At this moment, not only the siblings of the Ji family wanted to know what happened in the cave, even the rest of the people stared at Gu Changge with extreme curiosity and doubt. They couldn’t help guessing the scenario.
After all, everyone was only concerned about running for their lives at that time, so how could they know if the Ancestor of the Ji family was trapped in the cave?
They had long forgotten their purpose of entering Mount Kun. And the most important point was that all the forces that entered Mount Kun had suffered heavy losses, even several Sect leaders were lost.
At such a time, keeping one’s life alive had become a problem, and no one had the leisure to care about what happened to the Ancestor of the Ji family. Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Gu Changge was not surprised, he already had an excuse.
So, he shook his head lightly and said, “After entering the cave, I chased in the direction Jiang Chen was escaping, but before chasing very far, I encountered a thick fog that emerged from nowhere.”
“I was trapped in it for several months, and after I escaped, I felt the sound of fighting in the distance, but I felt that the aura was far beyond my ability to fight, so I didn’t get close to it. I guess senior Ji Sheng Chu was fighting the old man in feathered clothes…”
“I haven’t met that old man in feathered clothes during these days, maybe he was sealed by senior Ji Sheng Chu again in Mount Kun, but it’s a pity…” Gu Changge had a regretful expression on his face as if he felt sorry for not rescuing Ji Sheng Chu.
The expressions of Ji Yaoxing and Ji Chu Yue also darkened. Although they had expected it a long time ago, Gu Changge’s words still made them feel blocked. Their Ancestor Ji Sheng Chu might still be trapped in Mount Kun.
But he might have already died with that old man in feathered clothes. And the culprit who caused all this was Jiang Chen, whom Ji Chu Yue trusted so much before.
“d.a.m.n that Jiang Chen, he killed so many powerhouses this time, there will be no place for him in the Upper Realm.”
After hearing this, many people were extremely shocked and filled with righteous indignation.
Jiang Chen not only blocked their escape route, but also released the old man in feathered clothes who was sealed in the mysterious jade, resulting in the tragic death of many cultivators, and even the Enlightened beings were not spared.
The heinous crime he committed would not be an exaggeration even if his body had to be shredded into pieces and his bones pulled out.
“Sister, I can’t blame you for this, it’s because Jiang Chen is hiding it very deeply, you were kept in the dark by him. I have long said that he is not a good person. If you meet him again in the future, you should be careful.” Seeing his sister’s expression of guilt, Ji Yaoxing couldn’t help but sigh softly.
He guessed that Jiang Chen should have left Mount Kun long ago and fled. With his means, these prohibition patterns in Mount Kun couldn’t stop him.
“It was I who killed the elders and the clansmen…” Ji Chu Yue said sadly while feeling guilty.
She always felt that Jiang Chen was not like a villain, he acted with a free and confident demeanor, resolute and courageous. But it turned out that she was not just wrong but dead wrong.
Jiang Chen was the deeply hidden inheritor of demonic arts, and countless young supreme beings had tragically died in his hands.
Maybe Jiang Chen’s purpose in getting close to her was to seek the origin of her physique. One day, when she was not prepared, he would attack her.
“Miss Chu Yue, you don’t need to blame yourself. In fact, before this, I didn’t know that Jiang Chen would be the inheritor of demonic arts. It’s reasonable for you to be deceived by him. But from now on, Miss Chu Yue has to learn a little bit.” Gu Changge smiled lightly when he heard the words, and said comfortingly, “Jiang Chen just took advantage of your kindness to hide it from you for so long.”
Ji Chu Yue didn’t expect that Gu Changge would comfort herself, and she was taken aback. Then thinking of his behavior when he was in the dungeon, her pretty face turned slightly red.
In her impression, Gu Changge’s temperament was extremely cold and forceful. It was rare for him to comfort others like this. This made her feel a strange emotion in her heart as she nodded and hummed lightly.
