"What?!"
Back at the Gu Mansion, the second uncle Gu Chengfeng and his family were shocked when they heard that Gu Chen was going to the distant Youzhou to guard it.
Because the death of the Jingtiansi garrison in Youzhou is a top secret and cannot be leaked at this stage. Martial law has also been imposed in Youzhou. In addition, the world is currently in chaos. It is necessary to spread the news back to Tiandu or even to other state capitals. quite a while.
And it was impossible for Gu Chen to tell his second uncle Gu Chengfeng and the others this news. They didn't know how dangerous Youzhou was.
The reason why they were surprised was because of the sudden changes in the world and disasters all over the place. They were worried that Gu Chen would encounter something unexpected as he rushed to Youzhou.
Gu Chen smiled and comforted: "After all, I am the heaven-level commander of Jingtiansi. Now Jingtiansi has a mission, and I cannot refuse it. Second uncle, you should also know this."
When Gu Chengfeng heard this, he nodded slowly. He was also a member of the system, so of course he understood that this kind of thing could not be refused.
However, Gu Chen was his nephew after all, so he couldn't help but feel worried in his heart.
At this time, Aunt Xu Qing'e said with a worried look: "Dalang, everything in the world is not peaceful now. I heard that there were thunderstorms over there in Youzhou, which could scare someone to death. You said you are now Are you in a bit of a hurry to go to Youzhou? Can you tell your boss that you can wait until this period of time has passed and the world is stable before setting off?"
Gu Qingyan's beautiful water-like eyes looked at Gu Chen unblinkingly, full of reluctance.
Gu Chen shook his head and said: "No, aunt, this mission is urgent, I just came back to inform you that I will set off later."
"In such a hurry?" Gu Chengfeng frowned, vaguely feeling something was wrong.
He is not stupid. He has been serving the public for so many years. Of course, he also knows that Gu Chen is now a martial arts master in the Xiantian realm. Jingtiansi sent Gu Chen to Youzhou in such an urgent manner. There must be something there. Important things happen.
However, Gu Chenmei said that it meant that the matter was confidential, and of course Gu Chengfeng would not ask, which would only make Gu Chen embarrassed.
He also did not tell his wife and daughter about this matter, fearing that they would be too worried.
Gu Chen said: "If you don't drive me away, I've been resting at home for a long time. You know, I'm a restless person. I feel like my body is getting rusty after staying here for so long."
He pretended to be relaxed and said, hoping to make his second uncle's family not worry too much.
Xu Qing'e had a worried look on her face. She glanced at her husband Gu Chengfeng and found that Gu Chengfeng's face was solemn, but he didn't speak. Seeing this, Xu Qing'e sighed softly and did not try to stay.
Gu Chen went on a mission away from home. As his family, the only thing they could do was to let Gu Chen go away without worrying about anything at home.
"You must be extremely careful on the road." Gu Chengfeng said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, second uncle, I am a great master of martial arts in the Xiantian realm, but I can fly across the void very quickly. Even if I encounter any disaster, I will definitely be able to escape in time." Gu Chen comforted him.
"Yeah." Gu Chengfeng nodded and said nothing more.
"Dalang, take care."
"Brother, you must be careful."
Mother and daughter Xu Qing'e and Gu Qingyan, as well as the entire Gu family's servants, all looked at Gu Chenyuan with reluctance.
…
Youzhou is located in the eastern part of Jiuzhou. After passing Youzhou and going east, you will reach the border of Dayuan.
Generally speaking, it takes at least more than two months to travel from Shenzhou to Youzhou. However, Gu Chen has now achieved innate ability and has the ability to travel across the sky. Therefore, he did not choose to travel again this time.
Ride a horse.
The main reason is that many places have been affected by the changes in the world. Some of the original official roads have changed, and they are not suitable for traveling on horseback.
After leaving Tiandu, Gu Chen flew into the air, moved Lingxu nine steps, and flew towards the distant sky.
China has been in a severe cold period during this period, with goose-feather-like heavy snow falling continuously, and the temperature at high altitude is extremely low, which even the martial arts masters in the Reborn Realm may not be able to withstand.
But with Gu Chen's physical condition, these cold qi didn't have much impact on him.
"If I move forward at full speed, it will probably only take less than half a month to reach the city of Youzhou."
With the blessing of the movements of the geese passing silently and treading the snow without traces, and Gu Chen's Lingxu Nine Steps, he was like a floating light, with extremely fast speed.
However, traveling with all his strength puts a heavy burden on Gu Chen. Occasionally a few days is fine, but if he stays in this state for more than half a month, it will inevitably cause no damage to his body.
Therefore, according to Gu Chen's estimation, at his speed, it would take less than a month to travel from China to Youzhou.
This was already very fast, exceeding Qin Wu's expectations.
On the twelfth day after setting off from China, Gu Chen came to the ground and prepared to take a short rest.
At this moment, he has already left China, and after twelve days, the changes in the heaven and earth in Kyushu have stopped, and all kinds of disasters have disappeared. Now Daxia is going all out to relieve the victims, and the national treasury is almost empty.
Most of it.
Along the way, Gu Chen saw a lot of miserable situations, almost as if life was in ruins, which made him angry but also helpless at the same time.
He still needs time. Right now, Gu Chen's biggest goal is to break through the realm and reach the gods. In this way, it will be much easier to conquer the Jianghu forces in Daxia.
