The expression on Liu Ziyan’s face changed drastically. She flew backward, trying to avoid the attack. However, this power was simply too terrifying. The Principles fell, as heavy and as vast as the starry sky. Even when the attack did not directly hit her, her flesh still got torn.

*Boom!!* Space trembled, as if it was about to collapse. If this place hadn’t been enveloped by runes just now, the noise here would have spread out in all directions, and cause people to gather.

That was why the enemy came prepared, expecting the noise of his actions. Set up an array to hide his aura, and eliminate her in silence.

Knowing this, her pretty face turned cold.

Although the other party had not admitted it, she had already guessed that this matter must have something to do with Sky King Zhi Yang.

The man in black robe was a subordinate of the Successor of Demonic Arts, and Sky King Zhi Yang wanted to kill her as soon as possible. Naturally, now this was the best time for them.

“I didn’t expect Sky King Zhi Yang to really work together with the Successor of Demonic Arts. Now that I’ve discovered your secret, you probably won’t spare my life, right?” Liu Ziyan took out her artifact, the colorful Heaven Encompassing Umbrella, radiating various lights.

All of a sudden, it spread out like a shield, trying to fend off the man in black robe.

Moreover, Liu Ziyan was very decisive in whatever she did, knowing that she was no match for the other party. She immediately took out another artifact her father had left for her, to protect herself. It was a Golden Decree. The moment she activated it, endless golden light spurted out, like a golden sun that rose in the blink of an eye.

Even though the courtyard was covered in black mist, completely isolated from the outside world, there were still signs of the array breaking.

The figure in black robe was incomparably powerful, far stronger than those also in the Sacred Lord Realm, who Liu Ziyan had met before. In her opinion, the man in black robe in front of her could even fight against a Sacred King Realm expert.

With her own means, it was even difficult for her to save her own life. That was why, she was acting so decisively.

*Rumble!* With a sound that seemed to have indicated the world was about to end, as if hundreds of stars had exploded, her Heaven Encompassing Umbrella withstood a blow, and cracks immediately appeared on it, completely destroying it.

Even in the Golden Decree, not nothing to the man in black robe. He cared not for it and even sneered.

“I should have known that you have something like this.” He waved both of his hands, and two black beams suddenly appeared in the void, surging with an unparalleled aura. Then, the two beams crisscrossed, turning into a terrifying cross that moved forward. Endless might that seemed to be able to devour everything, causing runes to gush out. It was beyond frightening.

The Golden Decree was instantly devoured by the cross. The two forces fought back and forth, with neither gaining ground. Effectively, the Golden Decree had been rendered useless.

This scene shocked Liu Ziyam. With the protection from the Golden Decree gone, she immediately tried to use something else. But before she could, the black fog gushed towards her. She flew back from the impact and vomited a mouthful of blood. Her aura also greatly weakened.

“This is the divine ability my Master has granted me. I have long expected you to try and bring out more. I was just waiting for you to use it. Saintess, no one can save you today. The same day next year will be your Memorial Day!” The man in black sneered and his figure approached at lightning speed. Then, he disappeared and used his powerful divine abilities.

Darkness enveloped all directions and spread towards Liu Ziyan, ready to kill.

Seeing this, Liu Ziyan couldn’t help but feel desperate.

The next moment, her figure flew out and fell to the ground. She was covered in blood and seriously injured. Her snow-white skin was covered with wounds.

“You are about to die. Are you really still going to resist?” The man in black robe appeared again, and his gaze was very indifferent.

Liu Ziyan coughed and tried to stand up. She looked at the man coldly and said nothing. The many methods she brought out were all completely useless.

Even the Golden Decree, which contained her father’s might was easily suppressed by the other party’s divine ability.

[Will today really be my final day?] She felt very regretful now. If she had listened to Gu Changge and moved to his palace beforehand, would this man dare to be so arrogant?

“It seems that the Saintess Ziyan has finally learned how to regret.” At this moment, a voice that sounded a little happy suddenly came from the house behind her, making her freeze and then turn around. It felt as if she was dreaming.

“Gu Changge?” She couldn’t help but exclaim. Her beautiful eyes were full of disbelief. But there was more unconcealed joy, surprise, and excitement in them.

Who would have thought that in such a life-and-death situation, Gu Changge would suddenly appear?

[But why? How?] There wasn’t enough time for Liu Ziyan to ask any questions. In her opinion, Gu Changge’s strength was enough to contend against the man in black in front of her. After all, his strongest skill was already used to suppress her Golden Decree.

“It seems that as I expected, there will be someone who couldn’t wait to attack you.” From the room, Gu Changge walked out unhurriedly, with an impeccable smile on his face.

