Chapter 431

The Shocked Gu Yue Tian

Whoosh!

Just as Zhuowen and Ouyang Hanxuan were chatting happily, a golden circle suddenly appeared in the sky above the plaza. The golden circle continuously rotated and slowly landed on an empty space in the plaza.

As the golden light receded, a densely packed crowd appeared on the empty ground. There were nearly a thousand people in this crowd, and at the front of this crowd were five extraordinary figures. These thousand people looked at these five figures with reverence and respect in their eyes.

"Marquis Lu and the others have arrived. My father and the City Lord of Rattan Armor City should also be in this crowd. It seems that the City Lord of Rattan Armor City is with my father and Senior Qiu!"

Ouyang Hanxuan, who was originally chatting cheerfully beside Zhuowen, noticed the sudden appearance of a group of people not far away. His eyes immediately lit up and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

Zhuowen, Gu Xin, and Hu Wuying also noticed Ouyang Yuntu, Qiu Chou, and Gu Yue Tian, who were chatting cheerfully in an inconspicuous corner of the crowd.

"Father!"

"City Lord Gu!"

Gu Xin and Hu Wuying shouted in surprise when they saw Gu Yue Tian's unnatural expression in the distance. Then, the two of them nodded to Zhuowen and directly rushed toward Gu Yue Tian.

"Brother Zhuo, let's go as well!" Ouyang Yuntu spread out his hands in a rather graceful manner.

"En!

Let's go together! "Nodding, Zhuowen, Ouyang Yuntu, and the others also walked toward the empty space.

Aside from Zhuowen, Ouyang Yuntu, and the others, the other groups in the plaza also rushed toward the crowd with surprised expressions. They all saw their own City Lords.

Gu Yue Tian, who originally had a reserved expression, also saw Gu Xin and Hu Wuying in front of him. The reserved expression on his face faded quite a bit. He smiled and said, "Gu Xin, Hu Wuying!"

Now that he saw Gu Xin and Hu Wuying, Gu Yue Tian's anxious heart finally relaxed. After all, the life and death of the contestants in the Tower of Vitality were predestined. Although he knew that Rattan Armor City had successfully advanced to the second level of the Tower of Vitality, it didn't mean that everyone in Rattan Armor City was safe and sound!

Even if Gu Xin and Hu Wuying both died, leaving only Zhuowen to seize control of Ascension Island, Rattan Armor City could still be considered to have successfully advanced. He wasn't worried about Zhuowen. After all, Zhuowen was very strong, and Gu Xin and Hu Wuying were too weak.

Gu Yue Tian was afraid that Gu Xin and Hu Wuying would die in the first level of the Tower of Vitality. If that happened, it would be a huge blow to him!

"I didn't expect that the two of you would be fine, haha!" Gu Yue Tian said excitedly as he held Gu Xin's shoulders with both hands.

However, he soon discovered that Gu Xin's aura gave him an unfathomable feeling. He couldn't see through Gu Xin's cultivation at all.

"Xin 'er, you broke through?

You've reached the Heavenly King Realm? "

Gu Yue Tian was pleasantly surprised. He knew that if he couldn't see through Gu Xin's cultivation, it meant that Gu Xin's cultivation had surpassed his.

"Lord Gu, your son isn't just a Heavenly King Realm cultivator. He's a genuine half-step Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivator." Ouyang Yuntu suddenly smiled as he stood behind Gu Yue Tian.

"What?

Half-step Ultimate Emperor Realm?

Xin 'er, you were only at the peak of the Earth King Realm before you entered the Tower of Vitality. It's only been a little over a month, and you've already reached the half-step Ultimate Emperor Realm?

Isn't this … a little too fast? "Gu Yue Tian suddenly stuttered as he stared at Gu Xin in disbelief.

"Lord Father, I have indeed reached the half-step Ultimate Emperor Realm. Lord Ouyang didn't lie to you.

Moreover, Wuying has already reached the half-step Ultimate Emperor Realm. "Gu Xin nodded and said seriously.

"What?

Hu Wuying has also reached the half-step Ultimate Emperor Realm?

A little over a month ago, his cultivation was lower than yours. He was only at the peak of the Earth King Realm. But now, he's also at the half-step Ultimate Emperor Realm? "

Gu Yue Tian hadn't even finished digesting the news that Gu Xin had reached the half-step Ultimate Emperor Realm when he received an even more shocking piece of news.

His right hand trembling, Gu Yue Tian stared at Hu Wuying, who was standing beside Gu Xin. As expected, Hu Wuying's aura was extremely vast. It was no different from Gu Xin's.

"Good!

Good!

Good! "

The excitement on Gu Yue Tian's face was at its peak after he said the word 'good' three times in a row. He looked at Gu Xin and Hu Wuying with a burning gaze. "Looks like there's hope for the rise of Vine Armor City. With the two of you and Zhuo Wen, Vine Armor City will have three ultimate half-step emperors, hahaha."

Gu Yue Tian's face was filled with gratification. He knew better than anyone what three half-step Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivators meant. Rattan Armor City was already comparable to a high-ranking city. In fact, it might even surpass an ordinary high-ranking city!

However, Gu Xin shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Lord Father, the two of us can't compare to Zhuowen!

Zhuowen has already broken through to the Ultimate Emperor Realm after entering the Origin Qi Tower. His strength has already undergone an earth-shattering change. "

Gu Yue Tian, who had been laughing heartily, widened his eyes when he heard Gu Xin's words. The smile on his face froze and his lips trembled. He picked at his ears and said shakily, "Xin 'er, what did you say?

