Chapter 1158 The Enchanting Bridal Robe Immortal Technique: Becoming the Scapegoat?  

Gu Changge was naturally pleased with this situation. The more the Prime-Origin Civilization underestimated the Heaven-Slaying Alliance, the more room he had for his schemes. 

He didn't need the Heaven-Slaying Alliance to be noticed by various civilizations. Existing in the shadows allowed it to operate unseen and untouchable. 

However, he estimated that this situation wouldn't last long. 

Once the situation in the Prime-Origin Civilization was fully under his control, it would essentially mean that the situation in the Vast Expanse would be completely opened up. 

After that, many things wouldn't require the careful planning they did now. 

The Taiyuan Ancient Domain, located within the territory of the Imperial Immortal Palace, had been relatively calm during this period. It hadn't been significantly affected by the conflict between the Immortal Chu Dynasty and the Demon Court. 

Although Ye Suyi followed Gu Changge, she rarely saw him. However, due to her extraordinary beauty, she had gained quite a reputation in the Imperial Immortal Academy. 

Many disciples speculated that she might be the disciple of the mysterious elder from Biluo Peak. 

Gu Changge seemed to spend all his time on the mist-shrouded Biluo Peak, and outsiders rarely saw his figure, leaving them unaware of what he was doing. 

Ye Suyi occasionally used the excuse of having questions about her cultivation to visit Biluo Peak and look for Gu Changge, but most of the time, she couldn't find him. 

She didn't know what Gu Changge was up to, as he didn't seem to need to seclude himself for cultivation like other elders. 

However, she had once seen the dean of the Imperial Immortal Academy appear respectfully on Biluo Peak, seemingly reporting something. 

This scene surprised Ye Suyi even more, deepening her curiosity about Gu Changge's mysterious origins and identity. 

Nevertheless, she never asked questions and simply focused on her own tasks. 

The Bridal Robe Immortal Technique that Gu Changge had taught her was something she diligently practiced. It had to be said that the technique Gu Changge had bestowed upon her was completely different from the one Zi Susu had given her. The difference in cultivation speed was incomparable. 

What would take an ordinary person ten or a hundred years to achieve, she could accomplish in just a few days. 

Such a terrifying cultivation speed was enough to drive people to obsession and madness. 

Although Ye Suyi didn't have much ambition for power or strength, she still found it incredible and unbelievable. 

Several months passed in this manner. 

The full-scale war between the Immortal Chu Dynasty and the Demon Court, which many forces in the Prime-Origin Civilization had expected, did not occur. 

On the contrary, during this time, the Immortal Chu Dynasty had been extremely low-key, with many of its powerful experts being recalled to the dynasty. 

Chu Gucheng, the ruler of the Immortal Chu Dynasty, seemed to have noticed that an invisible force was pushing and crushing the dynasty. 

With the situation unclear, making enemies everywhere would only lead to collapse and destruction. 

He had no choice but to restrain everyone, avoiding any involvement in external conflicts and keeping a low profile. 

Many leaders of various forces sighed in admiration, acknowledging that they lacked Chu Gucheng's decisiveness and perseverance. 

They couldn't have endured the death of their most beloved child as Chu Gucheng had. 

It could only be said that his ability to reach this point and establish the vast Immortal Chu Dynasty was not without reason. 

Chu Gucheng's hidden enemies were also disappointed, as they hadn't witnessed the expected outcome. They were equally curious about which force was secretly scheming against Chu Gucheng. 

After all, the enemy of their enemy was their friend. Relying on their own strength to take revenge on Chu Gucheng was unrealistic. 

Chu Gucheng had made many enemies on his rise to power, and many of them were lurking in the shadows, their whereabouts unknown even to Chu Gucheng himself. 

This was also what he feared and worried about. At such a critical juncture, he naturally didn't dare to let anyone leave the Immortal Chu Dynasty. 

Although the death of Chu Xiao and the Immortal Chu Dynasty's retreat had slightly eased tensions between the dynasty and the Demon Court, 

everyone knew that this was only due to the current circumstances. 

Blood was thicker than water, and Chu Gucheng would not let his son's death at the hands of the Demon Court go unavenged. 

Once he regained his footing, the Immortal Chu Dynasty would surely launch a large-scale campaign against the Demon Court. 

Of course, the Demon Court was not foolish. During this time, it had been trying to establish connections with many forces in the Prime-Origin Civilization. 

Many demon clans in the Endless Demon Domain had also received news, sensing that a true decisive battle between the Demon Court and the Immortal Chu Dynasty was inevitable in the near future. 

The current situation of the Immortal Chu Dynasty made many forces gloat, but some ancient existences also felt uneasy, believing that the calamity of the Prime-Origin Civilization would begin with the Immortal Chu Dynasty. 

During this time, top-tier forces like the Imperial Immortal Palace, the Divine Ascension Cavern, and Purple Dew Mountain were all trying to gather information about Gu Changge's whereabouts. 

After months of speculation, the events that had occurred in Purple Return City had spread across many universes in the Prime-Origin Civilization. 

Countless cultivators and beings were closely discussing and speculating about Gu Changge's identity. 

Some forces even suspected that his appearance was too coincidental, coming at a time when the situation in the Prime-Origin Civilization was unclear, making it hard for people to feel at ease. 

However, even Zi Yunchuan, Zhao Tianfan, and others who had interacted with Gu Changge that day didn't know his current whereabouts or traces. 

The Ten Thousand Treasures Secret Realm in the Southern Wilderness Ancient Domain opened as scheduled, and many prodigies rushed there in search of opportunities. 

Zi Yunchuan and the others also went, guessing that Gu Changge might have already entered the secret realm. However, they didn't find any trace of him inside and had to give up regretfully. 

The forces behind them had instructed them to invite Gu Changge back to their sects if they encountered him. 

After much speculation and deduction, many believed that the events in Purple Return City might not have been mere coincidences. 

Could the true mastermind behind it all be the mysterious Gu Changge? Was he the one orchestrating everything? 

However, the origins of the courtesan involved in the incident were later investigated, revealing a secret related to Purple Dew Mountain. 

This shocked many forces who had been closely following the matter. 

If the courtesan had been arranged by Gu Changge to deliberately provoke Chu Xiao, it still didn't make sense. 

After all, the two incidents had no connection, and their simultaneous occurrence could only be attributed to extreme coincidence. 

But if Gu Changge had known Chu Xiao's identity in advance, why would he deliberately provoke him? 

In the end, the many doubts and mysteries left the forces puzzled, and they could only conclude that it was all too coincidental. 

Or perhaps they were overthinking it? 

Otherwise, there was one last possibility: Gu Changge had been in contact with Di Kun, the Seventh Prince of the Demon Court, and had been scheming against the Demon Court all along? 

This possibility, once raised, made the experts of various forces shake their heads and laugh, finding it absurd and unbelievable. 

First of all, why would Gu Changge scheme against the Immortal Chu Dynasty? 

How did he know Chu Xiao's identity in advance, and when did he establish contact with the Demon Court? None of these premises could be explained. 

Because of this incident, all sorts of speculations emerged across the many universes of the Prime-Origin Civilization. 

Many cultivators believed that this was actually a joint effort by various forces in the Prime-Origin Civilization to use the Demon Court as a pawn in a scheme against the Immortal Chu Dynasty. 

However, because Gu Changge's appearance was too coincidental, they deliberately spread rumors and speculation, shifting the blame onto him and making him the scapegoat, causing the world to suspect him. 

Although such tactics were crude, they were indeed consistent with the methods and style of various forces.
