Chapter 363 The Origin of Guhuang City
Long Xuan's expression froze.
It was a sudden disaster. He could even encounter such a thing.
He was not a Gu King. Wouldn't it be a death wish for him to participate in this mission as a mere Gu cultivator in the Spiritual Sea Stage?
That was an old demon who was refining forbidden Gu. With his realm, he would probably have his spiritual power sucked out before he could even get close. This was considered as pretending to be a Gu King too much.
Facing the Demon Slaying Order of Gu Emperor City, he really had no way to refuse.
When Shi Haojun slaughtered the city everywhere and attracted the Demon Slaying Order of Gu Emperor City, he had learned about the origin of this Gu Emperor City in detail.
The origin of Gu Emperor City is very long and can be traced back to the time when the Gu Cultivation Civilization was just born.
In that very distant period, a man named Gu created the Gu Dao. Gu preached everywhere and cultivated the first batch of Gu cultivators of the human race. Therefore, Gu was listed as one of the ancestors of mankind.
Gu Emperor City was established by Gu. The significance of establishing Gu Emperor City was to gather the power of all Gu cultivators in the world to jointly fight against the invasion from foreign races.
At that time, the ground was full of various alien races, and the human race was extremely weak and could only survive in the cracks between the territories of various alien races.
It was also because of the power of Guhuang City that the Gu cultivators in the world united together, allowing the human race to be preserved on the earth.
As time went on, the Gu cultivators of Guhuang City, led by Gu, destroyed one powerful alien race after another, and the human race gradually ruled this land and became the protagonist of this land.
When most of the alien races were destroyed and Gu died in battle, Guhuang City did not disband because of Gu's death.
Guhuang City began to re-select Guhuang, and the meaning of Guhuang City's existence began to change from the original fight against alien races to maintaining the stability of the human race.
Once a major event that can cause large-scale deaths of the human race occurs in the world, Guhuang City will gather the power of all the strong people of the human race to fight the crisis together.
And killing the demon who refined the forbidden Gu is one of the major events that Guhuang City must intervene in.
Guhuang City is a public organization. Every once in a while, the strongest people in the world will be selected to join Guhuang City. Guhuang City has members of all surnames, and the strongest among the members is the Guhuang.
Therefore, Guhuang City has become the largest force in the Gu world, and it has firmly occupied the throne of the largest force from ancient times to the present.
Guhuang City is full of strong people, gathering strong people from all over the world. Once Guhuang City conveys an order to a certain force under the righteousness, then this force will not refuse no matter how strong it is.
Disobeying Guhuang City is equivalent to fighting against the whole world.
How dare Long Xuan openly disobey the order of the Demon Slayer Order.
He could only touch his hand to the storage ring, and the Baili Fu inside that allowed him to escape at any time made him feel much more at ease.
Just like that, Long Xuan walked towards the Big Buddha Temple with a confused look on his face along with a group of Xijian Pavilion strongmen...
The Big Buddha Temple is a Buddhist power. Buddhism is compassionate. The monks of the Big Buddha Temple do not kill. When practicing Gu, the monks who practice Gu will only let the Gu worms devour non-living materials to avoid killing.
The Buddhist Gu worms are another major Gu worm school, and they are extremely powerful.
Under the powerful power of Buddhist Gu worms, the Big Buddha Temple has become one of the five strongest forces in the Yanting Empire, and is as famous as the Xijian Pavilion.
Long Xuan didn't know why the law enforcement officer of the Gu Emperor City asked all the Gu Kings who participated in the demon-killing mission to gather at the Big Buddha Temple.
But he didn't ask too much, so he could only let it go.
A few hours later, a flying boat engraved with a sword sped through the sky and slowly landed in a temple.
This temple is full of golden Buddha statues, some of which are extremely tall, even up to 100 meters, standing in front of the mountain, reflecting golden light under the sunlight.
There are many monks in the temple. Although there are many monks, it is extremely quiet. Buddhism is a quiet place, far less noisy than other places.
As soon as Long Xuan landed, he listened to the sound of chanting around him, and his mood suddenly calmed down a lot.
Following the crowd in the Buddhist temple, Long Xuan walked into a large secret room. He finally met the other Gu Kings who participated in the demon-killing mission here. There were quite a lot of people, roughly estimated to be a hundred.
You should know that this is a rare group of Gu Kings. The number of Gu Kings exceeding a hundred is definitely a terrifying number.
After the Xijian Pavilion group walked into this secret room, the Gu Kings in the room immediately looked over, and after scanning the seven or eight Sword Kings of Xijian Pavilion, they finally stopped their eyes on Long Xuan's unfamiliar face.
The Demon Slaughter Order was to draw personnel nearby, so the people here basically knew each other. In addition to the ten Gu cultivators from the Gu Emperor City, only Long Xuan was a stranger, so of course they had to take a closer look.
"Lei Fazhi, how many people are still missing?"
An old man in a black robe in the room asked first.
