Chapter 209: The Perfect Plan; No Choice But to Take the Blame!
Hearing the conversation of old antiques and big shot’s group in the sky, many cultivators fell silent and a shiver ran down their spine.
The current Inheritor of Forbidden Demonic Arts appeared and was suspected of having the backing of a large organisation. He even blatantly infiltrated the banquet of the Immortal Gu Family and planned to kill the mysterious woman of the Immortal Wang family.
Many people still didn’t know Wang Zijin’s true identity.
But many people speculated that the Forbidden Demonic Arts’ Inheritor was trying to incite a conflict between Immortal Gu and Immortal Wang Family.
Because if something happens to Wang Zijin, then the Immortal Gu Family was bound to take the majority of the blame.
Of course, people with discerning eyes can see that the Immortal Gu Family cannot do such a thing.
“Judging from the aura of the Secret Technique, it contains the aura of Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain. Now, this is going to be problematic!”
“Could the Forbidden Demonic Arts’ inheritor be in the Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain?”
Many Young Supremes were shocked when they heard the conversation of the older generation’s group.
Among them, a very prestigious old antique said that the aura of Secret Technique in the battle resembled the aura from the Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain.
This terrified them even more and a chill ran through their spine.
In particular, the creatures of the Primordial Ten Thousand Races were appalled and in disbelief.
For them, the status of Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain simply went without saying, and when the Heavenly Emperor Mountain was mentioned, they usually had a look of reverence and did not dare to be disrespectful in the slightest.
But now, when they heard that Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain might be related to the Inheritors of Forbidden Demonic Arts, their brains started buzzing and almost exploded.
How was this possible?
The Emperor’s Mountain was above all, and was worshipped and looked up to by many clans. It was a force established by several emperors and was incomparably transcendent.
So, how could it be related to the Forbidden Demonic Arts’ Inheritor?
They dare not imagine!
“Could it be that Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain is the mastermind behind this…? This is too horrifying…”
A Young Supreme said with a gloomy expression.
Gu Changge, who had already taken the core of the puppet inside the Inner World under the eyes of these old antiques, flew down from the sky at this moment.
The expression on his face looks similar to many Young Supremes, gloomy and in deep thoughts.
Hearing this, he shook his head and said, “If this matter is related to Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain, then why did he use the Secret Technique of Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain during the battle? By doing this isn’t he just telling everyone that Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain is related to Forbidden Demonic Art’s Inheritor?”
“I don’t believe anyone would be so stupid.”
Speaking of this, Gu Changge sighed slightly, as if he was also confused.
“Brother Gu’s words are reasonable, and exactly what I suspected too.” Wang Wushuang, who had calmed down, said this while nodding slightly.
Ye Langtian and other Young Supreme on the side were not stupid either, they could obviously see this loophole as well.
Gu Changge took in everyone's expressions, and a strange glint flickered in his eyes.
The effect he wanted has been initially achieved.
He wanted to frame the Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain and put the black pot on it, but still not make it look very obvious so that he could make a better plan for the next step.
Regardless of whether they believe it or not, Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain has been dragged into this fishy mess for no reason today.
And this was what Gu Changge expected and planned for.
But… he wasn’t going to leave it at that.
Seeing that Gu Changge took the initiative to defend Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain, many creatures from the Primordial Ten Thousand Races looked at him with gratitude.
When they heard that the matter was related to Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain, they actually broke out in a cold sweat, worried that Gu Changge would unleash his wrath onto the Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain for no reason.
With his current power, although Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain was respected, its status was not to the point that it can quell Gu Changge's wrath.
After all, there were many terrifying forces behind Gu Changge. The Gu Family had a boundless heritage, not to mention the Primordial Divine Sect, the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace, and the Ancient Immortal Races.
Which one of these forces could be taken lightly?
Although the number of Primordial Ten Thousand Races was huge, before this matter was clearly investigated, Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain was the most obvious suspect.
Gu Changge, taking the initiative to help clear the suspicion of Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain, made them heave a sigh of relief.
As for Gu Changge being the perpetrator?
Unless there was something really wrong with their brains, no one would dare to imagine it.
