He lifted his head and glanced at the sky, which showed that it was now noon.
He was in the state city of Han State, not far from Frost Soul Sect, Night Spirit Valley, or Wind Gate.
At the same time, all three sects also had corresponding strongholds here.
Soon, night fell, and the evenings in Han State were even colder, with every part of the world carrying a chill, and ice crystals forming on the ground.
However, the common folk living here, as well as martial practitioners, had long since adapted.
As for Gu Chen, he was easily immune to the effects of heat and cold.
Accompanied by the dusk, a figure emerged from a narrow path, with sword-like brows and starry eyes, hair black as a waterfall, and a cold look in his eyes—it was undoubtedly Gu Chen.
He stood there with a physique as strong as a dragon and vitality as vast as the ocean, his eyes cold, looking towards a certain place.
There, stood a building immensely grandiose, with a gleaming emblem at the very top.
This place was none other than a stronghold of Wind Gate within the state city.
At that moment, when Gu Chen deployed his Heavenly Eye, his gaze turned brilliant, mysterious runes twinkled in the deepest part of his pupil, and even across a considerable distance, everything within the Wind Gate stronghold fell within his sight.
“Did so many people actually gather there?” Once Gu Chen saw the scene inside Wind Gate through his Heavenly Eye, his eyes couldn’t help but narrow.
Dressed in green garments were dozens of individuals, belonging to Wind Gate.
Beyond them was another group of people with ugly features, their skin faintly shimmering with a black sheen, and their nails sharply pointed, glinting with a chilly gleam.
“Night Spirit Valley?!” Gu Chen’s expression grew tense.
Night Spirit Valley was actually also a sect, but it didn’t belong to the Human Clan; it was established by the Yaksha Clan from among the alien races.
Many years ago, imitating the human sects, the Yaksha Clan established Night Spirit Valley and widely recruited disciples, causing some people to join.
But later on, someone with an agenda discovered that the Yaksha Clan’s purpose in establishing Night Spirit Valley and recruiting disciples was not to pass on teachings but to consume humans!
At that time, every night in Night Spirit Valley, there were screams heard, as the Yaksha Clan devoured humans.
By the time it was discovered, there were piles of bones, and tens of thousands of Human Clan souls had perished.
This immediately enraged Frost Soul Sect, and even alarmed that supremely powerful ancestral figure.
Consequently, the Yaksha Clan faced severe retribution, and had it not been for the concerns of the Ten Thousand Tribes, the Yaksha Clan might have been exterminated.
At that time, within Han State, the Frost Soul Sect was the sole dominant force, even counting as one of the strongest in that region, and the Yaksha Clan did not dare to act rashly even after their harsh punishment.
However, after the fall of that ancestral figure within the Frost Soul Sect, the Yaksha Clan immediately took the opportunity to emerge and began to contest for the interests of Han State.
As one of the three major powers in Han State, Wind Gate was naturally not content to fall behind.
Even a lean camel is larger than a horse, let alone Frost Soul Sect.
Only by their two powers uniting were they barely able to contend with Frost Soul Sect.
But Wind Gate was, after all, a Human Clan force, and given what the Yaksha Clan had done before, their cooperation with Night Spirit Valley was widely criticized by the Human Clan in Han State.
However, since it was a holy land-level force, everyone only dared to talk behind their backs and could not do much openly.
This was the Upper Realm, where everything respected strength, and to have the upper hand was the absolute principle!
The survival of the fittest, the law of the jungle, was, in a sense, brought to its utmost expression here!
Struggle was the everlasting topic in the Upper Realm, and even those mighty beings believed that only in this way could truly extraordinary heroes and monsters be fostered.
Flowers in the greenhouse, absolutely cannot withstand a single blow.
At that moment, within Wind Gate’s stronghold, a young man spoke, “What a pity, that Gu Qingyan’s life is so tenacious.
We were so close to killing her, just a hair away!”
“Hehe, no matter, this is just the beginning.
Tonight’s operation is the main event!” A male member of the Yaksha Clan from Night Spirit Valley said, his voice hoarse as if metal scraping against metal, grating to the ears.
