"It's nothing. It's just a small conflict."
Gu Changge smiled and shook his head.
Seeing this, although there were many doubts and puzzles in everyone's hearts, at this time, they could only choose to suppress it in their hearts and not ask anymore.
At this moment, a jade jar flew out from the depths of the demonic clouds and landed in Daoist Qing Long's hand.
"Cut that stone open."
Chan Hongyi's voice was heard.
Seeing this, the crowd immediately understood that Gu Changge had lent 100 Immortal Crystals to the red-robed female devil. Why did the two of them fight just now?
"Yes, master."
Daoist Qing Long said respectfully. He did not dare to look at what was in the jade jar and passed it to the white-bearded old man.
"Young Master Changge is so generous."
The white-bearded old man and the others naturally knew what was in the jade jar. Their eyes were burning with desire.
After receiving the jade jar, they checked it like before and nodded in satisfaction. Only then did they pass the Ominous Stone to the people from the Demon Mountain.
"The Ominous Stone …"
Daoist Qing Long's expression was slightly fearful. He looked at the black stone in front of him and did not waste any time. He tried to cut it open.
At this moment, the crowd was also curious and looked over. They wanted to know what was hidden in the Ominous Stone.
Soon, a silver knife appeared in Daoist Qing Long's hand. It seemed to be made of Immortal Silver Gold. It buzzed and was very sharp.
He waved his sleeve and sealed the surrounding void. Then, he began to carefully cut the stone.
Back then, he was also one of the people who mingled in the major stone gambling dens. Naturally, he was familiar with the method of cutting stones.
Not long after, the stone fragments fell one by one. They were mixed with dense black light as if they were corroded by the Ominous Qi.
The black light that gushed out was even denser. Even the Demonic Qi that filled the air flooded in all directions with a terrifying corrosive aura. Ordinary cultivators did not dare to get close.
Buzz!
With a crisp cracking sound, the silver knife in Daoist Master Qing Long's hand seemed to have come into contact with something. Fine cracks appeared on its surface, and then it broke apart.
"The thing in the Ominous Stone is out …"
A great sect's sect master's eyes narrowed as he stared at the Ominous Stone, only to see a dense black light emerging from within.
Everyone looked over, unable to take their eyes off him, as if they were afraid that they would miss something.
The dense black light turned into a ball of light.
A palm-sized wooden comb floated silently in the air. It was unknown what kind of wood it was made of, but it was tainted with an extremely dense and ominous aura.
The edges seemed to be a bit damaged. There were some bloodstains that were extremely ancient.
"What … the thing inside the Ominous Stone is actually a wooden comb?"
This scene shocked everyone. It was simply unbelievable.
Even the Azure Dragon Founder, who was cutting the stone, was stunned. The movements of his hands stopped.
In their opinion, the thing hidden within this ominous stone was definitely a peerless vicious object that would bring misfortune to all living beings and cultivators.
That was why he was so cautious.
But who would have thought that it was actually a somewhat broken wooden comb? This was completely beyond everyone's expectations.
"This wooden comb is extremely old. Judging from its age, it has definitely surpassed many eras!"
"The bloodstains on it are the source of the misfortune …"
Many legendary figures of the older generation said cautiously. They felt that this wooden comb was not simple at all. It was intertwined with natural Dao and principles. In some aspects, it was even rarer than natural objects.
Most importantly, the bloodstains on the wooden comb were very likely from a certain supreme existence!
A trace of blood was the reason why the Huanxi Sacred Ground was encountering misfortune.
Just how terrifying was that supreme existence?
Just as everyone was feeling shocked, the wooden comb suddenly left the stone and turned into a ray of black light, flying toward Chan Hongyi, who was in the depths of the demonic clouds.
"Does this wooden comb belong to the red-robed female devil? Is it her original item?"
This scene caused everyone to be extremely shocked, and tempestuous waves arose in their hearts.
"So it's this item."
Gu Changge shook his head gently.
He naturally recognized this wooden comb. To be precise, this wooden comb came from him.
He had personally given it to Chan Hongyi.
However, the memory fragments were too chaotic, and he could not remember clearly when he had given it to her.
It seemed to be … the first gift he gave her after she killed the bandits.
"Long time no see …"
In the depths of the demonic clouds, Chan Hongyi looked at the slightly damaged wooden comb in her hand. Her eyes flashed with a look of preciousness as she carefully put it away.
As she spoke, she looked outside and seemed to see Gu Changge looking at her.
"Master …"
"Why are you so cruel?"
She murmured these words softly from the corner of her mouth.
"That Immortal King who died in Kun Mountain … might be related to the red-robed female devil. Could she have killed him?"
"The red-robed female devil's strength at her peak is unimaginable …"
The white-bearded old man and the others looked at each other and saw shock and fear in each other's eyes. They were all guessing who the bloodstains on the wooden comb belonged to.
After all, an Immortal King had died in Kun Mountain.
Although it was a long time ago, it could be investigated and conclusive evidence could be found.
Soon, the red-robed female devil's arrival in Kun Wu City with the Demonic Mountain caused quite a stir. The news of the Ominous Stone being cut instantly shook the entire city.
Many of the ancient cities in the vicinity heard the news immediately.
The various orthodoxies and forces in Kunwu City also quickly spread the news of what had happened.
In this Divine Stone Convention, a piece of the Immortal Fetus was cut open.
The Stone of Misfortune, which represented misfortune, was also cut open.
