Chapter 277: 276: The Demon Suppression Army Moves Out!
By the time he found Du Gang, Du Gang had pretty much absorbed nearly all the third-level essence.
After he left, Du Gang gathered the divine essence one more time, which completely filled up the divine energy in the second layer of the abyss.
Twelve thousand Naer of divine power!
His divine power is now plentiful; it’s completely different from when he first arrived in the abyss!
“Du Gang, you’re finally out!”
Dazhuang enthusiastically looked at Du Gang.
“What’s up?”
Du Gang was perplexed and didn’t know what the situation was.
Dazhuang hesitated for a moment and quickly said anxiously, “Du Gang, you need to escape quickly. More than a hundred families have joined forces; they want to give you a hard time…”
Over a hundred families?
Du Gang was taken aback and his eyebrows furrowed. He quickly relaxed, realizing it must be the people he had killed.
He asked, “Explain what exactly is going on!”
Seeing Du Gang remaining calm, Dazhuang also calmed down infected by his demeanor.
“This is what happened, not long after you entered the second layer of the abyss, news spread in the outside world that you had destroyed their gods and bodies in the abyss…”
“There are a lot of these people, several hundreds of them. The families that can be named amount to over a hundred. They all demand that you be handed over from the Ancient City…”
Dazhuang shook his head, “At that time, we all thought about going into the second layer of the abyss to find you, but we didn’t know where you were, so we didn’t go in…”
“After that, everyone took turns waiting here specifically for you…”
Hearing this, Du Gang couldn’t help but feel moved. He didn’t expect his teammates to be quite reliable; they didn’t completely ignore him nor did they abandon him.
Du Gang smiled and continued to ask, “What about the Ancient City? What did they say?”
Dazhuang began, “The Ancient City didn’t rush to make any decisions; they said they would wait until you came out…”
Du Gang nodded. If the Ancient City gave up on him so easily, that would indeed be strange.
“Anyway, now there are over a hundred families, and more than seven hundred gods of the Second Tribulation and Third Tribulation joined forces, wanting to give you a hard time!”
Dazhuang said all this in one breath, then looked at Du Gang as if urging him to leave quickly.
Du Gang smiled and said, “And where can I go? To roam?”
Dazhuang sighed, “Captain, there’s no other way now. What else can you do except for this?”
He couldn’t imagine how to survive after offending so many people.
Even if Du Gang is the Ancient God, the Ancient City might not be able to protect him, right?!
He thought, if the elders of the Ancient God were still alive, they might be able to protect him, but now, it was quite difficult.
Du Gang didn’t explain much, he directly pulled out the Message Jade Talisman and contacted Xiang Xinjian.
“Beep beep!”
Xiang Xinjian soon picked up.
“Du Gang, what’s up?”
His voice was very lazy, as if he had just woken up.
Without giving it much thought, Du Gang calmly said, “Master, someone in the abyss wants to kill me, what should I do?”
Xiang Xinjian smiled faintly, his face showing a knowing expression.
He had thought of it already; as someone like Du Gang, he would definitely record it in advance.
“The military strictly forbids all humans from killing each other in the abyss; they will not tolerate anyone who violates this…”
Du Gang laughed. He understood that Xiang Xinjian had known about it all long, and said, “Master, I have over three hundred Recording Stones here, you see…”
Xiang Xinjian laughed, and said, “We’ll go fifty-fifty with the extortion goods, I won’t covet your shares, we’ll split it in half!”
“How can this be considered extortion? It’s just my compensation…”
Du Gang tried to bargain for a larger percentage.
However, Xiang Xinjian wasn’t buying it, “Beat it, take it or leave it. Without me helping you demand, do you think the money is easy to get?”
Hearing him say this, Du Gang didn’t bother to bargain anymore, he promptly said, “Alright then, since it’s like this, I’ll leave it to Master…”
“Hmm, stay in the room, and I’ll send someone over to pick it up later!”
Listening to their conversation, Dazhuang was completely confused and didn’t understand what they meant.
Du Gang chuckled, “Those people were indeed killed by me, but the reason is that they wanted to kill me first!”
“I have kept the evidence of their crimes, and my master will come to collect it later…”
Dazhuang immediately looked ecstatic, “Sir, do you mean that you’re safe?”
Du Gang nodded and smiled, “I wouldn’t say I’m safe, there are many people who want me dead. You could say I merely avoided the crisis that you thought I was in!”
