"The Divine Prince has fallen …"
When Six Crown King's words sounded, this place immediately became deathly silent. Many people's expressions changed greatly, revealing alarm.
If it was said that just now, there were still some who doubted whether this was real or not, now, it was all confirmed.
After all, it wasn't just the Heavenly Phoenix Maiden who felt this, even the always low-key and mysterious Six Crown King said this.
Was there any other possibility? These two weren't the type of people who would casually speak nonsense.
"This …"
"Could it be that the Divine Prince really fell here … that can't be, right? The Divine Prince is Heavenly Emperor Mountain's inheritor, the Divine Emperor's son, his strength great, trump cards numerous, how could he …"
"The demonic art inheritor set up a trap to kill everyone this time, truly vicious!"
When they heard these words, many heavenly talents were stupefied, their scalps going numb, chills sweeping through their bodies.
Someone couldn't help but mutter, voice trembling.
"Impossible, master is so powerful, even having the protection of the supreme being artifact bestowed by the Divine Emperor, how could he fall here …"
"This is definitely fake, master is definitely still somewhere else, not coming here."
When they heard this, the Divine Prince's followers felt as if they were struck by lightning, stupefied for a long time, their faces pale with fright, even more so in disbelief.
In their eyes, the Divine Prince was destined to be an unmatched existence, someone who would sweep through everything in this world, reach the very peak.
How could he fall under the hands of the demonic art inheritor?
They didn't dare imagine what kind of consequences would happen if Heavenly Emperor Mountain found out about this.
Using heaven shocking waves to describe this wouldn't be an exaggeration.
"Sigh …"
"After all, even young master Changge was seriously injured, so it isn't impossible for the Divine Prince to fall here."
Many people sighed, their eyes heavy, emotions complicated. They all had a premonition of what was going to happen soon.
The higher realms that had been peaceful for a long time would definitely be shaken up again because of this matter.
"Even Gu Changge's strength is like this, it seems like Ying Shuang really isn't someone to be underestimated."
Six Crown King, Heavenly Phoenix Maiden, and the others didn't pay the Divine Prince's followers any more attention. They quickly turned their attention towards Gu Changge, their expressions different. Then, their figures moved, walking over.
"Amitabha, dao brothers came at the right time."
"It's a pity that the Divine Prince has already been killed by the inheritor of the demonic arts …"
On the other side, the Golden Cicada Arhat, who had almost fully recovered from his injuries, also walked over.
When he walked over, his monk robes carried a bit of blood. Buddhist light flickered about. His hands moved together, greeting Six Crown King and the others.
There was a sense of transcendence.
Hearing his words, the young prodigies who still had a lot of hope in their hearts turned gloomy.
"Golden Cicada Arhat, do you know the cause and effect?"
The Heavenly Phoenix Maiden could not help but ask.
She was tall and slender, and her legs were long and straight. She was much taller than the average female cultivator. When she spoke, she gave off an indescribable pressure.
"I know a little. By the time this little monk arrived, the Divine Prince had already been killed. Even Young Master Changge was heavily injured."
"This little monk knows nothing about what happened before this."
Hearing this, the Golden Cicada Bodhisattva smiled faintly and gave a flawless answer.
"Really? Even Golden Cicada Buddha Child did not know what had happened here before. No wonder the Golden Cicada Buddha Child is in such good condition and is not injured. "
A strange look appeared in Six Crown King's eyes as he sized up the Golden Cicada Buddha Child.
In his view, the Golden Cicada Buddha Child's cultivation was at most on the same level as the Divine Prince.
Back then, he had clearly rushed in with the Divine Prince, while Gu Changge was the last to enter.
In the end, the Divine Prince died, Gu Changge was heavily injured, but he was unscathed. Even his injuries were not that serious.
This was truly strange. Either he had hidden his strength well.
Or he had not participated in that great battle and had found a place to hide.
The Golden Cicada Buddha Child's explanation was simply an excuse to not admit that he had sensed danger and chosen to retreat.
Many people thought of this and their expressions changed, but they did not point it out. They all knew what was going on.
The Golden Cicada Buddha Child was not surprised at all. Still smiling, he said, "This little monk also regrets not coming sooner."
Afterward, everyone hurried toward Gu Changge's place of cultivation. However, that mountain range was almost completely occupied by his followers.
Everyone's eyes scanned the surroundings vigilantly, in case someone suddenly attacked the seriously injured Gu Changge.
