"He actually lost?"
In the number-one forbidden area of Jiuzhou, within the Hundred Thousand Mountains, Lang Tian and Qi Jin, among others, sensed that battle and were immediately somewhat surprised.
As supreme beings of the Heavenly Human Realm in the martial arts, their beings were fused with the heavens, achieving unity with nature. Moreover, since Jiuzhou was merely a small world, as long as they wished, they could detect any changes in the aura without fail.
"I did not sense the aura that belongs to that Gu Chen. Those two auras were not recorded in the intelligence, does Da Xia have hidden powerhouses?" Lang Tian said softly.
However, Wei Cang and Luo Xun may be extraordinary, but ultimately they were merely two grand completions of the Divine Intent Realm. The tall and burly man was limited due to his injuries not being fully healed and the suppression of the heavens and earth of Jiuzhou.
If he were at his peak, the tall and burly man would be invincible in Jiuzhou, not even the demonic Dugu Yun would be his match.
Or rather, every single person including Lang Tian would be the same.
Every one of them possessed extremely powerful capabilities in the Heavenly Human Realm. If that were not the case, they would not have been sent to Jiuzhou by the higher-ups from the upper realms, at such a great cost.
All of this, naturally, was because the Sanctified Lords felt assured to do so.
"That's good, let him taste the fruit of defeat. Meanwhile, it allows us to gather some intelligence. With that, he will be much more subdued," Qi Jin said.
Lang Tian slightly furrowed his brow and said, "However, the suppression of this world of Jiuzhou is indeed severe; it won't be easy for us to return to our peak state."
Hearing that, Qi Jin and the others also slightly furrowed their brows. It was indeed a problem.
At the same time, on the other side, the battle had left Wei Cang and Luo Xun with serious injuries, or rather, quite severe injuries.
The two of them continuously coughed up blood, their expressions extremely solemn as they looked in the direction where the tall and burly man had departed.
If the opponent had not been carrying injuries, even if the two of them had fought desperately, the outcome of the battle would still have been uncertain.
What Wei Cang and Luo Xun did not know was that there were a total of nine supreme beings like the tall and burly man in the Heavenly Human Realm!
If they knew this information, they would have been utterly despairing.
Meanwhile, immediately following this incident, Ji Yuan commanded Qin Wu to take a large force to Diancang Pavilion, accompanied by the Tower Supervisor, ready to capture the pavilion master, Zhou Yuan.
However, it was a pity that they arrived a step too late. By the time they got there, the master of Diancang Pavilion had already left the place long ago.
Or rather, during this period, the master of Diancang Pavilion, Zhou Yuan, had not returned here and had been constantly seeking the whereabouts of the Nine Cauldrons.
But for Qin Wu and the others, this was a good thing.
After all, the master of Diancang Pavilion, the Thousand-Hand King Zhou Yuan, was a supreme martial artist with grand completion of the Divine Intent Realm. Even if the Tower Supervisor and Qin Wu joined forces, they would definitely not be a match for him.
Since arriving in Jiuzhou, the ever-secluded ninth prince of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, Gu Yan, also sensed that the upper realms had sent more people. However, he did not care about this because he was confident that, with his strength, no matter who the enemy was, he was enough to suppress everything.
The only thing that truly troubled Gu Yan was the suppression by the will of the heavens and earth of Jiuzhou, which prevented his power from returning to its peak.
Thus, having been humbled once because of this, the tall and burly man indeed became more subdued and stopped causing trouble, focusing instead on healing his wounds.
Because he was also clear that one day, he would be able to take revenge.
As for Gu Chen, who had not appeared throughout, they did not care too much.
Because from their perspective, the strength of Wei Cang and Luo Xun might not necessarily be weaker than Gu Chen's; even the cooperation between the two, when combined, vaguely seemed to surpass Gu Chen.
Therefore, Lang Tian and the others were more focused on Wei Cang and Luo Xun.
Soon, in order to deal with the suppression of the Jiuzhou world, another half a year hastily passed.
Time, like sand slipping through one's fingers, is hard to hold onto, always running away silently.
Two years have passed since Gu Chen left Jiuzhou.
In these two years, the changes in Jiuzhou have been immense, with the number of demons and ghosts greatly diminishing, nearly to the point of non-existence.
This discovery also delighted Ji Yuan and other people of Da Xia; everything in Jiuzhou was developing in a good direction.
However, in these two years, no news about Gu Chen had been received at all.
At the same time, regarding the tall and burly man who appeared half a year ago, Ji Yuan and others were also quite wary, but because of his formidable strength, they could only temporarily tolerate it.
"He might have truly succeeded."
At this moment, inside the city of Tiandu, on the Star Gazing Platform at the top of the Bagua Building of the Qintian Monitor, Wei Cang, Luo Xun, and the Tower Supervisor gathered, gazing into the sky.
"Your insight is as sharp as ever, Dongfang," Wei Cang said with a smile, looking at the Tower Supervisor.
To this day, with the continuous decline in the number of demons and ghosts in Jiuzhou, how could they not understand that it was because of Gu Chen's impending success?
Then, Luo Xun spoke, "While this is a good thing, after the spatial channels are destroyed, how will he return to Jiuzhou?"
Upon this question, all three fell silent.
Even though Gu Chen was a formidable warrior with grand completion of the Divine Intent Realm, he would still face great limitations in the lands beyond the heavens.
With the destruction of the spatial channels, no one knew what would happen. If a spatial turbulence emerged, then Gu Chen wouldn't be able to survive at all.
Moreover, even without spatial turbulence, with the destruction of the spatial channels, who knew where it would send Gu Chen at that moment. If he ended up too far away, or without coordinates, it didn't matter whether one was of the Divine Intent Realm or even the Heavenly Human Realm; they could only wait for death in the lands beyond the heavens.
