The depths of the wasteland were silent. The night was like a curtain, and the world was pitch-black.
All the birds and beasts within a radius of millions of miles were prostrating on the ground. They had yet to recover from the previous shock.
The terrifying killing intent swept across the sky and the earth like a surging ocean, completely drowning that area.
Even though the aftermath had faded away, the killing intent still remained in every inch of space, causing all the creatures that stepped into that space to explode into a bloody mist.
Many young Heaven's Favorites who participated in this Hunting Meet were still in a state of shock. They looked at the place where the battle had just happened.
They had no idea what had just happened. Many Heaven's Favorites who tried to probe died tragically and turned into ashes on the spot.
"That aura just now, could it be Xiaoyao?"
"What did he go through?"
Yu Feiya stood on top of a mountain. Her dress was fluttering in the wind, and her figure was slender and graceful. There seemed to be radiance flowing on her face. She was noble and elegant, revealing an indescribable beauty.
She frowned and stared at the direction where the fluctuation came from.
From two of the terrifying auras, she felt the familiar aura of Tuoba Xiaoyao.
However, Tuoba Xiaoyao had always been low-key. Unless he encountered an undefeatable situation, he wouldn't reveal his strength.
This made Yu Feiya very puzzled. She couldn't figure out what kind of danger would he encounter in this Hunting Meet.
"Could it be related to the assassination that Xiaoyao mentioned?"
She felt a chill in her heart and felt a little uneasy. She hurriedly took out the communication jade and contacted the second prince, Yu Lie, fearing that something might have happened to him.
However, the message from the communication jade soon came that the second prince was safe and sound. She let out a long sigh of relief and felt a little relieved.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night, whether for the young Heaven's Favorites in the wasteland or for the many powerhouses in the outside world. Their hearts were shaken, and they couldn't calm down.
Tuoba Xiaoyao, the third young master of Tuoba Manor, had also become the focus of everyone's discussion in a short period of time.
Many people were guessing whether he had survived or not. If he had survived, what kind of secrets were hidden in his body?
Why had he kept a low profile for more than 20 years, hiding his strength and biding his time?
Many doubts hung over everyone's head. They kept looking at the five-colored exquisite black and yellow pagoda, waiting for the scene to return to normal.
However, it seemed that the shock it received last night was too great. The multicolored mysterious yellow pagoda could no longer project the scene of the wasteland like before.
While everyone was feeling regretful, they could only give up. They were prepared to wait for the Hunting Meet to end three days later before they went to investigate.
During this period of time, Emperor Yu also gave the order for numerous guards to guard the various entrances of this place and seal off the surrounding space. They were determined to find traces of the scar-faced man and the others.
Many people could tell that the scar-faced man's background was not simple. He had disguised himself as a disciple of the Heavenly Saber Sect to blend in.
The many divine abilities he displayed were even more terrifying. His murderous intent was sharp. Normal young Heaven's Favorites would definitely not be his opponent.
How could such a character not have a powerful figure guiding him from behind? They absolutely did not believe it.
"General Tuoba, do you have any clues? After all, that scarred man came for your daughter?"
Light and shadow flickered around Emperor Yu. It was very blurry. Strands of Draconic Qi of heaven and earth gathered, causing his spiritual body to become even more solid.
After all, he had not come here with his true body, so he would need to form a new spirit body every once in a while.
In his opinion, since this matter was brought here by Tuoba Yuntian's daughter, then the scar-faced man must have had some sort of interaction with her.
At that time, when the scar-faced man said that he was avenging his younger brother, Emperor Yu definitely did not believe it.
Hearing this, Tuoba Yuntian fell into deep thought. He began to think about whether he had offended anyone during this period of time.
But after thinking about it carefully, he did not have any enemies with whom he had a deep hatred.
"This humble one is also not sure. I'm currently sending people to investigate. If this matter is related to Qingyu, then we can only wait for her to come out before asking her." Tuoba Yuntian shook his head.
They completely did not expect that the scar-faced man was actually here for Tuoba Xiaoyao.
In their eyes, Tuoba Xiaoyao revealing his strength was completely a coincidence.
While the two were talking, Gu Changge suddenly laughed and said, "Instead of guessing like this, I think it's better to wait for Tuoba Manor's third young master to come out before asking him. After exchanging so many blows with that scar-faced man, he should have some understanding of his background."
"Young master Changge is right. We can ask Xiaoyao."
Tuoba Yuntian nodded in understanding.
The terrifying battle last night had given him too much of a shock. Even now, he still could not recover from it.
He never thought that his third son, who had always kept a low profile, had hidden so much.
Gu Changge's gaze carried a strange light as he looked towards the depths of the great wilderness.
After knowing Tuoba Xiaoyao's identity as a reincarnator, he had a plan to deal with Tuoba Xiaoyao.
But there was one more thing that was more important.
