Chapter 228

"Who is it?"

"Demon King Sun Jinming."

Hearing this, Ye Qingshuang's expression changed. "How could it be that Demon King? You're not talking nonsense, are you?"

Zhu Yilun's expression immediately turned serious. "This is a serious matter. How could I dare to speak carelessly?"

"Who is that Sun Jinming?"

Gu Chen found the name familiar. He seemed to have heard of it in the past few days.

"Quasi-Daoist Chen, Demon King Sun Jinming belongs to the Nanling Demon Clan. He has the bloodline of the Sacred Ape and is a Heavenly King of the Inner Yard. He is so strong that he was listed on the Nine States Ranking a year ago. "

Zhu Yilun's face was full of fear. "It is said that Demon King Sun Jinming appeared on the night that Jiang Daozi attended the gathering at the Breeze Lodge. And everyone knows that the Monkey King has never been interested in this kind of gathering. "

"The timing of his appearance is very sensitive, and with Jiang Daozi's strength, Quasi-Daozi Chen, who do you think can threaten him other than Sun Jinming, who is also on the Nine States' ranking list?"

Gu Chen could not help but fall into deep thought. He had just locked onto He Fangzheng, and he did not expect Sun Jinming to appear.

Moreover, He Fangzheng was still on the Hidden Dragon Ranking. He was confident that he could deal with him. As for Sun Jinming, since he was on the ranking and had the powerful bloodline of the Demon Clan, he was probably not his match.

He couldn't help but look at Ye Qingshuang. She hadn't mentioned Sun Jinming at all in her speech.

"Jiang Yige and Sun Jinming have never had anything to do with each other. Besides, the Nanling Demon Clan is very xenophobic. He doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Underworld God Palace."

Ye Qingshuang frowned.

"Miss Ye's thinking is wrong. Who says that this matter must have anything to do with the Underworld God Palace?"

Zhu Yilun was shocked. "Everyone knows that Monkey King Sun Jinming has a fiery temper and loves to fight. Maybe he deliberately caused trouble for Jiang Daozi that night."

"There are too many things that could happen. We have to consider all possibilities."

Ye Qingshuang could not help but be speechless.

"Okay, I understand. Let's call it a day."

Gu Chen asked Zhu Yilun a few more things, but found nothing. He left Chuyun Tower with Ye Qingshuang.

"What do you plan on doing? Are you not going to investigate He Fangzheng? No matter what that Zhu guy says, I still feel that He Fangzheng is more suspicious than Sun Jinming. "

As soon as they left the Chuyun Restaurant, Ye Qingshuang couldn't help but ask.

"Since both of them are suspects, we naturally have to investigate both of them."

"He Fangzheng has already observed him today. I plan on understanding Sun Jinming's situation before making a judgment."

Gu Chen's eyes flickered as he replied.

"If it's He Fangzheng, we can still finish him off if we join forces. But if it's Sun Jinming, even ten of us combined might not be his match. Therefore, I will not meddle in this matter. "

Ye Qingshuang said coldly.

"Join forces? I've never planned to fight anyone with you. "

Gu Chen could not help but shake his head.

In his heart, Ye Qingshuang had always been untrustworthy. Today, both her and Zhu Yilun's stories were different, so he didn't know who was telling the truth. Perhaps both were telling the truth and both were telling the truth.

There was no one he could trust in this academy. If he wanted to take action against someone, he definitely wouldn't choose to team up.

"We have an agreement, and I've already done what I promised you. You should let me go and tell me about the Underworld God Palace."

Ye Qingshuang stopped at a place not far from Chuyun Restaurant, unwilling to go any further.

She was afraid that once she lost her value, Gu Chen would kill her. In a crowded place, the other party would still have some reservations.

"Alright, I'll let you go now."

Gu Chen flicked his finger, and his elemental energy struck Ye Qingshuang's acupoints. Her sealed cultivation was instantly restored, and she heaved a sigh of relief.

"However, I can't give you the information about the Underworld God Palace for now. If I still need your help, you'd better come whenever I call. "

He turned around and walked back alone in the direction of the library.

Ye Qingshuang did not retort. She watched as Gu Chen left and muttered to herself.

"Why does this person give me an uncomfortable sense of familiarity …"

On the way back to the library, Gu Chen's mind was heavy.

Originally, because of Ye Qingshuang's words, there was a breakthrough in Jiang Yige's disappearance.

However, he did not expect that Zhu Yilun would have new information at this time, confirming that Sun Jinming was related to the matter. He Fangzheng's suspicions were greatly reduced.

"In the past three months, the Celestial Court did not have a single clue about the disappearance. Now that I'm here, Zhu Yilun has found a clue. Is it a coincidence, or is he plotting something else?

"A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea. Ye Qingshuang's words may not be completely trustworthy."

He slowly sorted out his thoughts and analyzed the various clues he had noticed in the past two days. He had a rough idea of what was going on.

"Little guy with the surname Chen!"

When he was about to reach the library, a hoarse voice interrupted Gu Chen's thoughts.

Raising his head, Gu Chen realized that there were a few people from the Stone Clan standing at the door. Shi Jian was among them, and the one who had called out to him was one of his clansmen.

"Brother Shi, why are you here?"

Gu Chen was surprised and walked forward.

"Brat, you still dare to ask such a question? Where have you been? How dare you make my young master wait for so long! "

The people from the Stone Clan were still hot-tempered, but Shi Jian spoke gently.

"Brother Chen, why did you leave without saying anything last night? Last night, there was a fight between cultivators not far from the gathering under the blood moon. I couldn't find Brother Chen and was worried that something had happened to you, so I came to take a look. "

Gu Chen suddenly understood and felt a little apologetic.

Shi Jian had brought him to the gathering under the blood moon, but he had run off without saying anything because he was busy catching Ye Qingshuang. It was really impolite.

Last night's fight was caused by him, but Shi Jian didn't know about it. Today, he even came to show his concern.

Whether or not he had other motives, this friendship was much stronger than his own.

"I've made Brother Shi worry. Something happened last night and I didn't have time to say anything."

Gu Chen explained and led Shi Jian into the library. They found a place to drink tea and sat down, chatting for a while.

The two chatted for a long time. Although this young master of the Stone Clan had the rough appearance of the Stone Clan, Gu Chen found that he was well-read and had an extraordinary way of talking.

He would occasionally mention some of his viewpoints, which would enlighten Gu Chen and make him secretly exclaim in admiration.

It was said that the Stone Clan had a fiery temper and lower intelligence than humans, but this young master was an exception.

"I wonder if Brother Shi knows anything about the Monster King Sun Jinming?"

As the two chatted, Gu Chen's heart stirred and he asked.

Shi Jian pondered for a moment, "In True Martial Academy, the Western Desert Stone Clan and the Southern Mountains Monster Clan are the minority. In order not to be bullied by humans, our two clans are in contact."

"That Monster King Sun Jinming is the leader of the Southern Mountains Monster Clan. I met him once when I first entered True Martial Academy. Why is Brother Chen interested in him?"
