Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 917 - 31 Article 81 Tianmai_2
Because this grand battle involved a wide range of issues, engulfing the entire Han State, everyone was currently abuzz with discussion.
"By the way, Brother, something else happened over these three days," Gu Qingyan suddenly said.
"Hmm?" Gu Chen looked at his cousin with a hint of confusion.
Gu Qingyan had delicate features, bright eyes, and well-defined eyebrows; her nose was graceful and her teeth shone white. Her expression was somewhat solemn as she spoke, "The ninth prince of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, Gu Yan, successfully broke through to the Cave Heaven Realm and has even made it onto the Global Gold List. Now, the entire Gray Domain is abuzz with the news."
"Oh? Gu Yan broke through?" Gu Chen raised his eyebrows.
He had shared the enmity between him and Gu Yan in the Nine States with Gu Qingyan, so upon learning of the prince’s breakthrough, she had made it a point to inform him as soon as he emerged from his seclusion.
At the time, Gu Chen was holding the broken jade, immersed in a profound and unfathomable state of Dao, having isolated himself from the announcement of the Global Gold List, and thus was unaware of the news.
"If he’s broken through, then he’s broken through," Gu Chen said, not really caring much about it.
Hearing this, Gu Qingyan also nodded slightly.
"I’m going out for a bit," Gu Chen suddenly said.
After all, it is not courteous not to reciprocate. Since the target of Night Spirit Valley and Wind Gate was him, and the Frost Soul Sect had suffered not insignificant losses because of him, Gu Chen naturally would not stand idly by.
Moreover, having used such a precious elixir as the Breakthrough Pill, it would be unreasonable not to kill some people and earn some merit points.
"Alright," said Gu Qingyan, though hesitantly, she still chose to trust.
After all, Gu Qingyan was well aware of her brother’s extraordinary nature. As number one on the Stele, equal to the great being, the Ice Emperor, from the primordial era, this was proof enough of Gu Chen’s strength and potential.
Subsequently, Gu Chen left the Frost Soul Sect and made his way to the state capital of Han State.
In fact, when he was at the Frost Soul Sect, with his present level of sensory perception, he had overheard many discussions and learned about some of the things his sister had kept from him. freeweɓnovel.cøm
If the Frost Soul Sect sheltered him for a short period it would be all right, but over an extended period, inevitably some would have their own opinions about it.
After all, no matter how one looked at it, he was an outsider.
Moreover, Gu Chen preferred not to rely on others. He always believed that one’s greatest support was always oneself.
Upon arriving at the state capital of Han State, with his keen hearing, the first thing he heard about was the grand battle between the Frost Soul Sect, Night Spirit Valley, and Wind Gate.
"The Frost Soul Sect has been at war with Night Spirit Valley and Wind Gate for three days, both sides sustaining injuries. It is said that everything started because of Gu Jiuge, the genius who recently made it onto the Global Gold List."
"Being on the Global Gold List already demonstrates to a certain extent his strength and potential, which are extremely extraordinary across the entire Gray Domain. However, Night Spirit Valley and Wind Gate have made it clear, informing the Frost Soul Sect that hostilities can cease as long as they hand over this person. It remains to be seen how the Frost Soul Sect will choose."
"In these three days, this Gu Jiuge has not shown himself, and I am really curious about who he really is."
"What are you thinking? If you were in his shoes, would you show up? You have to realize, he’s the one who killed the most outstanding descendants of Wind Gate and Night Spirit Valley, seen by both factions as a thorn in the flesh, a splinter in the eye. If he dares to appear, it wouldn’t matter how extraordinary he is, his death is certain, especially given his young age."
"Indeed, I heard that even the elders of Wind Gate and Night Spirit Valley have joined the battle. If Gu Jiuge dares to show his face, they’ll strike him down with the wrath of thunder. Against those older figures, no matter how extraordinary he is, it’s useless."
"The war has just begun, and Frost Soul Sect has already suffered casualties. As time goes on, will they continue to protect a foreigner?"
Inside the city of Han State, everyone was discussing the war, and Gu Chen realized why Gu Qingyan had seemed hesitant before he left. He hadn’t expected that even the elders of the two major forces were targeting him.
Normally, the clash of the younger generation would not involve the older figures, but due to the deaths of Ding Dai and Night Mo, Wind Gate and Night Spirit Valley had gone mad. Despite the criticism of the world, they were determined to kill Gu Chen.
At this moment, someone said, "Do you know that Gu Jiuge’s background is also quite extraordinary? It’s almost certain that he is the descendant of a reclusive lineage who has come down from the mountain. Such a person might have some last resort."
"I’m afraid it won’t be peaceful in Han State for a while. With the three whales at war, what shall we, the small fish and shrimp, do?" A martial artist spoke with a long sigh, the confrontation of the three strongest forces in Han State had far-reaching effects. Being inadvertently involved could lead to a complete destruction.
Hearing this, someone else suddenly said, "Speaking of reclusive lineages, it reminds me that not long ago, a descendant of one such lineage went to the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty. It is said that he got along very well with Gu Yan, the ninth prince who had just broken through to the Cave Heaven Realm."
At these words, many people became interested and asked eagerly, "Which reclusive lineage is it?"
The person who had spoken thought for a long time before finally answering, "I’m not too sure myself, as hidden lineages are quite mysterious. According to what the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty has disclosed, it seems to be called something like ’Spirit Path Mountain’?"
The crowd was somewhat at a loss, as they didn’t know much about this lineage. After all, such hidden lineages kept a low profile, and information about them was not something ordinary martial artists would know.
"Speaking of the ninth prince, Gu Yan, he broke through to the Cave Heaven Realm and has just been listed on the realm’s golden rankings. The ruler of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty was overjoyed. It won’t be long before he enters the Eastern Palace."
"It’s very likely, almost a sure bet. You have to know, that ninth prince has an exceptional talent, truly rare in the Gray Domain. Upon his first breakthrough, he directly condensed forty-nine heavenly meridians, which fits the number of heaven derivation!" Someone revealed a secret.
Gu Chen’s expression changed slightly when he heard this. It seemed that after Gu Yan’s breakthrough, the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty had already started promoting his achievements.
"What?! He condensed forty-nine heavenly meridians right after his breakthrough?!" Numerous people exclaimed in shock upon hearing this news.
An elder spoke with emotion, "It seems that this ninth prince of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty is truly a dragon among men, born with extraordinary abilities. Originally, the Human Clan of the Gray Domain was weak, with no one named on the golden rankings, but now two have emerged in rapid succession, truly a blessing for our Human Clan."
The crowd nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
At this point, someone asked curiously with a mysterious air, "What do you think, between the ninth prince of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty and Gu Jiuge, the recently ranked descendant of the reclusive lineage, who is more outstanding?"
"This..." As soon as this question was raised, the crowd hesitated for a moment.
Suddenly, someone spoke up, "I have full confidence in the ninth prince. After all, he’s the one who condensed forty-nine heavenly meridians immediately upon his breakthrough. Such rarity is seldom seen in the Gray Domain, let alone in the entire Upper Realm. While Gu Jiuge is also on the realm’s golden rankings, he may not be as exceptional as the ninth prince."
Hearing this, some people nodded. Indeed, meeting the number of heaven derivation was extraordinary and rare, even in the Upper Realm, showcasing Gu Yan’s potential and talent.
Naturally, there were also some who disagreed.
"There’s no need to rush. Do you know that the entire Gray Domain will soon be upended by a whirlwind? All the geniuses and freaks will converge together!" Suddenly, someone disclosed shockingly.
