Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 845 - 593: The King’s Return

And without that small dimensional rift, the coordinates disappeared, and the demons could no longer continue to locate the Nine Provinces and invade again.

It could be said that the great calamity of the Nine Provinces had thus come to an end.

"It's a good thing I relied on the celestial cauldron in advance to lock onto the spatial coordinates of the Nine Provinces. With that, using the celestial cauldron and the chaotic void currents, I will return in a very short time," Gu Chen's eyes were filled with strong anticipation.

Two years, he had been away from the Nine Provinces for a full two years, and Uncle Gu Chengfeng and the others must have been extremely worried.

"Thankfully, it hasn't exceeded the time frame I gave them," Gu Chen exhaled softly.

And so, accompanied by the chaotic void currents, the celestial cauldron traveled through the lands beyond the sky, with Gu Chen not encountering any signs of life along the way.

Finally, after an unknown duration, he saw a glowing object, which was his homeland for this lifetime—the Nine Provinces!

In that moment, upon sensing the familiar atmosphere of heaven and earth, Gu Chen, filled with immense excitement, steered the celestial cauldron out of the chaotic void currents and entered the Nine Provinces.

"Hmm?"

In the process, Gu Chen encountered a massive resistance, far greater than when he left the Nine Provinces two years ago, but fortunately, the celestial cauldron was extraordinary, and he, being a native creature of this world, ultimately succeeded.

"I'm back!" Feeling the familiar aura replacing the coldness and dead silence, Gu Chen couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Only now that he had returned to the Nine Provinces, did he feel like a living person, or more like someone who had come back to life.

Two years without any human contact or communication, with nothing but endless killing, no matter how resolute Gu Chen's mentality, he was bound to tire of it.

Fortunately, in the end, he had persevered and succeeded!

Having spent too long amidst demons and evil spirits, Gu Chen himself had lost all signs of vitality. Now back in the Nine Provinces, his sharp eyes gradually softened, and so did the lines of his facial features.

The murderous aura accumulated from countless killings was even more securely locked away in the depths of his heart.

"Uncle, Aunt, Qinyan!"

Gu Chen's eyes blazed with fervor; upon returning to the Nine Provinces, he put away the celestial cauldron without a second thought and rushed to Shen Zhou's Tiandu.

Whoosh!

Gu Chen's speed was extremely fast, like traveling through the void. He appeared in East Province but took only little time to arrive at Shen Zhou and returned to Tiandu.

Gu Chen didn't meet with anyone. Carrying his excitement, he went straight back to his own home, the Warrior King's Mansion.

"Hmm?!" However, upon returning to the Warrior King's Mansion, Gu Chen's expression changed, sensing something amiss.

The enormous Warrior King's Mansion was utterly empty of people?!

Previously, because he was too excited, Gu Chen hadn't probed his surroundings, only realizing this after his arrival.

"Where is everyone, Uncle, Aunt, and Qinyan?" Gu Chen became a bit panicky, not finding any trace of Gu Chengfeng and the others.

Using his divine sense to scan the whole of Tiandu, he found no sign of his uncle and his family, and moreover, the Warrior King's Mansion was covered in dust, indicating that Gu Chengfeng and the others had left some time ago.

"Eh?"

While Gu Chen's divine sense swept through the earth and sky, he also noticed the changes in the Nine Provinces, but he had no time to care about that now, as all his thoughts were focused on finding his uncle's family.

Soon, he found traces of the servants of Gu Mansion, such as Uncle Zhang, the gatekeeper, and Maid Xiao Yu.

The former had now retired to enjoy his old age in an estate outside Tiandu, while the latter had actually married and was pregnant.

"It seems a lot has happened in the Nine Provinces during the time I was away, but where did Uncle and the others go?" Gu Chen murmured, somewhat puzzled.

"Seems I have to make a trip to the Imperial Palace," said Gu Chen, vanishing from the Warrior King's Mansion, arriving within the Imperial Palace.

At this moment, not even half a day had passed since Lang Tian and the others had staged their coup; Ji Yuan was still immersed in grief over Director Huang's death and had not yet come to.
