39: Chapter 39 Su Lianxue's Curiosity

"Is Demon Lord Ku Ming really dead?"

Zhu Yuankong had also witnessed this scene.

He looked at Su Yan with some disbelief, wanting to confirm the result from him.

One had to realize that this was a Demonic Path cultivator at the level of a True Monarch of the Other Shore.

He was just slashed to death by Lin Ming with a single sword strike, although most of them believed that Lin Ming had relied on the power of True Monarch Yunhua to slay Demon Lord Ku Ming.

But to them, it was still a bit exaggerated.

This Demon Lord Ku Ming was very likely a powerhouse at the high stage of the Other Shore Realm.

And he was just taken out like that by the means True Monarch Yunhua had left on Lin Ming.

Just how strong must True Monarch Yunhua be?

Some among them even believed that True Monarch Yunhua had already achieved a Breakthrough to Nirvana Ancestor; otherwise, even a powerhouse with the strength of the Peak of the Other Shore Realm might not necessarily be able to achieve this level.

Of course, this was just their speculation.

"He is dead."

Su Yan's expression was slightly complex.

Ku Ming was indeed dead, killed in a way that his Divine Soul was also wiped out; there was no possibility of fake death or zombie-like resurrection.

It was no wonder True Monarch Yunhua had given this item to him; she likely had no use for it at all.

"Senior Brother Lin Ming is so strong."

Du Yue said, her voice trembling slightly.

This was a powerhouse at the Other Shore level, and to see one taken out so miserably was a first in her life.

"It should be said that Peak Master Yunhua is powerful."

Tong Lingwei retorted.

If she also had the means left by that person on her, she wouldn't fear Demon Lord Ku Ming either.

True Monarch Yunhua's means?

Of course not.

Su Lianxue's gaze had also remained fixed on Lin Ming, and it still was even now.

She did not believe that the strength Lin Ming had displayed just now came from borrowing the power of True Monarch Yunhua.

She could see more clearly than anyone else present; if he were borrowing someone else's power, it would leave behind some obvious traces, or power that was different from his own.

But Lin Ming did not have any of these so-called things on him.

That is to say, the mark at the very beginning, plus the sword strike that killed Demon Lord Ku Ming, were Lin Ming's own power.

Regarding this, she was still a bit incredulous.

That meant Lin Ming's strength was superior to Demon Lord Ku Ming's.

Peak of the Other Shore?

Or Nirvana?

One had to know that when Lin Ming killed Blood Butcher Old Demon earlier, the strength he displayed had already made Su Lianxue feel that he had reached the Peak of the Bitter Sea or the initial stage of the Other Shore Realm.

But now, Lin Ming had killed a high-stage Other Shore Demonic Path cultivator, and the strength he displayed was not what they claimed to be borrowing True Monarch Yunhua's power.

This was solid, genuine strength of his own.

Su Lianxue could be certain of this point.

To reach such strength at twenty, and in such a barren place as the Lower Realm.

Su Lianxue increasingly felt that her Senior Brother was like her: a reincarnator, some old monster reincarnated.

Of course, it wasn't that she hadn't heard of such people; in the ancient era, it was indeed possible for such humans with Heaven-Defying Aptitude to exist.

But the ancient era and the present were two completely different cultivation environments, and furthermore, in a place like the Lower Realm, she did not believe such a person could exist.

Therefore, her Senior Brother definitely had a problem.

Definitely a huge problem.

A sense of curiosity gradually rose in Su Lianxue's heart.

Her curiosity about Lin Ming also gradually intensified.

"It is not over yet."

Zhu Yuankong said in a deep voice.

Although Demon Lord Ku Ming had already been slain by Lin Ming.

But this battle was not over; another battlefield still existed.

The battle between True Monarch Gu Yan and another Demonic Path cultivator.

Zhu Yuankong's gaze then looked towards the rear.

"It is already over."

Su Yan also looked towards the rear and shook his head.

He could no longer detect the aura of the other Demonic Path cultivator; there was only the aura of True Monarch Gu Yan.

Either True Monarch Gu Yan had killed the opponent, or the opponent had left.

Obviously, judging by True Monarch Gu Yan's weak aura, it was the latter.

His attention had always been on Lin Ming and Demon Lord Ku Ming, temporarily ignoring the situation at the other battle site.

He ran quite fast.

Lin Ming looked ahead, in the direction where the Masked Man had escaped.

He could be considered to have been multitasking; while fighting Ku Ming, he had also been paying attention to the battlefield on the other side.

After all, one Ku Ming was not enough to make Lin Ming take things seriously.

As for the battlefield on the other side, the outcome was quickly decided; True Monarch Gu Yan was no match for the Masked Man and was suppressed and beaten by the Masked Man from start to finish.

It was just that the Masked Man did not take True Monarch Gu Yan's life; after wounding him, he took something from underground in a certain building and then quickly left.

And even if the Masked Man had wanted to kill True Monarch Gu Yan, Lin Ming would not have allowed it.

After all, the Great Yan Dynasty was a subsidiary force of Yuanxu Mountain and could be considered his own people; he would certainly have to lend a hand to his own people.

"Old Ancestor."

The group quickly arrived where True Monarch Gu Yan was.

They saw True Monarch Gu Yan sitting on the ground, his face pale, drops of blood flowing from his mouth, looking very miserable.

"I am fine."

True Monarch Gu Yan said, revealing an extremely forced smile.

"What was the opponent's purpose?"

Su Yan asked directly.

He was curious about what the opponent's purpose was, besides the Crimson Smelting Yuan Tu Array.

"I do not know."

True Monarch Gu Yan shook his head.

He could not speak of that item.

Although it had been snatched away by that person, they still had hope of taking it back.

As long as the other Other Shore powerhouse of their Great Yan Dynasty returned.

Do not know?

Everyone naturally saw that True Monarch Gu Yan was lying, but since he was unwilling to say, Su Yan couldn't be bothered to ask.

This matter did not have much to do with him; he had already done what he should have done.

"I will wait until the support from Yuanxu Mountain arrives before leaving."

As his voice fell, Su Yan's figure disappeared from the spot.

To prevent the Demonic Path people from making a comeback, he planned to wait until the support from Yuanxu Mountain arrived before leaving Yan Capital.

"Li Ye, stabilize the situation in Yan Capital. Anyone who dares to cause trouble, kill without mercy."

True Monarch Gu Yan managed to stabilize his injuries and then said to Li Ye.

"Yes."

Li Ye said with a grave expression.

The Old Ancestor was right; Yan Capital absolutely could not fall into chaos.

"Everyone from Yuanxu Mountain, Meng Ran, you take them to rest well."

True Monarch Gu Yan looked at Lin Ming and the others and said.

They would still need to rely on the power of Yuanxu Mountain later, so they absolutely could not mistreat the people from Yuanxu Mountain.

"Yes."

Meng Ran nodded.

Because of Li Cheng's death, Li Ye had easily taken over the Imperial Guards and the military.

But because of Ku Ming, the Imperial Guards and the military had also suffered heavy casualties.

One could imagine the casualties throughout the entire Yan Capital.

On the other side, Meng Ran brought Lin Ming and the others back to the Demon Suppression Division and arranged for them to rest in various rooms.

Afterwards, he also arranged for the people from the Demon Suppression Division to engage in disaster relief.
