Chapter 1121

The serene bird was immediately moved. "Continue!"

"The Celestial Court Overlord has the intention to rebuild the Immemorial Immortal World, and the Underworld was one of the few great powers in the Immortal World back then.

"The Underworld Dao Sword is a relic of the Underworld Immortal Emperor and should belong to the Underworld. Moreover, this person has a benevolent and righteous side. You might be able to obtain the Underworld Dao Sword," the green-robed man suggested.

"You mean that I should use the name of the Underworld to obtain the Underworld Dao Sword? What if this matter is exposed? What good would it do for you to stir up this matter? "

The serene bird was skeptical.

"To be honest, I also participated in the battle between Lei Xiao Zi and Yu Zhenren's attack on the Ancient Heaven. My side suffered a crushing defeat and I was the only one lucky enough to escape.

"Therefore, if I can teach the Celestial Court a lesson, I will be more than happy. Moreover, I hope that after you obtain the Underworld Dao Sword, you will help me with something. As for what it is, we will talk about it after you succeed. "

After listening, the serene bird considered whether the other party's words were true or false. At this moment, the green-robed man spoke again.

"Oh right, you should know about the legend of the Underworld Treasury, right?"

The serene bird's eyes suddenly lit up...

The scene completely shattered here. Gu Chen could no longer hear the conversation between the two people, but a name appeared in his mind — Fang Wen!

From the conversation between the two people, the person who was talking to the serene bird was most likely the mysterious Fang Wen!

Who would have thought that he would leave before the battle with the Ancient Heaven, causing Yu Zhenren and Lei Xiao Zi to suffer a crushing defeat, then disguise himself as a loser to tempt the serene bird to ask the Celestial Court for the Underworld Dao Sword!

What was he thinking? What was he plotting?

Gu Chen's heart was in turmoil. Thinking back to the conversation between Fang Wen and the serene bird, he realized that there might be a huge plot behind this.

He was still unclear what this plot was. Perhaps it was the huge relic that he had mentioned to the serene bird, or there might be a deeper motive.

The other party was adept at scheming, able to predict his ambush even though they had never met. Such an enemy was impossible to fathom!

When Gu Chen was on the Cang Huang Ancient Star, he had fought with many cultivators in the Dao of Destiny, but Fang Wen was on a completely different level from them!

He was so powerful that even when he used the Soul Search to read the Serene Sparrow's memories, he still couldn't capture his true appearance.

It was as if he was an anomaly and did not exist in this world!

Gu Chen fell into deep thought due to the fragmented memories. His eyes shone with the light of deduction as he tried to deduce the other party's true motive.

By the time he came back to his senses, a long time had already passed, and the chaos in Hell had already ended.

The Underworld's Refined Corpse Army was under the control of the Serene Sparrow. After its death, its simple consciousness fell into chaos and was easily suppressed by the Underworld's cultivators.

Most of the cultivators of the Underworld had reclaimed their bodies, erased the simple consciousness of the refined corpses, and took control of them again.

Even though their bodies had changed quite a bit due to the Serene Sparrow's modification, they were ghost cultivators in the first place, so the impact wasn't too great.

There were also some cultivators whose bodies were unfortunately destroyed in the previous battle, and could only be temporarily turned into ghosts, which would be refined into suitable puppets in the future.

With the chaotic situation in the Underworld under control, the Underworld cultivators, led by Mo Yanshen and the Yama Kings of the Ten Palaces, gathered before Gu Chen.

Gu Chen tried his best to deduce Fang Wen's plot, but it was a pity that he wasn't proficient in the Dao of Destiny, so he came up empty-handed.

When he came back to his senses, he saw that the Underworld's cultivators were all fixated on the Ghost Emperor.

The Ghost Emperor looked at him, and a rare smile appeared on his cold face. "Long time no see."

Finally able to speak to the real Ghost Emperor, Gu Chen's heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Back then, when he escaped from Feng Lin Mansion and rushed towards the vast world of cultivators, it was the Ghost Emperor who watched him grow.

Later on, when he fought with Huangfu Wuji, it was the Ghost Emperor who stood on his side, causing the Yellow Springs Inn to change sides, thus changing the entire situation.

After he crossed the sea to the Immortal Spirit Continent, it was the Ghost Emperor who helped him protect the Kunlun Continent.

He had helped him a lot, but the promise he made to do for him, the promise to sever the Heavenly Dao's shackles, was meaningless now.

"I'm sorry, Senior, I wasn't able to protect your physical body," Gu Chen said guiltily.

The Ghost Emperor's physical body was destroyed in the battle, so among the Ten Yama Kings, he was the only illusory soul body.

The Ghost Emperor had guessed what the first sentence Gu Chen would say to him would be, but he didn't expect it to be an apology.

He had thought that after so many years, the other party's attitude towards him should have changed since he was now the number one Heavenly General of the Celestial Court.

He didn't expect that the way he addressed him was still the same, and that apology didn't seem fake at all.

What a pure heart.

The Ghost Emperor sighed in his heart, but the smile on his face became even warmer. "There's no need to mind it. I was originally half human, half ghost, so it's not a pity even if my physical body is gone. I'll just cultivate the Dao of Yin Souls."

Gu Chen was silent for a while. The Ghost Emperor said it lightly, but he was very clear that losing his physical body was a huge loss to him.

He glanced around and his gaze landed on the Heaven Rakshasa Emperor's corpse not far away.

After the death of the serene bird, this Emperor's corpse was no longer controlled by anyone. It had already ceased to be as ferocious as before.

However, no one would forget how powerful it was. It was a treasure that ghost cultivators dreamed of.

Gu Chen pondered if he could make this Emperor's corpse the Ghost Emperor's new physical body.

It was extremely difficult to do this. Even the serene bird had to use a secret technique to forcefully increase its soul power before it could barely merge with the Emperor's corpse.

Although the Ghost Emperor's soul had also reached the Immortal Venerable realm, it was even weaker than the serene bird in its normal state. It probably didn't have the ability to control this Emperor's corpse, let alone merge with it.

This matter was very difficult, but Gu Chen had some ideas in his mind. It might not be impossible.

If he could do this, the debt he owed the Ghost Emperor would be completely repaid.

This matter still needed to be studied carefully. Gu Chen kept the Emperor's corpse in front of the upper echelons of the Underworld. He then glanced at the Underworld Prefecture Lord Mo Yanshen.

Mo Yanshen could be considered as an extremely experienced Star Lord. However, under Gu Chen's gaze, he was inexplicably nervous.

The person in front of him was the peerless Overlord who almost destroyed the entire Underworld, the serene bird. Although he saved the Underworld, they did not know each other. Mo Yanshen's heart was pounding.

He could only hope that based on the relationship between the Underworld and the Celestial Court, as well as the past relationship between the other party and the Ghost Emperor, the other party had good intentions towards them.

"Thank you, Overlord, for saving us!"

Mo Yanshen took a deep breath and bowed respectfully towards Gu Chen.

Many cultivators of the Underworld followed suit and bowed.

This bow was not out of fear of power, but out of sincere gratitude.

"You're welcome."

Gu Chen waved his hand without any arrogance.
