All the disciples were shocked by the appearance of Sky Deer Goddess and Gu Changge in the Nine Great Mountains. It made many Mountain Elders concerned as they speculated about Gu Changges identity. Judging from what the Sky Deer Goddess had mentioned, Gu Changge came from a terrifying background and the cultivation he had achieved at such a young age was also difficult to gauge. Not to mention, she had also admitted that she was his concubine.
Many disciples went to the Third Mountain amidst all these rumours to get a glimpse of the truth. After all, many of them wanted to know how to resolve the grievances between the Sky Deer Goddess and Chen Suyun, since it significantly involved Sky Deer City and the Nine Great Mountains.
Over at the Second Mountain, Chen Suyun had also received news of the Sky Deer Goddess making a trip over. She couldnt help but frown as she struggled to accept the news. She eventually sighed. She has finally come, huh?
She had a complicated expression as memories replayed themselves in her mind and the face of a bright and brilliant girl appeared. In fact, it was something that she should have expected because she had been waiting for the Sky Deer Goddess to come to her all these years.
Eldest Senior Sister, you are the Sky Dear Goddess Senior Sister, right? So, are you really going to resolve your grievances with her? At this time, a young man entered the place. He was Xiao Yang, and he had an anxious and worried expression on his face. He was shocked by the news he had received.
If it hadnt been for Chen Suyun who had found him, the nearby beasts would have eaten him alive. In short, if there was no Chen Suyun, there would be no Xiao Yang. Furthermore, Chen Suyun had been nurturing him and teaching him. She treated him like how a sister or a mother would.
Because of the gratefulness he felt from the bottom of his heart, he intended to protect her and repay her for her sacrifices when he had the ability to do so.
When he received this news, Xiao Yang was shocked because he did not know about Chen Suyuns grievances with the Sky Deer Goddess as she had never mentioned it.
As for the rumours surrounding the Sky Deer Goddess, he had already known about it. Many years ago, when the Upper Realm Army attacked Sky Deer City, a terrifying True Daoist was killed by the Sky Deer Goddess.
That shocking battle had left the entire world trembling. From that point on, there was no denying that the Sky Deer Goddess was formidable.
Prior to this, Xiao Yang did not know about the relationship between the Sky Deer Goddess and Chen Suyun.
You also heard about it, right? As Chen Suyun faced Xiao Yang, her gentle expression remained for a long time. She even revealed a rare smile.
Eldest Senior Sister, the Sky Deer Goddess is a True Daoist whereas you are only in the Quasi-Nirvana Realm. If you want to resolve your grievances with her, Im afraid youre not her match. Xiao Yang couldnt help but mention with worry as this matter made him even more concerned than his own battle with Gu Wudi in 3 days time. After all, he regarded Chen Suyun as his Senior Sister and family member.
It involves the grievances that we have, which needs to be resolved sooner or later. You dont have to worry about it, Chen Suyun answered gently. Plus, she is much more gifted than me. I shouldve figured this out a long time ago. After all, she succeeded in achieving the Great Dao and had become a True Daoist much earlier than me. Shes probably even close to reaching the advanced stage of the Nirvana Realm whereas Ive been in the Quasi-Nirvana Realm for close to 6 years without being able to make a breakthrough.
The moment she said that, she sighed again as her expression grew even more complicated.
This was the first time that Xiao Yang saw guilt on her face, which made him gape. He did not know what to say for a while because he did not know much about their grievances.
However, judging from the current situation, Chen Suyun might have done something terrible, which was why she came to the Nine Great Mountains. Even if she had done something terrible, she was still his Senior Sister. Thus, he wont let anyone harm her.
At this thought, Xiao Yang became solemn as he clenched his fist in secret.
My Master was right back then. She was the most suitable candidate to be the next Sky Deer Goddess. She is the most talented after all. Its only just that heaven forbids her from reaching the next Realm Chen Suyun sighed as she was a little emotional because she figured out how to calm herself down.
[Thats why I regret what happened in the past, but nothing in this world can eradicate our regret nor change what I have done.] She also could not reverse the River of Time and change what had happened in the past.
Eldest Senior Sister, what actually happened? Why would the both of you meet on the battleground as enemies now? Xiao Yang couldnt help but ask.