At this time, many older generation powerhouses came from different directions, gathering in the vicinity.
when they heard him, they sighed and nodded, “What the Young Master Changge said is right. The aura similar to Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain’s Secret Technique is really too obvious.”
“Yeah, it seems that someone is deliberately framing Heavenly Emperor's Mountain, making us suspect them. No one is so stupid that they can’t see it?”
Another old antique who was tall, with a nonchalant face, and came from a major sect, spoke with grandeur.
He agreed with Gu Changge’s opinion and felt that this matter was most likely someone framing the Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain.
Soon, this statement was recognized by almost all the people here. After all, this kind of loophole was too obvious.
It was impossible for Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain to be so stupid to leave such traces.
Seeing that everyone was talking about the need to find the True Inheritor of Forbidden Demonic Arts and give justice to the Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain, Gu Changge’s expression couldn’t help but become a little playful.
But that look soon disappeared and his expression returned to normal.
But was his plan that simple?
Soon, Gu Changge frowned slightly, and he took the initiative to ask Wang Zijin.
There seems to be some inexplicable meaning in his deep eyes, “I wonder what Miss Zijin thinks about this matter?”
Hearing this, the place suddenly became quiet.
Including the clansmen of the Immortal Gu family, and the guests from the Daoist forces, and they could not help but look over.
Gu Changge’s words now carried a lot of weight and many people wanted to hear his opinion.
Wang Wushuang, Ye Langtian, and the Young Supreme of the Great Golden-Winged Peng Clan all had different expressions, ready to hear what Gu Changge had to say.
“Why did Young Master Changge ask this woman’s opinion? Is there anything special about this woman’s identity?”
Some people still didn’t know Wang Zijin’s identity, so they couldn't help asking curiously.
To be able to persist against the Great Sacred Realm Assassin for so long was a terrifying ability, even more for someone still this young.
This caused many people's hearts to palpitate and they couldn't help but admire her.
“Be quiet.”
“Saintess Zijin is not someone whom you can freely talk about!” When some old antiques heard this, they immediately scolded others and showed respect to Wang Zijin.
If she wasn’t the descendant of the Human Ancestral Hall, how could she have been assassinated by the Inheritor of Forbidden Demonic Arts for no reason? Ordinary Young Supreme would have been crushed to death in the first place!
Hiss!
Hearing this, everyone understood now, their eyes widened, and they gasped.
No wonder she was so close to Gu Changge.
It turned out that this mysterious woman from the Immortal Wang Family was actually a descendant of the Human Ancestral Hall, which made them astonished and flabbergasted.
At this moment, Wang Zijin didn’t care what the cultivators next to her thought about her.
She glanced at Gu Changge.
Seeing his expression, she felt that although he didn’t say anything, he was thinking the same thing as her, so she couldn’t help but smile and said, “Actually, my opinion is similar to that of Brother Gu, and now everyone is subconsciously thinking that Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain is being framed and has nothing to do with the inferior of the forbidden Demonic Arts.”
“But in my opinion, that’s the most problematic thing.”
“After all, everyone will rule out Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain as a suspect first, and instead start to find another suspect… But what if the real perpetrator is missed due to that? Wouldn’t this be exactly what he wanted?”
Her words were light and gentle.
But it was like hundreds of thousands of mountains, crashing at everyone’s heart.
Buzz!
Especially the group of old antiquities, their faces were horrified, as if layers of fog had been uncovered and they were instantly awakened.
They found that… what they had thought and what Wang Zijin said were actually not much different!
That is to say, they have already taken the initiative to rule out the Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain as a suspect, thinking that it cannot be related to the Inheritor of Forbidden Demonic Art.
After all, for such an obvious lingering aura, other than being framed, what other explanation can there be?.
But what if… this was actually intentional!
Thinking of this, many people felt chills all over their body. If Wang Zijin hadn’t pointed this out, they would’ve started in the wrong direction.
“As expected of the Saintess of the Human Ancestral Hall! She is exceptionally smart, and she figured out the key in an instant, which makes the old man admire you endlessly.”
An old cultivator agreed with this statement, and it was more convincing than at the beginning.
