"Jiang Chen, don't get involved in this matter."
Ji Chuyue couldn't help but glance at him, frowning.
What Jiang Chen had said was equivalent to pushing them to Gu Changge's opposite side. He didn't leave any room for negotiation at all.
Although she knew there was a grudge between Jiang Chen and Gu Changge, she was still unhappy with his decision.
"If you have the guts, say that in front of Young Lord Changge."
"You're courting death."
Chen Ning 'er didn't care about Jiang Chen's mockery at all.
She was still smiling. She even glanced at Jiang Chen disdainfully.
A mortal who only knew a little bit about the general trend of the universe and the geographical changes. Did he really think he was a big shot?
He even dared to provoke Young Lord Changge?
"We'll explain this to Young Lord Changge. It's you, Chen Ning 'er, who followed us secretly. How dare you say such a shameless thing?"
Ji Chuyue took a deep breath. She had calmed down. She couldn't help but say coldly.
"I was helping Young Lord Changge find the Sky-Palm Tower. I had no choice but to do this."
Chen Ning 'er shook her head and smiled. Her red dress was swaying. She walked towards Ji Chuyue and the others slowly.
"I believe that all of you will understand my intentions."
"You …" Ji Chuyue looked angry. Her henchmen behind her stepped forward to protect her.
"B * tch."
Jiang Chen only wanted to curse at this moment.
She was such a beautiful woman, but she had to flatter Gu Changge so much.
He couldn't help but feel disgusted. At the same time, he felt resentful.
"Won't you think about how to explain this later?" Chen Ning 'er walked over, smiling.
Hearing this, Ji Chuyue fell silent. She was secretly anxious.
If Gu Changge knew about this, the Jis behind them would be in big trouble.
They had asked Jiang Chen to help them find the Sky-Palm Tower because they wanted to find the Sky-Palm Tower secretly behind Gu Changge's back. Then they could leave with it.
As long as he kept it a secret from Gu Changge, everything would be fine.
But now, Chen Ning 'er had personally witnessed everything that they had planned.
If she told Gu Changge, even if Gu Changge didn't pursue the matter on the surface, they would have already offended Gu Changge.
After all, this was no different from obeying in public but opposing in private.
Needless to say, she knew the consequences of offending Gu Changge.
When she first made this decision, she and Ji Yaoxing had already guessed that this would be the result. However, they had held onto a fluke mentality and felt that as long as they could hide it, nothing would happen.
For a moment, Ji Chuyue couldn't think of a good solution.
If there were any regrets, there would definitely be.
However, they already had the Heaven Wielding Wheel of the Seven Treasures of the Heaven Wielding Sect. If they gave up the Heaven Wielding Pagoda so easily, they would not be willing to accept it.
Now that things had come to this, was there any way to salvage the situation?
Chen Ning 'er looked at Ji Chuyue's slightly pale face and smiled even more brightly. "If you have the time, I'd advise you to think about how to explain it to Young Master Changge later.
"Although Young Master Changge has a good temper, he can't tolerate sand in his eyes. I think you should know what happened to the Zi Mansion. The reclusive Ji Family behind you doesn't want to follow in his footsteps, right? "
As she spoke, she picked up the communication talisman in her hand and indicated that she had already informed Gu Changge.
Seeing this, Ji Chuyue's face turned even paler. She clenched her slender hands so tightly that her bony fingers turned white.
"You …"
She looked at Chen Ning 'er with a resentful gaze. She was so angry that her delicate body trembled.
Ji Chuyue never expected that Chen Ning 'er would not only secretly follow them, but also inform Gu Changge about this matter.
Why did they only take action in the middle of the night? Wasn't it because they were worried that Gu Changge would find out? Chen Ning 'er's current actions were simply planning to make them offend Gu Changge to the death!
She was so heartless. She was so ruthless!
"Gu Changge is coming here?"
Seeing this, Jiang Chen's expression also changed slightly.
Although he had changed his appearance, he still had an uncontrollable fear of Gu Changge.
"Little Chen 'zi, the power of heaven and earth in this place can be used by me. For us, this is the most advantageous terrain, especially in that purple mountain … If my senses are not wrong, there is an opportunity that belongs only to you."
However, at this moment, the voice of the spirit of the Celestial Boat of Fortune came again, resolute and decisive.
"A chance that belongs to me only? What on earth is that? You mentioned it just now, "Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and asked hurriedly.
