Ying Yu sobered up not long after. She opened her eyes with a somewhat confused expression. What happened at the pavilion was a blur to her, but it seemed like she had gone wild at the end and even took initiative to down a few cups of alcohol in respect to Gu Changge. He had also reciprocated her enthusiasm. When she passed out in the end, he even supported her.

 

“How embarrassing, I got drunk in front of him… Thankfully, I didn’t say anything weird…” Ying Yu sighed out in relief, but noticing she held such thoughts, she blushed a little. 

 

“Xiao Yu…” At this, Ying Shuang who came over to see Ying Yu, happened to see this scene. He furrowed his brows. [Was she thinking about someone? Why did she blush?]

 

Ying Shuang’s expression darkened as he thought of Gu Changge. [She’s thinking of him right after she sobered up?]

 

“Brother.”

 

Ying Yu noticed Ying Shuang by the door and quickly fixed her expression, asking, “Why have you come?”

 

“I came to see how you are doing, but it seems that it was unnecessary.” Ying Shuang spoke lightly, holding a bowl of medicinal soup for hangovers. However, Ying Yu did not notice the undercurrent in Ying Shuang’s tone and words.

 

She replied, “Oh right. I have something to tell you. It’s likely that Sky Emperor Mountain was manipulated by someone and Young Master Gu was also used…” This was the ultimate truth she came up with. Why else would Gu Changge want to hurt them without a reason? Moreover, the other two Successors of the Mortal Palace had shared the same sentiment as well?

 

[Brother must be hiding something from me. Otherwise, the truth would be, the true Successor of Demonic Arts had been hiding in the dark all along, scheming against everyone while making Brother shoulder the blame. Likewise, Gu Changge was simply one of the many being used.] 

 

Ying Shuang listened to what Ying Yu had to say about this. Her thoughts and speculations. However, his expression grew uglier each passing moment, enough for him to interrupt her.

 

“That’s not possible. Just what did Gu Changge say to you? I let you out once and you’re already calling him Young Master Gu?”

 

Ying Yu was stunned. She didn’t know why Ying Shuang was so certain that it was impossible. 

 

In an instant, her eyes grew doubtful but it was useless for her to say anything more. [It really seems like Brother has indeed been hiding many things from me. His attitude towards Gu Changge is filled with deep hatred, when they have never met before. We now know that someone is scheming against us, and Gu Changge has no enmity towards him, so why is he acting like this?]

 

[Brother is the only person who can personally clear things up. I’m sure Gu Changge will understand. He would be able to clear Sky Emperor Mountain of all suspicions relating to the Successors of Demonic Arts. So why does he continue to refuse to do so?]

 

 

Inside the pavilion, Wang Zijin, wearing a pale blue dress. She was perfect, from head to toe, completely mesmerising. She was currently sitting by the window. her chin propped on her palm, her pale finger tapped the table in front of her occasionally, she looked completely bored.

 

Xiu Er was diligently pouring tea for her on the side.

 

“Sister…” Wang Wushaung stood just in front of her with a grin. He looked simple and honest. He lifted his hand and scratched the back of his head. He was completely different now from when he was in front of a crowd. He had appeared reliable and competent then, and meek now.

 

“What’s the matter?” Wang Zijin looked at her two-bit brother and without politeness, “You dare use the protective talisman when there is nothing important? I’ll let you know why flowers are red in a moment.”

 

She didn’t expect Wang Wushang to use it when he was not in any danger, and just used it to summon her.

 

[Is he treating the protection talisman I gave him as a summoning talisman?] Wang Zijin felt that it was a waste to give him a protection talisman in the first place. She did not plan to give him any more.

 

Meanwhile, Wang Wushuang was long used to his sister’s eccentric way of speech. He couldn’t understand it completely, but he knew she meant to teach him a lesson. However, he still said in a hurry, “But sister, wasn’t it you who said if I had something urgent, I should activate this talisman and you’ll come?”

 

“I did say that. But by urgent, I meant if you were in danger…”

 

“Don’t you know I’m very busy right now? Jiang Chuchu, that woman, rushed right into the Eternal Overcast Battlefield.” Wang Zijin felt a little helpless. As one of the few people she could somewhat talk to and had a good relation with, Jiang Chuchu could be somewhat considered a friend. Wang Zijin was quite caring when it came to her.

 

That day, she had left the Immortal Wang family to search for Jiang Chuchu because she wanted to ask her questions. However, she never expected Jiang Chuchu’s face to turn so icy at the mention of Gu Changge. [It was at least a hundred times icier than normal.]

