Chapter 593: It will be the right time to test Tuoba Xiaoyao
Yu Tianzheng’s guarantee did not make Gu Changge completely at ease. He had a hunch in his heart that the sudden appearance of Tuoba Xiaoyao, the Son of Luck, might not be accidental.
The a.s.sa.s.sination at the hunting conference this time should not have gone so smoothly.
“How many people have you arranged for this hunting conference?” Gu Changge pondered for a moment, then asked.
Yu Tianzheng thought that Gu Changge was still worried, so he couldn’t help smiling, and explained, “Master Changge, please rest a.s.sured, I have been planning for this day for nearly a hundred years, and this hunting conference is absolutely foolproof.”
“Not only are my people among the forces partic.i.p.ating in this hunting conference, but also among the people who are responsible for protecting the second prince are also mixed in with my people.”
“In addition, I especially sent people to wait there outside the hunting conference venue. They are all loyal soldiers to me. At that time, I only need to give an order, and they will rush to the second prince and die with him.”
When Yu Tianzheng said these words, he carried a lot of confidence. He had deduced it many times, and in order to be safe, he even laid down many countermeasures.
“Arrange twice as many people as you have a.s.signed, and in addition, I will order other people to help you in secret.” Gu Changge nodded and said, the existence of Tuoba Xiaoyao was an anomaly in his opinion.
Yu Tianzheng’s calculated a.s.sa.s.sination plan might cause some accidents because of Tuoba Xiaoyao.
Gu Changge planned to send the a.s.sa.s.sins of Spring Breeze Pavillion to hide in the dark, take advantage of the opportunity, and not allow the slightest surprise.
“I’ll listen to what the Young Master Changge says.” Yu Tianzheng’s expression was slightly solemn, and there was a flash of light in his eyes.
He didn’t dare to disobey Gu Changge’s intentions, not to mention sending more manpower. Although there was a risk of exposure, it also increased the chance of a successful a.s.sa.s.sination, there were gains and losses.
Yu Tianzheng’s figure dissipated into the void as he bid farewell, and left. He was worried that staying here would cause unnecessary trouble. The imperial palace was full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons, and there were many powerhouses, so it was not a suitable place to stay for long.
Gu Changge ordered the people of Wan Dao Business Alliance to contact Yin Mei, asked her to find Bai Lian’er, and arranged for the a.s.sa.s.sin for the second prince Yu Lie at the hunting conference.
Although the Spring Breeze Jade Building was a newly emerging killer force, it had been faintly suppressing other a.s.sa.s.sin forces over the years. Bai Lian’er had the inheritance of the Emperor Killer of ancient times and was very good at training a.s.sa.s.sins.
In addition, due to Gu Changge’s support during this period of time, the development speed of the Spring Breeze Jade Building increased rapidly like a bamboo joint. He ordered Bai Lian’er to do a lot of shameful things. Therefore, Gu Changge was very relieved about the a.s.sa.s.sination of the second prince.
“As for the matter of Tuoba Xiaoyao, I can try it with his younger sister first, I don’t believe he can continue to sink.”
As for testing whether Tuoba Xiaoyao was related to the Master of Heavenly Sword, Gu Changge had already made arrangements. And soon came the day of the hunting conference. Outside of the Great Yu Imperial Capital, many flying boats, flying artifacts, and mounts were suspended in the air. The shadows above were full of people, and at a glance, there were all human heads.
Gu Changge, Emperor Yu, and others stood on a very luxurious and ancient warship, looking at the scene below. Behind them stood many younger generations, including the princes and princesses of the Great Yu Royal family, as well as their followers, all talking in low voices.
In the distance, there were various aristocratic families and clans in the Great Yu territory, and there were also people’s shadows on them.
Those who took the lead were the elders of the forces behind them, and their strength had at least reached the Quasi-Supreme Realm.
In the other direction, those Immortal sects who were good friends with the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty sent some powerful people to watch the ceremony.
The location of the hunting conference was naturally not in the imperial capital, but in an area where the catastrophe of the Absolute Heavenly Extinction had broken out.
There used to be the ruins of a certain sect, but later they offended a powerful enemy, it was wiped out overnight, leaving only a small number of people to escape. Now, just as the catastrophe of the Absolute Heavenly Extinction broke out nearby, the location of the hunting conference was chosen at the ruins.
“Start!!”
Soon, the minister who presided over the hunting meeting let out a low shout. The surrounding void became blurred with brilliance soaring into the sky, and the breath of s.p.a.ce pervading. There, large areas of origin stones piled up into hills, so thick that they were about to liquefy.
