We're practicing all martial arts, so why did you switch to easy mode?

“Su Chen, I sensed the aura of a Martial Immortal in the passage just now. Someone is spying on us.”

The two arrived in a desolate desert, which looked like a yellow sand desert. Before Su Chen could even observe the environment, Gu Xiaoyao said in a deep voice.

He also learned a lot about the Ten Directions World from Su Chen.

Knowing the difference between the cultivation systems of the Gu Master World and the Ten Directions World, the Gu Immortals of the Gu Master World correspond to the Martial Immortals of the Ten Directions World.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen frowned, but he did not notice anything unusual.

But since Gu Xiaoyao said that, there must be a reason, after all, the gap between the two sides is huge.

He might not be able to detect Wu Jixian's spying.

So Su Chen asked, "Do you know where he is?"

He inexplicably thought of the extremely dark formation he had witnessed upon his return, and combined with Gu Xiaoyao's words, he felt a sense of unease.

Gu Xiaoyao thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be in another world. This person is very strong. I am no match for him. If he hadn't attacked us and stirred up the power of space, I probably wouldn't have been able to detect it."

His tone was heavy. As a Martial Immortal, he was quite alarmed to encounter such a powerful expert so soon after arriving in the Ten Directions World.

In particular, the fact that his 80,000 years of cultivation seemed utterly useless in front of the other party made him even more uneasy.

There was also excitement.

Indeed, his decision to follow Su Chen to the Ten Directions World was correct.

This world is indeed much stronger than theirs. In the world of Gu Masters, he is the only Gu Immortal.

In the Ten Directions World, although it cannot be said that fairylands are everywhere, they can be encountered casually, which shows that Martial Immortals are not uncommon in this world.

Su Chen was unaware of Gu Xiaoyao's thoughts and was pondering what he had just said.

After thinking for a moment, he gave up. At present, he had too little information and could not be sure whether the other party was a demon.

He steadied himself, looked around, and released his primordial spirit, preparing to explore the environment.

"There seem to be people from your world up ahead. Shall we go and take a look?"

Just then, Gu Xiaoyao spoke up, pointing to the desert ahead.

However, Su Chen did not detect any aura in this direction.

However, he didn't care and nodded, saying, "Okay, let's go take a look and find someone to ask us where we are."

The two flew forward.

After flying for a full half hour, Su Chen finally sensed the presence and looked at Gu Xiaoyao in surprise.

Gu Xiaoyao noticed Su Chen's gaze and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"nothing!"

He looked away, unable to hide his surprise; the other person's perception was far too sharp.

At first, he thought that the distance ahead that Gu Xiaoyao mentioned was at most a hundred miles, but now it seems that he had greatly underestimated the other party's perception.

The two flew for half an hour, covering at least a thousand miles.

In other words, the other party's perception was thousands of miles farther away than his.

The difference is rather absurd.

"Hmm? No, this is... the aura of a demon!"

Surprised, Su Chen suddenly paused, then his expression changed.

Before Gu Xiaoyao could ask any questions, Su Chen vanished in a flash.

"This boy!"

Gu Xiaoyao paused for a moment, then followed closely behind.

Although he didn't know what the Heavenly Demon Su Chen was talking about was, judging from Su Chen's expression, it didn't seem to be anything special.

……

In the vast, boundless desert.

It's not all desert; there are also oases.

In a dense forest.

clap clap clap!
"Get to work faster, you bunch of good-for-nothings! Why are you so slow when I ask you to do something? If you keep dawdling, don't blame me for beating you to death. Remember, if you don't do it, there are plenty of others who will!"

clap clap clap!
A roar rang out, followed by a continuous series of whipping sounds.

Amidst the resounding crack of the whips, mournful howls echoed through the forest.

"You dare to yell?!"

clap clap clap!
Hearing the cries of the crowd, an ugly-looking man wielding a long whip lashed out even harder.

Fortunately, this time those who were whipped learned their lesson; they didn't continue to wail, but gritted their teeth and groaned.

Even when subjected to the most painful beatings, they dared not utter the slightest scream.

"Humans are so despicable! See? They won't listen to you at all if you just talk, but once you take action, they suffer losses, learn a lesson, and see blood, they all fall silent. So, what have you learned from this?"

The ugly man looked at his companion and asked.

"Brother, please forgive our ignorance. We don't know as much as you do. You've been in the Ten Directions World for much longer than us, so you must know more about the principles than we do. Why don't you tell us brothers if there's some profound truth behind it?" At this moment, a voice rang out.