 

Afterwards, hearing of the Eternal Overcast’s appearance, Jiang Chuchu rushed over. Meanwhile, Wang Zijin had no choice but to follow her.

 

The two of them possess numerous secret techniques and eventually found the place emanating Eternal Devouring Qi.

 

Afterwards, Jiang Chuchu, against her protest, rushed right in.

 

This made Wang Zijin feel helpless.

 

Wang Wushuang, fearing his sister would start raising her fist against him, quickly said, “Sister, you said it yourself, if there was something about Young Master Gu, I should report it to you immediately. This time, it was Young Master Gu who asked for your whereabouts. Since I know the importance of this matter, I thought of notifying you immediately…”

 

[Gu Changge?] Hearing this, Wang Zijin’s ears perked up with interest. She no longer continued to fault her brother.

 

“You said he asked about my whereabouts?” Towards the man she was interested in but couldn’t entice, Wang Zijin naturally paid special attention to him. That day after leaving the Immortal Gu Family, she and Gu Changge had not met again.

 

[To think he would try to contact me first. How unlike him. He must need something from me. Could it be? He needs my help for something?] Wan Zijin was quick to toss thoughts of Jiang Chuchu aside. After all, how could a friend compare to her crush?

 

In fact, even if Gu Changge was only looking for her because of something, Wang Zijin would still be happy. After all, this meant that Gu Changge still remembers her, and didn’t forget about her the moment they parted ways.

 

“Okay, tell Gu Changge that I’ll meet him here.” Wang Zijin thought and said, smilingly. [Gu Changge is smart, he will definitely rush over after hearing this.]

 

 

“This is the entrance to the Eternal Overcast Battlefield?” Southern Flourishing Mountain, in a very desolate mountain range, high in the sky, two figures appeared and landed. Gu Changge lifted a brow and asked rather puzzledly.

 

“That’s right, it isn’t somewhere you’ll ever find if you didn’t pay close attention to. But there should be other entrances besides this one.” Beside him was Wang Zijin. With her hands behind her hand, she said with a smile.

 

Gu Changge had learned many things about the Eternal Overcast Battlefield’s location from her. 

 

After he heard of Wang Zijin’s reply, he went to meet her without any hesitation and learned many things from her. She did not hide anything from him, and told him everything in full detail, saving him quite a lot of trouble. She even told him matters regarding the entrance of the Eternal Overcast Battlefield. He did not even need to bother to send people to investigate, and just heard everything directly from her mouth.

 

The Eternal Overcast Battlefield was similar to that of a small secret realm.

 

Due to the Eternal Overcast’s arrival, swallowing a good number of worlds, when the Eternal Devouring Qi becomes saturated, cracks would appear between the worlds, forming mini-worlds. These mini-world were referred to as the Eternal Overcase battlefield..

 

“No words of gratitude for me?” On Wang Zijin’s face was a faint smile. She looked at him, “The Eternal Overcast Battlefield’s location is something currently very few people know about.”

 

“Thank you.” Gu Changge gave a small smile, his face showing just the right amount of gratitude, “I’ll use this chance to get a few more quotas.”

 

“Brother Gu, your gratitude doesn’t seem sincere to me. It felt so half-hearted.” Hearing him, Wang Zijin shook her head and said with a pained look, “In order to find this place back then, we had to spend a lot of time.”

 

She didn’t intend to let Gu Changge profit without a price. [Just one sentence of gratitude? I don’t need such a thing.]

 

[We?] Gu Changge’s caught onto that word and his eyes moved. He easily guessed that it must have been Jiang Chuchu, the other Successor of the Mortal Palace. [Why did she rush into the Eternal Overcast Battlefield?]

 

Still, he let nothing show on his face and said, a bit stunned, “How does Lady Zijin want this Gu to repay you?”

 

“How about you give yourself to me?” Wang Zijin said while smiling. She did not believe that Gu Changge could still act as unruffled as before. She bet Gu Changge wanted to strangle her right now for putting him on the spot. However, she could care less. This was what made things interesting.

 

Gu Changge was stunned for a moment, as if he suffered shock. Following after, he shook his head. There was a ‘woman, please respect yourself’ written all over his body, as he stated, “This Gu has a fiance, Lady Zijin, please don’t joke around like that. If Mingkong hears of this, she will be unhappy.”

 

Wang Zijin looked at him, wanting to roll her eyes. [What is he pretending for? Acting like a decent guy, pretending to be upright.]

