Naturally, Gu Changge was pleased with the current situation. Since the Forces in the Primary Hope Civilisation had no regard for the Heavenslayers Alliance, it meant that there was room for manoeuvre.

 

He did not want the Heavenslayers Alliance to catch the attention of those Civilisations. By staying in the dark, they could reach places that were hidden from the light.

 

However, he estimated that such a situation would not last for long.

 

When he fully took control of the Primary Hope Civilisation, it meant that he would gain a footing in the Boundless Expanse.

 

After that, he would not have to be so cautious in everything he did like what was happening now.

 

During this period, the territory where the Imperial Celestial Palace was located in Tai Yuan Ancient Territory had been peaceful. They were not affected by the conflict between the Land of Celestial Suffering and the Beast Court.

 

Ye Suyi still stayed by Gu Changge’s side, but she could not see him most of the time. Because of her stunning beauty, she became popular at the Imperial Celestial Academy.

 

Many Disciples speculated that she was the Disciple of the mysterious Elder on Azure Falling Peak.

 

Gu Changge usually stayed on the Azure Falling Peak which was covered in clouds. Since others could not see him, they had no idea what he had been doing.

 

Sometimes, Ye Suyi would head to Azure Falling Peak to look for Gu Changge with the excuse of not understanding something regarding cultivation, but she would not get to see him most of the time.

 

She had no idea what Gu Changge had been doing either. It seemed like he did not need to go into seclusion like the other Elders.

 

There was once when she saw the Headmaster of the Academy appearing on the Azure Falling Peak and respectfully reporting something to him.

 

The sight shocked Ye Suyi. She became even more curious about the mysterious Gu Changge.

 

Still, she would never ask any questions. She just dutifully did her things.

 

She had been practising the Entanglement Immortal Might that Gu Changge had taught her. It had to be said that the technique taught by Gu Changge was vastly different from the one given to her by Zi Susu. She could now increase her power more quickly.

 

What took an average person ten years or even 100 years to attain, she only needed several days to achieve the same result.

 

Such an incredible cultivation speed was bewitching.

 

Ye Suyi was not interested in pursuing greater power, but she still felt that what she was experiencing was incredible and fantastical.

 

Several months went by in the blink of an eye.

 

Many Forces in the Primary Hope Civilisation had hoped that an all-out war would break out between the Land of Celestial Suffering and the Beast Court, but it never happened.

 

Instead, the people from the Land of Celestial Suffering had been keeping a low profile. Many powerful cultivators had received the order to return to the Land of Celestial Suffering.

 

The King, Chu Gucheng, seemed to have noticed that a mysterious Force was secretly trying to destroy the Land of Celestial Suffering.

 

If they made even more enemies before the situation became clear, that would make the country fall apart.

 

He did not have a choice. Since he refused to make more enemies, he could only tell everyone to stay in the country to avoid coming into contact with others and establishing any karma ties.

 

The leaders of many Forces knew that they could not be as decisive and resilient as Chu Gucheng.

 

If they were in Chu Gucheng’s shoes, they could not have put up with the fact that their favourite child was killed.

 

There was a reason that he had attained so many achievements and built the successful the Land of Celestial Suffering.

 

Chu Gucheng’s enemies were disappointed, for the outcome they had expected to see did not happen. At the same time, they were curious about which Force had been trying to bring down Chu Gucheng.

 

After all, the enemy of their enemy was their friend. Considering their power, it would be unrealistic for them to retaliate against Chu Gucheng.

 

Naturally, Chu Gucheng had made many enemies along the way to reach where he was.

 

Many of his enemies were lurking in the dark. Even Chu Gucheng had no idea where they were.

 

This was what he was worried about. At this life-and-death period, he would not dare to let anyone leave Land of Celestial Suffering.

 

The fact that those from the Land of Celestial Suffering never flared up over the death of Chu Xiao made the conflict between the Beast Court and them subside a little. However, everyone knew that Chu Gucheng simply did not have a choice.

 

Blood was thicker than water. There was no way Chu Gucheng would not retaliate against the Beast Court for killing his Son.

 

After those from the Land of Celestial Suffering got through this crisis, they would surely launch an attack against the Beast Court.

 

Certainly, those from the Beast Court were not foolish. During this period, they had been trying to contact the other Forces in the Primary Hope Civilisation.

 

Many Beasts in the Endless Beasts Territory had received the news. They had a feeling that an epic war would break out between the Beast Court and the Land of Celestial Suffering in the near future.

 

Many Forces were gleeful about the situation in the Land of Celestial Suffering, but many ancient existences were worried that the calamity facing the Primary Hope Civilisation would start from the Land of Celestial Suffering.

 

During this period, Supreme Forces like the Imperial Celestial Palace, Towering Divine Cave, and Purple Sky Mountain had been trying to find out Gu Changge’s whereabouts.

 

After such a long time, what had happened in Purple Return City back then had spread to many Great Universes in the Primary Hope Civilisation.

 

Countless were speculating about Gu Changge’s identity.

 

Some Forces felt that his appearance at this point was too coincidental. The situation in the Primary Hope Civilisation was unclear, so they could not be at ease.

 

Even people like Zi Yunchuan and Zhao Tianfan, who had talked to Gu Changge that day, had no idea where he was.

 

The Thousand Treasures Secret Domain in Southbarren Ancient Territory opened up as expected, and many prodigies went over there to look for opportunities.

 

Zi Yunchuan and the others had set off as well. They speculated that Gu Changge was already there. Nevertheless, they could not find Gu Changge in the Thousand Treasures Secret Domain, which they felt was such a shame.

 

The Forces behind them told them to invite Gu Changge back to their Sects if they bumped into him.

 

Many Forces had formed speculation and made deductions regarding the incident in Purple Return City back then. They felt that it was not a coincidence.

 

The person behind the scenes might be the mysterious Gu Changge. Perhaps he was the one making things happen all this while.

 

Then, they also found out about the background of the performer. That was how they discovered a secret of Purple Sky Mountain. This shocked the forces that had been paying close attention to this matter.

 

It was unlikely that Gu Changge had made an arrangement in advance to get into a conflict with Chu Xiao over the performer.

 

After all, there was no association between the two matters at all. It was too coincidental that those incidents happened at the same time.

 

However, if Gu Changge had already known Chu Xiao’s identity, what was the reason that compelled him to confront Chu Xiao?

 

There were too many doubts that those Forces couldn’t figure out. They could only conclude that it was a coincidence. Perhaps they had been overthinking things.

 

The last possibility was that Gu Changge had contacted Di Kun of the Beast Court in advance. He was the one plotting against the Land of Celestial Suffering.

 

When the possibility was brought up, the powerful cultivators of those forces shook their heads with a smile, thinking that it was preposterous.

 

First of all, why did he plot against the Land of Celestial Suffering? Also, how did he find out Chu Xiao’s identity in advance? When did he even contact the Beast Court? They couldn’t explain all of these prerequisites.

 

Because of this matter, all sorts of speculation were formed in the Great Universes in the Primary Hope Civilisation.

 

Many cultivators felt that some Forces in the Primary Hope Civilisation had joined hands and used the Beast Court to plot against the Land of Celestial Suffering.

 

However, because Gu Changge’s appearance was too coincidental, those forces spread some news and speculation to blame it all on him. He became a scapegoat that attracted all the doubts.

 

Although such a move was despicable, it indeed seemed like something those forces would do.
