Chapter 190

With power and glory, even the royal family tried to connect by marriage.

As soon as Gu Chen arrived in the Nine States, he deeply felt the prestige of the Huangfu family.

That so-called prodigy of the Huangfu family was only two years older than him, but he had already entered the immortal-level, which made him feel a sense of urgency.

He did not belittle himself, silently taking all this as a spur, and soon arrived at the contact point of the Celestial Court.

"Reporting to my lord, all the information regarding the Samsara Cultivator that you wanted is here."

"He is an extremely famous Taoist Planter in the Nine States, and his dojo is less than two hundred miles from here on Mount Huaning."

Gu Chen took the pile of information and hurriedly browsed through it, his face showing delight.

He did not expect that the Samsara Cultivator's residence was not far away, which saved him a lot of time.

"Also, regarding the items that my lord is offering a reward for, there is no news about the strange poison you want, but there are many people who meet your requirements who are willing to sell the treasures. My lord, perhaps you can find a time to reply to them."

The steward continued. Gu Chen nodded. He was offering a reward for several kinds of treasures, mainly to increase his strength. This matter was not urgent, and could wait until he reached the Green State.

He soon left Whale Gazing City, flying through the air and heading straight for Mount Huaning.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Along the way, Gu Chen saw groups of cultivators from time to time.

Some of them wore the robes of cultivation sects, and some were obviously the people of the court. Most of them did not even look at him when they saw him, directly passing by.

He did not pay attention, and had a rough guess as to where they were going.

Swoosh!

Another group of cultivators flew through the clouds, leaving a hundred feet away from Gu Chen, and was now not far from the boundary of Mount Huaning.

He was already used to it, and was about to speed up to his destination when he saw the group turn back and stop him.

"Is there something I can help you with?"

He asked indifferently, sizing up the group in front of him.

These people wore black and white sect robes, led by a middle-aged man with a protruding mouth and ape-like cheeks.

The middle-aged man looked closely at Gu Chen, and blurted out. "You're from outside?"

Gu Chen nodded. He was dressed in the style of the Baijing Prefecture, which was slightly different from the Central Earth Empire.

Seeing that this outsider had an ordinary appearance and was dressed a little out of place, the group of people exchanged glances and revealed malicious smiles.

"Have you seen the person in the portrait?"

The middle-aged man in the lead took out a portrait of a devastatingly beautiful girl.

"I've never seen her. Who is she?"

Gu Chen shook his head and asked casually.

"You don't even know who she is? As expected of a country bumpkin. "

The group of cultivators immediately scoffed and ridiculed him.

"Let me tell you, this is the most beloved princess of the Imperial Family, Ji Lanchu. She has gone missing. If you see someone who looks like her in this area, remember to report to my Yin Yang Sword Sect as soon as possible. My sect will definitely reward you. "

"Are you people from the Yin Yang Sword Sect?"

Gu Chen's face revealed a trace of surprise.

"Why, is there a problem?"

The middle-aged man immediately raised his eyebrows. The other party's tone seemed to have something to do with their sect.

"No, I've just heard that the Yin Yang Sword Sect is an overlord in this area. I lost my composure when I heard it just now."

Gu Chen immediately gave a perfunctory reply.

This Yin Yang Sword Sect reminded him of the Zheng siblings he had met in the Greedy Wolf City.

The sect that the Zheng siblings were from was called the Yin Yang Sword Sect. Back then, they had stolen the black cauldron that was related to the Armament King's Armory that the Yin Yang Sword Sect had obtained with great difficulty and escaped from the sect.

Thinking about it carefully, according to the diary that Zheng Li left behind after her death, their sect was also in the Youzhou. If that was the case, then the Yin Yang Sword Sect should be the sect he was thinking of.

He had accidentally obtained the black cauldron that they regarded as a treasure. With such a coincidental encounter, he couldn't help but be surprised. This couldn't be an ill-fated relationship, right?

"Hmph, it's good that you know how powerful my Yin Yang Sword Sect is. Let me tell you, the person in front of you is my sect's Elder Jia! "

Hearing that this country bumpkin had lost his composure after hearing the name of the Yin Yang Sword Sect, the group of people revealed looks of disdain.

"Greetings, Elder Jia."

Gu Chen pretended to be respectful as he said.

This person's cultivation could be seen at a glance under his divine sense. He was at the middle stage of the Nirvana Realm.

"No need to be so polite. Remember that if you see the person in the portrait, you must report to my Yin Yang Sword Sect as soon as possible."

After being praised, Elder Jia raised his head and puffed out his chest. Even his words had the demeanor of an expert.

"Of course, of course. If there's nothing else, then I'll be leaving first."

Gu Chen smiled.

"Wait."

Seeing that Gu Chen was about to leave, Elder Jia coughed twice and rubbed his thumb and index finger.

"Have you paid the floating tax since you've arrived at my Yin Yang Sword Sect's territory?"

"Floating tax? What's floating tax? "

Gu Chen was astonished.

The eyes of a few Yin Yang Sword Sect disciples flickered as they sneered, "Looks like you didn't pay the tax. Cultivators have to pay the floating tax when they fly through my Yin Yang Sword Sect's territory."

"You're really bold. How dare you evade taxes. Aren't you afraid of being questioned by us?"

As they spoke, their expressions became sinister. At this time, Elder Jia advised.

"Nonsense!" "This little brother is an outsider. It's obvious that he doesn't know the inside story. As the saying goes, those who don't know are innocent. Don't blame him."

Gu Chen looked at the group of people playing the bad cop and the good cop. He was amused in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be on tenterhooks.

"I really didn't know that there was a floating tax. Please forgive me if I've offended you. I wonder how many crystals this floating tax will cost? "

Hearing his question, Elder Jia blinked his eyes. "How much do you have?"

As soon as he said this, he realized that it was inappropriate. Just as he was about to change his words, he saw Gu Chen speak.

"I'm embarrassed. I only have ten thousand crystals on me. I wonder if it's enough?"

"Ten thousand crystals?"

The group of people looked at each other and revealed expressions of joy.

"It's still not enough, but seeing that you're very sincere, forget it. Ten thousand crystals it is."

Elder Jia pretended to be reluctant and said.

Gu Chen immediately took out ten thousand crystals and gave it to the group of people.

This extra income came too easily. The group of Yin Yang Sword Sect disciples were somewhat unsatisfied. They looked at the white ape on Gu Chen's shoulder and saw that it looked very intelligent. They couldn't help but be tempted.

"Leave this monkey here too," a person said casually.

The expression of Gu Chen, who was originally very easy to talk to, suddenly became cold, and killing intent flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"I'm sorry, this monkey is wild and hard to train. Let's forget it."

The disciple was a little dissatisfied. Just as he was about to say a few words, he saw Elder Jia waving his hand.

"Forget it, forget it. You even want a monkey. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if it gets out? You can go! "

In the end, he said to Gu Chen.

"Then I'll take my leave."

Gu Chen immediately flew into the air and left.
