Celestial Emperor of Devouring
Chapter 272 - 262: We Can’t Let Him Escape
CHAPTER 272: CHAPTER 262: WE CAN’T LET HIM ESCAPE
"The guild is pretty slow today, so I’ll head out first."
Seeing the extremely shocked Great Demon King and his companions, Gu Chenfeng smiled faintly and said, "Help me thank Elder Tianjizi later, I’m leaving now."
A short while later.
Gu Chenfeng arrived at the guild plaza.
Looking at the gigantic serpentine queues and the densely packed shadows in the sky, Gu Chenfeng felt his scalp tingle.
The scene was truly magnificent.
One had to admit, the cultivators in the Cultivation Realm were utterly crazy.
"Hurry up! Hurry up!"
"Elder Zhu, how many elixirs are left?"
"Eighteen left, I’ve been counting, just enough to sell out when it’s my turn."
In the snaking queues, everyone looked anxious.
A few minutes later.
A guild alchemist smiled faintly and said, "The two hundred Nine Revolutions Primordial Spirit Pills are sold out, please come back tomorrow, everyone."
Upon hearing this.
The cultivators who hadn’t bought the elixirs all looked disappointed.
But for the sake of purchasing the Nine Revolutions Primordial Spirit Pill, the queues did not disperse, no one was willing to leave, preferring to wait until the next day.
"Elixirs are selling really well." Gu Chenfeng grinned.
Gu Chenfeng only glanced over briefly and didn’t linger, striding away quickly.
But just at that moment.
Yao Xuanling, looking at the crowd, unintentionally spotted a familiar figure.
"Huh?" Yao Xuanling turned her head again, stared intently, and then exclaimed in shock, "Gu Chenfeng!"
"Gu Chenfeng?" Xiao Yang and Huangfu Tian were taken aback first.
Yao Xuanling pointed at Gu Chenfeng who was about to leave in the distance and said, "Brother Xiao, that’s Gu Chenfeng!"
Xiao Yang and the others followed the direction Yao Xuanling was pointing.
When Xiao Yang saw clearly, he frowned and said, "It really is him! He is Gu Chenfeng! The one I saw at the Su Family, it’s him!"
"That’s right! It’s him!" exclaimed a disciple confidently, "I saw him in the Martial King’s Mansion!"
Disciple Liu frowned and said, "It really is the same person."
Huangfu Tian asked in surprise, "Is that guy the one you’re looking for?"
"Yes." Xiao Yang nodded and said fiercely, "The Sect Leader sent word, this person cannot be allowed to live, he must be killed as soon as possible."
Huangfu Tian quickly reminded, "Don’t rush, this is the guild, it’s not suitable to take action here. We already have the elixirs, let’s just follow him for now."
"Big Brother Huangfu is right," Yao Xuanling said gravely, "Not to mention it would violate the guild’s rules, the Su Family Patriarch is also here and would certainly help Gu Chenfeng."
"Let’s follow him first, I’ll immediately contact Uncle-Master," Xiao Yang frowned and said, and the group followed quickly.
"Is that necessary?" Huangfu Tian was taken aback, and then chased after them, saying, "Is that guy really that formidable? Can’t we handle him with so many of us?"
Xiao Yang shook his head slightly and said, "Big Brother Huangfu, this is a matter of the Heavenly Dao Sect, I don’t wish to involve you, and that guy is indeed no ordinary person."
"No ordinary person? Tell me more," Huangfu Tian grew more curious.
Xiao Yang frowned and said, "That guy possesses Ice Attribute Spiritual Power, even when he was at the Golden Core Stage, he wiped out the entire Martial King’s Mansion, killing the Martial King at the Nascent Soul Stage with his Golden Core stage cultivation."
"Oh? Ice Attribute? Slaying a Nascent Soul Stage with a Golden Core Stage?" Huangfu Tian was shocked, his eyes widened.
"Exactly," Xiao Yang nodded and said, "Just a few days ago, I encountered him at the Su Family in the Imperial City, he has already broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage; his Ice Attribute Spiritual Power is terrifying, his true strength might even contend with the Soul Emergence Stage."
