Using His Own Name to Show Off, Watching a Good Show
Using His Own Name to Show Off, Watching a Good Show
It had to be said, such a dramatic scene was currently unfolding before the gates of Supreme Stygian Holy Land.
The various sects and families that had arrived earlier, all aggressive and brimming with killing intent, now all wore amiable expressions.
Even the hot-tempered old Emperor of the Great Sun Empire was being held back tightly by those beside him.
Anyone who didn’t know better would think all these forces belonged to the same family.
“So this is the beauty of power in this world.”
“As long as Qingge can keep Gu Gongzi’s favor, with this connection in place, who in all of Eastern Barren wouldn’t step aside when they see me in the future?”
The Supreme Stygian Archbishop mused thus in his heart, and at the thought of that future scene, he felt a surge of excitement and exhilaration.
Though on the surface, he still wore that arrogant, smug expression.
In his heart, he was perfectly clear.
If Gu Changge had not been presiding over Supreme Stygian Holy Land today, it would absolutely have been carved up by these great forces, reduced to a ruined wasteland.
Not just him—the entire Supreme Stygian Holy Land felt boundless gratitude and reverence toward Gu Changge.
They knew very well exactly who it was that made all the other forces revere them like gods!
What Gu Changge could bestow upon them, he could naturally take back just as easily.
“If you want an audience with Gu Gongzi, you’ll have to show your sincerity.”
“Not just anyone gets to see him.”
With that, the Supreme Stygian Archbishop sneered, transformed into a streak of divine light, and left the mountain gate directly, paying no mind to all the great forces still waiting there.
The pressing matter at hand was to ask whether Gu Gongzi would see them or not.
This wasn’t about borrowing his prestige to show off.
Inside the palace, learning that this was the purpose of the Supreme Stygian Archbishop’s visit, Gu Changge was somewhat surprised—he hadn’t expected the man to actually use his name to show off.
But he couldn’t be bothered with such trivial matters, and simply let the Supreme Stygian Archbishop handle it as he saw fit.
Right now, he was still waiting to watch a good show.
He only hoped Su Qingge wouldn’t disappoint him.
......
“Damn it, that Su Taixuan’s smug face is infuriating. I really want to tear it off...”
“Isn’t he just lucky? What’s so great about that?”
Outside the gates of Supreme Stygian Holy Land, many people were furious, yet inwardly envious.
But none dared to actually barge into Supreme Stygian Holy Land.
Everyone could see it—Supreme Stygian Holy Land had clearly latched onto that young lord’s thigh, which was why they dared act so arrogantly.
This alone was enough to show just how terrifying that young lord’s origins were.
If they accidentally provoked him, wouldn’t that bring utter annihilation upon their sects?
Of course, many were also curious—just what kind of young lord was he?
Especially the young talents who had come along with the Holy Lands and Empires.
Among them were men and women alike, all accomplished in cultivation, their bodies shrouded in divine light.
Ordinarily, they prided themselves as the finest of Eastern Barren’s younger generation.
But what they witnessed today truly shocked them to the core.
A mere young man—one who hadn’t even shown himself—had made all the great forces this wary?
“It’s truly inconceivable. Could he be a young figure from Middle State?” a young man with hair as brilliant as gold couldn’t help but ask curiously.
He was the Holy Son of Pseudo-Sol Holy Land, who had come along with the Elders today, prepared to join the battle and broaden his horizons while he was at it.
He never expected to witness such a dramatic scene.
So he subconsciously assumed it must be a young figure from Middle State, come here for training.
Compared to the rather remote lands of Eastern Barren, Middle State was a place of outstanding people and spiritual richness, where some lineages could even tether themselves to the legendary Beyond.
Their Founding Ancestors had ascended to the Beyond, and their foundations were powerful beyond imagination.
“I’m afraid it’s not that simple. Middle State’s forces are strong, but not enough to make Supreme Stygian Holy Land act this arrogantly.”
“Today’s events were truly beyond all expectations...”
Hearing this, Zhao Tian, the Supreme Elder of Pseudo-Sol Holy Land, couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
Though he looked every bit the immortal, Daoist-Boned figure of a venerable master, he likewise dared not go anywhere now, and could only wait obediently before the gates of Supreme Stygian Holy Land.
......
Meanwhile, on the other side.
After Gu Changge left the pavilion, Su Qingge stood dazed for a while, then returned to the palace where she usually cultivated and resided.
Her expression was somewhat distressed.
She was wondering what exactly she had done to displease Gu Changge, causing him to leave so abruptly back then.
Without even telling her the reason.
But after thinking for a long time, she still couldn’t figure it out.
She could only sigh—as expected of Gu Gongzi, truly impossible to read. She had no idea what he was thinking at all.
To win the favor of someone like him was truly difficult.
As for the matter of the great forces coming to attack, Su Qingge hadn’t worried about it at all.
Knowing Gu Changge’s origins, she understood even better what that meant.
As long as the other great forces weren’t stupid, they wouldn’t dare make a move against Supreme Stygian Holy Land while Gu Changge resided there.
Even in the future, they wouldn’t dare.
“There’s someone in the hall...”
But soon, Su Qingge’s expression shifted slightly.
She was, after all, the Saintess of Supreme Stygian Holy Land, cultivated since childhood, her strength among the very best of her generation in Eastern Barren.
She could still detect a fluctuation of aura like this.
At that moment, the person hiding in the shadows also stepped out.
“Qingge...”
The man’s features were delicate, his face pale, his eyes bloodshot, his hair disheveled—he looked utterly wretched.
Clearly, he hadn’t been doing well lately.
But his emotions ran high.
After all, he had finally seen the person he had longed for day and night, the one he worried about most.
“Ye Chen...”
Su Qingge’s brows furrowed as she recognized the current Ye Chen.
Ever since he had been thrown into the dungeon, she had not inquired about him.
Much less gone to visit him.
After all, she had told Gu Changge that she would no longer concern herself with Ye Chen—and so she would not.
She was a woman of her principles.