"All you need to do is enter this purple mountain. I'm confident that I can use the terrain here to contend with the others."
The voice of the spirit of the Celestial Boat of Fortune was full of confidence.
Jiang Chen was relieved to hear this. He could not understand Ji Chuyue's panic, as if the sky was falling.
As far as he was concerned, he had done his duty by helping Ji Chuyue and others find the Heavenly Palm Tower.
As for offending Gu Changge, hadn't the Ji siblings been prepared for this?
"How arrogant. I don't believe Gu Changge is so strong that he can do whatever he wants in the Upper Realm. No one can compete with him for the treasure he has set his mind on. "
Jiang Chen spoke again. He sounded indignant, as if he was persuading Ji Chuyue, but more than that, he was expressing his dissatisfaction with Gu Changge.
"How dare an ant talk about Young Lord Changge. You're courting death."
Ji Chuyue did not say anything in response.
A cold look flashed in Chen Ning 'er's eyes. She raised her hand. Several divine runes streaked across the air. They turned into arrows and shot toward Jiang Chen, intending to kill him there and then.
Although she was far weaker than those top young Supreme Venerables, dealing with an ordinary person like Jiang Chen was as easy as stepping on an ant.
Jiang Chen turned pale. He did not expect Chen Ning 'er to be so vicious. She attacked without hesitation, showing no mercy at all.
"Stop!"
At the crucial moment, Ji Chuyue gnashed her teeth and attacked.
The green flute in her hand flew out. It turned into a hazy light. Like a cloud, it stood in front of Jiang Chen, blocking Chen Ning 'er's attack for him.
Even so, Jiang Chen turned pale. His back was soaked in cold sweat. He almost collapsed on the ground.
"Great. Ji Chuyue, you are really bold. This ant insulted Young Lord Changge. How dare you defend him? I think you are going to go against Young Lord Changge … "
Chen Ning 'er said with a cold smile.
"I …" Ji Chuyue turned pale. She wanted to explain, but she did not have the nerve to speak. With the status of her family, they would never have the nerve to go against Gu Changge.
Especially when it was something so obvious.
However, it was impossible for her to watch Jiang Chen get killed without doing anything. She would just stand by and watch him die.
She could not do that.
Boom!!
However, at this moment, they suddenly heard a dreadful noise coming from the Purple Mountain behind them.
It sounded like a wave, but also like a giant boulder rolling down. It kept rolling over.
Everyone looked over with shocked expressions on their faces.
They saw the mountain range shrouded in purple mist suddenly come to life.
Thick purple mist started to emit from every rock. It covered the whole area in an instant.
Such a change shocked everyone. Even Chen Ning 'er and the others looked over. They could not believe what they were seeing.
Buzz!
All of a sudden, a brilliant golden light streaked across the sky. Like a small burning sun, it was scorching hot and dreadful. It dashed out of the Purple Mountain.
"Brother!"
Ji Chuyue could not help but shout. She looked very worried.
It was Ji Yaoxing, who had just broken into the Purple Mountain.
However, he was not in a good state at the moment. His hair was disheveled. He was covered in blood. His robe was in tatters. He was in a mess. Apparently, he had run into some kind of danger.
However, he still looked calm. He landed quickly from the air. He glanced at Ji Chuyue. Then he laid his eyes on Jiang Chen without saying anything.
"Brother, are you all right?" Ji Chuyue asked. She was very worried. At the same time, she told Ji Yaoxing what had happened outside.
"I'm fine. I heard about it in the Purple Mountain." Ji Yaoxing nodded, telling her not to worry.
"Elder Brother Yaoxing, did you get anything there?"
Chen Ning 'er asked with a smile, as if she were waiting for a good show.
"I know where the Sky-Palm Tower is."
Ji Yaoxing said calmly, "But it'll take me some time to find it."
"Eh?"
Chen Ning 'er was struck dumb. Apparently, she had not expected Ji Yaoxing to be so calm.
At this moment, Ji Yaoxing said calmly again, "I didn't expect you to follow me.
"I didn't expect you to follow in the dark. I'm afraid this matter will alarm Young Master Changge."
"I planned to give the Sky-Palm Tower to Young Lord Changge after I got it. This will save him some trouble. But I have to trouble Young Lord Changge to deal with such a trivial matter. Miss Ning 'er, I'll see how you explain it to Young Lord Changge. "
"What?"