"A Nascent Soul Stage able to contend with a Soul Emergence Stage? Is that guy really that strong?" Huangfu Tian was shocked once again, entirely unable to believe it.
Beside him, Yao Xuanling supplemented, "Big Brother Huangfu, his cultivation has progressed very rapidly, he must have gained a great opportunity, in just a few months, he broke through from the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment to the Nascent Soul Stage."
"What? In just a few months he broke through from Foundation Establishment to Nascent Soul? How is this possible?" Huangfu Tian was so shocked that his whole body trembled, his soul almost fled from fear.
Huangfu Tian had seen terrifying prodigies before, but such a freakish advancement in just a few months from Foundation Establishment to Nascent Soul, he had never heard of.
This unimaginable speed of enhancement had already exceeded Huangfu Tian’s realm of understanding, making it difficult for him to imagine, let alone comprehend.
Seeing the incredibly shocked Huangfu Tian, Xiao Yang frowned and said, "To be honest, if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it either. It’s precisely for this reason that the Sect Leader decided to eliminate him quickly."
Disciple Liu said fiercely, "Uncle-Master will arrive soon, killing Gu Chenfeng will be a breeze, we absolutely cannot let him escape."
However.
Besides Yao Xuanling and her companions, a member of the Fire Spirit Race also noticed Gu Chenfeng.
"He’s... that kid from that day." A hint of fierceness flashed in the eyes of the Fire Spirit clansman, instantly recognizing Gu Chenfeng.
This member of the Fire Spirit Race was the leader who had blocked Gu Chenfeng in the Desolate Realm.
"Huo Qing, what’s wrong?" another clansman asked, looking in the direction Huo Qing was staring at Gu Chenfeng.
Huo Qing pointed at Gu Chenfeng and said, "Brother Huo Lin, that kid is the one who disregarded our clan’s obstruction and forcibly entered the Southern Observation Wilderness."
Huo Lin glanced at Gu Chenfeng and said coldly, "Just a brat, no need to bother with him."
Huo Qing continued, "Brother Huo Lin, our clan has investigated for so long without any progress, the Clan Leader said that Fire Dragon might very well be related to that kid."
"The seal was fine initially, but that Fire Dragon suddenly became restless, and the only intruder back then was him, the Clan Leader said we must capture him if we see him again."
"Capture him?" Huo Lin frowned and said, "It’s our turn to purchase elixirs tomorrow, capturing him now could waste a lot of time before we could acquire the elixirs."
"Moreover, this is the guild, it’s unsuitable to make a move, once the rules are broken, even the Clan Leader won’t be able to help."
"Brother Huo Lin, I will personally capture him, this kid is only at the Golden Core Stage, I am enough on my own," Huo Qing said fiercely, very confident in his own strength, and then quickly followed Gu Chenfeng.
Huo Lin nodded and said, "Capture that kid, and you head back first."
As a strong practitioner at the Soul Emergence Stage, Huo Qing naturally wasn’t afraid of Gu Chenfeng.
Back in the Desolate Realm, if Gu Chenfeng hadn’t used a miraculous body technique, he wouldn’t have been able to escape Huo Qing’s grasp.
As Gu Chenfeng flew away from the guild, he detected someone tailing him.
"Middle Stage of Soul Emergence," Gu Chenfeng grinned, showing no fear.
However, when Gu Chenfeng expanded his divine sense to probe, his expression slightly changed, he halted, and said in astonishment, "Yao Xuanling?"
That’s right!
Gu Chenfeng sensed Yao Xuanling’s presence.
Gu Chenfeng frowned slightly and said, "So that day the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect indeed recognized me, I didn’t expect them to send disciples to kill me so soon."
When he was at the Su Family, upon sensing the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect, Gu Chenfeng had suspected that they would take action.
He just didn’t expect it would be so soon.
Having stopped, Gu Chenfeng didn’t continue leaving.
