The black jade carriage stopped on the Holy Mountain, and the many knights and soldiers behind it were also scattered in all directions, looking around vigilantly. Their auras were powerful, and their vitality was astonishing.
This was Empress Xi Yao's elite force.
These years, they had been fighting everywhere, and their murderous aura was monstrous. From afar, they looked like an invincible torrent.
"Her Majesty is here!"
"Even Xiuluo Wei is here. It seems that Her Majesty is also very vigilant about this Prodigy Banquet."
At this moment, almost everyone in the Demon Realm was looking over. Some were in awe, some were in awe, some were in admiration, some were in admiration, and some were in fear.
Empress Xi Yao rarely left the palace, and there were even fewer creatures in the Demon Realm who had seen her true appearance.
No matter what kind of important decree it was, it was always issued by her and instructed the female officials under her to do it.
Now, many people were looking over curiously, wanting to catch a glimpse of Her Majesty's peerless face.
There were rumors that Empress Xi Yao was the number one beauty in the Demon Realm for more than six thousand years. She was as beautiful as a fairy, and her appearance was stunning.
Although such a rumor was rather disrespectful, it was still incomparably attractive to the ordinary people of the Demon Realm.
At the foot of the Holy Mountain, all the Prodigies looked up at the black jade carriage stopped at the top of the clouds.
No matter young men or women, they were all in awe and respect.
There were even many young men who had other thoughts in their hearts and were ready to make a move.
For more than six thousand years, no man had ever appeared by Her Majesty's side.
Even the confidants by his side were all women.
It was impossible for them not to have other thoughts about the Empress, who ruled the Demon Realm and was the most beautiful woman in the world.
And today's Prodigy Banquet was also a chance for them to show off in front of Her Majesty.
Thinking of this, they were even more aggressive and full of fighting spirit.
"Xiyao, have you ever thought that our first meeting after six thousand years would be under such an opportunity?"
Jun Fan stood in the crowd, his figure tall and straight, his face handsome, and he had a different kind of elegance.
At this moment, he clenched his fists tightly as he stared at the Black Jade Carriage above him. A cold smile flashed across the corner of his mouth, and he quickly recovered his previous indifference and confidence.
Above the Saint Mountain, clouds and mist curled around it. It was like a fairyland, magnificent and vast.
Very soon, the four female officials of Empress Xi Yao, Qing Zhu, Qing Mei, Qing Ju, and Qing Lan, walked quickly to the front of the carriage.
Qing Zhu's expression was respectful and submissive. She extended her jade-like hands and lifted the curtain of the black jade carriage.
In the next moment, Empress Xi Yao, who was dressed in a phoenix robe, walked out.
Her black hair was as black as ink, and her figure was tall and slender. There was a touch of red makeup between her eyebrows, and it contained a great amount of dignity.
However, his face couldn't be seen clearly, as if it was covered by a layer of chaotic fog. The eyes that were revealed were cold and indifferent, carrying nobility and loftiness.
"Young Master Changge, please."
However, as soon as she spoke, her expression suddenly became cold and gentle, like the melting of snow, and it actually carried a different kind of charm.
"Changge is a little flattered to have Empress Xi Yao welcome me like this."
Accompanied by a light laughter, a man in black clothes walked out of the carriage.
There was a sense of transcendence in his every movement, as if everything in the world was centered around him.
Even his hair was shining with brilliant divine light, like a young god. His aura was deep and unfathomable. Many creatures of the Demon Realm didn't dare to look directly at him, and their hearts were filled with shock and horror.
"Young Master Changge … He's actually in the same carriage as Her Majesty."
This scene made the expressions of many important figures of the Demon Realm change slightly.
How much importance did he have to place in the same carriage as Her Majesty?
Although they knew that there was a different world in the carriage, and it wasn't as narrow as it looked from the outside, they wouldn't say that it was very intimate.
However, it had to be known that even the closest female official to Empress Xi Yao wasn't qualified to be in the same carriage as her.
