Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Gu Bai, unrivaled in a hundred domains — these five characters swept through the world like a raging storm, spreading at an incredible pace.

Saint Hua City was vast, the most famous and formidable city in the spiritual realm. Yet, no sooner had the cultivators who entered the ancestral grounds emerged than the news spread instantly throughout the entire city.

Unrivaled in a hundred domains, these four characters carried enormous weight. Even the most ordinary of cultivators understood what they signified.

It could be said that the deaths of Lu Xin and the other four major demons had thoroughly established Gu Chen's notoriety. It wouldn't take long before his name would be known across hundreds of realms and even more remote distances, feared by countless prodigies and demons!

Indeed, it might even draw the attention of inheritors from the immortal sects and the top ten demons!

"This Gu Bai has really got some nerve to just kill the five demons like Lu Xin, each backed by at least two supremely powerful beings. He's too daring!"

"Five major demons? It's more than that. It's said that one of them was the eldest son of King Zhenan!"

"Hiss! The eldest son of King Zhenan?!"

"Unrivaled in a hundred domains, though celebrated throughout the world, this Gu Bai doesn't have much longer to live, unless a disciple from an immortal sect stands up for him. But how could that be possible?"

Knowing the course of events, countless people shook their heads, realizing that Gu Chen's life was surely in great peril.

On the other hand, as soon as the Seven Stars Sect and the other four great forces received this news, Great Powers immediately prepared to capture Gu Chen, perhaps even to kill him on the spot.

In no time, several Great Powers arrived at Moon Fairy Tower with a menacing presence, causing the Tower's manager to change color and hastily come out to welcome them in person.

However, the Great Powers of the five great forces were solemn and did not take any notice. After searching and not finding Gu Chen, their expressions darkened even more.

Lu Xin and the other four had traveled a great distance to participate in the Holy Brilliance Dynasty ancestral grounds trial, naturally accompanied by powerful beings.

Upon learning the news, the strong ones from the five great forces were furious. They found out that Gu Chen had been staying at the Moon Fairy Tower first thing, but to their surprise, they drew a blank.

"This affair with the Fire Crow Clan will not end until Gu Bai is dead!" said a red-eyebrowed elder from the Fire Crow Clan solemnly.

Beside him, a middle-aged man in a purple robe exuding an aura of destruction spoke coldly, "Heavenly Thunder Sect likewise will not let this go!"

"Mo Chen's death mandates an explanation from the Holy Brilliance Dynasty. And as for the instigator, Gu Bai, he must die!" asserted a Dragon Sparrow Clan Great Power through clenched teeth.

"This matter will be reported to the Seven Stars Sect. If not handled properly, envoys from the Ten Thousand Stars Palace might just arrive!" The Seven Stars Sect's Great Power had the most confidence, backed by the immortal Ten Thousand Stars Palace, he spoke with firmness, subtly threatening the Holy Brilliance Dynasty.

"Gu Bai must be torn limb from limb by my Azure Gold Night Demon Clan!" hissed a green-skinned, exceedingly ugly man.

Yes, they believed the Holy Brilliance Dynasty was responsible for the incident in the spiritual realm and needed to help them capture Gu Chen and execute him immediately.

As for Qingyun Academy? Not a single one of the five great forces gave it any consideration; it was only protected by one supremely powerful being after all. Even the comparatively weaker Fire Crow Clan had two supremely powerful beings within it, so why would they fear Qingyun Academy?

"The Holy Brilliance Dynasty must give us an explanation!" The five Great Powers made their stance known in front of Moon Fairy Tower, clearly addressing the Emperor, holding the moral high ground. Even if the Emperor was a supremely powerful being, he could not possibly do anything to them.

If he did, it would be tantamount to the Holy Brilliance Dynasty declaring war against the five great forces simultaneously. No matter how powerful, that would be impossible.

The manager of Moon Fairy Tower gave a bitter smile, feeling a mix of alarm and relief. He too was a Great Power and was extremely grateful that Gu Chen had left in time.

If the five Great Powers were enraged, Moon Fairy Tower feared it would be destroyed.

Although Moon Fairy Tower was Saint Hua City's premier establishment with extraordinary backing, faced with a coalition of the five great forces, even the Holy Brilliance Dynasty had to yield ground, let alone a mere tavern.

The appearance of the five Great Powers and their vow to slay Gu Chen was also rapidly spreading throughout the entire city. Countless individuals were looking forward to seeing how this enormous controversy would ultimately conclude.

Of course, as for Gu Chen's fate, many had resolved that his death was certain and beyond alteration.

The Holy Brilliance Dynasty and Qingyun Academy wouldn't be able to protect him unless an immortal sect stepped in, which was also deemed unlikely.

If it had been known that Gu Chen had such background, Lu Xin and the others wouldn't have dared to provoke him in the first place.

...

Inside the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, in the palace.

As the supremely powerful Emperor of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, he was naturally the first to be informed of everything happening within the city.

Yan Ming, the head of the imperial guards, also heard what the five Great Powers said in front of Moon Fairy Tower, and his face subtly changed as well.

Should the Seven Stars Sect, Dragon Sparrow Clan, Heavenly Thunder Sect, Azure Gold Night Demon Clan, and Fire Crow Clan join forces, it would be troublesome for the Holy Brilliance Dynasty.

If this matter was not resolved properly, it could indeed spark a major disaster.

"Your Majesty..." said Yan Ming, looking worriedly toward the Emperor of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty.

At this moment, the Emperor was still turned away from him, silent, while Princess Xidie and the Ninth Prince had been kneeling outside for a good half-hour.
