Chapter 110: Gu Xian’er, did you get arrogant, or do you think I am not much anymore?
Just as he arrived at Supreme Peak, Gu Changge was going to chase him out?
He even said it was inconvenient?
Hearing these words, the Great Elder’s forehead bulged with bluish veins.
The sky above the Supreme Peak began to dim as if a thousand rain clouds were prepared to descend, followed by immense and terrifying pressure.
All the disciples recoiled in shock, their faces paled and their legs trembled, it felt as if they were facing a True Immortal!
Even Yue Mingkong and Gu Xian’er paled, shocked by this kind of power.
After all, the Great Elder became famous countless years ago, so his cultivation was unfathomable.
Changes in mood alone could trigger devastating shifts among the stars. Countless constellations trembling and rustling as if they were about to fall.
How could normal people dare anger the Great Elder? That would simply be suicide.
However, Gu Changge did not care at all, almost like he didn’t feel the crushing pressure around him.
A calm expression and he was even smiling as he said, “Is the Great Elder planning to intimidate me? Or are you plotting to threaten me with Mingkong and Xian’er?”
“If that is so, then I fear that you have miscalculated.”
“Gu Changge, you. . .”
The Great Elder was practically being driven insane by Gu Changge and wanted nothing else but to bring forth a palm and slap him to death. Unfortunately, given the time, he could only angrily suppress his boiling hatred.
It was the first time he ever wanted to slap someone to death so badly!
“Master.”
Gu Xian’er hurriedly pleaded to her master, afraid that he would be driven mad by Gu Changge. Even she herself could not handle that b*****d’s infuriating ways.
Gu Changge simply had a belly full of rotten waste, to be able to piss off even the Great Elder to this extent just by using a few words while still looking calm and indifferent.
This made Gu Xian’er eyes grow cold, a sharp glint flashed through them, like a knife wanting to slash through Gu Changge, resolving both old and new hatred at once.
“Gu Changge, you better shut up. . .” Her small face was icy cold and full of killing intent as she gripped the jade sword tighter in hand.
Hazy brilliance appeared on the blade, shining with runes, and terrifying sword energy began flowing throughout.
Yue Mingkong originally wanted to persuade Gu Changge but stopped since he would definitely not listen to her anyway.
At that time, if the Great Elder truly grew angry, even if one does not die they would still lose a layer of skin at the very least!
However, the Great Elder should not dare to kill Gu Changge, as the Gu Family’s name wasn’t something so worthless, as not many in the world dared to offend them.
Even if the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace is special, they still would not dare to do so lightly.
“So it’s a breakthrough? Seeing you yell at me with such confidence, does this mean you are ready to take revenge on your brother?”
Even after seeing the Great Elder’s look, Gu Changge still acted aloof and let out a sneering laugh while speaking blandly to Gu Xian’er.
“Gu Changge. . .”
She frowned at once, not able to bear his contemptuous attitude.
Gu Xian’er had already broken through to the Conferred Lord Realm, but Gu Changge did not feel pressured at all. Moreover, he didn’t even seem to care about her arrival.
His previous actions. . . didn’t he feel guilty and wanted to make up for past mistakes?
Why did his face change so quickly after such a short amount of time?
Gu Xian’er and her cool, prideful personality did not allow her to simply ask him about his motives.
And so she could only stare at him coldly.
At the same time, the Great Elder was forcing himself to calm down.
He understood that getting mad at Gu Changge, a junior, was not worth it, so he said, “Xian’er has now broken through the Conferred Lord Realm, and with her strength, it is not impossible to defeat you. This old man had promised before to teach her to defeat you otherwise, this old man would elect you as the Successor. Do you remember this?”
“Those words, of course, I remember them. It’s just that depending on this lass’s current ability, does the Great Elder truly think she stands a chance against me?”
“Breaking through to a new realm and immediately challenging me? Do you think I will go easy on her, Great Elder?”
Gu Changge let out a shallow laugh, and anybody would be able to feel his contemptuous and belittling tone.
The Great Elder’s face fell.
Gu Xian’er also looked cold, wishing only to punch Gu Changge’s proud face at the moment.
“In addition, doesn’t the Great Elder give too much importance to the successor position? You speak as if I can’t do without it. Hell, even if you do give it to me on a silver platter now, I might not necessarily accept.”
Gu Changge’s expression remained unchanging as he continued his speech.
To the three watching, it looked as if the position of the successor had no sway over him, and was barely worth more than grains of rice or salt in his eyes.
“What? You despicable junior, like a lion opening its mouth, you now wish to up the price?”
Hearing his words, the Great Elder stared deeply at Gu Changge with eyes like a vast sea of endless stars, twinkling gloomily.
