Just as the cultivators from the various orthodoxies were discussing …
A gigantic golden palm came crashing down with a rumbling sound, intending to cover the entire palace below. Immediately, a gray mist erupted.
The concealment formation there was instantly broken, revealing the scene in the main hall.
Gu Changge had also arrived at this moment.
His expression was extremely cold, and his killing intent was monstrous. He said coldly, "How dare you try to kill in front of the Longevity Gu Clan? You're courting death."
After saying that, he frowned and looked at the two people who were fighting with a murderous expression.
"Young Master Changge! What's going on? "
At this moment, many cultivators nearby had also arrived and looked at the sky in shock.
Then, someone asked Gu Changge. It was a young genius from the Longevity Wang Clan.
"What?! Someone wants to assassinate my sister? "
Wang Wushuang arrived. Shock, anger, murderous intent, and many other emotions were intertwined on his face.
The murderous intent in his pale golden eyes made one's heart palpitate.
"I'm not too sure about this either. I just arrived."
Hearing that, Gu Changge's expression did not look too good, but he maintained his calm. There was also coldness and murderous intent.
Then, he looked at the sky. An inexplicable look flashed across his eyes, but no one noticed it.
At this moment, no one thought that there was anything wrong with Gu Changge's expression.
After all, this kind of thing happened in the Longevity Gu Clan's territory, and it happened during Gu Changge's mother's birthday banquet.
It was normal for him to be so angry.
"This person is too bold. No one can save him today."
Soon, Gu Changge's expression calmed down. His words contained a murderous intent that made people tremble.
Although it was not directed at them.
However, many people couldn't help but shudder.
Rumble!
At this moment, on the other side of the sky, divine chains intertwined and were about to descend.
They were densely packed and extremely shocking. They could cover all the cultivators and crush them into ashes.
The tall Great Sage avatars fought, and their auras were earth-shattering. With a raise of their hands, even the mountains were turned into dust. They looked incomparably small, causing countless cultivators to tremble.
Chi!
Streaks of divine rainbows pierced through the air!
In the Gu Clan's inner island, many Gu Clan experts and young geniuses were also rushing over.
Unexpectedly, someone would dare to take action right under the Longevity Gu Family's nose at a time like this. That was simply looking down on the Longevity Gu Family.
"This person is simply courting death!"
The expressions of many of the Gu Clan's experts turned extremely cold. They looked at the figure wrapped in black light as if they were looking at a dead man.
Immediately, many people began to attack, wanting to kill the black figure. Great Saint-level fluctuations quickly swept in all directions, shocking many of the guests.
The existence of Great Sage Realm was the cornerstone of any orthodoxy. It didn't matter which orthodoxy or great sect it belonged to.
Ordinary old monsters and monsters had not even reached this realm.
And yet, so many auras had appeared in the Longevity Gu Clan all of a sudden. This could only mean … that the Longevity Gu Clan's foundation was truly astonishing.
"Fortunately, I made it in time. Is Miss Zijin alright?"
At this moment, Gu Changge also took a step forward and entered the main hall.
He looked at Zijin, who was covered in blood and appeared very weak and pale. He could not help but show concern on his face.
With this opportunity to rescue her, Zijin sat there cross-legged. Her perfect and calm face was unusually pale and bloodless.
But strands of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi seemed to have turned into a vortex and surged toward her body, wanting to heal her injuries.
This state was very strange. Even every cell had become the color of an immortal spirit, bright and sparkling.
This was the special part of her body.
After so many years, the immortal spirit will had become more and more obvious. Every cell carried the immortal spirit Qi, sacred and dazzling.
She heard Gu Changge's voice coming to her rescue.
Wang Zijin could not help but open her eyes. Although she still looked weak, her complexion was much better.
Only she knew how she had survived this difficult battle with so many means. Ordinary Quasi-Saints would have been destroyed in body and soul at the first moment, dissipating into the world.
Thanks to her Dharma Artifacts and many means, she was not seriously injured.
"Brother Gu …"
Looking at Gu Changge, Wang Zijin smiled slightly, and some color seemed to have returned to her face.
"I'm fine now, this injury is nothing …"
But as she spoke, some blood could not help but flow out of the corner of her mouth. Then, her body swayed slightly, and she was about to fall.
Seeing this, Gu Changge's eyes flashed slightly. With quick reflexes, he quickly caught her.
Wang Zijin's eyes flashed with a hint of a smile, and she fell into his arms with a very weak expression.
