Chapter 561: There is a hint of love and hatred, The a.s.sa.s.sination
“It’s okay, it was just a small conflict.” Gu Changge smiled slightly and shook his head to conclude the situation.
Although there were many doubts within the hearts of everyone who saw this, they could only choose to keep it in their hearts at this time and did not ask any more questions.
Suddenly, a jade pot suddenly flew out from the depths of the demonic cloud and landed directly in the hands of the Old Qinglong.
“Cut that rock.” Chan Hongyi’s voice sounded.
Seeing this scene, everyone immediately understood that Gu Changge still lent one hundred Immortal Spirits to the Red Demon, so why did the two fight just now?
“Yes, master,” The Old Qinglong said respectfully. He didn’t dare to look at what was in the jade pot in his hand and directly handed it over to the old man with the white beard.
“Young Master Changge is really generous.” The white-bearded old man and the others naturally knew what was in the jade pot, and their eyes were a little hot.
After taking the jade pot, they inspected it as before and nodded with satisfaction. Then they handed over the ominous stone to the group from Demonic Mountain.
“The ominous stone…” With a slightly apprehensive expression, Old Qinglong looked at the pitch-black stone in front of him and tried to cut it open without talking nonsense.
At this moment, everyone was also quite curious. They looked over and wanted to know what was hidden in the ominous stone. And soon, in the hands of the Old Qinglong, a silver knife emerged, which seemed to be cast from Immortal Silver, buzzing and sharp.
With a wave of his sleeve, he sealed off the void around him and then carefully began to cut stone. He was also a famous figure in the major stone gambling workshops during a certain period, so he was no stranger to stone-cutting methods.
Not long after, pieces of stone chips fell down one after another, mixed with a strong black light as if they were soaked and corroded by the ominous aura. The black light erupting from it became even more intense, and even the pervasive demonic energy flooded in all directions with a terrifying corrosive aura. Ordinary cultivators dared not approach.
Buzz!!
Accompanied by a clear crack sound, the silver knife in the hands of Qinglong seemed to touch something as fine cracks appeared on the surface before breaking.
“Something emerged from the Ominous Stone…” A sect leader stared at the past with fixed eyes, only to see a dense black light emerging from the inside of the unknown stone.
Everyone looked over without taking their eyes off, for fear of missing something by mistake. The black light turned dense as it lingered to become a light cl.u.s.ter.
A wooden comb the size of a palm was quietly suspended within it. It seemed to be made of an unknown type of wood, and was tainted with a very strong ominous aura. The edge part seemed to be a little incomplete, with some bloodstains, extremely old.
“What… the thing in the unknown stone is just a wooden comb?” This scene shocked everyone, it was unbelievable.
Even Qinglong, who was cutting stones, was stunned all of a sudden, and the movements of his hands stopped.
In their view, what was hidden in this ominous stone would definitely be a peerless monster, and it would bring ominous things to the cultivators of life. That was why they were so cautious. But who would have thought that there would be a broken wooden comb in it? This completely exceeded everyone’s expectations.
“This wooden comb is extremely old, and it definitely has a history that surpa.s.ses many epochs!”
“The blood stained on it is of unknown origin…”
Many from the older generation added their comments in a serious voice, feeling that this wooden comb was not simple at all. It was intertwined with laws and rules, and even in some respects, it was even rarer than innate things.
And the most important thing was the blood on this wooden comb, which probably came from a certain Supreme being! A streak of blood had caused the unexplained encounter with Huanxi Sacred Land.
How terrifying was that Supreme being?
And just when everyone was astonished, the wooden comb suddenly broke away from the stone, turned into a black light, and flew toward Chan Hong Yi in the depths of the demonic cloud.
“Could it be that this wooden comb belongs to the Red Demon, is it her original thing?”
This scene made everyone even more shocked, and stormy waves set off in their hearts.
“It turned out to be this thing.” Gu Changge shook his head lightly.
He naturally recognized this wooden comb, to be precise, this wooden comb still came from him. This was a gift from him to Chan Hong Yi. But the memory fragments were too messy and complicated, and he couldn’t remember when he gave them to her.
It seemed to be… Chan Hong Yi’s first gift after she killed the bandits.
“I haven’t seen you for a long time…”
In the depths of the Demonic Cloud, Chan Hong Yi looked at the mutilated wooden comb in her hand, and she carefully put it away with a flash of relief in her eyes. While speaking, she looked toward the outside world, as if she could see Gu Changge looking at her.
“Master… Why are you so cruel?” The corners of her mouth whispered these words softly.
“The Immortal King who fell in Mount Kun back then… Maybe he has a lot to do with the Red Demon. Could it be that he was killed by her?”
“The strength of the Red Demon at her peak is unimaginable…”
The white-bearded old man and a group of Enlightened beings looked at each other, seeing shock and fear in each other’s eyes as they guessed who the blood stained on the wooden comb belonged to.
After all, there was an Immortal King who fell in Mount Kun back then. Although the time was too long, it could be studied and conclusive evidence could be found.
Soon, the news of the Red Demon’s arrival to Kunwu City with everyone from the Demonic Mountain, caused quite a stir. The news about the incision of the unknown stone caused a sensation in the entire Kunwu City in an instant.
The surrounding ancient cities immediately heard the news of this place. The forces in Kunwu City also quickly spread the news of this place. At this Divine Stone Conference, the Immortal Fetus was cut open.
The ominous stone, which represented the unknown, was also cut open. This was beyond the expectations of many people. The most important thing was that Gu Changge spent one hundred Immortal Spirits to cut the two stones.
