The Source of the Sky Demons' Fear, Playing Himself to Death
The Source of the Sky Demons’ Fear, Playing Himself to Death
At the same time.
Inside the great hall.
Gu Changge opened his eyes, his expression calm and indifferent.
Almost the very moment Lin Tian schemed against him, he sensed a faint, hidden fluctuation.
From within the void came a terrifying commotion that only he could hear, like thousands of troops and horses galloping.
Then, a dreadful and sinister ripple spread out from within.
It was the aura of Sky Demons that he knew all too well.
“It seems things went pretty much as I expected.”
“Though I didn’t think it would be this kind of Cursed Hidden Technique...”
The smile on Gu Changge’s face turned somewhat meaningful.
Weng!
A dark radiance flashed through his pupils and vanished.
The Nature God’s Chant within his Knowledge Sea opened its eyes at that very moment, its gaze profound and indifferent.
Pitch-black Demonic Energy roiled like a black fog, mysterious and vast.
“Using demonic arts in front of me? So-called mighty figure of a past life, you’re far too green.”
The smile vanished from Gu Changge’s face, replaced by cold indifference.
Never mind his Demonic Heart.
The Nature God’s Chant alone was a powerful Primordial Spirit-type talent, and after being tainted by his Demonic Energy, it feared no Sky Demon in existence.
In other words, Sky Demons of this level were nothing but nourishment for his Primordial Spirit.
“Myriad Transformations Heavenly Demon...”
Gu Changge’s expression was cold as he glanced at Su Qingge, sleeping soundly beside him.
He didn’t want to wake her.
The next moment, black radiance spread across his palm.
Terrifying Demonic Energy intertwined within it, like an unparalleled great demon awakening, ready to devour everything.
Gu Changge casually reached into the void before him.
The air turned abruptly cold.
Then, as if from nowhere, came screams of utter terror.
Several wisps of black smoke were dragged out.
Accompanied by a horrifying aura that made one’s very soul tremble.
Gu Changge’s Nature God’s Chant stepped forward and inhaled toward the front, like a whale swallowing and an elephant drinking.
Kacha kacha...
Soon, such sounds rang out.
Like chewing.
The mass of Sky Demons let out terrified, despairing shrieks as they were rapidly devoured.
Gu Changge even felt his Primordial Spirit grow considerably stronger.
Within them was also contained a wisp of Lin Tian’s lifespan Source.
In the blink of an eye, the void returned to calm.
As if nothing had ever happened.
<*Ding!* Lin Tian’s lifespan has greatly decreased, Fortuity damaged by 150 points, Fatums +750.>
At that moment, the System’s notification sounded in Gu Changge’s mind.
He paid it no mind.
“With this, he’s played himself into a cripple. This newly born Fortuitous One really knows how to court death.”
“I haven’t even made a move on you yet.”
Gu Changge smiled with amusement.
“Young Master, forgive me. This old servant failed in his duty to protect you. I beg your punishment.”
Outside the great hall, Ming Lao had also sensed the terrifying disturbance in the void at the first moment and rushed over.
His expression was extremely ugly, even carrying some lingering fear and panic.
He never imagined that in the dead of night, someone would actually try to secretly harm the Young Master.
And using such insidious, underhanded methods at that.
For something like this to happen in the family he himself had founded made cold sweat break out across his back.
If it hadn’t been personally dealt with by the Young Master...
That consequence—Ming Lao didn’t even dare imagine it. He feared that dying ten thousand times over wouldn’t be enough to atone.
Weng!
Gu Changge stepped out and appeared outside the hall, his expression calm.
“It’s fine. A curse of this level can’t hurt me. What I’d like to know is who it was—to possess such methods in the Overworld.” he said with complete composure.
Gu Changge felt somewhat amused inside, but he didn’t directly say it was Lin Tian’s doing.
After all, besides Lin Qiuhan, he shouldn’t know the identities of the other Lin Family disciples so clearly.
Naming the culprit outright would be far too arbitrary.
Of course, Gu Changge’s main plan was to let the Lin Family root out the culprit themselves.
Lin Tian was now suffering backlash—there was nowhere he could run.
Next, he just had to sit back and enjoy a good show.
He had thought this Fortuitous One could be played with a while longer, but who knew he’d be finished in the blink of an eye.
Gu Changge found it all rather boring now.
It was because he was too strong, and these Fortuitous Ones were too weak.
Now that Negative Fortuity no longer restrained him, Fortuitous Ones were like ants before him, his to toy with as he pleased.
“Once the Cursed Hidden Technique is broken, the one who cast it will inevitably suffer backlash.”
“This old servant will investigate at once. I will definitely find the culprit and give Young Master an answer.”
Seeing that the Young Master didn’t blame him, Ming Lao was moved, then his expression turned stern as he made his guarantee.
Gu Changge nodded and returned to the hall.
“Young Master, what happened outside?”
Su Qingge was somewhat puzzled. She had been sleeping quite soundly, but had still been woken up.
“A small matter. It’s all settled now. Sleep.”
Gu Changge said.
Afterward, Ming Lao quickly went to gather the Lin Family members, and nearly the entire Lin Family was thrown into an uproar.
Everyone was scared out of their wits.
The elders and the Lin Family patriarch were so frightened their faces turned pale.
Everyone began searching place by place. With such a major incident as an assassination attempt on Young Master Gu, no one would be sleeping tonight.
The Cursed Hidden Technique was not something just anyone could control.
Ming Lao knew this very well.
He was also praying that this attempt on the Young Master’s life hadn’t been committed by one of his own family’s disciples.
Otherwise, he could hardly escape the blame.
...
Under the dim moonlight, in the courtyard, the instant the connection between Lin Tian and the Sky Demons was severed, he sensed something was wrong.
“No good...”
“Why?”
“Backlash! It actually backfired! What’s going on?”
Lin Tian couldn’t help but turn pale with shock. He had never anticipated something like this could happen.
His face quickly turned deathly white, then he began vomiting blood in great mouthfuls. His hair rapidly turned white, his skin wrinkled, as if he had aged decades in an instant.
His whole body became incomparably weak, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.
The moment the connection to the Cursed Hidden Technique was severed, Lin Tian had sensed the terror of those Otherworldly Sky Demons.
It was a great terror, as if they were facing the demon among demons, the emperor among demons—Mo, the Lord of all Demons.
Hidden within Gu Changge was the source of their fear.
“Why on earth?”
“That Gu fellow is fine. I absolutely can’t stay in the Lin Family anymore. Once they trace it back to me...”
Lin Tian’s expression shifted violently. Having aged over a decade in a single night, anyone could spot his abnormality.
At this point, disguise techniques would be useless. The Lin Family’s experts only needed one look to see whose Source was damaged.
Soon, Lin Tian’s expression grew even uglier.
He sensed footsteps outside. Tonight, the entire Lin Family had been alarmed.
So much so that the ancient city where the Lin Family resided had been completely sealed off.
Large numbers of Cultivators appeared in the sky, their might enveloping all directions, thoroughly investigating every suspicious person.
Lin Tian felt a sense of doom, his whole body going cold.
At this moment, he was truly starting to panic.
“Could it be that I, an Enlightened King Realm expert, will fall here?”
“I’m just a cripple in the Lin Family. They shouldn’t suspect me so quickly...”
He forced himself to calm down, searching for a way to remedy the situation.
Just then, Lin Qiuhan’s anxious voice sounded from outside the courtyard. “Xiao Tian, something huge happened tonight! Come out quickly, Father is summoning everyone...”
Lin Tian’s heart sank completely.