Not to mention that she was walking out with a young man, especially in front of all the important figures and people of the Demon Realm in the world.
This was simply something that they didn't dare to imagine before.
However, when they thought of Gu Changge's status and strength, they couldn't help but smile bitterly in silence.
This kind of thing, when they thought about it carefully, there was nothing wrong with it.
It was just that before this, Her Majesty's temperament had always been cold and indifferent, and no one was close to her.
Suddenly witnessing such a scene made them feel extremely shocked.
However, unlike the shocked and incredulous expressions of the people of the Demon Realm, looking at this scene, Jun Fan's expression was a little gloomy.
Although he disguised it very well, it was still difficult to hide the coldness between his eyebrows.
He didn't expect to meet Xi Yao again after six thousand years, and see her so close to another young man. Although there was no intimate action, it made him feel very uncomfortable.
It was true that he wanted to kill Xi Yao to avenge her, but as his former fiancée, how could she walk with another man?
However, Jun Fan's temperament was not simple, and his expression quickly returned to normal, without the slightest change.
Not far from him, Song Youwei noticed Jun Fan's expression just now, and her expression was a little puzzled.
However, she didn't ask much, and walked towards him with light steps, her dress fluttering.
"Brother Jun Fan." She smiled and greeted him.
Jun Fan looked at her, and a smile appeared on his face. "Youwei."
"I thought you would return to the Black-White Academy during this period of time, but I didn't expect you to stay at the Grand Tutor Residence and only come now."
Song Youwei smiled slightly. "I can't help it, Father gave me some instructions and couldn't leave. Could it be that Brother Jun Fan has something to ask of me?"
When she spoke, she appeared very natural and unrestrained, and was extremely gentle and natural, as if she was facing everyone like this.
Hearing this, Jun Fan smiled and said, "I originally wanted to ask you about the big shot from the Upper Realm, but it seems that there's no need for that now …"
As he spoke, he looked at the young man who was sitting on the peak of the Holy Mountain, chatting happily with Empress Xi Yao, like a god descending to the mortal world.
Song Youwei was a little surprised and then said bluntly, "So what Brother Junfan wants to ask is about Young Master Changge. Although I've only met him once, he gave me a good first impression. He's a perfect man … to the point where he's so perfect that it's unreal."
Hearing Song Youwei's words, Jun Fan felt a little uncomfortable.
However, on the surface, he still said casually, "Is that so? It's rare to see you give a person such a high evaluation. "
He had asked Song Youwei's opinion of him before, and although her evaluation of him was also very high, it was definitely not to the extent of Gu Changge's.
Compared to the two of them, he now seemed very dim and lackluster.
Song Youwei pursed her lips and smiled. "I've indeed never seen such a perfect man before. He gives me an unreal feeling, like flowers in a mirror or the moon in the water."
Jun Fan nodded and didn't continue to dwell on this issue.
In any case, even if Gu Changge was standing next to Empress Xi Yao today, he would still choose the path of assassination.
This was a matter of the Demon Realm, and Gu Changge was just an outsider in the end.
If Gu Changge didn't intervene, then things would be easy to handle.
If Gu Changge wanted to intervene, he didn't mind adding more trouble.
What's more, if something happened to Gu Changge in the Demon Realm, Empress Xi Yao would definitely not be able to bear the responsibility.
Then, Jun Fan and Song Youwei continued to talk, and he indirectly asked how many people her father had brought with him this time.
He and Song Youwei were very familiar with each other, like close friends.
They had trained together before and also fought in the Black-White Academy's competition. It was hard to tell who was better.
Because their family background, appearance, and cultivation were quite compatible, many busybodies thought that they had a close relationship.
However, Jun Fan knew very well that Song Youwei treated everyone like this. She seemed gentle and generous, and had a sense of propriety, but she had always maintained a distance that was neither too far nor too close.
It was true that he was attracted to Song Youwei, but he wasn't very clear about Song Youwei's attitude towards him.
Hearing these questions, Song Youwei didn't doubt him and told him everything.