"Thank you, Brother Gu, for coming to my rescue. But if you were one step slower, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to see me again."
She said in a low voice, looking very scared.
She saw Gu Changge's concerned expression just now, and naturally knew … that it was fake.
After all, no matter how good the act was, there was no warmth in his eyes.
In Wang Zijin's view, Gu Changge obviously had two major motives for coming to her rescue so quickly.
First, such a big matter had happened to the Longevity Gu Clan. If it was not handled properly, their reputation would be ruined.
If she unfortunately died here, and the Longevity Gu Clan did not notice at all … then they would definitely take the blame. At that time, it would definitely cause hatred between the Longevity Gu Clan and the Longevity Wang Clan.
As the Young Master, Gu Changge would definitely not be happy to see such a situation. Other than showing his concern, he must have rushed over so quickly to make sure that she was fine.
Wang Zijin's injuries were actually no longer a problem, but at this time, she just could not help but want to tease Gu Changge.
If she did not use some tricks, it would be difficult to move such a cold and emotionless person.
Wang Zijin felt that with her current pitiful appearance, as long as it was a man, he would not be able to help but be moved.
She was very confident in her appearance. Whether it was in her previous life or this life, there was nothing to say about her appearance.
Maybe Gu Changge would also have some reaction.
"Today's matter was due to the Gu Clan's negligence. I also bear a lot of responsibility, so I am very sorry. Later, I will compensate Miss Zijin one by one for these losses ~. "
Gu Changge looked at Wang Zijin, who had fallen into his arms. He seemed to be stunned and did not react.
But soon, his expression returned to normal as he said guiltily.
With his eyesight, he could naturally see that Wang Zijin's injuries had more or less healed in this short period of time. Her surging vitality could be said to be abnormal.
But he was too lazy to care … He knew that she might have some thoughts about him.
Gu Changge had always been dismissive of this.
However, in order to maintain the image that he had created in front of Wang Zijin, he chose to change the topic and not expose her.
If he responded to Wang Zijin like this, it would inevitably make her suspicious, which would be detrimental to Gu Changge's future plans.
In any case, he was already familiar with this kind of thing.
Whether it was Yue Mingkong or Gu Xian 'er, everything that they saw was what Gu Changge wanted them to see.
Seeing that Gu Changge did not respond, he changed the topic instead.
Wang Zijin was not surprised. Gu Changge was not acting like a man of steel. He was purely not interested in her.
He seemed to treat people gently and politely, but was actually cold to the bone.
In her opinion, this act of saving a beauty was very lacking in sincerity.
"Brother Gu, do you know who wanted to assassinate me tonight?"
Wang Zijin asked with a slightly more serious expression.
Gu Changge glanced at her and said thoughtfully, "Someone from the inheritor of the demonic arts?"
"Brother Gu is right. Perhaps my identity has already been discovered, so he sent his subordinates to hide in the dark with the intention of taking the opportunity to kill me. But fortunately, my luck was not bad. This Great Saint existence who wanted to kill me underestimated him, so I delayed him for so long … "
Wang Zijin said with a slight smile. She had never thought that this matter would be related to Gu Changge in front of her.
Moreover, from the Great Saint existence's mouth, she also heard that his next target was Gu Changge.
Therefore, in her opinion, Gu Changge was the same as her, a target that the inheritor of the demonic arts had to eliminate.
She did not think in other directions.
"This is also the reason why Miss Zijin's cultivation is so strong. An ordinary person would not be able to delay for so long."
Gu Changge said and looked deeply at Wang Zijin.
There was a hidden meaning in his words.
Wang Zijin also knew that she could not hide her cultivation from Gu Changge, not to mention her identity. Gu Changge had already guessed it.
Compared to Gu Changge, she was the one who could not see through him.
Gu Changge looked much more mysterious than her.
"The inheritor of the demonic arts has become so arrogant that he dared to send someone to infiltrate my Gu Family. Compared to Ye Ling last time, the Great Sage who has appeared today has reached such a level of cultivation. It's simply inconceivable …"
"It seems that my guess was not wrong. There should be some organization behind the inheritor of the demonic arts."
Gu Changge sighed slightly when he heard this. He looked like he was having a headache over this matter.
Wang Zijin nodded.
She had also heard this from Gu Changge, and now it seemed that it was indeed confirmed.
At this time, Wang Zijin spoke again.
