Gu Changge's plan was very meticulous. Even if Lin Wu did not act according to his plan, he had other ways to take down Sky Deer City.
After all, Sky Deer Empyrean Maiden was in his hands. Her life was in his hands.
Since Sky Deer Empyrean Maiden accompanied Lin Wu to save Luluo, she must have been prepared to die.
Thus, she must have made arrangements. She had a disciple or successor who would take over her identity and continue to guard the formation core of Sky Deer City.
Gu Changge was thinking about this.
Since Sky Deer Empyrean Maiden was in his hands, Gu Changge had a way to force her to submit.
After all, there were very few cultivators in this world who could disregard their master's danger.
Not to mention the disciple or successor who was personally nurtured by Sky Deer Empyrean Maiden. Even if their personalities were different, it would not be much different from hers.
As the guardian of Sky Deer City, Sky Deer Empyrean Maiden had fallen into his hands.
When the final battle broke out, the Eight Desolates Ten Regions would be in a perilous situation.
Furthermore, there was no more suitable hostage in this world than Sky Deer Empyrean Maiden.
Furthermore, no one in the Eight Desolates Ten Regions knew more about Sky Deer City and Jiekong Abyss than her.
It seemed that the correct route to pass through Jiekong Abyss would have to start with her.
After that, Gu Changge took the two of them and left. He planned to capture Lin Wu and start the next step of his plan.
"Who exactly are you?"
"Where is Luluo now?"
At the same time, in a desert a million miles away from the shore of the Boundary Monument Sea.
Yellow sand billowed, revealing many skeletons buried under it. It was obvious that this was once a battlefield.
A young man was filled with grief. His body was covered in blood, and his injuries were shocking. He was angrily asking the tall woman in front of him.
The young man was Lin Wu. However, there was a wound on his body that was so deep that his bones could be seen, and blood was flowing out of it.
The rest of the people he brought with him also surrounded the tall woman in front of him. Their expressions were also cold and angry.
They did not expect that Luluo, who they had saved, would be an imposter.
While Lin Wu was not paying attention, he had almost cut him in half.
If it wasn't for Lin Wu's quick reaction that far surpassed the others and his powerful strength that allowed him to dodge quickly, that sword strike would have been enough to heavily injure him.
The tall woman was Shen Chun, who was disguised as Luluo under Gu Changge's orders.
At this moment, her expression was very cold and mocking. Even though she was surrounded by everyone, she was not worried at all. She seemed to be very confident.
"If you want to know whether that guy is dead or alive, then I advise you to be more polite to me."
"If something happens to me, then she can forget about living."
Sha Chun said indifferently. He did not care about the murderous looks on everyone's faces.
She was also holding a blood-stained longsword in her hand. It was sparkling and translucent, and a powerful aura was circulating around it.
It was this sword that had almost pierced through Lin Wu.
"Damn it!"
Lin Wu was shocked and angry at the same time. His face was cold and his fists were clenched so tightly that they made cracking sounds.
However, he didn't dare to make a move against the tall woman in front of him for fear of harming Lü Luo.
Before Luluo's life or death was confirmed, he couldn't relax.
This feeling of his weakness being firmly grasped by the other party simply made him feel extremely depressed and resentful.
"In the end, all our efforts were in vain."
"I wonder what happened to that expert who attacked us?"
Granny Lü Cui and the others had bitter expressions. They did not expect things to turn out like this.
They were very angry, but more than that, they were unwilling and fearful.
They thought that the matter was over and they could escape back to Sky Deer City. Who would have thought that the young lady they saved would be an imposter?
"Gu Changge is really despicable!"
"He looks so aloof, but he did such a repulsive thing!"
They kept cursing in their hearts. If cursing was useful, Gu Changge would have been killed by them countless times.
At this moment, in the distant sky, a Great Path suddenly extended over, as if it was tearing the universe apart. Soon, it landed in front of everyone.
"Gu Changge!"
Lin Wu and the others could not help but be frightened as they looked at the young man who had crossed millions of miles in the blink of an eye.
If it was not Gu Changge, who could it be?
Behind Gu Changge, there were two other figures. One was Ah Da, wearing the Dark Metal Armor.
The other was naturally the Empyrean Deer Mystic Lady.
But what made Lin Wu feel incredulous and frightened was that the current Empyrean Deer Mystic Lady did not look much different from the one he had seen before.
But her aura had undergone an earth-shattering change. It was strange and deep, with a frightening uneasiness. It was as if she was a completely different person.
He could not help but be shocked. A great sense of absurdity and uneasiness rose in his heart.
Could it be that something had happened to someone as strong as the Empyrean Deer Mystic Lady and had become like this?
The Empyrean Deer Mystic Lady was his greatest support now.
He thought that she could deal with Gu Changge, but who would have thought that she would become like this in the blink of an eye?
"Why did it become like this?"
"Is Gu Changge really so strong that he is invincible?"
This made Lin Wu feel even more uneasy. He even felt helpless and hopeless.