This was from the use of a large teleportation array. It was used to teleport all the forces partic.i.p.ating in the hunting conference. The origin stones alone were procured on a sky-high price, and other than the Immortal forces, the rest of the forces simply could not afford it.
Rumble!!
In the next moment, an ancient formation appeared in the sky, as if a pa.s.sage through the universe had been torn open. All the airships and warships were converging toward it, crushing and pa.s.sing the sky, with an incomparably huge momentum.
In the Great Yu Imperial Capital, many cultivators witnessed this scene with their own eyes, seeing those forces disappearing quickly,
Pa.s.sing through the endless mountains, crossing many mountain peaks, great swamps, and rivers, everyone’s eyes suddenly opened up again as they appeared at the border of a great wilderness.
This place was very desolate, and there was no human habitation for hundreds of thousands of miles. But if one looked down from a high alt.i.tude, they could see that the surrounding mountains were distributed with strange traces, just like a true dragon about to take off.
“It’s such a place where nine dragons fly into the sky, but it’s a pity that it has been desolate for a long time. Otherwise it might have become the mountain gate of a Supreme sect by now.” Gu Changge spoke with a little admiration.
“It is indeed a pity for such a treasure land. This was a Great sect, and it flourished for a long time. If it did not offend powerful enemies, it may indeed continue to this day. Now the Nine Dragons here have also been beheaded, and it is difficult to vacate.” Emperor Yu sighed.
Gu Changge smiled noncommittally. A force that threatened their status suddenly appeared in the territory of Great Yu, and the first reaction might have been to destroy it first. So what offended a powerful enemy and was wiped out overnight was nothing more than a rumor from the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty.
As for the truth, only the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty knew. Of course, Gu Changge was not interested either.
“Ahead is the location of this hunting conference. Some time ago, the place was shrouded in a strong aura of Absolute Heavenly Extinction. The Emperor suspects that there were creatures of Absolute Heavenly Extinction appearing here, so he specially sent people to investigate, but they all died here tragically.” Emperor Yu pointed to the frontier of the wilderness and explained.
Gu Changge nodded and looked over before asking with a smile, “Then, is this hunting conference just about hunting the Absolute Heavenly creatures?”
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yu glanced at him and said, “That’s right, but the beasts here can also be the target of hunting, and of course, the disciples of various forces are also the same.”
As he spoke, doubts flashed across his mind. Judging from many aspects of Gu Changge’s words and deeds, they did not seem to be malicious towards him and the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty.
Then why did Yu Feiya remind him to be vigilant against Gu Changge many times, and even asked him to send more people to protect the second prince Yu Lie today?
This was exactly what Emperor Yu couldn’t figure out. But compared to Gu Changge, he would definitely rather trust his daughter. So this time he did send more people to protect the second prince Yu Lie, who was also the future successor of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty.
Yu Lie could not tolerate any accidents.
“So it looks like there’s going to be a war of chaos here in a while.” Gu Changge smiled faintly and stood on the ancient warship looking down at the scene below.
Besides them, there were also many ancient warships and flying boats. There were people standing on them, discussing the hunting conference for a while. Many young geniuses were gearing up and secretly looking forward to it.
The second prince, Yu Lie, was a man with an extremely handsome face, dressed in a blue robe with one hundred and eight divine rings faintly condensing behind him like a young G.o.d.
He was born with a kind of n.o.bility, which made it difficult to ignore his existence. He was standing with Yu Feiya and the others and seemed to be whispering something. From time to time, he looked in the direction of Emperor Yu, Gu Changge, and others in front of him, his eyes flickering with strange expressions.
The princes and princesses would naturally partic.i.p.ate in this hunting conference. For the majesty of the Royal family, it was even necessary to be among the best, and there was no shame.
“Young lady, don’t worry, I will pay attention to safety.” Yu Lie also didn’t know why his imperial sister would remind him to be careful over and over again.
However, as the future emperor of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty, he was naturally very confident in his own strength, so although he promised well, he didn’t care about it in his heart.
Yu Feiya also knew that Yu Lie definitely didn’t take her reminder to heart. She sighed slightly, then glanced at Gu Changge indiscriminately.
Seeing that he and his father were having a happy conversation, it was hard to believe that he would arrange for someone to a.s.sa.s.sinate the second prince in order to plot against the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty.
Afterward, the powerhouse of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty appeared and sacrificed a colorful and exquisite tower. There was a mysterious golden energy flowing on it, which was extremely ancient.
This was a treasure. While covering this place, it could reflect what happened in various places.
At the same time, Emperor Yu also stood up, and with a wave of his sleeves, the world suddenly turned dark. A vague shadow of the Emperor emerged and imprinted on the sky and the earth like a Heavenly Emperor patrolling the sky, exuding terrifying pressure and shocking people’s hearts.
