30: Chapter 30: Thrilling Battle! Warships Set Sail

Clan Leader Gu Tianhua's eyes went wide. "There's such a good thing?"

"Stop talking nonsense and go make arrangements." Gu Xuan lay back down.

Clan Leader Gu Tianhua was overjoyed and turned to run.

"Stop! Everyone stop!"

He stood in the plaza and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Old Ancestor said we are holding a sparring competition for the next few days! Everyone enter the God-Locking Tower and start life-and-death battles!"

"Even if you die inside, you can resurrect! If you get hurt, just come out!"

"Give me your best! If anyone holds back, I will deal with you myself!"

The plaza was silent for a moment, then it exploded.

What? You can actually resurrect after dying, and we can have sparring matches?

Doesn't that mean we can fight to the death?

"We can resurrect? Then what is there to fear?"

"Fight! Fight to the death!"

"I've long wanted to spar with the Grand Elder. Before, I couldn't beat him and was afraid of being killed, but now I'm not afraid!"

First Elder Gu Yushan stroked his beard and laughed. "You little brats want to fight this old man? Come on, enter the tower and try!"

See if I, a Saint, don't slap you all to death!

Let me show you what it means to be the Grand Elder!

For a moment, the entire Gu Family was in an uproar.

Whatever two Holy Lands, whatever Saint King—it was all thrown to the back of their minds.

Upon hearing the news, Gu Chen immediately brought his sword and rushed over.

He also wanted to test what level his strength had reached!

The first level of the God-Locking Tower.

Just as Gu Chen walked in, the scene before his eyes changed.

It wasn't inside a tower, but a boundless wasteland.

Standing opposite him was Gu Qingshan.

"Brother Qingshan?" Gu Chen was stunned.

Gu Qingshan chuckled. "Young Master, my apologies. The Clan Chief said anyone can be challenged, and I have always wanted to test your sword!"

After Gu Qingshan returned, it didn't take long for him to reach the King Realm through marrow cleansing and Cultivation.

However, thinking of Gu Chen in the Secret Realm before, he felt that Gu Chen was extraordinary, especially with that remarkable sword in his hand.

He wanted to see what it felt like to face him back in the Secret Realm.

It looked like his Realm was similar to Gu Chen's.

But Gu Chen wasn't just someone with a Realm; he also had the bonuses of a Sword Body and the emperor sword!

Gu Chen smiled. "Then you must be careful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, both of them attacked simultaneously.

Gu Chen slashed out with his sword!

Even with all his might, Gu Qingshan couldn't block the sword strike Gu Chen swung casually!

"Again!"

After resurrecting, Gu Qingshan climbed up and charged again.

Once, twice, three times...

Each time he was knocked down by Gu Chen's sword, but each time he got back up.

By the fifth time, Gu Chen noticed that Gu Qingshan's reaction speed had become faster.

On the seventh time, Gu Qingshan actually managed to catch one strike before falling.

On the tenth time, Gu Qingshan withstood a strike and only lost because his spiritual power was exhausted.

Gu Chen sheathed his sword. "Not bad, you've improved quickly."

Gu Qingshan lay on the ground, muttering to himself.

This Gu Chen is terrifyingly strong; he's simply not human!

Thinking of those men in black in the Secret Realm being solved with one sword, it was understandable!

It felt like they were simply not on the same level!

I'm even two years older than him, yet I'm being pressed to the ground and rubbed!

I'm not fighting, I'm not fighting anymore. What kind of formula did you grow up on? You're terrifyingly strong!"

Gu Chen chuckled. "It's mainly because the things Old Ancestor gave me are too good!"

Gu Qingshan didn't care about that and lay on the ground, feeling life was meaningless.

Outside the God-Locking Tower, Clan Leader Gu Tianhua looked at the combat data transmitted from inside the tower, his mouth opening wider and wider.

"This tower can actually record battles? And analyze weaknesses?"

He swallowed hard.