“You expected this?” Looking at him, Liu Ziyan felt more or less relieved. She remembered Gu Changge’s actions and words from before. [He had indeed said that at that time. He believed Sky King Zhi Yang would send someone to assassinate me. Is that why he is here? So, he concealed himself while staying by my side, and waited for the attacker to show up?]

“If not, why should I show up to save you?” Gu Changge smiled and began to emit a strong, powerful aura. Even if his Source was damaged, his aura still seemed invincible.

*Boom! Boom! Boom!* The universe seemed to be on the verge of exploding, with many terrifying abnormal phenomenons appearing.

“Gu Changge? My Master will come and take your life in person.” The man in black glanced at him with fear. It seems that he wanted to retreat.

“Oh, but it seems that your life will be ending here today,” Gu Changge looked at him and said calmly.

“Haha, how arrogant of you to say that! Do you really think I’m the only one who’s taking action? Besides, you’re injured. Do you really think I can’t tell how serious your injuries are? That you can’t use much of your strength.” The man in black sneered without fear. At the next moment, he had already made his move

Soon, the two in the courtyard fought causing the palace to tremble. The battle was so fierce that the array used to hide the commotion started to collapse.

The black fog surged and the void trembled. A majestic power, as large as the sky, smashed down, wanting to crush Gu Changge into a blood mist and annihilate him.

However, as soon as Gu Changge made his move, streaks of strange light appeared one after another, so powerful that they annihilated anything in their path.

“Weren’t you badly injured?” The black robed man’s face changed. He turned around, feeling that the situation was not right and planned to run away.

got seriously injured, it will still be easy to kill you.” Gu Changge replied indifferently. His figure flashed and he quickly chased after him, with the array which enveloped the place being completely destroyed.

“What happened?”

“What’s going on? Is there someone trying to assassinate the Young Master?”

Many immediately sensed the fluctuations of a fight and all appeared in the sky, incomparably shocked.

“I hope that Young Master Changge can capture that man, and ask him about the whereabouts of Sky King Zhi Yang. Better yet, clues about the Successor of Demonic Arts.” Seeing that Gu Changge was chasing after him, Liu Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief. She gradually calmed down and felt much more relieved. She began to think about the matter. [What happened tonight must have something to do with Sky King Zhi Yang and the Successor of Demonic Arts… I need to tell father about this. I need to inform him and let him make the decision. It is now confirmed that Sky King Zhi Yang has colluded with the Successor of Demonic Arts.]

At this moment, in the palace complex, hiding in the void, Qin Wuya, who was carefully hiding his presence, also immediately noticed the chaos. He was also shocked. He didn’t know what had happened yet.

[Did someone notice me? Is something trying to assasinate Gu Changge? In any case, it seems like even Heaven is helping me. Although I don’t know the reason… It should be related to Gu Changge getting attacked by an assassin. In such a chaotic situation, I can take the opportunity to save her.] Qin Wuya couldn’t help smiling. His figure moved and became blurry. With the information he had collected the past few days, he rushed to the courtyard where Liu Ziyan lived.

“Who are you?” However, just as his figure appeared in the courtyard, a dazzling sword light suddenly appeared, forming an unparalleled killing intent as it slashing down at him. The one who emitted such cold killing intent was Liu Ziyan as she asked.

“Don’t worry, Saintess Ziyan. I mean no harm. It was Sky King Zhi Yang who had asked me to save you.” Qin Wuya explained. He didn’t want to cause any unnecessary trouble. However, he felt that there seemed to be something wrong with her current state.

“Sky King Zhi Yang? Save me?” Hearing this, Liu Ziyan sneered. Her pretty face became colder and colder, like a mysterious glacier that had not melted for thousands of years. It was so cold that everything around her seemed to freeze.

This time, she chose to make a direct move without mercy. She displayed her most powerful Ancient Heavenly Art, where she summoned all kinds of runes, involving many Great Dao Principles, that were far too enigmatic.

Qin Wuya frowned, feeling that things had become very tricky. [Why is her reaction completely different from what it is supposed to be?]

However, he didn’t want to hurt her. Instead of making a move, he kept dodging.

“Oh? It seems that this is a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain. I’ve been wondering why that guy seems like he was buying time. So, this is the true goal.” Suddenly, there was a voice outside the courtyard. A figure in white swept over the eaves and appeared. There was a faint smile on his handsome face.

*Rumble!* The sky trembled, creating a huge and indescribable sound. Outside the courtyard, there were also many that suddenly rushed over. They were blocking from all sides, such that even a fly would not be able to fly out.

Everyone stared at everything happening in the courtyard and took out all kinds of artifacts. There were radiant light shining from different sides, with great murderous intent engulfing the place, enough to completely envelop the universe.

“Gu Changge…” Staring at the young man who was walking unhurriedly, Qin Wuya’s expression suddenly changed. His scalp went numb, and a boundless chill rose from his back.