"Moreover, I suspect that Ye Ling, whom Brother Gu fought previously, is not the true inheritor of the demonic arts … He's just a pawn. With his ability, it's obviously impossible for him to order a Great Saint existence to do things for him …"
The reason why she thought so was because the Great Saint Stage existence who was shrouded in shadows had said the word "Master" at that time.
What did this mean?
It meant that there was a greater origin behind him, a more terrifying figure.
Even if the insignificant Ye Ling obtained this taboo inheritance, it was impossible for him to have such a subordinate in an instant.
"Oh, there's such a thing. Ye Ling was just a pawn back then?"
Gu Changge looked a little surprised when he heard this. He then frowned and said, "Ye Ling hasn't continued to appear until now. It's difficult to determine whether he's dead or alive …"
"It's no longer important whether Ye Ling is alive or dead. What's important now is to find out the true identity of the inheritor of the demonic arts and the organization behind him."
Wang Zijin nodded when she heard this. Her eyes were cold.
Due to her identity, she was born to be on the opposite side of the inheritor of the demonic arts.
However, she was still very unhappy that he had sent a powerhouse to assassinate her.
An indescribable murderous intent rose in her. She wanted nothing more than to find the real mastermind behind this and cut him into pieces.
The conversation between the two was overheard by the cultivators who came from all over. They could not help but change their expressions slightly.
From this conversation, many young prodigies guessed Wang Zijin's identity. Their expressions changed abruptly, and they no longer dared to be as casual as before.
Compared to the reverence they had for Gu Changge.
Wang Zijin's identity was a kind of admiration and reverence for the Human Ancestor. It was a different concept.
If one were to describe it in detail, this difference was like the difference between reverence for ancient ancestors and reverence for current powerhouses.
"No wonder Wang Zijin was targeted. It turns out that her identity is actually the successor of the Human Ancestor Hall …" Ye Langtian could not help but sigh deeply. He had not expected this at all.
"Even the successor of the Human Ancestor Hall has appeared. I'm afraid this golden era has begun."
The rest of the young Supremes, regardless of gender, had complicated looks in their eyes.
"It seems that the person who assassinated her should be related to the inheritor of the demonic arts … Sss, now even a Great Saint has appeared. It's getting more and more restless!"
"I just don't know if the Human Ancestor will return this time. If the Human Ancestor is here, there's still hope for this era."
Many cultivators and powerhouses of the older generation thought in their hearts. After all, they also hoped that the cultivation world could be peaceful.
The Human Ancestor was the only one who could give them peace and stability.
To the Human Race, the Human Ancestor's significance was extraordinary.
Human Ancestor, Heavenly Emperor, Earthly King, Celestial Emperor … In ancient times, there were too many ancient existences with many titles. No one knew what their cultivation level was.
The reason for that was because these titles were not based on their cultivation. Instead, they were based on their great contributions to all living beings. To different races, these titles held different meanings.
Even the Human Ancestor had different branches, such as the Xuanyuan Human Ancestor, the Jiang Human Ancestor, and so on …
Today, these branches had disappeared, and only the name of Ren Zu was passed down.
The Heavenly Monarch of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races was actually a title of respect for the Ten Thousand Ancient Races because only a handful of existences had the title of Heavenly Monarch since time immemorial.
For example, the Victorious Emperor, the Defeated Emperor, the Holy Emperor …
However, without exception, they were all extremely talented individuals. No one could say for sure what their cultivation levels were. Even if one was a True Immortal, or even someone above the True Immortal Realm, they would not necessarily be able to win against them.
With the great merit of all living beings, they would be worshipped day and night. Even after death, their bodies would be surrounded by endless sounds of worship. Even if they fell into the darkness, they would be brought back!
From this, one could see how terrifying they were.
In different eras, there were very few existences who could be recognized by all living beings as such.
Boom!
While everyone was discussing animatedly and expressing their shock at what had happened tonight, the astonishing battle in the sky finally came to an end.
Terrifying fluctuations swept through the sky and earth.
Even if the stronger existences of the Longevity Gu Clan did not make a move, there was no suspense in this battle.
Under the siege of many Great Sage experts of the Gu Clan, the figure enveloped by the dense black runes let out an earth-shattering roar as if he knew that there was no chance of survival.
Boom!
In the next moment, he was like a small black sun that suddenly expanded and became bigger. Black runes circulated within him, erupting with a light that made everyone's heart palpitate!
At the critical moment, he chose to self-destruct!
How terrifying would the self-destruction of a Great Saint be?
In an instant, everyone's expression changed, and their Divine Souls trembled. Some of them even felt their legs go weak, and they directly fell to the ground.