Could it be that he was really going to die here today?
The Empyrean Deer Mystic Lady looked at Lin Wu and the others calmly as if she did not know them.
The shock in Granny Lü Cui and the others was actually similar to Lin Wu, but they did not know the identity of the Empyrean Deer Mystic Lady.
"I didn't expect that the existence who saved us just now would be captured now …"
They felt bitter in their hearts, and waves of despair and powerlessness surged.
"Gu Changge, you can kill me or torture me as you wish."
"But you have to remember, even if you kill me, you can't make us surrender and beg for mercy!"
Lin Wu's expression was very firm at this moment. His eyes were full of cold hatred. He had thought everything through and calmed down.
After all, he was going to die anyway. What else did he care? He was just short of cursing.
The others were all silent. At this time, resistance was futile.
In fact, before they came here, they were already prepared to die. But when they finally saw hope, it was destroyed again.
This feeling was like falling from the clouds straight into the abyss.
"Don't worry, I don't plan to kill you now."
Hearing this, Gu Changge only glanced at everyone indifferently.
His gaze stopped on Lin Wu. He was a little interested to see what kind of cheat he had.
But before conquering Sky Deer City, it was better to let him live first.
Behind Gu Changge, Ah Da saw this and shot out a black rune. It merged with heaven and earth and turned into bracelets and ankles, building a cage to imprison everyone.
From the beginning to the end, no one dared to resist.
Lin Wu gritted his teeth. He was sullen and angry, but because of the terrifying gap between them, he could only submit.
If he resisted, he was afraid that everyone present would die.
Then, Gu Changge rolled up his sleeves, and everything became blurry.
The void was torn apart, and a passage through the universe appeared, bringing everyone imprisoned to the place where they were stationed.
"Senior Empyrean Deer Mystic Lady, what's going on?"
Lin Wu was imprisoned in the rune cage. He looked at the Empyrean Deer Mystic Lady in front of him and could not help but ask.
Hearing this, the Empyrean Deer Mystic Lady looked at Gu Changge.
Seeing that he did not care, she turned back and looked at Lin Wu. She said calmly, "I want to save Sky Deer City and the Eight Desolates Ten Regions."
Her words were short, and she did not explain much.
Lin Wu was stunned.
Judging from her expression and the way she spoke, the Empyrean Deer Mystic Lady was obviously the same as before.
But why did she say that? How could she save Sky Deer City and the Eight Desolates Ten Regions?
Was she going to feed the demon with her body?
After saying that, a strange Daoist Rhyme appeared on the Empyrean Deer Mystic Lady's face. Gradually, her face became blurry and could not be seen clearly.
There were no restrictions or restrictions on her body. She could move freely and was not suppressed like what Lin Wu and the others thought.
Seeing this, Lin Wu was stunned and could not react for a long time.
He had always thought that the Empyrean Deer Mystic Lady was suppressed by Gu Changge and became a prisoner.
But the truth in front of him made him confused. He could not figure it out at all.
Compared to before, the Empyrean Deer Mystic Lady's aura was obviously different.
But her actions, the way she spoke, the changes in her expression, and the fluctuations of her cultivation were all the same.
"I thought you would beg me to let them go."
"As the Empyrean Deer Mystic Lady, you don't care about their lives?"
On the golden path, Gu Changge looked at the Empyrean Deer Mystic Lady and smiled thoughtfully.
The Empyrean Deer Mystic Lady shook her head. "There is no point in doing that. If you want to save the Eight Desolates Ten Regions, there will definitely be sacrifices."
"So in your eyes, they have become necessary sacrifices?"
Gu Changge narrowed his eyes. There was a strange look in his eyes.
Then, he looked at her seriously, as if he wanted to see if she was pretending or if that was her plan all along.
To him, it did not matter if the Empyrean Deer Mystic Lady was pretending or if she was tainted by the Demonic Qi. It was the same.
As long as she was in his hands, with such a hostage as bait, he could make the array defense of Empyrean Abyss and Sky Deer City useless.
Moreover, after her Demonic Heart, the Empyrean Deer Mystic Lady's attitude towards the invasion of the Eight Desolates Ten Regions had changed greatly.
The most fundamental reason was the tragic scene of the destruction of the city and the death of the people in the Great Destruction Demonic Region.
Subconsciously, the Empyrean Deer Mystic Lady had already thought that it was a fact that could not be changed in the future, a manifestation of a fragment of the future.
After all, at her level, she was very clear about the truth of many things.
Even she thought that it was a fragment of the future, which was why she developed her current demonic consciousness.
"If sacrificing them can protect Empyrean Deer City and the Eight Desolates Ten Regions."
"Then it is worth it." The Empyrean Deer Mystic Lady's voice was very calm.
Gu Changge smiled. There was a strange look in his eyes, and he did not say anything else.
Soon, the golden path extended and landed directly where the Gu Family was stationed.
Except for Lin Wu, everyone else was locked up in the other dungeons by Gu Changge, including the Empyrean Deer Mystic Lady.