At the same time, he sighed quietly in his heart.
If he wasn’t an Ancient God, if he didn’t have value to exploit, he probably would’ve been like Dazhuang said, to flee from here.
“Apart from this matter, is there anything else?”
Without hesitation, Dazhuang said, “Besides your matter, there’s also the Hero Meeting…”
“That Yan Ruyu is hosting a Hero Meeting, which has drawn many people, all of them are talented youths. I even heard that there are powerhouse figures from the Human Ranking present!”
“This Hero Meeting hasn’t ended yet?”
Du Gang was confused. He had heard about it before he entered the abyss, and it’s still ongoing?
“No!”
Dazhuang shook his head, “Princess Ruyu hasn’t appeared yet, the Hero Meeting right now is merely a gathering for various prodigies to challenge each other and to engage…”
“So what is she hosting?”
Du Gang was puzzled, not understanding the purpose of this woman hosting this event.
Dazhuang chuckled, “Du Gang, you probably don’t know the specifics of this Hero Meeting, do you?!”
“Although I haven’t experienced it directly, I have seen quite a few cases. The so-called Hero Meeting didn’t just start hosting now, but it was the princess of the Dream Building who spread the news, gathering heroes from all over the world…”
“The heroes gathered here, will during this period challenge each other to gain their own reputation…”
“As for Princess Yan Ruyu, she will select from among these people who are strong, talented, or special skills to host the Hero Meeting!”
Du Gang was taken aback, “So this so-called Hero Meeting hasn’t started yet, this is just an appetizer?!”
“Correct!”
Dazhuang nodded, “The Hero Meeting is not solely by invitation for the nine tribulation god spirits, but regardless if you are of the first or several tribulations, as long as you are excellent, Princess Yan Ruyu might select you and send out an invitation…”
Du Gang understood.
This so-called Hero Meeting could just be a matchmaking event, screening potential suitors for her in advance.
This gathered so many people seems natural then.
“Now, quite a few people have made themselves famous in Happy Town…”
Da Zhuang excitedly said, “You don’t know, Long Aotian and Little Hawk King have already earned great reputations at Happy Town!”
Du Gang was taken aback, “Didn’t they go into the abyss?”
Da Zhuang shook his head and said, “At this time, it’s definitely more important to earn fame. Once you get the invitation, it means you have a chance to win the favor of Princess Yan Ruyu…”
Du Gang shrugged; he didn’t have much thought on this issue.
If it were given to him directly, he would want it, but if he had to compete with a bunch of other people and ingratiate himself with them he could not do that.
“Happy Town is now divided into two parts…”
“One part consists of entities above the Seven Tribulation God Spirit Level. These people are basically quite strong. There aren’t many of them and all of them are very confident. After all, people at this level basically belong to the middle and upper levels within each race…”
What Da Zhuang meant was that people of this level would not come out and make a fool of themselves without a certain degree of confidence.
He went on, coughed once, and said, “Uh, I heard a major family head from your Ancient City came over…”
A family head?
Du Gang was stunned and quickly responded, laughing, “A so-called family head is nothing more than a Nine Tribulation God Spirit Stage…”
Then he asked again, “Have any True Gods arrived at Happy Town?”
“No!”
Da Zhuang shook his head, “The Princess of Dream Building typically only invites people below the True God stage. Similarly, it’s said that the duo cultivation situation that can enhance cultivation can only be effective for God Spirit Level…”
Du Gang nodded, “So, basically, they are all God Spirit Level and are divided into two groups. One is slightly older and above Seven-Tribulation God Spirit Level, and the other is below Seven-Tribulation God Spirit Level?”
“Correct!”
Da Zhuang laughed, “Those above the level of Seven-Tribulation God Spirits have basically made a name for themselves. They all have the qualifications to be invited. Only those below Seven-Tribulation God Spirit Level need to continuously showcase themselves…”
“In fact, a lot of young disciples did not aim for Yan Ruyu, with so many people gathered here, many people came to make a name for themselves!”
“For them, whether they can win the beauty or not doesn’t matter. What matters is to make a name for themselves!”
Du Gang nodded. This made sense. It was absurd to think that every person came here for a woman. It made him feel that these people were not high class.
But now, these people are looking to make a name for themselves, which is more than normal.
He asked, “Are there any powerful characters among these people?”
“Yes!”
Da Zhuang looked excited.
