Chapter 1676. I originally intended my heart to face the bright moon, but this is truly heartbreaking

This sudden scene caught many off guard, leaving them shocked and incredulous.

Outside the main hall, many clan leaders and elders were also unable to react to what had just happened, their faces filled with astonishment.

The leaders and headmasters of various factions were equally stunned, their expressions full of shock and disbelief.

Why would the leader of the Faqian Alliance, who was peacefully signing the Xiyuan Covenant, suddenly be attacked?

Such a terrifying force, capable of destroying the world, could not even be resisted by an ancestor-level existence. It was clear that the intention was to kill the leader of the Faqian Alliance right there.

Clearly, once the covenant was signed, the situation of the Xiyuan Civilization would stabilize, and the future would bring peace and tranquility.

This was a great blessing for any faction or clan—why would someone try to stop it?

Throughout this process, the leader of the Faqian Alliance did not resist or show any opposition.

Instead, he calmly and confidently approached to sign the covenant, and everything was progressing in a positive direction. But now, everything is ruined.

From the moment the attack was made on Gu Changge, this covenant, which was intended to bring peace, was completely destroyed. It would never be signed again.

The clan leaders and elders felt ashen, already foreseeing that the Xiyuan Civilization was about to face a bloody and chaotic upheaval.

Regardless of whether the leader of the Faqian Alliance, Gu Changge, dies or not, the various factions and forces will certainly suffer backlash and be avenged by the Faqian Alliance.

At that moment, the angry roars of the Faqian Alliance members in the hall made many confused cultivators and beings outside the mountain return to their senses, filled with shock and horror.

Just moments ago, everyone was blinded by the terrifying divine light that pierced the vast cosmos. Their senses were completely blocked, and they had no idea what was happening in the main hall.

But now, it seemed that the apocalyptic divine light wrapped around the covenant gold book and falling down was actually prepared to kill the leader of the Faqian Alliance, Gu Changge?

Could it be that the so-called Xiyuan Covenant was actually just a trap set by the ancestors of the Yuxian Palace, in collaboration with various other factions, to kill the leader of the Faqian Alliance here?

“Is this true?”

“Was everything a setup in advance, just to deal with the leader of the Faqian Alliance? Were we all deceived?”

“Was the signing of the Xiyuan Covenant just a cover for a larger plot?”

Many cultivators and beings trembled with fear, feeling a chill run down their spines.Apart from them, the other unaware forces and factions also felt deceived.

Before this, no one had any idea this was happening, nor had there been any rumors or information. Everyone thought this would be an alliance forged for peaceful coexistence, to ensure that the upcoming Xiyuan Covenant would bring a relatively peaceful period.

But who could have imagined that the ancestors of the Yuxian Palace and others would be so ruthless and resolute, willing to deceive the entire Xiyuan Civilization just to scheme against Gu Changge?

The courage and methods behind this are both terrifying and chilling, filling everyone with a deep sense of dread. After all, no one dared to think of such a thing before: to solve the problem of the Faqian Alliance, they simply set a trap to kill Gu Changge, the leader of the Faqian Alliance.

At that moment, the clan leaders and elders of various factions developed deep awe and fear towards the ancestor Ling Yuling of the Yuxian Palace.

It can only be said that she truly lives up to her reputation as the one who eradicated the Black Calamity. She appears to be a graceful and elegant beauty, but in reality, she is ruthless, decisive, with deep schemes and unfathomable methods.

Boom!

Amidst the shock of the various factions and forces, a world-shaking battle erupted in an instant from the main hall deep within Zongmiao Mountain.

The members of the Faqian Alliance rushed in, and several Dao realm beings, enraged, directly took action. Their overwhelming divine might surged like a vast sea, their divine light rolling and Dao symbols flashing.

Numerous small worlds and ancient cosmic phantoms intertwined, evolving the scenes of the heavens, able to suppress all spirits.

