Chapter 476-1: The Nine Great Mountains are destroyed, A ma.s.sive attack (1)
Second Mountain Master was not in a good condition now, his aura was even sluggish. There was a terrifying wound that almost tore him apart. The destructive power within it was even constantly destroying his vitality.
As an Enlightened being, his vitality was so surging that it was difficult to describe it in words. Even just one drop of blood could reshape the body and create another life. But now it had fallen to the point where it was difficult to recover from the injury.
He had been witnessing the changes in Gu Changge within the past half month. From the shock at the beginning to the current state, it could be said that his mood had undergone an earth-shaking change.
“It turns out that this is why you have such terrifying strength at your current age…”
The Second Mountain Master looked at Gu Changge walking toward him, his expression couldn’t hide his fear, but he still spoke. He didn’t know why Gu Changge killed everyone but spared his life.
Now that the Nine Great Mountains had encountered a catastrophe, almost all the disciples had died, and even the Mountain Masters also died. How could the rest of the disciples survive?
He even antic.i.p.ated the destruction of the Nine Great Mountains, and the scene where all the buildings on the mountain islands were turned into ruins and ashes. This made him angry and at the same time he felt regret and deep powerlessness.
If he had noticed Gu Changge’s ambition earlier, then things should have turned around. With the Nine Mountain Immortal Seal in hand, the Nine Great Mountains could be turned into an indestructible fortress.
If Gu Changge wanted to break in, it would not be so simple. Thinking of this, Second Mountain Master didn’t have the slightest look at Heavenly Maiden Tianlu who was following behind Gu Changge.
What he couldn’t figure out the most was how the h.e.l.l did Heavenly Maiden Tianlu, who was in charge of guarding Heavenly Lu City, get so close to Gu Changge now?
She even teamed up with Gu Changge to deal with Nine Great Mountains. If not, how could they fall for it?
“Heavenly Maiden Tianlu, you actually teamed up with people from the Upper Realm to attack my Nine Great Mountains. Are you worthy of your status? Are you worthy of Heavenly Lu City and the hundreds of millions of cultivators living in the Eight Desolations and Ten Regions?”
The Second Mountain Master’s face was cold and angry, and his voice was full of anger. Yet Heavenly Maiden Tianlu didn’t care about him, and it seemed that she didn’t hear what he said. She smiled slightly at Gu Changge beside her, “Now Mr. Gu can trust me, right?”
“For Heavenly Lu City, you are really cruel.” Gu Changge just smiled when he heard this, and didn’t answer her question.
“After all, Heavenly Lu City was entrusted to me by my Master before his death. No matter what price I have to pay, I will protect it.”
There was a slight smile on the corner of Heavenly Maiden Tianlu’s mouth. Her eyes were fixed on Gu Changge as if she wanted to see the change of expression on his face. However, Gu Changge’s face still didn’t change much, and she couldn’t tell anything from it.
This made her feel a little disappointed. He was still as elusive as ever, and it was impossible to guess what was going on in his mind. Cooperating with Gu Changge was tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger, but she really had no other choice.
Even the Nine Great Mountains with many Enlightened beings were slaughtered by Gu Changge alone. How could Heavenly Lu City stop him?
“You have fallen into a Demonic barrier. If you want to protect Heavenly Lu City, you should have united with us and resisted the invasion of the Upper Realm in one fell swoop, instead of surrendering to them! You haven’t woken up yet!”
The Second Mountain Master guessed the whole story almost instantly, and couldn’t help shouting angrily. This made him angrier and he even hated her a little bit. Heavenly Maiden Tianlu’s actions were obviously as if she was possessed by a Demon.
How could they resist even after uniting together to protect Heavenly Lu City? The Upper Realm had already attacked the Eight Desolations and Ten Regions. How greedy was the Upper Realm, how could it let Heavenly Lu City go unscathed?
“What do you know?” Hearing this, Heavenly Maiden Tianlu frowned, and a coldness flashed in her eyes.
“Your Nine Great Mountains was supposed to stop the army of the Upper Realm, but you have been hiding in the Cloudy Tomb all these years, not daring to show up in the world. This time when the Upper Realm invaded, you even tried to seal off the mountain, regardless of the life and death of the Eight Desolations and Ten Regions, including Heavenly Lu City. How can you say that about me?”
