The air was filled with glowing white bone fragments and blood mist. Bone-chilling terror hung in the air, a haunting reminder of the swift and powerful strike that had occurred just moments ago.

*Chi!* In just an instant, a golden spear pierced through the forehead of a powerful Sixth-Order Quasi-Nirvana Realm expert. As a result, both her body and soul were completely destroyed on the spot. Everyone was left in a state of shock, unable to react as they witnessed the harrowing scene unfold before them.

Even in her final moments, Chen Suyun was powerless to fight back. Her eyes held a mix of shock, disbelief, confusion, and terror. It was hard for her to accept that she was going to die here, and not at the hands of the Sky Deer Goddess.

From the looks of it, this was the end. The Sky Deer Goddess had promised to let go of grudge, so why did she still have to die?

The Mountain Elders also watched the scene in shock. Many of them had stood up, exuding an intimidating aura as their faces darkened and their eyes shone with a menacing golden light.

You killed a disciple from our Nine Great Mountains? One of the Mountain Elders, who was close to Chen Suyun, bellowed in his deep voice. His eyes were fixed on Gu Changge with a mixture of rage and coldness.

Although the other Mountain Elders remained silent, their eyes revealed a range of emotions, including anger, shock, and confusion.

You The Second Mountain Elder, who finally came back to his senses, also looked at Gu Changge with an ugly expression. His face appeared slightly ashened, as he tried his best to suppress his anger.

Gu Changge had ruthlessly killed his disciple in front of everyone, and he, her Master, was unable to stop him in time. From his perspective, Gu Changge had totally humiliated him.

What is it? Shouldnt you be advising your disciple to let go of his hatred right now, Second Mountain Elder? Although I killed his Eldest Senior Sister, I believe that theres nothing in the world that cant be discussed about. I do feel guilty about it and intend to make amends. I wonder if he can be so magnanimous as to give me a chance to change my ways?

Gu Changges expression and tone remained unapologetic, and everyone could clearly detect the mocking intent in his words.

Upon hearing those words, the Second Mountain Elder was left speechless with an unpleasant look on his face. The other Mountain Elders fell silent, their eyes flickering as they struggled to find words to refute Gu Changge.

Many disciples from the Nine Great Mountains had an unpleasant look on their faces too, as anger and powerlessness grew in their hearts. They recognized that Gu Changge was merely repeating what Xiao Yang had said earlier.

This was exactly how he had persuaded the Sky Deer Goddess to let go of her grudge. Could he truly follow his own advice and let go of his hatred if he were to experience a similar situation?

After all, the emotions that one would experience when witnessing something happening to someone else differed greatly from the emotions that one would experience when the same thing happened to themselves.

There was no need for you to do that, my dear. Why let your hands be sullied by the blood of people like that? The Sky Deer Goddess blinked her eyes, which were crystal clear and radiating a beautiful luster like a pair of flawless jades.

A subtle smirk appeared on Gu Changges lips. Its nothing. I simply had the urge to find out if this disciple of the Second Mountain Elder could be magnanimous for once.

How very kind of you. The tall and slender woman, exuding elegance like no other, smiled. Her smile was so enchanting that it entranced several male disciples, making them unable to look away.

After being in a daze for a long time, Xiao Yang finally regained his senses. He looked at the blood mist and the glittering white bone fragments that filled the air in front of him. Rage and resentment filled his eyes as he glared at Gu Changge with enough hatred to kill. His entire body quivered with anger, his fists tightly clenched, and his eyes bloodshot.

Y-You killed my Eldest Senior Sister! He spoke every word with intense fury and malice, as if he wished to inflict a thousand cuts upon Gu Changge.

So what if I did? Youre not so magnanimous when the same happens to you now, huh? If you want to avenge your Eldest Senior Sister, then you are welcome to try. As he looked at Xiao Yang, Gu Changges expression remained indifferent, as though he had just crushed an ant.

