Chapter 2039
At Binhai City's harbor, a brightly lit ship was anchored.
Along both sides of the coastline, a large number of cultivators constantly patrolled, forming a very tight security.
These cultivators were divided into two factions. One faction had swords by their waists and wore Sword Pavilion disciple robes. The men were handsome, and the women were pretty.
As for the other faction, they wore plain black clothes. There was a huge difference in their age and appearance, but they had one thing in common. These people had the sternness and caution that had accumulated from worldly experiences.
"Senior Sister Chu, what's the meaning of this Nether Parade? You've clearly hired people from Sword Pavilion to guard the place, but you still sent such a group of people at the last minute. Are you worried about Sword Pavilion's strength? "
On the ship, a few Sword Pavilion disciples stood together and looked at the many guests who had handed over their invitations and boarded the deck. They chatted casually.
"The owner of the Nether Parade will be attending the banquet tonight. These people were sent by her at the last minute. After all, this concerns business, so it's normal to be cautious. "
Chu Meixin didn't wear any makeup, but she stood out in the crowd. Almost every guest who boarded the ship instinctively noticed this devastatingly beautiful woman.
"I heard that the owner of the Nether Parade has a beauty that can bring disaster to a country. I wonder if it's true. In my opinion, no matter how beautiful she is, she's not as beautiful as Senior Sister Chu," said a female disciple beside her.
Chu Meixin remained expressionless when she heard the praise. She examined the guests who boarded the ship one by one and confirmed that there was nothing abnormal about them. She was very conscientious.
The Senior and Junior Sisters next to her were not surprised by her behavior and continued to chat casually. Occasionally, when they saw handsome male guests, they would quietly comment on them.
"Do you have an invitation?"
On the shore, a tall and thin middle-aged Daoist priest with a wooden crown walked straight towards the banquet ship. He was stopped by the guard and asked politely.
"Here."
The middle-aged Daoist priest took out an invitation and handed it to the guard with a smile.
The guard opened the invitation and looked at the golden words' Zhao Qiu 'on it. After confirming that the invitation wasn't fake, he made way.
"Mr. Zhao, please!"
Zhao Qiu boarded the ship with a smile. His gaze happened to meet Chu Meixin's. He revealed a friendly smile and began walking around the ship as though he was looking for someone.
Chu Meixin only glanced at him before retracting her gaze. She didn't find anything wrong with him.
Zhao Qiu was naturally Gu Chen. He boarded the ship alone and seemed to be walking around casually, but in fact, he had checked all the guards in the coastal waters in a short period of time.
The ones in charge of maintaining the order of the banquet were mainly the disciples of the Sword Pavilion. There were many of them, which was the same as the information they had received earlier. But in addition, there were many more people.
Gu Chen smelled the scent of desperadoes from these people. Judging from their scattered and undisciplined patrolling manner, they were not a group of people. It seemed that they had been temporarily conscripted together.
A cultivator from the Dark World, he should have been temporarily hired from the Ghost Parade.
Gu Chen quickly made a judgment. Considering that there were many big shots from the Dark World attending the banquet tonight, it was inevitable that the disciples of the Sword Pavilion, who lived on the bright side, would not be able to cope with them. Thus, the arrangement of the Ghost Parade was understandable.
Gu Chen quickly made a judgment. Considering that there were many Daoist priests attending tonight's banquet, the Sword Pavilion disciples, who lived on the bright side, would inevitably not be able to cope with them.
Gu Chen looked around for Ji Yang. A middleman like him must have arrived on the ship early and would not miss a good opportunity to make friends with powerful buyers.
Gu Chen started to look for Ji Yang. A middleman like him must have arrived on the ship a long time ago. He wouldn't miss a good opportunity to make friends with the powerful buyers.
Ji Yang was handsome and slick, so he easily became the focus of attention. Gu Chen quickly found him.
"Fellow Daoist Ji."
Gu Chen approached and spoke flatly.
Ji Yang was stunned when he heard the voice. He turned to look at Gu Chen and asked tentatively, "Fellow Daoist Zhao?"
