Chapter 239

In the Qingzhou branch, as soon as Gu Chen ended his conversation with the Celestial Thearch, he immediately went to the top floor of the Falling Jade Building.

"Dang —"

He rang a large bell on the top floor. The clear sound of the bell spread throughout the entire mystic realm.

For a moment, all the assassins of the Celestial Court in the branch stopped what they were doing and looked serious.

"The death knell has rung, the Celestial Court has set out!"

A silver-ranked assassin murmured. He broke through the door of the cultivation room and rushed to the square immediately.

"Something big is about to happen. We'll talk about it later. Let's gather first."

The assassins who were doing business in the Merit and Virtue Market stopped what they were doing and went out in groups of twos and threes.

Not long after, almost five hundred assassins of the Celestial Court had gathered on the square paved with white marble!

At this time, a figure wearing a purple mask and a white robe descended from the sky.

"Greetings, Quasi-Daoist!"

Seeing this, the assassins were shocked and saluted.

The death knell had rung, the Celestial Court had set out, and the leader was a Quasi-Daoist!

"Which Quasi-Daoist is this? Do you know? "

"There's a white monkey standing on his shoulder. I don't think any Quasi-Daoist looks like that."

The crowd whispered. Because Gu Chen was wearing a mask and he was a newly promoted Quasi-Daoist, many people did not recognize him.

"Silence! This is Chen Gu, Quasi-Daoist Chen. Today, he will lead us to annihilate all the branches of the Underworld God Palace in Qingzhou! "

A silver-ranked assassin beside Gu Chen berated. The assassins all quieted down.

"Annihilate the branches of the Underworld God Palace?"

Many people gasped. No wonder the death knell had rung. This was indeed a big deal!

"After so many years, is the Celestial Court finally going to war with the Underworld God Palace?"

"Wait, did I hear it wrong? They want to annihilate all the branches of the Underworld God Palace in Qingzhou? "

The crowd was boiling with excitement. Some were excited, some were restless.

"Silence."

At this time, Gu Chen said calmly. His voice was not loud, but when the crowd heard it, they immediately quietened down.

"The sky is about to brighten. From morning until nightfall, I want you to adjust your condition as much as possible."

"I will tell you the details of each hall that we will attack. When night falls, I hope that you will all be prepared. We will not stop and destroy all eleven halls of the Nether God Palace in one go."

"Eleven? All destroyed in one night? Fellow Daoist Chen, you're not mistaken, are you? "

An assassin gulped and asked cautiously.

Gu Chen glanced at him coldly. "It's a little rushed, but I've already calculated it. These 66 halls happen to be on the same line, and some of them are even very close to each other. If we don't procrastinate, we can make it."

Many of the assassins looked at each other. Was this the crux of the problem?

The problem wasn't time, but that they only had five hundred people. Not to mention one night, even if they had a few more days, it would still be very difficult to annihilate the forces of the Nether God Palace at the eleven halls!

"Didn't you hear what Chen Zhun said? What kind of expression is that? It wasn't easy to get rid of those sons of b * tches from the Nether God Palace. Hurry up and get ready! "

A sturdy silver assassin with a loud voice stood up and said loudly, interrupting everyone's self-doubt.

Gu Chen couldn't help but look at him and then said to everyone.

"Before sunset, we will gather in the square again. In addition, in order to prevent the news from leaking, from now on, no one is allowed to leave the mystic realm. "

Some of the assassins smiled bitterly when they heard this.

Perhaps it was not only to prevent the news from leaking, but also to make some timid people dispel the idea of escaping. If anyone dared to leave the mystic realm without permission, they would most likely die.

Everyone was an assassin who lived on the edge of a knife. Previously, they had been hesitant because they felt that this battle was too difficult to win. But since there was no way out, they all acted and prepared for battle.

Gu Chen stood guard at the gate of the Heavenly Gate, sitting there and silently adjusting his state.

He had already signed a military order, so there was no turning back for tonight's battle.

He knew that it was extremely difficult to destroy the Nether God Palace's eleven halls in one night, but he had no other choice.

If he relaxed and extended the time to a few days, the risk of the news being leaked would greatly increase, and it would be very difficult for him to complete the mission.

He already knew the strength of the Nether God Palace's forces at the eleven halls. With the help of 055 experienced assassins, he would create a miracle tonight!

He closed his eyes and circulated the Nature's Heavenly Star Technique, concentrating on adjusting his state.

Beside him, White Ape also sat down and imitated him to meditate and listen.

Even the little fellow could feel the storm in Gu Chen's heart, so it abandoned all playfulness.

The man and the ape sat cross-legged and meditated until sunset. Many killers were ready to go and gathered around them.

When everyone was present, Gu Chen slowly stood up, and White Ape jumped onto his shoulder.

"Let's go!"

…

Azure Province, Lone Soul Ridge, five miles away from White Elephant City.

There was a natural Illusory Formation in this ridge, and within the Illusory Formation were fortresses. This was one of the halls of the Nether God Palace.

Tonight, the moon was bright, and the stars were sparse. A cool summer breeze blew gently.

Many Nether Soldiers and Nether Generals of the Nether God Palace were gathered together. Some were drinking and eating meat, while others were busy with other matters.

No one noticed that outside the Illusory Formation, in the sky, a large shadow was rapidly moving toward them.

"Quasi-Daoist Chen, I've found the target!"

The burly silver assassin who had spoken earlier said excitedly. His name was Pang Yong.

Squeak! Squeak!

The white ape on Gu Chen's shoulder was eager to try and jump down.

"Wait, little fellow, there's a limit to the number of times you can gigantify, right? Let me do the first one. "

Gu Chen immediately stopped White Ape.

Gu Chen's greatest reliance in eliminating the Hall of the Netherworld God Palace tonight was not the five hundred assassins by his side, but the white ape.

After gigantifying, White Ape's combat strength was terrifying. He had once torn apart the entire Blood Refinement City.

That was before he entered the World of Nine Suns and Nine Moons. Over the past six months, White Ape's strength had become even more terrifying.

However, gigantification consumed a lot of essence, qi, and spirit. Thus, Gu Chen did not intend to use it right from the start. It would be best to let it fight when they encountered a more troublesome Hall.

Gu Chen stepped out of the crowd. His Purple Extreme Eyes shone brightly, and he immediately saw through the natural Illusory Formation below. He understood the situation of the soldiers in the Hall very clearly.

There were not many Nether God Palace assassins in the first Hall. There were only about two hundred of them, and it was the weakest among the eleven Halls.

After confirming the situation of the troops, Gu Chen flipped his hand and took out the Black Demon Flood Dragon Bow and the White Phoenix Void Arrow.

He did not have time to waste on these small Halls. Time was precious, and he had to race against time.

He held the fierce-looking longbow in his hand, and it was as if a flood dragon had awakened. He gently pulled the bowstring, and a dragon's roar rang out.

He nocked the White Phoenix Void Arrow on the bowstring. Divine light flowed on the arrow, and a phoenix's cry echoed.

"Good treasure!"

When the assassins saw this, their spirits lifted, and they exclaimed.

Gu Chen pulled the bowstring to the shape of a full moon, and the White Phoenix Void Arrow locked onto the Nether God Palace's Hall.

Then, his fingers loosened.

Whoosh, whoosh —

With a thunderous momentum, a snow-white shadow of a phoenix appeared in the night sky. It soared through the nine heavens, stunning the entire night sky!
