He actually didn't want to waste his breath, but at the moment, the vast majority of the Jing Clan's strength was gathered here.
If they personally destroyed this pagoda, that would naturally be best.
Gu Changge estimated that Ling Yuxian was about to find the place where the Imperial Immortal Palace's Ancestor Master was trapped. And when the time came, she would certainly insist on obstructing.
This would instead add quite a bit of trouble for him.
From start to finish, Gu Changge wanted to remain an outsider, waiting to reap the benefits, but now it seemed he still had to intervene.
Just as Jing Xiang's parents hesitated and struggled because of Gu Changge's words,
many Jing Clan members in the distance suddenly made a move, completely unexpected by everyone.
Energy surged, divine runes manifested one after another, stirring the Great Dao between heaven and earth, borrowing the power of the cosmos and universe to blast open the steadfast ancient pagoda.
The commotion was immense. The entire cosmos trembled, heaven and earth resonated lightly. Countless Great Dao auras converged, transforming into layers upon layers of patterns, attacking together, capable of destroying heaven and earth.
This scene startled many Jing Clan members present, all looking on with shock and disbelief.
Including the Jing Clan's Patriarch and those elders, their faces were filled with shock. They hadn't expected that after their orders, there would still be clan members choosing to attack this ancient pagoda, intending to destroy it.
"What's going on?"
Jing Xiang and the others were also stunned.
"It seems I somewhat underestimated that fellow's methods."
On the other hand, Gu Changge merely showed slight surprise, pondered for a moment, and didn't seem very astonished.
If the guy inside the Demon-Sealing Tower hadn't acted, he would have already planned to intervene.
But now it seemed that guy still had some tricks. All these years trapped here had allowed him to accumulate considerable hidden means.
This level of method could already be considered extremely refined within the Path of the Six Desires Demons, comparable to those innate Six Desires Heavenly Demons capable of confusing minds and disrupting human norms.
"Everyone, attack! Smash open this pagoda and help me escape!"
On the highest level of the Demon-Sealing Tower, the black-robed old man's expression had turned frenzied. Wisp after wisp of black mist seeped from his face.
Each strand of black mist seemed alive, twisting and screaming in the void, struggling to transform into blurry faces, then wildly spreading and permeating from all sides of the pagoda's top, as if trying to envelop the surrounding space entirely.
And in the other seventeen levels below the Demon-Sealing Tower, many Jing Clan ancestors were also affected to varying degrees.
Some of their faces showed wisps of black mist, their expressions ferocious, constantly emitting roars as if trying to escape this place.
Their thoughts and sensations immediately affected their direct lineage descendants who shared a blood connection.
"Stop! Have you gone mad? The Patriarch ordered that no one is to approach this ancient pagoda!"
"You dare to attack, wanting to open it?"
Outside the Demon-Sealing Tower, chaos instantly erupted. Many Jing Clan members, bewildered, urgently tried to stop those who were attacking.
But now, few paid attention. The eyes of these attacking clan members faintly swirled with black mist, and they muttered words.
"Our ancestors have been trapped here for countless years, suffering hardship and torment. Seeing this, you remain unmoved? You are unworthy descendants of the Jing Clan!"
"My grandfather is trapped inside. I heard his voice calling me. I must save him..."
"This is no Land of Eternal Life at all. It's simply a prison, a hellish cage imprisoning our Jing Clan ancestors generation after generation!"
Within the originally bleak, grey world, it now seemed as if wave after wave of invisible, demonic black winds blew, carrying many hair-like strands of black mist.
These black mists seemed alive, continuously pouncing towards the surrounding figures.
"The Demon-Sealing Tower definitely has a major problem..."
"These clan members have been controlled. They couldn't possibly act like this on their own. The Ancient Ancestor's handwritten notes left back then were correct. This pagoda must not be opened; it would cause great trouble."
The Jing Clan's Patriarch and those elders had drastically changed expressions.
Although their cultivation and strength were profound and unfathomable, they all felt extremely troublesome and difficult to handle at this moment, hard to deal with.
Because those attacking to destroy the pagoda were all Jing Clan members, even including several Dao Realm elders.
These clan members' expressions had become furious and agitated, their eyes pitch-black and red, as if some force had bewitched their minds, desperately trying to destroy the Demon-Sealing Tower.
At this time, they couldn't kill their own clansmen. They could only try their best to stop them.
But this way, they became restrained and restricted, hardly effective at all.
Instantly, the place became chaotic like a pot of porridge. Surging light was everywhere, covering the sky, illuminating past and present, all falling upon that ancient pagoda.
And that ancient pagoda also trembled incessantly under such attacks, showing signs of collapse.
One must know, among these attacking figures, many were Dao Realm existences. In the palms of their hands, they condensed Great Dao vessels, bearing the sun, moon, and stars, with immeasurable light evolving, their might shaking heaven and earth.
Such a combined assault was enough to grind down and destroy any major world.
In their eyes, anyone obstructing them was an enemy, even if they were fellow clansmen; they paid no heed, their methods extremely fierce and ruthless.
Soon, casualties and screams erupted in various places.
"For no reason, why would this suddenly happen? What exactly is sealed inside this pagoda?"
Jing Xiang's parents were also utterly dumbfounded. Looking at the scene before them, nearly like demons running wild, they felt truly chilled to the bone.
The next moment, they had no time to think further. Transforming into divine rainbows, they rushed to where the Jing Clan Patriarch was, directly asking about this pagoda's origin and secrets in front of everyone.
In their view, the Patriarch and the elders had been doing their utmost to hide something, keeping it from the others.
And what they concealed was the root cause of all this.
Gu Changge glanced at their departing direction but didn't pay attention. He then turned and walked towards the Demon-Sealing Tower.
Jing Xiang snapped back to reality. Looking at Gu Changge's figure, he was momentarily stunned, then gritted his teeth and directly followed.
He also didn't understand why, for no reason, this heart-trembling, chilling scene suddenly occurred.
Now, the only thing he wanted to do was find the Ancient Ancestor and have him help resolve his curse problem, allowing him to become a normal person capable of cultivation.
