Chapter 1048
In the Black Dragon City, Gu Chen was walking around casually, unruffled.
The streets were crowded, but he seemed to be taking a leisurely stroll. Wherever he passed, people didn't even notice his arrival.
His companions had split up to subdue the bandit legions near the Black Dragon Planet, while he had arrived at the Black Dragon City, the largest city on the Black Dragon Planet.
He seemed to be wandering aimlessly, but his Divine Awareness had already spread out, covering the entire Black Dragon Planet.
He had also sent out tens of millions of Sky-Devouring Demonic Butterflies to observe every corner of the planet, paying attention to the slightest movement.
A huge amount of information was transmitted into Gu Chen's mind through the Sky-Devouring Demonic Butterflies' Divine Awareness. He was absorbing all kinds of information like a sponge.
"The masters of the Barbarians have arrived at the Milky Way. They said they would protect Heaven General Huang."
"Not just the Barbarians, but the Mirage Monsters are here too. But it's strange that apart from these two subsidiary forces, Ancient Heaven hasn't made any moves. No one has seen the celestial soldiers and generals."
"I heard that the Lord of Ling Long Celestial Palace is here too. The battle between them and the Fallen Flowers Divine Sect has become more and more intense. I didn't expect them to have time to watch this battle."
"The starry giants of the Infinite Fey God Sect and the Yi Clan have all shown up these days. Looks like even the big shots are paying attention to Huang's destined battle …"
Countless pieces of information interweaved in Gu Chen's mind. He sorted them out and analyzed them.
This battle had attracted many big shots, but he couldn't find any clues about the mighty army hiding behind the Desolate God Clan.
That person had hidden well, which meant his scheme had been successful.
Why had the Xing County sent the Outer World Hundred to the Ninth Realm?
The Outer World Hundred had been expanding and stirring up trouble everywhere. What was their real intention?
These were the first two questions Gu Chen had to figure out on his return to the starry sky.
He would only know what he had to do based on the answers to these two questions.
He wouldn't be arrogant, nor would he underestimate his enemy. He decided to take things one step at a time, steadily and surely, because his life was valuable. Someone was waiting for him to go home.
Walking through the streets and alleys of the Black Dragon City, Gu Chen had a better understanding of the current situation by combining the Divine Awareness and the information collected by the Sky-Devouring Demonic Butterflies.
Even if there were still some omissions, once his companions brought back information from the various rebel armies, it would be enough to make up for them.
"The world is getting more and more chaotic. I need my own intelligence network to be able to strike first."
Gu Chen pondered. He didn't ask everyone to subdue the bandit army just to gather intelligence. He planned to use these bandits to build his own intelligence network.
If everything went well, at least in the Milky Way Star Sector, his intelligence network would not be inferior to some second or third-rate forces.
"Hmm?"
As Gu Chen was thinking, a Sky-Devouring Demonic Butterfly transmitted a mental wave.
It had actually met an acquaintance and immediately informed Gu Chen.
Gu Chen closed his eyes and spread his Divine Awareness into a house in the Black Dragon City. He saw the man the Sky-Devouring Demonic Butterfly had found.
"It's actually her. The people from the Nether Realm have also come?"
Gu Chen murmured. The woman the Sky-Devouring Demonic Butterfly had found was Ye Fei, the Virgin of the Nether Realm. She was with several Nether Kings, seemingly arguing about something. All of them looked distressed.
Deep in thought, Gu Chen had the Sky-Devouring Demonic Butterfly stop on the eaves of the house to eavesdrop on their conversation.
"Don't you understand? We can't go back to the Nether Realm. We should stay as far away as possible! "Ye Fei said anxiously.
"Virgin, this is only your guess. If we leave now, we will be considered traitors of the sect and will be wanted by the Nether Realm!"
Baron said hesitantly. The other Nether Kings were also worried.
"The Virgin has disappeared after entering the Tower of the Nether Emperor. The two Nether Lords have also disappeared mysteriously. Even Lord Xiu Sha has become very strange. Don't you understand what has happened?
"This time, we finally escaped from the Nether Realm and came to this Black Dragon Star by investigating the whereabouts of the Thousand Faces Temple. We should take advantage of the chaos of the Milky Way to escape. But you want to go back to the Nether Realm? If you miss this opportunity, you will never be able to reincarnate! "
Ye Fei said resentfully. Seeing that they were still hesitant, she gritted her teeth and said, "Forget it. If you don't want to leave, I will leave by myself! "
The Nether Kings' expressions changed. "Virgin, if you leave, how will we report to the Nether Realm?"
"If you are still loyal, just say that I have been killed!" Ye Fei's eyes flashed.
"This …"
The Nether Kings looked at each other. Baron shook his head. "That won't do. Lord Xiu Sha will definitely see that we are lying. He will kill us then."
"That's your problem. Either you come with me, or you'll take the blame!"
Ye Fei said and turned to walk out of the house.
"Saintess, please wait! Give us a few more days to think about it! "
The Nether Kings hurriedly tried to dissuade her.
Ye Fei took a deep breath. "Alright, I will give you two more days to think about it. You must make a decision in two days. Also, remember, if you betray me, you will not have a good ending! "
She said threateningly and left the house, leaving the Nether Kings struggling in the house.
"A bunch of idiots. They really won't give up until they reach the yellow river."
In a remote alley, Ye Fei walked alone. Thinking about the Nether Kings' nagging made her feel extremely annoyed.
If it wasn't for the fact that it was too risky for her to escape alone, she wouldn't have bothered wasting her breath.
She walked with a heavy heart. However, she realized that the light from the buildings around her was gradually dimming. In the end, it was as if night had fallen.
"Something is wrong. It is noon now."
Her expression suddenly turned cold as she looked around vigilantly at the pitch-black surroundings.
Could it be that her escape plan was exposed?
"Who is it? Come out! "Ye Fei gathered her courage and said.
A white-robed young man walked out from the darkness with a faint smile on his face. "Virgin Ye, long time no see."
When Ye Fei saw who it was, he turned pale with fright. "It's you! Chen Gu, no, Overlord Gu Chen! "
She took a few steps back because the person in front of her was no longer the person in her memory.
Two years ago, this person had killed the leader of the Gold Clan with one strike. She still remembered it vividly!
"Don't worry. We have no enmity between us. I don't plan on doing anything to you," Gu Chen said calmly.
Only then did Ye Fei calm down a little and ask solemnly. "Why are you here?"
Gu Chen didn't reply. Instead, he looked at Ye Fei with interest.
As the Virgin of the Nether Realm, the impression that Ye Fei gave him was that she was loyal to the Nether Realm and had a fanatical faith in the Emperor of the Underworld.
However, he had eavesdropped on her conversation with the Nether Kings. She was actually encouraging them to escape the Nether Realm. This matter was too unusual.