“Don’t phrase it like that.”
Gu Changge shook his head, his calm unshaken, “It is something we are both willing to gamble on, so how can you say that I am trying to up the price?”
Shameless! The Great Elder almost lost it and laughed in the face of such an attitude.
“Good, good. How nice, ‘willing to gamble’. You’ve really opened my eyes this time, Gu Changge.”
“You’re praising me too much.” Gu Changge smiled lightly, like a gentle breeze.
“Say it. What are your conditions?”
The Great Elder stared at him and asked directly, not even mentioning the matter of why Gu Xian’er wanted to fight Gu Changge in the first place.
He originally thought that Gu Changge would justly initiate the matter of suppressing his cultivation until it matched Gu Xian’er’s own for a fair fight. However, looking at his prior shamelessness, this fellow obviously possessed no such intentions at all.
This made the Great Elder helpless. Was it possible for Gu Changge to take initiative and suppress even his own cultivation base?
More so, judging from Gu Changge’s cunning and insidious personality, it would be a wonder if he’d agree to do so in the first place.
The Great Elder grew depressed for a while, completely taken aback by Gu Changge. He really had no other choice but to agree and nod at Gu Changge’s request.
Being led around by the nose in this way from beginning to end. . . especially by a junior. It was truly a once in a lifetime unlucky encounter.
Gu Changge finally nodded in a satisfied manner.
“My request is very simple. The internally determined identity of the future Palace Master, plus one favour from the Great Elder. This favour can be anything within the Great Elder’s power and cannot be refused. However, the Great Elder can rest assured that I won’t ask for anything that will trouble you.”
Seeing that Gu Changge spoke without even considering his choices, the Great Elder’s expression sank a little bit.
It was obvious that Gu Changge had long since come up with exactly what he wanted, and had anticipated this moment ahead of time.
The Great Elder couldn’t help but feel palpitations as a chill crawled up his spine.
This young man is truly scary. Not in terms of cultivation, but in terms of plotting everything to be within his calculations, all trapped inside the palm of his hand.
“This old man agrees to your request.”
The Great Elder did not think too long about it. Since Gu Changge had been planning this for quite a while, it wasn’t possible that the lad would step back easily.
And he had no other choice in this matter anyways.
The most important thing is that among the conditions requested, there was nothing the Great Elder found too difficult to handle, whether that be the identity of the future Palace Master or the one favour he would owe.
So what if Gu Changge is the Lord of the Upper Palace? What waves can he possibly make?
The Palace Master is like flowing water and the Great Elder like hardened steel. This phrase is circulated widely within every force inside the Upper Realms, and not without reason.
“The Great Elder’s words are very refreshing to hear, but I ask you to swear by your Dao Heart about this crucial matter.”
Gu Changge’s previously smiling face flipped so quickly that neither Yue Mingkong nor Gu Xian’er knew what to say.
“This old man will naturally go by his promise. You dare to suspect I would go back on my word?” The Great Elder’s forehead burst with bluish veins once more, Gu Changge’s capability in pushing the wrong buttons was truly unparalleled beneath the Heavens.
Who would ever doubt his character among the many Daoist forces?
However, Gu Changge repeated this again and again, making the Elder practically leap with rage.
“Eh? If I don’t doubt the Great Elder, why would I ask you to swear by your Dao Heart?”
“You. . . !”
“Gu Changge, you really know how to make this old man angry!”
The Great Elder couldn’t help but go still for a moment after reacting to what Gu Changge said. His beard was askew with anger, and he almost slapped forwards with all his might!
“Gu Changge. . .”
Seeing the Great Elder look like he was about to go on rampage immediately, Gu Xian’er could not help but shout coldly at the culprit, her tiny face covered with frosty killing intent.
“Fine! This old man swears by his Dao Heart. If I were to violate what I have said today, I will be blasted to death by the thunder of the chaotic sky, my soul scattered and my true spirit annihilated, never to reincarnate again!”
Then, the Great Elder turned his head and directly left, his sleeve waving as he disappeared instantly from where he originally stood.
He was afraid he’d slap Gu Changge directly to his death if he stayed any longer.
If he were someone with a grumpy temper, that boy was sure to have met his end as a pile of ashes!
There is no other possibility.
Gu Changge dared to act so fearlessly only because the Great Elder could not take action against him.
After watching Great Elder leave, Gu Changge’s smile also disappeared, and he started watching Yue Mingkong and Gu Xian’er with avid interest.
Yue Mingkong’s familiarity with him meant that she knew instantly that something was afoot.
She promised before to protect Gu Xian’er, so her body subconsciously stopped in front of Gu Xian’er without even thinking.