As a captive, Gu Changge did not trust the Empyrean Deer Mystic Lady. He still needed some time to observe.
However, she was after all a person who had attained the Dao. The power of ordinary seals and restrictions did not have much effect on her.
Therefore, the Gu Family had sent more powerhouses to watch over them. If there were any unusual movements, they would know at any time.
Finally, in the dungeons, Lin Wu and Lü Luo met again after a long time. Both of them had very complicated expressions.
"During this time, he did not make things difficult for you, right?"
Lin Wu was the first to speak. Looking at Lü Luo, who had obviously become much more haggard, he felt powerless again.
Now, even he had become a prisoner.
Lü Luo shook her head, her face pale.
She noticed the injuries on Lin Wu's body and said worriedly, "Did that imposter hurt you?"
Lin Wu smiled bitterly and nodded. "It's fine now. At that time, I did not know that the imposter was not you. I thought that I could escape with you, but in the end …"
He let out a sigh and explained the entire sequence of events to her.
Of course, he did not mention the Empyrean Deer Mystic Lady's identity.
This was also the reason why the Empyrean Deer Mystic Lady did not ask him to reveal her whereabouts.
The Empyrean Deer Mystic Lady's identity was very special and noble. If the Eight Desolates and Ten Regions knew that she had fallen into Gu Changge's hands, it would cause a huge commotion and endless panic.
At that time, if the other powerhouses knew that the Empyrean Deer Mystic Lady was by his side, they would definitely be shocked. They would never allow the Empyrean Deer Mystic Lady to be in danger.
Unfortunately, the Empyrean Deer Mystic Lady had also met with misfortune. Compared to before, she was very different.
It even made Lin Wu feel that the Empyrean Deer Mystic Lady now was not the same person as before.
After hearing Lin Wu's story, Lü Luo's face turned even paler.
Especially when she heard that almost everyone in Sky Deer City had given up on her.
It was the same for the family behind her.
She couldn't help but tremble.
Although she had guessed that this would happen, she still felt waves of sadness.
"It seems that what he said has happened …"
Luluo glanced outside the prison and saw Gu Changge, who had a faint smile on her face the entire time. She couldn't help but shiver in fear.
From beginning to end, the development of the situation was exactly the same as what Gu Changge had told her.
Even the attitude of the people in Sky Deer City towards her and Lin Wu was not bad at all.
This method of guessing people's hearts made her uneasy.
"What's wrong with you?"
Lin Wu's heart was also very heavy.
In this cold, damp, and dark dungeon, he could not see the slightest bit of hope.
"Lin Wu … why don't we listen to Gu Changge?"
Lü Luo's face was very pale, and her voice was trembling.
It was easy to imagine how much decision and determination she had made when she said those words.
"What did you say?"
"Listen to Gu Changge?"
When Lin Wu heard this, he felt a buzzing sound in his head, as if it had been struck by a giant bell. Suddenly, his mind went blank.
He even doubted his ears. Did he hear wrongly?
Lü Luo, who should have viewed Gu Changge as her greatest enemy, was now saying that they should listen to Gu Changge?
"Lü Luo, tell me, are you being threatened by Gu Changge?"
"Or did he use some method to control you? Why are you saying this? "
Lin Wu widened his eyes in disbelief. His voice was also trembling.
4.9
"No. Nothing at all. "
Lü Luo shook her head, a bitter smile on her face. She said, "Now that we are in Gu Changge's hands, do you think the people of Sky Deer City will come and save us?"
When he heard this, Lin Wu fell silent.
Not only would they not, but they would also be worried that they would expose the many secrets of Sky Deer City.
But that was something that could not be helped. At this time, whoever came to save them would face certain death.
Was it worth it to pay such a huge price for two young prodigies?
"But this is not a reason for us to betray the Eight Desolates Ten Regions and the families behind us."
Lin Wu's face was filled with righteousness as he rejected.
Lü Luo knew that it would be difficult to persuade Lin Wu. The family behind him valued him greatly.
After Lin Wu displayed his great talent, they had poured in many resources.
With Lin Wu's character, he would not betray his family.
"But Sky Deer City will be conquered sooner or later. All the powers will be drowned by the army of the upper world. Actually, we can bring the families behind us and submit to the upper world's powers.
"The Longevity Gu family behind Gu Changge is the oldest power in the upper world. Its foundation is unfathomable …
"As long as we help Gu Changge, he can guarantee that our families will be safely transported to the upper world."
Lü Luo said bitterly, saying this with difficulty.
She had never planned to do this before.
But after seeing Lin Wu today, all her plans were shaken.
Her family had treated her well, so even after knowing that her family had abandoned her, she did not complain.
But what had the powers of Sky Deer City and the sects of the Eight Desolates Ten Regions done for them?
What right did they have to lose their lives in this dark place for the sake of those sects?
And she knew that if Lin Wu refused, Gu Changge would definitely use other methods to force him.
They had no other choice from the start.
