Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start
Chapter 1123 - 148: Various Parties' Strategy _3

Yuan Qian burst out laughing, then, with a glance, turned to Lu Xin and said, "Brother Lu, rest assured, since this Gu Bai is so unappreciative, I will deal with him. I will find a way to make him 'know when to retreat,' never to have a chance to contact Princess Xidie again!"

At this point, the young prince sneered coldly, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

One could say that in order to befriend Lu Xin, Yuan Qian went to all lengths, which were also the orders given by King Zhenan.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xin also smiled faintly, cupped his hands, and said, "In that case, I thank Brother Yuan greatly."

"Between you and me, brothers, why speak such courtesies?" Yuan Qian and Lu Xin smiled knowingly at each other.

Afterward, Yuan Qian turned to Red Phoenix and asked, "It's been some time since I have seen you, I wonder if Miss Red Phoenix's dance skills have seen any improvement?"

Red Phoenix immediately understood the young prince's intentions, with her sleeves fluttering and charming smile, she said, "Okay, then I shall give the prince a splendid performance tonight."

"Good!"

Seeing this, Yuan Qian burst out laughing, his eyes almost glowing.

…

Elsewhere, after having left the eighth floor of the Moon Fairy Tower and parting ways with Lu Xin unfriendly, Gu Chen did not choose to return to his residence, but started walking along the street.

He could already foresee that in this period, before the ancestral land of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty opened, he would be targeted from all quarters.

Because his appearance, or rather his presence, had affected many people's interests.

Among these were those who admired Princess Xidie, those who did not want Gu Chen to secure a spot, as well as those allied with the former two.

In the upper realm, there were many forces, so the network of relationships was also intricately complex; it could be that offending one person might actually involve a whole group.

There's no helping it, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, there are relationships, albeit unavoidable.

Saint Hua City, even at night, was extremely lively, so much so that it could be called a city that never sleeps; whether it be day or night, it was always bustling.

Countless streets extended in all directions, bustling with people, filled with constant traffic, citizens of the upper realm might not have talents, but due to environmental conditions, they all had a touch of superficial martial techniques.

Watching the throng coming and going in Saint Hua City, Gu Chen involuntarily thought of Tiandu in the Lower Nine States.

Both were imperial cities, but the difference was that Saint Hua City was much more grandiose and vast than Tiandu.

The Holy Brilliance Dynasty, compared to Da Xia of the Nine States, were fundamentally incomparable, even entirely beyond comparison.

"I wonder, what is the situation in the Nine States now, is everyone still doing well?" At this thought, Gu Chen could not help but recall his experiences in the Nine States.

Tower Supervisor, Ji Yuan, Wei Cang, Luo Xun, Chen Yu, Song Yu, and many others he knew well, he wondered how they were faring now in the Nine States, what the situation was like, whether it was stable?

Actually, Gu Chen rather missed the life in the Nine States because back then, when he was weak, at least he was a patrol envoy of the Jing Tian Department, backed by Da Xia, and not totally without support.

But now, having come to the upper realm, the situation was really different, and he could only rely on himself to struggle through.

While Gu Chen was lost in such reflections, suddenly, on the somewhat crowded street, four figures quietly approached him.

Perhaps because Gu Chen was reminiscing about the past, somewhat lost in thought, he did not notice at first.

Hiss!

The next moment, a cold light suddenly appeared, under the dark night sky, like four bolts of lightning slashing through, aimed at Gu Chen's body.
