Gu Changge picked up the teacup and blew at it. He ignored Uncle Fu’s question and asked him instead, “What do you think about the current Land of Celestial Suffering, Uncle Fu?”

Uncle Fu did not know Gu Changge’s intention at all. Upon hearing that, he shook his head and said, “The Land of Celestial Suffering is an Immortal Kingdom that the King has built. It’s a flourishing country. No matter what happens in the world, it’ll never be destroyed. Over the past epochs, the Land of Celestial Suffering has always been peaceful. Be it Mortals or cultivators, they have to abide by the laws. Everyone is equal, and no one can oppress others. The King is magnanimous and willing to share his knowledge. Even beasts can learn Dao Abilities and become powerful beings…”

Before he even finished speaking, Gu Changge let out a sneer. “You’ve watched Chu Gucheng overcome many challenges and become who he is today, after all. Do you also think that’s the current state of Land of Celestial Suffering?”

Uncle Fu still could not figure out Gu Changge’s intention. He did mpt even know if Gu Changge was a friend or a foe.

Still, faced with the question, he replied, “Although the Land of Celestial Suffering hasn’t been around for a long time unlike the other Forces in the Primary Hope Civilisation, its overall strength is comparable to those Forces. As you can see, our King has the Human Emperor Sigil. His hope is for everyone to be like Dragons and Saints.”

Gu Changge put on a smile. “The Human Emperor Sigil? Hoping everyone to be like Dragons and Saints? If there’s a chance, I’d like to visit King Chu. Anyone who said such words must be a genius.”

“If you’d like to visit the king, I can make the arrangements for you.” Uncle Fu was relieved upon hearing that. He thought that Gu Changge wanted to see Chu Gucheng through him.

He had been in a difficult situation in the Land of Celestial Suffering as of late, so he had some grudges against Chu Gucheng.

However, he was a senior minister in the Land of Celestial Suffering, who had watched this kingdom grow into the juggernaut it was today over the years. He was emotionally attached to this kingdom and would not easily disparage it.

“There’s no need for that. I don’t need you to make any arrangement. In fact, I already met King Chu today. If I want to visit him, I’ll have to wait for a suitable chance.” Gu Changge sipped his tea and smiled.

Uncle Fu did not even know when Gu Changge had met Chu Gucheng.

“Why do you want to see me, then? If there’s anything I can help you with, I won’t turn you down.” he asked. After all, he still owed Gu Changge a favour. He felt that Gu Changge was there to ask him to repay the favour.

Gu Changge said after a smile, “I indeed need your help, but from the looks of it, I’m worried you won’t agree to it.”

He initially thought that after what happened in the Southbarren Ancient Territory, Uncle Fu would fall into a difficult situation. Chu Gucheng would avoid him and there would be all sorts of rumours about him. It was only natural that he would be depressed and resentful of the Land of Celestial Suffering and Chu Gucheng.

Nevertheless, after probing him, Gu Changge realised Uncle Fu still loved the Land of Celestial Suffering very much.

A while back, Gu Changge had left behind a chess piece named Chu Bai in the Land of Celestial Suffering.

Affected by the Artifact Spirit of the Sun Shooting Bow, Chu Bai would frequently say bad things about Land of Celestial Suffering and Chu Gucheng in front of Uncle Fu.

Despite his attempt to sow discord between them, Uncle Fu had not been affected much.

This came as a surprise to Gu Changge.

In the Southbarren Ancient Territory back then, he could feel that Uncle Fu was displeased with Chu Xiao. Because of the order and some other reasons, he did not criticise him.

Although he was loyal to Chu Gucheng, it was apparent that he had no regard for anyone else, given his experience and seniority.

Supposedly, someone like him could be affected easily.

“I don’t understand what you’re talking about, Young Master.” Upon hearing his words, Uncle Fu tensed up and felt cold all over his body. He suddenly had a terrible feeling.

When he looked out the window, he was shaken to the core. He was too stunned to speak. The teacup in his hand trembled as he felt a crawling sensation on his scalp. A chill ran down his spine.

At that moment, the entire world seemed to have fallen into a state of stillness except for him. The wind stopped blowing and the clouds stopped flowing. The cultivators and living beings had disappeared as though they had fallen into a horrifying abyss. He could not even feel his body anymore. Only his consciousness was active.

One had to know that he was a Dao Realm expert. Although he was not comparable to Ancestral Dao Realm experts, it was inconceivable that he had fallen into such a state without him knowing it.

“Don’t worry, Uncle Fu. No one else will find out about the conversation between us.” Gu Changge was still slowly sipping tea, seemingly oblivious to Uncle Fu’s shock.

“You’re indeed tremendously powerful, Young Master.” Uncle Fu took a deep breath to calm himself down.

Although he had speculated that Gu Changge was even more powerful than the black-robed old man beside him at that time, he did not have any evidence. What he was experiencing now verified his speculation. Even Chu Gucheng could not alter the Principles of the world so easily.

“It’s just a small trick,” Gu Changge said with a smile. “Since you almost lost your life once, you’re certainly not afraid of death. I won’t threaten you with your life. Still, I’ll give you some time to consider.

“I want the Land of Celestial Suffering destroyed and Chu Gucheng dead. If you’re willing to help, I can let you retain some of your consciousness. If you’re unwilling to help, I have to borrow your body for some time.” As he spoke, a wisp of black mist suddenly appeared. It was heaving as though it could breathe. It also carried a terrifying aura.

“You don’t have to waste your time on this old man, Master. Let me devour him directly. Although this body is not comparable to Jing Tianyuan, it’s good enough as he’s in the Dao Realm. You don’t have to worry about me damaging his Primordial Spirit and memories.” The wisp of black mist let out a hair-raising sneer. It was as though the black mist could devour all the substances in the world.

“I don’t want to end innocent lives if there’s no need for that. Tactful people will live longer than foolish ones.” Gu Changge shook his head. His voice was emotionless.

Uncle Fu felt cold all over his body. At this moment, he regretted coming to this place. If he never left his residence, it wouldn’t have been possible for Gu Changge to make a move against him regardless of how powerful and bold he was.

Uncle Fu foolishly let his guard down, which led to this outcome. He naively thought that he would not fall into danger since he was in the Land of Celestial Suffering.