“As for the most famous character, it’s Li Gu who comes from Central State. It’s said that he’s a prince…”
“Li Gu!”
Du Gang was surprised, “People from Central State came this early?”
He thought these people were far away, but it turned out people from Central State had already arrived.
“What level of cultivation does this Li Gu have?”
Da Zhuang shook his head, “I don’t know. It’s said that he’s a Five Tribulation God Spirit but has a very strong power. He has already reversed and killed several Six Tribulation God Spirits!”
“Moreover, some top-level powerhouses have said that Li Gu hasn’t unleashed his real power…”
He has already earned a name for himself without exerting his real strength?
Du Gang noted down the name, and turned his head and asked, “Who else?”
Da Zhuang continued, “Another famous one is Fu Yi. He’s chubby…um, he’s a very rich guy…”
“Is this Fu Yi also very strong?”
Da Zhuang shook his head, “I don’t know. Fu Yi has not made a move. The reason he is famous is because he is very rich. He has everything, all kinds of divine artifacts and weapons. Some people have even seen him take out treasures that even True Gods lust for…”
Du Gang nodded, “I get it. This Fu Yi is very rich!”
He was muttering to himself, wondering if he could rob the wealthy. Generally, these types of people were afraid of death…
Of course, before making a move, he would investigate carefully to see how strong this chubby guy was. He didn’t want to end up being captured instead of accomplishing the robbery. That would be too embarrassing.
With his current strong attack, he could unleash a divine power technique of up to three thousand Naers.
According to the Six-Tribulation God Spirit coefficient of twenty-one times, it can be inferred that even a genius mastering the Supreme Technique would not be able to beat him as long as their progress in technique is still below one percent.
Once a Six-Tribulation God Spirit has two percent progress in the Supreme Technique, he will be helpless.
In fact, the Supreme Technique is not as commonplace as imagined.
The reason why Du Gang felt that they were all over the place was that most people around him had a very strong background, so it seemed that the Supreme Technique was not valuable.
But in fact, taking the Six-Tribulation God Spirit realm as an example, it can be said that ninety-nine percent of people do not have the Supreme Technique.
This means that a Six-Tribulation God Spirit, even one taking the offensive with one percent progress of the Earth-Rank technique, can unleash a maximum of only one thousand five hundred and seventy-five Naers of divine power technique!
And if it’s a Mystic-Rank technique, it’s even worse, the limit of divine power technique is just above a thousand.
That’s why Ghost Pupil can casually fight beyond his level; there are just too many ordinary people.
And this Hero Conference, although there were many strong practitioners, there were also a lot of people just there to watch on and join in the fun.
This has led to a mix of all sorts at the scene.
There are weak individuals who have reached Six-Tribulation God Spirit Level but do not even have an Earth-Rank or above technique, as well as some who have only reached the stage of Three-Tribulation God Spirit but have reversed and killed Six-Tribulation God Spirits, thus making a name for themselves.
……
While Du Gang was having a lively conversation, he didn’t know that Xiang Xinjian, who held his Recording Stone, had already started making big moves.
Several hundred teams from the Demon Suppression Army had all started out, taking along manpower to go to all the major families.
These people were all responsible for arresting people who had taken actions against Du Gang.
Although there were already Gods who had died at Du Gang’s hands, they had to pay the price for their choices.
Xiang Xinjian clearly wanted to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys. This time he was deploying all his forces to catch all the other people in one go.
The deployment of several branches of the Demon Suppression Army immediately attracted the attention of the entire South Yue State.
All eyes were drawn to the Ancient City Abyss in anticipation of what they were going to do.
At this moment, even the usually bustling Happy Town was watching this batch of Demon Suppression Army with bated breath.
“It’s been so many years, it seems like a while since the Demon Suppression Army has moved like this!”
“Yes, it feels like there’s going to be a big change. With such a big movement from the Demon Suppression Army, some family might be slaughtered!”
Everyone felt apprehensive, wondering what would happen in the future.
For them, the Demon Suppression Army was a dreadful entity.
Whether it was the God Spirit Level, the True God, or even the Celestial God, all were included in the make-up of the Demon Suppression Army.
This meant that you wouldn’t know which level of troops they would deploy.
In a moment, people all over South Yue State felt threaten. Many families scrambled to send inquiries to the Ancient City and activated their highest level of precautions.
This time, the sky was definitely punctured!
