Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

At this moment, outside the imperial palace, Gu Chen's overwhelming victory against Chen Xuan, the direct second-generation disciple from the upper realm's Pure Yang Martial Sect, left everyone astonished and agape.

However, in the next instant, the situation on the battlefield took a sudden and drastic turn down for Gu Chen, who had until that point had the upper hand and an imposing presence.

King Huai, Lin Feng, Yang Qian, and Mo Lun joined forces, advancing on Gu Chen simultaneously.

Witnessing this scene made everyone's heart tremble!

After all, these were four top martial arts experts at the great perfection of the Coagulation Field realm joining hands against one man, an occurrence that was exceedingly rare!

Although no one knew by what means Gu Chen had slain Chen Xuan, facing such a situation was without a doubt a dead end.

No one present believed Gu Chen could turn the tables.

Furthermore, King Huai was threatening Gu Chen with the lives of countless citizens of Tiandu, as well as those of his second uncle, Gu Chengfeng and his family, to force him to cripple his own cultivation.

It must be said that although there were some miscalculations in the earlier plotting, or perhaps an underestimation of Gu Chen's abilities, at this moment, King Huai still had the absolute upper hand.

"If you don't give an answer now, you'll have no chance. Not just you, everyone will die with you!" King Huai bellowed.

And Lin Feng, Yang Qian, and Mo Lun at this moment chose to remain silent, their gazes fixing on Gu Chen, applying pressure.

For in their hearts, the question lingered: by what means had Gu Chen killed Chen Xuan?

Lin Feng and the others unanimously believed that Gu Chen must have some sort of secret treasure; otherwise, he couldn't have achieved this feat.

At this time, Gu Chen's expression was cold, his intent to kill fiery and intense, causing the void to tremble, and the temperature of the place to rapidly drop as if ice crystals were emerging in the air.

"Hatred, dissatisfaction, killing intent?" King Huai looked at Gu Chen and chuckled, "Feeling indignant? Just as I said, you are too naive. Without Da Xia, without the Tower Supervisor, and without a backing, what do you have to fight me with?"

"Victor to the king, loser to the bandit, the overall situation is now set, and I have won!" King Huai declared with a triumphant laugh.

Clearly, he believed that Gu Chen had been driven into a corner.

"It's over!"

Yuan Feng and the others sighed softly, realizing that the events in Tiandu had come to an end with King Huai's victory. Subsequently, after consolidating the forces of Da Xia, King Huai would collaborate with Mount Tianzhu, Burning Heaven Valley, and the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, utilizing all their might to search for that no-world inheritance.

And for this reason, the Infinite Dao Sect, Sumeru Buddhist Sect, and Cloud Heaven Palace would lose the initiative.

"Senior brother!" Behind Yuan Feng, those disciples were becoming anxious; if this matter was not handled well, even if they went to the upper realm, they would surely face punishment.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the members of the Jing Tian Department, including Chen Yu and Song Yu, as well as Zhou Qing of the Mingjing Department, saw their complexions turn deathly pale upon witnessing this scene, with their emotions reaching a freezing point.

But at this time, Gu Chen suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Seeing Gu Chen's demeanor, King Huai instinctively felt a sense of unease.

"You say that the overall situation is set?" Gu Chen replied with a faint smile, his eyes brimming with killing intent as he stared at King Huai with a forceful retort, "I beg to differ!"

Hum!

The very next instant, starlight flashed across the area as two figures appeared there.

"Tower Supervisor?!"

Seeing the elderly figure with white hair and beard, King Huai could no longer maintain his composure, his pupils constricting as he exclaimed in shock.

"This is impossible!"

Even Lin Feng from the upper realm's Vault of Sky Sword Sect turned pale, not having anticipated this turn of events.

"Didn't you say it was almost certain?!" At this moment, King Huai was truly furious, his eyes nearly spouting fire as he glared at Lin Feng.

"I..." Lin Feng clenched his teeth, his fists tight, never having expected the Tower Supervisor of Da Xia's Qintian Monitor to actually understand formations!

"Tower Supervisor, you've finally arrived!" At this moment, Gu Chen turned his head and also looked at the Tower Supervisor.

He knew with the Tower Supervisor's methods, it wouldn't be easy for King Huai to restrain him.

"Let's have a fair fight then," the Tower Supervisor nodded slightly, his aged eyes undisturbed.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen felt the heavy burden on his heart lift, clearly indicating that the Tower Supervisor had already taken his second uncle, Gu Chengfeng, and his family to a safe place.

At the same time, King Huai also realized this point, his expression changing as he shouted in a deep voice, "Gu Chen, Tower Supervisor, don't make a mistake. Are you going to disregard the innocent citizens of Tiandu?!"

At this moment, both Lin Feng and Mo Lun also looked offended, having recently joined forces with King Huai in a battle against the Tower Supervisor, profoundly aware of the Tower Supervisor's strength and how difficult he was to deal with.

When Yang Qian heard that Gu Qingyan had been rescued, his expression also changed dramatically, glaring at the Tower Supervisor and demanding, "Old man, where did you send her?!"

In an instant, Gu Chen understood; Yang Qian was the extraordinary talent from the upper realm who had taken an interest in Gu Qingyan.

"I will slay you!" At this moment, Gu Chen's look was frosty and resolute, like ancient deep ice, as he fixed his gaze on Yang Qian.

"A barbarian from the lower realm, do you think you're worthy?" Yang Qian replied, unyielding.

Hum!

All of a sudden, along with a wave of the Tower Supervisor's hand, waves of starlight rose around the imperial palace, forming an immense barrier of light that enveloped the area.

"A formation?!"

Upon seeing this scene, the expressions of Lin Feng and the other visitors from the upper realm changed drastically as they struggled to believe that there was still someone in the lower Jiuzhou who understood formations.

Seeing this, the Tower Supervisor said indifferently, "I've spent decades in arduous cultivation, setting up this great formation around the imperial palace and another twenty years perfecting it, only now has it been completed."
