Chapter 1224

"So what? Am I supposed to give the person I caught to you for free? "

Qiu Mengyi raised her eyebrows. This person was clearly related to the Jingling Taoist. She might be able to capture him with this clue, but it was impossible for her to let go of him.

"If you are willing to let go, His Majesty the Celestial Emperor will owe you a favor. This favor is not something that just anyone can get."

Yuan Buhuo tried to persuade her.

"What a favor from the Celestial Emperor. Gu Chen is your Celestial Emperor, but he is not mine. I don't care about it."

Qiu Mengyi sneered.

Yuan Buhuo's expression turned ugly. Qiong Qi, who was beside him, said in a low voice, "Stop talking nonsense with her. We can just take her down!"

"I'm afraid you're not qualified."

Qiu Mengyi's eyes lit up again. Yuan Buhuo took a few steps back in fear.

"Qiu Mengyi, you have to think this through. His Majesty the Celestial Emperor just helped you get out of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda, and now you want to make him your enemy?" he said solemnly.

Qiu Mengyi's eyes flickered. At this critical juncture where the Pure Spirit Demon Region was about to attack the Great Thunderclap Monastery, she was already prepared to observe in secret and act according to the situation. If she were to fall out with the Heavenly Court now, it would not be a wise move.

"Master …"

Ye Qingshuang wanted to say something but stopped. She was in a difficult position.

The person was caught by her master, so it was not a big deal if she did not give him to others.

However, she heard that this man was Gu Chen's friend. She did not want her master to hurt the relationship between the Celestial Court and her master because of him.

Qiu Mengyi deliberated for a moment, then sneered and said, "Forget it. I do owe Gu Chen a favor for being able to walk out of the Demon Sealing Pagoda. It's not impossible to hand him over to you, but you have to wait until I interrogate him first."

Yuan Buhuo and Qiong Qi listened for a while and nodded. "Sure."

As long as Wu Lingxian was not killed or crippled, they would be able to answer to the Celestial Thearch. If they were to become enemies with Qiu Mengyi, not only would they not be able to win, but Wu Lingxian's safety would also be in grave danger.

Both parties came to an agreement, and Qiu Mengyi quickly used her illusory art to get the information she needed from Wu Lingxian.

However, she was soon disappointed. Although this person knew some inside information about the Pure Spirit Kingdom's operation, he did not know where the Jingling Taoist was.

He seemed to have been tracking the powerful weapon that the Pure Spirit Kingdom was preparing to use on the Tempest Temple. Unfortunately, the weapon had long been taken away by members of the other Demon Territories, and he did not know where it was.

To put it simply, this person was useless to her!

Since it was useless, Qiu Mengyi threw him to Yuan Buhuo and Qiong Qi.

"Tell your Celestial Emperor that if we give this person to him, all the favors we owe him will be written off. Also, tell him to stop sending people to spy on me. Even if he does send people, send people that are not easily discovered. "

The two nodded awkwardly, and quickly left with Wu Lingxian.

"Master, from what Wu Lingxian said, the Man with a Bamboo Hat is probably well-prepared this time. Can Gu Chen win?"

After they left, Ye Qingshuang could not help but ask worriedly.

Wu Lingxian secretly investigated the actions of the members of the Demon Territories, and the conclusion he obtained was really unsettling.

The Heterodox Demon Statue was an extremely shocking weapon.

"Look at you, the battle hasn't even started, and you're already worried about him."

Qiu Mengyi shook her head and comforted her, "Don't worry. Since that kid can become the Celestial Thearch, he naturally has his true abilities. If he really is in trouble, I'll help him. "

Ye Qingshuang was greatly relieved when she heard this, and she smiled like a flower.

"Master, you're the best."

…

Tempest Temple, the temple where Gu Chen and the others were temporarily staying.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, long time no see."

Gu Chen looked at Wu Lingxian and said calmly.

"Mm, I didn't expect you to be in the Tempest Temple. I've heard about what happened in the Immortal World Relic."

Wu Lingxian looked at Gu Chen, who had a calmer temperament than before, and sighed.

He had fallen into that woman's trap this time. Fortunately, he met Gu Chen's people, or the consequences would be unpredictable.

Back in the Primordial Spirit Continent, he had once taken in Gu Chen. At that time, he was the enemy of the entire world. Who would have thought that he would have the status he had today?

He really envied Gu Tianming for having such a good son.

He sighed in his heart.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, I've heard about what happened. What's up with the Heterodox Demon Statue?"

After some small talk, Gu Chen went straight to the point.

Wu Lingxian's expression turned solemn, and he began to explain seriously.

"The Heterodox Demon Statue was a research project of the Jingling Taoist before the chaos in the Divine Realm. He planned to use it in the Divine Realm."

"It's said that the materials used to refine the Golem were painstakingly collected by many members of the Demon Protectorate who were scattered across the 67 Star Territories. Whether it's the refining level of the Golem itself or the Array Formation, they've all reached the highest level in the Ninth Realm."

"How powerful is it exactly?" Penglai Island Master interrupted.

"The Heterodox Demon Statue was originally planned to be used in the Divine Realm, but the Jingling Taoist planned to use it to destroy the entire Divine Realm."

Wu Lingxian exhaled deeply, and everyone's expression changed.

All the powerful forces of the Godly Dao had gathered in the Divine Realm. How powerful was the weapon that could destroy them along with the Divine Realm?

Gu Chen looked at Yuan Buhuo and Qiong Qi with a grim expression. It was such a big event, but they didn't notice it at all.

"We've heard the rumors about the Heterodox Demon Statue. Your Holiness did want to put it on the battlefield in the Divine Realm, but some details were incomplete. Besides, Tang Ning led the Celestial Court to surrender, and the Demon Realm had space to retreat. Therefore, Your Holiness gave up the plan."

Yuan Buhuo explained immediately, afraid that Gu Chen would misunderstand.

The Pure Spirit Kingdom had planned to seize the 8,555 Dao Fruits during the Divine Realm Conference. After the plan was completed, they would think of a way to escape.

The Man with a Bamboo Hat's original plan was to use the Heterodox Demon Statue to destroy the Divine Realm, but there were some uncertainties.

Firstly, the Heterodox Demon Statue was incomplete at the time, and secondly, it was too powerful. It could easily drag everyone in the Demon Realm into it.

Coincidentally, the incident with Xu Yuan happened. The Man with a Bamboo Hat took down Tang Ning and used him to obtain the power of the Celestial Court.

With the Celestial Court's help when they attacked the Divine Realm, the plan was canceled, and the matter of the Heterodox Demon Statue was forgotten.

Who would have thought that the Man with a Bamboo Hat planned to use it in the attack on the Tempest Temple?

Yuan Buhuo and Qiong Qi had been secretly communicating with the members of the Demon Realm for the past few years, but they didn't hear anything about it. It was unbelievable.

"It seems like the Man with a Bamboo Hat has his guard up against you."

Gu Chen's expression darkened. Yuan Buhuo and Qiong Qi were controlled by the Devil Blade, so it was impossible for them to betray him.

The only explanation for not knowing about such an important matter was that the Man in Bamboo Hat had already seen through their current position and deliberately hid it from them!