 

She pretended to think it over before saying in a different tone. “Men always have numerous wives, I didn’t expect brother Gu to be so devoted. I’ve been rude. How about this, Brother Gu, why not give me a personal item from you?”

 

“Just that? Sure.” Gu Changge didn’t hesitate after hearing this. He untied the pendant by his waist. It was made of clear jade, and looked extraordinary with the runes on it.  He gave it to Wang Zijin.

 

“If I need something in the future, can I use this jade pendant to look for Brother Gu?” Wang Zijin received it with a smile, appearing very happy.

 

“Of course.” Gu Changge smiled and nodded. However, he was snickering to himself. [Sure, feel free to come find me, but helping you would be at your loss.]

 

Following after, the two searched for a fluctuation in space in the desolate mountain range. Yin Qi pervaded the place, the surrounding vegetation withered and grew black dots. It would be hard to scatter this sort of Yin energy, even if they had to work on it for nine days. 

 

“Although the Yin Qi here isn’t very pure…it is indeed coming from this place.” Looking at the withered plants, Gu Changge couldn’t help but say.

 

Wang Zijin nodded, “The Eternal Overcast Battlefield could be entered from here. As for the other entrances, I’m not clear about them.”

 

Gu Changge narrowed his eyes. [The Eternal Overcase battlefield’s true location is hard to discern, but if one followed the direction where the Yin Qi is coming from, it is actually a simple matter.]

 

Following after, the two returned from the path they came from. 

 

Inside the Eternal Overcast Battlefield, besides the younger generation, one would hardly see a cultivator of the older generation, unless there was a hero bursting with a sense of justice that would like to sacrifice themself to stop the Eternal Overcast from erupting. 

 

Many younger generations had steeling themselves before they charged in. After all, to get a quota at the Immortal Academy, they needed to kill a certain number of Eternal Overcast creatures.

 

If someone didn’t want to come, then it couldn’t be helped.

 

Like so, Gu Changge did not worry that there would be a powerful existence inside that would foil his plan.

 

“Brother Gu, I heard you met with Sky Emperor Mountain’s Ying Yu recently. What do you think of that brother of hers?” Halfway, Wang Zijin suddenly asked this.

 

Back at the Immortal Gu Family, she was suddenly pursued by the Successor of Demonic Arts and even suffered heavy injuries. She held this grudge even till now. In her opinion, no matter what, the Successor of Demonic Arts definitely has something to do with the Sky Emperor Mountain and Prince Ying.

 

“Miss Ying Yu is straightforward and sincere. As for her brother, I wouldn’t know. We haven’t even met.” Gu Changge replied in a natural manner. 

 

“Does Prince Ying intend to hide like a turtle for the rest of his life? If he isn’t the Successor of Demonic Arts, why is he scared to show himself…” Wang Zijin was quite confident in her judgement, moreover, when she asked Jiang Chuchu about this, she received silence as an answer. 

 

[If there was nothing wrong with Sky Emperor Mountain, Jiang Chuchu’s would’ve retorted, given her righteous nature. However, she chose to remain silent. This means she also feels there is a problem with Sky Emperor Mountain.]

 

“If that’s the case, I actually have a way to make Ying Shuang appear…” Hearing this, Gu Changge appeared to think for a long time before saying, “When the time comes, what’s real and fake will be known.”

 

Wang Zijin nodded, not suspecting anything.

 

The Successor of Demonic Arts had greatly humiliated the Gu Family. Thus, Gu Changege decision on this matter was understandable.

 

 

In the next few days, Ye Langtian, Ye Liuli, Chi Lang and the others received news of what Gu Changge had learned about the location of the Eternal Overcast Battlefield.

 

This made them shocked and jovial.

 

During this period of time, they painstakingly searched for information but couldn’t find where the Eternal Overcast Battlefield was. However, Gu Changge had just reached the South Flourishing Heaven for a few days and had already learned of everything.

 

Of course, they didn’t know, this information came from Wang Zijin and didn’t have anything to do with Gu Changge at all. Meanwhile Gu Changge told them simply because he thought that it would be better to have familiar people with him while inside the Eternal Overcast Battlefield, so it would be easier to create an alibi.

 

On the other side, Ying Yu also received the information from Gu Changge. Her silver pupils constricted in astonishment. She had also been searching for information on the Eternal Overcast Battlefield. However, she always came up with no results.

 

After all, it was related to the quotas of the Immortal Academy. One less person who knew meant a better chance for themselves. Furthermore, Gu Changge was actually willing to give her such an opportunity.

