Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 533 - 399: Barbarian Tribe and the Great Yuan_2

Yelanbar nodded, having accepted the gift from the ancient demon gods, his strength greatly increased, as did the high priest’s. With the resurgence of their bloodline power, they both broke through to the next realm; even though Gu Chen was at the same level, he wouldn’t stand a chance against them.

"If given the chance, I will tear apart this so-called number one martial prodigy of the Nine States with my own hands," a fierce smile appeared on the barbarian chieftain Yelanbar’s face, and a bloodthirsty gleam sparkled in his brownish pupils.

Great High Priest Saranguis said, "The Nine States will fall into chaos, and we must plunder enough resources before the turmoil arrives, be fully prepared; otherwise, staying within the Hundred Thousand Mountains all the time, our barbarian tribe will face the risk of extinction."

Upon hearing this, the complexion of the barbarian chieftain Yelanbar also turned solemn. As the great high priest of the barbarian tribe, Saranguis knew many secrets. Although there were gaps in the barbarian lineage, Saranguis knew at least something about the ancient, and even the distant past, and he also possessed some secret techniques to divine the heavens.

"The destruction of Da Xia is a must for our barbarian tribe. As long as Da Xia exists, our tribe will never have a place in the Nine States. To rule the Nine States is imperative. Once I fully emerge from seclusion, that will be the day our barbarian armies trample through the mountains and rivers of Da Xia," Saranguis said in a heavy voice.

"Good, then I will wait patiently for a while longer, hoping the great high priest will soon bring good news," Yelanbar, the barbarian chieftain, said.

Subsequently, the black mist dissipated, and the figure of the Great High Priest Saranguis gradually became illusionary until it disappeared completely.

"Gu Chen? Heh!" A meaningful laugh escaped from the barbarian chieftain Yelanbar at the end.

...

In the imperial palace of the capital of Da Yuan Country.

Amonst the twenty-one states of the realm, Da Xia occupies thirteen, a land vast and rich, while Da Yuan occupies only seven states, mostly grasslands and forests, which is several levels below the territory of Da Xia.

The current emperor of Da Yuan, named Toumuer, was tall and burly, possessing the distinctive physique and appearance of the people of Da Yuan.

Toumuer had always harbored deep animosity towards Da Xia because his father, the former emperor of Da Yuan, had been publicly executed by the Emperor of Da Xia twenty-some years ago.

This incident had always been seen as a disgrace by the people of Da Yuan.

It was for this reason that the national teacher of Da Yuan, Shiba Shitu, had chosen to enter an extended retreat, not appearing in the capital for many years.

However, it must be said that Toumuer’s governance was strong. Although the war with Da Xia had severely weakened Da Yuan, under Toumuer’s leadership, the country’s power had not continued to decline; on the contrary, it had started to rise steadily.

At this moment, in the imperial palace of Da Yuan, standing beside Toumuer was a middle-aged man with pronounced cheekbones and a flat bridge of his nose, his aura heavy and somber.

It was none other than Zha Jiedunzhu, who had been to Tiandu and wounded by the Tower Supervisor.

Now, with the full support of Da Yuan, his injuries had completely healed.

"May I know why the Great Khan has summoned me?" asked Zha Jiedunzhu.

As a disciple of the national teacher and also a top-tier grandmaster with divine martial prowess, Emperor Toumuer held great respect for him, and the two interacted as friends when alone.

"Have you heard of this Gu Chen who is the current talk of the town in Da Xia?" Toumuer asked gravely.

Upon hearing this, Zha Jiedunzhu’s eyebrows twitched, "Of course, I know him."

The incident in Tiandu was still considered by Zha Jiedunzhu to be the greatest humiliation of his life.

Ananda was killed right before his eyes, and upon his return to Da Yuan, how could the Dragon Elephant Buddha Sect of the Great Snow Mountain not hold him accountable? If it weren’t for his status as a disciple of the national teacher, even as a top-tier grandmaster with divine martial prowess, the matter would not have been so easily overlooked.

Therefore, Zha Jiedunzhu also harbored resentment toward Gu Chen.

