Chapter 1682. Who still cares about your life or death? Escape from this hell

Swish!

The gunshot was cold and sharp, like it was slicing through the vast universe, fierce and overpowering.

The cold, blood-red bloodstains trickled down the gun, dripping into the void, accompanied by a strange fragrance.

Ling Yuling’s delicate body trembled as the blood-sized hole, the size of a fist, pierced through her abdomen. The cold, pitch-black spear pierced through, lifting her high.

Her face turned pale, her gaze dim, her long hair swirling in the air, looking like a flower on the verge of wilting.

The continuous flow of blood stained her broken battle armor and the dress beneath, making her appear extraordinarily sorrowful.

“Senior…”

“Ancestor…”

This horrifying scene caused everyone to change their expressions drastically. The people from the Yuxian Palace trembled in shock. Many elders and patriarchs rushed forward, ignoring their own safety, trying to save Ling Yuling.

“Sister…” Ling Yuxian’s heart tightened, her jade-like hand clenched, her eyes filled with anxiety and urgency.

The Xiyuan Saintess, who was supported by Xiyin, was also shocked and was about to disregard her own injuries to summon the Reincarnation Mirror again for another attack.

She hadn’t expected Ling Yuling to act so decisively, even knowing she was no match for the opponent, taking on a heroic, sacrificial posture.

The various patriarchs and leaders were even more filled with fear, shivering all over. Could it be that today, even the Yuxian Palace’s ancestors would perish in Gu Changge’s hands?

If Ling Yuling dies, can they still resist?

Changming Daojun, Shang Chongming, and other ancient beings’ expressions changed again. They had refrained from taking action, weighing the pros and cons. If Ling Yuling were to fall here, they would have no reason to support the various sects and clans.

Boom!

A terrifying shockwave, as powerful as a thunderous tsunami, came crashing in. Gu Changge casually shook his sleeve, and the elders and patriarchs from Yuxian Palace who were charging forward were thrown backward as if they had been hit by a terrifying magical mountain.

“Pfft…”

Elder Jiulin was flung out and fell onto a broken cliff. Though he wasn’t injured, he was covered in dust, looking quite embarrassed. He was one of the few elders from Yuxian Palace who had encountered Gu Changge before. He had always thought of Gu Changge as a gentle, peaceful person who wouldn’t engage in conflict. It was hard for him to accept that Gu Changge had killed the ancestor, Ling Yuling.

“Xianyun Elder…”

“No!”

Elder Jiulin, who was getting up from the cliff, rushed forward and saw a figure ahead, summoning a weapon, surrounded by the boiling essence of the Dao. The expression on the figure’s face was filled with anger and determination, charging straight at Gu Changge. It was Xianyun Elder from Xianyun Dao Field.

He couldn’t help but shout, rushing to stop Xianyun Elder from doing something reckless.

Though Xianyun Elder was also a Dao realm expert, she was far from the level of Ancestor Dao, and even those at that level were no match for Gu Changge. How could she possibly harm him?

Moreover, if she tried to attack him, it was likely that she would be slaughtered in return.

Now that Yuxian Palace had stood against Gu Changge, he had no reason to spare them, even for past friendships.”Elder Jiulin, don’t stop me. I must save my ancestors…”

“He is untrustworthy…”

“He clearly promised me…”

“None of this is the ancestor’s fault. He knew all of this…”

Xianyun Elder was filled with grief and anger, her face drenched with tears. She felt incredibly guilty and regretful.

Elder Jiulin was stunned. He was utterly confused by Xianyun Elder’s words, not understanding what she meant. What does she mean by “this is not the ancestor’s fault”?

What was she referring to? What did Gu Changge promise her? Was it something that Gu Changge had promised when he stayed at the Xianyun Dao Field?

However, there was no time to ask these questions. Xianyun Elder was emotionally unstable, and he had to stop her from doing something foolish. Attacking Gu Changge now would be like striking a rock with an egg, leading to her destruction.

