Chapter 607: The Desire to Live (1)
Translator: 549690339
Gu City was originally an ordinary city in the Hidden Dragon Region.
But because of one person, Gu City entered the sight of Taoism.
The reason was very simple. This Valley City was the place where Yang Chen chose to train in the mortal world.
In the sky above Gu City, the Supremacy of One Dao Sect said worriedly as he watched Liu Ruxue walk out of the Imperial Beast Pavilion,””Should we remind the major powers here not to disturb the Saint?”
“No need.” Another Venerable shook his head.” Since the Saint has chosen the Red Dust Trial, we shouldn’t interfere with what happens. Otherwise, what’s the point of this Red Dust Trial?”
After being persuaded by his companions, the Venerable nodded and pretended that he had not seen anything.
Inside the Imperial Beast Pavilion in Gu City, Yang Chen closed the door after Liu Ruxue left.
Then, he put on a mask. In an instant, his entire appearance changed drastically.
Then, Yang Chen walked out of the back door of the Imperial Beast Pavilion and began to stroll around Gu City.
This was something that Yang Chen had repeated every year for the past few decades.
He wanted to travel around this small city and see if he could obtain some understanding of the mortal world.
“Those who come from the south and those who go from the north, stop your footsteps and come to our shop to have a cup of hot tea.”
“Speaking of which, three hundred years ago…”
“Chaos! Good chaos!”
Yang Chen was not annoyed by the sounds around him. Instead, he enjoyed it.
Sometimes, he even went to bargain with the stall owner and enjoyed the life he had never experienced before.
However, although these days were good, it did not help him to comprehend the Great Dao. This made Yang Chen very distressed. What exactly did the will of all living beings refer to?
After strolling around for another two hours, Yang Chen returned to the Imperial Beast Pavilion and continued to read through the book all night.
At the same time, Gu City fell into silence.
However, a mountain range thousands of miles away was not as desolate as Gu City.
Glancing at the pitch-black mountain range, a soldier on a pass spat.” Damn it, this is not a job that a human can do.””
“Not only is it tough, but we also have to bear the danger. If the demon beasts in this mountain range want to change their taste, us brothers won’t be able to bear the consequences.”
“Isn’t that so?” This person’s words were like a spark that lit up a dry wood. For a moment, the voice of complaint frowned.
“This group of beasts always want to come out and attack our human race. What do you think those experts are thinking? Why don’t they exterminate this group of beasts?”
“How would I know? Maybe the strong have their own considerations, or maybe the strong can’t wipe them out.”
“We can’t exterminate them? Do you mean that there are terrifying demon beasts in this mountain range that even our dynasty’s ancestor can’t defeat?”
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
Everyone’s forehead was covered in cold sweat as they focused their attention on the person who had just spoken.
When that person saw this, he swallowed his saliva and immediately said,”I’m only hearing what you say.”
“Alright, don’t keep me in suspense.”Everyone urged.
That person hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and saying,”Alright, then I’ll say it. Everyone should be clear that our dynasty’s ancestor has the strength to reach the third level.”
“The reason why the demon beasts in this mountain range are usually so quiet is because of the fear of the ancestor.”
“But recently, a demon emperor in this mountain range has broken through to the middle stage of the demon emperor realm.”
“To us humans, this is an existence that has reached the fourth level at the very least.
It’s also because of this Demon Sovereign’s breakthrough that the demon beasts in the mountain range are not obedient. That’s why we’re guarding this pass so frequently.”
Hearing this, the soldiers guarding the pass could not help but shiver.
If this was true, wouldn’t they be in a very dangerous situation?
“No, is this true? How could I not believe that a mere soldier like you would have such a source of information?”Someone said in disbelief.
“No, I already said that I heard it by chance. I’m not sure if it’s true or not. However, I’m sure that what I said is what I heard. I…”
“Roar!”
That person’s face was flushed red. Just as he was about to retort, a beast roar came from the mountain range.
Immediately after, pairs of blood-red beast eyes that emitted a bloodthirsty aura appeared in the dark night.
“Demonic beasts are attacking!”
All of a sudden, the soldiers and martial artists at the pass reacted.
Immediately, the array was activated and the spiritual energy ballistae were prepared, vowing to stop these demon beasts.
Unfortunately, it was futile.
The beast tide this time was far more powerful than before. Terrifying demon beasts all over the mountains and plains rushed down at the same time. This small pass could not withstand it at all.
In less than an hour, the mountain pass had turned into ruins.
As for the demon beasts, they passed through the pass and charged into the dynasty.
The next morning.
Yang Chen opened the door and stretched. He was about to start his business when he suddenly froze.
Today’s Gu City was a little different from the past. Many people packed their bags and ran to the north gate with all their might.
Seeing this, Yang Chen stopped someone.” Brother, what happened?””
The person who was stopped wanted to get angry, but when he saw that it was Yang Chen who stopped him, he quickly said honestly,”It’s Boss Chen.”
“It’s like this. According to the news from the county government and the merchants passing by, the demon beasts officially broke into Liyang County late last night. The entire county was trampled by the demon beasts and became a purgatory on earth.”
“This Liyang County is only a few hundred miles away from us. It won’t be long before the demonic beasts come to our Valley City, so everyone wants to escape as soon as possible..”
