He actually didn't want to waste his breath, but at the moment, the majority of the Jing Clan's forces were gathered here.
If they were to personally destroy this tower, it would naturally be the best outcome.
Gu Changge estimated that Ling Yuxian was about to find the place where the ancestor of the Imperial Immortal Palace was trapped, and when that happened, she would undoubtedly insist on stopping them.
This, in turn, would only add more trouble for him.
From the very beginning, Gu Changge had wanted to remain an outsider, waiting to reap the benefits, but now it seemed he would have to take action.
Just as Jing Xiang's parents hesitated and struggled over Gu Changge's words,
many members of the Jing Clan in the distance suddenly took action, catching everyone off guard.
Energy surged, and divine patterns emerged one after another, resonating with the Great Dao of heaven and earth, borrowing the power of the universe to blast open the ancient tower that stood unyielding.
The commotion was immense. The entire universe trembled, the heavens and earth hummed softly, and countless strands of Dao aura intertwined, forming layers of patterns that descended together, capable of destroying heaven and earth.
This scene shocked many members of the Jing Clan present, who looked on in astonishment and disbelief.
Even the Jing Clan's patriarch and the several elders were visibly shaken. They hadn't expected that, despite their orders, some clan members would still choose to attack the ancient tower and attempt to destroy it.
"What's going on?"
Jing Xiang and the others were also stunned.
It seems I've underestimated this guy's methods.
Gu Changge, however, merely showed a hint of surprise before calmly considering the situation. He wasn't overly shocked.
If the one sealed within the Demon-Sealing Tower hadn't acted, he would have already taken action himself.
But now, it seemed that the one inside still had some tricks up his sleeve. After being trapped here for so many years, he had accumulated a deep foundation.
Such methods were already at an extremely refined level within the Six Desires Demon Dao, comparable to those Six Desires Heavenly Demons who were born to bewitch minds and disrupt order.
"All of you, attack! Destroy this tower and help me escape!"
At the highest level of the Demon-Sealing Tower, the black-robed old man's expression had turned maniacal. Wisps of black mist seeped out from his face.
Each strand of black mist seemed alive, twisting and screaming in the void, struggling to form blurry faces before rapidly spreading and diffusing from the top of the tower, as if trying to envelop the surrounding space entirely.
In the other seventeen levels below, many ancestors of the Jing Clan were also affected to varying degrees.
Some had black mist swirling on their faces, their expressions twisted as they let out roars, desperate to escape.
Their consciousness immediately influenced their direct descendants who shared their bloodline.
"Stop! Have you all gone mad? The patriarch has ordered that no one is to approach this ancient tower!"
"How dare you attack it? Do you want to open it?"
Outside the Demon-Sealing Tower, chaos erupted instantly. Many members of the Jing Clan, confused and alarmed, hurriedly tried to stop those who had taken action.
But now, few paid any attention. The eyes of those who had attacked were faintly shrouded in black mist, and they muttered to themselves.
"Our ancestors have been trapped here for countless years, suffering. How can you stand by and do nothing? You are unworthy descendants of the Jing Clan!"
"My grandfather is trapped inside. I heard him calling for me. I must save him!"
"This is no Land of Eternal Life. It's a prison, a hell that has imprisoned our ancestors for generations!"
The originally bleak and gray world now seemed to be swept by invisible gusts of dark demonic wind, carrying strands of black mist like hair.
These black mists seemed alive, continuously pouncing toward the surrounding figures.
"Something has gone terribly wrong inside the Demon-Sealing Tower!"
"These clan members have been controlled. There's no way they would act like this on their own. The ancient ancestor's notes were correct—this tower must not be opened, or it will bring great trouble."
The Jing Clan's patriarch and the several elders' expressions changed drastically.
Although their cultivation and strength were profound, they now found themselves in a difficult and troublesome situation, unsure of how to handle it.
Those trying to destroy the ancient tower were all members of the Jing Clan, including several Dao Realm elders.
These clan members' expressions were filled with rage, their eyes black and red as if their minds had been bewitched by some force, desperately trying to destroy the Demon-Sealing Tower.
At this moment, they couldn't kill their own clansmen and could only try their best to stop them.
But this made them hesitant and restricted, rendering their efforts largely ineffective.
In an instant, the place descended into chaos. Beams of light shot into the sky, covering the heavens and illuminating past and present, all converging on the ancient tower.
Under such an onslaught, the ancient tower trembled incessantly, showing signs of collapse.
It was worth noting that among those attacking were many Dao Realm experts, their palms and fingers condensing the essence of the Great Dao, carrying the power of suns, moons, and stars, with boundless light manifesting, their might shaking heaven and earth.
Such a combined attack was enough to annihilate any great world. In their eyes, anyone who stood in their way was an enemy.
Even if they were fellow clansmen, they showed no mercy, their methods ruthless and fierce.
Soon, casualties and screams erupted everywhere.
"How did this suddenly happen? What exactly is sealed inside this tower?"
Jing Xiang's parents were completely dumbfounded. Watching the scene before them, which resembled a chaotic dance of demons, they couldn't help but shudder.
In the next moment, they had no time to think further. Transforming into divine rainbows, they rushed to where the Jing Clan's patriarch was, directly questioning him in front of everyone about the tower's origins and secrets.
In their view, the patriarch and the others had been hiding something from everyone.
And what they had concealed was the root cause of all this.
Gu Changge glanced in the direction they had left but paid no further attention. Instead, he turned and walked toward the Demon-Sealing Tower.
Jing Xiang, coming to his senses, stared at Gu Changge's figure for a moment before gritting his teeth and following.
He had no idea why, out of nowhere, such a terrifying scene had unfolded before his eyes.
Now, the only thing he wanted was to find the ancient ancestor and have him resolve the curse, allowing him to become a normal person capable of cultivation.