As soon as he opened his mouth, you could hear how happy he was.

"Alright, since you are so sincere, I will tell you what you have learned from this."

He kept everyone in suspense, glanced around at his companions, and seeing the expectant looks on their faces, chuckled.
That is, if you can take action, you should never waste words.

As soon as he said this, thunderous applause erupted in the room.

"it is good!"

"That's truly a profound saying."

"We still need to use this method to deal with these people."

"..."

The ugly fellow gloated as his companions boasted.

"Made."

Upon hearing this, the group of martial artists spat inwardly and muttered a curse under their breath.

"If our Yuan Power hadn't been bound, how could we have allowed these Heavenly Demons to run rampant!"

"Stop talking, we're lucky to have survived."

"Yes, think of the sect, think of our master, they are all dead. We should be content to be alive, even if it's just barely clinging to life."

"Hmph, you Huangsha Sect disciples still have the nerve to talk like that? If it weren't for the betrayal of your elders, how could our three major sects have been conquered by the Heavenly Demons!"

"That's right, you killed so many of our fellow disciples, and you still have the nerve to speak up for the Heavenly Demon!"

"..."

clap clap clap!
As the group was talking, several more lashes came flying at them.

It seems that the words of that ugly demon had an effect, and the others followed suit.

Without any nonsense, he immediately started beating these people.

They smoked with great gusto, laughing heartily as they did so, building their own pleasure on the suffering of others.

Seeing their angry but speechless expressions, they laughed even harder.

not far away.

"Is this the Heavenly Demon you speak of? It's very similar to the aura of that giant star we saw before."

Before long, Gu Xiaoyao caught up with Su Chen and saw the Heavenly Demon fighting human warriors.

The moment he saw the Heavenly Demon, he finally understood why Su Chen had such a huge emotional fluctuation.

It was truly the aura of a Heavenly Demon, unlike anything one would expect from the Ten Directions World. He had also not learned from Su Chen that the Ten Directions World contained Heavenly Demons.

Thinking back to the scene before entering the Ten Directions World, an absurd idea inexplicably popped into his mind.

That is, the Heavenly Demon is invading the Ten Directions World.

Of course, he was still unsure about this matter, since the passage connected the Heavenly Demon World and the Ten Directions World, and even he could not determine which world was the starting point and which world was the ending point.

Su Chen did not answer. The moment he saw this group of people, he knew where he was.

It is a desert of yellow sand.

Although the group of people before him were dressed in tattered clothes, their attire was still vaguely discernible. If his guess was correct, these people were disciples of the Yellow Sand Sect, the Hidden Moon Sect, and the Blood Shadow Sect.

"What happened?"

Faced with this scene, Su Chen was filled with doubt.

Without further hesitation, he leaped forward and suddenly appeared in front of the group.

Everyone was startled by Su Chen's sudden appearance.

Especially those demons, they never expected that there would be any survivors in the yellow sand desert.

After a moment, one of the demons finally reacted.

However, just as he was about to make a move, he saw Su Chen refine all the Heavenly Demons with a wave of his hand.

He quickly learned what had happened from the Heavenly Demon's memories.

His worst fears came true; the Heavenly Demons did indeed invade the Ten Directions World.

This incident originated ten years ago.

Ten years ago, Ji Ziyang, the sect leader of Ziyang Sect, sent an avatar to the Demon Cave to rescue him, but the rescue failed.

Later, the Demon Cave was completely sealed away by a group of martial arts immortals.

They thought the matter was over, but unexpectedly, the sealed demon cave became a huge hidden danger.

The reason is that the Heavenly Demon had already set up various methods in the Demon Cave to deceive Wu Jixian.

After Wu Jixian was bewitched, they spent ten years gathering at the Demon Cave.

Once the seal is broken, we can invade the ten directions of the world in one fell swoop.

As a result, almost the entire Heavenly Demon Realm mobilized, with 108 Heavenly Demon Kings simultaneously taking action to break the seal on the Demon Cave.

This process was not long, taking nearly nine years.

A year later, the Heavenly Demons officially invaded, plunging the Ten Directions World into dire straits.

Compared to the Heavenly Demon World, the Ten Directions World was not considered powerful, so it suffered repeated defeats when facing the Heavenly Demon.

Many forces perished in this protracted war.

This includes the Ten Holy Kingdoms.

Now, less than nine out of ten survive!

