There were many pavilions and majestic palaces. Magnificent divine lights were flowing. Auspicious beasts could be seen roaring in the distance. Divine birds were flapping their wings.
"Don't worry. I'll send people to take your companions to a safe place. As you said, although they can't practice, it's good for them to be ordinary people."
"People say immortals are good, but they don't know immortals are bad."
Gu Changge walked over.
He said with a gentle smile, as if he wanted her to let go of everything.
"Young Master Gu, you're right. The gap between immortals and mortals is destined to be huge. Since they can't practice, it's not bad for them to be ordinary people. I think they can also understand all of this. This world … is indeed so cruel. "
Xiao Ruoyin nodded slightly. She walked up to Gu Changge. Her look was complicated, but she had calmed down by then.
Although she hadn't had the heart to do that, if she didn't cut the Gordian knot, it would only become more troublesome.
It wouldn't be a good thing for her, or for Jiang Chen and the others.
From now on, she would officially embark on the path of practice. Of course, she had to put an end to what had happened to her in the mortal world.
"From now on, you'll practice with Yan Ji. She'll tell you everything about the world of practice."
"I believe with your talent, it won't be long before you become famous in the Upper Realm. You'll become a young genius."
Gu Changge said. A strange look flashed in his eyes. He had detected that Xiao Ruoyin's luck points had changed a lot.
No wonder she was the reincarnation of the Great Priestess of Fate. Her Taoist heart was much stronger than average people.
After cutting off her mortal fate, her state of mind was obviously much stronger than before.
"Okay."
Xiao Ruoyin nodded. She looked much more relaxed. Maybe it was a relief for her to cut off her mortal fate.
At this moment, she looked more otherworldly than before. Her dress was fluttering. There seemed to be a light shining between her eyebrows.
At this moment, Yan Ji walked over with light steps.
Her beautiful and flawless face had a cold and calm expression, as if she would not be affected by external things.
She stared at Xiao Ruoyin and said, "From today onwards, you will cultivate with me. In a while, I will teach you some common knowledge of cultivation in this world. At the same time, I will also teach you some of the easier spells and supernatural powers."
In the past, Yan Ji had become her master once, so it was not difficult for her to teach a disciple.
Not to mention, Gu Changge had already told her about Xiao Ruoyin's background. There were many things that she did not need to teach. Xiao Ruoyin should be able to awaken some memories of her past life very soon.
At most, he would just go through the formalities of being a teacher.
"Disciple thanks Master."
Xiao Ruoyin hurried to say. She respected Yan Ji very much. At the same time, she was looking forward to her future life of cultivation.
Gu Changge nodded slightly. He signaled Yan Ji to take Xiao Ruoyin away. Yan Ji understood. Then she took Xiao Ruoyin away with the excuse of teaching her a method.
In the distance, Jiang Chen, Niu Tian, and the others were still calling Xiao Ruoyin's name. However, although Xiao Ruoyin heard them, she did not change her expression. She still did not look back.
As Gu Changge had said, their mortal fate was over. They were no longer in the same world as her.
After thousands of years, she was still as beautiful as before, but Jiang Chen, Niu Tian, and the others had turned into ashes. They could not even find where they were buried.
It was better to cut off all of this at this moment. Otherwise, it would only leave them with sadness.
"Come here."
Gu Changge glanced at Jiang Chen and the others. Then he waved his hand to summon several creatures with strong energies. He gave them an order casually.
"Yes, Master."
These creatures became serious and said respectfully.
After that, Gu Changge left the place and appeared in a pavilion. Hei Yanyu had just brewed a pot of tea for him. The tea had a light green color and was surrounded by mist. It was very elegant and fragrant.
"Arrange the army. Get ready for battle. The Purple Mansion's men should be here soon."
Gu Changge said calmly, sipping his tea unhurriedly.
Although he had not participated in this Battle of Longevity, he had received a lot of news from the frontline.