 

This made Ying Yu feel touched. However, the information came along with a request from Gu Changge. If she encountered any of his people in the Eternal Overcast Battlefield, he wanted her to bring them along if the situation permits.

 

Ying Yu didn’t think there was anything wrong with this. It was only a small matter. In fact, from this matter, she could discern Gu Changge’s generous and confident nature. [He is confident that no one could take away the Immortal Academy’s quota from him.]

 

Ying Yu then passed the information to the other younger generation of Sky Emperor Mountain. However, she did not say the source was Gu Changge, fearing that Ying Shuang would be displeased and would choose to stay inside the manor, not going anywhere once again. Similarly, she would definitely not help him fight for a place in the Immortal Academy.

 

“It is Heaven’s will, since the Eternal Overcast Battlefield has been found, let us go.”

 

Ying Shuang didn’t know the source of the information. After he heard Ying Yu’s words, he contemplated for a moment before deciding to go.

 

If he didn’t go this time, what he would lose wouldn’t just be his face, but also the face of Sky Emperor Mountain. He was afraid others would also start questioning the authenticity of his identity.

 

 

Soon, several days passed. The crowd, according to the location provided by Gu Changge, finally arrived at the Eternal Overcast Battlefield. The gloomy sky was drifting with grey clouds. There were clearly rays of sun, yet there was an unshakeable chill to them.  The mountain range was grand, the terrain vast, their special characteristic being everything was bare and devoid of life.

 

The so-called Eternal Overcast creatures were actually ordinary people contaminated by Yin Qi, and in the end, became Yin Spirits.

 

Many of them would lose their consciousness and become walking corpses whose only purpose is to devour vitality. Very few possessed intelligence, but they were clearly incompatible with the outer world. 

 

“Unexpectedly, there were people before us…” Ye Langtian and the others were very surprised. They saw the Yin Spirits near the entrance had already been wiped out.

 

The Yin Qi here made them feel extremely uncomfortable, and if they went deeper, they might face life-threatening danger.

 

“Gu Changge’s group isn’t with us, they must’ve gone deeper already.” Ye Liuli looked around and said.

 

They left the place and towards a place where the Yin Spirits were.

 

After a while, a fluctuation appeared in the spot again. Those from Sky Emperor Mountain had arrived. Ying Shuang and Ying Yu were present as well as several other people, such as ancient monstrosity Ah Gu, who was dressed in black. 

 

Ying Shuang wore a long robe, his hands behind his back. He gazed at the surroundings with calm eyes and said, “It seems that someone was here. I want to see who’s so bold to come before us.”

 

Now was the time for him to consolidate his dignity as Prince Ying. When the opportunity comes, he would make a move and harvest reverence and awe from everyone.

 

“Look, he really couldn’t stand it and came.”

 

“No matter how you look at it, right now, the Eternal Overcast Battlefield is the best place for the Successor of Demonic Arts to grow. He has no reason not to come.”

 

In the other direction, Gu Changge, who had been watching over the entrance the entire time couldn’t help but say mockingly.

 

Wang Zijin nodded in agreement.

 

“But…he seemed to have noticed us.”

 

“Such powerful Divine Sense.”

 

She was a bit shocked. She could feel that Ying Shuang’s Soul was very powerful and could be felt from where she was, a far distance away.

 

“I expect nothing less of Prince Ying.” Gu Changge showed a faint smile, “Then, I’ll leave the rest to Lady Zijin.”

 

After he finished speaking, the space in front of him distorted and he disappeared.

 

Wang Zijin inwardly rolled her eyes. She knew Gu Changge was somewhere nearby, waiting to watch the show. However, she didn’t object to what he was doing. Now was the time for her to take revenge against Ying Shaung. She didn’t have evidence proving he was the Successor of Demonic Arts, but it didn’t matter to her.

 

*Humm!* Quickly, Wang Zijin’s form disappeared like a wisp of smoke.

 

At where Ying Shuang and his group were, there was a terrifying disturbance and splendid runes exploded on the spot. Ying Shuang bore the brunt of it without having a chance to react. His expression changed, “Who are you…”

 

“—uu!” Before he finished his sentence, Wang Zijin pummelled him with her fists. She knocked the air out of him and sent him flying, spewing blood with numerous broken bones.

 

“Young Master…”

 

“Brother…”

 

The expressions of those from Sky Emperor Mountain were all in sync. They all felt shocked.

 

“You fake, lemme see how you’re going to continue pretending now!?” Gu Changge was hidden in the void. He couldn’t help being engrossed in what was unfolding.
