Chapter 1501: Dao Realm Existence Appears, Unspeakable Feeling of Uneasiness

“Do you really think you have the strength or the background to stand against me? You clearly don’t know how to value your life.”

Chu Xiao ascended into the sky, his luxurious brocade robe fluttering in the wind as he sneered, a smug expression settling on his face. The divine cauldron, now suspended above him, no longer descended but hung in mid-air, radiating an overwhelming divine light like a waterfall, bathing him in a celestial glow, making him appear like a young god.

“But to be honest, Fourth Sister’s cauldron really is handy,” he mused, his voice laced with pride. “She fashioned it after her own weapon and gifted it to me. I don’t use it often, but it’s more than enough to handle this guy today.”

Chu Xiao glanced across the ruins of Lin Shuixuan, now shrouded in dust and debris, and the mocking glint in his eyes deepened. His fourth sister, while not the most powerful among his siblings, doted on him the most. She had crafted this powerful forbidden weapon just for him, sparing no effort or resources.

Without needing to fully activate it, this weapon, in its mere sacrifice, could threaten even those at the Dao realm. And against common opponents, it was overwhelmingly destructive.

In the distant sky, numerous figures hovered, glaring at Chu Xiao with expressions of fear and anger. These were the cultivators who had managed to flee in time. If they had been even a second slower, they would have perished in the devastation just like the others.

“Who is this madman? He almost leveled Lin Shuixuan, and countless disciples from prestigious sects were just killed!”

“Does he plan to turn Zigui City upside down?”

“How can such a dangerous forbidden weapon be entrusted to a lunatic like him? Which force raised this menace?”

Further away, many onlookers were trembling with fear, shocked by the sheer devastation they had just witnessed. Even some quasi-immortal emperors who had been in seclusion were stirred awake, their expressions grave, sensing the dangerous aftermath.

But despite their dismay, no one dared to intervene. The power of this forbidden weapon was no trivial matter, and to stand against it meant courting death.

In the eyes of the surrounding cultivators, Chu Xiao appeared like a reckless child wielding an apocalyptic weapon, one that could easily obliterate an entire city. His actions were purely driven by his whims, showing no regard for consequences or those around him.

Completely ignoring the fearful looks from the spectators, Chu Xiao snapped open his folding fan with a sharp flick, resuming his usual nonchalant and cynical demeanor.

“Antagonizing me leads to this,” he stated arrogantly.

In his mind, Gu Changge was likely around the same age, and it seemed impossible that anyone could withstand the power of his divine cauldron. Anyone without powerful protection would surely meet the same fate as the countless cultivators just moments ago—reduced to dust, their bodies and Dao obliterated.

However, Gu Changge’s calm and unhurried voice suddenly pierced through the smoke and ruins of Lin Shuixuan. His tone was as composed as ever, almost mocking in its lightness, causing the smile on Chu Xiao’s face to freeze.

“Oh? Using a Dao Realm forbidden weapon gives you the confidence to massacre innocent cultivators at will?” Gu Changge’s voice carried a hint of ridicule. “Is that the extent of your ability?”

Chu Xiao’s expression darkened instantly. The fact that Gu Changge was still alive left him stunned. He glared coldly, preparing to summon the divine cauldron once again, determined to crush Gu Changge entirely this time.

“You’re still alive?” Chu Xiao’s voice dripped with disbelief and frustration.

“With just that much, you thought you could kill me?” Gu Changge chuckled softly, as if he had heard an amusing joke. Despite the chaos surrounding him, he stood unharmed, as though an invisible barrier separated him from the destruction, shielding him from both heaven and earth’s forces.

When the violent explosions touched the invisible barrier surrounding Gu Changge, they dissipated like harmless ripples, soundlessly dissolving into the air. Behind him, the girls from Lin Shuixuan and the surviving disciples of the Great Sect, who had narrowly escaped death, stood in shock, their hearts still pounding with fear. If not for Gu Changge’s protection, they would have perished in the chaos.