Just how many more good things does Old Ancestor have?

Inside the tower, the fighting became more and more intense.

Gu Qingqing and Gu Huahua, the two little girls, one playing with fire and one with ice, beat the clansmen who challenged them until they were crying for their parents.

"Come on! Come on! Send another one!" Gu Qingqing stood in a sea of fire, hands on her hips, shouting.

"Next!" In front of Gu Huahua stood a row of ice sculptures.

They were all challengers!

They wanted to speak but their mouths were frozen shut; they wanted to open their mouths but it was too hot!

This was simply indescribable!

First Elder Gu Yushan and Elder Gu Kong, the two old guys, also started fighting with real fire. The Saint-level battle raged inside the tower, shaking the heavens and earth.

"Big Cockroach, you stole my Spirit Treasure fruit last time, and I haven't settled the score with you yet! This time I'll teach you a good lesson!"

"Yo yo yo! Little Kongkong, anyone can talk big. And isn't it just one Spirit Treasure fruit? Is it really worth this?"

"You have the nerve to say that? That cost me a fortune to get! Stop talking nonsense and take this!"

"Good lad! I must reform you with love!"

First Elder Gu Yushan didn't waste words either; today he would let him know why flowers are so red!

Now that we can resurrect after dying, who is afraid of whom?

The entire Gu Family was fighting like crazy inside the God-Locking Tower.

No one mentioned the events of three days later.

Because there was no need to mention it.

Three days later, what is meant to come will come.

What needs to be fought will be fought.

Back mountain.

Gu Xuan listened to the sounds of battle from down the mountain, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.

Jian Wuji stood to the side, looking at the God-Locking Tower, a trace of emotion flashing in his eyes.

"Master, this tower is an emperor-grade Spirit Treasure, right?"

Gu Xuan closed his eyes and said, "Hmm, I obtained it a long time ago and never used it."

Jian Wuji was silent.

An emperor-grade Spirit Treasure, used as a training ground for a group of Kings and Saints.

Extravagant.

But he didn't say it.

Because he was already used to it.

At the same time! Yuheng Holy Land! Holy Land Plaza!

Twelve warships hung in the air!

They were filled with Core Disciples, top-tier Elders, and the foundation of the Sect!

A full twelve ships of experts, plus the Sect's foundation, were all fully prepared and ready to go!

As for why they brought so many people!

The reason was very simple: a Family at the Saint Peak must have countless treasures, and manpower is needed to transport them!

Plus, hunting down those who were drifting outside, and dealing with those low-class helpers!

They should be ruthlessly trampled and slaughtered!

Let them know what the majesty of a Holy Land is!

Killing two of their Saint Elders—this matter cannot be written off just like that!

Let the world know that while the Holy Land is powerful, it can also obtain a large amount of resources!

They hadn't even set off yet, and they were already imagining the scene of returning fully loaded!

Under the warships were four Half-Saint experts; these were the last of Yuheng Holy Land's Half-Saint experts.

Including their Holy Lord and one Saint, plus the two Old Ancestors who had just broken through to the first level of the Saint King.

Yuheng Holy Land dispatched one Saint King, two Saints, and four Half-Saints!

The number of experts was truly luxurious!

This is the strength of the two Holy Lands!

"Hmph! The mere Gu Family is not worth mentioning!"

"Once we slaughter them all, the treasures and wealth will be countless, and there will even be Saint King-level Cultivation Techniques!" Yuheng Holy Lord was there, giving an inspiring speech!

The Disciples were like they had been injected with chicken blood!

Fight! Fight! Fight! Kill! Kill! Kill!

"Set off!"

At the command of Yuheng Holy Lord, the twelve warships slowly moved.

At the same time, Tianxuan Holy Land also set out with their own experts.

The two Holy Lands were in different locations, but they had agreed on a time to head towards the Gu Family together!

Once the news came out, all the people of Qingyun Province were in an uproar!