As a result, Gu Changge knew that the Purple Mansion had secretly sent a large army to rescue Lord of Heaven Purple Sun.
Although the Ancient Country of Vermilion Bird was on the verge of falling apart, it was still one step away from being destroyed.
Gu Changge wanted to use this opportunity to make Chu Hao confront Qin Wuya. Otherwise, he would not have had to go through so much trouble. The small Ancient Country of Vermilion Bird was not worth his attention at all.
"Yes, Master."
Hei Yanyu left to give the order.
After Hei Yanyu had left, Gu Changge started to think about another thing.
The Ji family behind Su Qingge and Ji Qingxuan could be under his control if he played his cards right.
In any case, it could be considered an impressive force.
During this period of time, Gu Changge could see that Ji Qingxuan had a different kind of ambition for power. Her own methods were not inferior to her sister's in the slightest.
If Ji Qingxuan could control the Ji family, it would be much more convenient for him. After all, Ji Qingxuan was very afraid of and dependent on him.
Besides that, Gu Changge had already infiltrated the Tangs in the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Doctrines.
The hidden chess piece that he had left on Tang Wan's brother, Tang Tian, should come into play now.
There were not so many coincidences in this world. The so-called pie that fell from the sky was nothing more than a trap that someone had set up beforehand.
The Fairy Art of Wedding was so terrifying that it could control all the tribes in the Immortal Ancient Mainland.
It was more than enough to control the Tangs in the Business Alliance.
It was a good opportunity for Yin Mei to take over the Tangs. In that case, most of the power in the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Doctrines would fall into her hands.
As for Tang Wan, Gu Changge did not plan to let her take over anything.
Her only function was to be the fuse that ignited the conflict between the two Sons of Providence.
Other than that, she was useless to Gu Changge.
"During this period, Yue Mingkong should be busy collecting the Seven Weapons of Heaven Wielding. Apart from the Heaven Wielding Jar and Heaven Wielding Bottle in my hands, she should have collected many of them too."
"When I'm done here, I'll ask her for them."
At the thought of that, Gu Changge could not help but smile faintly.
However, he guessed that even if he did not ask for them, Yue Mingkong would eventually send them to him after she had collected all of them.
Then, Gu Changge thought of something and waved his hand. A figure in a black robe that was covered by black fog appeared in the void behind him. It had a cold expression and seemed emotionless. However, it was emitting the terrifying aura of a Supreme Saint.
It was the Demonic Cultivation Puppet!
"Greetings, Master!"
The puppet greeted Gu Changge respectfully. There was a hint of intelligence in its eyes.
Gu Changge nodded his head slightly. He waved his hand again and the black fog on his face disappeared, revealing the face of an ordinary middle-aged man.
After thinking about it for a while, a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Go and find him."
In the next instant, the puppet's face started to change.
Soon, it turned into a cold old man with a high nose bridge that looked like an eagle's claw. It gave people a chilling feeling.
"Yes, Master."
The black-robed old man took a step forward and disappeared instantly. There was no trace of him at all.
…..
On the other side, Jiang Chen, Niu Tian, and the others were being driven off the ancient warship. They were going to be taken down.
"You still want to eat swan meat at such a time. What a joke. Why don't you take a look at your cultivation talent? You're just a good-for-nothing!"
"You're not in the same world as Miss Xiao. Why don't you leave? Do you want to stay here and ask for trouble?"
Around them, several creatures with terrifying auras were gazing at them coldly. They emitted a terrifying aura that made them turn pale. Their souls were shivering. They were scared out of their wits.
In their opinion, it was because of Xiao Ruoyin that the group of living beings on the ancient warship were more polite to them.
But now, when they were tested to have no cultivation talent, this group of creatures' true faces were also revealed. They were incomparably cold, their words merciless.
This was how cruel the world was!
It was one of them who spoke. He did not try to hide his scorn and sneer. He waved his hand and a terrifying aura was emitted. He was going to drive Jiang Chen and the others off the ancient warship.
