Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 923 - 34 Turmoil Arises in the Gray Domain
Chapter 923: Chapter 34 Turmoil Arises in the Gray Domain
Four Huanxu Realm Earth realm powerhouses joined forces to deal with a young prodigy who had recently entered the Cave Heaven Realm, but they met with disaster and died on the spot, leaving no intact corpses behind.
As this news began to spread, in an instant, the whole world was shocked!
This was no longer a matter that shook just Han State; it evolved over time, intensifying and showing a trend of spreading throughout the entire Gray Domain!
The Gray Domain is vast and boundless; countless beings, young geniuses, even the titans of the upper realms, such as the saints, all heard this news.
Everyone was astounded and terrified; even the emotions of those upper realm titans fluctuated, not knowing how Gu Chen managed to do it.
For a while, the name Gu Jiuge, because of this incident, spread throughout the entire Gray Domain again, causing everyone to engage in heated discussions!
This was truly unprecedented in history; across the entire upper realm’s thirty-six hundred domains, such a thing had never happened before!
Defeating four Huanxu Realm elders from another domain by crossing two major realm boundaries—it almost scared many people to death.
Even the popularity of Gu Yan, the ninth prince of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty being named on the gold list, was outdone, or rather overshadowed.
Everyone could not understand how Gu Chen managed to do it.
But after the initial shock, many did not believe it.
"A Cave Heaven Realm slaying a Huanxu Realm, such a thing is impossible even in a wild tale; it must be untrue, there has to be something odd about it!"
Now, many people in the Gray Domain believed this, thinking that this was not Gu Chen’s true strength, but rather that he had taken a shortcut.
"I know it now, this lad must be a disciple coming from a hidden sect, stepping into the world from seclusion, with a guardian following him at all times. It must have been the guardian who took action!"
As soon as this opinion came out, it immediately gained traction and was accepted by the public.
Even the members of the Frost Soul Sect all thought so, including Wind Gate and Night Spirit Valley.
Gu Chen knew they were all mistaken but had no intention of explaining.
"Wind Gate and Night Spirit Valley are in trouble; they truly kicked an iron plate this time," the people of Han State also discussed this matter.
After the fall of the four Huanxu Realm powerhouses, both Wind Gate and Night Spirit Valley wholly quieted down. Initially, they harbored some doubts about Gu Chen being a descendant from a hidden sect, and they also considered the existence of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty behind him.
But now, there wasn’t a shred of doubt left.
The demise of the four Huanxu Realm individuals was the best answer; even the fact that the opponent didn’t spare those from the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty showed their stance.
"The hidden sect behind Gu Jiuge is unafraid of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty!"
In the eyes of Wind Gate and Night Spirit Valley, this was a signal, making them wary. Since then, both powers have never again claimed that handing over Gu Chen to the Frost Soul Sect would end hostilities.
Even, deep down, Wind Gate was extremely relieved; it was fortunate that they had not dispatched an elder who had fused with an evil demon, for once discovered, scandal would arise and the entire Wind Gate would be in jeopardy of annihilation.
And it was since that battle, Wind Gate and Night Spirit Valley both completely calmed down, no longer daring to wage war against the Frost Soul Sect.
Because they dreaded the power behind Gu Chen, fearing to provoke the intervention of his master’s sect, the so-called hidden sect.
Moreover, being capable of causing the instantaneous fall of four Huanxu Realm Earth realm powerhouses, both Wind Gate and Night Spirit Valley believed that Gu Chen’s guardian must be extremely formidable as well.
Thus, a battle that had the attention of countless people ended rather abruptly.
It could be said that Gu Chen alone directly turned the tide of the battle, ending this strife among the three forces, a feat which was nothing short of astonishing!
Of course, only Gu Qingyan knew the risks Gu Chen had taken to achieve all this.
Had there been a mistake, Gu Chen would have had no chance of surviving; confronted by four Huanxu Realm opponents, he would have met with instant death, his soul shattered and dispersed.
What seemed an easy standoff was something that very few in the Cave Heaven Realm could achieve.
That day, in an inn within the state city of Han State, Gu Chen was indulging his appetite and also looking for the potential appearance of Cave Heaven Realm cultivators from the Yaksha Clan.
"It seems that the people from Night Spirit Valley have all gone into hiding," Gu Chen secretly used his Heavenly Eye ability to survey the land and sky, but he found no trace of any Yaksha Clan members.
That the fight ended this way was not to his liking; one could only say that Wind Gate and Night Spirit Valley had too lively an imagination.
The end of the battle excited the Frost Soul Sect, but Gu Chen himself felt it was average.
Moreover, now that the affair was settled, he also prepared to leave this place.
At that moment, suddenly, Gu Chen’s ears twitched, catching snippets of conversation.
"What do you think, who exactly is this Gu Jiuge and from which hidden sect does he come?" someone quietly asked.
"I don’t know. This person is extremely mysterious, possessing such talent. As the first among the young generation of the Gray Domain to be named on the gold list, the power behind him is definitely extraordinary," another replied.
Then, someone snorted softly and spoke, "Gu Jiuge is extraordinary, but I believe the ninth prince of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty is also quite remarkable."
At these words, everyone exchanged glances, but no one dared to speak.
After all, neither Gu Jiuge nor the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty were entities they could afford to provoke.
Then, someone else spoke up, "To know which of these two prodigies is stronger, it’s actually quite simple. Are you not aware? Soon, the entire Gray Domain will witness a grand confrontation among the younger generation!"
This was no less than explosive news; upon hearing this, countless people in the inn immediately perked up in interest, and so did Gu Chen.
