Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start Chapter 514 387 Supreme and Great1

Gu Chen had considered that, now as the acting Warden of the Jing Tian Departnt in Youzhou, with jurisdiction over an entire region, he had ample resources at his disposal to search for a soul crystal.

However, there were several points that Gu Chen had to consider.

The first point was that soul crystals are extrely precious and not commonplace. They have many uses, and not only did Gu Chen need them, but other commanders of the Jing Tian Departnt, as well as alchemists and weapon refiners, also required them.

The Jing Tian Departnt explicitly stated that whoever killed the demon-like creatures would own their soul crystals. Should he ask the whole of Youzhou to help him search for soul crystals, it would be tantamount to taking benefits from the hands of these martial artists of the Jing Tian Departnt, seizing their spoils of war, which may lead to dissatisfaction among so.

The second point was that such a large-scale search for soul crystals, even with an excuse, could not guarantee that so astute individuals wouldn't detect sothing amiss.

The current situation in the Nine Provinces was chaotic with powerful enemies everywhere. Gu Chen was not truly invincible, and he did not wish to expose his greatest secret before being fully assured of his situation.

Therefore, after weighing his options, Gu Chen deed the action unwise and abandoned the idea.

After his cultivation and martial prowess had both advanced, Gu Chen remained in seclusion within the secret chamber of the Jing Tian Departnt for a while before he directly ca out of seclusion.

As soon as he erged, Governor of Youzhou Leang Zhao received the news and ca searching for him with an urgent look on his face.

"Lord Gu, it's not good, sothing has happened!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen's eyebrows imdiately knit together as he inquired, "What happened?"

Governor of Youzhou Leang Zhao said gravely, "Just yesterday, two mysterious strong practitioners appeared in Sishui City, specifically asking to see you, Lord Gu."

"Mysterious strong practitioners?" Gu Chen's eyes flickered as he asked, "Were you able to find out their origins?"

Liang Zhao shook his head and replied, "No, even the intelligence organization of the Jing Tian Departnt could not trace them. There is no finding the roots of these two individuals; they seem to have appeared out of thin air."

"Oh?"

Gu Chen was sowhat surprised; even the intelligence agency of the Jing Tian Departnt could not identify the origins of these two individuals?

Given that they were called strong practitioners by the Governor of Youzhou Leang Zhao, their cultivation levels must not be weak; they were at least masters of martial arts in the Innate Realm.

"Go on and tell the details," Gu Chen said.

"This is the situation, Lord Gu..."

After that, Liang Zhao described the turn of events one by one in detail.

It turned out that just the day before, two mysterious strong practitioners appeared outside Sishui City. They walked through the air and circled Sizhou City several tis, a spectacle that was observed by the guards who imdiately reported it.

Two Innate Realm martial arts masters would be taken very seriously no matter where they were, and the city lord of Sishui City greeted them personally and brought them in.

After so questioning, they learned the purpose of these two mysterious individuals. They wanted to dig three feet into the ground around Sishui City, an act that the city lord clearly could not agree to. Yet not wanting to outright refuse and risk the mysterious strong practitioners turning hostile on the spot, he had no choice but to ntion the na of Gu Chen.

However, upon hearing this, the two mysterious strong practitioners demanded to see Gu Chen.

The city lord of Sishui City initially wanted to invite the two to the state city to et Gu Chen, but those two were quite arrogant, declaring that Gu Chen should co to find them instead.

With no other choice, the city lord of Sishui City could only report the matter upwards.

Liang Zhao said, "By the way, Lord Gu, those two mysterious strong practitioners are quite young, not much older than you."

"About my age?" Gu Chen was startled upon hearing this. Innate Realm martial arts masters of an age similar to his own?

For so reason, Gu Chen suddenly thought of the mysterious young woman he had encountered before, who was also about his age but possessed an extrely strong level of cultivation.

With the situation in the Nine Provinces, such individuals seed impossible to exist.

"Lord Gu, is there a possibility that they co from the Six Sacred Lands?" Liang Zhao asked, frowning.

He couldn't understand how martial arts masters so young could exist.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen shook his head slightly. It was unlikely that such individuals would co from the Six Sacred Lands. He speculated that these two might co from the sa place as the mysterious woman he had t before.

So, Gu Chen beca sowhat interested in these two mysterious strong practitioners.

"Well then, I shall go and et them."

...

Sishui City is a dium-sized city in Youzhou, not too large, situated approximately four to five hundred miles from the capital of Youzhou.

At this mont, two proud, distinguished-looking young n were sitting upright in a grand hall within the city lord's mansion, while the city lord of Sishui City stood waiting below.

"A day has passed, why has that Gu Chen not shown up yet?" one of the young n frowned, showing displeasure.

The city lord of Sishui City wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Given Gu Chen's current reputation in the jianghu, who would dare to call out his na directly?

These two young n were haughty and sowhat arrogant, blatantly calling out Gu Chen's na and demanding he co looking for them. Towards the city lord of Sishui City and others, they had a commanding presence.

Even the city lord of Sishui City, who sensed a dense disdain and repulsion in the eyes of these two young n, would have arrested these two fools earlier if they weren't martial arts masters in the Innate Realm.

"Our patience is limited. When exactly will that Gu Chen arrive? If he does not show up soon, we'll take action ourselves!" said the previously speaking young man in a stern voice.