As a reincarnator, Tuoba Xiaoyao definitely knew that Yu Tianzheng would send people to assassinate Second Prince Yu Lie on the day of the Hunting Meet.
This time, the assassination of Second Prince Yu Lie and the plan to topple the Great Yu Celestial Dynasty should be ruined by Tuoba Xiaoyao.
Previously, Gu Changge felt that Emperor Yu was more cautious than before. He had sent many people to patrol the surroundings.
At that time, he was a little surprised. Now that he thought about it, it should be Tuoba Xiaoyao who leaked the news.
Then, Second Prince Yu Lie should have many life-saving items on him.
Even if Yu Tianzheng appeared at this time, it would probably be of no use. All of his plans and plans would be for naught.
Thinking about it this way, Tuoba Xiaoyao should have a countermeasure long ago. Even if his identity as the Heavenly Sovereign Sword Master was exposed, he should have a way out.
However, he should not dare to reveal his identity as a reincarnator …
Gu Changge felt that he needed to change his previous plan. If the Second Prince, Yu Lie, were to be assassinated, Emperor Yu would be the first to suspect him.
After all, Tuoba Xiaoyao had a huge feud with him. When he leaked the news previously, he must have said that he was the mastermind behind this assassination.
"That's why Second Prince Yu Lie cannot die at this time."
Otherwise, the Great Yu Celestial Dynasty will become Tuoba Xiaoyao's protective umbrella and stand against me.
Gu Changge's gaze deepened. He quietly crushed a jade talisman under his sleeve.
The many people who had been deployed in the vast wilderness all received the news at this moment. They silently retreated, not showing any signs of abnormality.
As for Yu Tianzheng, after Gu Changge sent the message, he did not pay much attention to him.
If he was unhappy about this, Gu Changge naturally did not mind sending him on his way personally.
If Yu Tianzheng dared to obstruct him from obtaining the Heavenly Sovereign Sword, then there was no need for him to live.
On a mountain outside the vast wilderness, Yu Tianzheng, who had been hiding all this time, received the news. His expression was uncertain.
He had waited for a long time for this assassination. How could he be willing to give up just like that?
Although Gu Changge only sent him a message saying that the assassination was canceled, he also knew that it should be because of Tuoba Xiaoyao, the anomaly.
However, how could Tuoba Xiaoyao stop the people he sent to assassinate Second Prince Yu Lie?
If I give up this chance, when will the next one be?
Yu Tianzheng was conflicted. He did not dare to disobey Gu Changge's orders.
In the end, he could not help but sigh and choose to give up.
"Forget it, I'll just wait for the next chance."
He was a smart person. He knew that if Gu Changge wanted to kill him now, it would be as easy as flipping his hand.
Moreover, he was counting on Gu Changge to help him ascend the throne when the time came.
For the next few days, the vast wilderness was peaceful. Nothing major happened.
The various prodigies fought with the Yin-Terminating Life Spirits. There were some who lived and some who died. There were no accidents. Naturally, there were no assassination attempts.
This allowed the ministers outside to relax and let out a long sigh of relief. Even Emperor Yu, who had been faintly worried, felt that he was too frightened.
"Looks like I've worried too much …"
A rare smile appeared on Emperor Yu's face. He planned to return to the imperial capital after the Hunting Meet ends tomorrow.
In the imperial capital, there were no assassins who dared to act recklessly.
As for what Yu Feiya said before, he did not continue to take it to heart.
"Your Majesty seems to be worried about something?"
Gu Changge seemed to have noticed the change in Emperor Yu's expression and said with a slight smile.
"That's right. I heard that there would be assassins who would endanger Yu Lie's safety, so I couldn't help but worry."
Hearing this, Emperor Yu had nothing to hide and replied with a smile.
However, he did not say the following words. At that time, Yu Feiya even said that Gu Changge would be the mastermind behind the assassination.
How could he have the nerve to say such words in front of Gu Changge?
Wasn't this deliberately provoking hatred between the two of them?
"Oh? Who would want to assassinate the second prince at this time?" Gu Changge said with some surprise.
Emperor Yu shook his head and said, "I'm not sure either. However, it seems that the rumors were wrong, causing me to worry too much."
Gu Changge looked into the distance. His sleeves fluttered in the wind. His white clothes were purer than snow, and his entire person carried a refined feeling. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you must not relax. After all, there is only one day left in the Hunting Meet. What if those assassins choose to make their move on the last day?"
Emperor Yu deeply agreed and nodded, "Young Master Changge is right. I must not relax."
After the Hunting Meet ended, he would ask Yu Feiya why she said that Gu Changge would send assassins to assassinate Yu Lie.
In his opinion, this was something completely impossible.
From the beginning, he felt that Gu Changge had no reason to do so.
The depths of the desolate land were ruins. The palaces and pavilions were all damaged and collapsed into ruins.