"Ruoyin …"
Jiang Chen looked sad and helpless. At the same time, he was very worried.
He did not have the nerve to argue with such a scornful remark. He had no doubt that if he argued with it, a palm as big as a rush cushion would hit his head.
With his current body, wouldn't he be smashed into meat paste by such a palm?
"You're smart."
Seeing Jiang Chen not speaking, the creature who had spoken just now smiled coldly. He looked cold again.
A gloomy look flashed across Jiang Chen's face. He swore to himself that if he had a chance in the future, he would kill this creature.
Although what Xiao Ruoyin said to them was very heartless and indifferent, he knew that there was nothing he could do about it because Xiao Ruoyin didn't believe that the testing stone was tampered with by Gu Changge.
He was not without cultivation talent. It was just that Xiao Ruoyin did not know about it.
"If Ruoyin had listened to me, things would not have turned out this way. But Young Master Gu showed up at that time. He wouldn't have given me a chance to explain …"
Jiang Chen clenched his fists. He calmed down soon, although he was still angry.
But he also knew that if he went against Gu Changge at that moment, he would be courting death.
Once Xiao Ruoyin was separated from them, what would he do if Gu Changge killed her?
At that moment, he did not even have a chance to tell Xiao Ruoyin everything.
As far as he was concerned, Xiao Ruoyin had been kept in the dark by Gu Changge. She did not know anything. She did not even know Gu Changge was harboring ill intentions toward her.
This was not something that could be described with the word 'dangerous'.
"What should we do? Master is with that dreadful man. She could be killed at any time. Jiang Chen, we can't just leave her alone … "
The weapon spirit of the Fairy Boat of Fortune said anxiously.
By then, Jiang Chen had calmed himself down. He said calmly, "I think the most important thing right now is to improve my strength. As long as I can improve my strength, I'll be able to see Ruoyin again. I'll tell her everything so that she can see Young Master Gu's true colors.
"Although Young Master Gu is harboring ill intentions toward Ruoyin, I don't think he'll do it now. So, I'll have time to practice.
"Besides, I still have you, don't I? I don't believe I can't beat Young Master Gu in the future. "
Jiang Chen felt hopeful. The current situation was like he was in the dark, while Young Master Gu was in the light. This was good for him.
"That's the only thing we can do for now. I'll find you a practice method after we leave here. If possible, you can join a sect first. You don't have enough practice resources to be an independent practitioner …"
The weapon spirit of the Fairy Boat of Fortune explained after a silence.
At the same time, it was advising Jiang Chen. The two were in the same boat. They were bound together for good or ill.
Jiang Chen had been discussing with the weapon spirit of the Fairy Boat of Fortune on their way out of the ancient warship. He calmed down soon after they had come up with a plan.
However, Niu Tian, Wang Ning, and the others were still in a daze. They looked like they hadn't come to themselves yet.
"Jiang Chen, why are you still pretending? We're all in the same situation. We can't practice in this world. Maybe one day we'll run into a fight between two practitioners. The repercussions of the fight will be enough to kill us thousands of times …"
Seeing Jiang Chen so calm, Song Ming, who had been mocking him, couldn't help but speak again. She didn't show him any respect.
She was pissed off by Jiang Chen's attitude.
After all, things had come to this, but Jiang Chen was still pretending to be indifferent.
It was the same a moment ago. Everyone thought Jiang Chen was going to create a miracle since he was so calm. However, in the next second, they were slapped in the face.
The testing stone didn't do anything either.
He even said the testing stone was broken and he would test it again with a new one. Only Jiang Chen could do such a shameful thing.
Song Ming felt ashamed for Jiang Chen. It was so shameful.
The others also started to speak. Their eyes were full of sarcasm. Maybe this was the only way they could vent their anger at this moment.
"Shut up!"
Niu Tian glanced at his companions, frowning.
