All the Elders and Disciples could see the changes happening at the Imperial Celestial Palace as of late.

 

Just like everyone else, the Disciples who were unaware of the truth were worried that the situation would descend into chaos. They were afraid there would be a drastic change.

 

The truly ancient beings of the Imperial Celestial Palace, who mostly spent their time cultivating in the depths of Spacetime, secretly returned during this period. They went into hiding upon receiving Ling Qiuchang’s order.

 

In the depths of the Imperial Celestial Palace, ancient bronze palaces were opened up as a great beamed erupted from them.

 

Many multidimensional tunnels traversing through Space appeared as people stepped out. Their faces were blurry and they were surrounded by Grand Daos.

 

An ancient Force like the Imperial Celestial Palace had an unimaginable power and foundation, which had been accumulated over countless years.

 

The Ancient Seniors who had been in seclusion in those palaces had inscrutable might. Only when something major happened at the Imperial Celestial Palace would they get out of their secluded cultivation.

 

Even the current Palace Master, Ling Qiuchang, was a Junior to some of them.

 

But it did not mean that he was weaker than them.

 

“We’re truly blessed by Heaven if the Founder is indeed about to return.” These Ancient Seniors had learned from Ling Qiuchang about what was going on, so they were thrilled.

 

Some of them were living fossils who were already aware of Ling Yuxian’s identity. Nevertheless, they never showed up. They were still hiding in the dark.

 

Now, they were ready to save the Founder.

 

“It seems that they’re ready to make a move at any moment.” Presently, Gu Changge stood atop a peak and watched what was going on at the Imperial Celestial Palace.

 

Elder Xian Yun stood silently behind him while feeling anxious. Her slightly loose grey dress was not tied up with any band. As the breeze whisked through her, her clothes stuck close to her alluring and curvy figure.

 

She did not know why Gu Changge summoned her all of a sudden.

 

Gu Changge did not mind Elder Xian Yun’s silence. He shook his head and said, “It seems that the Palace Master is vigilant against me. I’m sure he has told all the Elders about where the Founder is trapped.”

 

Upon hearing the question, Elder Xian Yun was hesitant before nodding. “Yes.”

 

Gu Changge turned around and looked at her. “Where is it?”

 

After a moment of silence, Elder Xian Yun said, “It’s in the West State of Magnificent Sun Ancient Territory.”

 

“It’s indeed that place.” Gu Changge smiled. “Alright, you may leave now. I’m aware of the questions that Ling Yuxian asked you. You don’t have to worry about anything. You did a great job. I’m not a terrible person. As long as you’re obedient, I won’t harm you.”

 

Upon hearing that, Elder Xian Yun felt strange deep within. She could not help but shudder.

 

Although she had been a cultivator for many epochs, she was still overcome with a sense of indescribable fear.

 

She wondered if the young man before her eyes, who was as graceful as an Immortal, was a Human or a Demon inside.

 

After Elder Xian Yun was gone, Gu Changge remained in the same spot and fell into his deep thought. Then, he used his divine sense to send the White Bone Ancestor King and the others an order despite the long distance.

 

He already knew that the Jing Kingdom was located in the West State of Magnificent Sun Ancient Territory. It was the Family behind Jing Xiao.

 

It seemed that he had to go to that place.

 

He had a feeling that there was a lot of karmic ties related to him in Magnificent Sun Ancient Territory.

 

There might even be a chess piece he had inadvertently left behind back then.

 

Too much karma had been caused. It was to the point where Gu Changge was not certain about which matter it was related to.

 

At the thought of this, he decided to look for Jing Xiao.

 

People like Elder Xian Yun and Elder Jiu Lin already received the order and mobilised their most powerful Disciples. They were now with the Elders.

 

When Jing Xiao learned from Elder Jiu Lin that the Founder was trapped in Magnificent Sun Ancient Territory, she found it inconceivable.

 

That was because she came from Magnificent Sun Ancient Territory, and the Jing Kingdom behind her was located in a place named the West State.

 

The matter was too coincidental.

 

While she was perplexed, Ling Yuxian, whom she had not talked to for a long time, came to look for her on her own.

 

Both of them were silent in the hall. When Jing Xiao came, Ling Yuxian’s back was against her as she looked out the hall.

 

Jing Xiao was conflicted deep within when facing this woman who used to be her good friend in her childhood years.

 

However, when she recalled how her Older Brother had been dejected over the years, her conflicted feelings were soon replaced by hostility and iciness.

 

“What is it?” She spoke in an impassive voice.

 

Upon hearing that, Ling Yuxian turned around. She donned a dispassionate expression. It did not seem like she was meeting an old friend or trying to explain anything. She said, “You’re in a terrible situation. I’ve come to see you to give you a heads-up so that you won’t fall into danger without knowing it.”

 

She initially intended to sound more gentle, but she was hurt by Jing Xiao’s icy gaze.

 

The two of them could no longer be friends again. It would be pointless even if she explained to Jing Xiao what had happened back then. It was not like all the resentment could be resolved even if she told her it was merely a misunderstanding.

 

Jing Xiao furrowed her brows upon hearing that, not knowing what Ling Yuxian was trying to say. [Why did she say that I’m in a perilous situation?]

 

“You’d better stay away from that Eldest Senior Brother from the Xian Yun Practice Grounds. He’s not as good or as simple as you’ve imagined him to be.” Ling Yuxian said with conflicting gaze.

 

[So, it’s about Senior Brother Gu?] Jing Xiao was startled for a moment before coming to her senses. Her doubt was soon replaced with iciness.

 

“I don’t know why you’re even telling me this. Are you trying to sow discord between Senior Brother Gu and me?” She sneered.

 

She was initially puzzled as to why Ling Yuxian suddenly came to look for her and told her that she was in a terrible situation. She did not expect it to have something to do with Gu Changge.

 

Ling Yuxian had already summoned Gu Changge once through the Palace Master because she was curious about his identity and background.

 

Jing Xiao did not know why she was in a terrible situation, nor did she understand why Ling Yuxian told her to stay away from Gu Changge.

 

However, she still suppressed her fury deep within. She was fully aware of Ling Yuxian’s temperament. Ling Yuxian would not have said such a thing if there was not a valid reason.

 

“I’m just giving you a warning out of kindness. The Jing Kingdom behind you is closely related to the Imperial Celestial Palace. Although your Parents have never told you about it before, you’ll find out sooner or later. The Senior Brother Gu you’ve mentioned only approaches you because of your background. Do you seriously think he’s into you?” Ling Yuxian stared fixedly at Jing Xiao and had no qualms about saying such cruel words.
