Chapter 1112

"The Abode Master assigned me to represent him. He said that as long as I can retrieve the Underworld Sword, I'll pay any price."

"My words were indeed rude, but it's enough to show the sincerity of the Underworld."

The Ghost Emperor was rendered speechless by Gu Chen's questions, so he tried to explain himself.

However, the more Gu Chen listened, the more he felt that it was full of flaws. An emissary representing the Underworld should not have revealed his bottom line before the ideal conditions were reached.

However, the Ghost Emperor directly said that he was willing to pay any price to retrieve the Underworld Sword. This did not make anyone feel that he was sincere. Instead, it gave the impression that as long as he could retrieve the Underworld Sword as soon as possible, nothing else mattered.

"Ghost Emperor, don't you remember me?"

Gu Chen felt that there was no point in continuing to probe, so he asked directly.

"What are you talking about, Lord Gu?"

The Ghost Emperor immediately panicked when he heard this. It was the expression of someone who had lost his mind because the situation had developed beyond his control.

Gu Chen's eyes turned cold and he suddenly reached out!

Since the other party still wanted to pretend, he might as well reveal his true colors and figure out what was going on!

He owed the Ghost Emperor a favor. If he did not figure out the ins and outs of the matter, he would not be able to rest easy!

Slap.

Before the Ghost Emperor could react, Gu Chen grabbed his throat with absolute strength. The Ghost Emperor floated in midair, his face full of fear.

"Lord Gu, as the emissary of the Underworld, even if you don't agree to my conditions, you can't kill me!"

He said as he struggled.

"Tell me, where did you take my friend! You're not him, so why do you look like him? "

Gu Chen said coldly, his killing intent filling the entire hall.

The Ghost Emperor immediately understood what the problem was. He let out a shrill scream, and black smoke rose from his head!

Whoosh!

The black smoke shot out of the hall at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, it had traveled thousands of meters. The Heavenly Soldiers at the door did not even have time to react.

"Do you think you can escape here?"

Gu Chen grabbed the Ghost Emperor's body with one hand, and a black vortex appeared in his other palm. A terrifying suction force suddenly appeared.

Hum –

The black smoke that had fled over 8km away suddenly paused, and then its smoke-like body actually transformed into wisps uncontrollably and was forcefully pulled back by Gu Chen!

"No! Spare me! Spare me! "

It was so scared that it could not speak coherently and panicked. In the end, it was taken back by Gu Chen, who sealed its cultivation and threw it into the hall!

"What happened?"

The Heavenly Soldiers outside the hall were alarmed. Tang Ning and the other Heavenly Generals sensed something and entered.

Gu Chen's expression was very unsightly. He ignored the black smoke on the ground and extended his Divine Sense into the Ghost Emperor's body.

After the black smoke abandoned the body and fled, the Ghost Emperor's body became an ownerless object, and there were no signs of a soul.

Gu Chen didn't believe it, so he used his divine sense to search carefully. But after a short while, his heart fell straight to the bottom!

The original Ghost Emperor had used the power of the Yellow Springs to turn himself into a half-human half-corpse existence. Although it was eerie, he still had his own consciousness.

But now, his body had completely turned into a refined corpse. Although his strength had reached the Immortal Prime realm, he had no consciousness at all!

If the black smoke had taken over the Ghost Emperor's body, then where was the Ghost Emperor?

Gu Chen understood the corpse refining method of ghost cultivators. Since the Ghost Emperor had become a refined corpse, his soul might have already dissipated from the world!

"Tell me, where did the original soul in this refined corpse go?"

Gu Chen put down the corpse and questioned the black smoke in shock and anger.

Back when he fought against Huangfu Wuji, the Ghost Emperor had helped a lot, so Gu Chen had always owed him a favor.

He had once promised to help him sever the Heavenly Dao shackles when he returned from the Immortal Spirit Continent. Unexpectedly, they had parted ways after that and never met again.

Although they had never met, Gu Chen always remembered his promise. He had never thought of not paying back what he owed the Ghost Emperor.

However, when they met again, his soul had already disappeared, and his body had been viciously turned into a refined corpse!

He could not bear the treatment his old friend had received!

"Lord Gu, please spare me! Lord Gu, please spare me! I didn't know that this Ghost Jue was acquainted with you. This refined corpse was given to me by my master, I was only following orders! "

The black smoke turned into the soul of a short old man, who knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

"What's going on? Isn't he an emissary of the Underworld? "

The heavenly soldiers who entered immediately realized that they might have been deceived.

"Who's your master? What happened in the Underworld? Tell me everything. If there's any deception, I'll kill you immediately! "

Gu Chen said coldly. His anger was extremely rare, causing many of the heavenly soldiers present to keep quiet out of fear.

"I was originally a rogue cultivator of the Ghost Dao. Because I was clever enough, I was taken in by my master, the Netherbird, more than a year ago."

"My master came from the outer world and is a genius of the Ghost Dao. He conquered the Underworld, and I benefited from it. I'm usually in charge of helping him with the chores."

"Not long ago, the news of the battle between the Celestial Court and the supremes of the outer world spread. When my master heard that the Yellow Springs Dao Sword had appeared, he had a plan and sent me here to … to …"

The old man said truthfully. He stuttered towards the end and did not dare to continue.

"You want to cheat the Yellow Springs Dao Sword?"

When Tang Ning, Li Shunyu, and the rest heard this, their expressions turned ugly.

They originally thought that the Underworld had the intention of defecting to the Celestial Court, but it turned out to be a liar!

What was even more unexpected was that the mighty Underworld had actually been infiltrated by the forces of the outer world!

"Netherbird? I've never heard of this genius from the outer world. Even with the Underworld's vast foundation, they actually lost to him? "

Li Shunyu asked in disbelief that the Underworld had actually suffered a calamity. "Did the Underworld's Prefect, Mo Yanshen, defect to the Netherbird?"

"No, my master said that humans are unreliable. Only corpses are reliable. My master has a black jade bottle, and all the souls of the cultivators in the Underworld have been sucked in by him. "

"The Underworld is now filled with my master's refined corpses. Only me and a few other servants are serving him."

Hei Yan said with trepidation, afraid that he would be killed by Gu Chen the moment he finished speaking.

"The entire Underworld has fallen?"

Li Shunyu was dumbfounded. Because the Underworld was an extremely low profile force, and their disciples rarely wandered outside, they did not even know that such a thing had happened.

Come to think of it, if not for the fact that Gu Chen happened to know the original owner of this refined corpse, the entire Celestial Court would probably have been deceived.

At that time, not only would the Yellow Springs Dao Sword be lost, but the Celestial Court's alliance would also have such a spy. The consequences would be unimaginable!

"Frined Gu, this is our mistake. The Old Man is willing to accept any punishment!"

Li Shunyu looked at Gu Chen immediately, his heart filled with apology.
