Chapter 691: Golden finger’s backlash, Ashen face
The figure in the dark iron battle armor stood here like an iron tower. His eyes were cold and ruthless, emanating a kind of breathtaking pressure. He raised his palm to suppress the woman in the green skirt. A fierce aura soared into the sky condensed into chains, locking her hands and feet, making it difficult to move.
“Protect the lord!!” Outside the room, a large number of figures roared and rushed over, holding swords with killing intent.
However, before they got close to this place, they were crushed into a blood mist by majestic coercion, and their body and spirit were completely destroyed. The huge disparity in the realm could not be made up by quantity at all.
Alpha was standing there without any movement, but even his pervasive coercion could shatter everything.
“Damn, someone must have wanted to attack Hell, and you were used as a pawn by them.” The mysterious gravel was shining brightly. The middle-aged man witnessed all this, and informed in a deep voice. He had a bad premonition in his heart.
Being the Hall Master of Hell back then, he had experienced many things. The cause and effect of the matter could be seen at a glance by him.
After all, it was Lu Ming who tried to find the liaison of Hell these days, which attracted the attention of the people in the shadows. This made him a little annoyed that he was only in the state of a remnant soul. If he was at his peak period, how could he not feel the prying in the dark?
“Then what should we do now? Should we catch him without a fight, or find a way to escape?” Lu Ming was also feeling very uneasy as he asked the middle-aged man.
However, outside of the divine boat, there was a more terrifying aura descending. The middle-aged man didn’t bother to answer him and hurriedly concealed his aura, hiding in the deepest part of the mysterious gravel space.
Since Lu Ming had been targeted a long time ago, if he didn’t pay attention, he might also be caught by the other party.
“Senior…” Lu Ming continued to shout a few more times, but the middle-aged man didn’t answer him.
His heart also gradually sank. Today was probably more ominous than good. The rest of the cultivators and creatures in the divine boat knelt down on the ground in trembling and fear. They also did not dare to move.
They could only watch several figures approaching them from outside the divine boat. The leader, dressed in white, had a tall and straight figure, deep eyes, and a handsome face, like a young exiled immortal. He was extraordinary and refined, with brilliance flowing all over his body.
Many cultivators recognized him, and they were even more frightened. During this period of time, because of Gu Changge’s arrival, the Battlefield of Hundred Realms had entered a period of boundless chaos.
No one thought that he would show up here tonight, and he looked like a hostile visitor. Behind Gu Changge, there were still many people following.
There were high-level executives from the Wan Dao Merchant Alliance, and there was also Xue Yan, a young girl from the Qinghong Ancient World. All of them looked dignified and serious.
The reason why Xue Yan came here was that she was worried about Lu Ming and wanted to persuade him not to fight against Gu Changge. Although Gu Changge had promised before that Lu Ming would not be harmed, Xue Yan was still somewhat worried.
The reason why Lu Ming’s whereabouts would be exposed tonight. The big reason was that she had truthfully reported the many actions of Lu Ming to Gu Changge in recent days.
“Young master, what about these people?” Qing’er slowly glanced over everyone in the boat, with an indifferent expression, and asked Gu Changge respectfully. She was not sure if they were people from Hell.
“Catch them all, seal their sea of consciousness and cultivation,” Gu Changge said casually, he didn’t care much about these people.
His attention was actually still on the big fish in the divine boat.
Soon, a large number of soldiers in black battle armor rushed over from around the divine boat, arresting all the men, women, and children there. Because of the Seal of Heaven and Earth, this place had become its own domain.
Only the cultivators who had stepped into this place could know what happened there. Moreover, the cultivators within the seal could not pass on the news.
“My lord, everyone in it has already been captured, what should we do now?” All the cultivators in the divine boat were silent as cicadas, watching Alpha, who was wearing dark iron battle armor as he emerged.
He was still holding a woman in a green dress with a pale face in his hands. Lu Ming and the others followed behind with their hands down, not daring to make any moves.
“Is this the liaison of hell? Take her back first.” Gu Changge glanced at the woman in the green skirt but did not interrogate her in front of everyone.
“Gu Changge…” Looking at the man in white in front of him, the woman in the green dress turned pale. Her voice trembled, and only the last despair remained in her heart.
If it was someone else’s words, she still felt that things could turn around tonight. But the person in front of her turned out to be Gu Changge, even if her Master Meng Po was here, she could only obediently let it go.
“How could it be him? Why is Junior Sister Xue Yan here? Could it be…”
At this moment, Lu Ming naturally recognized Gu Changge, and his eyes widened involuntarily. Especially when he saw Junior Sister Xue Yan behind Gu Changge.
