Chapter 186 The New City God
In the bustling town, divine power flickered, enveloping the entire Chaoyang City. Gu Yuchuan slowly analyzed this divine power, and finally he was very certain that the City God was just a Foundation Establishment cultivator. This made things easier; he could just attack him that night. A Foundation Establishment cultivator was nothing more than that. Even within his own divine domain, he couldn't defeat him. It was fitting that Gu Yuchuan could now be called the number one Foundation Establishment cultivator in the world.
The two found an inn and checked in. After all, it was still daytime and there was still some time before nightfall, and there was nothing to do while they were out.
He set up a defensive formation and a spirit-gathering formation at the inn, and then began to cultivate diligently. He would not waste a single moment of cultivation time, striving to become a Golden Core cultivator as soon as possible.
When he opened his eyes again, it was already night, and they were preparing to set off. Meanwhile, things were not peaceful in the City God Temple.
In the City God's domain, he sat in the head seat, opposite two men in black robes who exuded a bloody aura.
"City God of Chaoyang City, convey the Marquis's decree: search with all your might for the whereabouts of the eldest daughter of the Wang family. Once found, kill her without mercy."
The City God accepted the decree: "I will do my best, but if the eldest daughter of the Wang family dies here, won't it cause some negative impact?"
The leader of the men in black sneered, "The Wang family is no longer worth mentioning. They've been ruined by the Marquis. Now, Wang Ruolan is the only one left in the Wang family. Once she dies, the Wang family will be completely gone. Be careful and let the people of the capital know that our Marquis is not someone to be trifled with."
The City God nodded: "I understand. I will do my best. If you two are not in a hurry to go back, you can rest in the Divine Realm for a while. Tomorrow, I will have someone send you onto a flying boat, which will make it easier for you to go back."
They were both under the control of the Marquis of Champion, so it was necessary for them to maintain good relations. These two bodyguards would not ignore each other's overtures.
"In that case, thank you for your hospitality, City God. We will be staying in the Divine Realm for one night. Please take care of us."
The City God was overjoyed to see that they were willing to stay, and immediately summoned two beauties to take them away. However, these guards were all meant to suppress desires, so his arrangement would not yield any further gains.
Not long after they finished talking, Gu Yuchuan brought Wang Ruoxin to this divine realm. As soon as he entered, he was noticed by the City God. After all, this was the City God's divine realm. Even if he couldn't defeat Gu Yuchuan, he could still detect his presence.
The City God could clearly sense that the newcomer's combat power far surpassed his own, so he adopted a very humble attitude and even stepped out of the main hall to greet him.
"I wonder which fellow Daoist has come here in person and what business you need my help with? Please just say so. If I can help, I will do you a favor."
He proactively extended goodwill, and his attitude would have been very conciliatory if the cultivator hadn't actually come looking for trouble. But unfortunately, Gu Yuchuan was there to cause trouble, so naturally, he wouldn't let him off easily.
Gu Yuchuan narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of murderous intent in them: "Yes, I have something to discuss with you. Tell me, who is behind you? How did you obtain the position of City God?"
The City God was naturally not going to easily reveal his network of connections. His face turned ashen: "Fellow Daoist, I am a righteous god appointed by the imperial court. Since you are not here on business, leave my divine realm. Otherwise, you will not have a good end in the divine realm either."
Gu Yuchuan laughed out loud. It wasn't that he looked down on the other party. In terms of strength, Divine Path cultivators were indeed the weakest, without exception. Even in the Divine Realm, they were only slightly stronger than cultivators of the same level. However, Gu Yuchuan was actually slightly stronger than cultivators of the same level, which could be explained by that.
"I advise you to just say it directly, so you don't suffer physical pain."
The City God stopped speaking, raised his hand, and struck Gu Yuchuan with a large seal. This was his City God Seal, his natal artifact, which was much more powerful than ordinary spiritual artifacts in this divine realm. However, Gu Yuchuan was no ordinary person. He didn't even take out his spear; he simply used his magic power to immobilize the City God Seal. From then on, the City God dared not move.
He finally understood that there was a world of difference between him and the cultivator in front of him; he was completely powerless against him, even within the realm of gods.
"Just who are you, fellow Daoist?"
He still didn't dare to reveal his identity directly. After all, he was a man of the Marquis of Champion, which wasn't a secret. If the other party had a powerful backer, they would definitely know. If the other party didn't have a powerful backer, revealing it casually might cause trouble. That was why he didn't dare to speak up.
Seeing that Gu Yuchuan remained silent, he continued, "Fellow Daoist, I advise you not to bring trouble upon yourself. My identity is not something a rogue like you can easily inquire about. Even if you advance to the Golden Core stage in the future, you will be nothing in the face of the power behind me. Fellow Daoist, you should not make a mistake."
Gu Yuchuan unleashed his imposing aura, leaving his opponent breathless: "Answer my questions directly, and don't say things I haven't asked, understand? If you continue to give irrelevant answers, then I'll have to take action."
The City God hadn't expected that even after all his persuasion, the other party would still have this attitude. His expression turned ugly again: "Fellow Daoist, do you really think you have me cornered? I beg your two guards to come out and help me."
The two guards jumped out and looked at Wang Ruolan: "The remnants of the Wang family! I didn't expect that the Wang family would actually still have direct descendants. You've already survived, yet you still dare to come out. You really don't know what's good for you. It's just that we brothers are lucky. Although we lost Wang Ruolan, she's still a young lady of the Wang family. Let's make our move."
Having said that, they drew their scimitars and charged forward. Gu Yuchuan used the Golden Light Spell to protect Wang Ruoxin. He then gripped his spear and charged forward. A City God at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment and two Dark Guards at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment were indeed nothing to him. He transformed his spear into a dragon and didn't even need to worry about them anymore.
As expected, the top-grade spiritual artifact was captured by the three of them on its own. Their magical power was now sealed, and they lay motionless on the ground, utterly powerless to resist.
"You are all the Marquis of Champion's men, aren't you?"
The City God's eyes were filled with hatred: "You knew that you still dared to make a move. You have trampled on our Marquis's face so much that your end is already destined to be very bad."
