363. Chapter 363: The Origin of the Gu Emperor City

Long Xuan's expression stiffened instantly.

It was truly a disaster from the sky. This kind of thing could be encountered by him.

He was not a Gu King at all. Participating in this mission as a mere Spirit Sea Stage Gu cultivator was courting death. This was considered pretending to be a Gu King too much.

That was an old demon who refined forbidden Gu. With his realm, he estimated that he would be drained of spiritual power before he even got close. This was considered a disaster.

Facing the Demon Slaying Order of the Gu Emperor City, he really had no way to refuse.

When Shi Haojun was slaughtering cities everywhere and attracted the Demon Slaying Order of the Gu Emperor City, he had learned in detail about the origin of this Gu Emperor City.

The origin of the Gu Emperor City is extremely long, which can be traced back to when the Gu cultivation civilization was just born.

In that extremely remote period, a person named Gu created the Gu Dao. Gu preached everywhere and cultivated the first batch of Gu cultivators of the human race. Gu was therefore listed as one of the human ancestors.

And the Gu Emperor City was established by Gu. The significance of the establishment of the Gu Emperor City was to gather the power of all Gu cultivators in the world to jointly resist the invasion of alien races.

At that time, the ground was full of various alien races, and the human race was extremely weak, only able to survive in the cracks of the territory of major alien races.

It was precisely because of the power of the Gu Emperor City that the Gu cultivators of the world united together, allowing the human race to be preserved on the ground.

As time passed, the Gu cultivators of the Gu Emperor City, under the leadership of 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 eliminated, Gu also died in battle, and the Gu Emperor City did not disband because of Gu's death.

The Gu Emperor City began to re-select the Gu Emperor, and the significance of the existence of the Gu Emperor City also began to change from the original resistance to alien races to maintaining the stability of the human race.

Once a major event that could cause large-scale death of the human race occurs in the world, the Gu Emperor City will gather the power of all strong people of the human race to jointly resist the crisis.

And beheading the demon head who refines forbidden Gu is one of the major events that the Gu Emperor City must intervene in.

The Gu Emperor City can be considered a public organization. Every once in a while, it will screen the strongest in the world to join the Gu Emperor City. The members of the Gu Emperor City have all surnames, and the Gu Emperor is served by the strongest among the members.

Therefore, the Gu Emperor City has become the number one major force in the Gu World, and it has firmly occupied the throne of the number one force from ancient times to the present, year after year.

The Gu Emperor City has strong people like clouds and gathers strong people from all over the world. Once the Gu Emperor City conveys any order to a force under righteousness, then this force is impossible to refuse no matter how strong it is.

Opposing the Gu Emperor City is equivalent to opposing the whole world.

How could Long Xuan dare to openly disobey the order of the Demon Slaying Order.

He could only touch the storage ring with his hand. The Hundred Li Talisman inside that could let him run away at any time made him feel relieved.

Just like this, Long Xuan walked toward the Great Buddha Temple with a group of strong people from the Sword Washing Pavilion in a daze...

The Great Buddha Temple is a Buddhist force. Buddhism is compassionate, and the monks of the Great Buddha Temple do not kill. The monks who cultivate the Gu Dao also only let the Gu worms devour non-living materials when refining Gu to avoid killing.

Buddhist Gu worms can be considered another major school of Gu worms, and they are extremely fierce.

The Great Buddha Temple, under the power of powerful Buddhist Gu worms, has become one of the five strongest forces in the Yan Ting Empire, and is as famous as the Sword Washing Pavilion.

Long Xuan didn't know why this law enforcement officer of the Gu Emperor City wanted all the Gu Kings participating in the demon-slaying mission to gather at the Great Buddha Temple.

But he didn't ask too much, and could only listen to it.

A few hours later, a flying boat with a sword engraved on it galloped across the sky and landed slowly at a temple.

This temple is full of golden Buddha statues, some of which are extremely tall, even up to a hundred meters, standing in front of the mountain, reflecting golden brilliance under the sunlight.

There are many monks in the temple. Although there are many monks, it is extremely quiet. Buddhism is a place of purity, far from the noise of other places.

As soon as Long Xuan landed, listening to the sound of chanting around him, his mood calmed down a lot.

Following the crowd and turning around in the Buddha temple, Long Xuan walked into a secret room that was not small. He finally saw the rest of the Gu Kings participating in the demon-slaying mission here. The number was quite large, and it was estimated to be over a hundred.

You must know that this is a rare Gu King group. The number of Gu Kings breaking a hundred is definitely a number that scares people to death.

After the group of people from the Sword Washing Pavilion walked into this secret room, the Gu Kings in the room immediately looked over, swept across the seven or eight Sword Kings of the Sword Washing Pavilion, and finally stopped their gaze on Long Xuan's strange face.

The Demon Slaying Order is to conscript manpower nearby, so the people here basically know each other. Except for the ten Gu cultivators of the Gu Emperor City, only Long Xuan is a strange face. They naturally have to look at him twice more.