Say it again. Say it again. "

"Brother Zhuo is extremely talented. After entering the first level of the Origin Qi Tower, he successfully passed through the heavenly tribulation and reached the Ultimate Emperor Realm. Now, Brother Zhuo's strength is comparable to some of the other monstrous geniuses!

Furthermore, the reason why the two of us have improved so quickly is all because of Brother Zhuo's help. "Gu Xin smiled as she repeated herself.

Gu Xin's words were ambiguous. He didn't directly say that Zhuowen had already reached the Ultimate Emperor Realm. This was because before coming to the training field, Zhuowen had already warned the two of them not to reveal his true strength, even if this person was the city lord of Rattan Armor City.

Although they were rather confused by Zhuowen's request, Gu Xin and Hu Wuying naturally agreed because they trusted Zhuowen.

"Zhuowen has actually broken through … he's reached the Ultimate Emperor Realm?

Doesn't that mean that our Rattan Armor City now has a truly powerful Ultimate Emperor Realm expert …? "

Gu Yue Tian was so excited that he was speaking incoherently. Although he had guessed that Zhuowen would very likely reach the Ultimate Emperor Realm in the Origin Qi Tower, he also knew how terrifying the heavenly tribulation was. The difficulty of reaching the Ultimate Emperor Realm from the half-step Ultimate Emperor Realm was as difficult as ascending to the heavens for ordinary cultivators. Therefore, he didn't dare to think about it, even if Zhuowen's talent was truly monstrous.

However, now that Gu Xin's words had confirmed his guess, the surging excitement in his heart finally reached its peak. At this moment, he was almost speaking incoherently.

Even Ouyang Yuntu and Qiu Chou, who were standing behind Gu Yue Tian, revealed a trace of shock when they heard this news. After all, Zhuowen and the others had only been in the Origin Qi Tower for a little over a month. To reach the Ultimate Emperor Realm in such a short period of time, this speed was truly too fast!

Seeing Gu Yue Tian, Ouyang Yuntu, and Qiu Chou's expressions of shock, Gu Xin and Hu Wuying couldn't help but reveal a trace of pride. They muttered to themselves, If they told them that Zhuowen had already reached the second wheel of the Ultimate Emperor Realm, what would Gu Yue Tian and the others' expressions be like?

"Lord Gu!

Congratulations, it is truly a blessing for your Rattan Armor City to have a monstrous genius like young friend Zhuowen. "Ouyang Yuntu and Qiu Chou both laughed heartily as they congratulated him.

"The two of you are right, it is truly a blessing for our Rattan Armor City to have Zhuowen!"

Although he knew that Ouyang Yuntu and Qiu Chou were only so polite to him because of Zhuowen, he didn't dare to slight them in the slightest. After all, the two people in front of him had a much higher status than him.

"City Lord, City Lord Ouyang, and Senior Qiu, long time no see!"

At this moment, Zhuowen had already arrived in front of Gu Yue Tian and the others with Ouyang Hanxuan. He had a warm smile on his face.

"Zhuowen!"

Gu Yue Tian, Qiu Chou, and Ouyang Yuntu's eyes all lit up when they saw Zhuowen arrive. They couldn't help but reveal smiles on their faces.

This was especially true for Qiu Chou and Ouyang Yuntu. After sensing the surging aura on Zhuowen's body, they couldn't help but nod their heads. Gu Xin hadn't lied. Zhuowen had indeed reached the Ultimate Emperor Realm. His aura, which allowed him to manipulate the power of heaven and earth at any time, couldn't be faked.

Moreover, Qiu Chou's sharp senses also discovered that the aura within Zhuowen's body was very strange. It was actually a bit stronger than an ordinary Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivator. This made Qiu Chou frown slightly. He was quite puzzled.

Although Zhuowen had done his best to conceal the aura of an Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivator, Qiu Chou was still a peak Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivator. He could still detect some abnormalities from Zhuowen's aura. However, Qiu Chou didn't take it to heart. He wouldn't ask Zhuowen about it for no reason. After all, everyone had their own secrets.

"Zhuowen, I, Gu Yue Tian, really have to thank you this time. If it weren't for you, our Rattan Armor City wouldn't have had the chance to enter the second level of the tower.

And I, Gu Yue Tian, am just a nobody. I wouldn't have had the chance to stand shoulder to shoulder with so many experts.

"And if it weren't for you, Gu Xin and Hu Wuying wouldn't have been able to reach the half-step Ultimate Emperor Realm so quickly. Zhuowen, I, Gu Yue Tian, really have to thank you!"

With that, Gu Yue Tian bowed towards Zhuowen. Zhuowen had done far too much for Rattan Armor City, but they hadn't helped Zhuowen at all. This made Gu Yue Tian feel extremely guilty.

Zhuowen smiled faintly. With a wave of his right hand, a surge of origin energy lifted Gu Yue Tian up, "Why are you treating me like an outsider, Lord Gu?

Rattan Armor City isn't just yours. It's also mine, Zhuowen's. It's where I was born and raised. It's my hometown!

If a person doesn't even care about their hometown, do you think they're still human? "

With that, Ouyang Yuntu and Qiu Chou looked at each other and nodded with praise.

Although the youth before them didn't have broad shoulders or a sturdy body, he used his not-so-broad but extremely straight spine to prop up a lowly city like Rattan Armor City. He even raised it to the same height as many high-ranking cities.
