Chapter 15: Chapter 118: Always Plotting from the Shadows; Gu Changge is Simply too Terrifying.
The room was dappled in moonlight, Cold breeze swept through the night making the bamboos sway eerily.
Gu Changge was admiring the scenery in front of him.
Bai Lie was stunned at this point; he froze in place and his entire body went chilly as if cold water had been poured straight on his head.
He was still clinging onto the last hope, thinking that Yin Mei was just joking with him.
That sliver of hope was gone as he watched his archnemesis, Gu Changge, arrive out of nowhere and nonchalantly pick up the warm wine on the stone table and drink it all at once.
Bai Lie believed that the wine was prepared for him.
But from Yin Mei's attitude and words earlier…
From the beginning to end, Yin Mei kept him in the dark and played with his heart.
Bai Lie's body trembled, his eyes turned blood red, and terrifying intent appeared on his forehead as a result.
A massive White Tiger Phantom materialised from the void behind him as the character 'King' emerged on his forehead.
He wasn't really stupid, but he had been deceived by Yin Mei, and now he suddenly reacted after understanding the situation.
"Gu Changge, you..."
He stared at the two of them, with eyes full of hatred!
It was then Gu Changge appeared in front of him and spoke smiling faintly, not caring about Bai Lie's angry expression in front of him.
"Brother Bai doesn't want to have a drink, do you look down on this Gu?"
Gu Changge sat down behind the stone table, moonlight fell on his handsome and fearless face, but he still had the cold temperament of an Immortal.
However, with such a scenario.
Bai Lie's heart kept sinking to the bottom of the abyss, his hands and feet were cold.
"Yin Mei, Brother Bai is your fiancée. Pour him a drink. He might be tired after running here in the middle of the night." Gu Changge smiled lightly and drank from his glass, not caring about Bai Lie's appearance, which looked like he was about to burst into flames.
For him, tonight everything was under his control.
Bai Lie had sent away his protectors and other personnel to capture Ye Ling.
But at this very moment, Ye Ling is being chased by Old Ming, trying to escape. Perhaps he is no longer in this Ancient City.
Bai Lie's people would have to spend a lot of time trying to find Ye Ling.
As a result, Gu Changge had plenty of time to act in the meantime.
Right now, there were so many things he could do, and no one had seen him except Bai Lie.
As for Ye Ling, he had never seen Gu Changge's face.
Gu Changge had just gone to check on his scapegoat and was quite satisfied with what he saw. Ye Ling is worthy of being a "Favoured Son of Heaven". His strength and reflexes are also exceptional. Besides, Ye Ling has various means to save his life.
Gu Changge felt a destructive power emanating from the Black Rune in Ye Ling's hands. It must be the life-saving rune left by the Ancient Deity of Reincarnation for Ye Ling.
So, Gu Changge told Old Ming to not push Ye Ling too far, and that keeping a watch on him was enough.
He knew that Ye Ling would not use such a precious life-saving thing in such a place.
It would be too wasteful to use it to deal with the existence of a God King Realm.
There is no need for Old Ming to die for such a trivial matter.
The reason why Gu Changge instructed Yin Mei to suggest Bai Lie come here at this time of the night is naturally not to pretend in front of Bai Lie.
Although this feeling is refreshing. Gu Changge still had things to do. If Bai Lie isn't dead, how would he throw the blame on Ye Ling's head?
It was time for Bai Lie to play his final and biggest role.
"Yes, Master."
Hearing this, Yin Mei walked away step by step.
She approached Bai Lie, who was glaring at her with a stiff and angry expression, and filled the white jade glass in front of him, saying lightly, "Do you think I would pour wine for you if it weren't for Master's magnanimity?"
Her words didn't have the same kind of tenderness as before but were rather indifferent and disgusted.
This caused Bai Lie's body to tremble all over and he wanted to slap her to death.
'How could I be so stupid and fall into Yin Mei's trap?'
But if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes tonight, he'd be in the dark and played in the palm of Yin Mei's hand in the future.
"You are so cruel, Yin Mei! I've been so nice to you and treated you with courtesy, so why are you doing this to me?"
Bai Lie wanted to shout, but he couldn't muster up his strength to do so.
Yin Mei glanced at him without saying a word, feeling that there was no need to tell him anything.
Buzz!