The man from Wind Gate sighed, “I had hoped to capture Gu Qingyan and her family, using them to coerce the Frost Soul Sect into giving us an entry slot to the Extreme Ice Island.
However, I didn’t expect to fail and incur the Frost Soul Sect’s wrath.”
“Who knows what kind of luck the Frost Soul Sect has stumbled upon?
They not only had a supremely powerful being stationed there, but after his fall, they actually found a Mysterious Yin Body in the lower realms who can inherit the mantle of that supreme being.
In time, she will rise to such strength that even among the Holy Masters, she will be almost without rival, perhaps even having a chance to transcend the ordinary and enter sainthood.
We, the Wind Gate, are also a force within Han State, also part of the Human Clan, so why do we not possess such grand fortune by our side?”
The young man from Wind Gate said this while shaking his head, his envy of the Frost Soul Sect palpable.
The Yaksha Clan male, his skin faintly dark green, said, “Don’t worry.
Once you and I join forces, everything belonging to the Frost Soul Sect will eventually be ours!”
As he said this, his monstrous, ghoul-like face grew even more ferocious, looking quite frightening.
At the same time, the bloodthirsty light flickered in his dark green pupils, and sharp fangs could be faintly seen in his mouth.
The Yaksha Clan, regardless of gender, are all exceedingly ugly in appearance, their faces as fearsome as those of evil ghosts, and their personalities are just as vile.
In the ancient times, among the Ten Thousand Tribes, they were especially fond of devouring the flesh and blood of the Human Clan.
At that time, the Human Clan had just risen and was relatively weak, leading to numerous bloody incidents.
“Tonight is just the beginning.
The Frost Soul Sect can’t possibly imagine that we’ve been waiting here for a long time.
They think they can raid our Wind Gate’s stronghold so easily?
Not a chance!”
The young man from Wind Gate snorted coldly, a chilling coldness brewing in his eyes as he said, “I’m now wondering whether to kill all those from the Frost Soul Sect who come tonight, or keep some alive as a threat, demanding from them the entry slot to Extreme Ice Island.”
The Yaksha Clan male grinned, revealing a row of sharp teeth, “Eat the men, keep the women.”
Hearing this, the dozens of Yaksha Clan members became exceptionally excited, their pupils flashing with a wolf-like green gleam.
Seeing this scene, the young man from Wind Gate’s eyebrows twitched imperceptibly.
To tell the truth, he also found this group of hideous Yaksha Clan somewhat repulsive, but there was no choice.
The elders of his sect had decided to cooperate with Night Spirit Valley to contend with the Frost Soul Sect and vie for their own interests.
This group of Yaksha Clan was particularly fond of Human Clan women because of their delicate skin.
They found them addictive after torturing and killing them for their delectable taste.
“By the way, I am curious about how you knew that the Frost Soul Sect would take action tonight?” the grotesque Yaksha Clan man asked the people from Wind Gate.
It was the people from Wind Gate who informed them this evening, prompting the Yaksha Clan to come here and set up an ambush, which is why the Yaksha Clan was curious about how the Wind Gate had this foreknowledge.
The young man from Wind Gate, with a smug smile, responded, “We have our ways.
The Frost Soul Sect will eventually fall apart.”
“You have an informant within the Frost Soul Sect?” The Yaksha Clan man might be ugly, but he was quick-witted and guessed the truth.
“Tell me, who is it?
How exactly did they infiltrate them?” He looked at the young man from Wind Gate, his eyes gleaming.
The latter frowned, somewhat reluctantly, but since he was in his own stronghold and had confirmed everything was secure, of course, he would not be guarded and he disclosed a name.
“Hehehehehe, it looks like the Frost Soul Sect cannot escape their fate!” The Yaksha Clan man laughed loudly.
But then, he revealed a piece of news that shocked the young man from Wind Gate.
The Yaksha Clan leader revealed an extremely unpleasant smile, looking at the people from Wind Gate, “I’ve heard that you’re in contact with people from the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty?”