His contemptuous and indifferent attitude fueled Xiao Yangs anger, making it increasingly difficult for him to suppress it.

*Buzz!* Faint green patterns glowed under Xiao Yangs skin, exuding a mysterious and profound aura. Blood rushed to his head and his eyes reddened. He looked like a ferocious beast, ready to pounce at any moment while being cornered.

ILL KILL YOU! Xiao Yang gritted his teeth. His voice was cold and he seemed determined to seek revenge at any cost.

He and his Eldest Senior Sister had been inseparable for over two decades. She was both a mother and a sister to him. How could he remain indifferent after witnessing her get murdered. To hell with being understanding and magnanimous.

Xiao Yang, do not act recklessly. The Second Mountain Elder frowned. With a sigh, he held Xiao Yang back.

If Xiao Yang and Gu Changge were to fight each other, he could not just sit idly by and do nothing. Xiao Yangs strength was no match for Gu Changges. The difference between them was simply too great.

Not only that, it would implicate the Nine Great Mountains too. Throughout this time, he had been cautious and vigilant, avoiding anything that might trigger the anticipated signs in his divination of the end.

Gu Changge fearlessly killed Chen Suyun in front of all the Mountain Elders and their disciples. He must have possessed great confidence and strength, and had no fear toward the Nine Great Mountains.

Despite the Second Mountain Elders reluctance, he was forced to endure this. If they were to argue, they would not be entirely correct either.

Master! Xiao Yang gritted his teeth, filled with an intense frustration. However, he knew that even if he had a hundred lives, he wouldnt be able to defeat Gu Changge in a fight.

What happened today was between your Eldest Senior Sister and the Sky Deer Goddess. As outsiders, we do not have the right to intervene. The Second Mountain Elder sighed softly, feeling just as frustrated as Xiao Yang. He took Chen Suyun under his wing after she had left Sky Deer City. How could he not feel anything about this, aftering spending so many years with her?

With a wave of his hand, the Golden Ancient Bell that was in the ancient battle arena turned into a stream of light and flew back into his sleeve. He then took Xiao Yang with him, transformed into a divine rainbow and left the area, not wishing to stay here for a moment longer.

The disciples, who had been feeling indignant, were left dumbfounded when the Second Mountain Elder chose to withdraw. Obviously, they did not expect that the Second Mountain Elder would be able to just turn around and leave with Xiao Yang without doing anything after witnessing his own disciple getting killed by an outsider. Many of them were either in disbelief, extremely angry or frustrated.

As Ah Das cold gaze fell upon them, they immediately shuddered and refrained from further commenting on the situation at hand. His towering and ominous black shadow instilled a deep sense of fear in people, and the immense pressure he exuded seemed capable of tearing through their skin.

This left the disciples feeling upset as they were on their own territory, yet they didnt even have the courage to speak up.

After the Second Mountain Elder left, the other Mountain Elders gave Gu Changge a final glance before vanishing from the area, all perplexed by the purpose of his visit.

Gu Changge narrowed his eyes when he heard the System notification. [It appears that eliminating Chen Suyun had dealt quite a blow on the Fortuitous One. When the hatred for the natives of the Celestial Ancient Continent was at its peak, the Fortuity was lower than this. When dealing with a Fortuitous One like him, nothing was more effective than making him experience the pain himself.]

[This is why one should never advise others to be magnanimous without knowing their hardship. Now that you understand the pain of others, can you really be magnanimous?]

Congratulations on successfully achieving your revenge. The Third Mountain Elder approached them from behind, his eyes glowing as he smiled at the Sky Deer Goddess and Gu Changge.

It was evident that he didnt show much concern for the death of Chen Suyun. In fact, he was the first to refuse her when Chen Suyun fled to the Nine Great Mountains and knelt under the mountain gate. Unfortunately, his opinion could not waver the Second Mountain Elders decision to take her in out of kindness.

