MTLNOVEL Chapter 266: All Enemies Are Here_1
```
DaHuang Mansion, barren mountains towered, lush trees thrived, seldom trodden by humans, appeared extremely vacant.
At this moment, although it was daytime, the sky suddenly began to shed snowflakes as large as goose feathers, causing the temperature between heaven and earth to drop abruptly.
"Damn this frontier weather, to think it would snow."
Lu Ang of the Sunset Sword Sect furrowed his brow slightly and looked up at the sky.
Beside him, Dai Tong of the Heavenly Saber Sect, Wan Tinggang of the White Tiger Clan, and Qiu Tianhua of the Qiu family were also present here.
"The climate of DaHuang Mansion is just like this, you'll get used to it after a while," said Qiu Tianhua indifferently.
The Qiu family, one of the six major families, had lived in the Yan State's DaHuang Mansion for a thousand years and were long accustomed to the unpredictable weather here.
The reason why this group of people had gathered here was because of Gu Chen.
After learning that Gu Chen had left Yongxue City alone and had killed three martial masters from the Great Dark Sky sect, Luo Ang and the others immediately realized this was an excellent opportunity. They set out to search for traces of Gu Chen within the territory of DaHuang Mansion.
"Where the hell did that brat hide, how come there's been no news for such a long time?" Luo Ang of the Sunset Sword Sect frowned and said.
Nowadays, there were quite a few informants within DaHuang Mansion, and once Gu Chen killed those from the Great Dark Sky sect, they got the news and then informed Luo Ang and the others to deal with Gu Chen as soon as possible.
"Maybe he got scared and went into hiding. No matter how you look at it, Da Xia has no advantage in the current situation in Yan State, and its fall has become a certainty. It's only natural for Gu Chen to be afraid," Dai Tong said with a cold sneer on his face.
At that moment, Wuying appeared quietly and spoke lightly, "As far as I know, Gu Chen is not that kind of person. If he is hiding in the dark, it's possible he's preparing something."
Upon hearing this, Luo Ang and the others glanced at Wuying with some apprehension; if it weren't for the demonic sects informing them, they would have been unaware that even the Marquis of Pingxi had defected to the Six Union God Sect.
Nonetheless, it was also because of this that Luo Ang and his companions were even more convinced that Yan State's fall was a done deal, and even the entire Da Xia would soon fall apart.
"By the way, how are the Marquis of Pingxi's preparations going?" asked Wan Tinggang of the White Tiger Clan abruptly.
Upon hearing this, Wuying replied softly, "Everything is ready, we're just waiting for the east wind."
"The reinforcements from Da Xia should be arriving soon, right?" Luo Ang asked.
"If nothing unexpected happens, they should be arriving soon," Wuying nodded slightly.
This time, he collaborated with Luo Ang and others to capture Gu Chen and deliver him to the Marquis of Pingxi.
At the same time, the Duke of the Liang State led an army of two hundred thousand to provide support, and by now, they should be nearing Yongxue City.
If they could kill all these two hundred thousand, the Marquis of Pingxi, utilizing this, would most certainly be able to undergo the ninth rebirth in the Transcendent stage, achieving perfection, and then advance directly to the Hundred Orifices Stage, experiencing an immensely huge breakthrough in martial cultivation.
At this thought, even Wuying felt a trace of excitement stirring within him.
"After so many years, the Lord Marquis has finally seen the day," murmured Wuying quietly, and as for Gu Chen, this time Wuying was determined to get his hands on him.
"How's the situation over at Yulong City?" inquired Wuying abruptly.
Luo Ang responded with a somber smile, "One hundred twenty thousand barbarians are attacking Yulong City. A day or two at least, seven or eight days at most, the fall of Yulong City is certain!"
Upon hearing this, Wan Tinggang and the others nodded slightly. At present, everything was progressing smoothly according to plan. Moreover, at Yongxue City, two congenital martial grandmasters from the Holy Shadows Sect and the Great Dark Sky sect had exited seclusion and, together with the barbarians and their respective sects' grandmasters, were attacking Yongxue City.
"It won't be long before the Jing Tian Department of Yan State is thoroughly dissipated, and the entire Yan State will become our garden," a thick smile emerged on the faces of this group of people.
In this battle, the barbarians, the demonic cults, and this group had joined forces. The various regions of Da Xia were restless, and the forces that could be drawn to support Yan State were limited. The battle for Yan State was almost certain.
Of course, if it weren't for the barbarians being severely wounded by the Da Xia Emperor twenty-three years ago and now severely lacking in high-end combat power, and if the barbarian chieftain and the high priest hadn't been away in the deep mountains accepting gifts from ancient gods and demons and thus were unable to emerge, they would have been able to take over Yan State easily, like picking something out of one's pocket, countless times easier than the current situation.
"Hm?!"
Suddenly, a powerful surge of Qi erupted not far away, immediately attracting the attention of Luo Ang and the others.
"What happened, what's going on there?" Dai Tong frowned.
"Seems like someone has broken through to a grandmaster?" Wuying also looked in that direction.
"Could it be Gu Chen?" Qiu Tianhua exclaimed in shock.
"Impossible!"
Wan Tinggang said sternly, "Gu Chen is so young; how could he possibly have broken through to grandmaster so quickly. It's unrealistic!"
"We'll know if we take a look," Wuying sensed a premonition that this person might just be the elusive Gu Chen they were desperately seeking.
Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. Even if Gu Chen had really become a grandmaster, they were not afraid.
After all, the weakest among them, Luo Ang and Dai Tong, both had the strength of undergoing four rebirths, and Qiu Tianhua and Wan Tinggang, as well as Wuying, had even gone through the fifth rebirth, making them extremely powerful.
Gu Chen was just one man. Even if he underwent one rebirth and became a grandmaster, what could he do?
Grandmasters possess strong physiques, hence their speed is also very fast. It didn't take long for them to arrive at the place where Gu Chen had his breakthrough.