“No matter what we say it is all in theory and although we are suspicious, there is no evidence to prove that it is related to Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain. Anyway, if this plan was really arranged by Heavenly Emperor's Mountain, then it is really frightening, and I was almost fooled by it.”
“Thanks to Saintess Zijin, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to figure it out.”
For a time, everyone began to compliment Wang Zijin, and their words were full of admiration and praise.
At a young age, her cultivation was unfathomable, and she was also close to Gu Changge, her future prospects were simply limitless!
The younger generation also nodded, with different expressions.
When they heard Wang Zijin’s words they couldn’t help but admire her, her perspective of things was very different, helping her analyse the crucial point, something they couldn’t do.
On the other hand, many creatures of the Primordial Ten Thousand Races turned pale after hearing this, unable to accept it.
“Brother Gu’s opinion should be similar to mine, right?” Wang Zijin smiled and asked Gu Changge.
Gu Changge nodded, with a hint of admiration, and said, “Yes, I didn't expect that Miss Zijin's thoughts would coincide with mine, even though I was almost fooled at first, no matter what, Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain is still the most suspicious.”
Hearing what he said, Wang Zijin seemed to smile even more deeply.
At these words, all the cultivators were silent, feeling an even greater gloom, coming over their heads.
If the Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain was involved, the days were about to change!
“But now the descendants of the Human Ancestral Hall have left seclusion and we have Young Master Changge with the talent of the True Immortal on our side. So it is not hopeless…”
“Forbidden Demonic Art’s Inheritors are ravaging the world, it's time to find a way to track down their location and eliminate them all in one fell swoop.”
Everyone’s minds were coincidentally thinking the same, the younger generation had Young Master Changge, so they see hope in fighting against the Inheritors of Forbidden Demonic Arts.
Watching everyone, Gu Changge’s expression was natural and no one knew that he was laughing in his heart right now.
‘Tonight’s goal has finally been achieved.’
‘This black pot has finally reached the Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain.’
Even if Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain didn’t want to, they had to bear and accept it.
Humiliating them to death.
They would have never imagined that they were calculated by Gu Changge until the day they die.
[Ding! The Host has damaged the reputation of the Favoured Son of Heavens and has obtained 3,000 Fortune Value and 15,000 destiny points.]
At this time, Gu Changge also heard the message prompt from the system.
He couldn’t help but smile in his heart.
It seems that there was no problem with his plan. Even the flapping of a butterfly's wings can cause a storm on the other side of the ocean, not to mention his actions. 1 It is a reference to the butterfly effect.
Although it seems to be very small, the sensation it caused in the entire Upper Realm was absolutely huge.
This little horse feeder was going to walk toward his death, controlled in the palm of Gu Changge.
And soon, what happened at Immortal Gu’s house tonight spread out immediately, causing a great sensation.
All the guests witnessed the scene with their own eyes, and they have nothing to say about the news, proving its authenticity.
For a time, the whole Upper Realm was in turmoil.
The reappearance of the Inheritor of Forbidden Demonic arts caused everyone to tremble.
Especially this time, they were even more daring. He even wanted to assassinate the descendant of the Human ancestral hall. Fortunately, he was stopped by the powerhouses of the Gu family. Otherwise, the consequences would be unfathomable.
2 Mohking: He was stopped by ‘Mitochondria’ of the Gu family.
This matter triggered the fear and attention of the major forces and Daoist Sects, and Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain was the first to bear the brunt of it, being instantly pushed into the limelight.
In any case, the sensation caused by this matter was too horrendous and terrifying.
That day the scene of a Great Sacred Realm assassinating the descendant of the Human Ancestral Hall spread out, and the aura of the Secret Technique of the Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain couldn’t be mistaken
For a time, various opinions were circulated all over the Upper Realm.
Whether it was the human race or the creatures of the other races, they were all cautious and afraid of this matter.
After tens of millions of years, the Inheritor of Forbidden Demonic Arts had reappeared in the world and was more terrifying and hidden than any previous Inheritor of Forbidden Demonic Arts.
And just when all the major powers were shaken up.
Another news story broke out!
Emperor Ying’s heir, the Heavenly Prince, Ying Shuang came out of seclusion!
As soon as this news came out, it immediately triggered a terrifying wave, and the sensation it caused was tremendous.