After seeing Gu Changges might with his own eyes, he felt a bit shaken. The strike he had effortlessly executed was probably something that only a True Daoist could withstand. He was truly impressed to see a True Daoist at such a young age. It even made him wonder if Gu Changges origin was related to the Celestial Domain, which contact had been lost for ages.

Even so, becoming a True Daoist at his age was still an unimaginable accomplishment, even for someone from the Celestial Domain. Such a thing was not even recorded in the ancient archives.

This was the reason the Third Mountain Elder was eager to befriend him and was cautious not to underestimate him.

Thank you, my friend. I owe this to my dear. If not for him, Im uncertain as to when I would have been able to avenge my Master.

The Sky Deer Goddess shook her head and smiled. At the same time, she naturally held onto Gu Changges arm affectionately, as if she could not bear to be apart from him for even a moment.

You possess remarkable strength at such a young age, it is truly awe-inspiring. In comparison, I feel as though my own life has been lived in vain. The Third Mountain Elder was unusually respectful toward Gu Changge, and his words were laced with politeness and friendliness. Despite having achieved enlightenment long before the Sky Deer Goddess, he still found Gu Changges strength unfathomable.

The Third Mountain Elder then ordered the person standing behind him, Wudi, the Third Mountain shall host a banquet today to celebrate the Goddess triumphant revenge. Go make the necessary arrangements.

He did not even worry if doing so would offend the Second Mountain or the others. After all, the two had already been at odds a long time ago, so they usually acted without regard for each other.

For instance, if the Third Mountain Elder had not insisted on having a competition to choose the candidate to guard the Celestial Seal of the Nine Mountains, the Second Mountain Elder would have ignored the Third Mountains opinion and just passed the Celestial Seal to Xiao Yang.

Yes, Master.

Upon receiving the order, Gu Wudi threw a glance at Gu Changge before quickly leaving.

It seemed like the Third Mountain Elder was unaware of Gu Changges true identity. This made Wudi feel a little uneasy about the situation.

He could only hope that the Third Mountain Elder would have the wisdom to not resist when the time came for Gu Changge to destroy the Nine Great Mountains. Otherwise, he could not bear to imagine the consequences.

The news of todays incident quickly spread throughout the Nine Great Mountains. Even the disciples who were in retreat, who could not witness the battle, were shocked by the news. They never thought that Chen Suyun would be killed in such a mannerway. It was both disheartening and infuriating.

The Mountain Elders remained silent on this, so what could they, the disciples, possibly do? Had they attempted to confront Gu Changge, none of them would have been spared, given how ruthless he was at the time.

The Third Mountains hall was shrouded in mist and filled with a rich spiritual energy. Runes flickered and intertwined on the walls and jade pillars, creating a breathtaking Celestial Realm-like ambiance.

Both the guests and hosts were having a good time at the banquet. Many beautiful female disciples danced gracefully in their dresses with flowing long sleeves. Their mesmerizing faces and enchanting bodies were truly a sight to behold.

The Third Mountain Elder gave specific instructions to his disciples to prepare a grand feast using the large amount of sacred fruits and spiritual birds they had gathered over the years. As a result, the food was infused with remarkable divine light, creating a dazzling brilliance.

Magnificent spiritual manifestations emerged from the surface of the food, but its ominous aura made it seem like the creatures depicted would leap out from the projection, causing many disciples to turn pale.

They were once mighty creatures that had thrived in the space beyond the Third Mountain for millions of years. All these creatures that possessed immense strength were now hunted and slain for food. If an average cultivator were to approach the food, they might explode on the spot.

A toast in respect to you, Young Master.

If I ever leave the Nine Great Mountains in the future, I hope that youll have my back, Young Master.

The Third Mountain Master, who was dressed in black, took a seat on the side, while Gu Changge was offered the special seat. With a smile on his face, he raised the bronze wine cup in his hand and toasted to Gu Changge.
