He quickly cast his eyes towards Fang Shuquan for help like an arrow, his eyes full of desire, as if he was grabbing the last straw, fully expecting to get help.
Fang Shuquan looked at him, his brows knitted into a knot, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, as if he was thinking about the reason for this sudden change.
Then, he looked at Gu Taichu respectfully, bowed, and asked with just the right amount of respect in his voice, "Gu Di, why is this happening?"
Yun Zhongzi and others also looked confused. You know, Gu Taichu has always trusted Zhang Xingmao very much. Why would he suddenly have such a strong murderous intent towards him?
Gu Taichu's eyes were as cold as ice, like an iceberg that had not melted for ten thousand years, emitting a bone-chilling chill. He gently sucked with one hand, and an invisible force instantly locked Zhang Xingmao's head, as if the head was being firmly grasped by an invisible giant hand.
"Gu Di, Gu Di, please spare me, I won't dare to say anything nonsense again! Please, Gu Di, let me go! I beg you!" Zhang Xingmao was drenched in cold sweat and trembling violently. He kept begging for mercy, his voice full of fear and despair.
However, Gu Taichu's heart was as hard as stone, his eyes showed no mercy, and he exerted force with his hands. In an instant, Zhang Xingmao let out a miserable cry: "Ah... Ah..."
His spiritual power surged out like a flood that burst its dam, quickly drying up. In an instant, his entire body turned into a pile of dry bones, dissipating with the wind, as if he had never existed.
Fang Shuquan, who had been wanting to plead for Zhang Xingmao, hurried forward and asked cautiously, "Gu Di, what exactly did Zhang Xingmao do wrong?"
Gu Taichu cast his gaze towards Fang Fangshuquan, who was instantly enveloped by Taichu's divine light. That divine light seemed to carry an all-seeing, supreme power, frightening him so much that he tumbled to his knees, cold sweat pouring down his forehead, his heart filled with fear.
After the Primordial Divine Light swept over him, Gu Taichu slowly retracted it and said coldly, "Get up!"
"Yes, Gu Di!" Fang Shuquan quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and stood up hurriedly, still feeling frightened, as if he had just walked through the gates of hell.
At this time, Gu Taichu slowly turned over his right hand, and a black gas swirled in his palm, like a black snake ready to attack, emitting a creepy and strange aura.
"This... this is the power of the abyss!" Commander Fang looked at the black air, his voice trembling, his eyes full of shock.
"Now you understand why I killed him?" Gu Taichu's face was as cold as an ice sculpture in winter, and his tone was chilling, as if it could freeze everything.
"Yes, I understand!" Fang Shuquan quickly responded with a fist salute, knowing full well that the matter was serious.
"I'm afraid this ancient world is about to fall into turmoil!" Gu Taichu had a murderous look on his face, and he suddenly crushed the black air in his hand, as if he wanted to crush all potential threats.
"Then how should we deal with this?" Fang Shuquan lost his usual composure and asked anxiously, his eyes filled with worry.
"I expect they will come to kill me soon. I don't have much time left!"
"Whatever instructions Gu Di has, I will do my best to carry them out!" Fang Shuquan was respectful and spoke in a firm tone, as if he was ready to face any challenges.
"What I can't obtain, no one else can!" Gu Taichu's murderous intent surged like a surging wave, instantly roiling the entire Heavenly Court. He glanced coldly at Yun Zhongzi and the others.
"Uncle Master! No... Gu Di, if you have any arrangements, just tell me!" Yun Zhongzi hurried forward, cold sweat on his forehead and a nervous look on his face.
"Take them with you to pass on this decree, summoning all cultivators above the Heavenly Venerable Realm in the prehistoric world to come to the Heavenly Court to meet this cultivator within three days!"
"Yes!" Yun Zhongzi accepted the order respectfully.
Just as he was about to stand up, Gu Taichu spoke again coldly, each word as resounding as ice: "If anyone disobeys, all the forces they belong to will be wiped out, both body and soul!"
Everyone trembled upon hearing this, their hearts filled with anger but unable to voice it out. After a long pause, Yun Zhongzi hurriedly responded, "Yes!"
"What are you still standing there for?" Fang Shuquan's face turned cold and he shouted loudly.
The roar was like thunder that shook the heavens and earth, shaking everyone's souls and frightening them so much that they retreated in a hurry.
Watching everyone hurriedly leaving, Fang Shuquan hurriedly asked, "Gu Di, should we go to the underworld?"
"Don't be in a hurry, let's talk about it in three days. If we go now, we won't gain any advantage, and they won't be easily trapped by us again. Duobao and Houtu are enough to restrain you, and I can hardly withstand the siege of Tongtian and others!" Gu Taichu looked stern, his eyes were like torches, and his analysis was clear and organized.
Fang Shuquan suddenly understood and asked hurriedly, "So Gu Di intends to use these cultivators above the Heavenly Venerable Realm to further enhance his strength?"
"That's right! No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat. Even if their strength is meager, they have the advantage of being numerous! Together with the traitor just now and the Chaos Donkey, they are enough for me to break through to the peak of the Saint Emperor!" Gu Taichu said coldly, his tone revealing unquestionable domineering, as if everything was under his control.
"Then I will go and bring the donkey here right away!" Fang Shuquan bowed and then strode out.
…
The ancient world, the underworld.
"What on earth is this Gu Taichu trying to do? Now the entire prehistoric world has been turned upside down by him. In the past three days, countless forces have been slaughtered by Yun Zhongzi and others, and the blood has flowed like a river!" Duobao and Houtu sat side by side above the hall. He had a stern face and a look of compassion, like a benevolent monk, heartbroken by the suffering of all living beings.
Nuwa said worriedly, "Most of those invited were persuaded by Yun Zhongzi and his men. Only a few resisted. But even so, such a terrible disaster still occurred!"
"Yes, now not only the ancient fairyland has been devastated, but even the old masters hiding in the stars have been found out. Anyone who dares to resist will be massacred!" The Jade Emperor said in a serious tone, his eyes full of worry.
"But once we make a move, we will be locked onto by Fang Shuquan. He is now staring at our underworld!" Zhenyuan Dasheng tried to get up and go out several times, but was locked onto by Fang Shuquan's aura every time. He felt quite helpless.
Duobao looked at Tongtian, his face full of confusion, and asked, "Master, what on earth is wrong with Hongjun? Why would Gu Taichu mess with Honghuang so recklessly?"
"I don't know either, but when I sent him a message today, he just told me to be careful!" Tongtian frowned, looking worried, obviously confused by Hongjun's attitude.
"What does that mean? Doesn't he care about Honghuang anymore?" Zhu Rong couldn't help but yell, his voice filled with dissatisfaction and confusion.
Tongtian glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "He should not be in Honghuang anymore!"
"What? Did he run away?" Duobao was furious, his face full of anger and confusion.
Hou Tu looked at Tong Tian and asked, "How can you be sure that he is no longer in the prehistoric world?"
"From the time I sent him the message to the time I received his reply, and later when I asked him again if he had found Yuanshi and the others, he only replied with a single word: 'No'..."
"Then where did he go?" Zhu Jiuyin asked anxiously, his eyes full of worry.
Tongtian shook his head helplessly.
"Why did Hongjun leave at this critical moment, and where did he go?" Zhu Jiuyin fell into deep thought, frowning, trying to figure out some clues.