Not only was Chen Ning 'er struck dumb, but his younger sister Ji Chuyue was also struck dumb. She did not come to herself for a good while.
Jiang Chen sensed the subtle change in the atmosphere. He could not help but frown.
"Brother, what do you mean?" Ji Chuyue felt dizzy. She did not understand Ji Yaoxing's words.
Chen Ning 'er frowned. She could not help but ask, "Ji Yaoxing, what do you mean? Why do you want me to explain it to Young Lord Changge?"
She was not polite at all. She called Ji Yaoxing by his full name directly.
"It's because of what you did that ruined my plan." Ji Yaoxing's voice was calm. Together with his calm expression, he gave people an indescribable sense of trust.
Ji Chuyue was also at a loss. Did her brother have a plan that he hadn't told her?
"What do you mean? Tell me clearly." Chen Ning 'er's voice was very cold.
"The Sky-Palm Tower that Young Lord Changge wants is here, but I can't take it out with my ability. I can't even find it. Jiang Chen, who is behind me, is a Divine Origin Master. With him, it will be easy for us to find the Sky-Palm Tower and take it out. "
Ji Yaoxing's voice was very calm, as if he was stating a fact.
At the same time, he exposed Jiang Chen's identity. He pointed at Jiang Chen immediately.
"Ji Yaoxing, you … you've outlived your usefulness …"
Jiang Chen's expression changed drastically. He stared at Ji Yaoxing angrily.
What he was most worried about had happened.
However, Ji Yaoxing did not care about him. He did not even look at him.
Hearing this, Chen Ning 'er's expression changed a little. She began to feel bewildered.
If Gu Changge's plan was ruined because of her, she would be the one who deserved to die. Even if she had to die to apologize, she would not be qualified to do so.
"Divine Origin Master?" Gazing at Jiang Chen, she was somewhat shocked. She sized him up carefully. Of course, she knew what this meant.
"No wonder he's so capable."
Then Chen Ning 'er smiled coldly. "But what does what you've told me have to do with your plan?"
"Jiang Chen has a grudge against Young Lord Changge. He didn't want to help us find the Sky-Palm Tower after learning about it. That's why my sister and I had to resort to this. Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to help us find the Sky-Palm Tower …"
Ji Yaoxing sighed. His expression changed slightly. "Unfortunately, because of you, we have to give up on this plan. The Sky-Palm Tower is here, but without a Divine Origin Master's help, we can't take it out."
Since he had made it so clear, everyone knew what he meant.
"So there's such a thing? Does he have a grudge against Young Lord Changge? "
Chen Ning 'er could not tell whether Ji Yaoxing was telling the truth.
However, if this Divine Origin Master in front of them had a grudge against Gu Changge, the Ji siblings would not have the guts to take him in.
"Elder brother …"
Ji Chuyue looked at Ji Yaoxing in a daze. It seemed she had not expected him to say that either. He had pushed all the blame to Jiang Chen.
This made her feel that the Ji Yaoxing in front of her had become very strange. In the past, he would never have said such a thing, nor would he have done such a thing.
He had betrayed her and burned the bridge after crossing it?
Although she knew her elder brother was doing this for her and for the family, she could not accept it at the moment …
She threw Jiang Chen an apologetic look, but Jiang Chen did not notice her.
"Ji Yaoxing, I didn't expect an upright person like you to do such a thing. I was blind today. I should have led the way for you …"
"I won't forget what you did today!"
Jiang Chen could not help but smile coldly. His look was very cold. There was no anger or hatred in his eyes.
He was completely disappointed.
He didn't expect that the first thing Ji Yaoxing did after he showed up would be to sell him out.
He had sold him out, and he had cut off all ties with him.
Jiang Chen was aware that if this night's incident hadn't occurred, Ji Yaoxing would have spoken in a completely different way. Previously, he had even thought that Ji Yaoxing was someone he could befriend.
He was totally blind!
"Well, catch him then. I don't believe he will have the nerve to disobey us if we torture him."
Then Chen Ning 'er's look towards Jiang Chen became cold.
However, at this moment, divine rainbows flashed in the distant sky. They were very obvious in the dark night.
A group of people were coming.
The leaders were a man and a woman. Their robes were fluttering in the wind. They looked very elegant. They were Gu Changge and Yue Mingkong.
Jiang Chen turned pale. He wanted to leave, but he did not have the nerve to move because everyone was staring at him.
"Greetings, Young Lord Changge."
