Chapter 118.2: Leading the Play from Behind the Scenes; Terrifying Gu Changge!

TL: VILFIC | ED: davidebic

“Yin Mei, why did you deceive me? What kind of benefits did Gu Changge promise you for you to serve him? Tell me if he’s threatening you, and I guarantee to help you!”

Bai Lie stared at Yin Mei with a fierce glare that made it seem like he wanted to swallow her whole.

“Foolish man! You’ll never be capable of going against my Master.”

Yin Mei looked down on Bai Lie with eyes full of disgust, disdain, and indifference — this was how she viewed him from the start.

If not for Gu Changge’s instructions, she would have never been able to pretend to be a gentle and virtuous woman in front of him.

As for how Gu Changge was better than Bai Lie?

Other than not having Gu Changge’s indifference and ruthless means, nothing else made him stand out in front of Gu Changge.

In her view, Bai Lie couldn’t even compare to one of Gu Changge’s shoes.

“Gu Changge, you arranged all of this, right? In fact, you led all of us by the nose from behind the scenes, didn’t you? For this whole time, Yin Mei was listening to your orders, right?”

Bai Lie roared.

By now, his eyes had reached a point where they might just burst with rage and hatred at any time.

Yin Mei, who always kept a distance of three steps from him, looked so intimate and obedient when standing right next to Gu Changge, and this fact made his blood rush to his brain.

Bai Lie couldn’t wait to slap the two of them to death!

Why couldn’t he see through this farce?

Gu Changge sure knew how to hide his plots!

Who would have thought that he was secretly leading them by the nose all this time?

No one could have imagined it.

After all, he never heard anything about Yin Mei being Gu Changge’s b!7ch!

And it wasn’t just him; even the disciples of the Heavenly Immortal Dao Palace probably didn’t know about this fact.

When exactly did she turn to his side?

Bai Lie’s soul almost froze over when he realized everything.

Gu Changge was too terrifying!

Was he hiding everything like this to dominate everyone and everything? What was he trying to achieve? Could it be…he couldn’t be plotting something terrifying, right? He couldn’t be the one plotting everything behind the scenes, right?

“It seems that you aren’t as dumb as you look! I would have doubted you and your achievements if you didn’t react as fast as you did.”

Gu Changge said with a chuckle and then raised his glass to his lips and slowly took a sip before adding, “Brother Bai, you should down this cup of wine as soon as possible. The Yellow Spring is a long way from here, and you won’t get anything to drink on the way.”

“What…Gu Changge, are you planning to murder me?!”

Gu Changge’s words made Bai Lie shiver in terror, and he realized that he didn’t even have words to curse the two in front of him.

The entire White Tiger Family, a mighty Ancient Immortal Family, stood behind him, so did Gu Changge dare to kill him for real?

He had never seen anyone other than Gu Changge who could speak such murderous words with a lighthearted tone and a smile.

At the same time, Bai Lie felt a monstrous bloodthirst rush at him with the intent to drown him to death.

Gu Changge was far more terrifying than he appeared on the surface.

Everyone in the world believed Gu Changge to be nothing but a Young Supreme with a profound Cultivation Base… alas, who would have thought that he would have such a side to him.

“Brother Bai, are you retarded or something? Why would I make you come all the way here if I wasn’t going to kill you? Do you think I am here to chat with you all night long?”

Gu Changge said with an indifferent laugh.

[Hum!]

Right after he finished his words, the wine glass in his hands burst apart and released countless divine flowers that bloomed in their surroundings. A dazzling immortal flower materialized out of nowhere and took root in the Void in front of them, appearing as if it desired to absorb the vitality of all the living beings in existence.

[Puff!]

Bai Lie, who kept a keen eye on Gu Changge, never expected Gu Changge to make a move right after he finished his words, so he couldn’t resist the impact of Gu Changge’s attack that blew him away.

The phantom of the white tiger behind him got crushed into smithereens!

Bai Lie’s chest exploded, and a divine flower with crystal-like petals took root inside him. The flower swayed and released a burst of light that rained on him.

At the same time, a terrifying pain from the depths of his soul assaulted Bai Lie’s mind and made him roar.

All of his resistance and offensive might got crushed in nothing but a moment, including the white tiger phantom he had just materialized.

The difference between the two of them couldn’t be estimated!

“This is most definitely not the strength of a Conferred King! What else are you hiding…”

Bai Lie tried to stand up with widened eyes.

Blood covered his body, and he coughed even more of it as he stood up with an expression full of disbelief.

The fact that Gu Changge could so easily obliterate his white tiger phantom and resistance meant that the strength he displayed just then had surpassed the level his current realm could resist!

This realization stunned Bai Lie, and he wondered just how many more secrets Gu Changge hid?

Gu Changge was too terrifying!

“[Ultimate Golden Destructive Ability] is such a waste in your hands, Brother Bai.”

Gu Changge didn’t answer his question and stared at the golden runes that gradually materialized in Bai Lie’s hands with satisfaction.

The thing that made him interested in Bai Lie — besides wanting to use him as a tool to pin the Forbidden Inheritance on Ye Ling — was none other than the [Ultimate Golden Destructive Ability].

It was one of the top three abilities of the Upper Realm when it came to destructive might, after all.

It’s just that the gap between Bai Lie and his realm was too great, so there was no way for Bai Lie to exert the ability’s true might.

[Hum!]

Right then, a dark golden flame burst from Bai Lie’s body, and the radiance of the word ‘King’ on his forehead also soared as he gave off a terrifying aura that could subdue all beasts into surrender — he was burning his life force as he resolved himself to fight to the death.

However, what left him dumbfounded, was the dazzling immortal flower rooted in his chest. Even after he went all out, the flower didn’t disappear. It was as if it was embedded deep into his soul!

The bloodied flower was in full bloom, and its petals swayed in the surroundings.

Gu Changge, on the other hand, didn’t stand up and only watched the scene in front of him with an expression of interest.

Bai Lie, however, understood well that he would die without a doubt if he didn’t go all out right now. He could see that Gu Changge only looked at him with the eyes of a hunter looking at its prey or someone high up looking down on a powerless ant that could be stomped to death at any moment.

“Gu Changge, I must slaughter you!”

A bright light burst out from the depths of Bai Lie’s Sea of Consciousness.

He had sacrificed a dazzling golden page with countless golden runes circulating around it, which turned into a white tiger that gave off a terrifying aura of suppression and seemed to desire the fall of the Heavens!

It was the life-saving treasure that he kept for a life-threatening situation where he had no way out!

“Die!”

Bai Lie turned into a golden shadow with a yell and rushed at Gu Changge with the intent to duke it out with him. If a concealment formation weren’t covering the surroundings, his aura would have surprised the entire ancient city.

Suddenly, monstrous demonic energy permeated the surroundings as a dark, crimson halberd cut through the air and appeared in Gu Changge’s hand. Without a change in his expression, he cut down with the halberd.

The white tiger, which rushed at him, exploded with a pop, and the golden page also crumbled before it could touch him!

“You are a god…”

Disbelief and despair filled Bai Lie’s eyes, and he opened his mouth to utter some words.

“Aren’t you too eager for death? Do I need to teach you how to put up some resistance now?”

Gu Changge said with a flat tone as his other hand reached out and grabbed Bai Lie’s neck at lightning speed. Within moments, the offensive aura around Bai Lie disappeared into thin air.
