Chapter 129: 14) The Hidden Realm — The Villain Gu Changgee
Swoosh!
Rays of Brilliant golden light spread everywhere as violent spatial fluctuations wreaked havoc in the surroundings.
An ominous dark crack appeared in the air, and several figures emerged from the crack, just a few distances away from where Yang Khan had attracted lightning tribulation.
They were Gu Changge and his group.
Gu Changgee is the Young Master of the powerful Gu family in the East Mountains same as the Zhao Family and The Yang Family, with their family history reaching as deep as an ocean.
It is rumored that the Gu Family is a branch family and their family history reaches to upper realm.
...
The expression of the cultivators who were stunned arrival of lightning tribulation suddenly showed a drastic change, their faces turning dark seeing the handsome man donned in a fairy black robe full of vibrant patterns, free from mortal dust.
Although they didn't know Gu Changge's identity, as he didn't travel the world nor was infused in mundane activities, these people were smart enough to know that someone who could bring along so many followers behind him wasn't a simple fish in the pond.
Not to mention, such a flashy entrance inside the immortal's tomb, it's clear only powerful people can do it.
'Hmm... Bunch of useless people,"
Gu Changge chuckled at their reactions as it was exactly as he expected it to be, these people couldn't help but look up to him.
Only an idiot would dare come forward and mess with him at this moment.
After all, he wasn't a Protagonist who was destined to be ridiculed no matter where he went, he was a villain, someone who would be respected everywhere he went by common people.

[ Condition: greatly weakened]
[ Luck value: 5290 ]
( previously it was 5000+... Which meant it was increasing, now it's fixed )
'Ooh! Such a fat sheep,' his lips slightly curved forming an evil smirk.
'Inheritance of ancient runes? What a great cheat... I would be more than delighted to steal it,'
"Let's go! It seems there is someone I have to meet,"
Done with his thoughts, he uttered his command for the ones behind him, and then turned into a brilliant flash of light that headed towards the Yang khan, leaving a trail of colorful light.
Swoosh!
In an instance, Gu Changgee followed by elders and servants of the Gu Family, arrived in front of Yang Khan.
Gu Changge alone stepped forward, his regal bearing and piercing gaze commanding the attention of all present.
His lips curled into a confident smirk as he surveyed the weakened Yang Khan, sizing up his prey with a predatory gleam in his eyes.
"Well, well, if it isn't the infamous Yang Khan, from the Yang Family, rumored to sleep with women through means of drugs and forces I must say, I'm quite impressed, wondering how you managed to call a lightning tribulation," He paused, tapping his chin in mock contemplation.
"However, I can't help but wonder...how does one like you, mere trash, come to possess such a remarkable ability? I can sense powerful presences of Conscious Runes from you, "
Gu Changge's eyes narrowed, his voice taking on a velvet smooth yet dangerous tone. "Perhaps you would be so kind as to enlighten me..."
Yang Khan's eyes widened in alarm as Gu Changge's words reached his ears.
He could sense the immense power and cunning hidden behind the other man's deceptively casual demeanor.
What's more? This man even knows his identity.
Swallowing nervously, he struggled to compose himself, knowing that any show of weakness would only embolden his adversary.
"I-I'm not sure what you're talking about," he stammered, inwardly cursing himself for the tremor in his voice.
"I'm merely a humble cultivator, seeking enlightenment within this ancient realm. I have no knowledge of any ancient runes or anything, and I am not Yang Khan... I am Ye Lon Ma, owner of Tes La, a small tea shop,"
Gu Changge's eyes narrowed, his gaze piercing through Yang Khan's feeble attempt at deception.
With a dismissive wave of his hand, he casually gestured towards the sky that crackled with lightning moments ago.
"Do you take me for a fool?" he said, his tone dripping with condescension.
"That power you possess, the one that has drawn the heavens' attention...it is no mere trash cultivation. It seems you don't wish to spill the beans but I intend to uncover its secrets, one way or another."
Slowly, Gu Changge began to advance, his steps measured and deliberate, like a predator closing in on its prey, a lion circling deer, sanke moving sideways.
Yang Khan's heart raced, his mind desperately searching for a way to escape this confrontation.
But the overwhelming presence of Gu Changge and his entourage left him feeling hopelessly outmatched.
Yang Khan felt his heart pounding in his chest as Gu Changge's piercing gaze bore into him, his mind not understanding how this man figured out about his inheritance of runes.
And what's this conscious Runes? Is this man talking about the Runes that protect Yang Khan?
Yang Khan knew he was vastly outmatched I'm insight and intelligence, yet he refused to let his fear show.
Squaring his shoulders, he met Gu Changge's eyes with a surprising calm.
"Haah! If you think I'm simply going to hand over my inheritance, then you are sorely mistaken...," he said, his voice calm and steady like an ancient turtle that win the race with a hare.
"I may not be as powerful as you, but I'm no fool. I know the value of what I possess," Yang Khan was correct.
Gu Changge paused, his lips quirking into a faint smile.
Clearly, the Trash before him had more backbone than he had anticipated.
Intrigued, he folded his arms across his chest, his gaze never wavering, winning the battle with psychological attack, intimidating the beta male with posture and words alone.
"Is that so?" he purred, his tone laced with a hint of amusement. "Then perhaps we could come to some...arrangement. After all, I would hate for you to come to harm, simply because you refuse to cooperate,"
Yang Khan's brow furrowed as he considered Gu Changge's words. The implication was clear - cooperate, or face the consequences.
But he knew that even if he complied, the cunning Young master before him would likely find a way to take what he wanted regardless.
"And what, pray tell, did you have in mind?" he asked cautiously, his mind racing as he tried to devise a strategy to outwit this formidable Young Master.