Chen Suyun shook her head with guilt as she answered, I have wronged her. Back then, I was jealous of her talent. When my Master intended to make her the next Sky Deer Goddess, I was not resigned to that fact. One fine day when Master was out, I took her away from Sky Deer City and tried to steal her Talents with a Secret Technique at Boundary Marker Sea. It was such a pity that when I was about to succeed, Master saw me and rushed to rescue her from death. In order to save her and preserve her Talents, Master did not hesitate to use her life to perform a Secret Technique. As a result, Master died.
She did not explain why she escaped from Sky Deer City and arrived at Nine Great Mountains and begged the Nine Mountain Elders to take her in because it no longer mattered.
In fact, she knew that her Junior Sister would hate her. Before their Masters last breath, she had hoped that she could stop the internal strife. She even tried to ask her Junior Sister to let go of her hatred. On top of that, the Sky Deer Goddess knew that Chen Suyun had come to Nine Great Mountains alone, and if the Sky Deer Goddess came here alone, she might be killed before she could get her revenge. These were the reasons why she had not sought revenge after all these years.
Xiao Yang was silent after he listened to Chen Suyuns words, but he soon raised his head and spoke up in a low voice. Nobody is perfect. Since you have realised your mistake, Ill forgive you if I were the Sky Deer Goddess. Its been so many years; how can there be something that cant be discussed in this world? If she is magnanimous, she shouldnt be holding on to her grudge. Whats more, you are Martial Sisters. There is no one closer than you both.
I hope so too, but things are more complicated now because she is being accompanied by that young man Chen Suyun smiled when she heard those words and understood Xiao Yangs insinuation. She felt that her Junior Sister would not let her off the hook with such ease and given her personality, she should not be that close to that young man.
Therefore, the greatest possibility was that the Sky Deer Goddess had used that young mans power to intimidate the Nine Great Mountains into retreating from this matter.
Their grievances should be resolved by themselves only, which was evident by the Sky Deer Goddess determination to come here and avenge their past.
Please dont worry about this. You should focus on preparing for your battle with Gu Wudi in 3 days time. Second Mountain Elder has told me about you, so I believe that you can win that bet within these 3 days. After she spoke, there was exhaustion on Chen Suyuns face as she waved her hands.
Xiao Yang understood that Chen Suyun wanted him to leave with such a gesture. He nodded and clenched his fists as he told himself, [Dont worry, Eldest Senior Sister. I wont allow anyone to hurt you.]
He left the chamber thereafter to head to the Second Mountain Elders place as he wanted to seek the Elders assistance to help his Senior Sister. [I know that for my sake, Second Mountain Elder wont stand aside and not bother about Eldest Senior Sisters matter.]
So, that is the grudge you have against the your Senior Sister? At the same time, in one of the chambers on the Third Mountain, Gu Changge listened to the grievances the Sky Deer Goddess and Chen Suyun had without missing a beat.
He raised his eyebrow with interest.
It wasnt that he was suddenly interested in the Sky Deer Goddess grievances but rather in the fact that Chen Suyun had practically adopted Xiao Yang more than 20 years ago.
Gu Changge would not refuse anyone if it meant dealing the Fortuitous One a blow and reaping the rewards.
What happened? Dont tell me that youre actually sympathising with me, Young Master Gu? The Sky Deer Goddess said with a faint smile.
Dressed in feathers in the colour of snow, she was tall and slender with delicate and flawless features. When she blinked, it made people think that she was seductive, which was completely different from her saintly appearance.
Theres nothing to sympathise about. Arent you having a good life now? Gu Changge shook his head casually and added, It seems that you are still determined to come to the Nine Great Mountains to seek revenge after all these years.
Before Master passed away, I promised her that Ill let go of my grudges and protect Sky Deer City since she painstakingly built it. Ill definitely do my best to protect it, but I certainly wont allow anyone who hurt my Master to continue living. The Sky Deer Goddess walked to the window and raised her head to look at the magnificent sky in the distance. Those beautiful eyes of hers reflected magnificent stars, while her hair flowed like a waterfall.
She felt that the reason why her Master lost her life was because she had used all her vitality to perform that Secret Technique. An incident caused by Chen Suyun.
In that case, Ill wait for the good show. Gu Changge poured a glass of wine for himself to enjoy leisurely.