Long Xuan looked at the old man, who had a great momentum, and was not as humble as the others when they saw Gu Huangcheng Fazhi.
Because he was the first to speak, Long Xuan guessed that this person's identity and status were definitely not bad. If nothing unexpected happened, he should be one of the strongest Gu Kings in this room, and will be the main force against Duan Tianwu.
Seeing Long Xuan looking at this person, Pavilion Master Ren on the side introduced him with soul transmission: "This person's name is Qin Manyuan, he is the top expert of the Yanting Empire's royal family, and his combat power is about the same as mine."
"I didn't expect that the royal family would also send so many strong people to participate in this mission. The Qin family dispatched nearly 20 Gu Kings, which is definitely the force with the largest number of Gu Kings here."
"Sending so many Gu Kings, aren't they afraid of heavy losses in the demon-killing mission?"
Pavilion Master Ren's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and guessed: "Duan Tianwu killed many Gu Kings of the Yanting Empire in that battle, including a large number of Qin Gu Kings."
"The Qin family dispatched so many people this time, and Qin Manyuan led the team. It seems that the Qin family came for revenge and wanted to kill Duan Tianwu." Pavilion Master Ren's eyes condensed.
After counting the number of people in the room, Lei Zhifa, who was standing next to Pavilion Master Ren, finally said, "Including the ten people from our Guhuang City, there are now a total of 125 Gu Kings in the room. This is the final number of people for our demon-killing mission."
Hearing this, the faces of the Gu Kings in the room all changed slightly, and they looked at each other, wanting to say something but stopping.
Although these people may be able to kill the fledgling Duan Tianwu, if there are more Gu Kings, the damage will be shared by each family, and the losses of all forces will naturally be smaller. Of course, they hope that the more Gu Kings participate in this mission, the better.
Qin Manyuan's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice, "The number is a little small, right? This is the only chance to kill Duan Tianwu. We must not be careless. Once we fail this time, it will be difficult to deal with him again."
"To be safe, I suggest that we gather at least 300 Gu Kings to encircle and suppress him. We should be lenient with the enemy. Only with such a number of Gu Kings can we ensure that there is no risk of error."
As soon as this was said, all the Gu Kings in the room nodded in agreement.
"Hmph! I think you want to use the number of people to share the damage, so as to preserve the strength of the Qin family to the greatest extent?"
Lei Zhifa glanced at him, and then scanned the faces of the Gu Kings in the secret room, and said sternly: "Everyone is afraid of death. I can understand that you have this idea."
"I am afraid of death too. I also want to use the Demon Slaughter Order to recruit more people. After I have greater confidence, I will encircle and suppress Duan Tianwu."
"Who doesn't want to be more stable? But we don't have much time left. Time does not allow me to mobilize more people."
"I have already drawn all the Gu Kings nearby. It will take time to draw Gu Kings farther away, at least a few months, and at most a few months. Half a year."
"You also know how fast Duan Tianwu, who has the Devouring Demon Gu, can cultivate to the peak of the Gu King in just a few months."
"What's the point of recruiting more Gu Kings? I'm afraid that even if there are ten times more Gu Kings, they won't be enough for him to absorb."
"So now is the best time for us to act. The longer we delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for us. It's best for us to act today."
The Gu Kings in the room looked thoughtful. That's right, Duan Tianwu was once the peak of the Gu King. There is no bottleneck in his cultivation. With the Devouring Demon Gu in hand, he only needs to keep absorbing people's spiritual power. It really won't take long to cultivate to the peak of the Gu King.
It seems that the more people there are, the higher the chance of winning. In fact, it is just the opposite. Once they spend time gathering more Gu Kings, the chance of winning will become smaller and smaller. They are not thoughtful enough.
Seeing that everyone in the room had been persuaded by him, Lei Zhifa said again: "Don't worry, these more than 100 Gu Kings are enough."
"You should have heard of Lei Wan's name, right? If Lei Wan takes action, do you still think you can't defeat him?" Lei Zhifa showed a strong self-confidence.
Hearing this, all the Gu Kings in the room were surprised. Hearing this name, many people's confidence in this battle increased a lot.
Lei Wan's reputation is really too big. Even though he is thousands of miles away, many people in the Middle Earth have heard of him.
The Southern Region is divided into 72 regions, among which the Central Region in the middle is the strongest.
And Lei Wan is the strongest in the Central Region. He is definitely as famous as Duan Tianwu, the strongest in the Middle Earth at that time. Their combat power may be on par.
Lei Wan has the Thunder Punishment Body, one of the ten strange bodies, which can control the powerful power of thunder. His combat power is invincible at the same level. With this physique, his combat power can be ranked in the first echelon in the whole world.
The most important thing is that the thunder punishment released by the Thunder Punishment Body is specifically designed to defeat demon cultivators. In addition, he is two realms higher than Duan Tianwu. With him taking action, the chances of winning this battle will be extremely high. (End of this chapter)
