Chapter 565: The Inheritor of Demonic Art is His Maid? It’s scary to think about

In the palace, Xiao Zhanxian’s face turned pale, and extremely ugly. He was so angry that his eyes were about to burst into flames. He clenched his fists tightly in rage. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and took a deep breath.

“What about this matter? Don’t we have room for rejection?” An Xi looked at the invitation letter in front of her and asked with an ugly face.

She naturally didn’t want to interfere with this so-called trip to Mount Kun. Who knew what would happen there?

What was more, the An Clan itself had no relationship with the Ji family, even if they wanted to save Ji Sheng Chu, it had nothing to do with them. So, why would she go to join in the fun?

“For the current plan, we can only take one step at a time. If we refuse, then Gu Changge will just have an excuse to attack us. Don’t let him get away with it.” Xiao Zhanxian slowly swept An Xi, Jiang Chen, Niu Tian, and others in front of him, and said in a deep voice.

His words made Jiang Chen and Niu Tian silent, they actually already had the intention to say goodbye and leave. But at this critical juncture, Gu Changge probably won’t let them leave safely.

“I’ve always been curious, why Gu Changge keeps targeting you everywhere?” An Xi was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked.

Because she remembered the shock that Xiao Zhanxian showed at the Divine Stone Conference. Although Xiao Zhanxian was perfunctory at the time, her intuition told her that this matter was not that simple.

“This matter is of great importance. You must promise me not to spread it to outsiders. Otherwise, Gu Changge will definitely spare no effort to find a way to kill us after we startle the snake. If that were to happen, then his methods will definitely be much more insane than sending a.s.sa.s.sins to a.s.sa.s.sinate us, like this time.”

Xiao Zhanxian’s expression became more solemn than ever before, and while speaking, everyone in the palace retreated, leaving only Jiang Chen and others. In his opinion, everyone present had a grudge against Gu Changge, and sooner or later they would know about it.

Seeing that Xiao Zhanxian was so cautious, An Xi and the others couldn’t help becoming serious as they listened carefully, for fear of missing a word.

“Don’t worry, we will never spread the word.” An Xi nodded and agreed.

Xiao Zhanxian took a deep breath and then began to tell the story of his being attacked by the inheritor of demonic art some time ago. It was only because the protector showed up in time, he saved his life.

But he was also severely injured because of this, and his origin was almost shattered. And in that incident, with his gifted pupil technique, he saw clearly the true face of the inheritor of demonic art.

“You mean that the inheritor of demonic art is actually… the people around Gu Changge?”

Hearing this, An Xi’s face changed drastically. She suddenly understood a lot of things. Her expression became very pale, she even felt the coldness on her back with fear in her heart.

She could feel her voice trembling uncontrollably. Jiang Chen and Niu Tian didn’t expect to hear such sensational news, they couldn’t help but gasp suddenly, their eyes widened and their scalps went numb.

“Yes, the inheritor of demonic art is actually Gu Changge’s maid! I can absolutely guarantee this! And it’s the maid who has been following Gu Changge all along.” Xiao Zhanxian took a deep breath to calm down his tone.

He knew how unbelievable this matter was and how much force it involved. Once it got out, it would definitely trigger a huge turmoil in the Upper Realm and cause unimaginable consequences.

“I figured it out, no wonder the inheritor of demonic art would run away from the Gu Changge again and again, it turned out to be for this reason.” It took a long time for An Xi to calm herself down and figure out the many rumors she had heard before.

There was still fear in her heart. If Xiao Zhanxian hadn’t said it, she would never have dared to imagine that. What exactly was Gu Changge planning? The inheritor of demonic art, who was dismayed by the Upper Realm, actually turned out to be his maid?

An Xi’s face turned pale, and she suddenly regretted being an enemy of Gu Changge. Such a person’s means and thoughts were simply hard to fathom.

“You must not leak this matter. Before there is sufficient evidence, if we let Gu Changge know… we will definitely die.” Xiao Zhanxian said in a deep voice, exhorting again.

There were some things that the less one knew the better. He regretted a little now, why he didn’t keep calm and displayed strange behavior during the Divine Stone Conference.

An Xi nodded, knowing that this matter was of great importance, if any news leaked out, it would bring great disaster to them. Before there was complete evidence, even if this kind of thing was said, it would not have much effect, and not many people would believe it.

“We know.” Jiang Chen and Niu Tian looked at each other and fell silent.

Jiang Chen thought of Xiao Ruoyin all of a sudden, his back felt cold, and his hands and feet were cold. Gu Changge was actually the master behind the inheritor of demonic art, this ident.i.ty was completely unexpected to him. How did the inheritance of demonic art come about?

