Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start Chapter 862 - 862 602 The Final Gathering2

862: Chapter 602: The Final Gathering_2 862: Chapter 602: The Final Gathering_2 Although Commander Wei, Luo Xun, and the Tower Supervisor all solemnly swore that Gu Chen would definitely encounter no accidents and expressed great confidence in him, in reality, the three of them were also worried.

After all, they had witnessed Huang Yun’s strength firsthand, which was so formidable that even they could not guarantee that Gu Chen would definitely be his match.

Moreover, considering the opponent ca from the Upper Realm, there was a chance he possessed so unfathomable abilities that could perhaps overwhelm Gu Chen.

Therefore, before Gu Chen returned, they truly couldn’t be completely at ease.

As they waited anxiously with tense expressions, finally, a flash of light illuminated the great hall, and Gu Chen’s figure appeared; he had returned from Mo State.

“That’s wonderful!”

Seeing Gu Chen appear, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their bodies and minds relaxing, with a layer of fine sweat beads erging on their backs due to extre tension.

“How did it go?” At this mont, the young Emperor Ji Yuan of Da Xia asked anxiously.

Hearing this, Gu Chen smiled slightly and said, “I have fulfilled my duties.

Your Majesty can from now on govern the world in peace, and no one will cause chaos again.”

“Really?!”

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan’s face imdiately lit up with great excitent, trembling with emotion and his complexion exceptionally flushed.

At this ti, behind Gu Chen, the light flickered, and a row of figures appeared.

The cultivation levels of these people ranged from the Divine Intent Realm to the Heavenly Human Realm, each standing expressionless, all of them puppets.

“After I leave, these puppets will obey your command, as well as yours, Commander Wei.

They will take my place in guarding the nine provinces,” Gu Chen used the Reincarnation Seal technique to enhance the puppets’ obedience to Ji Yuan and the others’ commands.

“You’re leaving?”

Hearing this, Ji Yuan and the others erged from their recent excitent, their expressions turning sowhat somber.

Gu Chen nodded and said, “I need to ascend to the Upper Realm.

My uncle and Qinyan’s family are all there; I cannot be at ease.”

“That’s true.” At this ti, the white-haired and bearded Tower Supervisor spoke with a touch of emotion, “With your talent, you would indeed be buried in the nine provinces.

The vast and boundless world of the Upper Realm is your true destination.”

Commander Wei and Luo Xun exchanged glances and said, “We aren’t leaving for the ti being.

Having been away from the Yan State for so many years, we wish to spend so ti here.”

Now that Heavenly Earth Passage was absolutely not easy to leave, Commander Wei and Luo Xun were naturally aware.

Although they were at the Heavenly Human Realm, they were still far too inferior compared to Gu Chen.

Therefore, they did not wish to accompany Gu Chen and slow him down.

At this ti, Ji Yuan cast aside his recent lancholy and, looking at Gu Chen, laughed and said, “Since you’ll be departing, let’s hold a grand banquet before you go as a way to thank you for everything you’ve done for the nine provinces.”

“This…” Gu Chen was about to decline, but Commander Wei, Luo Xun, and even the Tower Supervisor along with Qin Wu all spoke up, agreeing with Ji Yuan’s idea.

Seeing this scene, Gu Chen did not want to dampen the mood and agreed with a smile.

Soon, the news spread and when people heard that the Martial King had intervened, with all the Heavenly Human Realm beings that ca from the lower realm being quelled, the world was abuzz, the lands beneath the heavens were in a tumult, and the nine provinces were stirred, all shouting the title of Gu Chen the Martial King.

The previously low spirits of the people across the world were instantly uplifted.

The people knew that from now on, the world would enter an era of peace, war and chaos would vanish, and even demons and ghosts would no longer appear.

Moreover, with Commander Wei and Luo Xun, along with the puppets left by Gu Chen in place, it would be nearly impossible for any turmoil to rise again in the world.

Unless another person like Gu Chen erged.

But that seed even less likely.

At the sa ti, in a more private scope, the news of Gu Chen’s departure spread, and many people associated with him beca aware of this information.

Within Tiandu, for example, Chen Yu, Song Yu, even Zhou Qing of the Mingjing Departnt, and Lu Xinlan of the Duke’s Mansion in the Liang State, and so on.

In the martial world, there were top forces such as the Yao Platform Sect, the Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Sect, the Canghai Sect, as well as all the commanders and governors of the Jing Tian Departnt, among others.

On this day, Emperor Ji Yuan held a banquet in the imperial palace to entertain the heroes from all corners.