“Cough… Cough…”

Ling Yuling’s face was drenched in blood, and she barely managed to open her eyes. She looked at Gu Changge, whose expression was still indifferent and emotionless. She weakly coughed up blood but didn’t struggle. She could feel her life force rapidly draining away, a sense of weakness and coldness enveloping her. The shadow of death loomed over her like never before.

Yet, she still didn’t choose to struggle. It seemed she was calmly waiting for death to arrive. The situation today was something she had brought upon herself. Everything that had happened was a result of her own actions. And the outcome she faced was well-deserved; it was something she should bear.

“Knowing you are no match for me, yet still choosing to strike at me—should I say you are foolish, or simply unaware of the consequences?” Gu Changge’s gaze remained indifferent, as if there had never been any emotional disturbance.

“I’m sorry…” Ling Yuling’s gaze grew even dimmer. As she spoke, blood seeped from the corners of her mouth. Her injuries were grave, and the previous wound inflicted by Gu Changge had already heavily damaged her life.

“If you wish to die for a cause, then I can only say that you are foolish and naïve.” Gu Changge’s cold gaze swept across the many sects and groups that were watching in fear, their faces filled with alarm and anxiety. Then he turned back to look at Ling Yuling and said, “Do you think these people will come to save you? Will they help you?”

Ling Yuling’s gaze darkened even more. She knew the answer well.

Apart from those from Yuxian Palace, no one would care about her life or death. In fact, many would wish for her and Gu Changge to perish together here. Her existence threatened the positions of the other sects, and it could affect the situation of the Xiyuan Civilization in the future.

But this was her own choice, and she would not blame anyone.

“Pure good people are meaningless. The principles you believe in have long been trampled upon, leaving not even the dust behind.” Gu Changge’s tone was as flat as ever. “Besides me, who would care about your life or death?”

He lightly flicked his palm, and the long spear in his hand instantly shattered into countless powdery blue smoke, losing all its support. Ling Yuling’s body immediately fell to the ground. She hadn’t expected that, in the end, Gu Changge wouldn’t kill her. Her gaze was filled with complexity and struggle as she tried to stand up.

However, the blood-sized hole in her abdomen was still shockingly visible. The surrounding air was filled with a terrifying sense of destruction, and it was impossible for her to recover anytime soon.

With such injuries, she had basically lost all combat ability and could no longer strike at Gu Changge.

Gu Changge’s indifferent gaze swept over Ling Yuling once again. With a flick of his slender fingers, two black rays shot towards Ling Yuling. One of them spiraled around her ankle, transforming into heavy, pitch-black shackles.

The other black ray landed on her snowy neck, turning into a dark collar, with a strange, deep glow flickering and spreading.

“This…?”

Ling Yuling was momentarily stunned, feeling her cultivation and power rapidly fading away. She couldn’t even sense her five senses anymore. All of her spiritual consciousness and perception disappeared. In that moment, she felt like an ordinary person, helpless and powerless.After a brief moment of hesitation, she quickly realized and said nothing more. Gu Changge had already shown great mercy by not killing her. Limiting her cultivation and freedom was understandable and justifiable.

Seeing that Gu Changge had not struck the fatal blow to Ling Yuling, many people from Yuxian Palace let out a sigh of relief. However, the people from various sects and forces had grim expressions. Just because Gu Changge spared Ling Yuling’s life did not mean he would spare them.

They didn’t have the luck or strength that Ling Yuling possessed, nor could they match her abilities.

In their view, the reason Gu Changge spared Ling Yuling was because she had significant value to him. The current Faten Alliance needed such a person.

“Rather than waiting for death, we should fight with all our might. He won’t let us go easily.”

“At this point, do you still have illusions about other possibilities?”

“We must unite and open a path for ourselves, or we will all die here.”

Several sect leaders’ faces fluctuated with indecision, but after exchanging determined glances, they resolved to act. They knew that if they delayed any longer, everyone would be doomed. Their only option now was to join forces and break open a passage to the outside world.

Although Gu Changge’s power was terrifying, it wouldn’t be easy for him to eliminate them quickly.

After a brief discussion, they ordered the forces behind them to delay time for them, while they would work together to break the seal and create a way out for everyone. At the same time, they began sending messages to the Xiyuan Saintess and Xiyin, hoping to use the power of the Reincarnation Mirror to open a path. How many of them could escape would depend on fate.

