Chapter 2049

Chu Meixin's speed was extremely fast. After leaving the auction hall, she went straight to the seaside. Gu Chen turned into a shadow and hid behind her.

As he chased after Chu Meixin, he spread out his divine sense and paid attention to the direction of the three auction halls.

The chaos in the second hall would alert all the masters in a very short time, especially the Great Saints in the Tianzi hall.

However, cultivators who had lost their minds were not that easy to control. Even if they were controlled, it would take time to interrogate them and find out the truth.

This period of time was enough for Chu Meixin to return the Stone of Greed to the person in the dark. Because of the chaos at the scene, the truth of Chu Meixin's temporary disappearance might not even be noticed.

The other party had a good plan. They destroyed the Ghost Parade auction with zero losses!

Chu Meixin only took away the Stone of Greed, not the other auction items in the auction hall. This further proved that the person in the dark was purely here for revenge and not for benefits.

As Gu Chen was thinking, his body and appearance slowly changed. Finally, he turned into a skinny old man. He hid in the shadows and followed Chu Meixin.

After a while, Chu Meixin crossed the sea and arrived at a small island. There was already a person waiting at the edge of the island.

It was an ugly man with green hair. He took the Stone of Greed from Chu Meixin's hand and inserted it into a walking stick. Then, he showed a satisfied smile.

"Thank you for your hard work. Your mission is completed. Now, I will give you one last mission. Pick up your sword and cut your own throat. "

The man said to Chu Meixin. His voice was evil. Hearing this, Chu Meixin nodded absentmindedly. She unsheathed her sword and was about to kill herself.

"Burning the bridge after crossing the river, isn't that too unkind?"

Suddenly, an old voice echoed in Chu Meixin's ears. Her face showed a struggling expression and the sword in her hand also stopped moving.

The ugly man who had been smiling suddenly changed his expression. His eyes revealed a bloodthirsty light as he looked at the shore.

A skinny old man had appeared out of nowhere, causing him to inexplicably feel a strong pressure.

"The son of the Demon Saint?"

Gu Chen looked at the ugly face in front of him and thought of the rumor Hai Xuan had told him.

"I am not. Who are you? The person from the Ghost Parade? "

The ugly man's face twitched when he heard the words "Ferocious Demon Saint".

Gu Chen observed him and sighed.

"I was wondering why Madam Du didn't want to investigate the person who ruined the banquet. After confirming your identity, I finally understand."

"The Evil Demon Saint's son is the true owner of the Ghost Parade. Madam Du didn't get her position properly. If she caught you in front of everyone and you accidentally told the truth, it would be very bad for her. That's why she chose to keep the peace."

"However, she clearly underestimated your strength, as well as your determination to avenge your father. Today, it can be said that she has suffered a terrible setback."

The ugly man listened to Gu Chen's words and scanned the surroundings with his Spiritual Awareness. After confirming that there were no hidden enemies, he relaxed a lot.

"Hahaha, revenge for your father? What a cliché. If the Demon Saint were to hear this in the underworld, he would probably find it hilarious, right? "

The ugly man let out a strange laugh. It was hard to tell whether he was mocking Gu Chen or mocking himself.

Gu Chen frowned. "Isn't it?"

"Of course not! My life's biggest wish is to kill the Evil Demon Saint with my own hands! "

Gu Chen's eyes flickered. He didn't understand what the other party meant. The other party's mental state seemed to have some problems.

"If that's the case, you should be very grateful that Madam Du helped you kill the Evil Demon Saint. Why did you attack the Ghost Parade auction?" Gu Chen asked.

"Grateful? Hahaha … "

The ugly man laughed loudly. His eyes were filled with hatred.

"That woman killed the Evil Demon Saint before me. My wish will never come true. I can't wait to tear her into pieces!"

Gu Chen went silent. It seemed that the Evil Demon Saint's son hated his father very much. He remembered what Hai Xuan said. The Evil Demon Saint didn't acknowledge him because of his son's ugly appearance.

"You are not from the Ghost Parade! Being able to find me is also a skill. What do you want to do? "

The ugly man guessed Gu Chen's identity through the conversation and asked curiously.

Gu Chen glanced at Chu Meixin. "Leave her to me first."

"Hahaha. Don't tell me you want to be a hero saving the beauty? But your request is a bit too much. She is an excellent hostage. "

The ugly man rolled his eyes. He raised his walking stick and pressed it on Chu Meixin's shoulder.

Chu Meixin, who was showing signs of sobriety, suddenly lost her focus. Her sword fell to the ground. She stood there motionlessly.

"Hostage? She is just an ordinary disciple of the Sword Pavilion. What value can she have? "Gu Chen said calmly.

"If that's the case, why do you want to save her?" The ugly man didn't believe him.

"I want to give you some benefits. But you have to show some sincerity. You don't have what I want. She can make up the numbers. "Gu Chen said indifferently.

The ugly man was confused. He didn't know what the person in front of him meant.