After all, who knew if the inheritor of demonic arts still had any hidden allies?
The divine light of many precious artifacts enveloped the world. One could even see many divine artifacts floating in the air, pouring down multicolored light and mist, exuding a dangerous aura.
Gu Xian 'er, Yin Mei, and the others hurried over as soon as they arrived.
At this moment, they were all looking at Gu Changge with worried expressions.
Even Gu Xian 'er, who was used to bickering with Gu Changge, clasped her hands together.
She was very worried and uneasy.
This was the first time she had seen Gu Changge so heavily injured.
However, she did not know how to help him at this time. She could only watch as he continuously resisted the demonic energy in his body, his face calm but incomparably pale.
This made her recall what had happened in the Palace of Heavenly Immortals.
In order to repay her for digging out his bone, Gu Changge had ordered her to kill him. Then, he did not resist at all, forcibly taking her blade.
That blade was the same, almost tearing his entire body apart. His injuries were a ghastly sight.
"Senior Brother Changge's cultivation is powerful and his foundations are deep. These injuries should not be a problem."
At this time, it was Yin Mei who calmed down and comforted her.
This made Gu Xian 'er nod, and the expression on her face relaxed slightly.
However, she was also worried about something else. Gu Changge's injuries were so severe. If he could not suppress his demonic heart and erupted with demonic nature, what would they do?
At that time, besides Gu Changge himself, no one here would be able to help him.
"How is Brother Changge's situation?"
The Heavenly Phoenix Maiden, Six Crown King, and the others quickly arrived.
The one who spoke was the Heavenly Phoenix Maiden, her eyes flickering with divine light.
Streak after streak of immortal phoenix-like symbols flickered, sizing up Gu Changge's current situation.
Six Crown King was also like this, divine splendor flickering in his eyes, all types of symbols swirling about.
He carefully examined Gu Changge's aura. In the end, he shook his head slightly, discovering that Gu Changge's source was indeed injured.
Moreover, because Gu Changge used a forbidden technique just now, burning his source blood and essence, his injuries worsened. It was unknown when he would be able to recover.
This was much more serious than what he had guessed before.
"This time, the demonic arts inheritor's plan really succeeded. Gu Changge might not be able to use magical force for half a month ~"
"The Divine Prince has fallen, Heavenly Emperor Mountain will definitely be furious, but there is nothing they can do. After all, Prince Ying was once Heavenly Emperor Mountain's inheritor …"
Six Crown King thought to himself. He gave Golden Cicada Buddha Child a strange look.
He discovered that his expression was exceptionally calm, buddhist light faintly discernible, as if he didn't care too much about Gu Changge's injuries.
Or perhaps he already knew about all of this before this.
"Amitabha, in order to fight against the inheritor of the demonic arts, Young Master Changge did not hesitate to burn his source even when he was seriously injured. This little monk really admires you for your magnanimity and righteousness."
At this time, Golden Cicada Buddhist Child faintly smiled as he spoke.
Then, he took out a sparkling, translucent, light yellow pill from his buddhist robes. Buddhist light shone on it, releasing rainbow-colored radiance, appearing extremely mystical.
A pure and holy radiance pervaded the air.
It was as if there were many eminent monks sitting there, chanting about the afterlife, dispelling all things.
"This is the Holy Buddha Pill unique to Buddha Mountain, refined by eminent monks using the power of virtue. It is extremely strong and yang, extremely effective in dispelling all types of evil and demonic energy."
"Perhaps it will be of great help to Young Master Changge's injuries."
Gu Changge sat there cross-legged, his expression calm and without ripples. Wisps of black mist curled about him, giving him a strange and sinister aura.
However, other than the fact that his injuries were very serious, there was nothing else on his body.
Hearing this, he opened his eyes and glanced at him. "Golden Cicada Buddha Child, I appreciate your kindness. However, you should keep this Saint Buddha Pill for yourself next time."
"If you encounter another demonic arts inheritor next time, you won't be as lucky as today."
Although he played it down, the expressions of many prodigies changed.
Many of them were not stupid. They could hear Gu Changge's dissatisfaction towards Golden Cicada, as well as his faint mockery.
This made many people frown involuntarily, and they began to imagine the cause of this matter.
Six Crown King also narrowed his eyes, somewhat interested. He vaguely guessed the reason Gu Changge said this.
"What happened?"
