Chapter 1086

"If I want to reorganize Ancient Heaven, Tang Ning might be able to help me. In addition, that Supremacy Fang Wen from the outer realm isn't simple. If he's really like the rumors say, perhaps only Tang Ning can deal with him. "

Gu Chen's eyes flickered as he seriously pondered.

The plan to attack the Desolate Emperor and Ancient Heaven was so meticulous that it couldn't have been done without an expert.

Fang Wen had clearly played an important role. The main reason why Ancient Heaven had suffered such heavy losses was because of him.

Gu Chen was very clear about how terrifying divination techniques related to the Dao of Fate were. No matter how powerful one was, they could die if they weren't careful.

Tang Ning was known as the Book of Lives and was ranked third on the Immortal Execution Board. Only he could deal with Fang Wen.

The more Gu Chen thought about it, the more he felt the need to find Tang Ning. When he returned to his residence, he asked Big Brother Jiang if there was any news about Tang Ning.

"I've heard about Tang Ning before. It's said that after he was stripped of his position as a Heavenly General, he left Ancient Heaven. Some say that he was imprisoned to reflect, while others say that he went into seclusion," answered Jiang Baiming.

Jiang Baiming replied. He was indebted to Tangning, so he was naturally concerned about her whereabouts.

Gu Chen frowned. If Tang Ning went into seclusion, that would be troublesome. Where could he find him?

"Although I don't know where Tang Ning went, there's someone in Ancient Heaven who should know," said Jiang Baiming with a thought-provoking smile.

"Who?" Gu Chen was stunned.

"The Empyrean Maiden! It's rumored that the Empyrean Maiden has an extraordinary relationship with Tang Ning. Don't you know? "Jiang Baiming winked.

"There's such a thing?" Gu Chen was very surprised. He thought about it carefully. Compared to the other Heavenly Generals, Tang Ning's relationship with the Empyrean Fairy was indeed better.

"You've only been in the Ancient Heaven for a short time and you only know how to cultivate. That's why you've never heard of these affairs." Jiang Baiming shook his head and was about to talk about some indescribable things he had heard in the streets.

The Dragon Horse and the White Ape immediately gathered around to listen. Gu Chen shook his head and returned to his room to rest. "Since the Mysterious Lady might know, I will ask her when she returns to the Mysterious Lady Palace."

…

The news of Overlord Gu Chen's return to Ancient Heaven quickly spread in Fairy Lady Palace, causing a lot of commotion in Ancient Heaven.

Many Celestial Soldiers had different opinions about the Overlord, who had only been a Celestial General for a short period of time. Some thought that his return would alleviate the crisis that Ancient Heaven was facing, while others thought that his position in the Divine Realm was unclear and could not be easily trusted.

The only thing that both sides had in common was that no one questioned his strength.

The story of the Desolation Emperor's battle in the Milky Way had long been spread. As the successor of the Desolation Emperor, many people had great expectations for Gu Chen.

A few days after Gu Chen's return, many commanders of the Celestial Army came to see him. The Celestial Generals who had gone out to battle would also come to visit him as soon as they returned.

Gu Chen did not reject any of the visitors. From their words, he could more directly understand the current situation on the battlefield.

The situation was not optimistic. The allied forces led by the three young Supreme Venerables from the Outer Realm were closing in step by step. They were constantly shrinking the range of activities in Ancient Heaven. It would not be long before the Empyrean Fairy Palace was exposed.

Every day, a large number of Celestial Soldiers were injured or killed. Their route was often inexplicably discovered, and then they encountered inhumane massacres.

If the fall of the Celestial Soldiers was an inevitable loss of war, then the successive sacrifice of several Celestial Generals left a deep shadow in the hearts of everyone in Ancient Heaven.

Gu Chen learned from the Heavenly General Lan that there were less than 75 Celestial Generals in Ancient Heaven. There were only 64 left.

What did it mean that there were only 64 Celestial Generals left?

When Gu Chen first attended the Heavenly Music Parlor meeting, there were 85 Celestial Generals present. In just a few years, one-third of the Celestial Generals had fallen. It was easy to imagine how weak Ancient Heaven was.

Although the fall of the Celestial Generals was not entirely due to this battle, but also because of the chaos in the Divine Realm two years ago, the losses brought about by this disaster were still unbearable.

When the Primeval Immortal World was still around, there used to be 653 Celestial Generals in Ancient Heaven. How miserable was it now?

If the Desolation Emperor knew about this in the underworld, he would definitely die with even more grievances.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen was even more determined to reform Ancient Heaven.

Because some people in Ancient Heaven did not trust Gu Chen's group, Gu Chen did not go out to participate in the battle.

He watched the entire battle from the sidelines and made his own strategic considerations.

On the fourth day of staying in the Mystic Fairy Palace, the Mystic Fairy returned.

She had just returned and did not need Gu Chen to find her. She went to Gu Chen's residence by herself.

The two sat face to face, and Gu Chen personally poured tea for the Mystic Fairy.

Although the two had seen each other many times on different occasions, they were not very familiar with each other. Hence, the Mystic Fairy's behavior was a little unnatural.

After drinking a cup of tea, the Mystic Fairy adjusted her state of mind. When she spoke, she did not mention the current depressed situation of the war. Instead, she talked about the vast starry sky.

"Now everyone says that the Ninth Realm has ushered in a golden era. Experts are emerging one after another, and geniuses from the Outer Realm are also coming in droves to get a share of the loot. What do you think, Tyrant?"

Gu Chen glanced at the Empyrean Fairy in surprise and answered concisely. "The golden era only belongs to the Ninth Realm."

The Mystic Fairy smiled and said heartily. "At the Heavenly Sound Pavilion meeting, no matter what the Tyrant wants to do, I will stand by your side."

Gu Chen raised his eyebrows. "No matter what I do, you will follow me?"

The Mystic Fairy nodded with certainty, as if she had long understood the purpose of Gu Chen's return to the Celestial Court.

Gu Chen could not help but feel a burst of admiration in his heart. She was so swift and decisive. No wonder people said that the Mystic Fairy was the embodiment of beauty and wisdom.

After exchanging views on the current situation with the Mystic Fairy, Gu Chen asked about Tang Ning.

At the mention of Tang Ning, the expression of the Mystic Fairy, who had been able to answer fluently, became a little more complicated.

Gu Chen touched his chin. It seemed that what Brother Jiang had said was true. The Mystic Fairy and Tang Ning really had something going on.

"I wonder why the Tyrant is looking for Tang Ning?" The Mystic Fairy pondered.

"I have something I need his help with." Gu Chen smiled.

The Mystic Fairy's expression suddenly became strange. "Doesn't the Tyrant care about the fact that Tang Ning expelled you from the Ancient Heaven?"

Gu Chen shook his head and said. "Although Tang Ning expelled me from the Ancient Heaven, he did not do much harm to me. Moreover, he led me into the starry sky and gave me an opportunity. This is a favor."

"People tend to only remember enmity and forget kindness. It's rare to see someone like the Tyrant," the Empyrean Fairy lamented.

"Do you know where Tang Ning is now?" Gu Chen asked again.

"I know. After he was removed from the position of Heavenly General two years ago, Tang Ning said that he wanted to imprison himself to reflect on himself. He has been living in seclusion until now." The Mystic Fairy answered truthfully.

"Oh? Where is he living in seclusion now? "Gu Chen's eyes could not help but light up.

"Speaking of which, the place where he lives in seclusion is not far from the Mystic Fairy Palace. He was the one who shamelessly asked for it from me."