Young Master Gu, I thought youd persuade me to let go of my hatred since she is my Senior Sister. The Sky Deer Goddess suddenly turned to look at Gu Changge with an inexplicable expression.
Since I cant put myself in your shoes, what do I have to persuade you to let go of your grudges? Gu Changge shook his head because he knew that saying. [It doesnt matter whether you can have your revenge or not. The most important thing is to knock the Fortuitous One down. Otherwise, how can I grab a bargain and get more Fortuity?]
What a smart way to coax a woman, Young Master Gu. If I didnt know you as well as I do, Id definitely be moved by your words. Her eyes shone, as if there was a divine light in them. She couldnt help but smile faintly as she approached him and hugged his neck before sitting down. Her delicate yet sultry fragrance wafted in the air as he felt her hair touching his skin.
If you arent confident that I wont dare to bed you, Im sure you wont be so bold. He was still unmoved as he enjoyed his drink.
The Sky Dear Goddess was unbothered by his comment and took the initiative to approach him.
Gu Changge raised his eyebrow because he never expected that she would go to such lengths to protect Sky Deer City.
Even if you cant bed me, arent there other ways? Sky Deer Goddess raised her head with a faint smile, as if she was provocatively mocking him with her confidence.
She had bright eyes, perfect teeth, and flawless skin. There was even a jade-like glow to her, making her both holy and demonic. She was so beautiful that she looked surreal and caused those around her to suspect that this was truly the real her.
Im becoming more reluctant to kill you He sighed as he rested his palm on her flawless face.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the next day.
Many disciples and even the Mountain Elders had gathered at one of the peaks of the Nine Mountains. The peak was majestic as the ray of light surrounded it, while the cliffs were as smooth as mirrors, as if it was carved by a Heavenly Sword. The spiritual energy was dense with an overflow of Celestial Mist as the various trees and heavenly herbs permeated the air with its aroma.
There was an ancient battlefield concealed in the void and shrouded in the mist, with many engraved powerful patterns, which had been arranged by the Nine Great Mountains from generations ago. Normally, it would only be open to the public when there were major events, such as the Mountain Elders battling each other, since this battlefield could withstand the fluctuations of power from those in the Nirvana Realm.
And now, it was obvious that the battlefield was opened not because of the Mountain Elders but because of something else.
I heard that the Sky Deer Goddess will settle her grudge with Eldest Senior Sister. Considering that they are using the Nirvana Realm Battlefield, it seems that it will be a terrifying battle.
Not many people are optimistic about Eldest Senior Sistes chances. After all, the Sky Deer Goddess is a True Daoist whereas the Eldest Senior Sister is only in the Quasi-Nirvana Realm. They have such a wide gap between them.
Really? It seems like the Eldest Senior Sister is unlucky. The other party just wants to take advantage of her!
After being notified to gather at the Nirvana Realm Battlefield, many disciples of the Nine Great Mountains arrived from all directions and gazed at the mist in the void. They were whispering with each other as they discussed the major events that happened in the Nine Great Mountains over the recent days.
Sky Deer Goddess wanted to seek revenge and resolve her grievances with Chen Suyun.
When they learned that her cultivation level was much higher than Chen Suyuns, they were shocked while being dissatisfied. It was as if she was bullying Chen Suyun. After all, in their eyes, the Sky Deer Goddess was strong and wanted to oppress Chen Suyun, who was much weaker than her.
Many were angered at this moment after Xiao Yangs instigation. They couldnt help but be exasperated towards the Sky Deer Goddess.
However, many rational people felt that there was more to the matter than meets the eye. If the Sky Deer Goddess truly intended to use her cultivation to oppress Chen Suyun, the Mountain Elders wouldnt have stayed aside and allowed this to happen. Much less arrange for a battle to take place here.
As a result, the matter had very much to do with Chen Suyun herself.
Of course, some thought that the Mountain Elders refused to intervene because they were petrified of the mysterious young man next to the Sky Deer Goddess.
Soon, amidst their discussions, a divine rainbow emerged from the sky and turned into an indifferent woman.
It was Chen Suyun. Among the disciples of Nine Great Mountains, she had a prestigious reputation, which was why all the disciples fell silent as she swept past them.
The grievances that Chen Suyun and the Sky Deer Goddess have are beyond our control.