"He won't be able to escape," Wang Zijin said softly, looking very calm.
Buzz!
At this moment, in the inner island of the Gu Clan, there was a light cough, as if embarrassed that they had made a move a little late.
Then!
A huge palm appeared, covering the sky and earth. It seemed as if the sky and earth were being destroyed, and the universe was being reborn!
Runes flowed, multicolored light flickered, and chaotic energy fluctuated, as if galaxies were condensing there one after another.
The momentum was monstrous, shaking the world.
The terrifying fluctuations of self-destruction instantly calmed down.
After a moment of silence, there was a shocking sound of people inhaling cold air.
"The fluctuations of the attack … I'm afraid it's not just a Quasi-Supreme. Could it be a Supreme?"
"Hiss!"
"This Gu Clan is terrifying. So many Great Sage cultivators appeared in an instant, and now a Supreme has made a move to destroy everything."
A Quasi-Supreme was already the foundation of each orthodoxy, and a true Supreme was definitely a walking legend.
Of all the cultivators present, this was the first time they had seen a Supreme in action. This palm seemed to be able to cover the universe, and it was so powerful that it made people's scalps go numb, and they trembled to the extreme.
"What a pity. He chose to self-destruct and didn't leave behind any useful information …"
Seeing this, Gu Changge shook his head regretfully. "The Great Ancestor took too long to make a move, but if a Great Sage wants to self-destruct, it's hard to stop him."
Hearing this, Wang Zijin shook her head and said, "Even if he's suppressed, I'm afraid he won't be able to get any useful information. Even if he dares to assassinate me, he must have thought of a plan behind the scenes. It's impossible that he didn't think of this. "
Gu Changge smiled and said, "Miss Zijin, you're right. I'm thinking too much."
He looked in the direction of the aftermath, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
Of course, this self-destruction was his order.
However, Gu Changge still had a trick up his sleeve. After all, this kind of puppet had extremely strong regenerative abilities. As long as it was not completely destroyed, there was a chance for it to be restored.
At this time, he only needed to send people to guard that place, and let the cultivators of each orthodoxy sense its aura, thus achieving his goal of setting up a formation.
At the same time, he would be able to retrieve the puppet core from the shattered runes.
After it was repaired, it could be used again in the future.
Soon, as Gu Changge had expected, many experts soared into the sky and rushed to the sky to verify the identity of the person who had left behind the ripples.
By now, many people already knew Wang Zijin's identity.
The Human Ancestor's Hall had a transcendent status.
No one dared to offend them.
Who would attack Wang Zijin for no reason? The Changsheng Gu Clan? How could this be? If something happened to Wang Zijin in the Changsheng Gu Clan, the Changsheng Gu Clan would definitely be the first to take the blame.
They couldn't wait to protect her, so why would they send someone to kill her?
Therefore, many people thought of the inheritor of demonic arts. For a moment, a layer of haze hung over everyone's head.
The ones who were attacked previously were the younger generation.
However, the one who appeared now was a Great Sage cultivator. What did this mean? It was self-evident.
Even many important figures felt a chill run down their backs at this time, and a bad feeling rose in them.
They sensed a threat.
"Behind the inheritor of demonic arts, I'm afraid it's just as Young Master Changge guessed back then. There's an organization …" Many people guessed in their hearts, especially the younger generation. Now, they were in awe of Gu Changge to the extreme.
His words were no different from an oracle.
Soon, Gu Changge also arrived in the sky. He closed his eyes and, like the other powerhouses, seemed to be perceiving the aftermath of the battle just now to determine its origin.
However, he was looking for the location of the puppet core, intending to quietly take it away.
"This aura … If I'm not wrong … it seems to be the secret skill of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain …"
At this time, an old antique with a very high seniority suddenly exclaimed. His closed eyes suddenly opened, and he was incomparably shocked.
His words also caused the other powerhouses nearby to open their eyes, revealing shock and disbelief.
For a moment, the place even quieted down.
Gu Changge also found the puppet core and quietly put it into his inner world.
He also opened his eyes and sighed slightly. "This remnant battle aura is exactly the same as Ye Ling's when I fought with him that day. The two seem to be of the same origin."
There was no need for him to say this. Many old antiques also sensed it. They obviously had some understanding of the forbidden demonic arts and would not judge the aura wrongly.
In the sky, more and more cultivators rushed over, and the atmosphere became very heavy.
Seeing this, Gu Changge smiled meaningfully. This scapegoat was temporarily put on hold.