Around the inner courtyard, a brilliance emerged and layers of hazy light and shadows were rising as if flowing mist, turning into a terrible chaotic fog, blocking the sky.
When Bai Lie stepped into this place, he triggered the formation arranged here, the fog enveloped all directions, and no momentum could be heard!
And what made Bai Lie distressed was that he didn't bring anyone with him, even the followers who were always hidden in the void were sent away by him to capture Ye Ling.
This made Bai Lie secretly despise himself, how could he be so stupid in a single day.
'Why did Yin Mie behave and talk like that before? It was to separate me from Brother Ye and we really got caught in the trap.'
He couldn't help but shiver when he thought of this.
'I even sent everyone around me to capture Brother Ye'
Thinking about this caused Bai Lie to feel lonely and helpless.
'I thought I was given a hint by Yin Mei. In reality, I was just being lured into a trap from the start.'
Bai Lie figured it out, his scalp went numb and his body was drenched in sweat.
His every move was anticipated and controlled by others from start to finish. They'd dug a hole just for him and he jumped directly into it.
'Yin Mei's acting skills are too terrifying! Unfortunately, I had always thought of her as a gentle and kind person!'
Yin Mei, who had finished pouring the wine, went back to Gu Changge, and respectfully filled the empty white jade glass for him.
"Do you have anything to say, Brother Bai Lie?"
"I heard that you always wanted to kill me, and now that I'm right in front of you, why don't you do it?"
Gu Changge smiled lightly and took a fluffy snow-white foxtail in his hand, his expression was comfortable and relaxed.
'Since ancient times many villains have died due to lack of meticulousness in their plans, leading to their downfall.'
'Even if Bai Lie is given the entire night, he will not be able to escape from me. So there's no reason to hurry.'
'And I want to know what this guy is capable of, after all, he always wanted to kill me.'
For his enemies, Gu Changge naturally has a variety of cruel means to have them killed.
He doesn't have a distorted personality, but just this once, he wanted to do it like this.
"Why did you deceive me, Yin Mei? What makes Gu Changge so special, and what did he promise you? If he is threatening you, tell me so that I can help you!"
Bai Lie stared at Yin Mei ferociously, as if he was about to devour her.
"You are really stupid."
"Master is not someone you can compare to."
Yin Mei glanced at him with disgust and indifference. From the beginning to the end, she had the same attitude towards Bai Lie.
She wouldn't have been able to bear the gentle appearance she had before if it hadn't been for Gu Changge's order.
And if one wants to ask who's better between Gu Changge and Bai Lie?
Except for the indifference and ruthlessness of his methods, were there any other qualities to which he could even compare? He is not even worthy of carrying Gu Changge's shoes.
"Gu Changge, you are the one who orchestrated everything, aren't you? In fact, you have been secretly controlling all of this, right? Yin Mei has been following your orders from the beginning?"
Bai Lie roared, looking as if his eyes would pop out from sheer anger.
Yin Mei, who always kept a distance of three feet from him, is now acting all cute and affectionate in front of Gu Changge.
This infuriated him, Qi surged through his body, revealing a terrifying White Tiger Phantom, he couldn't help but want to slap the two of them to death!
Why did he not see it before?
'Gu Changge is hiding too deeply! Who would have thought that he had been secretly controlling all this?'
'No one could have thought of this. After all, before this, even I didn't know that Yin Mei was actually taking orders from Gu Changge.'
'No, it's not just me, it might be that even the disciples and Elders of Heavenly Dao Immortals Palace didn't know it.'
'When exactly did this start?'
A soul-chilling shiver went down his spine.
'Gu Changge is the most terrifying person I've ever met!'
'He has been hiding in the dark and dominating everything? What is his purpose? Or is this just a sinister plan to control everything from the shadows?'
"It appears that you are not too stupid, and you have finally reacted, otherwise I would've begun to wonder if there was something wrong with your brain."
Gu Changge chuckled lightly, as he raised his cup to toast and drank the wine leisurely and then continued, "Brother Bai should drink this glass, after all the road to the afterlife is long."
"What did you say… you're going to kill me?"
Bai Lie shivered, unable to believe Gu Changge's words, and it was already too late to berate the two people in front of him.
'Behind me is the White Tiger Clan, an Ancient Immortal Family. Does Gu Changge have the audacity to kill me?'
He had never seen anyone say such murderous words so light-heartedly and with a smiling face.