“Kill!”

The next moment, many powerful figures from these forces, without hesitation, rushed forward as ordered by their sect leaders. Their imposing figures clashed, displaying various powerful techniques.

The sky was filled once again with divine weapons and treasures—ancient towers, incense burners, copper mirrors, Yin-Yang mirrors… The air shimmered with the light of the Great Dao, emitting billions of chains of order that fluctuated and scattered.

Many ancient Dao techniques were being cast and transformed, with divine light faintly glowing, as vast clouds of mist steamed up. Terrifying runes interwoven and evolved, making the place feel like the birth of a chaotic world.

“We must open a path!”

The Xiyuan Saintess, hearing the words of the sect leaders, did not hesitate. Despite her weakened state, she summoned the Reincarnation Mirror once again.

After seeing Ling Yuling’s capture, she knew that if she fell into Gu Changge’s hands, her fate would not be much better. He would no longer spare her, even for past connections.

Now, their only hope was to use the power of the Reincarnation Mirror to open a passage.

The hazy light of reincarnation gathered, brilliant and scorching, like an eternal divine light piercing the void. It shot toward the black lotus high in the sky.

The black lotus slowly rotated, releasing a deep, thunderous sound. Each petal was enormous, with runes interwoven inside, spreading divine chains of order, forming dark cages, seemingly prepared for the people in this place.

Boom!

An unparalleled collision of terrifying forces erupted here. Various substances and mist dispersed, like millions of stars exploding at once. In that instant, scenes of the universe evolving and chaos being annihilated unfolded.

The sect leaders from various forces joined forces with the Xiyuan Saintess, using the power of reincarnation to try to open a path to the outside world. Many ancient beings, witnessing this, also joined in. They could not sit idly by…

More cultivators and beings rushed toward Gu Changge, attempting to buy time for these leaders.

“Alliance Leader…”

Many powerful members of the Faten Alliance turned cold, wanting to act. They never expected these people to be so reckless at such a time.

Gu Changge’s gaze remained indifferent. His large hand swept through the air, and in an instant, the entire dark space was covered. It was as though it was raining in the sky, with figures flying and bleeding. Many didn’t even touch the ground before they exploded in mid-air, turning into a rain of blood.At the moment of hesitation, she quickly realized and said no more. Gu Changge had already shown great mercy by not killing her, and it was understandable that he would limit her cultivation and freedom.

Seeing that Gu Changge did not strike the fatal blow to Ling Yuling, many people from Yuxian Palace let out a sigh of relief. However, the people from various sects and forces looked grim. Just because Gu Changge spared Ling Yuling’s life did not mean he would spare them.

They didn’t have Ling Yuling’s luck, strength, or abilities. In their view, the reason Gu Changge spared Ling Yuling was because she was of great use to him. The current Faten Alliance needed people like her.

“Instead of waiting for death, we should fight with all we have. He won’t let us off easily.”

“At this point, do you still have any illusions about other possibilities?”

“We must unite and open a path to survival, or we will all perish here.”

Several sect leaders exchanged uncertain looks but quickly decided to act. They knew that if they delayed any longer, everyone would be doomed. The only option now was to join forces and break open a path to the outside world.

Although Gu Changge’s power was terrifying, it would not be easy for him to deal with them quickly.

The sky once again filled with divine weapons and treasures—ancient towers, incense burners, copper mirrors, Yin-Yang mirrors… They shimmered with the light of the Great Dao, sending out millions of chains of order that floated and dissipated.

Ancient Dao techniques were being invoked, casting divine light. Vast mists swirled, with terrifying runes interwoven, making the place feel like the birth of a chaotic universe.

“We must open a path!”

The Xiyuan Saintess, hearing the voices of the sect leaders, did not hesitate. Despite her weakened state, she summoned the Reincarnation Mirror again.

After seeing Ling Yuling’s fate, she knew that if she fell into Gu Changge’s hands, her end would be no better. He would no longer spare her, even for past connections.
