Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 789 - 557: Gathering of the Saintly Sons_2

The Saint Son of Cloud Heaven Palace, Bai Jingyuan, also shared that the Vault of Sky Sword Sect's Saint Son, Fu Ling, was prideful and disdainful towards everyone, with very few things or people being regarded by him.

As for He Lianying from Mount Tianzhu, he was unscrupulous and ruthless, even more so than Fu Ling and thus more worthy of vigilance.

As for Shen Tianchi from Burning Heaven Valley, and the Saint Sons from Pure Yang Martial Sect and Five Elements Sect, they also each had their unique personalities.

Overall, apart from the three from Zhen Yuan, the rest of these Saint Sons looked down upon the Nine Provinces from the bottom of their hearts, did not regard the humans of the Nine Provinces as their kin, and lacked any compassion for them.

Their purpose was pure, to compete for the inheritance of the Nine Cauldrons, and regardless of the means, they cared not for the life or death of anyone in the Nine Provinces.

The rulers of these holy lands, the so-called giants from the upper realms and saintly figures, viewed all the humans of this world as nothing more than ants and insects.

"So, from the very root they are already twisted, or rather, rotten!" Gu Chen commented coldly upon hearing this.

The three from Zhen Yuan, upon hearing Gu Chen daring to mock those upper realm giants, couldn't help but shake their heads, silently noting Gu Chen's boldness.

Even as Saint Sons, they dared not speak ill of those beings.

Hearing about the prowess of the upper realm giants was precisely why they acted in such a manner, as those beings were simply not from the same world, and even with their exceptional talents and statuses as Saint Sons, it was not certain they could reach that level in this life.

To become a saintly figure who rules the holy lands and become a Saint Lord in the future, even with the support of various resources, one has only a certain hope.

From this fact alone, one could see the power of the Saint Lord level characters.

"Brother Gu, you can say whatever you want in this realm, but if one day you go to the upper realm, you must never speak such words," Zhen Yuan advised.

Saint Son Bai Jingyuan from Cloud Heaven Palace also earnestly said, "Such beings must not be insulted. If overheard, you will surely die, as no one can save you."

The Buddha Son from Sumeru Buddhist Sect, Su Nan, upon hearing this, nodded in agreement, being relatively quiet and reserved by nature.

"Thank you all, I'm aware," Gu Chen nodded.

At that moment, the essence of heaven and earth surged like tumultuous waves, and not far away a man in a five-colored robe with a tall figure materialized.

"Xu Ziqing," Zhen Yuan stood up and went to greet him.

Upon hearing this name, Gu Chen's brows raised; Xu Ziqing was the Saint Son from the Five Elements Sect. Not long ago he had just slain Sun Yin. Now that the opponent appeared, it was like enemies meeting, replete with heavy emotion. It remained to be seen whether Xu Ziqing would take action.

Not only did the Saint Son Xu Ziqing from the Five Elements Sect arrive, but following behind him were two direct disciples of his generation from the sect. Clearly, they recognized Gu Chen. Upon seeing him, their expressions turned cold.

Xu Ziqing naturally saw Gu Chen as well, and with a brief glance, just a sweep of his eyes, he moved aside to talk with Zhen Yuan, Bai Jingyuan, and Su Nan.

"As expected."

Internally nodding, Gu Chen saw that the information Zhen Yuan and the others had shared was accurate. The Saint Son from the Five Elements Sect, Xu Ziqing, preferred to plot before acting and did not easily make a move but would first attempt various probes.

Following Xu Ziqing's arrival, the next to arrive was the Saint Son of Pure Yang Martial Sect, named Fang Lian. He was burly with a resolute face and brimmed with a masculine air.

Upon seeing Gu Chen, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a dangerous aura flashed across him, yet he chose not to strike immediately.

The Saint Son from Pure Yang Martial Sect, Fang Lian, might seem rough on the outside, but he was actually meticulously careful. Now, knowing the extraordinary strength of Gu Chen, it was obvious he didn't want to be the first to confront him.

The two direct disciples of Pure Yang Martial Sect who followed Fang Lian, upon seeing Gu Chen, merely snorted coldly, also showing no intention of making a move.

Next to arrive was an individual whose aura was fiery, appearing like a great furnace. His hair moved like flames, and his face stern—it was the Saint Son of Burning Heaven Valley—Shen Tianchi.

According to Zhen Yuan, the Saint Son of Burning Heaven Valley, Shen Tianchi, was domineering and resolute. Gu Chen needed to be cautious because it was very likely that Shen Tianchi would attack him upon sight.

Clearly, they all recognized Gu Chen. The moment their gazes collided, the surrounding temperature began to soar rapidly. The energy within Shen Tianchi surged, increasing the likelihood of him taking action.

In this moment, everyone's expressions became slightly solemn, including Gu Chen, whose eyes turned focused and intense as he braced himself for the impending clash.

However, unexpectedly, Shen Tianchi did not strike. After a tense stand-off, he withdrew his aura and walked away.

"Since you dared to appear today, others will surely be the one to cut you down," he said coolly.

Following Shen Tianchi, the next to arrive was a man with a sharp gaze and a predatory look. He was the Saint Son of Mount Tianzhu—He Lianying.

"You are Gu Chen of Da Xia?" He Lianying arrived with Qian Ming and three other direct disciples, his gaze towards Gu Chen frosty.

But in the end, he just smirked coldly and chose not to attack.

"Indeed, so it is. Now, only the Saint Son from Vault of Sky Sword Sect, Fu Ling, remains!"

Fu Ling was arrogant, considering nearly all things and people beneath his notice. He was very proud of himself and only regarded those of the same Saint Son caliber, such as Zhen Yuan, as worthy of his respect.

As expected, Fu Ling was the last to arrive, coming late as if timing his entrance.

Following him were Huang Yan and Cui Ce.

As the saying goes, when enemies meet, eyes blaze with red. At the moment when Huang Yan and Cui Ce saw Gu Chen, their eyes turned blood-red with enmity.

Huang Yan couldn't help but clench his teeth and said, "Gu Chen, I never thought you'd actually dare to show up today!"

Gu Chen's expression was indifferent, merely glancing coolly at Huang Yan without paying further heed, turning his attention to Fu Ling of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect.

Today, Fu Ling wore a blue robe that, combined with his handsome features and a lanky frame, made him look exceptionally distinct and outstanding. He stood out in any crowd like a dragon among men, commanding attention.

Behind Fu Ling was a sheathed long sword. Even unsheathed, the concealed sharpness emanating from it involuntarily commanded awe and respect.

According to Zhen Yuan and the others, the person most likely to engage with Gu Chen upon first meeting was this Saint Son from the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, Fu Ling.

And indeed, this was the case. Without a word, as Fu Ling caught sight of Gu Chen, the aura around him sharpened dramatically, threatening to cleave the very air, creating cracks as though in a mirror.

In an instant, Gu Chen stood up, his gaze icy, his body tensed for action, his hair dancing in the wind.

The tension between the two escalated sharply, and as their auras collided and intermingled, sparks of electricity formed in the void, crackling with noise!
