Chapter 1116

"Thank you for the information and method you provided. The Underworld Dao Sword is indeed in the hands of the Celestial Court, and as you said, they have sent the sword here."

The serene bird said to the person on the other side of the voice transmission talisman. What it said shocked Gu Chen.

"You've done me such a big favor. Based on the principle of returning the favor, you can now tell me what you want me to do for you." The serene bird said again.

"This matter is not urgent. Wait until you break through the bottleneck." The person on the other side of the voice transmission talisman smiled faintly.

"It is not good to owe you a favor. Tell me first so that I can feel more at ease." The serene bird said with a slight sarcasm.

The person on the other side of the voice transmission was silent for a moment before he smiled. "In fact, it is nothing. Soon, a great relic will appear in the Ninth Realm. At that time, people from all sides will fight for it. I need help."

"The relic will appear? Did you calculate this? "

The serene bird's eyes lit up when he heard this. "For you to be so interested in the relic, it must not be simple, right?"

The person on the other side of the voice transmission talisman did not seem to want to talk too much. "Wait until you get the life and death sculpture in the Underworld Treasure Vault first. That thing is the key to entering the relic."

The serene bird listened thoughtfully and nodded. "Okay, I will contact you when it is done. I look forward to our cooperation."

He put away the voice transmission talisman, closed his eyes, and began to cultivate again.

Gu Chen's heart rippled as he listened to the entire conversation in the corner of the hall.

The matter with the serene bird was more complicated than he had imagined. He had been instructed by someone to cheat the Celestial Court of the Underworld Dao Sword, and the person in the dark had a deeper plot.

A great relic will appear in the Ninth Realm?

The life and death sculpture in the Underworld Treasure Vault that the Celestial Emperor gave to the Underworld Immortal Emperor is the key to entering the relic?

In a short period of time, Gu Chen heard many details and could not help but let his imagination run wild.

In the past two years, because of the recovery of dao power, the environment of the world had changed greatly. Many relic had appeared in the Ninth Realm, which was not unusual.

However, a relic that could attract so much attention from the geniuses of the outer realm must not be simple.

The Life and Death Carving given by the Celestial Thearch was the key to entering the ruins. Could it be that the ruins were related to the Celestial Thearch?

Gu Chen's heart was in turmoil. As the number one Immortal Emperor in the Archean Immortal World and the supreme leader of Ancient Heaven, if this matter was really related to the Celestial Emperor, the Celestial Court would definitely not stay out of it.

Gu Chen thought for a moment and then came back to his senses. He had too few clues regarding this matter. Everything would have to wait until he had captured the serene bird.

Seeing that the serene bird had gradually entered a meditative state in the main hall and was unable to hear any more information, Gu Chen thought for a moment, turned around, and quietly left the Yellow Springs Fairy Palace, returning to his residence.

"How's the situation?"

As soon as he returned, Tang Ning and Li Shunyu immediately asked.

"The situation in the Underworld is indeed as Gui Jue said. Other than the Serene Bird and the five servants, the rest are all refined corpses."

"The souls of the Underworld cultivators are imprisoned in the Soul Refining Bottle. I saw with my own eyes that Mo Yanshen and the Ten Kings of Hell are still alive, but their conditions are not optimistic."

"The serene bird's strength is average. I can take him down, but I need to be wary of him killing everyone in the Soul Refining Bottle."

"In addition, there is someone behind the serene bird. We can talk about this after we solve the problem of the Underworld. What we should think about now is how to save the Underworld cultivators. "

Gu Chen told him what he had seen and heard in full detail.

"What do you think we should do?" Tang Ning knew that Gu Chen must have a general idea.

"I saw a strange altar in the Yellow Springs Fairy Palace, and the Soul Refining Bottle is placed in the array."

"If I'm not wrong, the Soul Refining Bottle should not be able to leave the altar easily. If that's the case, we have a chance."

Gu Chen muttered, and his eyes gradually lit up.

"When I present the sword to the serene bird tomorrow, he will definitely leave the depths of the Fairy Palace. At that time, we will have a chance to snatch the Soul Refining Bottle."

"At that time, I will be in charge of taking him down, and the two of you will be in charge of snatching the Soul Refining Bottle!"

…

The next day, at the front of the Yellow Springs Fairy Palace …

The three messengers of the Celestial Court arrived under the guidance of the Ghost Servant. The moment they entered, they saw the Prefecture Lord of the Underworld, Mo Yanshen, sitting on the main seat with more than half of the Ten Kings of Hell present.

"Greetings, Prefecture Lord Mo."

The leader of the messengers, Gu Chen, greeted respectfully. The other two messengers followed suit.

"There's no need to stand on ceremony, messengers. It must have been tough for you to come from afar."

Mo Yanshen smiled, his gaze mostly on Gu Chen. To be more precise, it was on the sword box on his back.

"Prefecture Lord Mo should already know why we are here. The first general, Gu Chen, is willing to return the Yellow Springs Dao Sword to the Underworld in exchange for the support of the Celestial Court."

"The details of the agreement are all here."

Gu Chen took out a jade scroll and handed it forward with both hands respectfully.

Mo Yanshen nodded his head and gave a look. Gui Jue, who was standing below the hall, hurried forward and took the jade scroll from Gu Chen's hands before handing it over to Mo Yanshen.

He merely took a few quick glances before replying with a smile. "The Old Man has seen the contents of the agreement. The Underworld accepts it completely."

The messenger that Gu Chen was disguised as let out a look of joy. "That's great! With the Celestial Court and the Underworld working together once more, I believe that we will be able to restore the glory of the Celestial World."

"That's right. Since the Old Man has accepted the agreement, shouldn't you hand the Yellow Springs Dao Sword to me now?"

Mo Yanshen asked and gestured for Gui Jue to step forward once more.

Gui Jue's heart was trembling, but he could only brace himself and approach Gu Chen.

Gu Chen gestured for him to step back and looked at Mo Yanshen seriously. "Manor Head Mo, Lord Gu has ordered that this sword must be handed over to you personally and must not be handed over to anyone else."

Mo Yanshen was a little displeased. Wasn't this messenger a little too much by the book?

He was right in front of him. Wasn't that considered handing it over to him personally?

His dissatisfaction only lasted for a moment, because in the next moment, Gu Chen removed the sword case from his back and opened it. The simple and unadorned Underworld Sword came into view.

Given You Que's eyesight, she could tell that the Yellow Springs Dao Sword was the real deal with a single look. That thick power of death could not be faked.

'This Gu Chen of the Celestial Court is really an idiot. To think that he would really hand over the Yellow Springs Dao Sword to me.'

He scolded in his heart as he stood up hurriedly and walked down the stage.

"You're right, messenger. This sword should indeed be handed over by me personally."

He walked closer to Gu Chen. His fiery gaze was mostly focused on the Yellow Springs Dao Sword, completely ignoring the three messengers.

Gu Chen smiled and held out the Yellow Springs Dao Sword with both hands. Just as Mo Yanshen was a few feet away, the momentum of the sword suddenly changed!

Clang!

The original offering of the sword had suddenly turned into an assassination. Mo Yanshen's face changed. However, it was too late!

Pfft.

Gu Chen pierced through Mo Yanshen's head with a single stroke. It was clean and clean without any hesitation.
