Time went by quickly. Several days had passed since Di Kun killed Chu Xiao.

 

Gu Changge did not stay in Purple Return City. He was not interested in heading to the so-called Thousand Treasures Secret Domain.

 

Considering his power, he would be too lazy to even take a look at a Secret Domain left behind by a Last Stage expert, let alone one from a Dao Realm expert.

 

Uncle Fu secretly left the next day after he awakened. It had to be said that he had not left without a word.

 

He had left behind a letter on the table to express his gratitude. He sincerely thanked Gu Changge for saving his life.

 

However, he was from the Land of Celestial Suffering, so he had to hurriedly return to his country even though he had yet to fully recover, considering that Chu Xiao was dead.

 

If there was a chance in the future, he would repay Gu Changge’s favour for saving his life.

 

Upon reading Uncle Fu’s letter, Gu Changge put on a dismissive smile and destroyed it.

 

He did not expect Uncle Fu to repay his favour. After all, the older man was merely at the Second Decay, so he did not have much power in Gu Changge’s opinion.

 

What Gu Changge valued was his status and connections in the Land of Celestial Suffering.

 

According to the information he had gathered, even though Uncle Fu was not powerful, he was one of the most authoritative people in the Land of Celestial Suffering. He took care of Chu Gucheng when the latter was a young kid and witnessed the latter’s rise to power. It could be said that he was one of the founding members of the country.

 

Now that Chu Xiao was dead, the situation would be slightly awkward for Uncle Fu when he returned to the Land of Celestial Suffering.

 

It was difficult to understand human nature and predict what they would do in any given situation.

 

Those from the Land of Celestial Suffering were only going against enemies from the outside, but the situation was stable on the inside. It was hard to destroy them.

 

Moreover, Chu Gucheng had been to different Civilisations and had made many friends. They would lend him a helping hand at the most critical moment.

 

In another Supreme Civilisation named Rising Dawn Civilisation, there was an existence who was close friends with Chu Gucheng.

 

Back then, the existence had detected Gu Changge’s prying eyes, which was why he had sent a warning to the Primary Hope Civilisation.

 

The Land of Celestial Suffering was the biggest obstacle for Gu Changge if he wanted to take control of the Primary Hope Civilisation, but at the same time, it was also a gap he could easily open up.

 

He was not in a hurry though. He had placed several important chess pieces on the chessboard. Now, he wanted to know if anyone was capable of confronting him.

 

Chu Gucheng was calm enough and did not let his wrath get to his head. Gu Changge had already considered that when devising his plan.

 

He did not expect that the death of Chu Xiao alone would disintegrate the Land of Celestial Suffering.

 

Even the most impressive embankment could be destroyed by ants. Regardless of how robust a wall was, it would fall apart one day once a gap appeared.

 

Gu Changge took Ye Suyi to return to the Imperial Celestial Academy.

 

He had taken control of the Imperial Celestial Academy in Tai Yuan Ancient Territory, so he did not have to worry that anyone would realise his identity.

 

Naturally, Ye Suyi knew nothing about Gu Changge’s identity and background, nor did she ask any questions. She had been obedient during this period.

 

Upon returning to the Imperial Celestial Academy, Gu Changge told her to cultivate her just like the other Disciples, that she did not have to follow him around.

 

Before this, he had asked the Headmaster of the Academy to gather some information from the Imperial Celestial Palace, and there was some progress.

 

The Founder of the Imperial Celestial Palace had indeed left with a group of people. It was their top secret that only a small number of people were aware of.

 

As for where the Founder was now, no one had the answer.

 

Gu Changge fell into his thoughts upon receiving the news.

 

The descendants of the Imperial Celestial Palace’s Founder had a causal connection with the place where the armour, the Six Directions Heavenly Abyss, was sealed.

 

If he wanted to acquire it, he had to go to the Sealed Land through their connection. Otherwise, he could only head to other Civilisations and look for people who had something to do with the fact that Six Directions Heavenly Abyss was sealed.

 

However, it would be time-wasting and cause him a lot of trouble.

 

After some consideration, Gu Changge decided that he had to head to the Imperial Celestial Palace to look for the clues.

 

During this period, the Forces in the Primary Hope Civilisation were looking for him in an attempt to find out about his background.

 

While observing the situation in the Primary Hope Civilisation, Gu Changge was also paying attention to the changes in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation and the Heavenslayers Alliance.

 

News about the Heavenslayers Alliance’s existence had only been spread in the Primary Hope Civilisation. Living beings in other further Supreme True Worlds were not aware of it yet.

 

Previously, those from the Land of Celestial Suffering spread some news claiming that the Heavenslayers Alliance in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation had something to do with remnants of the Black Disaster.

 

The news caused a panic in the Primary Hope Civilisation.

 

However, those Forces soon discovered that the Heavenslayers Alliance was not as horrifying as they had imagined. Those from the Heavenslayers Alliance had only been spreading their doctrine in Nascent True Worlds.

 

Therefore, in some ruined Civilisations and Great Realms, fervent followers of the Heavenslayers Alliance started appearing. Nevertheless, those followers were too weak. Many True Worlds had just gone through the Great Purge, and they were still in a desolate stage. Their cultivation path had been destoryed. It would take them a long time to restore their past glories.

 

Among those followers, some claimed to have received the blessings from the Heavenslayers Alliance Leader.

 

They called themselves Heavenslayers Guardians, and they were equipped with some extraordinary powers. They also had some crazy and fervent reverence for the Heavenslayers Alliance Leader.

 

The Forces in the Primary Hope Civilisation could easily gather such information. It was for this reason that they let down their guards, thinking that it was just a newly formed Force that was trying to attract more followers in the name of Heavenslaying. The Force did not pose any threat to them. It seemed that they did not even have an Ancestral Dao Realm expert.

 

The Heavenslayers Alliance Leader was the only mysterious and unpredictable one. Only the core members of the Heavenslayers Alliance had seen his face and were aware of his identity. Ordinary cultivators knew nothing about his power and background.

 

This concerned the Forces of the Primary Hope Civilisation. They were trying to find out more about the leader.

 

That said, they still disregarded the existence of the Heavenslayers Alliance. They did not take this new Force seriously at all.

 

There had been many such Forces in the past, but they all ended horribly. They either disintegrated before becoming successful or turned into ashes after suffering a backlash.

 

There was little association between Heavenslayers Alliance and the Black Disaster which had devastated the Boundless Expanse in the past.

 

The mysterious Heavenslayers Alliance Leader might have a connection with the Black Disaster or acquired some of the inheritance at most.

 

Still, the Forces in the Primary Hope Civilisation chose not to take the Heavenslayers Alliance seriously.

 

It was just that these Forces were puzzled as to how the Great Purge they had predicted would befall them.
