Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start
Chapter 989 - 74 Qingyun Academy

The Devil Cloud Thirty-Six Knights, after carefully plotting and successfully capturing Princess Xidie of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty from the spiritual realm, followed the path they had previously scouted. To their surprise, they suddenly encountered Gu Chen.

Both parties were momentarily stunned at the same time.

Chen Yan, who ranked twelfth among the Devil Cloud Thirty-Six Knights, was somewhat dazed. He had not expected that someone would appear here, especially someone covered in blood and looking quite disheveled.

As for Gu Chen, he was taken aback that as he walked, he suddenly came upon such a large entourage.

Moreover, one could tell at a glance that none of those dozens of people were easy to deal with.

The Princess Xidie inside the carriage, along with her maidservant, naturally could not escape Gu Chen's heavenly eyes; he saw them clearly.

In an instant, he somewhat understood what this group was up to.

However, Gu Chen did not want to meddle in others' affairs. The upper world was too vast, and it was inevitable to come across some incidents. As someone passing by without knowledge, of course, he was not clear on who was right or wrong. He would not intervene simply because the woman was exquisitely beautiful.

Therefore, Gu Chen quickly came back to his senses and, pretending to have seen nothing, thought of leaving from another direction.

But of course, Chen Yan would not agree, as he did not know who Gu Chen was, nor could he ascertain why he appeared in this place.

This mission was far from ordinary, and as cautious as he was, Chen Yan would not even allow a bird to pass by, let alone a living person.

The Princess Xidie of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty held such a high status that they could not leave behind any trace, or else, facing the wrath of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, the Devil Cloud Thirty-Six Knights had no chance of escaping unscathed.

Without delay, Chen Yan made a decision, waved his hand, and bellowed harshly, "Someone take him down for me!"

"Yes!"

In an instant, nine figures burst out from the group of dozens, all cultivators in the God Transformation Realm, charging towards Gu Chen with fierce expressions.

Seeing that his opponents didn't hesitate to attack, Gu Chen's brow furrowed, and he swiftly evaded, retreating to a distance.

"You can't escape, everyone attack, and slay him as quickly as possible!" Chen Yan watched Gu Chen, his face vicious, and said coldly.

The two sides had only exchanged glances, and the enemy was already seeking to kill him. Gu Chen certainly realized that these people were extremely unscrupulous, and anger also rose in his heart.

His frustration with the chase from the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty and the Jiuying Clan was already burning within him, and the failure of the teleportation, which nearly led to an accident, only fueled Gu Chen's fury.

"Ten in the Huanxu Realm, twenty-seven in the God Transformation Realm," Gu Chen used his heavenly view to instantly discern the true strength of Chen Yan and his men.

The Devil Cloud Thirty-Six Knights were indeed extraordinary. One should know this was only a fraction of their forces. Their main force, including their boss and others, were all contending with the forces of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty.

The fact that they dared to act against the colossal Holy Brilliance Dynasty, to some extent, demonstrated the strength and audacity of the Devil Cloud Thirty-Six Knights and the powers backing them.

"Someone?!"

Inside the carriage, Princess Xidie, who still had a slight sense of awareness, also noticed something unusual outside. She sensed that Chen Yan and his men had entered into a confrontation.

At first, her face lit up with joy, believing that the rescuers from the Holy Brilliance Dynasty had arrived. Just barely discerning this much was already quite difficult.

The specific appearance of the newcomer was something Princess Xidie could not detect at all.

Barely managing to hold onto this opportunity, Princess Xidie was extremely excited, praying inwardly that the newcomer could successfully rescue her.

At this moment, upon Chen Yan's command, all members of the Devil Cloud Thirty-Six Knights launched their attack at Gu Chen, ready to obliterate him in a single strike.

No matter his origin or background, having encountered them today meant bad luck for him—such was the thinking of Chen Yan and his comrades.

"Die!" Chen Yan roared, disbelieving that, faced with such powerful assaults, Gu Chen could survive.

Unless, of course, the opponent was an Earth realm master at the peak of the Unity Realm, but such figures usually held high positions and were not so easily encountered.

Besides, judging by Gu Chen's age, he did not seem to fit the profile of such a master.

Confronted with the situation, Gu Chen's eyes turned cold. He had no intention of intervening and wanted to simply walk away, but since the other party was pressing hard, he had nothing more to say.

Given that, Gu Chen was prepared to vent all the anger in his heart on Chen Yan and the others before him.

"Halt!"

Without another word, Gu Chen immediately brought out the Yuding, a large tripod with three legs and two ears, imbued with a sense of age and extraordinary heaviness. As soon as it appeared, it made Chen Yan and his men instinctively shiver.

Facing such a vast array, with ten in the Huanxu Realm and twenty-seven in the God Transformation Realm, relying solely on himself, Gu Chen surely could not withstand it and would turn to ash in an instant.

As the word "halt" was uttered, the power of the Yuding spread, and the dozens belonging to the Devil Cloud Thirty-Six Knights who were present were immediately frozen in place, like statues.

In that moment, space fluctuated, and they were unable to speak, unable to move, not even blink their eyes, immobilized on the spot, with only their thoughts still active in their minds.

"What… what kind of treasure is this?!" Chen Yan was shocked in his heart, as he, too, was immobilized.