A terrifying killing Intent fell on him, making him feel like he was drowning!
'Gu Changge is far more terrifying than what he appears to be!'
He always thought that Gu Changge was just a Young Supreme with an advanced Cultivation Base, but he never expected him to have such a side.
"Brother Bai, It seems that you are still unable to see the situation clearly, huh? Why would I want you to come here if I didn't want to kill you? Or Would you like to have a long conversation late at night?" Gu Changge let out a chuckle like there were no fluctuations in his courtyard, let alone the Killing Intent.
Buzz!
But when the words fell, the white jade wine glass in his hand suddenly broke, and a flower started blooming all of a sudden, it was like a dazzling Immortal Flower taking root in the void, to absorb the nourishment of sentient beings.
Puff!
Bai Lie had been paying attention to Gu Changge, to not get caught off guard, but he never expected that he would strike while he was speaking. He couldn't put up any resistance at all and was directly blown away.
The White Tiger phantom that had emerged behind him was directly blown into ashes!
His chest exploded, and there was a Demonic Immortal Flower that actually took root in it. The crystalline flower swayed, letting out a glittering light, like a Peerless Immortal Flower.
Bai Lie roared in agony at the terrible pain that seemed to come from the depths of his soul.
All the means of resistance was disintegrated in an instant, and the White Tiger Phantom he had summoned vanished in a flash, turning it into ashes!
The gap between the two of them was too big!
"Your strength is definitely not at the Conferred King Realm. What else are you hiding..."
Bai Lie got up, his eyes widened, as he coughed up blood. He couldn't believe it.
Because Gu Changge just broke through his White Tiger Spirit Technique with just a random shot, which means that Gu Changge's Spirit Technique has exceeded the level that his current Realm can resist!
This made Bai Lie shocked and couldn't help but be frightened, 'How many secrets is Gu Changge hiding? It's so terrifying.'
"The Origin White Tiger Spirit is really wasted in Brother Bai Lie's hands"
Gu Changge was not looking at Bai Lie at this moment but at the dark golden rune that gradually emerged from Bai Lie's hands with a satisfied look on his face.
If there was anything he was interested in, then it was definitely the Origin of the White Tiger Spirit.
It is ranked at the top three in terms of offensive power, it is extremely sharp and when evolved all the way, can become the most powerful means of attacking.
It's just that Bai Lie's current Realm is too far apart from him, and he simply can't exert the true power from the Origin of White Tiger Spirit.
Buzz!
Suddenly, Bai Lie burst into a dark golden flame, and the terrifying 'King' character shone brightly, with the pressure to make all beasts submit to it, he was burning Blood Essence, so he could fight to the death.
However, what astonished him was that the radiant Immortal Flower showed no trace of going away.
Blub!
A petal of the flower bloomed, it was beautiful and attractive but it used fresh blood as its nourishment.
Gu Changge sat behind the stone table with an expression of interest, without any movement.
But Bai Lie knew that if he didn't give it his all right now, he would definitely die.
Gu Changge's eyes were exactly the same as a predator looking at prey, or a small ant that can be squashed to death at will.
"I'll fight you, Gu Changge!"
At the same time, Bai Lie's Spiritual Sea glowed, and a hazy brilliance appeared in it.
He brought out a bright Golden Talisman with many golden runes flowing on it, transforming it into a terrifying White Tiger that can sweep across the Nine Heavens with terrifying pressure!
This was his ultimate life-saving method, and he can only use it when his life is at risk!
"Die!"
Bai Lie roared and turned into a dark golden shadow, rushing towards Gu Changge to kill him. If the courtyard wasn't covered by protective formations, it would've definitely exploded!
Suddenly, a terrifying Demonic Aura appeared.
A dark crimson halberd swung in the air and was held by Gu Changge's hands.
He didn't move, his expression was plain, as he swept the halberd straight down.
With a puff, the unusually bright Golden Talisman burst directly into the void, and even the White Tiger Phantom collapsed instantly!
"Your real Cultivation Base is in the Heavenly God Realm..." Bai Lie's eyes were filled with despair and disbelief.
"Be good and wait for your death. Who taught you to resist?"
Gu Changge's expression remained unchanged, and his other hand quickly reached out to Bai Lie's neck, and immediately strangled him, causing his breathing to stop in an instant!