He was tall and strong. He had been tested to have talent. Although it was average, he was much better than them.
This group of people were very afraid of the tall and strong Niu Tian. After muttering a few words, they also shut up.
"I told you the testing stone was broken, but you didn't believe me. Now you're blaming me."
"Huh, that's ridiculous," Jiang Chen said indifferently.
Jiang Chen said calmly. He knew he had a talent for practicing. He wouldn't be on the same side as these snobbish classmates very soon, so he just let them be.
He appeared to be very calm and collected.
"Alas …" Niu Tian glanced at him and shook his head.
Jiang Chen smiled and said to him, "Don't worry. The testing stone was broken. In fact, you and I both have talent for practice."
"Yeah?"
Seeing how confident he was, Niu Tian was a little doubtful. Could it be that the testing stone was really broken?
But he didn't ask.
After all, there were so many dreadful creatures around. If he said something that upset them, who knew what would happen?
"Jiang Chen, is the testing stone really broken?"
At this moment, Jiang Chen suddenly smelled a fragrance beside him.
He looked back when he heard the voice. It was Wang Ning, who looked nervous.
Somehow, Wang Ning thought Jiang Chen was so calm and confident. She thought about his usual behavior and felt there was a reason behind it.
He must know something.
"Yeah." Jiang Chen glanced at Wang Ning and nodded.
He had never felt anything for Wang Ning before. After all, he had been focusing on Xiao Ruoyin.
But then, he suddenly found Wang Ning wasn't a bad person. Since they were old classmates, he didn't mind telling her something. He said in a low voice,
"That testing stone had actually been tampered with, and the purpose was to drive us away logically …"
Wang Ning was surprised. She thought it must have been Xiao Ruoyin who had tampered with it to give her an excuse to get rid of them.
"You mean we both have talent for practice?"
She couldn't help but get excited at the thought of this.
There was a light at the end of the tunnel.
When Jiang Chen was about to answer, a creature next to him said coldly, "We're here."
"This is a primeval forest. Are they going to leave us here? Didn't they say they were going to send us to a safe place?"
"It's not safe at all here!"
Someone heard this and looked around. His voice was filled with dissatisfaction.
They were surrounded by tall ancient trees, mountains, vines, and thorns. It was foggy in the distance. They couldn't see the border at all.
They could hear all kinds of beasts roaring. They could even see many exotic birds with their wings spread. They looked like a black cloud. It was horrible.
What if they were left here to fend for themselves? What was the difference between that and killing them?
Average practitioners wouldn't have the nerve to enter such a place. They hadn't even practiced before. How could they survive?
"We're here. Don't you understand?"
The creature who had spoken grinned. He showed his teeth as sharp as blades. He looked hideous.
People turned pale with fright. Shivering, they didn't have the nerve to say anything.
At this moment, Jiang Chen, Niu Tian, and the others all sensed something was wrong.
Because the creatures next to them were looking at them with cold disdain. They didn't say anything.
"Run!"
"They're going to kill you!"
In Jiang Chen's mind, the weapon spirit of the Celestial Boat of Fortune shouted at him anxiously.
Boom!!!
Jiang Chen didn't have time to react when he heard that. He ran directly into the primeval forest ahead of him. However, as soon as he started to move, a dreadful energy swept over from behind.
A red glow suddenly broke out. The mountains nearby were shaking, as if they were going to collapse.
He looked back. His pupils constricted.
He saw Wang Ning, who was very excited, get hit by the red glow before he even realized what was going on. He exploded and turned into ashes in an instant.
As to his companions, some of them were shrouded by the red glow before they realized what was going on. They evaporated directly before they could even scream.
Those who came to themselves were scared out of their wits. They wished their parents had given them more legs so that they could run away as fast as they could.
"Go on. Let's see where you can go."
The creatures sneered. They looked like they were playing a game of cat and mouse. "Even if you can run away today, you won't be able to leave this forest alive."
