Chapter 1273

Feng Yaya paused. "If they can't survive, they will be made into puppets. If they have no value in any aspect, they will be thrown into the incinerator of the Ministry of Works."

Gu Chen fell silent. The girl just now was unarmed. To the Xing County, she probably had no value.

How long could she keep the innocence in her eyes? How long could she live?

Gu Chen thought of the desperate screams he had heard along the way. The Xing County was just the tip of the iceberg, and it was enough to make him feel disgusted.

He subconsciously clenched his fists. He stood where he was for a long time, but he finally let go.

"Let's keep going," he said coldly. He buried the scene he had just seen deep in his heart.

The three of them continued walking. As soon as they passed through a towering tower, someone was waiting in front of them.

"Hehe, my little Yaya, you're finally back. I was so worried."

A green-haired young man's eyes lit up when he saw Feng Yaya. He quickly walked up to her.

Feng Yaya's expression became tense when she saw him. Her body froze on the spot.

The green-haired young man walked up to her openly. He put his face close to her beautiful purple hair and sniffed it frivolously.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. You smell as good as ever."

Feng Yaya did not avoid or speak. Gu Chen keenly sensed that there was a trace of fear in her emotions …

Feng Yaya, who was known as the crazy girl and had the terrifying talent of the Divine Hands of Creation, was actually so afraid of the young man in front of her?

Gu Chen was very surprised. Under his divine sense, this young man looked ordinary, like a mortal.

However, there were no mortals in the Xing County. The more ordinary he looked, the more difficult he was!

"Greetings, Master Kong!"

Wu Li, who was beside him, suddenly bowed deeply to the green-haired young man.

Only then did the green-haired young man return to his senses from his conversation with Feng Yaya. His gaze swept past Wu Li and landed on Gu Chen.

"You are Gu Chen of the Ninth Realm, right? Thank you for showing mercy to our Yaya in the Ninth Realm. You even let her come back on your ship. "

The green-haired youth smiled.

Gu Chen instantly realized that the man in front of him was probably the big shot from Xing County who had arranged for Feng Yaya to come back with him on the same boat!

"You are?" Gu Chen's expression froze.

"My name is Kong Sheng, Yaya's fiance." The green-haired youth introduced himself.

Fiancé?

Gu Chen looked at Feng Yaya in surprise and saw that she did not refute. She just pursed her lips tightly and did not have her usual cheekiness.

Feng Yaya's reaction to seeing her fiancé was too strange, and Gu Chen could not help but ponder.

Along the way, Feng Yaya had been trying to get close to him, as if she had something to ask of him. Could it be related to her fiancé?

"Little Brother Gu, you must have had a hard journey. I'm here on His Majesty's orders to welcome you."

"We'll be colleagues from now on. If you don't mind, you can just call me Big Brother Kong."

Kong Sheng was very warm and polite. Feng Yaya and Wu Li, who knew his identity, felt a ripple in their hearts.

"Lord Kong personally received Lord Gu, and even said that we'll be colleagues from now on. Could it be that Lord Gu's position is …"

Wu Li's eyes narrowed, and Feng Yaya's expression changed.

"You're too kind, Brother Kong."

Gu Chen did not address him as brother as Kong Sheng had hoped. Instead, he seemed calm and distant.

Kong Sheng only smiled when he heard this. He did not mind. When he turned to see Feng Yaya and Wu Li's surprised expressions, the corners of his mouth curled up.

"What? Don't you know that His Majesty is going to appoint Little Brother Gu as the Great General of Tian Fa? Everyone in the Penalty Circle knows about this recently. "

Great General of Tian Fa!

When Gu Chen heard this, his expression changed slightly.

Pang Zheng, who had died in his hands, was the Great General of Tian Fa in Xing County. He naturally knew what this position meant.

There were only ten Great Generals in Xing County, and they were only below one person and above tens of thousands.

He did not expect Xing Daojun to give him such an important position so soon after he had defected!

Gu Chen had thought that he would be captured and executed the moment he arrived in Xing County. He did not expect to receive such a courteous reception.

Did Xing Daojun really value him and give him such an important position? Or was there some kind of conspiracy?

"The position of the Great General of Tian Fa is so important. Doesn't the military have any objections to this arrangement?"

Feng Yaya could not help but ask. She was worried for Gu Chen.

"Oh, Little Brother Gu is a little inexperienced, but since he was able to kill Pang Zheng, it means that he is capable enough. The military does not object to this arrangement. The ones who object the most are those who think that they have the power to influence His Majesty's decision. "

Kong Sheng spoke disdainfully when he mentioned those nobles.

Feng Yaya wanted to ask for more details, but Kong Sheng interrupted her with a smile. "Alright Yaya, Little Brother Gu must be tired from the journey. Let him rest first. We'll know tomorrow if there are any problems."

"Little Brother Gu, what do you think?" He looked at Gu Chen.

"That's fine."

Gu Chen nodded. He had no intention of getting to the bottom of the matter. He appeared especially calm, causing Kong Sheng to look at him a few more times.

Kong Sheng quickly led Gu Chen to a special courtyard, then left with Feng Yaya.

Wu Li had just returned to Xing County. She had to explain to the military why they lost the war, so she left as well.

Gu Chen stayed in his room alone. Because he was not sure if someone was watching him, he pretended to be cultivating while thinking about the appointment that Xing Daojun was about to give him.

If there were no accidents, he should be able to see the Dao Lord who ruled over a hundred worlds tomorrow. The most dangerous moment was about to come.

Deep into the night, Gu Chen was still in a state of cultivation.

At this moment, an ant sneaked in through the gap of his tightly shut window!

This ant crawled all the way to the edge of his bed and up his sleeve, attracting his attention.

"Gu Chen, it's me. Don't speak. Don't show any changes in your expression. Just listen to me!"

A voice sounded in Gu Chen's mind. Although he was surprised, his expression did not change.

Seeing that he was unmoved, the ant heaved a sigh of relief and continued speaking.

"Listen up. Tomorrow, Xing Daojun will officially appoint you as the General of Tian Fa. When the time comes, no matter who tries to stop you, if you want to live, you must act tough!"

"If you successfully become the General of Tian Fa, I will come find you again. I know the real reason why you came to Xing County. If you want to succeed, listen to me! "

The voice stopped abruptly, and the ant that had stopped at Gu Chen's cuff suddenly turned into ashes and disappeared without a trace.

Gu Chen's expression became serious. It seemed that he had been embroiled in complicated trouble as soon as he arrived in Xing County.