Everyone was furious, their anger and fury overwhelming any consideration of mercy.

At that moment, to the members of the Faqian Alliance, everyone in the hall was their enemy. They had joined forces with Ling Yuling and others to scheme against their leader, Gu Changge, and now they had become life-and-death enemies.

“He is so powerful, he should be fine, right…”

Mu Yan was filled with worry, her eyes full of lingering fear as she looked at the area that had been completely evaporated.

In that place, all rules and auras had disappeared, and even sight and divine senses could not penetrate, as though it had been forever erased from existence.

The terrifying power was clear—capable of erasing even an existence in the ancestor Dao realm, it could undoubtedly be called a destructive killing blow.

They had never imagined such an unexpected event would occur during the signing of the Xiyuan Covenant.

When Ling Yuling and other ancient beings had discussed the contents of the covenant earlier, she had also been present. She wasn’t interested in the terms, because before this, Gu Changge had already told her that the development of the Faqian Alliance would certainly make the Xiyuan Civilization wary, so the various clans would have to adopt measures like the Xiyuan Covenant to curb its growth.

At that time, Mu Yan asked him what he would do about it. Would he bring the Faqian Alliance to conquer the various Dao factions one by one?

Gu Changge simply smiled and shook his head, saying he wasn’t interested in such matters. The Xiyuan Covenant would have no effect on the Faqian Alliance.

His original intention in establishing the Faqian Alliance wasn’t to unify the Xiyuan Civilization and fulfill his own ambitions.

At that time, Mu Yan realized that the factions of the Xiyuan Civilization and Gu Changge would never be on the same level. The perspectives were completely different.

Gu Changge was truly for all beings and the countless clans, for the purpose of “slaying the heavens,” that he had established the Faqian Alliance.

Now, seeing the various factions of the Xiyuan Civilization unite to scheme against Gu Changge, she was genuinely angry and heartbroken.

“The leader’s strength is unfathomable. He should be fine.” At this moment, Mo Tong, who had an icy, frosty face, rare to show any emotion, quietly spoke in a low voice.

Mu Yan glanced at her in surprise. This ice-like gray-haired girl rarely spoke, let alone expressed such genuine feelings.

Although she, like Mu Yan, had followed Gu Changge for a long time, she had been taken by him from the gladiator arena during the time of the Immortal Spirit Civilization and had since been by his side.

However, people rarely heard her speak. Most of the time, she practiced the arts of killing under the guidance of the White Bone Ancestor King, and she resembled a flawless ice sculpture.

“He’s always been so kind to me. He’s truly a warm-hearted and kind person. He doesn’t deserve to be schemed against like this,” Mu Yan continued softly.

Mo Tong seemed to notice Mu Yan’s gaze and softly spoke again.

She would never forget the day Gu Changge took her from the dark, blood-soaked, filthy and foul-smelling gladiator arena, bringing her into the sunlight to enjoy fresh air.

“If something happens to the leader, I swear I will make them all pay the price.”

Mo Tong’s light gray eyes flashed with killing intent as she slowly swept across the various clans and Dao factions in the hall, her gaze lingering especially on the faces of Ling Yuling and the Saintess of Xiyuan.

Within the hall, the terrifying aura intertwined, fists and palms clashing as one after another, Dao symbols flickered. The tremendous power seemed to rip open the heavens, continuously pressing down with overwhelming force.

Above the sky, various ancient Dao artifacts floated—Divine Lamps, Taiji Diagrams, Yin-Yang Swords, Bagua Mirrors, Immortal Drums—all surrounded by billions of beams of light, with Dao order descending, exuding a destructive aura as they caused worlds to collapse.

Such a battle was unprecedented, capable of tearing through countless star systems. Nearby, even some ancestors of the Dao realm had deep, indifferent gazes, preparing to join the fray at any moment.

