Chapter 642: I killed him, The reappearance of the gray fog in the World
The black mist was as heavy as a lead cloud with wisps of it diffusing from the depths of the Ancient Xuan ruins, covering the place. A large number of undead heavenly soldiers rushed out from the graves, armed with various heavenly swords, spears, and other weapons as they attacked everyone who offended this place.
This was a terrifying scene, even a Sword Immortal was trembling with fear. They observed how these living dead quickly returned to their original appearance even after being blasted into powder.
With their strength, these living dead could not be destroyed at all. The only thing they could do now was to open up a path leading to the depths during the period when they were about to recover.
Chi, Chi, Chi…
Brilliant and astonishing sword lights intertwined like peerless heavenly swords condensing, crossing the sky before slashing toward the deepest part of this s.p.a.ce.
One could faintly see a blurry phantom flashing there, and there was a shower of blood. It was mixed with gray hairs that arrived from an unknown place, looking ominous and weird.
The rest of the people leading the way ahead were equally timid and uneasy, holding the weapons in their hands tightly, proceeding cautiously.
Not only did they need to avoid the terrifying fog that was sweeping in, but they also had to beware of the weird monsters hidden in the darkness along with the army of many undead.
“It seems that the fluctuations from before originated from the deepest part of this place…” Yi Jianxian held a green longsword, and the glittering brilliance flowed on his sword, filled with the aura of the extreme as it fell forward, shaking away the thick black mist.
He was extremely powerful and as the patriarch of the Shu Sect, he was stronger than the rest. So he took the lead, opened the way first, and found out the danger ahead for everyone behind him.
Snow Sword Immortal followed closely behind, holding a crystal clear ice and snow sword tightly in her hand. The Ice and Snow domain descended around her, which had great resistance to the black mist.
Buzz!!
The shadow of the lingering sword made the sky collapse and the earth dead. The rest of the Sword Immortals also tried their best to survive. And several Enlightened beings from the Upper Realm were following behind them.
The G.o.dly aura beside them were as blazing and vast as the sea, surging out into a terrifying and majestic presence, suppressing everything here. Facing such an unfamiliar environment, they also seemed extremely cautious and did not dare to act rashly, so they let the people in front of them explore the way.
Just when many Sword Immortals were captured to explore the way, at the outermost periphery of the Ancient Xuan ruins, Gu Changge withdrew his gaze from the depths and whispered a word to Alpha who was behind him. With that Alpha’s figure stepped into the void and disappeared in an instant without a trace.
“What did he arrange?” Not far away, Princess Yu Feiya, who had been paying attention to Gu Changge’s actions, also had a slight change in expression.
She felt that Gu Changge seemed to be out of the world, but he also seemed to be in control of everything. This was a very contradictory feeling. She didn’t believe that Gu Changge would come to this world for no reason, just to join in the fun and not partic.i.p.ate in it.
Gu Changge definitely had some unknown secret.
“I wonder if Young Master Changge has seen Tuoba Xiaoyao when he was in this world?”
After thinking about it for a while, Yu Feiya frowned slightly with her beautiful black eyebrows. She moved her lotus steps lightly, bringing a gust of fragrant wind as she walked over, and couldn’t help asking softly.
“Tuoba Xiaoyao?” Gu Changge raised his eyebrows lightly, his eyes fell on her face, then he smiled and said, “Of course, I have seen him, but he is dead now.”
“What?” Great astonishment appeared on Yu Feiya’s face, she didn’t expect Gu Changge to speak about it so bluntly.
She originally thought that Gu Changge would say that he didn’t know, or that he hadn’t seen it before. But Gu Changge said directly that Tuoba Xiaoyao was dead, which really caught her off guard, and she didn’t even think about it.
“Then… Young Master Changge, do you know where he died?” Yu Feiya felt that her mouth was a little dry, but she still couldn’t help asking.
Gu Changge still had a slight smile on his face when he heard the words, he shook his head and said, “He died in the forbidden area of the Jianxuan World, Boundless Immortal Valley…”
“Boundless Immortal Valley?” Yu Feiya was in a daze for a moment, she had naturally heard of such a forbidden place.
In the Jianxuan Great World, it was known as a place from which no one returned. It was shrouded in fog all year round. Even if a Sword Immortal stepped into it, it would be a dead end.
Tuoba Xiaoyao actually died there?
“Young Master Changge, do you know how he died?” Yu Feiya suddenly looked sad, thinking of some past events with Tuoba Xiaoyao.
Gu Changge’s expression still didn’t change much, he just smiled casually and said, “Of course, I know that. After all, I killed him with my own hands. Why? Are you planning to avenge him?”
“What?” Hearing Gu Changge’s understatement, Yu Feiya was stunned for a moment but didn’t react.
After hearing Gu Changge’s words clearly, she couldn’t help being shocked. Her eyes widened in disbelief, and she took a few steps back, almost wondering if she heard it wrong.
“Master Changge, you… You didn’t lie to me, did you?” There was a slight trembling and fear in her voice.
This was rarely seen in Yu Feiya who had always been dignified and elegant. No matter what she encountered before, she always dealt with it calmly and indifferently.