Although the two of them had successfully carried out many transactions in the past few years, every time they met, it was in the Divine Ascension World. Gu Chen had always sent Clay Bodhisattvas or other people to handle matters in the real world.
Therefore, this was the first time Ji Yang and Gu Chen had met in the real world. Gu Chen had not shown his true appearance in the Nether Street, so Ji Yang could only guess Gu Chen's identity from his voice.
"It's me." Gu Chen nodded.
After confirming Gu Chen's identity, Ji Yang suddenly smiled.
"Why did Fellow Daoist Zhao only appear now? Come, come, let me introduce you to a few friends. "
Ji Yang said enthusiastically, pulling Gu Chen into his circle with a few words.
Gu Chen exchanged a few words with the people around him, but after that, he just listened and rarely spoke.
As Gu Chen listened, he soon realized that everyone present wanted to get to know Medusa, and Ji Yang also prepared to introduce them to Medusa later, as if he had promised himself.
Not only Ji Yang, but there were also several other well-known middlemen in the Nether Street. They mediated between many of the dark world's big shots, trying to facilitate big business.
The Elders of the Nether Street also arrived. They were surrounded by the most people, many of whom were inquiring about what items would be auctioned at tomorrow's auction.
The atmosphere of the banquet could be described as very lively, and Gu Chen seemed very inconspicuous.
"There are so many people here. The appeal of the Nether Street Parade is really extraordinary."
A group of guests walked into the venue at this time, and the person in the lead sighed.
Gu Chen sensed it and raised his head, glanced at the group of people, then immediately looked away.
The person who sighed was Zhang Hao. Although he had disguised himself to a certain extent, Ninja and Clay Bodhisattva were right beside him, so Gu Chen could naturally recognize them.
In addition to Zhang Hao, Sheng Kuafu and Zhou Tai were also present. In addition, there were two other people who were also disguised.
"Who is it?"
Gu Chen frowned slightly. Ninja had taken his place and returned to the Leaping Carp Tower, so he did not know what had happened after that.
Zhang Hao's spiritual perception was extraordinary, so Gu Chen did not dare to look too much, lest he be discovered.
The group entered the venue and looked around, as if they were here to have fun. They brushed past Gu Chen, but no one paid him any attention.
However, Gu Chen listened attentively and realized that the voices of the other two people were somewhat familiar.
In addition, he noticed that the two people seemed to have some injuries on their bodies, so he quickly confirmed their identities.
It turned out that they were Jiang Beidou and Bao Yu. They had suffered greatly at the hands of the Vast Sea Race. They had clearly been injured and unconscious, but in less than a day, their injuries had healed so much that they still had the energy to attend the banquet.
The Star Sea Sect and the Dragon Taming Sect were indeed first-rate powers of the Second Mountain and Sea. It seemed that their sects had many miraculous medicines.
"Jiang Beidou is one thing, but Bao Yu is not easy to deal with."
Gu Chen was deep in thought. Because he was not familiar with these people, it was not difficult for Ninja to take his place. These people would not be able to see anything wrong with Ninja's expression and actions.
But Bao Yu was different. He was the successor of the Dragon Taming Sect, and the Dragon Taming Sect had coveted the Hidden Dragon Tribe for a long time. Therefore, he was the most likely to see through Ninja.
In addition, he had fought with him before, and Ninja hated the Dragon Taming Sect. If the two of them fought again tonight, the chances of Ninja being exposed would be greatly increased.
Although Gu Chen had already prepared for a rainy day and had arranged for the Infinite Tyrannosaurus Rex to be by his side, that was only for the worst case scenario.
With his guard up, Gu Chen could not help but secretly observe Bao Yu to see if he had any intentions of causing trouble.
Fortunately, Bao Yu looked very calm. Although he did not communicate with Ninja, he did not provoke him either. It seemed that he was only here to accompany Zhang Hao.
A sudden commotion on the deck diverted Gu Chen's attention.