After investigation, people found out that the day it was announced that Heavenly Prince Ying Shuang would come out of seclusion was the same day on which Mother Gu held the birthday banquet. It was also the same day on which the descendant of Human Ancestral Hall was almost killed.
This timing was incredibly coincidental.
This shocked many Daoist Sects, and many people even felt anger in their hearts.
‘This is too coincidental, right?’
In the eyes of people, this was the provocation of Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain to many Daoist Sects!
Simply Brazen and reckless!
Especially the White Tiger Clan, they were simply mad with hatred.
After all, their heir died in the hands of the Forbidden Demonic Arts’ Inheritor and even his origin was devoured.
Although they also belong to Primordial Ten Thousand Races and should respect the Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain but… the news about the connection between the Forbidden Demonic Arts’ Inheritor and Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain made them furious, wishing to go seek justice in person.
Their patriarch, with anger and red eyes, roared up to the sky, unable to vent his anger.
“Damn, I didn’t expect that my son’s death would be related to the Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain, which we deeply respected.”
Many clan elders on the side hurriedly stopped him and said, “The patriarch is not allowed to do this, how could you be so reckless? We must seek justice for the death of the Young Master, but there’s no evidence against the Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain. It’s all just speculation in the end!”
They didn’t want to cause trouble for the White Tiger Clan for no reason.
The heritage of the White Tiger Clan was not comparable to that of the Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain. There have been many emperors who have been in charge of it. Who knows how many were still left?
They hate it too!
However, Heavenly Emperor's Mountain has stood high for many years, so they naturally had many supporters. Many clans thought that Heavenly Emperor's Mountain was just being framed by others.
Emperor Mountain is high, transcendent, and respected by all races, why would they need to do such a self-deprecating thing?
This was a deliberate frame-up by the Young Master of the Immortal Gu Family and the descendants of the Human Ancestral Hall!
In short, there were all kinds of opinions and accusations.
[At the same time, inside the Great Hall, Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain]
“What’s going on? Could it be that Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain is really related to the Inheritor of the Forbidden Demonic Arts?”
“Damn, I don’t have any memories at all. Is it true? Or is someone deliberately framing me?”
An incomparably luxurious and lofty phoenix boat with flickering runes was racing through the middle of the sky.
Inside the pavilion, sitting cross-legged, dressed in exquisite and luxurious clothes, and surrounded by the immortal aura, Ying Shuang’s face was full of shock and disbelief.
He frowned, as he heard the news from the outside world.
Against the opposition of the entire Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain, he planned to roam the world, but he did not expect that what greeted him was not the respect and awe of the people, but all kinds of abuse and anger.
At this moment, Ying Shuang was stunned, and his expression became extremely ugly.
He was now the Emperor’s heir with high status, who in this world dares to despise and underestimate him?
No matter where he went, he would surely be revered and respected by cultivators and other creatures alike.
With the identity of being the Heavenly Prince, was there anyone above him?
However, once the name of the Inheritor of the Forbidden Demonic Arts was mentioned, let alone the heir of Emperor Ying, even if Emperor Ying himself appeared, it’d be useless.
This made Ying Shuang angry, unwilling, and even fearful.
After all, he was not the real heir of Emperor Ying! He was just an imposter, wearing this body, with little memory.
At that time, if someone really doubts him and wants to do something to him, what should he do?
Ying Shuang was panicking, and his palms were covered in a cold sweat.
This required even more skill than just pretending to be the heir of the emperor.
The Inheritor of Forbidden Demonic Arts was the greatest enemy recognized by all the Daoist Sects and Immortal Clans in the world since the Immortal Period!
He has lost the confidence he had in the beginning, his heart was uneasy, and his back was covered in a cold sweat.
He even felt a little regretful and unwilling. Who knew that after becoming the Emperor’s heir, rather than enjoying it, he would take the blame for the Emperor’s heir?
It would have been easier to feed the horses, at least he didn’t have to be worried about his life at all times!
At this time, Ying Shuang even began to resent the unknown existence who replaced him and the Emperor’s heir in the dark.
“Oh god, if you wanted me to enjoy all this, then why do I have to bear all this?”