“Oh? Mingkong, what is the meaning of this? You’re standing in front of Xian’er? You wish to protect her, it seems? As a sister-in-law, you sure are doing well.”
Gu Changge looked at her with deep eyes, making Yue Mingkong’s back feel chilly.
She once again thought of that heartless and cruel expression from the Gu Changge in her past life.
To those who dared to block his path, only despair and destruction await.
Just when Yue Mingkong became a bit dazed, Gu Xian’er walked by from behind her, “Big Sis Mingkong, don’t worry about me.”
With an icy face and a cold complexion, she stared at her cousin and stated, “Gu Changge. Today, let us settle all our past and present grievances at once.”
Being repeatedly looked down on by Gu Changge even after breaking through to the Conferred Lord Realm, to the Gu Xian’er who possessed strong self-esteem, was absolutely unbearable.
When Gu Changge was her age, he was just a lowly Saint Realm cultivator. What right did he have to look down on her?
And most importantly, Gu Changge’s attitude towards her currently compared to the past made Gu Xian’er very unaccustomed and uncomfortable. How different he had become!
Obviously, he felt guilty before and was ready to make amends, but now he was only indifferent.
This made Gu Xian’er, who agonized over and over again about what his prior actions truly meant and whether or not he had any pitiable reason or secret, simply unable to stand it.
As if she was too pure and thought too much into it. . .
Gu Changge’s attitude completely made her into a toy for his own amusement, fit to be bullied whenever he feels like it, and tossed aside indifferently when he forgets.
“End our past grievances?” Gu Changge couldn’t resist laughing, his expression slowly turning frosty. “Gu Xian’er, do you really think you have a chance against me?”
“Gu Changge. . .” Yue Mingkong frowned, not knowing how to persuade him.
Gu Changge is certainly unable to kill Gu Xian’er at this point in time, but to make her suffer was impossibly easy for him.
Sadly, Gu Xian’er wouldn’t listen to her words now.
Hum!
From the void rose a sword light shining brightly, as if a vast galaxy in which laws constantly revolved, falling from the sky. One by one, they hung above, gorgeous to the extreme.
Gu Xian’er made her move, an extremely powerful show of swordsmanship.
The displayed power far surpassed the extent that normal Conferred Lord Realm cultivators could possibly achieve.
She is confident, and not without reason. Even while she is in the Conferred Lord Realm, she could fully contend with Young Supremes in the Conferred King Realm!
Shing!
A crisp tone erupted from the void, like a sudden fire emerging!
But the next moment, Gu Xian’er’s pupils shrank in disbelief.
An entire sky full of sword Qi was fully covered by Gu Changge’s raised hand, surging with divine might. Like a big grinding disc, his energy fluctuated vastly and blocked them instantaneously.
At the same time, Gu Changge’s expression remained indifferent while his movement stayed simple. Five fingers stretched out flatly, slowly but clearly. With a snap, he directly clamped down on the sword Gu Xian’er had shot out to kill him.
This single point that felt like being suppressed by a hundred thousand rocks, containing terrifying power, directly caused a fine crack to appear on her jade sword. She couldn’t break free at all.
“How can it be. . . ?” Gu Xian’er gasped in shock. Although her figure might seem slender, her physical prowess is comparable to some infant Primordial Beasts, far surpassing her peers.
Yet, no matter how hard she tried, freeing the weapon from Gu Changge’s hand was suddenly an impossible task.
Buzz!
At that moment, Dao Intent began gushing out of her body, like the resurrection of a celestial deity. The Dao echoed and immortal light coalesced an extremely dazzling sight.
Gu Xian’er yelled, “Go!”.
Gu Changge’s calmness did not subside.
Crack!
The crystal-clear jade sword finally yielded to this incoming wave of fluctuations, and began to shatter, tittering on the verge of collapse!
“What an idiotic little sister. . .”
Gu Changge shook his head, expression unchanged. From fingers to an open palm, it felt like a universe was gathering, with might capable of covering the Ten Thousand Realms and the Heavens above them!
Boom!
The vast turbulence fluctuated to their extreme!
When his palm fell, Gu Xian’er instantly turned pale, her Dao Intent directly pressured into submission.
Then, with unwillingness, the unyielding lass was finally suppressed by Gu Changge.
The gap between the two could only be described as immense! It was not something that talent alone could make up for!
“Killing me after a mere breakthrough to the Conferred Lord Realm?”
“Gu Xian’er, did you become arrogant, or do you truly think so little of your big brother?”
Gu Changge, his expression nonchalant as ever, walked to and squatted down near Gu Xian’er. He did not care for the cold, nor the unwilling expression upon his cousin’s face as he directly pinched Gu Xian’er’s nose, making her grit her teeth in anger.