"He has transcended and attained divinity!" Toumuer said gravely.

"What?!"

Upon hearing these words, Zha Jiedunzhu’s eyes bulged, and his voice shot up by more than eight octaves.

He had been in seclusion healing his wounds, thus he wasn’t particularly clear on Gu Chen’s actions in Da Xia.

"Did this insignificant ant really break through to the Divine Realm?"

Even though Big Khan Toumuer had confirmed it over and over again, Zha Jiedunzhu still couldn’t believe it. How much time had passed for Gu Chen to have reached a level equal to his?

To tell the truth, Zha Jiedunzhu was somewhat unable to accept this.

Toumuer spoke in a deep voice, "I called you here because of this matter. This lad will undoubtedly become a huge stumbling block in Da Yuan’s path to overcoming Da Xia, and may even become the greatest obstacle.

At present, the national teacher is in seclusion and does not emerge, and within the entire territory of Da Yuan, only you and the leader of the Dragon Elephant Buddhist Sect are in the Divine Realm."

Zha Jiedunzhu frowned and said, "Does Big Khan want me to sneak into Da Yuan territory to kill this lad?"

"Exactly," Toumuer nodded and said, "This lad’s growth is simply too rapid. If we let him continue to grow, no one can predict to what extent he will reach. You know, it took him less than a year to break through from the Innate Stage to the Divine Realm!"

Hearing this, Zha Jiedunzhu’s expression became graver. He angrily said, "Had I known earlier, I should have disregarded everything and crushed him with my hands!"

Toumuer didn’t speak; he knew Zha Jiedunzhu’s words were spoken in a fit of anger. Back then, with the Tower Supervisor in Tiandu, Zha Jiedunzhu had no chance of killing Gu Chen.

"What I need to tell you is that news from Da Xia territory has arrived, saying that as soon as this lad broke into the Divine Realm, he slew a top grandmaster who had been renowned for a long time. Are you confident you can deal with him?" Toumuer asked solemnly.

Zha Jiedunzhu heard this and a fierce smile appeared on his face. He said, "He is but a junior. Even though he has broken through to the Divine Realm, before me, killing him would be as easy as turning over my hand, a piece of cake!"

Toumuer nodded, confident in Zha Jiedunzhu’s strength; otherwise, he wouldn’t have initially sent him to Da Xia.

However, what no one could have imagined was that the Qintian Monitor Tower Supervisor of Da Xia, who was not fond of combat, had already reached the Coagulation Field Realm without revealing his strength.

Zha Jiedunzhu was considered the number one martial artist of Da Yuan, a direct disciple of the contemporary national teacher Shiba Shitu, and his cultivation level and martial arts were both extremely terrifying. Given the chance to get close to Gu Chen, Toumuer believed that he would certainly be able to kill him.

"I already have a rough plan for this matter, which I will inform you of later. As for how to leave after killing Gu Chen, the Six Union God Sect will assist you," Toumuer said.

"The Six Union God Sect?" Zha Jiedunzhu was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

"This is a sect within Da Xia territory, very powerful. They sought me out not long ago, and we have now temporarily become allies," Toumuer briefly introduced the Six Union God Sect to Zha Jiedunzhu.

After learning of the strength of the Six Union God Sect, Zha Jiedunzhu was greatly surprised; at the same time, he grew more confident about this operation. Discover hidden stories at novelbuddy

He was not worried about failing to kill Gu Chen, but rather about being unable to leave Da Xia if his identity were exposed after the assassination.

After all, he was a man of Da Yuan, and once exposed, perhaps the entire Da Xia, along with the martial arts world, would unite against him; this would be troublesome.

But with the assistance of a top force within Da Xia territory, that would make a difference.

Subsequently, Toumuer and Zha Jiedunzhu discussed for a long time. Sensing the threat Gu Chen posed, Toumuer planned to eliminate Gu Chen before the national teacher Shiba Shitu emerged from his seclusion.

It was an utterly secret plan, so to prevent exposure, only the two people involved in the scheme, Toumuer and Zha Jiedunzhu, were aware within the whole of Da Yuan.
