Chapter 717: Why is a new force emerging again?
Many thoughts flashed through Gu Heng's mind, but he showed no sign of them on his face.
The burly man was still talking eloquently, and he wanted to hear him finish before asking him for advice.
He could have gone to the Western Regions on his own, but Gu Heng knew nothing about the Western Regions, and his goal was to go to the Demon Realm, which was no simple matter. If he was uninformed, he might fail miserably.
We should ask those who have been there before and learn from their experience.
"...The Western Regions are now ravaged by demonic calamities, and countless lives have been lost!"
"You people are all unaware of this. The demon soldiers of the demon realm are like puppets, yet they possess considerable intelligence and coordinate perfectly with each other. If one is not careful, they could fall into an abyss of no return, and might not even be able to escape..."
The burly man spoke with great enthusiasm, spitting everywhere, and everyone listened with great interest. In no time, the entire restaurant was filled with the sound of discussion.
"Fortunately, none of my men are cowards!"
"After killing over a hundred demon soldiers, we were able to retreat safely without leaving a trace!"
Upon hearing this, everyone applauded and cheered, "How magnificent!"
The big man even took out his "spoils of war".
It was a head, still bearing a ferocious expression, which he displayed on the table for everyone to see, his face full of pride.
Gu Heng's gaze was also drawn to it.
The head looked human, but it was covered with some kind of purple pattern, as if it had been eroded by something, making it look particularly strange. It was also dry and had an eerie aura.
"This is the head of that demon soldier!" the burly man said smugly, pointing at the head.
The crowd gasped in surprise, and an uproar ensued.
"If even the head of a dead thing possesses such a ferocious aura, then what about the living demonic soldiers...?"
"The strange creatures of the demon realm are indeed as numerous as hairs on a cow!"
The big man only showed the demon soldier's head for a short while before putting it away.
"We brothers can use this to claim a reward later. As you all know, the newly risen Jue Tian Pavilion offers generous rewards to cultivators who dare to venture deep into the Western Regions to fight against these evil creatures of the demon realm!"
"Gentlemen, if you want to achieve great success, it's not too late to start now."
After the burly man finished his story, he sat back down and drank heartily, displaying great magnanimity. However, Gu Heng heard an even more unfamiliar word.
Jue Tian Ge?
What is this thing again?
It's a new force he's never heard of before!
"Brother, what exactly is this Jue Tian Ge that the hero mentioned earlier?"
Gu Heng directly asked the cultivators at the next table who were silently drinking. The one wearing a bamboo hat and carrying a sword was definitely a sword cultivator.
"……what?"
The swordsman glanced at Gu Heng and asked in surprise, "Sir, you don't even know about the Absolute Heaven Pavilion?"
"Such a lack of information is unacceptable."
Hearing this, Gu Heng felt a little embarrassed. He couldn't very well say that he had been staying at home petting his cat for the past ten days or so and had been completely oblivious to all the important things happening outside, could he? Unless Manager Jin Qian told him, he wouldn't know anything about it.
But that's strange.
Jue Tian Ge seems to be a newly emerging force in the Xuan Tian Realm, and not a small one at that.
Jin Qian didn't tell him?
Why pinch?
Gu Heng could only make an excuse: "Please enlighten me, brother."
As he spoke, he took out a few spirit stones and arranged them on the table. Since he was going to ask questions, he had to be sincere.
Wealth can move mountains; it's suitable no matter what.
If it doesn't go through, it means there isn't enough money.
Seeing this, the swordsman smiled, put away the spirit stones, and lowered his voice, saying, "No one knows how the Absolute Heaven Pavilion came about. In short, it suddenly appeared almost half a month ago."
"That Jue Tian Pavilion is quite mysterious; it really does have an immortal presiding over it!"
"A few days ago, I heard that two cultivators at the level of Demon Generals from the Western Regions came from the teleportation array, but they were killed by a sword cultivator from the Jue Tian Pavilion not long after they arrived!"
"And it was an instant kill!"
"Wow... that's intense?"
Gu Heng gasped. In the Demon Realm's cultivation system, the Demon General rank was equivalent to the Immortal Lord rank!
In other words, a single swordsman from the Absolute Heaven Pavilion can instantly kill two demon generals!
Instant kill!
This would be impossible unless there was an overwhelming difference in strength!
So, that sword immortal must at least have strength close to the Immortal Venerable level, right?
There are such people in the Xuan Tian Realm, and he has never heard of them before?
It was as if it suddenly appeared overnight.
"That battle ended too quickly; many cultivators didn't even get to see the whole thing, but it was terrifying enough. It's said that the space itself was cleaved a thousand feet wide by that single sword strike, along with hundreds of thousands of demonic soldiers!"
After the swordsman finished speaking, he sighed.
Clearly, not being able to witness that fleeting battle firsthand has become a great regret for this swordsman.
Gu Heng felt a chill run through his body and his heart raced!
A single sword strike shattered a thousand feet of space, and also annihilated hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers in the process.
What the hell!
What terrifying strength this is! As far as Gu Heng knows, he can pin Mo Mang Xuanxian to the ground and beat him, but that's all he can do is beat up a Xuanxian.
The Xuanxian, corresponding to the cultivation system of the Demon Realm, is the Earth Demon rank among the "Three Great Ranks of True Demons," which is far from the Demon General rank...
I thought that once I returned to the Xuan Tian Realm, I could at least become a genuine "Number One in the World," but before I had even been feeling smug for two and a half months, a drastic change had occurred in the Xuan Tian Realm!
How is this going?
I always felt that while he was getting stronger, there were other people who were also getting stronger by unreasonable means.
Do other people have such a system?
"Although the Jue Tian Pavilion is a force that has risen suddenly, many sects and factions have already declared their willingness to submit to it, including the Eastern Frontier Alliance in the Eastern Frontier."
The swordsman drank his wine and shook his head self-deprecatingly.
"However, the Jue Tian Pavilion is quite strict. It is unwilling to accept even vassals, but it is willing to offer some good prices to attract cultivators to fight against the Demon Realm in the Western Regions."
As he spoke, the swordsman pointed to the burly man who was still talking animatedly.
"That guy has the head of a demon soldier. With the generous reward offered by Jue Tian Pavilion, he might be able to make another breakthrough, perhaps to the sixth or seventh level of the Mahayana realm."
"In short, the Jue Tian Pavilion is very powerful and mysterious. Almost no one knows how many immortals are within this force."
"But there can never be only one."
The swordsman accepted the spirit stones and was willing to talk more.
At least Gu Heng felt that this amount of information was sufficient.
It means that a particularly powerful force has suddenly risen in the Xuan Tian Realm, and it is full of big shots that he cannot afford to offend.
Is that right...?
