Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Seven Stars Sect, Dragon Sparrow Clan, Heavenly Thunder Sect, Fire Crow Clan, and the Azure Gold Night Demon Clan blocked the entrance to Yun Family's residence, seeking to kill Gu Chen on the spot.

Princess Xidie confronted them, but the condescension in their speech and their disdain for Gu Chen were plainly undisguised.

They even openly stated that they regarded Gu Chen's life as worthless, showcasing their arrogance and tyrannical attitude to the utmost!

However, hindered by the huge gap in power between them, they acted so outrageously - who could possibly reprimand them?

Even at that moment, a Great Power from Seven Stars Sect took action, aiming to kill both Princess Xidie and Gu Chen right there and then!

"Brother Gu, Princess!" Yun Zishu, noticing this, was immediately shocked and anxiously pale. Had it not been for a Great Power of the Yun family forcibly holding him back, he would have rushed forward.

"I'll send you on your way!" The Great Power from Seven Stars Sect had a cold expression, merciless eyes, his large hand swinging as if to overturn heaven and earth!

With a booming sound, the ground shook and the heavens trembled. The Great Power made his move, his cultivation overwhelming, causing the clouds above to instantly scatter.

Gu Chen's expression changed, and he subconsciously grabbed Princess Xidie's jade hand, ready to activate the protective Yu Cauldron.

But at that moment, everything in heaven and earth seemed to halt, or rather, space appeared to freeze.

"Hmm?"

Gu Chen was surprised, for this was not his doing; he had not yet activated the Yu Cauldron.

Hum!

The next instant, the void vibrated silently, splitting open like a bottomless abyss, swallowing the attack of the Seven Stars Sect's Great Power.

A Great Power's tactic was just obliterated. Countless spectators immediately changed expressions, including the Great Power of Seven Stars Sect himself and the remaining members of the Heavenly Thunder Sect.

"Who?!"

The Seven Stars Sect Great Power paled, his attack silently obliterated, and with such control over the void, the involved strength undoubtedly far surpassed his, making careful consideration inevitable.

Even those with keen insight among the spectators realized this, each one of them glancing around suspiciously, wondering who would intervene to save Gu Chen.

"Who exactly are you, don't you know the enmity between Gu Bai and our five major forces? Daring to interfere like this, aren't you afraid of causing massive chaos?!" The Seven Stars Sect Great Power looked around sharply as he shouted.

The unknown adversary made him anxious, so the Great Power of the Seven Stars Sect bluffed by lumping together the Heavenly Thunder Sect and the other major forces, attempting to intimidate the person lurking in the shadows.

"Let this matter end here; all of you withdraw at once." Suddenly, a voice came from all around, even the several Great Powers present could not locate its source.

"Could it be a titan?!" The five Great Powers from Seven Stars Sect and Heavenly Thunder Sect paled, involuntarily thinking this.

"Or could it be that the Holy Brilliance Dynasty has made a move!" These two thoughts tumultuously surged in their minds.

"Gu Bai killed our sect's most outstanding prodigious disciple, yet you won't even reveal who you are, asking us to let go—it's too presumptuous!" The Great Power from Heavenly Thunder Sect exploded with anger, unable to bear it, he said sternly.

At the same time, electricity sparkled around his body, ready to strike at Gu Chen and Princess Xidie again.

"If you dare to act recklessly again, do not blame me for being merciless!" In the midst of the stillness, that voice immediately became stern, and the void of heaven and earth trembled.

At the same time, Yan Ming, the Grand Commander of the Royal Guards, flashed into the scene.

"Uncle Yan!" Princess Xidie exclaimed, her beautiful face showing no hint of fear even in the face of an attack by a Great Power.

"Princess!" Seeing that Princess Xidie was unharmed, Yan Ming's heart also settled, and he knew that the emperor of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty must have anticipated the emergence of the person in the shadows, hence he did not make a move.

"A titan level figure!"

Seeing Yan Ming, the hearts of the five Great Powers from Seven Stars Sect and Heavenly Thunder Sect chilled, and the appearance of the shadowy intervener cast a gloom over their faces.

"It seems the Holy Brilliance Dynasty intends to protect this Gu Bai?" The Great Power from Seven Stars Sect asked sternly.

Backed by the immortal level Taoxu Road of Ten Thousand Stars Palace, he was confident, fearless even in the face of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty.

Yan Ming's expression was grave, silent. His presence here was entirely his own doing, unrelated to the Holy Brilliance Dynasty.

"Today, with me here, none of you will touch Gu Bai." The voice in the void spoke again, its tone plain but resolutely firm.

At this moment, let alone others, even Gu Chen himself was puzzled, wondering who was supporting him in the shadows. Could it be a high-ranking individual from Qingyun Academy?

"Who are you really?" The Great Power from Seven Stars Sect's face looked incredibly unpleasant as he threatened, "If you don't show yourself now, do not blame me for directly notifying our sect, and perhaps even the envoys from Ten Thousand Stars Palace might arrive. At that time, things really will become uncontrollable!"

"Ten Thousand Stars Palace?" A voice came from the void, still unbearably calm, with no ripples, saying, "If that's the case, let Ten Thousand Stars Palace come find me then."

With a swish, a slight fluctuation occurred in the nearby void, and a figure suddenly appeared. It was a middle-aged man dressed in a simple Taoist robe, with a wooden hairpin on his head.

"Taoxu Road?!"

Seeing the man's attire, all the Great Powers present were taken aback, Yan Ming included.

"Taoxu Road?"

Gu Chen was equally startled, never expecting that the one protecting him from the shadows was a Great Power from Taoxu Road.