The mountain range was extremely tall and extended. The divine mountains were badly damaged and covered with fist-sized vines. There were all kinds of ancient scars on them, telling of the past prosperity of this place.
Tuoba Xiaoyao had already met up with his elder sister, Tuoba Qiongling. Behind them was his younger sister, Tuoba Qingyu.
After dealing with that killing tribulation that night, he brought Tuoba Qingyu and fled, finally leaving that area.
Although he had dealt with the killing tribulation, he did not feel good. The Mixed Origin Heavenly Palm Sword Embryo had suffered a slight backlash.
That killing intent was truly too terrifying. It could be said to be capable of destroying the heavens and exterminating the earth. It could simply cause countless living beings to become floating corpses and rivers of blood to flow.
Tuoba Xiaoyao's internal organs were about to rupture. His bones were almost completely shattered.
If it was not for the Mixed Origin Heavenly Palm Sword Domain saving his life at the crucial moment, he might have already turned into ashes, following in the footsteps of his previous life.
Through this matter, he clearly understood how terrifying Gu Changge was now.
One had to know that it was merely a strand of his killing intent and not his true body.
"A true Dao Enlightened Expert is definitely not his match."
"If he made a move against me, I would not have any chance of survival. Even the current Emperor Yu would not be his match if he used his Emperor Artifact at full power."
After Tuoba Xiaoyao recovered from his injuries, he brought his younger sister, Tuoba Qingyu, to find his second sister. He was worried that she would encounter the same situation as Tuoba Qingyu.
Along the way, Tuoba Qingyu was naturally very curious about him. She wanted to know more about her third brother who suddenly changed greatly.
When she was at her most desperate and helpless, it was her third brother who was like a sword god descending and saved her from the hands of the scarred man.
This caused her impression of Tuoba Xiaoyao to greatly change.
Her previous taciturn and taciturn personality was only low-key and stable.
Moreover, her third brother was actually so powerful. Even the current second prince Yu Lie, the future successor to the throne, might not be able to defeat him.
"I know that you are very puzzled, but don't worry. I am still me. I have always been me. This has never changed."
Tuoba Xiaoyao explained to his second and fourth sister behind him.
"You have been hiding all these years?" Second sister Qiongling's gaze was very complicated. She was both gratified and bitter.
Tuoba Xiaoyao actually hid it from them for so long and only chose to reveal it now.
"I didn't tell you all this because I wanted to protect your safety." Tuoba Xiaoyao sighed. He knew what they were thinking, but this was something that could not be helped.
While speaking, he raised his head and glanced at the sky. He did not sense the aura of the Five-colored Exquisite Black Yellow Pagoda. He let out a sigh of relief.
The battle that night caused this treasure to be damaged. It could no longer see the scene in the great wilderness.
So at this time, he did not mind telling them some things.
"For our safety?" Tuoba Qingyu was very puzzled.
"I have something on me that will attract fatal calamity. Before I am strong enough to protect all of you, I cannot reveal it." Tuoba Xiaoyao sighed.
His words made Tuoba Qingyu think of the terrifying sword qi that night. It was that sword qi that saved the two of them.
She was a bit speechless. She somewhat understood Tuoba Xiaoyao's intentions.
"Then what are you doing now?" Second sister Qiongling thought of many things and her expression became serious.
Tuoba Xiaoyao nodded. His expression also became serious, "So you must be careful of Gu Changge!"
"He is extremely dangerous. He is a hundred times more terrifying than what you know on the surface."
He had to warn the two of them.
On the surface, Gu Changge was extraordinary, like an immortal, untainted by dust. It was really difficult to associate her with ruthlessness, indifference, and heartlessness.
Although the two of them could not understand why Tuoba Xiaoyao would say this, they still nodded with a serious expression.
"Sorry third brother. It is all my fault. If it was not to save me, you would not have been exposed."
Tuoba Qingyu's expression became a bit guilty.
Tuoba Xiaoyao shook his head and explained, "Actually, this is not your fault. That sword scarred man was targeting me. You're just a means for him to test me. He wants to see if I can save you. "
"Thus, I was exposed."
He saw the situation clearly.
The sword scarred man was definitely a seed nurtured by some assassin organization. His strength was terrifying and could kill young kings.
How could Tuoba Qingyu easily provoke such a person?
However, this made him even more cautious. In his previous life, he did not know that Gu Changge controlled such an assassin organization.
"He was targeting you?" Tuoba Qingyu was even more puzzled.
"You said that person only wanted to test your strength, which is why he attacked fourth sister?"
"That's really ruthless." Tuoba Qiongling immediately understood. Her face faintly carried an ugly expression and some lingering fear.
If the test was wrong, then wouldn't Tuoba Qingyu have died there that night?
How ruthless did he have to be to attack someone he had no enmity with?
And from Tuoba Xiaoyao's words, that person might very well be Gu Changge? Sweat.