In an instant, he thought of many things, his face turned pale as he figured it out all at once.
“Impossible, how could Junior Sister Xue Yan be like this…” Lu Ming’s eyes were a little red and filled with a lot of blood. His fists were clenched tightly, he really wanted to rush forward and ask these questions in person.
In his impression, Junior Sister Xue Yan was sensible, smart, mature, and steady. How could she plot against him secretly? Did she inform Gu Changge of his many whereabouts?
However, Lu Ming hadn’t had time to step forward to ask questions. After seeing him, Xue Yan breathed a sigh of relief, walked straight toward him, and said guiltily, “Senior brother Lu Ming, I’m sorry, I had my own difficulties, I will explain to you later. But you must not go against Mr. Gu. Otherwise… no one will be able to protect you.”
Her words were very sincere, with deep guilt. After all, if she hadn’t leaked Lu Ming’s recent whereabouts, he wouldn’t have fallen to such a point.
“Why… Why are you doing this? Are you plotting against me like this?” But now Lu Ming had no reason to listen to her words. His eyes were full of disappointment and pain, and endless anger rose in his heart.
“I’m sorry, but I have to.” Xue Yan’s eyes were a little sad, and she was actually very guilty in her heart.
Although Lu Ming hid many things from him, he never hurt her. And her actions may even push Lu Ming into the abyss of eternal doom.
“I see, Gu Changge must have threatened you to do this, right? That night, he summoned you over for this matter, right?”
After all, Lu Ming was not an ordinary person, and he quickly guessed the ins and outs of the matter. His angry eyes fell on Xue Yan’s face.
Hearing this, Xue Yan was momentarily at a loss for words, and fell silent, not knowing how to explain.
“My lord, there is a hidden soul fluctuation on this person…” Alpha glanced at Lu Ming and said in a somewhat stern voice.
“I know.” Gu Changge smiled and did not disturb the conversation between Lu Ming and Xueyan, watching from the side with interest on his face.
When he saw Lu Ming for the first time, he knew that this Son of Luck had encountered some fortune. There was no shortage of things like golden fingers on him. Now it seemed that his golden finger might have a lot to do with Hell.
Perhaps there was a remnant soul of a character hidden in it.
“Miss Xue Yan, according to the agreement, if you do me this favor, I will naturally not kill your senior brother. And I wanted to find someone through him, and now that person is hiding in him…” Gu Changge smiled faintly and walked slowly toward Lu Ming while speaking.
Naturally, he just said it casually, without Xue Yan’s consent at all. Whether it was Lu Ming or Xue Yan, they were all the same in his eyes.
“Senior brother Lu Ming, you also saw that Mr. Gu said he would not kill you. He just wanted to find someone.” Seeing this, Xue Yan uttered sincerely, hoping that Lu Ming would not be ignorant and lose his life.
Lu Ming stared at Gu Changge firmly, with a struggle on his face. In fact, he also knew that what Gu Changge cared about was not him, but his mysterious gravel. Of course, to be precise, it might be the middle-aged man in the mysterious rubble.
Otherwise, how could Gu Changge care so much about such a humble little man like him?
“I know.” After a moment of silence, with many signs of struggle flashing across his face, Lu Ming said dejectedly. By now, he also knew that he had no choice but to hand over the mysterious piece of gravel.
However, just after he finished speaking and made a choice. The mysterious piece of gravel that he hid under his sleeve suddenly glowed brightly.
The glaring rays of light intertwined, as if they had been ignited, it was extremely hot.
“Damn boy, you betrayed me.” The middle-aged man’s face was extremely gloomy. He didn’t want to wait for death, so he could only resort to the last resort, intending to fuse his soul body with this mysterious gravel.
“What…” At this moment, Lu Ming also screamed, and a terrible burning pain came from his palm.
Even if he wanted to throw this mysterious gravel out, he couldn’t do it. This piece of support that had always helped him and made him step by step to the top of his peers in the Qinghong Ancient World seemed to have burned through his palm and fused into it.
The crimson flames spread out from Lu Ming’s palm all of a sudden, instantly engulfing him. He rolled on the ground, screaming and wailing, trying to relieve the pain. However, there was a special power in the mysterious gravel, which constantly devoured his flesh and soul. The middle aged man had to use flesh and blood to break free and escape from this place.
“Brother Lu Ming…” Xue Yan was also stunned by this sudden scene, and couldn’t help but exclaim, wanting to rescue Lu Ming.
However, Gu Changge’s movements were faster than hers. His sleeves shook slightly, and a gust of fresh air descended like a drizzle, directly extinguishing the red flames on Lu Ming’s body. But Lu Ming was also burnt to a terribly bad shape. He was dying, and had already passed out.
