Chapter 1977

The crescent moon was like a hook, and the grassland in front of them looked gloomy and lonely.

The Fear Castle's territory was a grassland that was desolate and uninhabited. It was said that no living creature dared to trespass, as no one would be able to leave the place alive.

Of course, such rumors were only used to scare ordinary people. In fact, the reason why no one dared to trespass this place was that it used to belong to the Hakone Sacred Land. The Hakone Saint had gifted this place to the Fear Castle Lord.

Once the Saint spoke, this place became the Fear Castle Lord's personal territory. Moreover, the Fear Castle Lord was very powerful, so no one dared to trespass this place.

Although the Jade Dynasty was rich in mineral veins, the grassland was barren. Hence, no one would dare to trespass this place.

As they entered the grassland, they saw a huge shadow under the crescent moon. It was the Fear Castle. It was said that the walls of the castle were built with corpses.

Flying in the sky was too eye-catching. To prevent the Fear Castle Lord from escaping, Gu Chen and the Clay Bodhisattva landed on the grassland. They concealed their bodies and auras as they approached the Fear Castle slowly.

The outline of the ancient castle became clearer. It looked majestic and grand, but it was dark red in color as if it was dyed with blood.

No, the decorations on the gate were obviously carved from white bones. There was indeed a lot of killing going on here!

Gu Chen sensed the innate murderous aura and recalled the information he had about the Fear Castle Lord.

The Fear Castle Lord was rumored to be from the Rice Demon Tribe. It was unknown when he came to the Jade Dynasty and was recognized by the Hakone Saint. It was even rumored that he was adopted by the Hakone Saint.

It was only a rumor because the Fear Castle Lord was too low-profile. Although he belonged to the Hakone Sacred Land, he rarely interacted with the people from the Hakone Sacred Land.

Even the people from the Hakone Sacred Land didn't know much about him. Hence, no one would dare to ask the Hakone Saint directly.

Although he kept a low profile, everyone knew that the Orochi Saint treated him differently. Otherwise, no matter how barren the grassland under the Fear Castle's jurisdiction was, no one would treat such a huge piece of land as their private property.

Mysterious. This was the first thought that emerged in Gu Chen's mind after reading the information about the Fear Castle Lord. He felt that the Orochi Saint's attitude towards this person was rather special.

The Hakone Saint was originally an Hakone Serpent and belonged to the top bloodline of the snake race. He had inherited the characteristics of the snake race and had many descendants.

Almost all the members of the Hakone Sacred Grounds were the descendants of the Hakone Saint. What right did he have to treat a foreign adopted son differently?

One of the reasons why Gu Chen made this trip was because of the uncertainty of the Fear Castle Lord's identity.

He walked to the front of the dark red castle. The castle gate was closed, and it was quiet inside. There seemed to be no sign of life at all.

The leader of the Fear Castle was a loner. It was said that there were no guards in the castle. This was where he lived alone.

This seemed a little strange. However, according to the Hidden Dragon Tribe's investigation, this was indeed the case. Only the Castle Master of the Fear Castle lived in such a huge castle.

This greatly facilitated Gu Chen's actions. As long as there was no one else in the castle, he could attack without restraint!

Of course, the absence of guards didn't mean that there was no danger. There were restrictions everywhere in the Fear Castle. It was not easy for an ordinary person to break in.

"I'm finally here again."

The Clay Bodhisattva looked at the skeleton lights on the tower and couldn't help but tremble.

He would never forget the last time he came here. He had come here with the determination to die, thinking of avenging her.

However, he was afraid in the end. He only stole the Fear Stone and ran away. He didn't have the courage to fight the opponent.

He felt humiliated!

He felt ashamed and angry!

Because he couldn't get over that hurdle in his heart, he had been hiding in the Great Ancient Swamp for decades. He turned himself into a monster just to overcome the fear in his heart!

Today, he was finally here again. However, he was trembling when he thought of that man and how she died in front of him!

"Are you okay?"

Asked Gu Chen calmly as he sensed the Clay Bodhisattva's intense emotions.

The Clay Bodhisattva took a deep breath and his eyes turned red. He said with determination, "Boss, I know I'm being stubborn, but please hand him over to me. I'll kill him!"

"Can you do it?" Gu Chen looked at him and wasn't surprised.

"If I can't kill him today, I'd rather die here!"

Said the Clay Bodhisattva as he clenched his teeth. The demons in his heart had been tormenting him all these years. To him, it was time to end everything.

"I understand. I'll leave him to you. If you fail, I won't save you. "

Said Gu Chen coldly. The Clay Bodhisattva's expression turned solemn. However, he quickly nodded his head. "Thank you!"

Since they had arrived at the castle and his divine sense could confirm that there was only one person's aura in the castle, Gu Chen didn't hide anymore. He looked at the castle gate and casually poked it with his finger.

Tendon Changing Finger!

As soon as the finger from the Yuan Gate was poked, the castle gate collapsed. Cracks started to spread along the walls on both sides like spider webs.

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

In the blink of an eye, the exterior of the castle had completely collapsed. A large number of restrictions were destroyed, and smoke and dust rose like a dragon!

Gu Chen stepped over the rubble and entered the castle expressionlessly. At this moment, a murderous aura suddenly exploded and swept towards him rapidly!

This murderous aura was very strange. It could evoke all kinds of hidden fears in one's heart. Even with Gu Chen's courage, he instantly felt a chill spreading from his limbs. It was terrifying!

"He's here!"

The Clay Bodhisattva was also attacked by the murderous aura. His breathing became rapid as he lifted his head and looked at a figure on the castle's balcony with a ferocious expression.

The figure was very huge. Its entire body, including its face, was covered with straw. Its eye sockets were pitch-black, and it seemed like it was leading to a hopeless abyss.

The strange murderous aura was emitted from the figure. As soon as the figure stood there, the aura of the entire Fear Castle seemed to have changed. It became even more terrifying and eerie!

The golden blood in Gu Chen's body sensed something. It shook slightly, and the chilling chill disappeared from his body.

He lifted his head and looked at the Fear Castle Lord calmly. He squinted his eyes slightly.

The spiritual energy emitted from the Fear Castle Lord was from the same source as the Fear Stone that the Clay Bodhisattva had given him.

This spiritual energy wasn't purely murderous. One couldn't be fearless just because they had been through hundreds of battles.

It could awaken the deepest fear in one's heart. It could make one lose all courage to resist!

Gu Chen looked at the Clay Bodhisattva beside him. His forehead was covered in cold sweat due to the released energy. However, his eyes were burning with hatred. It was obvious that he was trying his best to resist the rise of fear.

Gu Chen didn't know if he would be able to resist this strange energy if he didn't have the Glorious Ancient Overlord Body. This energy was more troublesome than he had imagined.

This wasn't the first time the Clay Bodhisattva had faced such a formless and fatal pressure. However, he was clearly more courageous this time!
