Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 605 447 Final Battle at Qi Yun Mountain
The Emperor's study room at this moment.
After the morning court session, Gu Chen and Qin Wu followed the newly crowned Emperor Ji Yuan into the study room.
"In just two days, it will be the final deadline given by the six sacred lands, Gu Chen. I am prepared to hand over full authority to you. Is there anything you need my assistance with?" Ji Yuan, with a solemn face, looked at Gu Chen.
Hearing this, Qin Wu also turned his serious gaze toward Gu Chen.
Indeed, declaring war with the six sacred lands was no small matter, necessitating their utmost caution.
Given Da Xia's current strength, even with the addition of eleven top martial arts grandmasters, waging war against the six sacred lands was akin to an egg hitting a rock; the chances of victory were exceedingly slim.
However, regardless of the odds, they believed in Gu Chen and were willing to give it a try.
Who could have expected that Gu Chen would shake his head and say, "Your Majesty, there's no need for you to do anything, and the same goes for Commander Qin."
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan and Qin Wu were somewhat puzzled, not understanding Gu Chen's intention.

However, their expressions soon changed. Qin Wu said sternly, "Are you planning to face them alone?"
Ji Yuan also frowned, saying, "No, you alone can't possibly withstand the six sacred lands."
Understanding Gu Chen's intentions, Ji Yuan and Qin Wu immediately disagreed.
They both knew that Gu Chen wanted to bear the burden alone to avoid implicating Da Xia. But in their view, with the six sacred lands' strength, all of Da Xia would find it hard to resist, let alone Gu Chen alone.
"Did the Tower Supervisor agree to this?" Qin Wu asked gravely, looking at Gu Chen.
Gu Chen nodded and said, "When I returned to Tiandu, I had already met with the Tower Supervisor."
Hearing that the Tower Supervisor agreed, Ji Yuan and Qin Wu fell silent.
After all, they knew that the Tower Supervisor possessed the Heavenly Staring Skill, capable of deducing the world's major trends and predicting celestial secrets. If the Tower Supervisor agreed, there must be a corresponding reason.
The Tower Supervisor certainly wouldn't send Gu Chen to his death.
At this moment, Gu Chen spoke up, "Rest assured, I wouldn't do this without sufficient assurance. Compared to myself, if Da Xia openly declared war against the six sacred lands, the nature of it would be different. It's possible that even top martial experts in the Coagulation Field would take action."
Hearing this, Qin Wu and Ji Yuan also nodded, understanding that because of the presence of the Tower Supervisor in Da Xia, declaring war would prompt the six sacred lands to obliterate Da Xia with overwhelming force.
However, if it were just Gu Chen alone, it would be different. At the crucial moment of overseeing cross-boundary teleportation, the six sacred lands might not even send strongmen in the Coagulation Field.
Gu Chen smiled faintly and said, "Moreover, it's not as if all six sacred lands are coming. It's just the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, Mount Tianzhu, and Burning Heaven Valley. I can still manage."
With these words, Ji Yuan and Qin Wu immediately shook their heads and smiled bitterly. Such confident words could only come from Gu Chen. There were few people in the world who dared to belittle the six sacred lands like he did.
People would faint from fright or wet their pants upon hearing that the six sacred lands were targeting them. Only Gu Chen maintained an air of calmness, his words filled with powerful confidence.
To know that even with three sacred lands making joint efforts, how many in the entire world could resist?
"Since you are so confident, Gu Chen, I won't be a drag. I said this matter would be entirely in your hands. Whatever decisions you make, I will support them. If you need me for anything, just say so," Ji Yuan said sternly.
"I feel the same way," Qin Wu added.
"Thank you, Your Majesty and Commander Qin," Gu Chen said seriously, cupping his hands in salute to the two men.
No matter what, Gu Chen always remembered their loyalty.
On the other side, two days later, the deadline for the sacred lands' execution order arrived. As Da Xia remained silent, people knew that a battle shaking the entire Nine Provinces was inevitable.
"For one Gu Chen, is it worth risking all of Da Xia?" somebody sighed.
"In my opinion, the young emperor of Da Xia is still too impetuous. If King Huai were in power, this wouldn't have happened."
"The six sacred lands are such formidable entities. Does Da Xia still think it's twenty years ago? The current Da Xia only has one Tower Supervisor holding things up. How can they contend with the six sacred lands?"
"I predict Tiandu will be breached within a few days, and Da Xia will become history!"
In the meantime, as the world discussed ceaselessly, the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, Mount Tianzhu, and Burning Heaven Valley, seeing that Da Xia had no intention of handing Gu Chen over, directly announced their intention to trample Tiandu.
Suddenly, a storm arose throughout the Nine Provinces, and the situation became extremely tense.
Additionally, those martial forces that submitted to Da Xia became increasingly anxious. If Da Xia were destroyed, who knew if the six sacred lands would implicate them?
The barbarian tribes and Da Yuan, upon learning of this news, showed visible joy, especially the Da Yuan Emperor Toumuer. Originally bedridden and weak due to the breakthrough of Da Xia's eleven guardians, he suddenly became revitalized.
The strength of the six sacred lands was known throughout the Nine Provinces without a doubt.
But soon, within just one morning, explosive news spread from within Tiandu.