This made him a little terrified and suddenly thought of the black-robed old man who bestowed him with demonic power. This was really terrible. Didn’t all the misfortunes caused by the inheritors of demonic arts all these years happen under Gu Changge’s nose, or with his acquiescence?

“Miss is not well…”

“The drop of Shadow Immortal’s True Blood you sent someone to get from Ancestor Xing was cut off by Miss An Yan halfway!”

But at this time, the servants of the An Clan outside the hall suddenly rushed over with a look of panic on their faces and reported tremblingly.

“What?” An Xi’s face changed drastically, her eyes widened, and she was shocked for the first time because of An Yan, feeling unbelievable.

“How dare An Yan? How did she do it?” An Xi almost gritted her teeth. This younger sister, whom she didn’t pay attention to since she was a child. She had actually cut off her drop of Shadow Immortal’s True Blood at this time.

This simply made her unable to believe her ears. This kind of behavior was tantamount to making her already bad situation worse and more difficult. According to the An Clan’s rules, An Yan was naturally eligible to fight for the drop of Shadow Immortal’s True Blood in the Ancestor Star.

But An Xi didn’t expect that An Yan would do such a big thing while she was not around, and cut off her things halfway! This made her feel extremely angry, and she wished she could rush back to the clan immediately and start to solve this matter.

Yet what happened in front of her really made her inseparable.

“When the matter of Kunwu City is settled, I will make that d.a.m.n girl regret it.” An Xi’s face was extremely gloomy, very ugly.

And soon, two days pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye. The entire Kunwu City was full of commotion because of the Ji family’s imminent invasion of Mount Kun.

Star Gazing Tower, located in the northernmost corner of Kunwu City, was built for gazing at stars. The whole Star Gazing Tower was extremely grand and ancient. It was made of immortal stones.

As the place where Gu Changge hosted many young dignitaries, it was extremely lively today. At the entrance of the Star Gazing Tower, many cultivators and creatures were already welcoming the guests. Even many powerhouses of the older generation came to join in the fun.

Not to mention that most of the top young generation from the entire Upper Realm gathered was here. Every young genius had a divine aura flowing on his body, walking like dragon and tiger. There was a glowing light, and their spiritual power was very strong.

They were followed by many followers.

After all, to be invited by Gu Changge, at least meant that they were also the successor of the Immortal Sect, and their status was beyond words. They would be the best candidate to take charge of the Immortal Sect in the future, and their future was limitless.

“The Heavenly Phoenix Maiden is here!”

Suddenly, there was a cry of exclamation outside the Star Gazing Tower, and a divine light descended from the sky not far away, like a divine phoenix spreading its wings, which was astonishingly gorgeous.

A tall and slender young woman walked over, with fiery red hair, giving off an air of glamorous dignity. It was the ancient freak Heavenly Phoenix Maiden. After she came here, she quickly entered the building under the leadership of the servants outside the building.

Behind the Heavenly Phoenix Maiden, the other young sovereigns, such as the Six Crown King Jun Yao, the Jin Chan Buddha, the Heavenly Demon Monarch, and others also crossed the void one after another. They had many followers who appeared extremely formal and cautious.

To be honest, not many people were willing to rush to today’s banquet. But if they didn’t attend, they wouldn’t give Gu Changge a face, and they wouldn’t be considering the safety of the Upper Realm. Wearing such a big hat had a great impact on their reputation.

“It seems that you feel the same way as me.” With a smile on his face, the Six Crown King glanced at Jin Chan Buddha, Heavenly Demon Monarch, and others beside him.

“Brother Jun Yao, why did you say that?” Heavenly Demon Monarch shook his head, seeing that almost all the young supreme beings in Kunwu City had rushed over, he felt relieved.

Looking at it this way, he felt a lot more balanced.

“Hehe, Gu Changge wants to force me to enter Mount Kun together. That place is extremely dangerous, and our life is in danger at every turn. He is powerful, comparable to an Enlightened being, but won’t I die if I just went in? He deserves to be punished!” On the other side, the very burly little Saint King arrived and said with a sneer, his words were very dissatisfied.

“You guys, let’s tell Gu Changge later.” Jin Chan Buddha clasped his hands together, shook his head lightly, and added.

From a righteous point of view, rescuing Ji Sheng Chu, the Ancestor of the Ji family, was an inescapable responsibility of many forces in the Upper Realm. As their successors, they were to blame, not to mention that Gu Changge took the lead in the process.