"Why would Young Master Changge treat Golden Cicada like this?"
Many prodigies looked over, confused. They felt that this had nothing to do with Golden Cicada.
Gu Xian 'er, Heavenly Phoenix Maiden, and the others also stared at Golden Cicada, as if waiting for an explanation.
"That's right. What happened at that time? Why is Golden Cicada Bodhisattva, who went in first, safe and sound while Young Master Changge was severely injured?"
"Could it be that the demonic arts inheritor didn't attack Golden Cicada?"
When everyone first rushed over, they just happened to see Gu Changge forcefully activate his origin, burning his Qi and blood to unleash a terrifying attack, forcing the demonic arts inheritor to retreat.
At that time, many people didn't notice Golden Cicada, so they didn't know what he was doing.
At this thought, many prodigies guessed something and felt a sense of disdain and contempt towards him.
As a Buddha, he didn't appear at the crucial moment. Instead, he let the heavily injured Young Master Changge do it.
In comparison, although Gu Changge was usually strong, his righteous actions were more admirable.
"Thank you for your concern, Brother Changge, but I still have a lot of Saint Buddha Pills. If I'm unlucky next time, I have a solution."
Golden Cicada didn't expect Gu Changge to say this. His expression changed slightly, but he quickly recovered and smiled.
"Golden Cicada, you're really lucky this time. Who would've thought that you would split up?"
Gu Changge sighed slightly, but didn't deny it.
Then, he tried to get up, but seemed to have touched his injuries. His face paled and he coughed out blood, looking even weaker.
This scene made the hearts of quite a few heavenly beauties clench.
Was this still the Young Master Changge they admired? At this moment, he was more like an immortal who had been banished to the mortal world, suffering all kinds of hardships.
"Gu Changge, are you okay?" Gu Xian 'er hurried over to support him, worry written all over her face.
"I'm fine. What could happen to me?"
Gu Changge looked at her and smiled. But before he could finish, blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth again. His face grew paler.
"Don't say anything. Don't force yourself at a time like this."
Gu Xian 'er's heart ached. She took out a clean handkerchief and wiped the blood away.
Everyone had different expressions.
Many people knew Gu Xian 'er's identity and background, so they weren't surprised.
"Young Master Changge is right. I should've been with the Divine Prince. If we hadn't split up, he wouldn't have been killed. "
Hearing this, Golden Cicada sighed. He didn't expect Gu Changge to say this. Was he explaining for him?
These words caused everyone to be somewhat puzzled.
"Then why didn't Golden Cicada stop the Divine Prince if you knew that this was all part of the demonic arts' plan?"
Gu Changge asked calmly, ignoring Gu Xian 'er's glare.
In any case, he was very proficient when it came to things like labeling people.
The Divine Prince was in trouble.
The demonic arts' inheritor was the first to bear the brunt. But Ying Shuang's identity was a bit awkward. After all, he was once the successor of Tianhuang Mountain.
At this time, he naturally had to think of a way to help Tianhuang Mountain. No matter how he looked at it, Golden Cicada was the best choice.
On the other hand, the Xuankong Temple was built by Buddha Mountain to guard the Demon Burial Abyss.
Gu Changge had made a move on the Golden Cicada Arhat for the sake of the subsequent plan.
"Gu Changge," Gu Xian 'er whispered, "can you stop talking? He's already so injured …"
"What do you mean, Young Master Changge?"
Hearing this, Golden Cicada's expression changed slightly, but he still maintained his composure.
He knew that Gu Changge was here to denounce him. At that time, he indeed knew that this was all part of the demonic arts' plan, but he still didn't stop him.
He felt that the Divine Prince was overestimating himself and knew that he wouldn't listen to him.
Stopping him wouldn't be of any use.
Rather than wasting time, it was better to let him die on his own.
But now, Gu Changge wasn't letting go of this matter, which was no different from pushing him to the center of the storm.
"Golden Cicada knew all along that this was all part of the demonic arts' plan?"
The expressions of the Heavenly Phoenix Maiden, Ying Yu, and the others all changed. Only Six Crown King's expression didn't change, as if he had already guessed this.
Many Heaven's Favorites were enraged when they heard this. They glared at the Golden Cicada Buddha and demanded an explanation.
Especially the Divine Prince's followers.
Since Golden Cicada knew this was all part of the plan, why didn't he stop it?