The Red Demon even borrowed Immortal Spirits from Gu Changge to cut stones in front of everyone. The waves caused by this news were not at all smaller than the previous news.
Many forces and sects were speculating about the relationship between Gu Changge and the Red Demon. All kinds of theories had been spread, and the most recognized one was that during the battle in the Divine City, Gu Changge and the Red Demon probably reached some kind of agreement.
This also explained why the Red Demon’s att.i.tude toward Gu Changge was different from the rest. The discussion caused by this matter was no less than the matter of cutting out a Heavenly Book from the Immortal Fetus.
Of course, they were concerned about what was recorded in the Heavenly Book, which was the matter of the various forces. Ordinary cultivators knew that this matter had little to do with them, so they all appeared to be gossiping, guessing about the connection between Gu Changge and the Red Demon.
After all, the most indispensable thing in this world was to gossip about people who would eat melons.
Gu Changge now had various t.i.tles such as the strongest person of his generation in the Upper Realm, Leader of the Upper Realm, and many others. His every move could cause thousands of storms.
This time, his negotiation with the Red Demon had a hint of love and hatred in the eyes of many people.
A genius of the heavens, a peerless and ferocious monster who came from an unknown era. It was said that she was so beautiful that she would disturb the world and turn all living beings upside down. As soon as this topic emerged, there was a trend that couldn’t be stopped. A group of young beings was very interested in it.
In the palace, the Heavenly Book cut out of the Immortal Fetus appeared in Gu Changge’s hand. On the silver pages of the book, there was brilliance, and the ancient characters were manifesting one by one. He didn’t care about all kinds of rumors and discussions of the outside world.
After Chan Hong Yi took back her own wooden comb, she left with everyone from Demon Mountain and did not stay in Kunwu City. This made everyone in Kunwu City breathe a sigh of relief.
However, in the past few days, the changes in Mount Kun had become more and more serious. The powerful people from the Ji clan and all ethnic groups had gathered here to prepare for the invasion of Mount Kun.
If Gu Changge’s guess was correct, three days later, the Ji family would invade Mount Kun with troops. This was also an opportunity for him.
Afterward, Gu Changge tried to flip through the Heavenly Book and open it, but it was as fruitless as before. A strong force directly erupted from it, almost knocking the Heavenly Book out of his hand.
Even in his current state, it was difficult to open it. After studying it for a while, he whispered the handwriting on it and vaguely felt that he should have seen this Heavenly Book somewhere.
“Immortal Seal…” But there was no doubt about another point, this Heavenly Book not only hid a certain secret but could also be used as a treasure such as sealing.
If Gu Changge guessed correctly, the word “Immortal Seal” should belong to an Immortal Scripture. He could use these two immortal scripts as a means of attack for the divine power contained in them was not simple.
Of course, given his current strength, he didn’t really need such a method.
“My lord, according to your instructions, I have already recruited several famous people who have studied the scripts of the Shadow Immortal lineage, and I am asking them to translate that sword technique all night.” Yin Mei arrived from outside the palace.
Gu Changge came back to his senses, nodded, and asked, “How’s the progress?”
“In about three days, they should be able to translate that sword technique,” Yin Mei replied.
Gu Changge nodded slightly. Naturally, he would not take out the complete sword technique, but just intercept a part of it and ask others to translate it. In the end, he could integrate it.
“By the way, have the a.s.sa.s.sins of the Spring Breeze Pavilion made arrangements?”
Immediately, he thought of something else and narrowed his eyes.
“My lord, I have already told Bai Lian’er about this matter. She has arranged for five a.s.sa.s.sins in the Great Sacred Realm and one a.s.sa.s.sin in the Quasi-Supreme Realm to make a move today.” Yin Mei replied respectfully.
“The protector behind Xiao Zhanxian only has Supreme Realm strength. I have arranged for people to hold him back. It will only take half a quarter of an hour, and Xiao Zhanxian will definitely die.”
Gu Changge nodded, “Don’t leave any traces, I’m still very relieved with you doing things.”
Various forces in the current Upper Realm were extremely jealous of him, so it was not easy for him to attack Xiao Zhanxian on the surface. Otherwise, for the rest of the forces, this would be a good excuse to attack him in groups.
But secretly, it was much easier for him to arrange for an a.s.sa.s.sin to deal with Xiao Zhanxian. Judging from what happened at the Divine Stone Conference, Xiao Zhanxian obviously already knew Su Qingge’s ident.i.ty.
For Gu Changge, it was better to solve such a hidden danger first. After the Divine Stone Conference was over, all ethnic groups would relax a little bit, and Xiao Zhanxian must not have thought that Gu Changge would attack him.
As for the War Immortal Mansion behind Xiao Zhanxian, Gu Changge had plenty of means to get rid of it. With that, Gu Changge sent someone to find Ji Yaoxing and Ji Chu Yue. This time when they attacked Mount Kun, Jiang Chen could still use his last remaining heat.
In terms of Ji Yaoxing’s nature, he would never let go of such a good opportunity.
Gu Changge could also try to see if he could s.n.a.t.c.h the Good Fortune Immortal Boat from Jiang Chen’s body. After all, after warming up for such a period of time, the spirit of the Immortal Boat had almost recovered.
Soon, footsteps could be heard outside the palace, and Ji Chu Yue and Ji Yaoxing, who looked a little worried, rushed over. For the entire Ji family, Gu Changge was now a great benefactor.
Without Gu Changge’s call, it was unlikely that other forces would help the Ji family rescue their Ancestor this time. So when she learned that Gu Changge had something to discuss with them, even if Ji Chu Yue was unwilling, she could only bite the bullet and come here.