What he did made it difficult for everyone to back down, and they couldn’t find a reason to back down. Soon, under the leadership of the servants in front of the building, everyone also slowly entered the Star Gazing Tower.

A banquet had already been set up here, and many beautiful maids were serving food and wine to the tables as if they had been waiting for them for a long time.

Here, Heavenly Demon Monarch and the others also met many old acquaintances, all of whom were outstanding figures of the younger generation, but it was difficult to find opponents in the same realm.

Ji Yaoxing and Ji Chu Yue, the brothers and sisters of the Ji family, were also among them. As for the top seat, Gu Changge hadn’t arrived yet, which made their complexions even more gloomy.

“Everyone, don’t worry, my Young Master is on his way.” An old man dressed like a housekeeper with a wrinkled face, explained with a smile as if he could see the dissatisfaction of the Heavenly Demon Monarch and others.

The moment they saw the old man, the eyes of everyone in the Star Gazing Tower shrank slightly, their hearts were shocked, and they didn’t dare to be as casual as before.

An Enlightened being!!

This old man dressed as a butler with unfathomable cultivation, surrounded by the aura of the emperor realm, was obviously also an Enlightened being.

They were shocked. They couldn’t guess the ident.i.ty of the old man, whether it was the housekeeper or the Ancestor of the Gu family.

At this moment, there was another movement outside the Star Gazing Tower.

Xiao Zhanxian, An Xi, Jiang Chen, and others also arrived under the leadership of their servants but compared to before, Xiao Zhanxian’s face looks quite pale now as if he was seriously injured.

“Greetings, fellow Taoists!” Xiao Zhanxian forced a smile on his face and bowed his hands to the Heavenly Demon Monarch and others.

“Brother Zhanxian’s injury doesn’t seem to be healed, it seems that the a.s.sa.s.sin that day was indeed no small matter.”

Seeing Xiao Zhanxian’s appearance, everyone felt a little sympathetic. After all, not long after he was attacked by the inheritor of demonic art, he was a.s.sa.s.sinated again, and it was said that he was seriously injured.

Many people were also curious about who Xiao Zhanxian had offended. He was a.s.sa.s.sinated the day after the Divine Stone Conference and almost died. The rest of the Young Supremes had not heard of anyone encountering such a thing.

Xiao Zhanxian smiled wryly when he heard the words, “Thank you for your concern, brothers, this injury is not a serious injury, it will be fine after a period of cultivation.”

While speaking, his heart was a little gloomy, and he looked forward, but he didn’t see Gu Changge’s figure.

“Oh, are you all here?” And just when many young supreme beings were talking softly, above the top place, a warm voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone heard the words and looked around, only to see Gu Changge dressed in black clothes with a tall and straight figure and shiny black hair. His handsome features, and a smiling face had appeared at the top at some point.

Hearing this voice, An Xi felt uncontrollable fear and uneasiness in her heart, but she still forced herself to remain calm. Behind Gu Changge, Yin Mei, Su Qingge, and others stood quietly with their hands folded and their eyes lowered, as beautiful as if they were carved from jade.

Jiang Chen and Niu Tian looked at Su Qingge calmly and cautiously. If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn’t have believed it. The ruthless inheritor of demonic art who caused chaos in the Upper Realm turned out to be such a beautiful woman who was as beautiful as a flower and beautiful as a jade.

“Greetings, Young Master Changge!” The Heavenly Demon Monarch, the Six Crown Kings, Jin Chan Buddha, and others were all terrified in their hearts, and they didn’t realize when Gu Changge came here.

“I heard that brother Zhanxian was seriously injured by an a.s.sa.s.sin the day before yesterday, so I sent people to send a lot of healing medicines, which didn’t seem to have much effect.” Gu Changge smiled slightly, signaling to everyone that they don’t need to be polite, but looked at Xiao Zhanxian with interest and asked.

He seemed to be extremely concerned about his injury. Xiao Zhanxian didn’t expect Gu Changge to say that to him in public, his heart was even more gloomy, and he clenched his fists.

But he still showed a wry smile on his face, and explained, “Thank you, Young Master Changge, for your concern. The divine medicine you sent for healing did not help my injury much, but this injury is not serious. It’ll be fine after a while.”

This was the rhetoric he had thought up a long time ago, just to prepare for his refusal to enter Mount Kun for a while. He was not stupid, he knew that once he left Kunwu City and entered Mount Kun, he would definitely die.

In that kind of place, if Gu Changge wanted to kill him, it would be easier than crushing an ant to death.
