Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 515 - 387 Supreme and Great_2
```
Digging up the area around Sishui City by three feet is no small affair; if the foundation is damaged, it could even affect the entire Sishui City.
And judging by the looks of these two young men, they are utterly reckless. Once they make a move, they will surely not hold back, and the probability of Sishui City being affected is very high.
"I have already sent a message to the state city, but as of now, Lord Gu is in closed-door cultivation so..." the city lord of Sishui City said hesitantly.
The young man who had spoken furrowed his brows and said, "What do you mean, we have to wait for him to come out?"
The other, with a cold expression, said, "I’ll give you two more days to have Gu Chen come to see me promptly, otherwise, I will take matters into my own hands. At that time, if the common people here are affected, it will have nothing to do with us."
"This..." Upon hearing this, the city lord of Sishui City’s face drastically changed.
At this moment, a minor official hastened over to the side of the city lord of Sishui City and whispered in his ear, "Lord Gu and Master Liang have arrived."
"Quickly, invite them in!" The city lord of Sishui City, upon hearing these words, was as if granted amnesty, and a trace of joy appeared on his face.
With the arrival of Gu Chen and Liang Zhao, he would no longer need to deal with these two men. These two young and powerful men were way too overbearing, making the city lord of Sishui City feel uncomfortable and difficult to contend with.
Neither the authority of Da Xia nor that of Jing Tian Department, nor even the name of Gu Chen, could deter these two men.
"Sirs, Lord Gu Chen has arrived," said the city lord of Sishui City to the two enigmatic young men.
"Finally."
"Putting on quite the show, making us wait so long." The two young men spoke one after the other, their tone even somewhat disdainful.
Soon, led by the minor official, Gu Chen and Liang Zhao arrived at the spot and met the two young men.
"So, you are Gu Chen?"
Both had an arrogant demeanor, and upon seeing Gu Chen, they did not budge, still sitting at the top, looking down from their high position as if a sovereign inspecting his subjects.
Such an attitude and tone immediately caused the Governor of Youzhou, Liang Zhao, to frown.
Gu Chen’s expression was calm, and he was not annoyed. Instead, he slowly said, "So it’s you two who wanted to see me?"
"We hear you are the one in charge here now?" they asked.
"Indeed," Gu Chen nodded slightly, his eyes moving slightly as he sized up the two men.
With his current perception, he could sense that the life force of these two was very vibrant, and they were certainly not some old monsters in disguise, but truly of the same age as him, roughly speaking.
Being able to have such cultivation at this age, it was clear to Gu Chen that, just like the mysterious woman before, these two men came from the same place.
If not, they wouldn’t have this attitude upon seeing Gu Chen, so arrogant, obviously with something to rely on.
"Very well, we’ve already been waiting for you a day and a night, and now you shall immediately send people to dig up the surrounding area for a hundred li, and be fast about it. It would be better if you take action personally. I want to see the results by tomorrow."
"For a hundred li?!" Upon hearing this, the city lord of Sishui City’s complexion changed; this range was a bit too broad.
"Isn’t that a bit too much?"
Master Liang’s expression darkened. Where exactly did these two come from? Why were they so forceful? They didn’t explain anything and only used an imperative tone to make Gu Chen work for them, to dig up the area for a hundred li? That was impossible!
"Hmm, what, by the looks of it, you don’t seem very willing?" they said. "It’s not just here; there are other places. I will mark them for you later, and you’ll need to thoroughly search a hundred li around each one."
"Sorry, we can’t do that!" Master Liang said sternly.
Such an imperious manner in giving instructions, who did these two think they were, the emperor?
The attitude of these two young men was really far too arrogant and disrespectful. From the moment Gu Chen and Liang Zhao entered until now, they had not looked at them directly, always gazing down upon Gu Chen with a condescending view.
"You can’t?"
Hearing Master Liang’s words, the two imposing young men showed a hint of a mocking smile and said, "That’s fine if you can’t do it. We will simply start right here later on, saving you the trouble. We can do it ourselves."