Wasn't he trying to kill the Divine Prince and Gu Changge?
No wonder Gu Changge treated him like that just now.
"As a monk and the successor of Buddha Mountain, instead of being benevolent, you have such vicious thoughts..."
"Golden Cicada, aren't you going to explain?"
The prodigies of Sky Emperor Mountain couldn't help but shout. Normally, they wouldn't dare to shout at Golden Cicada like this.
But today, the Divine Prince was killed, so they wouldn't have a good ending. Naturally, they weren't afraid of anything.
"Young Master Changge, why do you say this?"
Golden Cicada asked again, looking calmly at Gu Changge.
He ignored everyone else.
"Monks don't lie. I hope Golden Cicada will tell the truth and give the Divine Prince an explanation."
Gu Changge calmly met his gaze.
Gu Xian 'er was a bit annoyed that he was ignoring him, but knowing that he was seriously injured, he didn't argue.
At that moment, she looked at the Golden Cicada Arhat with an unfriendly gaze.
"Young Master Changge, please give my master justice!"
"Young Master Changge, please give my master justice!"
Plop!
Seeing this, all the prodigies of Sky Emperor Mountain fell to their knees. They knew that Golden Cicada wouldn't care about them, so they begged Gu Changge to give justice for the Divine Prince.
They knew that apart from Gu Changge, no one could get justice for the Divine Prince.
Buddha Mountain behind Golden Cicada was no weaker than Sky Emperor Mountain.
Six Crown King and the others also looked like they were watching a show.
Although the Divine Prince's death was related to the successor of the demonic arts, it was also related to Golden Cicada.
"All of you, get up. I really can't help with the Divine Prince's matter."
Gu Changge glanced at them, sighed, and said helplessly.
"Young Master Changge, you're really good at foresight."
"This little monk indeed guessed that all of this was actually a scheme of the successor of the demonic arts..."
Golden Cicada also sighed. Monks didn't lie. Although his temperament was different from other monks, he still had to abide by many rules.
Lying meant breaking the rules.
His many years of profound Buddhist cultivation would all be for naught.
Hearing this, everyone's pupils constricted. They didn't expect Golden Cicada to admit it so calmly. This shocked them.
"Looks like the Divine Prince didn't die in vain." Six Crown King smiled. He had long expected this.
Although Golden Cicada was a monk, he was actually very shrewd.
Facing the demonic arts successor's scheme, he chose to retreat, and the Divine Prince didn't notice this.
"My master has no enmity with you. Golden Cicada, why do you want to harm him?"
Hearing this, the prodigies of Sky Emperor Mountain glared at Golden Cicada with hatred, demanding an explanation.
"The Divine Prince insisted on sending himself to death. What does it have to do with this little monk? At that time, even if I tried to persuade him, I couldn't."
"Everyone, please restrain your grief," Golden Cicada replied without changing his expression.
Hearing this reply, many prodigies were furious again. Compared to Golden Cicada's usual solemnity, his words now seemed extremely hypocritical.
Seeing someone die was not going to help, but he said that he couldn't persuade him?
The Divine Prince wasn't an idiot. If he knew that this was a scheme, he would definitely choose to retreat instead of sending himself to death.
Instead, it was Gu Changge who had been seriously injured many times because of the demonic arts successor.
He was usually strong, but in the face of such a righteous cause, he stood up without hesitation, earning the admiration of many prodigies.
Now, compared to him, more prodigies were convinced by Gu Changge.
Golden Cicada's words had angered everyone!
Even the Heavenly Phoenix Maiden and Six Crown King couldn't say anything at this time.
Seeing that many people were filled with righteous indignation and were about to take action to seek justice for the Divine Prince, Gu Changge waved his hand and said helplessly, "Forget it.
Since Golden Cicada has said so, we can't blame him for this.
After all, whether or not to tell or persuade is not something that can be forced. "
Gu Changge had drawn enough hatred, so he naturally knew when to stop.
At this point, the Divine Prince's death was inseparable from the Golden Cicada Buddha in the eyes of many prodigies.
Although his words seemed to be persuading them, they were actually adding fuel to the fire.
As a monk, he naturally had to be merciful. However, Golden Cicada Buddha's actions made others wonder if there was a grudge between him and the Divine Prince.
Otherwise, why would he watch as the Divine Prince went to his death?
From today onwards, there would definitely be conflict between Tianhuang Mountain and Buddha Mountain.
