Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start Chapter 371 290 Territory2

By the ti Gu Chen returned to the Gu Mansion, it was already nearing evening.

After coming back, Gu Chen told his second uncle, Gu Chengfeng, and his family about the news of his fiefdom.

"What? Eldest brother, you have a fiefdom now?"

Gu Chengfeng, who clearly knew the difference between a noble with a fiefdom and one without, was shocked and said, "It seems like... His Majesty really values you now, and your desperate battle that day wasn't in vain."

For an elder like Gu Chengfeng, when referring to His Majesty, he was accustod to the previous Emperor Xia and sotis would inevitably misspeak.

"Yan territory? I've heard it's a nice place, close to the great sea, right?" Auntie Xu Qinge said.

"The sea?" Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyan's beautiful eyes lit up, and she said, "I've never seen the sea in all my years, big brother, can I go with you?"

Auntie Xu Qinge also looked at Gu Chen with longing, clearly, she was also sowhat tempted.

At this mont, Gu Chengfeng frowned and scolded, "You two ladies should not cause trouble here, Yan territory is far away in East Province, at a distance from Tiandu. If we bring the two of you along, who knows how much ti will be wasted on the road."

"Is that so..." Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyan's delicate and flawless face showed a disappointed expression, and she sighed softly.

Seeing the dispirited faces of both his aunt and cousin, Gu Chen smiled and said, "Could second uncle possibly make ti to co?"

Gu Chengfeng appeared surprised and asked, "Eldest nephew, what are you planning to do?"

"Let's all go to Yan territory together as a family outing. After all, auntie and Qinyan have probably never left Tiandu before, right?"

"Really, big brother? Can I truly go?" When she heard she could leave Tiandu, Gu Qingyan instantly beca extrely excited, her beautiful eyes gleaming non-stop and staring at Gu Chen.

Gu Chengfeng frowned and said, "This... Ti is not an issue, but East Province is quite far from Shen Zhou. Can your auntie and Qinyan, two ladies of the house, endure such a long journey?"

"Don't worry, we'll be alright." At this mont, Xu Qinge and her daughter Gu Qingyan, in unison, reassured everyone, then looked at each other and smiled, both blooming with allure like two sister flowers.

Even Gu Chen sincerely envied his second uncle Gu Chengfeng's good fortune for having such a beautiful wife and daughter.

The reason he had agreed was that Gu Chen had his own considerations. With his current fa in the world, his every move would be watched by countless people. If Gu Chen were to go to East Province alone, it would be clear he had a mission, and enemies might beco suspicious.

Qin Wu had asked him to investigate secretly and not to startle the snakes. Therefore, Gu Chen found an excuse to travel to East Province under the pretext of touring and inspecting his territory. Although he would still attract attention, people's vigilance would undoubtedly be much lower.

Of course, what was more important was that he saw Auntie Xu Qinge and his sister Gu Qingyan's longing for Yan territory. Even Gu Chengfeng, who held opposing views, actually wanted to go in his heart, as Gu Chen knew well.

"In that case, let it be settled. We will set off early tomorrow morning to Yan territory."

As Gu Chen spoke, he looked toward Gu Chengfeng and said, "Second uncle, do you need my help to speak with the Royal Sword Guard?"

"No need."

Gu Chengfeng waved his hand dismissively. Now, with Gu Chen's reputation, Gu Chengfeng had also beco famous among the Royal Sword Guard, his status elevated. Asking for leave would be exceedingly straightforward, and Commander Wei would agree willingly.

Consequently, everyone started to pack up tonight since they would spend a long ti on the road. Auntie Xu Qinge and sister Gu Qingyan, experiencing their first long journey, packed until late into the night.

When they woke up early the next morning, both mother and daughter had bags under their eyes, looking extrely tired.

Fortunately, with Gu Chen and Gu Chengfeng present, the second uncle personally expended his internal energy to invigorate them, and they imdiately perked up.

"Let's set off!"

With the command, the carriage slowly started moving, and following Gu Chen to Yan territory this ti were only Maid Xiao Yu and a coachman.

After all, soone had to stay behind in the Gu Mansion in Tiandu to keep watch and clean the dust daily.

As for a guard, with Gu Chen present, who needed one?

Soon, the carriage slowly exited Tiandu, and half a month passed.

Initially, upon leaving Tiandu, Gu Qingyan and Maid Xiao Yu were curious about everything, often sticking their heads out of the carriage to look around. If it weren't for Gu Chengfeng's strict orders, Gu Qingyan would probably have jumped off the carriage from ti to ti to enjoy the various sceneries along the way.

But as ti gradually passed, by the thirteenth day, after spending this period eating, drinking, and living in the carriage, Auntie Xu Qinge, sister Gu Qingyan, and Maid Xiao Yu all seed listless.

Gu Chen and Gu Chengfeng, being martial artists, were naturally unaffected.

As for the coachman, he was long accustod to traveling hardship and felt the sa.

"I told you not to co, but you insisted. Now you can't even take half of the journey, what are you two going to do next?"

Although Gu Chengfeng was complaining, he continued to transmit his internal energy to his wife and daughter, and their complexions gradually improved.

Seeing this, Gu Chen flicked his finger, and a stream of energy shot into Maid Xiao Yu's body, her complexion becoming rosy in an instant.

"Thank you, eldest brother." Xiao Yu's pretty face blushed as she spoke softly.

"Big brother, can't you take care of too? Father's healing is far inferior to yours." Gu Qingyan's pale face looked to Gu Chen pleadingly.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chengfeng's face instantly darkened. He huffed lightly but didn't say anything.

After all, now, Gu Chen's cultivation was indeed much higher than his.

Gu Chen saw this, a smile in his eyes as he flicked his finger again, and two streams of energy entered the bodies of Auntie Xu Qinge and sister Gu Qingyan.

Their complexions improved in an instant as well.

"Big brother is still the most powerful." Gu Qingyan bead brightly, regaining her usual vivacity.

When Xu Qinge heard this, she chuckled lightly with her lips pursed, clearly sharing the sa opinion.

Gu Chengfeng turned his head away, his face dark, without speaking.

At that mont, they all suddenly felt a palpable sense of dread, particularly the ordinary individuals Xu Qinge, Gu Qingyan, and Xiao Yu, who began to tremble involuntarily, a deep fear arising from the depths of their hearts.

Gu Chengfeng's expression changed in an instant, and he imdiately looked to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen furrowed his brow. He saw that not far away, a robust figure stood there, a long saber slung across his back, his aura extrely condensed, and his body glead with bursts of light.

This oppressive feeling and energy were unmistakably that of a martial arts grandmaster at the complete stage of the Hundred Orifices Stage.

The man was none other than the leader of the Heavenly Saber Sect, Yang Ling!