Even the ten most powerful holy kingdoms in the Ten Directions World could not withstand the invasion of the Heavenly Demons.

Not to mention second-rate forces like Huang Shamen.

Before long, the yellow sand desert was occupied by the Heavenly Demon.

All forces in the desert were wiped out, and the warriors under these forces were all enslaved and used by the Heavenly Demon.

After reviewing everyone's messages, Su Chen's face turned completely grim.

"Master, Senior Brother Li Mo, Junior Sister Su Rou, Zhu Yan, Zu Peng... then wouldn't they be..."

His face turned ashen as he considered the worst possible outcome.

Even the Ten Great Holy Kingdoms were routed by the invasion of the Heavenly Demon, so he had to worry about the safety of Hong Ming and the others.

The Great Qian Dynasty was just a small dynasty; how could it possibly withstand the Heavenly Demon?

"No, I have to go back to the Great Qian Dynasty!"

Su Chen quickly made a decision.

"Thank you for saving me. May I ask your name?"

Just then, a voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts, waking him from his worries.

An old man in tattered clothes stepped forward and asked Su Chen, who remained silent.

Upon hearing this, the others expressed their gratitude to Su Chen.

"Su Chen of the Purple Sun Sect!"

Su Chen did not conceal his identity, made a casual remark, and then turned and left.

"Su Chen of the Ziyang Sect?"

"This name sounds familiar."

"It's him!"

"He's the disciple who got Ji Ziyang to take action ten years ago, Su Chen. Isn't he dead?"

"Su Chen, Su Chen, it's that Su Chen who offended the Holy Origin Sect!"

"He... he actually came back."

"..."

……

"Old Gu, can you help me predict the fortune of my relatives and friends?"

On the way back to the Great Qian Dynasty, Su Chen suddenly thought of something and looked at Gu Xiaoyao.

Gu Xiaoyao had already guessed what was going on from Su Chen's expression. After hearing Su Chen's words, he thought for a moment and said, "I can try, but as you know, the two worlds are different, and I'm not sure if the Gu worms will be effective."

"Yes. Thank you for your help." Su Chen said thank you.

Gu Xiaoyao closed his eyes, and after a while, he said, "Give me a drop of your blood, and tell me the birth dates and times of your relatives and friends."

"Alright." Su Chen forced out a drop of blood. "Master Hong Ming's birth date and time are..."

He recited the birth dates of his relatives and friends one by one. He knew people like his master Hong Ming and his senior brother Li Mo, but he was not so sure about Zhu Yan and Zu Peng. However, based on his understanding of Zhu Yan and Zu Peng, he figured that the two of them would not die so easily at the hands of the Heavenly Demon.

Right now, his biggest worry is still Hong Ming and Li Mo.

"Don't worry, they're fine. Their exact location should be..."

Gu Xiaoyao calculated for a moment, pointed in a direction, and said to Su Chen.

"That's... the direction of the Ziyang Sect? Could they be at the Ziyang Sect? No, the Ziyang Sect was breached by the Heavenly Demons long ago, so where could they be?"

In any case, at least Su Chen knew they were alright, and that was enough. As for their location, he could find it later.

"Then let's go there to look."

Knowing the direction of Hong Ming and the others, Su Chen immediately had an idea.

Gu Xiaoyao did not refuse. He knew that Su Chen was already in a state of confusion, and even if he tried to stop him, the other party might not listen.

However, he still reminded him, "Su Chen, there are many Heavenly Demons in this direction!"

"Then kill them all!"

Su Chen left behind a sentence and then disappeared.

The murderous intent contained in his words startled even Gu Xiaoyao.

Watching Su Chen walk away, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he still followed after him.

Su Chen moved very fast, hardly daring to waste a single moment, but even so, Gu Xiaoyao still followed closely behind him.

An hour later.

The two were about to reach the edge of the yellow sand desert.

Before the two could even leave the desert, a thunderous sound resounded:

"stop!"

The sound was quite abrupt.

The sound was so sudden that both Su Chen and Gu Xiaoyao were startled.

Su Chen was shocked because he had already concealed his aura, and even a martial artist at the Divine Power Realm might not be able to detect it.

Gu Xiaoyao was shocked because he was the same, but his scope was wider, concealing both Su Chen and himself.

Apart from Wu Jixian, no one else could detect it at all.

And now, someone has actually noticed it.

The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw a stunningly beautiful woman. Her alluring aura made his usually calm heart clench, and his pupils rippled.

"It's you!" (End of Chapter)