This was also what Gu Changge wanted to see.
Although the prodigies of Tianhuang Mountain were unwilling to accept this, they didn't dare to say anything. After all, Gu Changge had already said so. If they still didn't know what was good for them, they wouldn't be giving Gu Changge any face.
Then, they reported what had happened back to Tianhuang Mountain. Tianhuang Mountain should already know about such a big matter.
Tianhuang Mountain should have noticed once the Divine Prince's life tablet shattered.
"Since Young Master Changge is fine, this little monk will take his leave first."
"The inheritor of the demonic arts has already matured. I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with him in the future."
Gu Changge nodded, and the Golden Cicada Arhat smiled. A Buddhist light appeared under his feet, and he left on his Buddhist cloud.
He didn't seem to care about what the other prodigies thought of him.
"Golden Cicada Buddha is a scheming person. He's not easy to get along with."
The Heavenly Phoenix Maiden and the others had mixed feelings. Then, they also bid farewell to Gu Changge and planned to leave first.
No matter what, the inheritor of the demonic arts would definitely cause a stir in the world again.
Gu Changge naturally wouldn't ask them to stay. After all, this was the place where the Yin-Terminating Qi erupted. It wasn't a safe place in the outside world.
He could guess what everyone was thinking.
"Don't worry, this injury will heal in no time. It won't affect me."
"Let's leave this place too."
Gu Changge smiled at Gu Xian 'er, Yin Mei, and the others.
Then, the group of prodigies turned into heavenly rainbows and left one after another.
Soon, what happened here spread like wildfire through everyone's mouths as if it had grown wings.
The moment the news spread, it caused a terrifying earthquake.
Not only was the Perfected Immortal Academy shocked, but all the Supreme Orthodoxies and imperishable sects in the Upper Realm were shocked. Endless waves were set off.
No one would have thought that so many terrible things would be involved in a trial out of nowhere.
The Divine Prince had fallen!
Gu Changge's origin source was damaged and he was severely injured!
Regardless of which news it was, it was enough to make all cultivators and living beings tremble and feel chills run down their spines.
The inheritor of the demonic arts was bold enough to shock and terrify everyone. Everyone was in danger.
In the eyes of many cultivators, the inheritor of the demonic arts had schemed to kill so many prodigies. Was it not a provocation to the various orthodoxies in the Upper Realm?
For a moment, many orthodoxies were considering whether to send their powerhouses to track down the inheritor of the demonic arts.
The degree of cautiousness towards this matter had risen to an unimaginable level.
When the Perfected Immortal Academy received the news, they also sent their elders over. Although the trial was not over yet, it cast a shadow in the hearts of many prodigies.
Through this incident, Gu Changge's reputation once again reached a peak.
The Golden Cicada Bodhisattva was cursed a lot, but he did not care at all.
Back in Black Tortoise Ancient Country.
Gu Changge naturally sent everyone away, including Gu Xian 'er and Yin Mei. At this time, he told the public that he was in seclusion to heal his injuries and would not see anyone.
He disguised his injuries very well. Even a Supreme Being would not be able to detect the truth. Gu Changge had nothing to hide.
At that time, all the prodigies clearly saw what happened.
Even if his true identity was exposed in the future, many people would suspect that he had been wrongly framed.
In any case, everyone who wanted to visit him would use the excuse that he was in seclusion to heal his injuries.
At this time, no one would be stupid enough to barge in, unless they wanted to face everyone's wrath and seek death.
During this period, things were not peaceful. The Monarchs of the various ancient countries were even more anxious, afraid that they would be implicated.
However, Yin Mei could guess Gu Changge's plan.
She was very cooperative. She led Gu Xian 'er and Gu Changge's followers to use the power of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Daos to investigate Qing Xiaoyi's whereabouts.
Gu Changge did not forget about the Purple Sun Sovereign.
After such a big incident, the Purple Sun Sovereign was like a clay Bodhisattva crossing a river. He could not even protect himself.
Although he had not shown himself yet, he must have received the news. His face was livid with anger and hatred, but he did not dare to show himself.
After that, Gu Changge took advantage of the chaos and quietly left the Black Tortoise Ancient Country. He rushed to the Land of Yin Elimination where Jiang Chuchu was.
This was because according to the news she sent, the Yin Elimination Origin had gone crazy!
It was a good opportunity to take it away and arrange some plans in the meantime.