“It’s pretty smart of you to want to escape through this method… “Speaking of which, can this be regarded as Golden finger’s backlash?” Gu Changge’s eyes fell on Lu Ming’s palm where a terrible hole was burned out as he smiled lightly.
Naturally, he would not let the remnant soul escape. A vast power of laws emerged, followed by an inexplicable aura surging in this space. Everything slowed down, whether it was everyone’s thoughts or eyes, they seemed to be in a static state.
Then time went back, and the fine brilliance visible to the naked eye emerged from the surrounding void.
It was broken by the mysterious gravel, which was fused with the fragments of the middle-aged man’s remnant soul, but under the control of Gu Changge’s thoughts, it began to appear in a state of regressing and twisting.
Countless tiny light spots slowly condensed, falling towards Gu Changge’s palm and soon turned into a piece of gravel the size of a palm.
“Reversing time… Returning everything to the beginning.” Many high-level executives of the Wan Dao Business Alliance who followed Gu Changge all stared wide-eyed in amazement, full of disbelief.
It was like seeing a miracle. Even an Enlightened being could never think of using this kind of mysterious method. There was absolutely nothing they could do to turn back time and get everything back to how it was before.
After all, the Law of Time was one of the most mysterious and Supreme Laws in the world. Of course, Gu Changge also knew that he was only initially in control of this law, and could only reverse time for a short period of time.
The true power of time was far more vast and mysterious than anyone imagined.
“Who are you?” The remnant soul of the middle-aged man emerged from the gravel, full of horror and fear.
He had no idea that he had already integrated the remnant soul into the gravel. For cultivators, this was equivalent to the annihilation of body and spirit. But in Gu Changge’s hand, his remnant soul had condensed again. This method was tantamount to resurrecting the dead.
“Touching the threshold of the Immortal Realm… He’s still a young man.”
At this moment, the middle-aged man thought of the only possibility, and his heart was even more turbulent, and he was astonished to the extreme.
“A remnant soul at the level of an Enlightened being…” Gu Changge looked at the middle-aged man emerging from the gravel, feeling a little dazed.
It turned out that this was what Lu Ming relied on to contact Hell. However, instead of torturing the middle-aged man about many things in front of everyone, he waved his hand, storing it into his pocket space.
Gu Changge was not worried that he would not be able to ask questions. The strength of the Enlightened being was also the existence at the level of Hall Master in Hell.
Even if there was a forbidden technique used to seal their divine consciousness, making it difficult to reveal many things. For him, finding the location of Hell was already a piece of cake.
Soon, the divine boat and all the cultivators and creatures within a hundred miles were taken away, and the place fell into a strange void. Unless an Enlightened being showed up to investigate, they would not know what happened here.
After all, what Gu Changge wanted was to catch them off guard, so as not to startle the snake, so it was natural to arrange everything here. As long as the hiding place of Hell emerged, everything would be easy to handle.
What happened tonight was only spread within a small area of the Wan Dao Business Alliance’s top management because Gu Changge had an order to strictly prevent this matter from others.
Of course, there must be Hell’s spies within the Wan Dao business alliance and there was no doubt about it. Therefore, after returning to the previous residence, Gu Changge sent everyone away.
“Spare my life, and I will tell you everything I know.” The remnant soul of the middle-aged man was released by him.
He took a deep breath, looked at Gu Changge in front of him, and promised in a deep voice. He had been in this state for 60 million years, which showed how strong his desire to survive was, so he naturally didn’t want to die at this time.
“I don’t need you to tell me what I want to know.” But Gu Changge didn’t mean to say anything more to him, his expression was flat and indifferent.
When he raised his palm, a dense black light filled the air as the runes of the Dao appeared one after another, turning into a vase of the Dao. It suddenly drowned the middle-aged man.
“This is…” The middle-aged man originally wanted to negotiate terms with Gu Changge, but he never expected that Gu Changge would not talk nonsense with him at all.
Moreover, as the former Hall Master, he had so much knowledge. He recognized this Great Dao treasure bottle immediately, and his face was filled with fear. Soon, the screams in the palace stopped abruptly.
“The Hall Master of the first Hall from 60 million years ago…” Gu Changge closed his eyes, quietly flipping through the many memories of the middle-aged man.
Even if the opponent’s soul was deep, there were restrictions left to prevent the disclosure of many secrets of Hell. But in the face of the devouring power of the Dao bottle, the many restrictions collapsed like snow.
Many memories of the middle-aged man were now in front of him, like pages of a book, which could be flipped through at will.
