Chapter 207

Gu Chen looked around in amazement and quickly withdrew his essence force.

"I didn't expect this small tree to be able to plunder the life essence of the surrounding creatures. This is too similar to the Desolate God Valley."

He realized how precious this item was. He had only injected a little essence force, and it had such an effect. If this item was refined into a magic treasure, how powerful would it be?

He was momentarily tempted. No wonder White Ape would take the risk to retrieve this item. This little guy's eyes were as sharp as ever.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

Seeing Gu Chen's tempted expression, White Ape protested a few times as if he was guarding against a thief and wanted to retrieve the small tree.

"Don't worry, I will leave this item to you. I will not snatch it from you. I will only keep it safe for you."

Gu Chen quickly put on a smile, just like a parent who found an excuse to take away his child's red packet during the New Year.

White Ape's eyes were filled with distrust. He extended a claw and made a hooking gesture with his finger.

"Alright."

Gu Chen understood what it meant. With a helpless look on his face, he handed the small tree back to it and threw it a storage ring.

White Ape caught the storage ring and quickly grasped the method of storing items. He put away the small tree for his own safekeeping and grinned foolishly.

"Sigh, the trust between a man and a monkey."

Gu Chen regretfully said. One man and one monkey walked down the mountain.

…

Qingzhou, Celestial Court branch!

At the Heavenly Gate, a strong light flashed. An assassin wearing a dark purple mask and a white robe with three golden patterns suddenly appeared.

The newcomer was Gu Chen. After returning to Youzhou, he had finally entered Qingzhou after many days of continuous travel.

Once he arrived in Qingzhou, he first went to the branch to understand the specific situation of this mission and to deal with some miscellaneous matters.

"Greetings, Quasi-Daozi."

A few Bronze Assassins who happened to be nearby saw him and quickly greeted him with curiosity in their eyes.

Quasi-Daozi were rare and even rarer than Golden Assassins. Therefore, Gu Chen immediately attracted a lot of attention.

In the face of greetings and attempts to curry favor, he only nodded slightly and went straight to the information pool without any hesitation.

"Quasi-Daozi Chen, you seem to be a bit late."

When he saw the contact for this mission in the information pool, the other party said.

"I was delayed on the road. I should be able to make it now, right? Tell me everything about Jiang Yige's disappearance. "

Gu Chen said indifferently.

The contact nodded and began to explain.

"It's been almost three months since Jiang Daozi went missing. It is said that he went to True Martial Academy to make a deal with someone, but no one knows what happened and he never came back. "

"The Celestial Court has sent out several groups of people to investigate, but unfortunately, they have found nothing."

"Isn't the True Martial Academy a place for cultivation? What was he going there to trade for? Who are you trading with? "

Gu Chen pondered.

"The True Martial Academy is a famous holy land of cultivation on the continent. The composition of the students there is very complicated. They often come from the major forces of the continent."

"These students are quite wealthy, and they have many rare items. They often gather together to trade in private, and it is said that Jiang Daozi went to participate in such activities."

"I just didn't expect that he would never appear again after that day."

The contact sighed and handed a stack of documents to Gu Chen.

"This is related to Jiang Daozi, and some information about the True Martial Academy. We have people in the True Martial Academy. If Chen Zhun wants to investigate, you can ask them for help. "

"If Chen Zhun has no other questions, then I will take my leave first."

The contact had been waiting for Gu Chen at the branch for a long time. Now that he had finally handed over the task to him, he was in a hurry to leave and busy himself.

"Thank you. You can go now."

Gu Chen said casually, and the contact left.

Gu Chen flipped through the documents and had a rough idea of the difficulty of this task.

There were too few clues. The previous assassins of the Celestial Court had not found any useful clues.

It was either because they were incompetent, or the person who made Jiang Yige disappear was too clever.

Gu Chen realized that this task could not be completed in a short time. He had to find a way to sneak into the True Martial Academy first, and then slowly plan.

"Fortunately, from the information, although there's something wrong with Jiang Yige, there's no evidence to prove that he's dead. I hope that it's just an accident."

Gu Chen was hopeful. Jiang Yige was the Daozi of the Celestial Court and an immortal-level powerhouse. If he disappeared and was killed, Gu Chen would be digging his own grave.

The Celestial Court would not look for him at all because the Daozi's death was a big deal. It was enough for the old Heavenly Emperor to be furious and kill everyone.

As one of the three underground organizations on the continent, the Celestial Court was no weaker than the government, two courts, three families, four sanctuaries, and five sacred sects of the Middle Earth Empire. Even the major organizations of the Middle Earth Empire did not dare to offend the Celestial Court because of the nature of the assassin organization.

Gu Chen had a plan to complete the task. He then put up a reward for information in the information pool.

"Information related to the Shen family of the Middle Earth Empire and Shen Yu Shu will be rewarded handsomely!"

From Ji Lanchu, Gu Chen guessed that the Shen family, the leader of the Confucian School of Jiuzhou, might be related to his mother. He decided to start from there and find his mother's whereabouts as soon as possible.

He could only feel at ease when he knew that his mother was safe and sound.

In order to find out the relevant information, he did not hesitate to pay a large number of Origin Crystals or merit points!

After putting up the reward, Gu Chen went straight to the Merit Square.

Apart from meeting the contact person today, Gu Chen had actually made an appointment with two assassins.

When he was at the Merit Square in the Heavenly Palace, he had put up a reward for a few types of treasures that he needed to improve his ability.

Today, two assassins came to trade with treasures.

In the Merit Square, as soon as Gu Chen entered, the two assassins who had been waiting for a long time looked at him.

The person who traded with them was the Quasi-Daozi, Chen Gu. Although they had never seen him before, they knew who he was when they saw his dark purple mask.

"Greetings, fellow Daoists. Have you brought the things? "

Gu Chen stepped forward and greeted them with a smile.

One of the two assassins was a golden assassin, while the other was a silver assassin. Seeing him greet them, the silver assassin responded enthusiastically, while the golden assassin nodded indifferently.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, this is the Whale Splitting Saber that you wanted. It is made of Kun Metal and was forged in the environment of First Essence Heavy Water. It weighs ten million kilograms.

"It is not easy to forge this saber. Rumor has it that in ancient times, it was used to deal with giant beasts like the White Whale. I only obtained it by chance. In terms of quality, it can definitely be ranked as an Earth Grade Saber!"

The silver assassin solemnly took out a crystal from his bosom. The crystal was branded with a floating and miniaturized array, and in the center of the array was a ferocious black saber.

"Black Fiend Flood Dragon Bow, White Phoenix Void Arrow — everything you want is here."

The golden-haired assassin also took out a bow and seven arrows as he spoke concisely.

Gu Chen looked at the two great treasures that he had put up a reward for a long time and couldn't help but smile.