"Is that so? Then I'm relieved. "
Jun Fan nodded slightly in his heart and began to think about how to make a move.
For him and his subordinates, this was a rare opportunity that could not be missed.
"Young Master Changge, how much do you think the prodigies of the Demon Realm are inferior to those of the Upper Realm?"
At this moment, at the peak of the Holy Mountain, Empress Xi Yao and Gu Changge sat together.
She pointed at the many prodigies of the Demon Realm below and couldn't help but ask with a smile.
She didn't ask how they compared.
This was because she knew that no matter how she compared them, the prodigies of the Demon Realm were ultimately inferior to those of the Upper Realm.
Whether it was talent or background, they were far inferior.
However, she wanted to know what the prodigies of the Demon Realm were like in the eyes of Gu Changge, the number one person of the younger generation in the Upper Realm.
Gu Changge smiled when he heard this. Then, his gaze fell and swept across the vast group of young figures. He said, "In Changge's opinion, the only difference between the prodigies of the Demon Realm is the difference in their cultivation environment. After all, the environment determines their horizons and the people they come into contact with … In terms of cultivation, the prodigies of the Demon Realm are at most below the middle level in the Upper Realm, or even lower."
Empress Xi Yao nodded thoughtfully. She didn't think that Gu Changge's words were unpleasant. Instead, they were very true.
How could the prodigies of the Demon Realm compare to those who were born in the everlasting families and immortal sects?
"That's why I want to change the environment of the Demon Realm, but there are always people who want to stop me and choose to be conservative." She sighed softly, with a faint sadness between her eyebrows.
Gu Changge glanced at her and smiled. "Whether it's merits or demerits, there will be future generations to judge. Besides, I think that with your ability, you can do all of this. You don't have to worry about it."
"Young Master Changge, do you believe in me that much?" Empress Xi Yao looked at him deeply. Her black hair danced in the wind, and her facial features were picturesque. There was not the slightest flaw to be found.
Gu Changge smiled and then sighed regretfully. He said, "Why wouldn't I? Where there's a will, there's a way. In my eyes, the Empress is such a person. When there's a thought in her heart, her thought can fill the mountains and seas. "
"Unfortunately, I'm just an outsider after all. I can't do anything in the Demon Realm. Otherwise, I would want to help the Empress."
Hearing this, Empress Xi Yao stared at him blankly. For some reason, she felt a sense of loss in her heart.
He understood her so well, but in the end, he was just an outsider.
Gu Changge saw her expression and continued to smile. "Now, this huge Demon Realm is like a plate of quicksand. The more you try to grasp it, the more it will scatter through your fingers. With internal and external troubles, the Empress can achieve this with her own strength. How can I not admire her? "
Empress Xi Yao's lips curled up slightly, but this smile quickly disappeared.
She asked with some interest, "Young Master Changge, are you flattering me?"
Used to hearing all kinds of flattery and praise, she had long been tired of it.
If other people said this in front of her, she would have already sent people to drag them away and behead them.
But hearing it from Gu Changge's mouth, she couldn't help but feel happy.
This feeling made her feel very strange. Obviously, she was very tired of any man appearing around her.
But Gu Changge had never had such a feeling of boredom.
Whether it was now or the first time she met him at the Immortal Academy, it was always like this.
"Flattery? If Her Majesty thinks so, it's not wrong. I rarely say such things to people, unless I have some ulterior motives … "
Hearing this, Gu Changge smiled, very straightforward and calm.
Empress Xi Yao stared at him again, seeming to be interested in his simple and straightforward attitude. "Then what does Young Master Changge want from me?"
"There are only two kinds. One is power, the other is body. This kind of question doesn't seem to be difficult to answer."
Gu Changge was still smiling.
Hearing him say this, Empress Xi Yao suddenly felt a little flustered, but on the surface, she still maintained her usual calm and composed expression.
"The Prodigy Banquet has begun …"
She changed the topic and looked at the many Prodigies at the foot of the Holy Mountain. They seemed to be watching intently.
