Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start
Chapter 1026 - 94: Impersonation

"Several months ago, Princess Xidie was kidnapped by the Devil Cloud Thirty-Six Knights, and a mysterious strong figure rescued her. Now, this mysterious figure has finally appeared!"

After Gu Chen condensed his primordial spirit and successfully broke through to the God Transformation Realm, he emerged from seclusion and heard such rumors.

Of course, these words were all discussed in secret, but after his body had been reconstructed and undergone a complete transformation, his senses were too sharp. He inadvertently overheard the discussions.

This immediately caught his attention.

"Who is it? Where does this mysterious strong figure come from?"

As soon as this topic came up, it immediately attracted the attention of many people. After all, the incident had caused quite a stir when it happened. As far as the Lingyun region, the monarch of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty was so furious that he even sent an army across regions to surround and annihilate the Devil Cloud Thirty-Six Knights.

In this operation, the Devil Cloud Thirty-Six Knights suffered great losses, with several of their leaders killed. By leveraging their familiarity with the East Profound Region to hide and flee, they have managed to survive to this day without being wiped out.

Now, having heard that the long-sought-after mysterious strong figure had actually appeared, everyone was naturally very curious.

"It is said to be the greatest prodigy of the local colossal power in the East Profound Region, the Chen Xuan of the Yuexiao Sect!"

"What?!"

"Is it really Chen Xuan?!"

As these words came out, the people discussing this topic were all taken by surprise.

One person said, "Impossible, what realm of cultivation does Chen Xuan possess? It was said that the one who rescued Princess Xidie was an old monster, who used divine powers to suppress those villains."

"Yes, the Chen Xuan of Yuexiao Sect is indeed formidable, but how could he possibly possess divine powers?"

The crowd was skeptical, believing the claim to be fabricated.

The person who shared the news said, "Don't be hasty, let me explain in detail for you."

"Quick, tell us." The crowd urged.

"Here's what happened. On that day, Princess Xidie was taken by the Devil Cloud Thirty-Six Knights. Coincidentally, Chen Xuan from Yuexiao Sect and an elder from his sect, who was one of the Great Powers, happened to be passing by and witnessed the scene. It was the Great Power who took action and rescued Princess Xidie."

Someone asked, puzzled, "Then why didn't he come forward at that time, instead of waiting until now?"

This question was also the most puzzling one in everyone's heart.

If it was Yuexiao Sect's Chen Xuan who had rescued Princess Xidie, why didn't he come forward to acknowledge it at the time, and instead waited for so long?

The person who revealed this news explained, "According to Chen Xuan, he and the elder were tracking a demon that had emerged from Evil King Mountain at the time. It was merely a casual encounter, and given the urgency of the situation, they didn't think too much and simply left after the deed was done."

"A demon from Evil King Mountain has emerged again?!" someone exclaimed, a look of panic in their eyes.

The others frowned as well—this was not good news.

Evil King Mountain is a forbidden area for living beings in the East Profound Region. Whenever a forbidden area emerges, it invariably leads to various bloody incidents, and history has proven this time and time again.

"So, at that time, Yuexiao Sect was pursuing the demon and did not pay much attention to Princess Xidie. Later on, it was said that Chen Xuan didn't take it to heart, thinking it to be a minor issue, and hence he never appeared. But he didn't expect Princess Xidie to be so persistent in searching for so long."

"Moreover, Chen Xuan believed that it was the elder from his sect who took action, not him. This is another reason he never revealed the truth to Princess Xidie."

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.

"Chen Xuan is indeed noble; I greatly admire him," said a peerless individual.

"After the incident, Princess Xidie also investigated and confirmed that Chen Xuan had indeed passed by that area. She then brought a generous gift to Yuexiao Sect to thank that Great Power. After this event, the relationship between the Holy Brilliance Dynasty and Yuexiao Sect became much closer."

Compared to Princess Xidie finding her savior, the fact that Yuexiao Sect and the Holy Brilliance Dynasty were growing closer was the real significant event, with a very far-reaching impact.

After all, these were two colossal forces with the strongest individuals. Once aligned, they would bring significant pressure to other forces.

"Have you not noticed how close Chen Xuan and Princess Xidie have been lately? There seems to be a perfect harmony between the two."

"Oh? Is this true?"

"Could it be false? Once the two join forces, the relationship between Yuexiao Sect and the Holy Brilliance Dynasty can be said to be truly 'intimate.'

"Not long ago, I even saw Chen Xuan and Princess Xidie walking together not far from here. I found it strange at the time, but now it turns out to be for this reason."

"Really? Where, where?"

A group of people had their gossip fires burning fiercely once again.

"This Chen Xuan has indeed made a clever calculation," Gu Chen thought to himself upon hearing the full story, unable to help but be dumbfounded.

Not only had he become close to Princess Xidie, narrowing the distance between them with the hope of winning her over, but he had also made connections with the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, drawing the two great forces closer. It was indeed killing two birds with one stone.

No doubt, if this matter were to come to fruition, Yuexiao Sect would offer Chen Xuan significant rewards. At the very least, the position of the next Sect Leader would undoubtedly be his without any mistakes.

After all, the affection of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty's monarch for Princess Xidie was well-known to all.

Having saved Princess Xidie, the monarch would surely have a greatly improved impression of Chen Xuan. If the two of them truly ended up together, with the support of both the Yuexiao Sect and the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, Chen Xuan's future could indeed be said to be bright.
