Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 1555 - 388: Decisive Battle in the Realm of Inquiry

Rumors of the nine revered Saintly figures have always been circulating among the upper echelons of the upper realm.

However, regarding who exactly the nine revered figures are, it has always been an enigma, with no one ever knowing their true identities.

Even, let alone the nine revered figures, guessing the true identities of the eighteen Saintly envoys and thirty-six elders beneath them has been equally challenging.

Throughout the long ages, the upper realm indeed captured some key figures, but unfortunately, the Saintly figures’ secrecy was too profound, and their mutual distrust too intense. Even if one was captured, it would be hard to uncover further intelligence.

Take Gu Chen, for instance: he killed eighteen Saintly envoys, but the intelligence he absorbed was still extremely limited. Had he not killed the offspring of the two revered Myriad Lords, Gu Cang and Gu Mo, he probably wouldn’t have learned of this secret.

Especially the nine revered figures, who are truly the high-ranking members of the Saintly domain, second only to the Saintly Lord himself—a position beneath only one but above millions!

Therefore, when the names Kill Feather Lord and Yang Lord consecutively emerged from Gu Chen’s mouth, it immediately caused a huge commotion, provoking an enormous uproar!

The masters of the Ten Thousand Stars Palace, the lords of the Nine Heavens Hall, and the leaders of the Three-Eyed God Clan and other beings of the Dao-asking realm all showed shock on their faces, turning their gaze towards the Golden Roc Clan’s ancestor and the Fire Sect’s Patriarch, clearly shaken by this news.

Even more so, they were weighed down by the thought of the previous collusion with the Saintly domain to kill Gu Chen.

At this moment, Taoxu Road’s lord, who had already communicated with Gu Chen, also spoke coldly: "Fellow Taoists, you’ve all been deceived by Golden Candle and Ganli. Their goal is merely to incite chaos in the upper realm for the Saintly domain to profit from the ensuing disorder!"

Upon these words, many figures of the Dao-asking realm frowned, holding great apprehension and concern for the Saintly domain, fearing they might be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

"Nonsense and gibberish!" the Golden Roc Clan’s ancestor and the Fire Sect Patriarch rebuked, saying: "What could a junior know? He’s only trying to sow discord among us. What, if this youngster accuses someone of being a Saintly figure, does it become the truth just like that?"

After all, figures of the Dao-asking realm are top characters in the upper realm, extremely important and highly esteemed. If Gu Chen’s power wasn’t almost comparable to those of the Dao-asking realm, nobody would have believed these words, which might have sparked a bloody unrest.

Because Dao-asking realm must not be insulted!

If this precedent is set, the entire upper realm will truly be in danger, falling into a state of universal mistrust, and unable to face the imminent colossal catastrophe.

"Taishi, you are overly indulging this youngster. Are such words to be spoken carelessly? He has not reached Dao-asking realm yet, but he dares to slander us. If his power was sufficient, wouldn’t he turn the heavens upside down?"

The Golden Roc Clan ancestor’s words visibly relaxed the furrowed brows of the peerless figures of the Dao-asking realm.

Gu Chen’s expression was icy as he spoke: "If you think there’s no issue, then would you dare to undergo an investigation?"

The Fire Sect Patriarch’s face darkened as he said: "Who do you think you are to investigate me? If I agree, where would the dignity of the Dao-asking realm stand!"

"Indeed, we cannot start this." The Lan Yue Lake’s grandmaster also said coldly.

"Those of Dao-asking realm must not turn on each other!" The master of Holding Mountain Gate aligned himself.

Taoxu Road’s lord and Purple-blood Sky Dragon Clan’s patriarch, Ao Tian, along with other Dao-asking realm figures frowned—things were indeed becoming troublesome now.

Hearing this, Gu Chen did not get angry but instead laughed. He said: "It seems that among the crowd, there are still people from the Saintly domain. You seem quite determined not to fear them taking advantage in the chaos."

Some of the Dao-asking realm figures frowned, and someone spoke up, asking, "Gu Chen, where did you acquire this intelligence?"

The peerless figure asking the question was from the camp of the Golden Roc Clan ancestor and others, a signal that the situation was turning unfavorable for them.

Gu Chen said: "Soul searching. From the Saintly envoys of the Saintly domain, it has been confirmed that the founding emperor of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, Gu Tianming, who is not dead, is one of the nine revered Saintly figures—the Myriad Lord. His two progeny, Gu Cang and Gu Mo, are the Saintly envoys. All intelligence was obtained from this source."

He spoke frankly, and even the fact that Gu Cang had siblings was something that caused the expressions of the Dao-asking realm figures to shift—they were also unaware of this news.

"Gu Chen speaks clearly. Since the intelligence comes from the nine revered figures, its authenticity can somewhat be ascertained. If there was no basis whatsoever, why would we agree?" said the lord of Taoxu Road. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

The patriarch of the Purple-blood Sky Dragon Clan Ao Tian, the leader of the Kirin Clan Qi Feng, the patriarch of the White Tiger Clan Bai Xiao, and the chief of the Golden Raven Clan Wu Shen all nodded in agreement.

And, upon hearing that Gu Chen’s intelligence came from within the Saintly domain, at this moment, some of the Dao-asking realm fell silent.

Such reaction made the Golden Roc Clan ancestor and the Fire Sect Patriarch’s faces look extremely unsightly.

Seeing this, Gu Chen’s smile turned chilling as he said: "What’s the matter, are you scared?"

"You junior, do you really think with just a few words you can shake the Dao-asking realm’s status in the upper realm? Besides, even if I were willing to be investigated, that would be later. Right now, hand over the source of all worlds!"

With these words, the Golden Roc Clan ancestor was also reminding the Dao-asking realm that despite everything, the source of all worlds remained the most important matter.

At this point, the lord of Taoxu Road spoke gravely: "Fellow Taoists, are we truly going to start a war now? Don’t let the Saintly domain manipulate us!"

"Taishi, what do you mean?" The faces of the Golden Roc Clan ancestor and the Fire Sect Patriarch sunk, as the words of the lord of Taoxu Road clearly seemed to treat them as the very Saintly figures they discussed.