Gu Changge smiled and didn't say anything else.
To him, this Prodigy Banquet was nothing more than a big show to watch.
Just now, under his watch, he had already found Jun Bufan's location.
It would be fine if he kept a low profile.
Unfortunately, he was too ostentatious. There were so many Prodigies present. If Gu Changge wanted to check the providence points one by one, he didn't know how much time it would take.
However, Jun Bufan had to appear and deliberately show off his powerful talent and cultivation.
Of course, the main reason was Song Youwei.
Gu Changge had been paying attention to her movements. When he saw her walking towards a man in blue, he immediately had a guess in his heart.
Then, he checked the providence points.
Jun Bufan's identity in this life was instantly revealed. However, he didn't want to alert the enemy and planned to watch the show first.
The water in the Demon Realm was very muddy.
Even Empress Xi Yao was just a chess piece to be used by others in Gu Changge's eyes.
While she was playing with Jun Bufan, there were actually many eyes watching her in the dark.
In this game, she seemed to have the upper hand, but in fact, even Jun Bufan could easily find out many of her movements and traces.
Not to mention those big fishes hidden in the dark.
The former Five Emperors of the Demon Realm disappeared in the end. Did they really die?
In Gu Changge's opinion, Jun Bufan's greater value was to lure out the big fishes hidden behind him.
And just as Gu Changge and Empress Xi Yao were talking.
The Prodigy Banquet at the foot of the Holy Mountain had already begun. Many Prodigies displayed their powerful methods and used their strongest Divine Abilities to continuously climb higher.
The cliff was majestic, and there were many array patterns and talisman lights flickering, emitting a powerful pressure.
Those with weaker cultivation would find it difficult to hold on after a few steps and would fall down.
And this was only one of the checkpoints left in the Holy Mountain.
If one wanted to reach the top, not only would they have to hold on to the checkpoint here, but they would also have to be wary of other people's sneak attacks, which was not easy.
Below the mountain peak, there were 108 white jade stairs, on which there were various colors of light, lingering with a terrifying aura.
All the Demon Realm Prodigies were thinking of ways to quickly reach the top, using all kinds of methods.
There were also two people who had a conflict, fighting here. Terrifying fluctuations swept in all directions, attracting everyone's attention.
Similar scenes like this were too common.
In the Prodigy Banquet that was held once every 20 years in the Demon Realm, there would almost always be conflicts and fights. Countless people of the younger generation died here.
Even the family forces behind them did not dare to intervene.
Over time, many people also regarded this kind of Prodigy Banquet as an opportunity to have a fair battle, where life and death would be decided.
Gu Changge naturally had no interest in this kind of thing.
According to the normal routine and plot, a scene like the Prodigy Banquet that obviously gave the Son of Providence the limelight would generally not have any accidents.
Now, although Jun Bufan encountered a few opponents who claimed to be the young supreme masters of the Demon Realm, the terrifying fluctuations caused a commotion in the surroundings. Many people looked over in shock.
However, Gu Changge knew that such a battle would not last long.
As the son of the Demon Emperor who had been reborn, Jun Bufan's means and strength were absolutely no problem for him to crush the Demon Realm Prodigies of the same level.
In addition, it was normal for him to hide his strength and pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger with the halo of providence.
Therefore, after glancing at Jun Bufan a few times, he lost the interest to watch.
Instead, he looked around, guessing where the chaos would start if there was going to be a big fight.
The Grand Tutor, the Heaven Conqueror, the Demon Realm Marshal … These people all had a lot of troops and were hiding nearby.
In addition, many of the big clans of the Demon Realm from the nine regions of the Demon Realm had also come here. How could there be a lack of experts around them?
However, whether or not those experts were on their side was something that he wasn't sure about.
Now, it seemed that Empress Xi Yao was really surrounded by danger.
"The owner of the Spring Breeze Jasper Pavilion, Bai Lian 'er, probably also came here, but I don't know where she is hiding now."