They looked cold, but they weren't in a hurry. After killing a few people, they started to chase them slowly, as if they wanted to give Jiang Chen and the others time to run away.
Jiang Chen hid in a dense forest. His heart was pounding. He was very nervous. His back was soaked with cold sweat. His limbs were cold.
If he had reacted a little slower, he would have ended up like Wang Ning and the others. He would have been blown into ashes by the red glow.
He was extremely scared. His legs even turned to jelly.
It was the first time in his life that he had encountered such a situation.
In this world where the strong preyed on the weak, if he didn't have any life-saving skills, he would end up like an ant, easily crushed to death.
Besides, to Jiang Chen's surprise, these creatures were so bold and ruthless that they didn't even plan to let them go after sending them to this ancient forest.
It must have been Young Master Gu's order!!!
Jiang Chen was creeped out at the thought of this.
They hadn't killed them in front of Xiao Ruoyin. Instead, they had chosen this moment to kill them. They just wanted to pretend to be nice people in front of Xiao Ruoyin.
At the banquet, he had been so gentle and kind, but in the blink of an eye, he had sent people to kill them.
How could there be such a vicious person in the world?!
One couldn't judge a book by its cover!
His companions wouldn't have been as lucky as him. They wouldn't have been able to escape from these powerful creatures who could fly on clouds.
"Niu Tian, don't let anything happen to you …"
4.2
Jiang Chen glanced in another direction worriedly. He had noticed that Niu Tian had run in a different direction from him.
And Niu Tian's stamina was much stronger than his. If he could escape, then Niu Tian should be able to as well.
"Gu, I won't let you go until one of us dies! If anything happens to Niu Tian, I won't let you go … "
Jiang Chen gnashed his teeth. He felt cold.
He knew this so-called Young Master Gu wasn't a good person, but he hadn't expected him to be so vicious.
He had promised to let them go, but he had secretly sent people to kill them.
When he had first met Gu Changge, he had been wearing snow-white clothes, aloof, elegant, and handsome. He didn't look like an ordinary man.
But why was he so cruel to them? Was he really not leaving them any chance to survive?
There had been no grudge between them!
Jiang Chen had never hated anyone as much as he did. Xiao Ruoyin had stayed with such a horrible person. He felt a chill down his spine. It was creepy.
"Ah …"
At this moment, Jiang Chen heard a scream coming from far away.
This made his expression change greatly. He recognized that this voice belonged to one of his companions. It seemed that the other party had already been killed.
He felt even more terrified. He didn't dare stay there any longer. He turned around and hurried to escape into the depths of the forest.
Many holy rainbows were flying across the sky. They were riding on clouds and fog, covering the sky and the sun.
These creatures were extremely dreadful after turning into their true forms. They looked like small mountains. The black clouds were tumbling, chasing after them.
They were so dreadful that they felt like a mountain was pressing down on their heads. They couldn't even breathe.
Jiang Chen kept running. He kept running into the depths of the forest.
The ancient trees nearby were getting taller and taller. They were flourishing. Their branches and leaves alone could cover a small part of the sky.
"They sent so many people just to kill us …" Jiang Chen clenched his fists.
Jiang Chen clenched his fists. He didn't know where he got the strength to keep running at this moment.
The further they went, the thicker the miasma and fog became. Jiang Chen even felt like his body was going to be corroded. He couldn't bear such an energy.
"Artifact Spirit, please come up with a solution for me. Otherwise, you won't be able to survive without a host if I die …"
Jiang Chen gnashed his teeth. He communicated with the Artifact Spirit of the Creation Immortal Boat in his mind.
"Keep running ahead. The terrain here isn't good enough. Once we're inside, as long as we can manipulate the terrain, I'll be able to stop those creatures behind us …"
The Artifact Spirit of the Creation Immortal Boat said anxiously. His voice was shaking. He was worried. He had never thought things would end up like this. That Gu guy was too hateful.
