364 A Sense of Crisis
In fact, if it weren’t for the advantage of cultivation techniques, human cultivators would have been wiped out by the demon race or other races hundreds of years ago.
Moreover, although there were no masters in the human race who had reached the earth realm or above, there were more top cultivators in overall strength. Moreover, the human race had an absolute advantage in numbers. This was the only way to survive in the cracks.
In general, the human race had the advantage in cultivation techniques and numbers, which was why they had not been exterminated yet.
However, strength was the absolute truth. If the human race did not catch up, they would suffer a loss sooner or later.
“You guys go back first. If there’s any news, let me know in advance, otherwise….” He Chuan’s aura suddenly grew stronger, so much so that the left and right guardians of the Heavenly Sword Sect did not even dare to breathe.
The two of them were shocked. They had thought that He Chuan had used his full strength when he killed the seventh elder. However, it was clear that they had been wrong. That was not He Chuan’s true strength.
He could even be compared to the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Murong Fu.
He Chuan glanced at the two of them and was very satisfied with their shocked expressions.
After the left protector’s explanation, he felt that his understanding of the world was still too lacking. He needed to send the two of them back to help him pass on the Xixi.
Otherwise, if he knew too little about the various sects, beast cultivators, and demon cultivators, he wouldn’t even know what major events were happening.
He had three women and four children here, which was different from the carefree situation he had in the past.
If there was any danger, he would be able to know at the first moment and react to it, so as to avoid anything that he would regret for the rest of his life.
When the left and right guardians return, the Heavenly Sword Sect will definitely ask about what happened.
They had already thought of a reason. They didn’t know what cultivation realm He Chuan was in. They only knew that the seventh elder was no match for He Chuan and had been beaten by He Chuan to the point where he couldn’t even fight back.
In the end, the three of them discussed how to escape. The seventh elder sacrificed himself and stayed behind to deal with He Chuan while the two guardians left.
This thought was in line with the Heavenly Sword Sect’s. Even if they knew it was a lie, everyone would still choose to believe it.
The people from the Heavenly Sword Sect believed that the left and right guardians had realized that the seventh elder was no match for He Chuan. After a discussion, the two of them had taken advantage of the chaos to escape, leaving the seventh elder to fight alone.
In the end, the seventh elder lost to He Chuan and died, while the left and right guardians escaped.
This was the most reasonable way of thinking, and it was also the most suitable way of thinking for everyone. This was because to the people of the mysterious Heavenly Sword Sect, no matter how strong He Chuan was, he was only on par with the seventh elder. Even if he was stronger, he would not be much stronger.
They might not want to believe it, but He Chuan was a peak fourth-rank earth realm cultivator, or even above the fifth-rank. They had never considered this possibility.
Of course, He Chuan was happy to see this. This group of people felt that the weaker they were, the better.
If more people came, He Chuan could easily kill them.
The Heavenly Sword Sect would not be fully prepared.
Moreover, he estimated that the Heavenly Sword Sect would not come looking for trouble in the near future. After all, the Heavenly Sword Sect could not put all its energy on He Chuan.
Not only was the demon clan watching them, but the cultivation Alliance wasn’t united either. If anything happened to Murong Fu, then the other sects would probably take advantage of it.
Not only could they eliminate their competitors, but the cultivation resources they seized could also enhance their own strength.
Why not?
The same was true for the Heavenly Sword Sect. If a large cultivation sect suddenly declined, they would definitely take advantage of the situation.
He had simply arranged a crime for the other party and claimed that he was taking revenge for the heavenly path. In fact, he was just snatching resources.
In the thousands of years since the establishment of the Heavenly Sword Sect, such things had been done many times. However, every time they did, they would always find a Grand reason to do so.
He Chuan was actually very disdainful of this, but he also knew that this was the law of survival in the cultivation world.
The weak side had no right to survive, especially when they suddenly obtained a treasure. Immediately, there would be strong people coming to snatch it, killing and robbing.
…
The left and right guardians had given up their dignity and escaped from He Chuan’s hands. They returned to the Heavenly Sword Sect poisoned by the Gu worm.
He Chuan also returned to the Library Pavilion, preparing to spend some time with Empress Changning and Cai Lian before leaving.
After all, he didn’t know Murong Fu’s character. He didn’t know if Murong Fu would be very impulsive and come to the capital to take revenge without care.
This battle also shocked the martial arts and cultivation powerhouses of the Central Plains.
This was because the great battle in their eyes had actually ended with a strong start but a weak finish. They didn’t even see the exact situation before the battle ended.
He didn’t even know the exact location. All traces had been wiped out by He Chuan.
“I’m going to continue cultivating in seclusion in the Library Pavilion. I’ll try to break through two realms before I leave.” He Chuan said softly as he laid his head on Empress Changning’s thigh.
After understanding the situation in the New World, He Chuan became anxious again. Even if he had broken through to the sixth level of the earth realm, it was not as stable as he thought.
The situation was getting more and more complicated. The World God, Young Master Gu Mingzhou, Murong Fu from the Heavenly Sword Sect, and even the demon cultivators and beast cultivators…
He had to make himself stronger.
“Unfortunately, I can’t help much.” Empress Changning said apologetically.
“You’ve already made a great contribution by giving birth to Ming’er and Xue’er. How can you say that you can’t help? I can’t do this myself.” He Chuan held Empress Changning’s hand and joked with her for once.
“Hehe, Husband, you’ve learned how to sweet talk. We’ve known each other for almost a hundred years, but I rarely see you like this.” Empress Changning couldn’t help but stroke He Chuan’s handsome face. How she wished she could grow old with her sweetheart.
There was no need to care about the Zhou Dynasty, nor was there a need to put in the effort to cultivate. She would live a simple life.
She quickly threw this thought out of her mind. Whether it was her or He Chuan, they were destined to not live a simple life.
She was prepared to hand over the great Zhou Dynasty to Zhou Ming when he came of age. Then, she would be able to follow in He Chuan’s footsteps and cultivate.
To touch the supreme great Dao.
She had never been interested in the affairs of the secular world. If not for Cheng’an’s lack of support, she would not have been able to sit on the throne and become the first Empress of the Great Zhou.
Unlike Lia, she did not want to be the ruler of the country.
If possible, it would be best to be like Cai Lian.
“I’m just afraid that you’ll be worried. As long as I’m here, I won’t let you get hurt.” He Chuan said with a smile.
He was making a promise.
Sometimes, women needed to feel at ease. They had been with He Chuan for so long, but they had never asked for anything.
He Chuan also knew his own situation. He was not good at expressing himself and did not understand romance. If he did not give them a promise, he would be letting them down.
When Empress Changning heard He Chuan’s promise, her eyes started to water up.
She didn’t need any heavenly treasures or any romance. Simple words of love were the best confession.