"You dare?!"
Upon hearing this, Master Liang’s expression changed. This was an unabashed threat. If two innate realm martial grandmasters started fighting within the city, the citizens here would likely die instantly.

"Who gave you the courage to speak to me in such a manner?" Gu Chen asked in an even tone, devoid of any anger.
"Courage?" Hearing this, the two young men immediately laughed, but their smiles were devoid of any warmth, instead carrying a hint of coldness.
Looking down on Gu Chen from their lofty position, they said, "You’re nothing but frogs at the bottom of a well. We’ve deigned to lower ourselves to speak with you rabble, you should feel fortunate. And now you dare to disobey our orders and go against us?"
Enraged, Liang Zhao pointed at the two men and shouted, "Who do you think you are, the emperor? How dare you be so brazen?!"
"The emperor?"
The two young men suddenly stood up, and a shocking aura burst forth from their bodies, causing the air pressure to soar and the entire government residence to shake.
"To you lot, prisoners of a broken world, we might as well be gods!"
"Now, you will either do as I say obediently, or I will kill all of you, along with everyone in this city!"
The two men’s eyes were cold, their entire beings emanated murderous intent, showing they held no regard for human life.
In their eyes, the lives of the Nine Provinces were no different from livestock.
"You..." Overcome with shock and anger, Liang Zhao said, "How dare you commit such an outrage? Could it be that you come from the Six Sacred Lands?!"
"Hahahahaha..."
Upon hearing the words "Six Sacred Lands," the two young men laughed wildly, their smiles arrogant and unrestrained.
"The Six Sacred Lands? In our eyes, they’re nothing!"
"Even those from the Six Sacred Lands that you speak of would need to kneel before us!"
Hearing this, Liang Zhao’s mouth hung open, too shocked to speak.
Aside from Gu Chen, this was the first time he had seen anyone so arrogant as to regard the Six Sacred Lands as worthless.
"To you frogs at the bottom of the well, our arrival here is akin to that of deities. Behave yourselves, and if we’re pleased, we might even bestow some rewards upon you. But if we’re displeased..."

The two young men’s expressions were harsh as they rebuked, "We will slaughter you all, without leaving a single one alive!"
"Lord Gu..." Having no other choice, Liang Zhao turned his heavy gaze towards Gu Chen.
"Calling us frogs at the bottom of a well all the time, what, do you think you’re so grand?" Gu Chen asked calmly, standing there.
Smirking condescendingly, the two young men said, "Compared to you, of course we’re grand, even supreme. You’re nothing but pitiful creatures trapped at the bottom of a well, utterly ignorant of the vast world beyond!" They stood there, looking down on Gu Chen, full of a sense of superiority.
"What Da Xia dynasty, what Jing Tian Department, they’re all worthless in our eyes. We’re giving you a chance to submit to us, to be our servants. If you serve us loyally, you might have the chance to see a broader world."
Seeing that Gu Chen was no ordinary person, the two young men had the audacity to speak such words, wanting Gu Chen to become their servant, to toil and serve them.
"Heh, amusing!"
Gu Chen laughed upon hearing this, never expecting someone would dare address him with such language at this point.
"Do you know what happened to the last person who said that to me?"
"What happened?" The two frowned.
"Their tomb grass must be about ten feet tall by now!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than an overwhelmingly terrifying aura that could shake heaven and earth surged out from Gu Chen’s body. The two young men could no longer maintain their haughty composure; they were completely taken aback.
Whoosh!
The next moment, Gu Chen was in front of the two, his arms reaching out like lightning to grasp their necks tightly before his figure flashed, disappearing from the governor’s mansion.
"This..." Seeing this, the governor of Sishui City was taken aback.

Speaking with a grave voice, Liang Zhao said, "Leave everything to Lord Gu. With Lord Gu taking action, everything will surely be resolved!"