If she had other ways, how could this happen? This was the glimmer of hope that could be glimpsed under despair. Hearing this, the Second Mountain Master’s face turned a little suffocated.
He did have plans to abandon the Eight Desolations and Ten Regions, abandon the Heavenly Lu City and seal the mountains, in order to be safe and to keep the Nine Great Mountains safe.
But before it was realized, Gu Changge sent an army to attack them. And this was not the reason why Heavenly Maiden Tianlu betrayed the Eight Desolations Regions and Heavenly Lu City.
“It seems that even now, you still haven’t figured it out. The Nine Great Mountains have been reduced to ruins and removed from this world… And Heavenly Maiden Tianlu is much smarter than you.”
Seeing the Second Mountain Master’s expression, Gu Changge couldn’t help shaking his head, with a look of regret for him.
“As long as the disciples of my Nine Great Mountains are still there, then my Nine Great Mountain’s inheritance will still be there. It is absolutely impossible for you to destroy the Nine Great Mountains.”
The Second Mountain Master’s complexion turned pale when he heard the words. Though, thinking of Xiao Yang and Gu Wudi whom he sent away at the last moment, he was more or less relieved.
They were the last hope and kindling of the Nine Great Mountains. As long as they could find the Great Mountain Master, then the Nine Great Mountains could reappear in the world. Even if he died now, it was worthy of many ancestors of the Nine Mountains.
“Oh, really? Are you still counting on your good-for-nothing disciple, Xiao Yang? By now, haven’t you figured out why I killed everyone and left you alive?”
Hearing this, Gu Changge smiled, not hiding his mockery. He knew what the Second Mountain Master was thinking, but did he really think nothing would happen if Xiao Yang was sent away in advance?
It was a pity that Gu Changge had already antic.i.p.ated the things he could think of, and calculated him here.
“What do you mean?” Hearing this, the Second Mountain Master’s face froze suddenly and he felt that something was wrong. That familiar bad feeling struck again.
“As a remnant of the Guardian Clan, why do you think I let him go?” Gu Changge smiled faintly, but the depths of his eyes were still indifferent, without waves.
“What? Could it be… Are you doing this on purpose?”
At this moment, Second Mountain Master couldn’t believe his ears, he was shocked, and his complexion changed even more. Gu Changge actually knew Xiao Yang’s ident.i.ty?
How did he find out about it? No one in the entire Nine Great Mountains knew about this matter except him.
“Gu Wudi was also arranged by you?” Finally, he thought of such a possibility. With a dejected expression on his face he felt extremely regretful.
Why did he agree to Gu Wudi’s request and send him away with Xiao Yang? It turned out that Gu Changge had planned all this long ago.
“The Guardian bloodline?” Hearing this, Heavenly Maiden Tianlu’s heart trembled slightly, and she couldn’t help but look at Gu Changge.
If it wasn’t for what Gu Changge said, she still wouldn’t know that Xiao Yang would be the remnant of the Guardian Clan. As the patron saint of Heavenly Lu City, she was naturally aware of the tragedy that happened to the Guardian Clan more than 20 years ago.
It was said that the whole family was brutally wiped out, hundreds of people died tragically, and only a few escaped alive. The lineage of Guardian Clan was already spa.r.s.ely populated, and it was almost wiped out after this disaster.
Over the past twenty years, the lineage of the Guardian Clan had almost disappeared in the Eight Desolations and Ten Regions, and no one of them could be found. Was Xiao Yang a remnant of that lineage? How did Gu Changge know about it?
“Could it be because of the Purple Mirror in his hand at that time…”
Heavenly Maiden Tianlu remembered the Purple Mirror that Gu Changge had used at that time. It seemed that he used that secret treasure to deduce this matter. This was really shocking and disturbing. With such a secret treasure, who knew what else could be deduced and spied on?
“Could it be that the tragedy of the Guardian Clan more than 20 years ago was also related to you?”
Second Mountain Master suddenly stared at Gu Changge firmly, blood appeared in his eyes, and he even looked a little ferocious.
