"Hmm, are you telling me that Gu Chen annihilated the Da Guangming Sect in one battle and also killed the Tower Supervisor of the Blood Garment Tower and the leader of the Lonely Souls?"
"Yes, my lord."
Upon hearing this, King Huai’s eyes narrowed slightly as he muttered to himself, "This Gu Chen is truly extraordinary."
At this point, a terrifying killing intent flashed in King Huai’s narrowed eyes.
The more outstanding Gu Chen became, the stronger King Huai’s intent to kill him grew.
His nature had always been such that he would destroy anything he could not control or was not under his control.
Moreover, given Gu Chen’s character, he would only cause even bigger trouble until eventually, a battle between the two was inevitable.
King Huai did not want to wait until that moment, though he was not afraid of Gu Chen, nor would he allow his enemy to grow stronger.
The spy, standing beside him, could certainly sense King Huai’s intent to kill Gu Chen, yet he did not dare to speak.
For among the spies trained by King Huai, even though their abilities were exceptional, not one was a match for Gu Chen as he was now.
Especially after learning about Gu Chen’s military exploits in the Yan State, they were even more convinced of this.
To face Gu Chen was as good as sending them to their deaths, and sometimes, dying would at least allow them to die with some dignity.

If they were to face Gu Chen, they might not even have a whole corpse left, the spy thought to himself.
Of course, King Huai was unaware of what this spy was thinking, and of course, even if he did know, he still would not care.
"It doesn’t matter, these are only part of what I have prepared for him. There’s more to come, and I would like to see if this Gu Chen truly has the capability to turn the heavens upside down and kill this group of people!"
As he spoke, a chilling light flashed in King Huai’s eyes, and he said, "Where are the people from the Vault of Sky Sword Sect?"
"Back to King Huai, three Grand Perfection Elders of the Divine Intent Realm from the Vault of Sky Sword Sect have already arrived in Yan State and are pursuing Gu Chen’s whereabouts," the spy reported.
"They are too slow in their search. Pass the message to them: give them Gu Chen’s exact location. I don’t want him to live any longer. Every day he lives is a danger, an unpredictable bomb, who knows what he might do next," said King Huai with a stern face.
If it were not for the fact that the top experts of the Coagulation Field from the six major holy lands were preparing the border-crossing teleportation formation, Gu Chen would not have survived to this day for daring to kill people from the six major holy lands.
"Yes, my lord, I shall see to it," the spy said in a low voice, bowing and preparing to leave.
"Mhm," King Huai responded indifferently, and the spy instantly vanished from the scene.
"Once the Sword Formation of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect is deployed, I would like to see if you, Gu Chen, can withstand it. Even if you do survive, it doesn’t matter. You killed elders of the holy land, and they will not let you go. In the end, your fate will not escape death, thus saving me the effort of dealing with you personally," he thought to himself, a thick smile spreading across his face.
The threat posed by Gu Chen to King Huai was too great. From any angle, Gu Chen was someone King Huai had to eliminate.
...
Meanwhile, Gu Chen had spent several days traveling from the gate of the Da Guangming Sect at Changqing Mansion in the Yan State to the frontier.
Since the great battle in the Yan State, the border had been re-established and the imperial court had also dispatched a large army to garrison there. A new commander had been appointed to take charge.
However, Gu Chen arrived at the border quietly, without alerting anyone, and with his level of cultivation, as long as he did not expose himself, no one in the entire Yan State would be able to detect him.
Gu Chen had come here to find out about the current state of the barbarian tribes and the situation in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountains.
More than twenty years ago, the Emperor of the Xia Dynasty had driven the barbarians into the Ten Thousand Beast Mountains, and had it not been for its special nature, the Emperor would have eradicated them long ago.
The Ten Thousand Beast Mountains were also called the number one forbidden area in Jiuzhou, and Gu Chen was very curious about it.
So today, he came.
After arriving at the border, Gu Chen smoothly passed by the garrisoned soldiers, reaching the very front and gazing at the endless black mountain range in the distance.
At this moment, for some reason, Gu Chen felt a chill in his heart as he looked at the heavy and solemn Ten Thousand Beast Mountains, and an involuntary sense of dread came over him.
It was as if some terrifying beast was residing within.
The Ten Thousand Beast Mountains at night were quiet and solemn, truly like a colossal beast lying silently there, waiting for the day of Awakening.
"Is this the number one forbidden area in Jiuzhou, once the dwelling of ancient divine demons?" Gu Chen muttered to himself, looking at the mountains before him. With his divine sense, he keenly felt a breath utterly different from the heavens and earth of Jiuzhou.
It was an aura from ancient times. Legend had it that the environment of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountains was entirely different from that of present-day Jiuzhou; it still retained ancient celestial rules, or rather, the remnants of ancient celestial rules had created such a special place in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountains.
The ancient era was a time that belonged to gods and demons, and hence, it was said that if one did not have the bloodline of gods and demons, entering the Ten Thousand Beast Mountains was likely to be incompatible, with a great chance of encountering misfortune.
This was also the reason why the Emperor of the Xia Dynasty had been stopped by the Tower Supervisor when he wanted to exterminate the barbarians by invading the Ten Thousand Beast Mountains.

Even with the Emperor’s cultivation at the time being an obstacle, Gu Chen, though strong now, was still far behind the Emperor of that era. After all, the Emperor then possessed the ability of the Divine Intent Realm, which was vastly different from Gu Chen’s present capabilities.