Looking at her, I think shes given things a good thought since she looks so calm.
Several blurry figures stood tall on the high platform, their bodies radiating a form of energy that made it feel like they were in a distant world. It was the Mountain Elders from the Nine Great Mountains. As they spoke, their gazes fell on Chen Suyun. They felt that there were no changes in her cultivation level.
Eldest Senior Sister On the other side, Xiao Yang was closely observing the situation with a solemn expression. Although he had already sought help from the Second Mountain Elder, he still wanted to help his Eldest Senior Sister. The Second Mountain Elder had also promised to give Chen Suyun something so that could protect herself at the most crucial moment.
Even so, Xiao Yang was not confident in Chen Suyuns chances.
Sky Deer Goddess was a true Daoist, so if she were to make a move, she could easily kill Chen Suyun with just a finger.
[If something happens to the Eldest Senior Sister, I wont let you off the hook even if you are the Sky Deer Goddess], Xiao Yang whispered in his heart as he paid attention to the west. Waiting for the Sky Deer Goddess to show up.
*Boom!* It was at this moment when everyone noticed a group arriving from the west. They couldnt resist noticing the eye-catching light.
A Golden Rune was spreading itself from somewhere in the distance right to the battlefield. On it was a Golden Lotus with flowers that were in full bloom. One by one, each petal was crystal clear; it was as if a Dao Flower was in bloom.
A man and a woman dressed in all white with fluttering sleeves stood on the Golden Lotus. They looked extremely matching, as if they were an immortal couple.
The Sky Deer Goddess alighted from the Golden Lotus and made her way to the battlefield. She had a flawless face and was taller than her peers by a head. There was also a saintly aura to her, as if she was an unstained fairy that had descended from heaven.
The moment that she appeared, it attracted the attention of all the disciples. This was the first time that they saw Sky Deer Goddess in person and their surprise was reflected in their eyes.
Yet, there were others observing Gu Changge as they wanted to know who this mysterious young man was. They were curious as to his identity since he could accompany someone with a noble status like the Sky Deer Goddess.
The Mountain Elders did not dare to ignore him. For the past few days, although some disciples had gone to the Third Mountain to have a peek, they had failed in their mission and turned away.
The young mans bodyguard was in the Quasi-Nirvana Master, and was wearing a battle suit. He had a terrifying strength, which frightened people so much that they did not dare to approach him.
Behind Gu Changge were the Third Mountain Elder, Gu Wudi, and the others, who also showed up to watch the battle together.
Thats the mysterious young man? What is his background? He gives me a dangerous feeling. A Mountain Elder stared at Gu Changge, in doubt.
The rest of the Mountain Elders had different expressions as they thought in their hearts, [We have lived for years and even saw the changes that the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains experienced. Weve seen so many different kinds of prodigies. This is our first time seeing someone who is so unfathomable.]
If the Sky Deer Goddess hadnt accompanied him, they would suspect that Gu Changge was from the Upper Realm.
Master, do you think the Eldest Senior Sister has any chance of winning? Xiao Yang was next to the Second Mountain Elder, frowning. He looked at Gu Changge, then at Sky Deer Goddess, and he couldnt help but ask.
When it came to Gu Changge, Xiao Yang did not know who he was and had no intention of wanting to make his acquaintance either. However, the mans deep and terrifying aura combined with his aloof and overbearing expression left Xiao Yang uncomfortable.
When he heard Xiao Yangs words, the Second Mountain Elder turned away from Gu Changge and shook his head while saying, She doesnt have a chance of winning, but I think I can at least help save her life.
It was not that he was pessimistic about Chen Suyun, but there was such an obviously large gap between her and the Sky Deer Goddess cultivation level.
His main focus was still on Gu Changge. This was a young man that even he couldnt see through. Whether it was his aura or power, they were mysteries that the Second Mountain Elder found difficult to fathom.
No wonder the Third Mountain Elder is cautious in his movement and does not dare ignore him The Second Mountain Elder took another look at Gu Changge.
Youre not optimistic about Eldest Senior Sister, Master? Xiao Yangs frown deepened because there was indeed a gap between the Quasi-Nirvana Realm and Nirvana Realm. [Now, it seems like I can only hope she wont get too injured.]
