Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start Chapter 633 462 Border Crisis, Chaotic World of Monsters and

```

Clearly, the barbarians had the sa idea as Bastu, the Da Yuan national teacher. They were all aware of the great calamity, and to deal with it, they intended to integrate the entire strength of the Nine Provinces. However, the greatest obstacle to this was now Da Xia.

After all, Da Xia was simply too unstable. Just the Tower Supervisor of the Qintian Monitor alone was no ordinary character, not to ntion the recent rise of King Huai, whose strength and tactics were also quite extraordinary.

Moreover, there was Gu Chen, whose na had been causing an uproar throughout the realm recently, making all of Da Xia's enemies wary and even fearful of him.

Not to ntion the two individuals from the Jing Tian Departnt and the Tower Supervisor of the Mingjing Departnt.

After all, these two had only disappeared, not died. Should great danger befall Da Xia, it was very likely that they would erge again.

Therefore, looking at the world at present, the power of Da Xia still far surpassed that of the barbarian tribes and Da Yuan; it could be considered among the front ranks.

Let alone the hatred left from the battle over twenty years ago which is why Da Yuan and the barbarian tribes were united against Da Xia.

"By the way, what is the situation in Da Yuan now?" High Priest Saranguis asked, as Da Yuan would be their opponent in the future, and he was very wary of the Da Yuan national teacher.

Yelanbar let out a cold laugh and said, "Without the Da Yuan national teacher, that Da Yuan Emperor Toumuer is nothing but trash. Da Yuan has already declined, and it's evident since such trash can beco emperor. He has already been so scared by that Marquis of Wu'an from Da Xia that now Da Yuan has completely sealed its borders, not allowing anyone to enter or exit. Obviously, that trash Toumuer wants to protect himself by playing it safe."

Upon hearing this, High Priest Saranguis frowned and said, "Although Toumuer is trash, Bastu is not. We must still be cautious of him. If it weren't for the likes of the Xia Emperor and others, Da Yuan may very well have been advancing triumphantly. Bastu should not be underestimated. He has been in closed-door cultivation for many years, just to break through to the Divine Intent Realm. If he succeeds, that would be troubleso."

The barbarian chieftain Yelanbar scoffed, "If my clan with the inheritance from our ancestors can't do it, what makes Bastu worthy? Presently, the ones with the Divine Intent Realm experts are only the six holy lands and that supposedly still-alive Demon Sect Leader Dugu Yun. However, these Divine Intent Realm experts are hard to co by. With myself and you, High Priest, our clan is more than capable of conquering the world!"

The High Priest Saranguis, upon hearing this, still frowned, clearly not as optimistic as Yelanbar.

"Let's set aside the matter of Da Yuan for now. Regardless, managing to eliminate a Marquis of Wu'an first and greatly weakening Da Xia's power is still a good thing," laughed Yelanbar heartily.

Hearing this, High Priest Saranguis also began to laugh, seemingly convinced that this ti, Gu Chen was dood without a doubt.

After all, there were four martial artists at the pinnacle of the Coagulation Field Realm arrayed against Gu Chen. If he could survive this, he would no longer just be a monstrous talent; 'defying the heavens' wouldn't even begin to describe him.

No martial artist could achieve such a feat, not even the Xia Emperor or Dugu Yun would be able to handle this situation.

...

Tiandu.

The next morning, early on, Gu Chen had already packed his belongings, placing them inside the Heaven Seed before leaving Tiandu.

After returning to Gu Mansion from the palace the night before, he had already said his farewells to his second uncle's family. Although it was hard to part, the family of his second uncle Gu Chengfeng had grown accustod to it.

Just as Gu Chen stepped out of Tiandu, having covered so distance, a familiar silhouette appeared again.

"Brother Gu, we et again."

"Gong Brother?" Gu Chen gazed at the newcor, his eyebrows imperceptibly furrowing.

Indeed, the person who had arrived was Gong Hao, the prodigy from the Five Elents Sect of the higher realms.

"I know what you are embarking on this ti, Brother Gu. As a mber of the Human Clan, I wish to offer my modest assistance to help you," Gong Hao said earnestly, clasping his hands together.

Gu Chen's eyes beca pensive as he quietly observed Gong Hao, without speaking.

Seeing his reaction, Gong Hao suddenly shook his head with a smile, saying, "Alright, I can't hide it from you, Brother Gu. I admit, I have my own selfish motives."

At this, Gong Hao looked seriously at Gu Chen and said, "The reason I offer my help is also to gain your favor, Brother Gu. After the battle at Qi Yun Mountain, I reported your situation to the higher echelons of my sect, and they took a great interest in you. They instructed to recruit you to the higher realms at all costs."

"If you could achieve such accomplishnts in the deteriorated world of the Nine Provinces, once you reach the higher realms, it would be like a true dragon ascending to the heavens. Your future achievents are unimaginable. The sect's higher-ups are very optimistic about you. If you have any demands, you can make them, and we will try to fulfill them. Also, Brother Gu, you can rest assured that in this operation, I will follow your orders throughout. Whatever you command, I will do. What do you think, Brother Gu?"

At this mont, Gong Hao looked earnestly at Gu Chen, his eyes unwavering, fearful of rejection.

Seeing this, Gu Chen slightly furrowed his brow but eventually nodded.

With Gu Chen's agreent, Gong Hao relaxed, a rich expression of joy spreading across his face.

The reason Gu Chen agreed was that he knew, even if he refused, Gong Hao would likely still follow him in secret.

By agreeing outright, he brought everything into the open.

If Gong Hao's intentions were genuine and he truly just wanted to help, Gu Chen naturally wouldn't have any objections.

If that was not the case, with Gu Chen's current power and now on guard, should Gong Hao show any sign of betrayal, he would strike first, ending Gong Hao's life with a lightning-quick attack.

Of course, the main reason was that Gu Chen could use this opportunity to learn a great deal about the higher realms from Gong Hao, which was the most important aspect for him.

In the ti that followed, Gu Chen and Gong Hao comnced their journey. anwhile, as the second heavenly alteration approached, the number of demons in the Nine Provinces multiplied daily. Without exaggeration, the situation in the Nine Provinces was deteriorating every day.

Luckily, since Gu Chen had annihilated several of the top forces in the jianghu, including the Arsenal and the Mysterious Pill Workshop, the strength of the Jing Tian Departnt had increased significantly, allowing them to cope for the ti being.

However, with the growing number of demons, the death toll among the populace was also slowly on the rise.

An era of demonic chaos and hardship was undeniably upon them.

And as ti passed, the situation would only beco more dire.

In this way, as demons continued to erge across the lands, on this day, Gu Chen and Gong Hao reached the boundary of Yan State.
