Chapter 428: Senior Brother Gu Shan (2)

Mijia said softly, “Here’s some news—eight high-realm Demon Vanquishers have been killed in the state capital in the past half a year.”

“Oh?” Xu Jingming’s expression changed slightly.

Even if there were conflicts between Demon Vanquishers, they rarely killed each other directly because they knew very well that even if they killed each other, they would only establish a new account!

100 million cosmic dollars might make a Lv. 7 cosmic lifeform’s heart ache, but it was nothing to a high-realm Demon Vanquisher at the limit of Lv. 8.

“A Heaven Demon?” Xu Jingming asked.

Mijia nodded and said, “Our investigations on the dead high-realm Demon Vanquishers indicate that they died at the hands of a Heaven Demon.”

Xu Jingming nodded. As long as one had a virtual world contact, they could naturally ask about the cause of death.

“The Heaven Demon who attacked isn’t the same person,” Mijia said. “In other words, a faction formed by Heaven Demons is targeting high-realm Demon Vanquishers. It’s better for Brother Wu Ming to join a faction at this time.”

“Thank you for the tip. I’ll think about it carefully,” Xu Jingming said. Although he wasn’t afraid of death, he would lose the Demon Vanquishing Dharmic Artifact he had painstakingly refined after dying. He also had to establish an account and cultivate again.

It was very troublesome.

Mijia raised his glass and toasted him before drifting away.

Other than Xu Jingming and Uncle Qi, nobody in the restaurant noticed his entry or exit.

“Young Master.” Wu Qi was a little worried. “From what this person said, a group of Heaven Demons is targeting high-realm Demon Vanquishers.”

“All along, it has been Demon Vanquishers pursuing Heaven Demons. Now, the Heaven Demons are retaliating.” Xu Jingming was quite looking forward to it. After all, he hadn’t killed a single Heaven Demon in more than ten years.

“Young Master, you have to be careful.” Wu Qi was very worried. “It’s a Heaven Demon after all.”

In a quiet courtyard.

A few people were entertaining a white-haired elder.

“Sect Master Gu, this Heaven Demon’s strength is extraordinary. Lord Domia was also a ninth-realm Demon Vanquisher in the Demon Vanquishing World. He fought the Heaven Demon head-on and was killed in less than ten moves,” a youth said. “This Heaven Demon’s strength is very terrifying, exceeding that of an ordinary ninth-realm Demon Vanquisher. We were still speculating that perhaps only an Origin lifeform can deal with it.”

“Sect Master Gu’s presence will equally give us the confidence we need.”

“Domia could withstand seven or eight strikes from the Heaven Demon, but I’m afraid the demon can’t even withstand three strikes from Sect Master Gu.”

These people flattered him.

The few of them were ninth-realm Demon Vanquishers and were also the most terrifying elders in Scarlet Cloud State, but they believed that they were far inferior to Sect Master Gu.

As the white-haired elder in front of him was too famous and had terrifying historical achievements, his self-created Netherworld Sun was famous in the Demon Vanquishing World. With this technique, he was virtually invincible.

“I only rushed over from Yi Nation after hearing how powerful this Heaven Demon is,” Sect Master Gu said. “As long as I’m in the state capital, I’ll definitely be able to discover the Heaven Demon once it attacks.”

“We’ve been searching for Heaven Demons, but we can’t defeat such a powerful one even if it comes before us.” These people sighed.

They were ninth-realm Demon Vanquishers after all. They were no match for the demon if even Lord Domia couldn’t withstand ten moves.

“There are indeed some extremely powerful Heaven Demons. Their strength is above that of a ninth-realm Demon Vanquisher.” Sect Master Gu was very calm. In the Demon Vanquishing World, he was nearly invincible.

“Oh right,” Sect Master Gu suddenly asked, “I wonder if you know someone named Wu Ming?”

“Wu Ming? Yes, of course. He’s quite famous in our Scarlet Cloud State,” a woman said with a smile. “He pities ordinary people and has even stood up for them to fight another high-realmDemon Vanquisher.”

“I received news that Wu Ming just arrived in the state capital six hours ago,” a youth commented.

“Oh?” Sect Master Gu’s eyes lit up.

Xu Jingming and Wu Qi checked into an inn and booked a single courtyard.

When night fell, Xu Jingming and Wu Qi were already resting in their respective rooms. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

“Who is it?” Wu Qi draped his clothes over his shoulders and opened the door in confusion.