Gu Changge’s face remained unchanged, he glanced at her inexplicably, and said, “Is he worthy enough for me to lie to you about such a trivial matter?”
“No… I don’t dare…” Yu Feiya’s complexion turned pale, and she clenched her plain hands tightly, but she was afraid of Gu Changge’s strength and power, so she could only keep silent and dare not say more.
Even if her father was standing here now, he would not dare to do anything to Gu Changge, let alone her. She just knew that there seemed to be a grievance between Tuoba Xiaoyao and Gu Changge.
But she didn’t know that it had reached the point where Gu Changge would kill him.
Bitterness and powerlessness appeared in Yu Feiya’s heart. She should have figured out long ago why Gu Changge said those words in public in the Great Yu Immortal Palace.
He had wanted to attack Tuoba Xiaoyao for a long time, and now he came to this world of Jianxuan, which happened to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. No one would care about Tuoba Xiaoyao disappearing here, and no one would pursue this matter.
Just like just now, Gu Changge even said in front of her that he killed Tuoba Xiaoyao with his own hands, but what could she do?
Revenge? That was just a fantasy. Such a carefree att.i.tude was the so-called real Gu Changge, not his gentle and elegant appearance.
Ah Qing and Princess Xuandie in the distance had been paying attention to the situation when Yu Feiya stepped toward Gu Changge just now.
Originally, they thought Princess Yu Feiya was also Gu Changge’s admirer. But they didn’t expect her expression at this moment to become so pale, revealing anxiety and fear.
“It seems that Mr. Gu is not so gentle with all women…”
“Then why did he show up to save me? Could it be that I am special to him?”
The scene of Gu Changge appearing to rescue her earlier appeared in Princess Xuandie’s mind, and a rosy look appeared on her face as she began to think wildly in her heart.
Although she also knew that it would be wrong to care about such things when the enemy was in front of her and disasters were about to strike. But she couldn’t help thinking about it.
In the next few days, the black mist in the Ancient Xuan ruins was even more terrifying, sweeping in all directions like a big wave covering the sky and rolling over. Because of the terrifying battle fluctuations in the depths, a terrible earthquake occurred as the ground cracked, and the mountain gate collapsed.
In some places, even ancient altars were revealed, which were incomplete and carved with many formation patterns. There were scenes of the ancestors praying to the sky, surrounded by the bonfire as if they were offering sacrifices.
On some broken totems, one could even see a pair of indifferent and huge eyes floating above the sky, watching all the ancestors praying below. There were too many scenes like this, with a weird and cold feeling, without the slightest holiness.
Many cultivators of extremely old generations in the Jianxuan Great World were caught by the people from the Upper Realm and were asked to study and interpret the meaning of these stone inscriptions.
Some people who had studied the altars were arrested and tried to repair these altars.
In the eyes of many powerhouses in the Upper Realm, these altars contained spatial fluctuations that had not dissipated. It could be seen that in an extremely distant time, there might have been a spatial portal here that connected to a certain s.p.a.ce or world.
Perhaps the Mirror Lake, which had never been seen, had something to do with these altars.
“Looks like you finally found the entrance?” Gu Changge had been standing on the outermost ancient warship, looking at the depths of the ruins below where the black mist was billowing.
Although it was difficult for him to see the deepest scene clearly, he could feel the fluctuations in it. Judging from the magnitude of the fluctuation, it was easy to understand where the people who broke into it had gone.
Of course, the most important thing was that Gu Changge ordered Alpha to follow them in secret. Alpha himself was conceived and born from within the deepest part of the Demon Burying Abyss, and the ominous and strange aura here would not affect him at all.
So the monstrous black mist that everyone feared, to Alpha, was like walking on flat ground.
“It’s about time…” Gu Changge’s eyes moved slightly, and the vast spiritual thought swept away, covering tens of thousands of miles in an instant.
Boom!!
At this moment, almost all the cultivators in the Ancient Xuan ruins felt that there was an inexplicable suppression from the sky and the earth, like an invisible big hand, slowly descending from a distant lat.i.tude.
“What is this? Could it be that some kind of weird change has taken place here?”
Everyone’s complexion changed drastically, and they couldn’t breathe. Then they saw in horror that the sky turned black all of a sudden.
A strange gray fog covered the sky and the sun, sweeping from nowhere. It was even weirder than the black mist that permeated the Ancient Xuan ruins, and it contained a monstrous mechanism that could swallow everything in the world.
This gray mist arrived very quickly, it was extremely turbulent. One couldn’t see the edge, and it submerged the entire Ancient Xuan ruins in one fell swoop. Even the many ancient warships that hovered around were instantly engulfed in it without a trace.
It was an eerie, chilling sight.
At this moment, whether it was the cultivators of the Jianxuan Great World or the army of powerhouses from various forces of the Upper Realm, they were all terrified to the extreme, feeling that their cultivation base, divine power, and soul were all being eliminated and were about to be swallowed up.
This gray fog was representative of ominous, strange, cold, and chaotic. Being in it would not only cause mental collapse but also make people’s bodies dissipate, along with body and spirit.
