Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 810 - 570: Great Calamity Begins, Chaos in the World

The Year 522 of the Da Xia Calendar.

On this day, demon ghosts suddenly appeared on a large scale across various regions, wantonly massacring, causing severe losses across different provinces and cities in the unprepared chaos. Overnight, a large number of civilians were tragically killed, and the ground was stained red with fresh blood.

At the same time, because of the massive emergence of demon ghosts wreaking havoc across the world, various urgent transmission letters, like snowflakes, flew towards Tiandu.

Not only that, though it was originally midsummer, the sudden appearance of these demon ghosts caused a drastic change in temperature, with frost descending and bitter cold piercing to the bone.

Observant individuals were very clear that the third and final world alteration had officially begun!

At this moment, in the imperial study of the Tiandu palace, various ministers, along with the deputy commander of the Jing Tian Department who had reached the Coagulation Field realm, Qin Wu, were present.

At the head, Emperor Ji Yuan was hunched over his desk, handling the urgent state affairs being transmitted from all over.

After a long while, Ji Yuan took a deep breath, looked up at the people below, and said in a deep voice, "What are the casualties across the land now?"

"Casualties... have already reached nearly one hundred thousand," a minister below responded softly.

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan's pupils contracted instantly. He looked towards Qin Wu, deputy commander of the Jing Tian Department, and asked, "Does the Jing Tian Department have any countermeasures?"

"Your Majesty," Qin Wu stepped forward, clasped his fists, and said, "Currently, the Jing Tian Department has already fully mobilized, extinguishing demon ghosts with the utmost speed. However, with the coming of the world alteration, demon ghosts are appearing endlessly. At this rate, it may not be long before the nine provinces are overrun by endless demon ghosts."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the imperial study trembled, and a deep chill emerged from their hearts.

Fortunately, ever since Gu Chen conquered the holy land, the overall strength of Da Xia had greatly increased. One would have thought they could rest peacefully for a while, but such an incident occurred not long after.

"Have the sources been located?" Emperor Ji Yuan took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, clenched his fists tightly, and asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, it is being investigated. However, according to the messages from the Great Leader, the source is very likely in Yangzhou!" The deputy commander of the Jing Tian Department, Qin Wu, replied with a grave expression.

"Where is Gu Chen now?" Ji Yuan asked with a frown.

"The Great Leader has already left Tiandu and gone elsewhere," Qin Wu replied.

Though they didn't speak it outright, both of them knew that the unusual phenomenon across the nine provinces probably indicated that the Demon Cult Leader Dugu Yun was about to emerge!

Fortunately, before this, Gu Chen had already discussed this with Ji Yuan and Qin Wu. To prepare for this day at any moment, they had secretly built sanctuaries for civilians to escape.

Currently, people from various provinces were flocking into these sanctuaries, and those close to Shen Zhou were migrating towards it.

Meanwhile, the Jing Tian Department across the land had mobilized, engaging in brutal battles with the demon ghosts.

Of course, what they didn't know was that strong demon ghosts of prison level had already appeared when the demon ghosts first emerged. But all of them were blocked and killed by Gu Chen's puppets.

Otherwise, the casualties would have been even greater.

"Now, we can only place our hopes on Gu Chen," Ji Yuan and Qin Wu both silently thought in their hearts.

...

This catastrophe affected not only civilians but also the forces of Jianghu in the nine provinces similarly.

At this moment, at the Qiongtian Mansion of Shen Zhou, within the mountain gate of the Canghai Sect.

"Sect Leader, it's bad; there are dozens of demon ghosts outside!"

An elder of the Canghai Sect rushed into the main hall in a panic and informed everyone of such news.

In fact, he didn't need to say anything. Cheng Ying and others already knew because the intense freezing aura spread everywhere made every one of them feel numb and uncomfortable.

Among the warriors of the Canghai Sect, two young men stood out prominently. One of them was the most outstanding disciple of the Canghai Sect back then, who had once appeared on the List of Stars and competed with Gu Chen, Yu Qiushi.

The other was Zhang Zining, who had been saved by Gu Chen and later returned Gu Chen's family sacred weapon, the Divine Weapon Blood Shadow Sword.

Over time, these two had become the most dazzling Twin Stars of the Canghai Sect, with mighty strength, and over the years, they both achieved the Gang Qi Realm!

And the Canghai Sect's leader, Cheng Ying, had also successfully broken through to the Innate Realm with Da Xia's help earlier, becoming a grandmaster of martial arts.

Originally, the Canghai Sect should have been thriving. With Yu Qiushi and Zhang Zining, they could also occupy a place in Jianghu in the future. But unexpectedly, the world is unpredictable, and changes came so swiftly.

"Engage the enemy!"

With Cheng Ying's command, the warriors of the Canghai Sect rushed out one after another, ready to fight the demon ghosts.

Meanwhile, within their mountain gate, many civilians were gathered, rescued by Cheng Ying and others. Watching them go to confront the demon ghosts, they all felt extremely tense.

"The chaotic times have come," Zhang Zining and Yu Qiushi whispered in their hearts, following Cheng Ying and a group of elders as they charged out.

"Roar!"

At the mountain gate, dozens of demon ghosts roared into the sky. Their pupils were blood-red, and black mist surged around them. Like beasts ready to devour humans, their fangs were white and menacing, with lots of bloodstains still remaining.

"Kill!"

With Cheng Ying's order, the warriors of the Canghai Sect immediately engaged in battle with these demon ghosts. With Cheng Ying in the Innate Realm, they could still hold the upper hand.
