoke softly, the smile on her face fading away. Her features seemed even more delicate, like a lotus in the early rain, exuding a sense of desolation.

Several hundred years?

Is it the day he got married?

Tao Yao fell into silence, and surprisingly, she wasnt astonished by this revelation.

Chan Hongyi adjusted to a more comfortable sitting position without saying much more. Instead of cross-legged meditation, she casually waved her hand, and a faint tea fragrance appeared on the nearby stone table, accompanied by a pot of hot tea.

As old friends, I dont have any good tea to offer you, Chan Hongyi said.

Help yourself.

After saying this, she hugged her knees again, placing her chin on her knees as if she were watching something.

Tao Yao sat on the stone stool, poured herself a cup of tea, and said, Stop staring. Instead of watching from a distance, why not ask him yourself?

Chan Hongyi took the tea offered by Tao Yao with a casual gesture. Her gaze lingered on the tea, gently rippling with the fragrance of peach blossoms.

Why ask? Chan Hongyis eyes were deep, focused on the tea in the cup, where a few dried peach blossoms floated.

Ask for a reason. Also, ask for an answer you want to know, Tao Yao said, blowing on her tea.

Suddenly, Chan Hongyi smiled, but there was a hint of mockery in her smile. Whats the point of asking? Were reasons or answers still important now? she retorted.

Tao Yao glanced at her calmly and said, Whether they are important or not, you know it in your heart.

I didnt come to talk about these things and reminisce with you. Over these days, you should have felt the changes in the world With our current strength, we should be able to bear those vast causes and effects. Going back in time, we might be able to witness some things firsthand. This could also be a way to resolve the obsession between you and me.

If the causes and effects backlash during the journey, and we cant bear it, dying in the process, its better than living in the current haze.

This was a decision she had made before leaving Peach Village.

Now, with the changes in the world, she has regained some of her past strength.

Although she couldnt indeed reverse time and return to ancient times, she, as a passerby, could witness some things with her own eyes. However, there were things with such enormous karmic consequences that even Tao Yao wasnt sure if she could bear them.

Peering into the ancient world required a price to be paid.

Going back in time? Chan Hongyi repeated, surprised to learn this was why Peach Yao sought her out. She continued muttering, The Destiny Grand Priestess of the Immortal Palace is currently in the Destiny Temple. She possesses the Fateful Immortal Boat, which can traverse the river of time and offset many immense causes and effects.

Go find her, and she should be willing to lend it to you.

Tao Yaos tone remained calm, devoid of any ripples.