"It seems that in addition to Empress Xi Yao, Bai Lian 'er and the others also don't know the true identity of Jun Bufan, so they are still looking around. What exactly is the brocade bag in her hand? Why did the Xuanyang Demon Emperor entrust it to Demon Master Bai Kun … "
Gu Changge narrowed his eyes and scanned the surroundings. From what he could see, there were simply too many living beings near the Sacred Mountain. They were densely packed, like mountains upon mountains.
It was really difficult to find Bai Lian 'er.
If she was smart, she would definitely change her appearance and not show it in front of outsiders.
As the daughter of the former Demon Master Bai Kun, her appearance should not be a secret in the Demon Realm.
Thinking of this, Gu Changge's eyes flashed. He waved his hand to summon his subordinates and ordered, "Pay attention to the surroundings. If you see anyone with a suspicious aura approaching, take them down immediately."
"Yes, Young Master."
Tian Ze and the other experts quietly hid in the void and quickly disappeared.
Seeing this scene, Qing Zhu, who was standing behind Empress Xi Yao, looked a little unnatural, but no one paid attention to her at the moment.
She knew that something big would definitely happen today.
Whether it was for Empress Xi Yao or the entire Demon Realm, it was very likely to have an indescribable impact.
Now, her palms were full of cold sweat.
A few days ago, Jun Fan gave her the bottle of pill powder. After returning, she was very uneasy and nervous.
However, considering that this matter was related to her life and death, she calmed down and began to implement it.
Usually, they were in charge of the many resources used by Empress Xi Yao for cultivation, as well as the spiritual tea and immortal fruits she drank every day.
Therefore, she easily put the pill powder in, and Empress Xi Yao did not notice anything unusual.
Just as Jun Fan said, the ingredients contained in the pill powder did not have any toxicity.
Even if Empress Xi Yao was suspicious in the end, she would not suspect her.
Therefore, Qing Zhu was relieved and waited for Jun Fan to implement the last step of his plan today.
However, now, Gu Changge was beside Empress Xi Yao, which made her feel that things seemed to have become a little tricky.
Just now, Gu Changge had sent his men to kill those suspicious people.
Could it be that Gu Changge had noticed something?
Qing Zhu was a little uneasy, especially from the conversation between Empress Xi Yao and Gu Changge just now. If something unexpected happened, Gu Changge would definitely not stand by and watch.
In this way, how much chance did Jun Fan's plan have?
"What's wrong? Did Young Master Changge notice something? "
Empress Xi Yao was paying attention to the many young elites below when she suddenly heard Gu Changge's order. She could not help but raise her eyebrows and ask.
Gu Changge smiled and said, "Nothing, I'm just suddenly a little worried."
Empress Xi Yao knew what he meant, and waves of warmth flowed through her heart. She smiled and did not ask any more questions.
In fact, every time at the Prodigy's Banquet, she would be attacked, either by the remnants of the five Thearchs or by other demons.
She had long been used to this kind of thing.
If there were no accidents, in this Prodigy's Banquet, there would definitely be many people who could not hold back and would choose the right time to make a move.
And Gu Changge had sent his men to search for suspicious people, undoubtedly to protect her in a disguised way.
This made Empress Xi Yao feel that strange feeling from before again.
For more than six thousand years, no matter what kind of crisis she encountered, she had always solved it alone.
Sometimes, Grand Tutor would help her think of ideas and give her advice.
But most of the time, she faced it alone, relying on her iron-blooded methods and cultivation to control and clean up everything.
After all, she was exhausted and exhausted.
Now that she saw Gu Changge, she could not help but feel a sense of dependence in her heart.
However, this feeling was dispelled by her shaking her head in the end. She was the Empress of the Boundless Demon Realm, and Gu Changge was just a young junior after all.
"Empress Xi Yao, what do you think of this person?"
While Empress Xi Yao was in a complicated mood, Gu Changge spoke up. Her eyes fell on Jun Fan, who was standing at the foot of the Holy Mountain, and she asked with great interest.