Fortunately, they were in Zongmiao Mountain, which had natural terrain formations. Otherwise, any battle between Dao realm experts would be enough to flatten the surroundings.

“Sister, why are you doing this?”

Ling Yuling was protected by several elders from the Yuxian Palace, standing behind. She looked at her sister, who was confronting the Dao realm experts from the Faqian Alliance, with confusion and suppressed anger on her face.

“I don’t know why things turned out this way.”

Ling Yuling shook her head lightly, her voice tinged with helplessness and bitterness.

At that moment, her heart was full of shock and confusion, but now she had no choice but to confront the members of the Faqian Alliance.

Because now, to everyone, including the elders and disciples of the Yuxian Palace, it seemed that this was all secretly planned by her—to collaborate with various Dao factions to scheme against and kill Gu Changge.

Not far away, the Saintess of Xiyuan was also reluctantly facing the members of the Faqian Alliance.

Regarding Ling Yuling’s words, she was unsure whether to believe them—was it true, or was she simply trying to distance herself and shift the blame onto others?

Previously, she and Ling Yuling had indeed discussed countermeasures and came up with several tactics to handle the situation. However, Ling Yuling had never informed her about this event.

“It can only be said that she truly deserves her reputation as the one who eradicated the Black Calamity. This method is admirable,” said an ancient being from the Jie Kong Ridge, Shuang Ming. He looked at Ling Yuling with a mix of admiration and wariness.

The power that struck earlier made even him, who had survived eight heavenly tribulations, feel a sudden chill and dread. If he had been caught off guard by such an attack, it could have easily resulted in death.

“Indeed, this method is impressive,” said the Dao Lord Changming, who also clasped his hands and nodded, his eyes filled with caution.

“Hahaha, as expected of Senior Ling Yuling. Such a method has earned our admiration. To deal with this person, there is no need for principles or ethics. As long as we eliminate him, we will remove a great threat to the Xiyuan Civilization.”

“This is a great merit. Senior Ling Yuling need not feel any guilt, we completely understand and applaud this action.”

The Headmaster of the Shouyang Tian Sect was engaged in battle with a Dao realm expert from the Faqian Alliance. His sleeve swirled, and two flying swords surrounded by chaotic light flew out, slashing through the air, severing the arm of the Dao expert, sending him flying while vomiting blood.

Standing firm with his sword, he exuded a fierce aura as his hearty laughter echoed in the hall. The other headmasters and leaders close to him also smiled, though they were shocked by the earlier scene, they saw no problem with it.

Dealing with someone like Gu Changge, the leader of the Faqian Alliance, didn’t require any moral considerations.

The leaders of the immortal Dao factions, such as the Lord of Guangming Temple and the Buddha of the Ru Lai Buddha Kingdom, led their elders and Buddha figures to observe from afar.

They had been among the first to sign the Xiyuan Covenant and were equally surprised by the scene that unfolded today. However, now, everyone in the hall was seen as an enemy by the Faqian Alliance, and the Dao factions that had signed the Xiyuan Covenant were no exception.Ling Yuling stood tall in the air, her black hair floating in the wind. Her previously gentle, watery gaze now contained a trace of sharpness.

She cast a cold glance at the Headmaster of Shouyang Tian Sect, who was adding fuel to the fire at that crucial moment. It was as though he was eager for her to clash with the Faqian Alliance. In her view, the covenant’s golden book had definitely been tampered with by certain forces. Otherwise, it would be impossible for such destructive power to suddenly form and strike Gu Changge.

The chaotic battle soon broke out of the hall, with several Dao realm experts clashing, their figures already flying out into the external space. In that place, divine light shot up into the sky, and terrifying scenes unfolded.

Countless cultivators and beings felt the crushing pressure, their bones creaking as if they were about to collapse under the immense weight.

The heavens and earth trembled violently, and the surrounding divine trees crumbled. From deep in the sky, one could see a massive rift, as though some unimaginable force had split it open.

