Chapter 1049

Because of this, he decided to meet Ye Fei out of curiosity.

At the same time, the Nether Realm had an intelligence network that was second to none even among first-rate factions. Perhaps Ye Fei could be of help.

"That's right, you're the successor of the Desolate Immortal. Thus, you've come here with the intention of interfering in the duel five days from now?"

Before Gu Chen could reply, the clever Ye Fei had already guessed it.

"You're the Saintess of the Nether Realm, yet you're fleeing the Nether Realm. Why is that?"

Gu Chen did not follow up on Ye Fei's words. Instead, he went straight to the point.

Ye Fei's expression changed when he heard that. He immediately understood that Gu Chen had heard their conversation earlier!

She stared at Gu Chen for a long time before she suddenly said, her face cloudy and uncertain. "You owe me for helping me escape from the Nether Realm's control!"

Gu Chen laughed involuntarily. "When did I owe you anything?"

"Two years ago, in the Arena of the Gods, you promised me that if I could help you join the competition, you would tell me about Ying Zun. But in fact, you used me, and you didn't keep your promise!"

Ye Fei gritted his teeth and said.

Gu Chen was speechless for a moment. He had really forgotten about this matter.

"I killed Ying Zun long ago. Alright, I'll tell you now." Gu Chen responded casually.

"Ying Zun is dead?"

When Ye Fei heard this, she was stunned. She didn't think that Gu Chen would answer so readily, and the answer was actually like this.

The man who almost destroyed her cultivation path, she wanted to tear him into pieces even in her dreams. She didn't expect that he had already died in the hands of this Overlord!

All of a sudden, Ye Fei felt that his obsession of many years had lost its direction, and he was at a loss.

Gu Chen shook his head and didn't say anything, letting her sort out her emotions.

After a long while, Ye Fei came back to his senses and gritted his teeth. "No matter what, you broke your promise back then, so you still owe me. You must help me escape the Nether Realm's control!"

Gu Chen glanced at the road outside. "Can't you just run away like you originally planned?"

"No, that's different."

Ye Fei shook her head repeatedly. Originally, she only wanted to escape, but after seeing Gu Chen, her thoughts changed.

"Although I can escape, if I don't get rid of the imprint in my body, it doesn't matter how far I run." Ye Fei's face was filled with sorrow.

Gu Chen's eyes narrowed as he muttered. "The Underworld Emperor has already woken up?"

Ye Fei was quite surprised. "You really know about it. You really have a way to erase the imprint of the Emperor of the Underworld!"

A look of reminiscence appeared in Gu Chen's eyes.

"When I entered the Netherworld Emperor Pagoda back then, I discovered the Netherworld Emperor's secret. Anyone who cultivates the Cultivation Technique he passed down will have his mark left in their minds. According to him, anyone who cultivates his Cultivation Technique will become his cauldron."

"Human cauldron, human cauldron, what a good human cauldron!"

Ye Fei's lips curled into a bitter smile. "To tell you the truth, ever since a year ago, the Underworld Emperor has repeatedly sent out orders for the cultivators of the Nether Realm to enter the Pagoda. However, none of the cultivators who entered the Pagoda have ever come out."

"The Son and the two Underworld Supremacies are all dead. Although Lord Xiu Sha is still here, he is not in a good condition. If I stay in the Nether Realm, only death awaits me! I once swore to serve the Underworld Emperor, but I will never become his food! "

Gu Chen listened thoughtfully. The resurrection of the Underworld Emperor must have something to do with the recovery of the Daoist power.

According to what the White Whale had said, the Underworld Emperor destroyed his own cultivation and imprisoned himself in the Pagoda of the Underworld Emperor in order to avoid the Collapse of the Emperors.

Now that the Daoist power had recovered, Xing Jun's attitude towards the Ninth Realm was hard to predict. The Underworld Emperor must have other intentions.

Back then, the Underworld Emperor might have crippled his own cultivation, but he probably left behind a backup plan. The backup plan was the countless human cauldrons that cultivated his cultivation technique.

Gu Chen wouldn't forget the terrifying ability of the Underworld Emperor to search the memories of Huangfu Wuji, who had been dead for a long time. His human cauldrons had a close relationship with the Underworld Emperor and were probably the key for him to return to the Emperor Realm.

It was precisely because of this that the Underworld Emperor started to devour the assassins of the Nether Realm in order to recover his vitality.

Ye Fei had obviously noticed this, which was why he decided to escape the Nether Realm.

When he thought that the Underworld Emperor, who was neither human nor ghost, might return to the Emperor Realm, Gu Chen's heart had a pressing sense of danger.

The Underworld Emperor knew that the Myriad Origin Root was with Jiang Yi and was injured because of Jiang Yi previously. The Underworld Emperor would definitely not let Jiang Yi off after he recovered his strength.

A Dao Querying Realm emperor who had recovered his strength was definitely not someone that Gu Chen wanted to have a direct confrontation with.

"I have to think of a way to deal with the Underworld Emperor."

There was a flash of chilling light in Gu Chen's eyes.

"Gu Chen, back then, you also entered the Underworld Emperor's Tower and were able to leave the Nether Realm calmly. You must have the ability to erase the Underworld Emperor's imprint. Help me resolve this worry. I will never forget this favor!"

Ye Fei pleaded. Gu Chen's appearance made her feel that there was hope for her to completely break free from the Underworld Emperor's control. This was much more useful than escaping blindly.

"You are mistaken. I don't have the ability to help you resolve the imprint on your body."

Gu Chen shook his head. Back then, he was able to resolve the imprint in his and his companions' minds mainly because they had just been planted and it was relatively easy to erase them.

However, Ye Fei was different. She was the Nether Realm Saintess and had cultivated the Nether Realm's cultivation technique for far too long. The imprint was already deeply rooted in her body and had even fused with her primordial spirit. If he were to erase the imprint, it might cost her life.

Gu Chen spoke the truth while Ye Fei's eyes revealed despair. "Could it be that I have no way to break free from the Underworld Emperor's control? I have cultivated my entire life, and in the end, I will become his food? "

Gu Chen's eyes flashed. If the Underworld Emperor regained his vitality, he would be in a very dangerous situation. He couldn't just sit and wait for danger to appear.

"Although I cannot help you erase the imprint, if the Underworld Emperor dies, you will naturally be free."

Gu Chen's words caused Ye Fei's expression to change. "You mean …"

"Being my spy in the Nether Realm can be considered saving your life," Gu Chen said straightforwardly.

Ye Fei hesitated for a moment. She wasn't sure if Gu Chen could truly defeat the Underworld Emperor. If he didn't have that ability, she might as well run away now and hide as far as she could.

However, she thought that if she ran away, she might have to live in the shadow of the Underworld Emperor for the rest of her life. That kind of life would be too sad. She might as well risk her life and fight!

"Alright, I am willing to do my best to cooperate with you!" Ye Fei made up her mind.

Gu Chen nodded. This matter still needed to be discussed at length. The battle between the Desolate Immortals and the Desolate Gods was even more pressing.

Gu Chen quickly asked Ye Fei if she had any information about the outsider genius, Xiong Jun. With the Nether Realm's investigative abilities, there might be some clues.

"Xiong Jun? We have never heard of this genius' name before, but we do know about the Desolate God Race relying on an outsider genius. "

Ye Fei told the truth. Her words caused Gu Chen's expression to shake.