Seeing Gu Changge coming, Chen Ning 'er hurried to greet him. She was a little nervous.
According to Ji Yaoxing's words, she had indeed ruined his plan.
Besides, it was she who had informed Gu Changge that he would come here.
However, after coming here, she had only seen traces of the Heavenly Palm Tower. She had not seen the real one.
Compared to Ji Yaoxing's prudent approach, she had been reckless.
She could not help but break out in a cold sweat at the thought of Gu Changge blaming her.
"Young Lord Changge!"
The brother and sister of the Ji family also hurried to greet him. However, compared to Ji Yaoxing, who was very calm, Ji Chuyue was very nervous.
"Oh, I seem to have come too late. Did I miss something?"
Gu Changge did not pay attention to them.
There was a faint smile on his face as his gaze fell on Ji Chuyue and Ji Yaoxing. He seemed to be interested in them.
Ji Chuyue's expression changed slightly. She was so nervous that her palms were sweating.
She had not had such a direct feeling when she had met Gu Changge.
However, at that moment, she only felt a dreadful pressure coming at her. She was almost suffocating and out of breath.
"Young Lord Changge, it's like this …"
At that moment, Chen Ning 'er hurriedly reported what had just happened, not daring to hide anything.
She told him everything, including how she had followed the brother and sister of the Ji family, how she had overheard their conversation, and how Ji Yaoxing had explained to him.
Yue Mingkong took a deep look at Ji Yaoxing. She looked cold and deep, but she did not say anything.
She certainly knew what Ji Yaoxing was thinking, but she did not want to point it out.
She wanted to know how the brother and sister of the Ji family were going to solve this problem.
After hearing this, Gu Changge smiled at Chen Ning 'er and said, "It's been hard on you."
"Young Lord Changge, you are welcome. It's my honor."
Chen Ning 'er was flattered by Gu Changge's words instead of blaming her. She hurried to wave her hand.
To be able to hear these words, in her opinion, it was all worth it.
"Elder Brother Yao Xing, I heard you are going to help me find the Sky-Palm Tower?"
Then, Gu Changge looked at Ji Yaoxing with interest. There was a hint of playfulness in her eyes.
Although Ji Yaoxing maintained his composure, Ji Chuyue could clearly see that his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
It was obvious that her elder brother was not as calm and steady as he looked.
When facing Gu Changge, they could finally experience the power that was said to make people tremble in fear and their Divine Souls tremble.
This was the kind of huge gap that was difficult to cross.
"Young Lord Changge, my sister and I had this idea when we heard you were going to look for the Sky-Palm Tower. However, Jiang Chen did not cooperate with us, so we came up with this plan."
Ji Yaoxing said calmly.
"Besides, my sister and I are going to contact our families after we find the Sky-Palm Tower. We will give the Sky-Palm Wheels we have to Young Lord Changge as a gift."
"It's a pity that we didn't tell Miss Chen Ning 'er about this. That's why Young Lord Changge got involved. I'm sorry."
"What?"
Not only Chen Ning 'er was struck dumb by Ji Yaoxing's words.
Even Jiang Chen, who had been staring at Ji Yaoxing with hatred and coldness, was struck dumb.
"You have the Sky-Palm Wheels?"
Chen Ning 'er could not believe what she had heard. It was like a dream.
The Ji siblings were going to give the Sky-Palm Wheels away. This was beyond her expectation.
However, it seemed like this was the only way.
"Yeah? That's what happened? "
Hearing this, Gu Changge didn't say anything and just smiled faintly. His gaze fell on Ji Yaoxing and Ji Chuyue.
"It's true. I wouldn't dare lie to Young Lord Changge."
Ji Yaoxing looked at him calmly. He was sweating.
Ji Chuyue lowered her head. She clenched her fists. She knew why her brother had said this. After all, they were in a disadvantageous situation.
Ji Yaoxing's explanation could fool Chen Ning 'er and others, but it could not fool Gu Changge.
Instead of offending Gu Changge, it would be better to give the Sky-Palm Wheels to him.
In this way, even if Gu Changge knew the whole story, he would not look into it for the sake of the Sky-Palm Wheels.
"So, thank you, Taoist Brother Yaoxing."
Finally, Gu Changge smiled. Her smile was light, and she withdrew her gaze.
Not until then did the Ji siblings come to themselves from the dreadful power. They felt their backs were soaked with sweat. A breeze blew by. It was bone-chilling.