The aura emanating from the surroundings alone was enough to terrify anyone, capable of annihilating both the body and soul of any being.

Seeing that the situation was spiraling out of control, Ling Yuling, who had been confronting the Faqian Alliance, had no choice but to intervene.

She extended her slender jade hand, sweeping across the entire sky, reaching out to separate the Dao realm experts who were battling in external space.

If they continued to fight, the surrounding universe would likely be affected, and everything would be destroyed in the aftermath.

The Headmasters of Shouyang Tian Sect, Tuoyang Mountain, Ling Shen Cave, and other Dao factions all revealed their auras, continuing to face off against the Faqian Alliance, with the situation tense and ready to explode.

The Saintess of Xiyuan, Xiyin, Dao Lord Changming, and other ancient existences also stood their ground, momentarily easing the chaotic situation.

“Everyone, let’s talk this through. The aura of the Faqian Alliance’s leader has disappeared. You are all esteemed Headmasters, and yet your minds are still clouded by him, serving his cause. It’s truly foolish,” sneered a Headmaster-level figure, sweeping his gaze over the Faqian Alliance.

“Your actions are despicable and vile. To think that the revered ancestors of Yuxian Palace would resort to such underhanded tactics,” he continued.

“How could the leader have trusted you so much and valued you so highly? He agreed to the Xiyuan Covenant out of respect for you.”

“But who would have thought—truly, the most poisonous of hearts—Ling Yuling, you’ve schemed against your benefactor. Where is your conscience?”

“When you were trapped in that dark space, it was the leader himself who rescued you. Is this how you repay him?”

“Ask yourself, what has the leader done to wrong you? Why would you go this far?”

Outside the hall, figures like Hunyuan Jun, Zhuo Feng Xie, and Chu Heng emerged, their faces filled with fury. The killing intent emanating from them soared into the sky, each of them exuding an overwhelming aura of destruction.

Jing Tianyuan, the ancient ancestor of the Jing Clan, was even more enraged, cursing Ling Yuling harshly in front of everyone, his words unrelenting.

The rest of the Faqian Alliance’s Dao realm experts were equally furious.

For them, this situation was truly bizarre and unimaginable. They never expected that at the crucial moment of signing the covenant, Ling Yuling and the others would tamper with the covenant’s golden book and suddenly attack their leader, Gu Changge.

After all, who would have thought that they would be so vile, committing such shameless and despicable acts in front of the various factions and Dao factions of the Xiyuan Civilization?

It was only because the members of the Faqian Alliance had previously advised Gu Changge to think carefully before signing the Xiyuan Covenant, believing that the various clans of Xiyuan Civilization were clearly preparing this as a measure to suppress the Faqian Alliance.

Months earlier, the members of the Faqian Alliance had already warned Gu Changge that signing the Xiyuan Covenant would undoubtedly be detrimental to the future development of the Faqian Alliance.

The various factions and Dao factions had undoubtedly crafted this covenant to suppress the Faqian Alliance.

At that time, they believed it should not be signed, but now, with the Faqian Alliance’s strength growing, they had no fear of any Dao faction in Xiyuan Civilization.

They only needed a thousand or even several thousand years to eventually unify the entire Xiyuan Civilization.But at that time, Gu Changge’s response to them was that this could not be done. If they waged war against all factions, in the end, it would only bring harm to the innocent beings and clans. This was contrary to the original intention with which he founded the Faqian Alliance.

If the Faqian Alliance was established and caused the various clans and factions to fall into chaos and unrest, how would that be any different from the remnants of the Black Calamity or the demonic cults and evil beings?

His calm and indifferent words left a lasting impression on the members of the Faqian Alliance, who could never forget them and grew to respect and admire him deeply.

However, who could have imagined that the leader, Gu Changge, who had always considered the well-being of all beings and the countless clans, would be treated this way by the various factions? This was truly heartbreaking.