Xu Jingming also sensed vast Dharmic power fluctuations and immediately walked to the courtyard. He immediately saw a stocky, white-haired elder standing outside.

His gaze was very elegant and familiar.

“You are…” Xu Jingming wasn’t sure.

“Gu Shan.” The elder smiled.

“Senior Brother Gu Shan?” Xu Jingming was pleasantly surprised.

“Junior Brother Wu Ming.” Gu Shan smiled.

Wu Qi stood by the side, puzzled.

Xu Jingming explained simply, “Uncle Qi, I was fortunate to receive the Demon Vanquishing technique. Senior Brother Gu Shan is my eldest senior brother. I joined the lineage last and am considered the youngest junior brother.”

“Oh.” Wu Qi came to a realization and said happily, “Then, I’ll get someone to prepare some food and drinks.”

“Sorry to trouble you, Uncle Qi,” Xu Jingming said.

Wu Qi immediately ran out enthusiastically to find the inn’s waiter.

In the room.

Xu Jingming and Gu Shan sat at the wooden table, and Xu Jingming poured him tea.

“I never expected to meet you here, Senior Brother,” Xu Jingming said happily. “I remember that you weren’t in Qing Nation.”

“The sect I established is in Yi Nation,” Gu Shan explained with a smile, “but my mental strength index has reached 10,000. I’m preparing to break through to become an Origin lifeform.”

“You’ve finally reached 10,000? Congratulations, Senior Brother.” Xu Jingming was also happy for his senior brother. After all, his senior brother was over a thousand years old.

“I’ve tried breaking through in the virtual world, and I’ve succeeded eight out of ten times.” Gu Shan shook his head. “It’s obvious that I have to make ample preparations in every aspect. It just so happens that a good friend of mine informed me that a terrifying Heaven Demon has appeared in Qing Nation’s Scarlet Cloud State and takes the initiative to attack Demon Vanquishers. The more powerful the Heaven Demon, the harder it is to find them. As for those that take the initiative to attack Demon Vanquishers, I just have to wait patiently… for them to make a move.”

“A Heaven Demon that can suppress a ninth-realm Demon Vanquisher should be of some help to me.” Gu Shan said, “If my mental strength increases a little more, I should be 100% confident.”

Xu Jingming could understand.

When breaking through, his body would completely transform into the Force. Once he failed, his body would completely collapse and become the Force—a complete death. Therefore, he had to be 100% confident.

“Senior Brother, feel free to tell me if you need my help,” Xu Jingming said.

“I know you descended in Qing Nation’s Scarlet Cloud State, and I happened to be here, so I naturally came to meet you. As for helping?” Gu Shan thought for a moment before saying, “Work hard in the state capital and take the initiative to deal with the demons. Once you encounter a Heaven Demon, the greater the commotion you cause, the better. I’ll be the first to know. This is the greatest help you can give.”

“Don’t worry.” Xu Jingming nodded. This was nothing.

“It really isn’t easy to become an Origin lifeform.”

“Regardless, you will break through soon. Junior brothers and sisters like us are still amassing experience,” Xu Jingming said. He had a mental strength index of more than 5,000, so he was still far from breaking through.

Senior Brother Gu Shan looked at him. “I can sense that your Dharmic powers have broken through to the seventh realm. You should’ve reached the limit of Lv. 8 in reality, right?”

“Yes.” Xu Jingming nodded.

“You’ve only joined the Primordial Research Institute for 11 years, right? You were only at Lv. 7 11 years ago.” Senior Brother Gu Shan praised, “This speed of improvement, tsk tsk tsk…”

“The limit of Lv. 8 isn’t worth mentioning,” Xu Jingming said humbly. The geniuses of the Primordial Research Institute reached the limit of Lv. 8 in a short period of time.

Senior Brother Gu Shan looked outside and whispered, “There’s something I have to remind you of.”

“Remind me?” Xu Jingming was puzzled.

The two fellow disciples spoke in whispers.

The waiter from the inn and Wu Qi entered with the dishes and wine.

“Young Master and Eldest Senior Brother, have a taste of this inn’s cooking.” Wu Qi also helped the waiter serve the food, wine, and water.

“Uncle Qi, go get some rest. I want to talk to Senior Brother through the night,” Xu Jingming said.

“Alright.” Wu Qi left with the waiter and closed the door.

Xu Jingming looked at him seriously. “Senior Brother, is what you said true?”

“Absolutely.” Gu Shan nodded.