Everyone who received an invitation ca, making it a gathering with not a single seat empty.

All these people had once interacted with Gu Chen; they were his old friends.

Especially Chen Yu and Song Yu, with whom Gu Chen had a long conversation, both parties were deeply moved.

It could be said that in the early stages of Gu Chen’s cultivation, Chen Yu had provided him with great help, and Song Yu was even his first close and good friend.

They shared life and death, endured hardships together, and experienced a lot.

No matter what, neither of them could have imagined that Gu Chen would ultimately reach this step, and their association with Gu Chen had beco their most proud experience.

“This cup of wine is a tribute to Wang Yan!” they said solemnly as the three of them poured a cup of wine on the ground as an offering to their once close friend, who was also a subordinate of Chen Yu.

Before long, Lu Xinlan also arrived.

Once, Chen Yu had thought of pairing her with Gu Chen, but now that they t again, things were no longer the sa.

In the entire Jiuzhou, there was no longer any woman who could match Gu Chen, and Lu Xinlan no longer entertained such a thought.

However, after seeing Gu Chen, Lu Xinlan found it difficult to take interest in any other man in her lifeti.

LiuLuo from the Yao Platform Sect, together with Zhang Zining, Zhang Yining, Yu Qiushi, and others, also ca to have a drink with Gu Chen, as did the Wang Shuhang brothers and Wang Jiuzhi, Commander of the Heavenly Tier Forces of the Jing Tian Departnt from Yan State, and Yan Qing, the Guardian Commander.

Throughout his journey across Jiuzhou, although Gu Chen had faced countless challenges, he also made many close friends along the way.

Even though his growth was too rapid for them to keep up with his pace, Gu Chen still held them in high regard deep in his heart.

Even Zhou Qing, who had helped Gu Chen in the early days, was rembered by him, and Zhou Qing’s father, Zhou Rang, the head of the Zhou family from Ning City, was also present today.

Among the crowd, Zhou Rang was the most moved, as he had never imagined that the young man he had once thought highly of would, in just a few years, reach this height, overwhelming him with a flood of sentints.

“Brother Gu.”

At that mont, Luo Wenzhi, the Tower Supervisor of the Red Dust Tower, ca forward with his son Luo Feng, both of whom toasted with Gu Chen and chatted for a while.

There was also the elder Daoist priest from Dragon Tiger Mountain, the sect leader Cheng Ying of the Canghai Sect, and many others.

This banquet held before his departure was, in fact, a farewell party for Gu Chen.

The four-year experience in Jiuzhou, along with the two years of the spatial passage, left a deep impression on Gu Chen.

Every friend he made along the way was etched into his mory.

Everyone was sighing with emotion, deeply moved.

Their encounters with Gu Chen would accompany them throughout their lives, becoming the most precious and unforgettable treasures for these people.

Now, Gu Chen stood at the very peak of Jiuzhou, the most dazzling figure that the land had ever seen, unmatched across Jiuzhou from ancient tis to the present.

Peace throughout the land was all because of one man, Gu Chen!

He pacified barbarian tribes, destroyed the Great Yuan, eradicated demon cults, killed monsters, broke through sacred grounds, and slew beings from higher realms.

Each and every one of these feats was legendary.

For others, having experienced just one would have been a fortune in a lifeti, but Gu Chen had achieved them all.

For those who were very familiar with Gu Chen’s experiences, there wasn’t a single one who didn’t revere him.

They knew full well the difficulties faced by Gu Chen, who could be said to have led Jiuzhou to its present state single-handedly.

“Co on, let’s drink!”

Everyone who ca knew that this was their last eting with Gu Chen; it was virtually impossible that they would see him again.

“To know the Martial King is the greatest honor of our lives!”

“To Gu Chen, to Jiuzhou, to Da Xia, cheers!”

“From now on, as the jianghu fades into the distance, may we et again if fate allows!”

In the end, the atmosphere at the banquet grew livelier and livelier.

Everyone gathered together, joyfully mingling, with laughter unceasing and glasses clinking repeatedly.

Eventually, even Emperor Ji Yuan drank too much and beca tipsy.

On such a night, when Gu Chen reunited with old friends, it was also his happiest, most relaxed night since arriving in Jiuzhou.

At the sa ti, it was his last night in Jiuzhou.

Joyful tis always slip away when one least expects it.

That night, many people drank too much and shed tears.

Ti passed in just this way until the next day arrived, the ti when Gu Chen was set to leave.
