Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 627 - 459: The Dharma King Comes out of Retreat_2

"Good, the four of us will strike and kill this boy to ensure no failures!" At this moment, even the first Law King who spoke agreed.

"Very well," the remaining two Law Kings nodded.

"Once this boy is killed, Da Xia would collapse by more than half and become insignificant. Left with only one Tower Supervisor, who can't even leave Tiandu, we will be unfettered in capturing demons and devouring living beings. When the sect leader and the Holy Envoy emerge, seeing the expanded power of our sacred sect, they might even reward us."

"Right."

"Agreed."

At that moment, a cold voice said, "But, how should we lure him away? If we are in Shen Zhou, the Tower Supervisor of Da Xia would intervene at any moment."

The third Law King spoke in a deep voice: "The barbarians, let the barbarians lure him away from Tiandu. As of now, in the entire Da Xia, only Gu Chen can withstand the barbarians if the Tower Supervisor does not act. Using the barbarians to entice him to Yan State, we will kill him there."

"Good."

"When the four of us take action, killing him will be like slaughtering pigs and dogs!"

Swiftly, as there were no objections from the three, the matter was immediately settled on the spot.

In the pitch-dark room, sinister laughter arose.

An invisible and grim crisis once again swept towards Gu Chen.

...

Tiandu, Gu Mansion.

In the following three days, all was calm. Gu Chen spent time with his second uncle's family. Although his reputation soared after the battle at Qi Yun Mountain, with countless visitors seeking an audience, Qin Wu from the Jing Tian Department dispatched men to block them.

Now, Gu Chen's status was no longer the same as before. Even if he didn't want to meet them or felt unwilling, no one else had any say.

At this moment, Gu Chen stood in the courtyard of the mansion, aware that the current peace was just the calm before the storm.

Suddenly, the weather turned cold. Gu Chen saw that the originally clear sky started to snow heavily like goose feathers.

And with that, the climate of the entire Tiandu rapidly became cold.

Now, countless citizens of Tiandu were watching this extraordinary scene with astonished faces.

At this time of the year, it clearly wasn't the season for snow, but snowflakes were fluttering down nonetheless. Soon, the snowflakes melted upon touching the ground, and not long after, the streets of Tiandu were coated with a layer of frost.

"The second elemental disturbance has begun," witnessing this scene, Gu Chen's expression turned solemn.

"Big brother, is... is a disaster about to strike again?" His aunt Xu Qinge and sister Gu Qingyan suddenly rushed out from their room, looking at the scene before them with fearful eyes.

Regarding the first elemental disturbance, although a year had passed, they still had some memories of it.

That time, Da Xia, caught off guard, saw many, many people die.

But this time, with the forewarning from the Tower Supervisor, Gu Chen had already informed Ji Yuan well in advance, so the losses could be greatly reduced.

The first elemental disturbance almost emptied Da Xia's national treasury, and countless people died, almost leading to a riot.

If it wasn't for Gu Chen subsequently destroying many top sects in the martial world and Da Xia acquiring these sects' wealth, they wouldn't have as easily weathered the second elemental disturbance.

"It's nothing serious. Aunt and Qinyan need not worry," Gu Chen said with a gentle smile, soothing the nerves of Xu Qinge and her daughter.

Currently, Gu Chen was not only the pillar of Da Xia but also the pillar of Gu Mansion. With him there, Xu Qinge and Gu Qingyan had not a single worry.

"Hm?"

The next moment, Gu Chen frowned, then in front of his aunt Xu Qinge, sister Gu Qingyan, and Maid Xiao Yu, he disappeared instantly.

"Eh, where's big brother?" Gu Qingyan paused in shock, her clear eyes looking around, but there was no sign of Gu Chen.

At this moment, the Gu Chen whom Gu Qingyan sought had already arrived outside the gates of Tiandu, or rather, at the entrance of the city.

Here, the soldiers guarding the city were trembling with fear at the sight of the incredibly ferocious creature before them.

"Roar!"

This was a dark-level demon with wings on its back, equivalent to a martial arts grandmaster of the Human Clan at the peak of the Innate Realm. It was skin and bones with black energy emanating from its body. With the arrival of the second elemental disturbance, it, too, had descended to the Nine Provinces.

Coincidentally, it appeared just outside the gates of Tiandu.

Since the entire Tiandu was under the protection of the Tower Supervisor and enveloped by his domain, demons couldn't descend so easily.

Or to put it another way, if any demon were to descend, the Tower Supervisor could know instantly and eradicate it.

At this moment, the soldiers guarding the city became frightened at the sight of this dark-level demon, their legs giving out, and even the commanding officer who was responsible for their defense felt the same. Although he was a grandmaster himself, against a dark-level demon, he felt just as unstoppable and terrified.

"Block… block it! We cannot let this beast into the city!" Despite this fear, the commanding officer still prepared to leave the city to resist personally, gritting his teeth.

Whoosh!

Just then, a figure in black robes appeared in the sky above, looking down at the dark-level demon with cold eyes.

"Lord... Lord Gu?!"

The city's commanding officer and the soldiers, seeing Gu Chen, were immediately filled with ecstatic hope as the shadow of hope enveloped them again.

Not only that, even the common folk entering the city, upon seeing Gu Chen, cheered.

Clearly, after the battle at Qi Yun Mountain, Gu Chen had a high standing among the people.

"Roar!"

Seeing Gu Chen, the dark-level demon's ferocious eyes suddenly brightened, and compared to others, Gu Chen's presence was obviously more attractive to it.

With a whoosh of the wind, the demon flapped its wings behind its back and charged toward Gu Chen.

Bang!

Gu Chen, clothed in black and with loose black hair, had a stern facial structure and, facing the incoming dark-level demon, showed no expression as he threw a punch that immediately exploded the body of the demon, turning it into a cloud of dust.

Whoosh!

In an instant, Gu Chen's hand shot out like lightning, grasping the dark soul crystal. Releasing just a bit of his Triple Yang True Qi, a piercing scream was heard, and the dark-level demon was thoroughly dead.

And Qin Wu, who had just arrived, seeing this scene, also let his worries fall away.

"Lord Gu is invincible!"

"Marquis Wu'an is unparalleled in the world!"

"Marquis Wu'an! Marquis Wu'an! Marquis Wu'an!"

Seeing Gu Chen slay the dark-level demon that had struck fear in everyone with a mere wave of his hand, the people witnessing the scene couldn't help but shout out loud.

Qin Wu, upon seeing how popular Gu Chen was, also revealed a heartfelt smile, his decision in his heart becoming even more resolute.

"Perhaps, it's really time for me to step down," he thought.
