194: Battle report from the border battlefield! Grandmaster Shen has been severely wounded!
Gu Chen entered seclusion.
However, the discussions about Gu Chen on the internet still showed no signs of stopping.
The corpse of the White Bone Great Serpent still lay in the North.
Its massive body was like a snow-capped mountain range, providing a huge visual impact. It was said that many members of the War Preparation Department wanted to come and handle the corpse, but since it was too huge, they had no way of clearing it away in a short period of time.
"I really want to know how this thing was killed. My god, we're even helpless when facing its corpse. Look, the tail of this White Bone Great Serpent has completely exploded; the battle must have been incredibly intense."
Those Martial Artists were dumbfounded.
They all felt that this was an unbelievable feat.
Facing such a massive and majestic great serpent was an unimaginable pressure.
The giant snake was a treasure from head to toe.
However, it was said that the most core parts had already been taken by the War Preparation Department.
Other parts were still placed here because they were too massive and bloated. Many people from the North stopped to watch, and their admiration and gratitude toward Gu Chen grew even stronger.
Yet they did not know that the current Gu Chen was located inside the Xia Nation, starting his Breakthrough to the Glazed Realm.
Three days passed.
There was still no movement from Gu Chen's Breakthrough.
It was said that the area where he was breaking through had been shrouded by a screen of light. Only True King Ning and Gu Chen were inside; anyone who so much as approached would be immediately convicted.
The Xia Nation placed immense importance on this Breakthrough.
Many people even speculated.
If Gu Chen broke through to the Grandmaster Realm, he would likely possess combat power at the Great Grandmaster level. In that case, he would be a tremendous help to the battlefield.
Moreover, this was a nineteen-year-old Grandmaster.
The significance was extraordinary!
His future was limitless.
Currently, Gu Chen was a Grandmaster at nineteen.
What about at twenty-nine?
What about at thirty-nine?
To what terrifying level would his brilliant evolution reach?
They were full of anticipation.
The old man originally thought these few days would be peaceful, but then bad news struck.
"A war report came from the Border Battlefield. Grandmaster Shen was unexpectedly ambushed and heavily injured by four Kings of the Purple God Clan, and the current situation is not good."
Grandmaster Shen was heavily injured?
In an instant.
The old man's face turned pale. That was his old comrade-in-arms. Grandmaster Shen was also the Minister of the Border War Department and a pillar of the Xia Nation. Having spent a long time on the battlefield, he had withstood the immense pressure from the Border War Department's side.
"Damn the Purple God Clan."
"Despicable."
Hearing this news, the high-level officials of the Xia Nation were furious, but they were also worried about the situation at the Border Battlefield.
"At that time, Grandmaster Shen had already repelled a King of the Purple God Clan and was waiting to return. Unexpectedly, that King was just a lure. The Purple God Clan had somehow brought in three Kings who had just joined this battlefield, and they had been lying in ambush, waiting for the moment Grandmaster Shen let his guard down."
"The repelled King returned and struck down Grandmaster Shen, leaving him hanging by a thread. If Grandmaster Shen hadn't used his own Frost Gene to successfully seal his heart vessels, he would likely have met a grim fate."
"How is it now?" the old man asked with concern.
"Grandmaster Shen is trapped within his own Frost Gene. He has been brought back by several Great Grandmasters of our Xia Nation working together, but Grandmaster Shen's frozen state cannot be undone."
"Now Grandmaster Shen's heartbeat is getting weaker and weaker. If the ice seal isn't undone, his life will likely still be in danger."
The old man's expression was solemn.
He sat in his chair and pondered for a while.
"The Frost Gene is also an extremely strong gene. Trying to force it open is almost impossible and might even harm him. After all, this was his self-protection before he fell into danger."
"Pavilion Master, doesn't Grandmaster Shen have a daughter?"
A daughter.
The old man's eyes suddenly lit up.
Both have the Frost Gene.
And they are direct relatives.
There is definitely interconnectivity between their genes.
Shen Yuxi should have a way.
The old man soon contacted Shen Yuxi. She hadn't gone to the Border Battlefield yet and had been staying at the Xia Nation's Expedition Academy recently. Upon hearing about her father's condition, Shen Yuxi's face turned pale.
"Girl, don't worry. As long as you undo your father's self-imposed ice seal, the Xia Nation will certainly do everything in its power to treat him. He is a hero of our Xia Nation and must not suffer any mishaps," the old man said decisively.
Grandmaster Shen had always been the stabilizing force of the Border Battlefield.
Now that Grandmaster Shen had sealed himself, it would surely be a massive blow to the morale of the Xia Nation at the Border Battlefield.
These are troubled times.
Shen Yuxi's expression was sorrowful.
Her father was fighting fiercely on the Border Battlefield, and she had already been anxious. In the past few days, her father had rarely contacted her, which made her extremely worried. Now, hearing the bad news, she was filled with terror and unease.
"I will dispatch a team to send you to the Border Battlefield. Currently, the situation there is very chaotic, so you must be careful," the old man said, still somewhat worried as he looked at Shen Yuxi.
Grandmaster Shen had sealed himself.
The Border Battlefield was likely in complete chaos now.
It was unclear if entering the Border Battlefield now was a wise move.
"Uncle Jiang, don't worry. No matter how dangerous it is, I must go there. You guessed correctly about my father's situation; only I can undo the Spirit Rhinoceros Ice Seal of the Frost Gene."
The Spirit Rhinoceros Ice Seal was a Gene Sub-chain of the Frost Gene and its final trump card. Her father being forced to use it showed just how perilous the situation had become.
The Frost Gene was passed down through the Bloodline.
Shen Yuxi had also unlocked the Frost Gene.
She could connect to her father's Bloodline.
And undo this Gene Sub-chain.
The Purple Profound Pavilion immediately began to assemble personnel, but entering the Border Battlefield was not easy now.
To enter the Border Battlefield, one had to pass through the Three Gods Road. That was the path opened when the Void Battlefield was first established and was currently the only way for the Xia Nation to enter the Border Battlefield.
But now, the Xia Nation's Border Battlefield was constantly shrinking, and everyone was in a state of panic. Without Grandmaster Shen to suppress those Kings, the pressure on the Xia Nation had increased manifold.
The Three Gods Road was likely no longer safe either.
Sure enough.
That evening, several advance teams from the Xia Nation were attacked by the Purple God Clan as they stepped onto the Three Gods Road!
Several advance teams were completely wiped out.
"Damn, the Three Gods Road has fallen, and the Border Battlefield is in complete chaos. Darkness is coming. Entering the Three Gods Road now will surely be a dead end; a large number of Purple God Clan experts are already lying in ambush there!"
"Now, wanting to enter the Border Battlefield is already a pipe dream."
Everyone's expression was grim.
In other words.
At this stage.
The Purple God Clan was already like a giant net.
They were catching the Xia Nation's Border Battlefield in one fell swoop and were now constantly tightening it. The situation was impossible to break!
This feeling of despair and powerlessness.
Made Shen Yuxi's face turn pale.
"What should we do now?" Inside the Purple Profound Pavilion, the old man's hair turned even whiter from worry. The only Glazed Realm existences left in the Xia Nation were those Young Men, but they lacked battlefield experience. Entering the Three Gods Road now would surely result in a massive loss!
This was something that would shake the very Foundation of the Xia Nation!
