Simulator: Starting as a Green Snake and Transforming into a Dragon

Chapter 404 Frontline

When Miejue heard the news that Gu Yuchuan had arrived, her eyes immediately reddened. During this period, she had been guarding the city with great difficulty, suffering great damage every day.

Seeing her juniors and the people she was supposed to protect die before her eyes, Abbess Miejue wished she could die with them.

Even though people in the martial arts world often say that Abbess Miejue is cold-hearted and ruthless, no one has ever questioned her heart for protecting the people. Miejue is such a person.

Having experienced war, the murderous intent in her eyes became even more intense, even tinged with a hint of gloom.

"The senior has finally arrived, and we are saved. I thank the senior on behalf of all the people in the world."

She adopted a very humble attitude. It seems that her years in officialdom have brought about some changes in Abbess Miejue. At the very least, she is no longer as arrogant and conceited as Gu Yuchuan had imagined.

Gu Yuchuan accepted her bow once, then stopped her from bowing again.

"Alright, since you are Zhiruo's teacher, you don't need to bow to me anymore. Tell me about the situation at the front."

Abbess Miejue nodded and began to speak.

It turns out that the front line is so difficult because the enemy has produced a Nascent Soul stage Ghost Emperor called Crimson Sky Ghost Emperor. Judging from the name, it is clear that he is related to Crimson Flame Ghost Emperor.

In that world, there are only two cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, the former at the first level and the latter at the fifth level.

It was only through the suppression of the world and the formation left by Zhou Zhiruo that Abbess Miejue was able to lead these people to survive here. Otherwise, Abbess Miejue would have been a mere Golden Core cultivator at the Great Perfection stage, far too weak in the eyes of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Gu Yuchuan had no worries about this Nascent Soul Level 1 cultivator at all.

"Alright, Abbess, you look very haggard. Go and rest. I'm going to challenge you directly. Today, I will kill this Crimson Ghost Emperor and avenge the people who died tragically. Let's boost morale. I think everyone's morale is too low."

Abbess Miejue's brows remained furrowed: "Senior, that ghost is exceptionally powerful. Perhaps we should consider this further."

Although Gu Yuchuan knew the other party meant well, his gaze still turned cold. Since becoming the ruler of the dynasty and the emperor, he really couldn't stand hearing others disobey him.

“Master, I have my own ideas. You just need to do as I say.”

Gu Yuchuan's domineering presence caused Abbess Miejue to lower her head: "Yes."

Gu Yuchuan was much more satisfied then: "Master, go and inform the people and soldiers to immediately assemble near the city wall so that I can kill the Ghost King on the other side and boost morale."

This time, Abbess Miejue didn't say anything more. Gu Yuchuan's attitude seemed full of confidence, which made Abbess Miejue believe that he was capable of doing this.

When Abbess Miejue issued the order, many people showed fear and confusion. The defeat in this world had caused both the army and the people to feel defeated, so it was normal for them to be depressed now.

However, Gu Yuchuan believed that their morale would be restored after this battle.

About an hour later, the city wall was filled with people. Although they had many emotions, no one dared to disobey military orders.

Many people were whispering among themselves, realizing that the other side had noticed such a large commotion.

Upon seeing this, the Crimson Sky Ghost King was filled with doubt. Although he didn't know what the other side was doing, such a large-scale operation couldn't be useless. After thinking for a moment, he flew out anyway.

"Humans, you've gathered here because you think you can't defeat us and are preparing to sacrifice yourselves to us? How clever of you! Abbess, I'll devour these people and give you a spot as a ghost servant."

Gu Yuchuan appeared at this moment. The Crimson Ghost Emperor had no idea how he appeared in front of him. His pupils dilated considerably, shocked and filled with apprehension.

"Are you the Demon King who wreaks havoc here?"

Gu Yuchuan's voice was devoid of emotion, calm as if he were not facing a living being.

The Crimson Sky Ghost King felt ashamed of being frightened and immediately regained his arrogance.

"Another human, so what? What do you mean by evil? We just want you to join my Crimson Flame Ghost Realm. It's an honor for you."

Although he couldn't see through Gu Yuchuan's cultivation level, he wasn't afraid at all. Generally speaking, the most powerful person in the world is the Lord of the World. He had met Zhou Zhiruo, and if the other party wasn't as powerful as Zhou Zhiruo, he wouldn't be able to defeat him either.

Gu Yuchuan was too lazy to say anything to him, but instead shouted to the humans behind him.

"Gentlemen, today I will show you my demon-slaying skills. These ghosts are nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs. What is there to be afraid of?"

The Crimson Sky Ghost Emperor was furious, his face becoming even more ferocious, and a dense aura of ghostly energy surged behind him, making him look incredibly imposing.

However, on the human side, many people puffed out their chests, and those around them who didn't know the inside story hurriedly asked, only to receive the same answer.

"You don't recognize this senior? That's because you're ignorant. He's the husband of our Empress. His cultivation and magical power are even above that of the Empress. He was the one who helped our Empress deal with the people who opposed the Empress's alliance. Look, this Ghost Emperor is about to be completely destroyed."

However, the Ghost Emperor has been putting too much pressure on them lately. Even after learning Gu Yuchuan's identity, many people still expressed disbelief.

But Gu Yuchuan made his move. With a thought, the world around him changed, as if he had entered a world where only water existed. This was his domain of laws, where he was a god.

Here lies an endless sea, with a light drizzle falling from the sky, and moisture everywhere. Water-based spells and supernatural powers can exert even greater force here.

Now it was the Crimson Sky Ghost Emperor's turn to be dumbfounded. He had no idea what this was. His understanding was completely incomprehensible, and he couldn't comprehend what a domain of laws was.

He's just a Nascent Soul cultivator from a small world; the difference in their perspectives is truly enormous.

However, he quickly calmed down. Having lived for eight hundred years, he naturally knew that in battle, one must fight with all one's might and cannot afford to be distracted in the slightest. Any distraction could lead to defeat or even death.

"Alright, you are indeed impressive. I can't see any flaws in this move. However, I am not to be trifled with. I didn't become a Ghost King in the Nascent Soul stage just by talking."

The ghostly aura around him had become even stronger, but when he circulated his magic power, his expression suddenly turned extremely ugly. The ghostly aura in this world had completely dissipated, and he could no longer absorb any ghostly aura from the air.

This illustrates one thing: the sea beneath our feet is another world.