"Law Enforcement Officer Lei, about how many people haven't arrived yet?"

An old man in a black robe in the room asked first.

Long Xuan looked at this old man. This old man had an extraordinary momentum, without the humility of others when seeing the law enforcement officer of the Gu Emperor City.

Plus he spoke first, so Long Xuan concluded that this person's identity and status were absolutely extraordinary. If nothing went wrong, he should be one of the strongest Gu Kings in this room and would be the main force against Duan Tianwu.

Seeing Long Xuan's gaze looking at this person, Pavilion Master Ren on the side introduced him with soul transmission: "This person is named Qin Manyuan, the number one strong person of the Yan Ting Empire imperial family, and his combat power is about the same as mine."

"I didn't expect the imperial family to send so many strong people to participate in this mission. The Qin clan dispatched about twenty Gu Kings, which is absolutely the force that dispatched the largest number of Gu Kings here."

"Dispatching so many Gu Kings, are they not afraid of heavy losses in the demon-slaying mission?"

Pavilion Master Ren flashed a glimmer of light in his eyes and guessed: "Duan Tianwu killed many Gu Kings of the Yan Ting Empire in that battle, including a large number of Qin clan Gu Kings."

"The Qin clan dispatched so many people this time, and led by Qin Manyuan, it seems that the Qin clan came for revenge and had the intention of killing Duan Tianwu." Pavilion Master Ren's gaze condensed.

Law Enforcement Officer Lei counted the number of people in the room and finally said: "Counting our ten people from the Gu Emperor City, there are a total of 125 Gu Kings in the room now. This is the final manpower for our demon-slaying mission this time."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Gu Kings in the room changed slightly, they looked at each other, and wanted to speak but stopped.

Although this manpower might be able to kill Duan Tianwu whose wings were not yet full, if the number of Gu Kings was larger, the damage would be shared by each family, and the losses of all parties would naturally be smaller. They naturally hoped that the number of Gu Kings participating in this mission would be as large as possible.

Qin Manyuan's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "The number of people is a bit small, right? This is the only opportunity to kill Duan Tianwu. We must not be careless. Once we miss this time, it will be difficult to deal with him again."

"For the sake of stability, I suggest that we gather at least three hundred Gu Kings before encircling and suppressing him. Predict the enemy generously, only with such a number of Gu Kings can we ensure foolproof."

As soon as this statement came out, 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 clan to the greatest extent?"

Law Enforcement Officer Lei looked at him, swept his gaze across 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 also afraid of death. I also want to use the Demon Slaying Order to conscript more manpower, and after having greater certainty, then encircle and suppress Duan Tianwu."

"Who doesn't want to be stable? But there is not much time left for us, and time simply doesn't allow me to conscript more manpower."

"The Gu Kings nearby have already been conscripted by me. Conscripting Gu Kings from further away takes time, short for a few months, long for half a year."

"You also know that Duan Tianwu, who has the Devouring Demon Gu, has an extremely rapid cultivation speed. He doesn't need a few months to cultivate to the peak of the Gu King realm."

"At that time, what's the use of me conscripting more Gu Kings? I'm afraid that even ten times more Gu Kings won't be enough for him to absorb."

"So now is the best time for us to make a move. The longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it is for us. It's best if we can make a move today."

The Gu Kings in the room showed a look of contemplation. That's right, Duan Tianwu was once at the peak of the Gu King. He had no bottleneck in cultivation. With the Devouring Demon Gu in hand, he only needed to constantly absorb other people's spiritual power. It really wouldn't take long to cultivate to the peak of the Gu King realm.

It seems that the more people, the higher the winning rate, but in fact, it is the opposite. If they spend time gathering more Gu Kings, the winning rate will instead become smaller and smaller. It was their lack of consideration.

Seeing that everyone in the room had been persuaded by him, Law Enforcement Officer Lei said again: "You can rest assured, these hundred-odd Gu Kings are enough."

"You should have heard of the name Lei Wan, right? If Lei Wan makes a move, do you still think you can't defeat this person?" Law Enforcement Officer Lei showed powerful self-confidence.

Upon hearing this, all the Gu Kings in the room showed surprise. Hearing this name, many people's confidence in this battle rose a lot.

Lei Wan's fame was simply too great. Even if it was thousands of miles away, many people in Central Earth had heard of it.

The Southern Region is divided into seventy-two borders, among which the Central Border in the middle is the strongest.

And Lei Wan is the number one strong person in the Central Border, absolutely a character as famous as Duan Tianwu, the number one strong person in Central Earth that year, and his combat power is likely on par.

The key is that Lei Wan possesses the Thunder Punishment Body, one of the ten strange bodies, and can control powerful thunder power. His combat power is invincible among peers. With this physique, his combat power can be ranked in the first echelon of the entire world.

The most critical thing is that the Thunder Punishment released by the Thunder Punishment Body specifically restrains demon things, plus he is two major realms higher than Duan Tianwu. With him making a move, the winning rate of this battle will be ten percent. (End of chapter)