"Speak clearly. Otherwise, I will kill her!"

"You can kill her. But you won't be able to walk out of this island alive."

Gu Chen took a step forward. It was just one step. The ugly man's expression became extremely grave.

He was born with an abnormally sharp mind. So, he could sense danger that others couldn't.

This was the feeling the person in front of him gave him. Under that old skin, there seemed to be some kind of power that made him tremble.

This power made him not dare to act rashly. The other party wasn't bragging. If he wanted to kill him, he probably had some confidence!

"Or, you can choose to let her go. We can sit down and have a good chat."

Gu Chen gave him a choice. Then, he raised his left hand slightly and looked at the other party calmly.

The ugly man laughed dryly. He pushed the walking stick in his hand. Chu Meixin floated towards Gu Chen.

Gu Chen waved his sleeves and put Chu Meixin into his body space. Then, he pointed at the beach in front of him.

"Sit down and talk."

The two of them sat down. There was a distance of ten feet between them.

"What's your name?" Gu Chen asked.

"The surname my father gave me was abandoned. As for my mother, she died when I was born. I don't even know her surname. So, I don't have a surname. As for my name, there's no need to mention it. You can just call me Ugly Emperor. "

The ugly man replied. His voice was young, much younger than his appearance.

"The King of Ugliness? Is this self-mockery? "Gu Chen said.

"Whatever you think. It's your turn. Your name. "

The Ugly Emperor stared at Gu Chen carefully, guessing if this old appearance and voice were real. He bet that it was fake. However, Gu Chen's disguise technique was flawless. He couldn't see through it.

"What's the point of randomly making up a name?"

Gu Chen couldn't be bothered to lie.

"You are quite honest. However, you aren't even willing to make up a name. What do you want to talk to me about? "The Ugly Emperor laughed coldly.

"Although you succeeded today, the auction has been prepared for so long. It's impossible for it to be canceled just because of you. There's a high chance that the auction will continue tomorrow. The same trick won't work again. Are you going to stop? "

The Ugly Emperor squinted his eyes. He felt that this person was getting more and more interesting. "Why don't you guess?"

"I'm not guessing. If you are going to stop, I will leave now."

Gu Chen was expressionless. The Ugly Emperor couldn't see anything. He said with a sinister smile, "I will continue playing this game until the candle burns out."

Gu Chen wasn't surprised. Not only was there something wrong with the Ugly Emperor's mental state, but he also noticed that the Ugly Emperor's body was in a bad state.

It didn't look like the body of a Saint Realm cultivator. Gu Chen didn't know if it was because of his body, or if he didn't want to stop, which was why his body was in such a state.

But all in all, this was a person with no tomorrow. His life could wither at any moment.

"Since that's the case, then let's shine brighter at the end of my life."

Gu Chen flipped his hand and took out the three heart-shaped stones of fear, anger, and madness.

The two heart-shaped stones on the Ugly Emperor's walking stick, which symbolized greed and joy, shone brightly. They resonated with the three in Gu Chen's hand and formed a strange mental energy magnetic field!

The Ugly Emperor's expression changed, and his breathing became hurried.

"I didn't think that I would be able to see five heart-shaped stones gathered together before I die."

In just a short while, the Ugly Emperor calmed down and looked deeply at Gu Chen.

He wasn't affected by the mental energy magnetic field formed by the five heart-shaped stones. His will was much firmer than Gu Chen had expected.

Gu Chen casually tossed the three heart-shaped stones over. The Ugly Emperor caught them and his body trembled.

"Hehe, what a weird person. What do you want to use me for?"

The Ugly Emperor laughed. He knew that there was no free lunch in the world.

"Do whatever you want. Just cause a ruckus." Gu Chen said calmly.

"Then you will fish in troubled waters? Isn't it better for you to tell me your plan and let me cooperate with you? "

The Ugly Emperor touched his chin and suddenly understood. He patted his head.

"Oh, you know that even if I can successfully use the power of the five heart-shaped stones, I will definitely lose my mind. At that time, all the plans will be meaningless. Instead, it will increase the risk of you being exposed. So, you should just let me do what I want.

"You can casually give me the opportunity to use a Great Dao Technique without even blinking. How important is your plan? I'm really curious. "

Gu Chen stood up and patted off the sand on his body.

"It's meaningless for you to know too much. I'm using you, and you're using me. Just maintain this relationship."

He turned around and walked towards the sea. He couldn't stay here for too long, and it was the same for the Ugly Emperor. The search network in Binhai City would probably be activated soon.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll suddenly cherish my life and run away with the five heart-shaped stones?"

Looking at Gu Chen's back view, the Ugly Emperor mocked. Gu Chen didn't reply and quickly disappeared into the sea.

"Hehehe …"

The Ugly Emperor laughed out loud. His laughter was filled with desolation.

Gu Chen left the Ugly Emperor and flew above the sea alone. He muttered softly.

"What a pity … If not for that state, he might have become my subordinate."