In the next few days, everyone stayed together and headed out of Mount Kun. On the way, they met many scattered cultivators, and inquired about the situation during this period of time from their words.
Everyone’s experience was actually similar, but this group of people was more unlucky. On the way, they encountered the Enlightened Ice Dragon that they met before, and many of them died tragically.
They were lucky enough to survive, and some even witnessed the Heavenly Demon Monarch being swallowed by that Ice Dragon, and his life and death were unknown.
This news shocked many people. The Heavenly Demon Monarch was the leader of the current younger generation, standing at the pinnacle of his generation, with limitless achievements in the future.
Even he had an accident?
This silenced the people who had survived the desperation. Their hearts were extremely heavy. They had already expected that the news of what happened in Mount Kun would cause huge disturbances.
First, on the way into Mount Kun, people from the An Clan and War Immortal Mansion met unknown circ.u.mstances and died tragically. Then the true ident.i.ty of Jiang Chen, the inheritor of demonic arts, was exposed. He released a peerless murderer to kill many Great sect leaders and Enlightened beings.
Now even the Heavenly Demon Monarch died tragically in the mouth of the Ice Dragon?
This news would definitely cause a sensation in the entire Upper Realm. The An Clan, War Immortal Mansion, Heavenly Demon Mansion, and other forces would never let it go.
After half a month, everyone finally left the territory of Mount Kun and reappeared outside. Isolated from the terrifying aura, the outside sky was clear and cloudless, with occasional divine lights pa.s.sing by, making everyone surprised and excited inexplicably.
“Great, we finally came out. I don’t want to come to Mount Kun again…” Some people spoke incoherently with excitement, and their voices trembled.
Ji Chu Yue and Ji Yaoxing were also sighing, feeling as if they had just pa.s.sed away. Without Gu Changge, they probably would have been trapped in Mount Kun for a long time. Maybe they would end up like their Ancestor, and they would be trapped in it for a lifetime, and it would be difficult to escape.
“I wonder if father, elders, and the others have escaped…” The two of them looked back at Mount Kun, still feeling a little palpitating.
Afterward, everyone thanked Gu Changge and bid him goodbye. They expressed their grat.i.tude for this period of time before turning into divine lights and left without stopping, returning to the forces behind them to report what happened in Mount Kun.
“My sister and I will never forget Young Master Changge’s great kindness. If there is anything that Young Master Changge has to do in the future, just say it to me. Even if it is going to the mountains of swords and seas of fire, my sister and I will not hesitate.”
Ji Yaoxing and Ji Chu Yue also calmed down, left, and returned to the family.
After rescuing the Ancestor of the Ji family, their Ji family suffered heavy losses. The few remaining Ancestors had also died tragically in Mount Kun. The rest of the people were missing, and their life and death were unknown.
From now on, even if the Ji family could rescue their Ancestor, they would be reduced to second-rate or even third-rate, and would not be able to return to their former glory.
“Brother Yaoxing, Miss Chu Yue, walk slowly.” With a smile on his face, Gu Changge quietly watched them leave.
A large part of the reason why he rescued everyone from Mount Kun was to pa.s.s on what happened in Mount Kun through the mouths of everyone. Although Jiang Chen was dead, Gu Changge still wanted to create the illusion that the inheritor of demonic arts was not dead, but just escaped.
After returning to Kunwu City, Gu Changge first asked Alpha to call An Yan.
When he went to the underground palace to hunt down Jiang Chen, he ordered Alpha to take An Yan and leave Mount Kun. After all, he still wanted to keep this p.a.w.n to control the An Clan.
Once An Xi died, from then on, the An Clan would also fall into An Yan’s hands. Those few drops of Shadow Immortal True Blood still had some effect on Gu Changge.
In addition, the An Clan’s strength in the Upper Realm was not weak, and it would not cost much for Gu Changge to control it.
“You should go back to Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace. Since I said that I don’t blame the past, I won’t blame you anymore.”
