Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 694 - 500: Establishing the Empire, the New Era of Daxia_1
"It's over..."
Yuan Feng, Cloud Heaven Palace, and the three successive generations of disciples from the upper realm's sacred lands watched as Gu Chen slew King Huai; then, together with the Tower Supervisor, annihilated Lin Feng, Yang Qian, and Mo Lun.
At this moment, their faces were silent, unsure of what to say anymore.
The shock they experienced today was simply too overwhelming, to the point of being beyond continuation.
They initially thought Gu Chen was stubbornly marching to his death, but unexpectedly, he won, changing everything.
"Senior brother, this..." Behind Yuan Feng and the others, the disciples from the sacred lands were also stunned, opening their mouths but finding no words to speak.
It was truly too astonishing, and they still couldn't believe it to this point, thinking it was all a dream.
At the same time, they also felt their faces burning with embarrassment; how they had looked down on Gu Chen, even mocked him, and now the outcome was such.
"How could such a remarkable genius emerge from this lower realm of Jiuzhou?" Yuan Feng and the others pondered.
At the same time, they knew that once the news from here spread, Jiuzhou would definitely experience a major earthquake.
No, not just Jiuzhou but also the six great sacred lands, for Lin Feng and the others were second-generation disciples of the sacred lands, and their deaths like this would absolutely not be taken lightly by Burning Heaven Valley's three great sacred lands.
Simultaneously, the potential that Gu Chen displayed in this battle also left them shocked.
"We must return to the sacred land and report Gu Chen's situation!" Yuan Feng and the others resolved in their hearts. Gu Chen's performance was simply too astonishing, and such talent would surely move even the sacred lands.
"The downfall of Jiuzhou is imminent; it would truly be a pity for such a remarkable person to perish along with Jiuzhou."
Holding this thought, Yuan Feng and the others, seeing that the situation was resolved, quickly left the place.
Afterward, under the lead of the Tower Supervisor, Gu Chen saw his second uncle Gu Chengfeng and his family at the Qintian Monitor.
The moment Gu Qingyan saw Gu Chen, she immediately threw herself into his embrace, sobbing quietly.
As Gu Chen gently stroked Gu Qingyan's back, he looked to his second uncle, Gu Chengfeng, and his aunt, Xu Qinge, saying, "Second uncle, I'm sorry for worrying you."
Although Gu Chengfeng was brought to the Qintian Monitor by the Tower Supervisor, he couldn't rest easy over his own safety; he was more concerned about Gu Chen.
Now, seeing Gu Chen safely return, especially noticing Gu Chen's pale face and the bloodstains on his clothes, Gu Chengfeng's eyes immediately reddened. Choking back his emotions, he patted Gu Chen's shoulder and said, "As long as you're okay, that's all that matters."
On the other side, Aunt Xu Qinge also continuously wiped away tears. Seeing her like this, Gu Chengfeng immediately embraced his wife.
Without too many words, when Gu Chen saw his second uncle's family safe and sound, with only some paleness on their faces, the heart he had been holding tight was also immediately set at ease.
Soon after comforting his second uncle's family, Gu Chen left there to go to the imperial palace to find the new Emperor Ji Yuan.
During the preceding interrogations, Gu Chen learned that Emperor Ji Yuan hadn't been killed but was imprisoned in the East Palace by King Huai.
Perhaps it was the last shred of conscience in King Huai's heart that prevented him from killing his own nephew.
At this moment in the vast East Palace, not a soul was in sight except for Emperor Ji Yuan and Eunuch Huang.
Ji Yuan, dressed in imperial robes, had a pale face without a hint of color, sitting expressionlessly and silent.

Eunuch Huang also had a distressed look, his face full of concern. They had been imprisoned here for many days, with no sustenance.
"Da Xia is finished..." Ji Yuan, lost in a daze, muttered to himself, devoid of the aura of a monarch, looking utterly dejected.
The thought of King Huai conspiring with the six great sacred lands and those geniuses from the upper realms to seize Da Xia, and the vision of being imprisoned here, brought a deep pain to his eyes that he couldn't suppress.
"Your Majesty, please take care of your health," Eunuch Huang urgently said, seeing this scene: "We are not without hope; there is still Marquis Wu'an."
"Yes, I still have Gu Chen!" Upon saying this, Emperor Ji Yuan, as though grasping at a lifeline, quickly raised his drooping head.
But all too soon, his eyes dimmed again, his face twisted in pain, shaking his head repeatedly, saying, "No good, it won't work, even with Gu Chen, what can be done? This time, King Huai has been preparing for a long time, it is not possible for him to fail. He set traps all over Tiandu, and if Gu Chen shows up, there will be no chance of victory."
Hearing this, Eunuch Huang thought about the terrifying might of King Huai, as well as the people from the six great sacred lands and the upper realms, and he involuntarily shuddered, becoming dispirited as well.
Yes, with so many allied against him, even the heaven-sent Marquis Wu'an would not prevail.
"No matter how powerful Gu Chen is, he is still human, not a god; he needs time to grow. King Huai saw this and is unwilling to give him that chance," Ji Yuan said disconsolately, aware that Da Xia was finished.
Given King Huai's current way of doing things, he wouldn't care about the decline of Da Xia or the lives of the common people. With the National Artifacts stolen by King Huai, countless people would die, and the 500-year reign of Da Xia would also come to an abrupt halt.
"I am a sinner, a sinner for all eternity to Da Xia!" As he spoke, Ji Yuan's eyes brimmed with tears, but the last vestiges of his imperial dignity prevented them from falling.
