Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Because the Tower Supervisor had to stay behind in Tiandu, looking across Da Xia, the only person who could deal with prison-level demons was, perhaps, only Gu Chen.

With Gu Chen's current strength and speed, once a prison-level demon appeared anywhere, he could rush there with utmost haste.

This was the best strategy that Gu Chen and the Tower Supervisor had come up with after consultation, in order to deal with prison-level demons.

Fortunately, due to the formidable strength of the prison-level demons, it was not easy for them to descend upon Jiuzhou.

One day, when Gu Chen could fluently integrate domains and achieve it at a thought, he went to the Jing Tian Department and conveyed the words the Taoxu Road Saintess Chu Yue Ling had told him to the Tower Supervisor.

"Tower Supervisor, do you know the whereabouts of the so-called 'heavenly legacy'?" Gu Chen asked.

Upon hearing this, the Tower Supervisor looked at Gu Chen and sensed his curiosity.

After all, it was false to say he was not curious about something that so many people in the upper realm were seeking.

He really wanted to know what it was.

"I don't know," the Tower Supervisor said, shaking his head under Gu Chen's scrutiny.

"It is that secretive?" Gu Chen raised an eyebrow. He did not believe the Tower Supervisor would lie to him, as there was no need to.

The Tower Supervisor nodded, his voice aged as he spoke, "This legacy pertains to something of great significance, shrouded in mystery. Even I do not know what it specifically is. Not even the Heavenly Human Gazing Skill can deduce it, only vaguely sensing some matters, such as the consequences of taking the legacy."

"That what she said, a legacy that will emerge on its own?" Gu Chen frowned, somewhat hesitant.

"That should be true." The Tower Supervisor nodded. He had divined with the Heavenly Human Gazing Skill and did not sense any danger in her words.

Of course, Gu Chen did not really think that Chu Yue Ling would deceive him. From their interaction, he felt she was not such a person.

But this was just Gu Chen's intuition. What the actual situation was still needed the Tower Supervisor's divination and their discussion.

"Of course, it's also possible that she can shield against divine calculation," the Tower Supervisor suddenly said.

Gu Chen nodded, understanding that the Tower Supervisor was cautioning him to be careful. When it came to the words of these upper-realm people, they could not be fully trusted. Gu Chen understood this principle as well.

"A legacy, meaning this legacy was divided into many parts?" Gu Chen pondered.

If possible, he did not mind exploring it with Chu Yue Ling. After all, Gu Chen was indeed very curious and wanted to know what it was that countless people were seeking.

He told the Tower Supervisor about his thoughts, who also expressed agreement.

"We could find an opportunity to contact her," Gu Chen said, nodding slightly.

Just then, it was as if sensing something, the expressions of both Gu Chen and the Tower Supervisor changed drastically.

All of a sudden, strands of black Qi began to emerge between heaven and earth, this black Qi cold and sinister, causing discomfort at a glance. The chill seemed to penetrate into the marrow, evoking an innate resistance.

"Demons?!"

Meanwhile, at this very moment, throughout the entire Tiandu, whether it was the inner city or the outer city, or even the imperial palace, billowing black Qi surged forth.

Without exception, all of these black Qi originated from demons!

At this moment, Emperor Ji Yuan was also staring in shock at this scene, the deep cold feeling penetrating his bones, making him shiver immediately.

"What's going on? Could it be?!"

Although he had never faced demons personally, Ji Yuan still possessed some basic knowledge.

"Quick, summon Deputy Commander Qin Wu of the Jing Tian Department to the palace!" Emperor Ji Yuan said urgently.

"Yes!" Eunuch Huang was also panicked and hurriedly scurried out.

"Has Tiandu, which had just calmed down not long ago, fallen into jeopardy again?!" Ji Yuan's complexion darkened to the extreme.

Soon, Deputy Commander Qin Wu of the Jing Tian Department arrived at the imperial palace.

"What has happened!" Emperor Ji Yuan asked in a deep voice, still clinging to a glimmer of hope until this moment.

Deputy Commander Qin Wu of the Jing Tian Department had an extremely grave expression. Taking a deep breath, he said, "Your Majesty, I bring dire news. A large number of demons have begun attacking the city!"

"What did you say?!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Ji Yuan shot to his feet, no longer able to remain calm, and urgently asked, "Demons attacking the city, how is that possible? Why are there suddenly so many demons assaulting Tiandu?"

Qin Wu saluted gravely and answered, "I have already sent people to investigate, and if there are no surprises... it should be man-made!"

"You mean to say, someone is manipulating the demons to attack Tiandu?!" Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan's expression immediately tightened.

What this implied was all too clear. Under the vast heavens, only the Six Union God Sect could command demons to take such actions!

"Could it be that the demonic sect leader Dugu Yun has come out of seclusion?!" Ji Yuan clenched his teeth, his fists suddenly tightening.

Qin Wu also had an extremely grave expression, his mood heavily burdened, unsure of the specifics.

Now, a large number of demonic auras had appeared, converging into vast tracts of black fog that almost enveloped the entire Tiandu. In the instant the incident occurred, Qin Wu had already dispatched every member of the Jing Tian Department to deal with it.

Ji Yuan took a deep breath and asked gravely, "How are the common people faring?"

"For the moment, things are under control," Qin Wu answered with a salute.

"For the moment, things are under control..." Ji Yuan frowned deeply. He of course understood what Qin Wu meant: In the short term, the Jing Tian Department could handle it, but over time, it was another story.

After all, the Jing Tian Department was limited in manpower, or rather, Tiandu was limited in manpower. With countless demons of various levels and numerous strong demons, as time passed, it would be very difficult for Qin Wu and his people to hold them back.

"Where are Gu Chen and the Tower Supervisor now?" Ji Yuan asked in a deep voice.

"In response to Your Majesty, Gu Chen and the Tower Supervisor are currently together, all within the Qintian Monitor."

...

At this moment, outside the city of Tiandu, the Red Lotus Saint Envoy Yang Nian and the Purgatory Saint Envoy Fan Yi stood high in the sky, overlooking the entire city of Tiandu.

Billows of black fog were rapidly emerging within the city of Tiandu, as one demon after another shuttled through the fog, slaughtering the lives of the people of Tiandu.

At the same time, as the black fog condensed from the black Qi, this sinister aura was also unbearable for ordinary people, and many citizens died on the spot after being invaded by this energy.

Whether it was the inner city or the outer city, the situation was almost spiraling out of control at this moment.

At the gate of Tiandu, all the soldiers on the city wall had died, and Purgatory Saint Envoy Fan Yi still had a bloody thigh in his hand, which he was chewing on, his mouth covered with bright red blood, looking utterly horrifying.

"The taste of the flesh and blood of ordinary warriors really is mediocre." Saying this, Purgatory Saint Envoy Fan Yi casually threw it aside, discarding it.

Red Lotus Saint Envoy Yang Nian smiled faintly and said, "In which case, you might as well directly absorb their blood and souls."

Fan Yi grinned and replied, "It's been too long since I indulged in flesh, I just wanted to taste it again."

Afterward, his face lit up with excitement. Pointing towards Tiandu not far away, he said, "Do you hear that? What a marvelous symphony of screams, filled with despair and terror, engulfing the entire city. Millions of citizens will soon die, hahaha, just thinking about it excites me."

A cold smirk appeared on the corners of Yang Nian's mouth as he, too, looked towards Tiandu, and whispered like a demon, "Tell me, will Gu Chen enjoy the 'gift' we've brought him this time?"

Fan Yi nodded, his savage smile broadening as he said, "I think, he will definitely be 'overjoyed,' and he will be extremely 'grateful to us'."