I havent seen you in so many years, but it looks like you are living well. Outside the battlefield, Sky Deer Goddess looked at Chen Suyun, who was opposite her, with a faint smile. She looked like a Buddha Lotuselegant, supple, and graceful.
Chen Suyun commented with a complicated expression, I didnt expect you to turn out this way.
She couldnt help but glance at Gu Changee, who was not far away, and sighed.
Oh, what changes have I gone through in your eyes? The Sky Deer Goddess still smiled and mentioned, as if she reminisced about the past with her.
In the past, you would never seek help from a man, even if it was in the name of revenge. Its because you were just that proud and confident Chen Suyun felt that her current Junior Sister would not hesitate to seek the assistance of others if it meant avenging her. In addition, her current personality was quite different from the Junior Sister she knew. She would not have believed that this person was her Junior Sister if it wasnt for the fact that the Sky Deer Goddess still had the same features.
Looks like you still dont know me well enough. Changge treats me kindly. There was a faint smile on the Sky Deer Goddess face, which made her look sacred and detached.
Really? Then, its time we resolve our grudges. Chen Suyuns expression was gloomy as her figure flashed to enter the battlefield in front of her. She was ready to fight to the death.
The Sky Deer Goddess was not in a hurry as she turned to look at Gu Changge and blinked at him. Changge, Ill do as you say.
Such a scene left the Mountain Elders shocked and they couldnt help but look at Gu Changge with the feeling that the situation was even more complicated.
However, Gu Changges expression did not change much. He was still standing on the Golden Rune and did not make any attempts to alight from it. As he looked down, he looked indifferent and calm.
[This Fortuitous One is associated with the color purple] He thought and withdrew his gaze from Xiao Yang.
It was his first time meeting Xiao Yang, and it could only be said that he was not disappointed.
There were seven colours of Fortuity: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple. Green was the rarest colour and even Jiang Chen, who was reincarnated with the Artifact Spirit Celestial Boat of Creation, only had the colour purple.
[The Fortuity that Xiao Yang now has is at the purple stage. Although it is translucent, it is still a solid purple.]
After she spoke, Sky Deer Goddess figure flickered as she entered the ancient battlefield.
There was a hazy fog in the air that was mixed with Chaos Mist. It was as if she had arrived at the creation of the universe with no end in sight.
Large stars floated in the sky and weaved about. Even the debris from shattered artifacts could be seen with the divine power so strong that it could injure even a Sacred Emperor Realm Being.
The ancient battlefield had existed for ages and was large enough to accommodate those who had become True Daoist. It looked like it was formed after an ancient universe was refined.
As soon as they entered, there was a display of Secret Techniques.
Chen Suyins strength in the Quasi-Nirvana Realm. was evident as she summoned her own artifact. It was a Purple Dome that had an endless radiance to it. It dazzled like the stars as it rapidly enlarged to look like a small mountain floating in the air. The radiance from it looked as if it could pierce through the universe and cause stars to tremble and shatter at any moment.
Yet, the Sky Deer Goddess expression remained unchanged. With a wave of her sleeve, a divine light emerged to form a sword energy that went towards Chen Suyun.
*Buzz!* In the next moment, Chen Suyuns Purple Dome erupted with a dazzling light as it attempted to resist the sword energy. As a result, there were frightening cracks as it almost shattered under the sword energys attack.
Chen Suyun coughed up blood as she was sent flying after being severely injured. Although it was just a single exchange with the Sky Deer Goddess, she was already defeated with her life in great danger.
Senior Sister, youre already down after that one exchange. You never fail to disappoint me.
Sky Deer Goddess was still calm. With another flick of her sleeve, the terrifying divine light was converted into a sword energy that directly pierced through Chen Suyuns body. Chen Suyun incessantly coughed up blood, her body collapsing as the thick Bloodmist filled the air.
Such a scene caused Xiao Yangs eyes to redden as he waited outside the ancient battlefield. He clenched his fists and rose to his full height, unable to suppress his anger as he yelled, Stop it!
The Sky Deer Goddess ignored him, as if she had never heard what he said. She obviously did not intend to kill Chen Suyun with such ease. Her divine light was not fatal enough but it was enough to make Chen Suyun cough up blood with each attack. Her injuries were so bad that she couldnt afford to stand.