This was beyond many people's expectations. Most importantly, both stones were cut by Gu Changge at a cost of a hundred immortal crystals.
The red-robed female devil even personally borrowed immortal crystals from Gu Changge to cut the stone in front of everyone.
This news caused a stir that was not any smaller than the previous news.
Many orthodoxies were guessing the relationship between Gu Changge and the red-robed female devil.
All kinds of theories were spread, and the most agreed upon one was that during the battle at the Divine City, Gu Changge and the red-robed female devil might have reached some kind of agreement.
This also explained why the red-robed female devil treated Gu Changge differently from the others.
This caused no less discussion than the Heavenly Tomes being cut out of the Immortal Fetus.
Of course, they were interested in what was recorded in the Heavenly Tomes. That was the matter of the orthodoxies.
Ordinary cultivators knew that this matter had nothing to do with them, so they were very gossipy and guessed the unknown relationship between Gu Changge and the red-robed female devil.
After all, the world was not short of gossipy people.
Gu Changge was now the top person of his generation in the Upper Realm, the leader of the Upper Realm, and other titles. His every move would cause a stir.
This time, his negotiation with the red-robed female devil was seen by many as a love-hate relationship.
One was a sky-pride of the era, the other was a peerless demon from an unknown era. It was said that she was so beautiful that she could bring disaster to the world.
Once this topic was spread, it seemed like it could not be stopped.
This was especially the case for the group of young existences, who were all very interested in it.
In the palace, the Heavenly Tomes cut out from the Immortal Fetus appeared in Gu Changge's hand. On the silver pages, there was a brilliant light, and ancient words appeared one after another.
He did not care about the various rumors and discussions in the outside world.
After Chan Hongyi took back her wooden comb, she left with the people from the Demon Mountain. They did not stay in Kunwu City any longer.
This made everyone in Kunwu City let out a long sigh of relief.
In these few days, the unusual situation in Mount Kun became more and more serious. The Ji Clan gathered the experts of various orthodoxies and prepared to attack Mount Kun.
If Gu Changge guessed correctly, the Ji Clan would attack Mount Kun in three days.
This was also an opportunity for him.
After that, Gu Changge tried to flip the Heavenly Tomes and open it. However, like before, it was to no avail.
An abundant amount of energy surged out and almost knocked the Heavenly Book out of his hand.
Even with his current realm, it was difficult for him to open it. After studying it for a while, he softly muttered the words on it. He vaguely felt that he had seen this Heavenly Tomes somewhere before.
"Immortal Seal …"
However, there was another point without a doubt. Not only did this Heavenly Tomes hide a certain secret, but it could also be used as a sealing treasure.
If Gu Changge guessed correctly, the two words "Immortal Seal" should be immortal words.
He could use these two immortal words as an attack method. The sealing power contained in it was not simple.
Of course, with his current strength, he did not really need to use such a method.
"Young Master, according to your instructions, I've found a few famous figures who have studied the language of the Hidden Immortals. They're working through the night to translate the sword technique."
At this moment, Yin Mei walked in from outside the palace.
Gu Changge came back to his senses. He nodded and asked, "How's the progress?"
"In about three days, they should be able to translate the sword technique by 660 words," replied Yin Mei.
Gu Changge nodded slightly. Of course, he would not take out the complete sword technique. He would only cut out a part of it and let the others translate it.
He would then integrate it in the end.
"Oh right, have you arranged for the assassins of the Spring Breeze Jasper Pavilion?"
Then, he thought of another matter and narrowed his eyes.
"Reporting to Young Master, I have already informed Bai Lian 'er of this matter. She has arranged for five Great Sage Realm and one Quasi-Supreme Realm assassin to take action today," Yin Mei replied respectfully.
"The guardian behind the little War Immortal is only a Supreme. I've already arranged for people to hold him back. In just half an hour, the little War Immortal will be dead for sure."
Gu Changge nodded. "Don't leave any traces. I trust you."
By then, all the orthodoxies in the Upper Realms were very scared of him. As a result, he could not kill the little War Immortal openly.
Otherwise, it would be a good excuse for other forces to gang up on him.
However, it would be much easier for him to arrange for assassins to kill the little War Immortal secretly.
Judging from what had happened at the Divine Stone Convention, the little War Immortal had obviously known Su Qingge's identity.
For Gu Changge, it would be better to get rid of such a hidden danger as soon as possible.
After the Divine Stone Convention, all races would relax a little bit. The little War Immortal would not expect Gu Changge to kill him.
As to the Fighting Immortals Mansion behind the little War Immortal, Gu Changge had plenty of ways to get rid of them.
Then Gu Changge sent people to find Ji Yaoxing and Ji Chuyue. Jiang Chen could still play a role in this attack on Mount Kun.
Given Ji Yaoxing's character, he would never let go of such a good opportunity.
Gu Changge could also give it a try to see whether he could take the Immortal Boat of Fortune from Jiang Chen. After all, the weapon spirit of the Immortal Boat of Fortune had almost recovered after such a long time of nurturing.
Soon, footsteps came from outside the palace. Ji Chuyue and Ji Yaoxing, who looked anxious, arrived.
For the whole Ji Clan, Gu Changge was their savior.
Without Gu Changge's call, the other forces would not have helped the Ji Clan in rescuing their ancestors.
Therefore, when Ji Chuyue learned that Gu Changge had something to discuss with them, she had to bite the bullet and come, no matter how reluctant she was.