Ying Shuang’s voice trembled slightly, and he understood that there was no point in complaining.
Soon, he calmed down and began to talk to himself, “Right now, I can’t panic, let alone show weakness, otherwise, the wrath of all people will be vented into the Heavenly Emperor's Mountain.”
“Whether I am a Forbidden Demonic Arts’ Inheritor or not, I can’t admit it at all, I have to find a way to clear the suspicion…”
Various thoughts flashed through his mind.
But in the end, there was no way he could prove his innocence… unless he found the true Inheritor of Forbidden Demonic Arts.
“All of this is because I was framed by that Gu Changge and the descendants of the Human Ancestral Hall…f*****g bastards” Ying Shuang has already formed a grudge against these two people, waiting for the identity of the Inheritors of the Forbidden Demonic Arts to be cleared. After that, he will definitely settle the account with them.
“Brother, are the rumours true?”
At this moment, the soft voice of a girl suddenly came from outside Ying Shuang’s door.
A tall girl with shoulder-length silver hair and a beautiful face, dressed in Immortal clothes, was standing there, asked with a frown on her face.
3Mohking: Just thinking of the amount of time I have to write Immortal in the Immortal Realm is making me shudder.
It was Ying Shuang’s sister, Ying Yu.
During this period of time, she did not know how many waves of cultivators and creatures who came to attack them had been killed.
Because of her brother’s high profile, their whereabouts have been noticed by many forces, and these forces had more or less irreconcilable grudges with the Forbidden Demon Arts’ Inheritors.
As a result, they all came one by one, intending to take revenge!
This made Ying Yu feel very troubled.
Now she was very confused, she felt that this kind of stupid thing was not something the brother she knows can do.
As for being the Inheritor of Forbidden Demonic Arts? Since her brother broke the seal, he has been practising in the palace all these years, not even taking a step outside.
The Inheritor of Forbidden Demonic power was her brother?
How could this be possible?
“What do you think?”
Hearing this, Ying Shuang, who was across the door, panicked in his heart, but he deliberately kept calm and asked.
Ying Yu stood outside the pavilion and did not go in.
Since some time ago, she felt that Ying Shuang’s behaviour has been a little strange, and he asked her about many things he already knew.
She couldn’t tell what was going on, but it was definitely strange.
However, she only thought that recently Ying Shuang's cultivation had hit a bottleneck and his temperament had slightly changed due to it.
“It’s fine if brother doesn't say anything, but this matter has to be resolved sooner or later.” Ying Yu said softly and left.
She pondered in her mind, feeling that it was unrealistic to clear the suspicion of being the Inheritor of Forbidden Demonic Arts and that it was impossible for her to fight against all the major Daoist forces.
How vast and boundless was the Upper World?
Who knows how many powerhouses and masters were hidden in it, although the status of the Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain was transcendent, no matter how confident she was, it was impossible to be the enemy of everyone.
“So the best way is to block it rather than stopping it. The rumours were spread from the Immortal Gu Family that night. Gu Changge and the descendant of the Human Ancestral Hall…” Ying Yu said to herself, thinking of two very important people.
She also did not think that there was a problem with the two's claims… but the key thing was that Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain was really framed, and the Forbidden Demonic Arts’ Inheritor was incomparably subtle in staging the suspicion.
“It seems that I have to meet Gu Changge. I'm afraid the only way to clear the suspicion is to get him to act. In today's younger generation, only he is powerful enough to turn this situation around instantly.”
Soon, Ying Yu thought of a solution. She had to tell Gu Changge that he had misunderstood.
“Thanks to the amazing means of this sister of mine, otherwise I wouldn't really know what to do at this time.”
Inside the pavilion, Ying Shuang could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when he felt his sister leave. In addition, the clans around him were also powerful people with powerful means.
Otherwise, he really wouldn’t know what to do!
“Gu Changge, the descendant of Human Ancestral Hall…” Soon, there was deep hatred and anger in his eyes, and a strong resentment and jealousy rose for Gu Changge, who had been dazzling and bigger than him from birth.
‘How dare he put me in such a dangerous situation with just a few words!’
4Kshn: He is Courting Death!
