Chapter 1022

Gu Chen looked at the two of them and fell into deep thought.

The reason why he had spared their lives after the battle was naturally because he had his own reasons for doing so.

He looked at Hai Dongqing and asked. "Friend Hai, how much control can the Devil's Blade of Yan Ling control over people?"

Hai Dongqing seemed to understand what Gu Chen was thinking. A smile appeared on her face.

"The Devil's Blade's control over people goes deep into their souls. Frined Gu can give them any order. That way, no matter how far away they are, they will remember the order."

"Will they always be this dumb?" Gu Chen asked again.

"Not really. Under normal circumstances, they will be no different from before. They won't even remember the fact that they are being controlled. Only when the order is triggered, or when Frined Gu gives a new order, will they become abnormal."

"Is this effect permanent?"

"As long as the Devil's Blade is in Frined Gu's hands, those who have been slashed by the Devil's Blade will always obey your orders. Based on my experience, there has never been an exception. "

Gu Chen and Hai Dongqing's question and answer sent chills down everyone's spine. If that was the case, the people who were enslaved by the Devil's Blade were really pitiful.

After listening to Hai Dongqing's explanation, Gu Chen had already made up his mind.

He walked towards the red-eyed Yuan Buhuo and Qiong Qi and said coldly.

"From now on, I order you to find the whereabouts of the members of the Pure Spirit Kingdom. Monitor and control them. If they do anything wrong, inform me. If it's necessary, kill them!"

"Also, Wu Lingxian is an exception. If you have any news about him, inform me immediately."

"Yes, master."

Qiong Qi and Yuan Buhuo nodded their heads blankly.

"Alright, you guys can leave before I change my mind."

With a cold look in his eyes, Gu Chen flicked his sleeves, and the two of them immediately flew away.

"You're letting them go just like that?" Long Ma asked in surprise.

"They are more valuable alive than dead. Not to mention, their current state is worse than death."

Gu Chen answered calmly.

To be honest, he did not want to let the two of them go. Yuan Buhuo almost killed them in Xu Yuan. Qiong Qi even tortured White Ape. To him, they deserved to die.

However, although the Bamboo Hat Man was dead, the Pure Spirit Demon Region had preserved the majority of its combat power, which was still a threat to him.

The Man with a Bamboo Hat died because of him. He had to prevent the Pure Spirit Kingdom from taking revenge.

Moreover, after seeing the word Heavenly Stele under the Taoist Mountain, he had more concerns, which prompted him to make this decision.

Some people disapproved of Gu Chen's decision to let the two of them go. Some were puzzled. Ji Lanchu looked a little worried. The joy of marrying Gu Chen had faded a little.

After settling everything, Gu Chen smiled and looked at the crowd. His eyes were full of expectation.

"Let's go back to the Ancient Cang Huang Star!"

He shouted in his heart. Mom, Grandpa, everyone, I want to go home!

...

After the war, in the barracks of the Ancient Heaven Army, Tang Ning drank wine in loneliness. He looked like he had aged a few hundred years.

Empyrean Fairy walked in from outside the barracks and said to Tang Ning as soon as she saw him. "In this attack on the Divine Realm, we have achieved great results. However, because we are small in number, we have suffered a great loss. The total combat power we lost is about..."

Before Empyrean Fairy finished speaking, Tang Ning waved his hand. "I know what you want to say. Skip it."

Empyrean Fairy was silent for a while before she continued.

"In addition, before Gu Chen withdrew from the Divine Realm, he had asked Yuan Buhuo to tell us where Heavenly General Li is imprisoned. The missing Heavenly Generals are also trapped there. We should send people to rescue them as soon as possible, lest the people of the Pure Spirit Kingdom take advantage of them."

Tang Ning laughed and took a big gulp of wine. "Why did you tell me this? Aren't you afraid that I will interfere? You will be more assured if you do it in secret. "

The missing Heavenly Generals had something to do with Tang Ning. He used the power of the Pure Spirit Kingdom to get rid of them and control the supreme power of the Ancient Heaven.

Once they return, they will certainly not let Tang Ning go.

Moreover, this attack on the Divine Realm by the Ancient Heaven had resulted in great casualties. Although the results were impressive, many people were also dissatisfied with Tang Ning.

It was conceivable that after Li Shunyu and the Heavenly Generals returned, Tang Ning would be in a worrying situation. If he knew about the rescue, it was reasonable to say that he would interfere.

Empyrean Fairy had always opposed the cooperation between Tang Ning and the Pure Spirit Kingdom. According to her character, this matter should be done privately to be safe. However, she had told Tang Ning, so he was surprised.

"I just don't think you will stop me." Empyrean Fairy looked at Tang Ning's dispirited look and replied with a complicated expression.

"You are still the same. You seem to know me very well." Tang Ning could not help but sneer.

Empyrean Fairy's eyes turned colder.

"Second Generation Heavenly General Gu Chen has left the Ancient Heaven because of you. General Hai Dongqing also has the intention of leaving us to follow Gu Chen. Even the alliance with the Heart Ape Tribe is gone. Given the current situation, what do you think we should do? Should we try to contact Gu Chen and see if we can change his mind? "

"Based on the power he displayed in the Divine Realm, if he is willing to return, I don't mind making him the leader of the Heavenly Music Pavilion and replacing you."

Empyrean Fairy's words shocked everyone. With her pride, this was almost the highest evaluation she could give.

Tang Ning laughed and shook his head. "Let's give up on Gu Chen. He is no longer on the same path as us."

Empyrean Fairy frowned. "He is a loyal person. Otherwise, he would not have told us the whereabouts of Heavenly General Li. As long as we use a soft strategy, he may still be able to return to the Ancient Heaven."

Tang Ning shook his head. "Don't waste time on this. Your energy should be focused on welcoming Friend Li back. He is more suitable to manage the Ancient Heaven than I am, especially in the coming period. "

"As for Gu Chen, let him be. His departure from us may not be a bad thing for the Ancient Heaven. If one day the Celestial Court is destroyed, he may be able to make a comeback … "

Tang Ning murmured and continued drinking.

Empyrean Fairy saw that he did not speak anymore and turned to leave.

Sometimes she felt that she understood Tang Ning very well. Sometimes she did not know what he was thinking.

Since he said that Gu Chen was no longer on the same path as them, why did he say that one day the Ancient Heaven would make a comeback because of him?

This was a contradiction. What did Tang Ning, who could read people's minds, predict this time?

After Empyrean Fairy left, Tang Ning was drunk and murmured in his sleep.
