The three grand elders of the Qingxuan Sect witnessed the heart - stopping scene just now.
The Third Patriarch's eyes bulged like copper bells, and two scorching white breaths shot out from his nostrils. He sent a spiritual message to the two beside him, his voice filled with suppressed anger.
"Damn it! That old bird from the South Domain dares to bully the disciples of our Qingxuan Sect like this! Don't let me get the chance, or I'll beat the shit out of him!"
The Second Patriarch was relatively more composed, but his eyes also turned cold. This debt would be remembered!
In the distance, Gu Changge and Xuanyangzi stood as straight as pine trees, also witnessing the heart - stopping scene.
Xuanyangzi's hand in his sleeve clenched slightly. He nervously sent a spiritual message, "Changge, if something happens to Xiao Ruobai and the others..."
Gu Changge's gaze was calm. His deep eyes reflected Xiao Ruobai's figure bravely resisting the Saint's might while covered in blood. There was not a trace of worry in his eyes.
"It's okay," he said in a flat voice, without the slightest ripple in his tone.
"A jade stone won't become a useful object without carving. This kind of pressure is exactly what he needs to temper his edge."
For him, as long as the South Domain Demon Lord didn't have the intention to kill, this was the best whetstone for his disciple.
As the South Domain Demon Lord backed off, the tense atmosphere in the field finally slowly dissipated.
However, after this incident, the relationships among various forces had quietly changed, and the invisible estrangement and hostility had deepened.
The gazes of most people were once again drawn to the magnificent palace complex floating in the center of the chaotic void, emitting the vast might of an emperor.
Opportunity and danger coexisted there. That was the ultimate stage.
At this moment, Ji Qingyi, the Sovereign of the Yaochi, casually swept her gaze across the edge area where the scattered cultivators gathered.
She was born with the Taiyin Divine Body, which made her extremely sensitive to the qi of the world and the breath of life.
Just now, during the heart - stopping moment when the South Domain Demon Lord crushed Xiao Ruobai with the Saint's might, although Xuanyangzi had concealed his aura to the extreme.
But because of his concern for his disciples, there was still an extremely tiny agitation in his mind.
This slight fluctuation might seem no different from the fear of the scattered cultivators around to others, but it felt unusually solid to the spiritual perception of Ji Qingyi with the Taiyin Divine Body.
Ji Qingyi's delicate eyebrows twitched imperceptibly, like a tiny ripple on a calm lake, disappearing in an instant.
In her perception, those two people only had the cultivation fluctuations of the Celestial Realm. In the terrifying imperial might where most cultivators of the same level here needed protection to survive, they seemed rather relaxed.
Their auras were perfectly concealed and almost blended with the surrounding environment. However, this excessive harmony seemed to reveal an indescribable and unfathomable incoordination in Ji Qingyi's spiritual perception.
"These two are definitely not ordinary scattered cultivators," Ji Qingyi thought to herself. A faint trace of curiosity flashed in the depths of her cold eyes.
But she didn't show it at all. She didn't even linger on them with her gaze. It seemed like just a casual glance when patrolling the whole area.
Then she refocused all her attention on the floating palace complex, and her face remained cold and calm.
At the moment when Ji Qingyi withdrew her gaze, Gu Changge, who was at the edge of the crowd, slightly moved his fingertips.
He naturally noticed the seemingly casual glance of the Yaochi Sovereign and the fleeting curiosity in her spiritual perception.
This woman's perception was indeed surprisingly sharp.
"Should I just kill this Yaochi Sovereign to eliminate future troubles?"
This thought flashed through Gu Changge's mind subconsciously, and he casually sent a spiritual message to Xuanyangzi beside him.
Xuanyangzi, who was concentrating on maintaining the appearance of an ordinary Celestial Realm cultivator, was so startled by this sudden spiritual message that his whole body stiffened and he almost lost his cover.
He quickly turned to look at Gu Changge, his eyes full of disbelief.
"What? Kill who?" Xuanyangzi almost blurted out, and his spiritual message was even trembling.
"The Yaochi Sovereign? Ji Qingyi?! Changge, you... She just glanced at this side!
Just because she glanced at you, you want to kill her to silence her?!"
As he said this, Xuanyangzi himself was stunned.
Something was wrong! With Gu Changge's indifferent personality, he wouldn't even bother to care if someone stared at him, as long as his fundamental interests were not involved.
Why would he have the intention to kill because of such a small thing?
Unless...
A terrifying guess flashed through Xuanyangzi's mind like a bolt of lightning!
His look at Gu Changge instantly changed from disbelief to a mixture of extreme shock, sudden realization, followed by deep worry and a hint of barely noticeable panic.
Xuanyangzi subconsciously glanced at Gu Changge's perfect and always cold - looking profile. Then he thought about how Gu Changge had been alone all these years and had never shown interest in women...
"Changge! You... You..." Xuanyangzi's voice trembled, with a sense of panic as if he had discovered a shocking secret.
"Tell me honestly! Did you suddenly want to kill the Yaochi Sovereign because I tried to match - make you two before, just because she is a woman?!"
The more he talked, the more he felt that he had grasped the truth. His eyes became extremely complicated, with sympathy, worry, and a kind of "I can't believe you're such a person" collapse.
"I should have thought of it earlier! Over the years, so many female elders and female disciples have shown their affection to you, but you didn't even look at them.
I thought you had a firm Dao heart and were devoted to the Dao. It turns out that you just don't like women?!"
Xuanyangzi sent the spiritual message in great pain, as if Gu Changge had embarked on an irreversible path.
"Even if you have such a preference, you can't kill someone just because she glanced at you!
I won't try to match - make you two anymore. How innocent is Saint Ji? It's just that she's a woman!"
Gu Changge: "..."
Even with Gu Changge's state of mind, he was rendered speechless by Xuanyangzi's over - imaginative thoughts.
He glanced at Xuanyangzi expressionlessly.
"What's going on in this guy's head?"
It was obviously a waste of time to explain to someone with such a wild imagination that it was because of his leaked aura that they were noticed.
"Shut up," Gu Changge said, then withdrew his gaze. He didn't want to bother with this guy who had a wandering mind. It would be beneath his dignity to argue with a fool about such a trivial matter.
"Alas, I've read too many novels about fighting and killing in my previous life. I almost got influenced. It's not worth it for such a small thing," Gu Changge pushed aside that absurd thought of killing to silence and slowly dispersed the spiritual power that was ready to burst out from his fingertips.
Ji Qingyi, the Sovereign of the Yaochi, had no idea that this single glance had almost cost her her life.
She just noted that strange feeling down and refocused her cold gaze on the imperial palace.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry.