Gratitude filled their gazes as they looked toward Gu Changge. Even Madam Liu, who had been overwhelmed by the devastation, was filled with fear and horror. She never imagined Chu Xiao would be so merciless, willing to destroy even Lin Shuixuan in his rage.

“Thank you, sir,” some murmured, their voices filled with relief and appreciation.

Despite Gu Changge’s swift actions, many disciples of the Great Sect had already been obliterated by the divine cauldron’s earlier assault, their bodies and souls annihilated in an instant. Those who survived realized just how close they had come to sharing the same fate. Filled with gratitude, they all began to thank Gu Changge.

“If it weren’t for your intervention, we would have all met a tragic end,” one of the disciples said, his voice trembling with relief.

Gu Changge responded with calm humility. “It was a small effort, nothing to thank me for. I only regret that I couldn’t save more. My subordinates weren’t quick enough to protect everyone,” he said with a slight shake of his head, his tone tinged with regret.

Hearing this, the surviving disciples’ anger toward Chu Xiao only deepened. Their hatred for him burned stronger, mixed with fear of his reckless cruelty. He had caused the deaths of innocents without a second thought, a crime they found unforgivable.

Chu Xiao’s face darkened, his frustration growing as he looked around at the guests in Lin Shuixuan—Yiyi, Madam Liu, and the others—witnesses to his humiliating failure. His pride demanded he eliminate them all to erase the shame they had seen. But he hadn’t expected Gu Changge to possess the power to protect them.

“It seems you do have some skill,” Chu Xiao said coldly, eyes narrowing as he prepared to strike again, intending to summon the divine tripod for a final attack. “But even so, what of it?”

Just as he was about to make his move, the air around him wavered, and the void blurred. A hunched, crooked figure with a wrinkled, aged face suddenly materialized in front of him, halting his actions.

“Master Xiao, let this matter go. There’s no need to escalate things over an emotional dispute,” the elderly figure said calmly, positioning himself between Chu Xiao and Gu Changge.

Chu Xiao blinked in surprise, momentarily taken aback. “Uncle Fu, why are you here?” he asked, recognizing the old servant who had served his father loyally for many years. This man, who had taken care of his father since youth, was not someone Chu Xiao expected to intervene now.

Seeing Uncle Fu’s arrival gave Chu Xiao pause, but his rage simmered beneath the surface, still unresolved.

Although Uncle Fu had no cultivation talent of his own, Chu Xiao’s father had repaid his lifelong loyalty by raising his cultivation base to the Dao realm using countless rare treasures. In Xian Chu, Uncle Fu was a revered figure, and even Chu Xiao dared not show him any disrespect. His father’s wrath, along with the collective disapproval of the family, would be swift and harsh if he ever slighted the old servant.

“Uncle Fu, so you’ve been here all along,” Chu Xiao said, a flash of relief and surprise crossing his face. Though caught off guard by Uncle Fu’s sudden appearance, the realization that the Dao realm expert had been nearby eased his concern. With Uncle Fu at his side, why should he fear anything?

But the old man shook his head slightly. “Young Master, today’s events have gone too far. There is no need to escalate this over a personal matter,” he said calmly, his voice carrying a weight of experience and caution.

Under orders from Chu Xiao’s mother, Wang Xuexin, Uncle Fu had been secretly trailing the young master to ensure his safety. Normally, he wouldn’t interfere unless Chu Xiao faced genuine danger. But today, to his surprise, the reckless behavior of Chu Xiao—caused by something as trivial as a girl from Lin Shuixuan—had triggered a dangerous conflict.

If Chu Gucheng learned of his son’s actions, he would undoubtedly punish Chu Xiao severely. The situation had already spiraled out of control, and if Uncle Fu didn’t intervene now, the consequences would become even more significant.

More than that, the presence of the mysterious man in white—Gu Changge—gave Uncle Fu an inexplicable sense of unease. This was no ordinary quarrel, and he could feel it in his bones.