Seeing this, Gu Changge narrowed his eyes a little, feeling that Emperor Yu might have noticed something. Otherwise, he would not have manifested his avatar to ensure the safety of this place.
Although Emperor Yu next to him was just a spirit body and not the true body, his aura was also deep and distant, extremely terrifying. As long as he was within the territory of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty, Emperor Yu was almost invincible innately.
This had nothing to do with the cultivation realm. The reason was that the people’s luck or the dragon’s spirit could become his means, and it was almost never to the point of exhaustion.
Unless the opponent was like him and cultivated the same heavenly skills and divine powers. Thinking of this, Gu Changge glanced in the direction of the Tuoba family.
Seeing that Tuoba Xiaoyao was lowering his head, he still looked honest and dull, as if everything around him had no effect on him. After the minister in charge of the hunting conference said the rules, the arrogant figures of various forces also turned into divine lights and went to the wilderness ahead.
The miasma was soaring into the sky, it was incomparably blurred and there were occasional roars of ferocious beasts trying to shatter the sky, causing people to twitch with anger and blood.
In this hunting conference, even fellow apprentices might become rivals. Therefore, when many geniuses fell into the wilderness, they dispersed and headed toward various regions.
Except for the successors of those great forces, almost no one was willing to join hands with others.
Yu Lie, Yu Feiya, Yu Ming, and many other Royal disciples also turned into divine lights and went to the depths of the wilderness, before disappearing without a trace.
High above the sky, the Elders of the sects of various forces were all engrossed in staring at the five-colored black and yellow exquisite paG.o.da, trying to find their disciples in it.
“For this hunting conference, I wonder if Young Master Changge has a promising candidate.”
On the ancient warship, Emperor Yu stood with his hands behind his back, with a faint smile on his face, and asked Gu Changge.
“Princess Feiya’s strength is unfathomable. From my point of view, she must be among the top three.” Gu Changge replied with a smile, with a clear and elegant demeanor.
Emperor Yu laughed and said, “I didn’t expect Young Master Changge to be so optimistic about Feiya. This is her honor.”
Many ministers standing behind him were also looking for their own heirs in the scene manifested by the five-colored black and golden exquisite paG.o.da, and they were very concerned.
Gu Changge withdrew his gaze from looking ahead and calmly looked into the distance.
The site chosen for this hunting conference was surrounded by heavily guarded soldiers, not to mention impenetrable, but if there was an enemy attack, they could be found immediately.
Yu Tianzheng wanted to a.s.sa.s.sinate the Second Prince Yu Lie at this time, but it was almost impossible to succeed.
“Looks like we just have to wait for the right moment.” Gu Changge thought to himself, but he was not in a hurry. He sat there drinking tea very leisurely, whispering a few words to Jiang Chuchu who was beside him from time to time, which made her earlobe red.
Time pa.s.sed quickly, and all the geniuses who fought against fierce beasts and Absolute Heavenly Creatures in the wilderness were also killing and being killed to the point of frenzy.
At any time, one after another, terrifying lights could be seen, piercing through the sky, roaring in all directions like wolf smoke. The elders of many powerful sects also followed the drastic changes in their emotions and were extremely worried.
Although this was the tradition of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty, in fact, every time the geniuses partic.i.p.ated in the hunting conference, less than 50% of them came back alive in the end. Its cruelty was also evident.
“The people I arranged should be about to make a move.”
Gu Changge raised his eyes to look at the sky, the twilight was fading in the distance, the sky became dark, and a faint moonlight appeared under the horizon, looking very blurry.
He looked into the Tower with great interest and found Tuoba Xiaoyao in the manifested scene.
The third son of the General’s Mansion had a low reputation in the imperial capital and was extremely low-key, so there were very few people who paid attention to him. Even his father, General Tuoba Yuntian, didn’t take too much notice. Instead, he was searching for traces of his second and youngest daughters.
In Gu Changge’s eyes, Tuoba Xiaoyao’s performance could only be regarded as quite satisfactory. During this period, he encountered several more dangerous crises, but he narrowly avoided them all.
The opponents he encountered were not considered strong, they could only be regarded as disciples of those small schools and sects around the territory of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty.
From these perspectives, it was indeed difficult to see anything.
“Isn’t this the Fourth Miss of General Zhen’s Mansion? Why did she get lost with your brothers and sisters?” But at this moment, in the depths of the wilderness, in a basin full of ravines.
A young girl who was cross-legged under a dead tree and breath-adjusting suddenly opened her eyes when she heard these words. There was an astonishing chill in her eyes, and she stared closely at the several people who appeared in front of her.