Not only the Jianghu forces, barbarians, and Dayuan, these are all Gu Chen's goals. Only by integrating all the forces in Kyushu can we deal with the upcoming catastrophe in Kyushu.
But to achieve this step, you need extremely strong personal strength.
Of course, nowadays, in addition to the barbarians and Dayuan, Gu Chen also has one more target, and that is King Huai.
"Prince Huai is not simple." Gu Chen frowned slightly. When he met Prince Huai that day, through the heavenly seed in his body, he saw some of Prince Huai's falsehood and reality.
The previous Huai King may have been pretending, but the Huai King that Gu Chen saw that day was the real Huai King.
"What is Prince Huai planning?" Gu Shensi thought, but he still didn't know about this.
The power in the world was already enough to give people a headache, but now there is another King Huai. Based on King Huai's thinking, in the future, if nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely become Gu Chen's opponent.
"Youzhou is a great opportunity." Gu Chen said to himself.
Guarding Youzhou and constantly killing demons and ghosts, Gu Chen felt that even if he reached Xiantian, his improvement in strength might not slow down.
Gu Chen's plan is to use the fastest time to achieve martial arts and divine enlightenment, condense his spiritual thoughts, and after solving the matter in Youzhou, he will start to conquer the world's forces. Of course, the first one will start with the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Sect.
Because the old Heavenly Master is not weak, he can be of great use when facing the Demon Sect, and is a very important help to Gu Chen.
It is obviously unrealistic for him to reverse the situation in Kyushu by himself. At least for now, Gu Chen needs the help of others.
This is Gu Chen's current thoughts.
Just as he was meditating, suddenly, in the mid-air not far away from him, there was a buzzing sound, the void shook, and was torn apart. A crack of about three feet appeared, and a cold breath invaded.
"Um?!"
Gu Chen was awakened immediately and saw this scene very clearly.
Waves of black mist surged out from the torn void, and the temperature here suddenly began to drop. The cold feeling was so pervasive that it could invade a person's bones and freeze them instantly.
Even a martial arts master who has attained the Great Perfection of the Hundred Aperture Realm cannot bear the cold aura and will turn blue and die on the spot.
In Gu Chen's heart, he had the feeling of seeing a natural enemy. Without any words, he knew that it must be a monster!
"Did demons and ghosts come to Kyushu in this way?" Gu Chen stared at the gap in the void.
This was also the first time he faced the demons coming to Kyushu.
"It turns out that this group of extraterrestrial evil spirits came to tear apart the world of Kyushu. No wonder it would have such a great impact on Kyushu."
Not only that, creatures like demons and ghosts are on the opposite side of the creatures of Kyushu. Even if they do nothing, just standing there, their innate sense of coldness is enough to destroy everything.
It can be seen that as the black mist continues to surge out, the ground with a radius of dozens of feet has been eroded and turned into jet black.
"Underworld monster!"
Feeling this aura, Gu Chen's expression instantly became serious. This was the first time he encountered a ghost of the underworld.
Different from what he had heard in the past, today, the underworld-level monster arrived in Kyushu right in front of Gu Chen's eyes.
The reason why it is so named is simply because the strength of Nether-level demons and ghosts is equivalent to that of human warriors from the innate realm to the realm of gods. Once a demon of this level is born, if left unchecked, the whole country will turn into a netherworld.
Therefore, demons and ghosts of this level are called "underworld level".
However, according to the Supervisor and the Six Holy Lands, these levels are only set by Kyushu for monsters. The monsters that appear in Kyushu at this stage are all the lowest level monsters. Really powerful monsters cannot cross the boundary and can only wait until the catastrophe officially comes.
, will come when the world of Kyushu is on the verge of being broken.
laugh!
In the flash of cold light, a huge sharp claw stretched out from the crack in the void, shining with a breathtaking black luster, like some kind of magical weapon, extremely sharp.
"Ouch!"
A ferocious howl resounded throughout the fields, and the earth rumbled, as if an earthquake had occurred. A demonic ghost, whose body was completely black and covered in scales that shimmered with cold light, walked out of the crack in the void.
This underworld monster is humanoid, about one foot tall, with a tall body, a sunken face, blood-red pupils, very sharp claws on its arms and soles, a thin body, and a pair of wings on its back.
, and there were bursts of black smoke lingering all over his body.
It is like a demon that came from hell to the world. It exudes an extremely dangerous aura. Its pair of blood-red pupils are very scary, shining with bloodthirsty light. Its mouth is open, and its fangs are bright and it seems to be terrifying.
Bite everything off.
"Ouch!"
At this moment, it howled again, and the whole field was wailing, and the earth almost collapsed. This scene was a bit scary, the power of a roar could be so powerful.
"Comparable to the Great Perfection of the Human Race's Innate Realm!" Gu Chen stood in the distance and saw the strength of this underworld-level monster.
However, Gu Chen has no experience fighting against ghosts at the underworld level. Although the aura he releases is compared to the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm, his true combat power is still unknown.
Whoosh!
At this time, the underworld demon also saw Gu Chen, its blood-red pupils were like two red lanterns, and it looked directly at Gu Chen with a ferocious gaze, like a wild beast that wanted to devour people.
"Roar!"
The next moment, the underworld monster roared and the void shook. It was like a tiger seeing a sheep, and it charged towards Gu Chen fiercely!
This is where the first battle between Gu Chen and the underworld demon officially begins!
