Chapter 281 About to leave
Gu Yuchuan walked into the scout team on the left. There weren't many people here, but each one of them was a master, and most of them were even Demon Emperors. There weren't many Demon Kings. Clearly, he was the cultivator with the lowest cultivation level.
Beside him, a tiger king at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage looked at him disdainfully.
"Why can a cultivator in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm enter our scout team? Could it be that he's trying to steal the credit by using some back door? He thinks too highly of himself. I hope he doesn't die in the Canglan Realm as soon as he gets in."
His voice wasn't quiet, and many cultivators looked over. However, no one intervened. There must be many people who shared the same sentiment as the Tiger King. After all, apart from Gu Yuchuan, the lowest cultivation level here was at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage. The work of a scout is not something that just any cultivator can do.
However, they weren't stupid. Many of them knew Gu Yuchuan and were aware of his strength and talent. It was even said that he had been praised by the Demon Lord. Most of them were just watching for fun and didn't think the matter could escalate further, so they remained very quiet.
However, Gu Yuchuan had no intention of holding back. He looked at the Tiger King in front of him. He appeared to be a young man. In the demon race, appearance reflects one's heart, which meant that the Tiger King was a young and impetuous person. No wonder he dared to cause trouble at this time. What time is it now? It is the time for the army to assemble. Not to mention him, even a peak demon emperor would not dare to cause trouble.
He felt this was a good time to establish his authority. After all, his status was different now. Anyone else in the scout team could be replaced except him, but he couldn't. He was the only one who had been to the Canglan Realm, and he was the cultivator who should be the scout.
So what was he afraid of? He looked the tiger king up and down, his eyes full of provocation, as if he were the senior with higher cultivation.
"You're nothing but a demon king, what's there to be arrogant about? Besides, you're a fool. Where is this place? What time is this? How dare you act so wildly? Do you look down on the Demon Lord?"
The tiger king realized his mistake, his face turning bright red. But everyone around was watching; if he retreated now, wouldn't he lose all face? No, he was a tiger, the king of the jungle, with a formidable reputation in the inner region of Yunhai Marsh. He couldn't be underestimated.
Actually, Gu Yuchuan's assessment of him as foolish was quite accurate. If he stopped now, at most he would lose face and be ridiculed for a while, but in reality, he would suffer no loss. After all, war was imminent, and no one would spread the word. However, if he continued to cause trouble, the outcome would be different.
He quickly took two steps to stand in front of Gu Yuchuan, his face extremely fierce: "What are you talking about, you stinking snake? I was just questioning how you got into this scout team, where did I mention the Demon Lord? Believe me or not, I'll teach you a lesson!"
Gu Yuchuan's pupils dilated for a moment. No, how could there be such a stupid Golden Core stage expert in this world? He was just thinking about how to provoke the other party and make him make the first move. He was confident that as long as the other party made a move, he would definitely be suppressed. This is the Cloud Sea Heavenly Palace, the territory of the Demon Lord. He didn't even need to think about what would happen to those who acted wildly.
Gu Yuchuan continued with a cold laugh: "What's your rush? Is it because I'm right, because I've exposed your dark and evil thoughts, that you can only use a louder voice to cover up your panicked state? Am I right?"
As he spoke, he slowly approached the other person. Every step he took was full of power. It was as if he was stepping on clouds, but it was as if he was stepping on the other person's heart. The other person's heart pounded in response to Gu Yuchuan's footsteps, and their mind became increasingly confused.
He roared and unleashed a golden claw mark. A Jade Lake Demon King beside him gaped in shock and blurted out to his companion without thinking, "Wait, what's the background of this Tiger King? Is he that fierce? Does he dare to make a move here? Is he tired of living? Or does he think that the Demon Lord will cherish talent at a time like this and won't attack him?"
The next second, a bolt of lightning struck, blinding everyone. When the lightning subsided, the Tiger King was charred black and barely breathing. Clearly, its vital organs were severely damaged. Without proper healing, it would soon die. Even if it recovered, the damage would be so severe that it would never be able to advance to the Nascent Soul stage. What was the point?
Gu Yuchuan immediately bowed and said, "Thank you for standing up for me, Your Excellency, and for giving me justice."
Many people's expressions changed when they saw Gu Yuchuan. Not everyone can gain the attention of the Demon Lord. Many Demon Emperors have never spoken to the Demon Lord. Many people realized that Gu Yuchuan had some secret.
Soon, they arrived at the scout team's assembly point. Their leader was the Ice Profound Demon Emperor, a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Great Perfection stage. His true form was a giant ice-attribute python. It was said that he was related to the Demon Lord by blood and had always been the Demon Lord's core subordinate. He held a very high position in the entire Cloud Sea Marsh, as did his strength. It was said that he was a third-stage Golden Core cultivator, and an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator at the Great Perfection stage could not withstand more than a hundred moves from him.
He was dressed in a blue, close-fitting outfit, exuding a chilling aura that kept strangers at bay: "Silence. You all know what you're here for. After today's brief training, you'll be heading to the Canglan Realm. I hope that such things that affect unity will never happen again. Anyone who dares to lay a hand on your comrades will face certain death."
As you can see, the higher-ups took that little incident very seriously. And rightly so, if you can't even trust your own people, how can you unleash the full power of an army? It's practically a joke.
Everyone listened attentively to the Demon Emperor's instructions.
"Now, I'll give you a brief overview of the situation in the Canglan Realm. Azure Flood Dragon Demon King, you tell everyone. Many people may not know that this Azure Flood Dragon Demon King is the cultivator who established the teleportation array in the Canglan Realm. It is because of him that we have this opportunity. He is the core of the scout team. I hope you will listen to him more, understand?"
Now everyone understood. They weren't fools; they naturally knew how important information was for going to another world. Having someone who had been there before in their group greatly increased their safety.
Gu Yuchuan stepped forward and began to tell everyone about the Technological Immortal Path and the Forty-Eight Cities of the Immortal Path. This was something that many people had never heard of before, and since it concerned everyone's lives, everyone listened very attentively, afraid of missing even the slightest bit of information.
