Chapter 241
Lanyang Manor, one of the Qingzhou Halls of the Underworld God Palace.
This place was a small island on a lake. It was surrounded by open water for dozens of miles, and the view was excellent.
That night, a group of Underworld soldiers patrolled along the beach of the island as usual.
The surface of the lake was sparkling, and it was exceptionally beautiful in the quiet summer night.
A gust of wind blew, and white fog gradually appeared on the lake.
"That's strange. Why is there fog all of a sudden?"
Several Underworld soldiers were shocked. The white fog rolled and soon sealed off the entire lake.
"Something's not right!"
The few of them were on guard, and they listened attentively while their vision was blocked.
Other than the sound of waves hitting the shore, there seemed to be other movements on the lake.
"Look, over there!"
Soon, someone pointed to a corner of the thick white fog with a stern expression.
There, a figure was walking over on the water!
His footsteps seemed slow, but with every step, he got closer to the island.
In just a few steps, his feet had already stepped onto the beach.
At this moment, everyone finally saw his appearance clearly.
He was dressed in a white robe and wore a purple mask.
The strangest thing was that there was a white ape standing on his shoulder.
"An assassin from the Celestial Court? How dare you trespass into the Underworld God Palace's hall! "
The leading Underworld soldier mustered up his courage and shouted loudly.
The figure wearing the purple mask only glanced at him, and a demonic purple light flashed.
"How many people are on the island? Are they all here? Are any of them out? "
The white-robed figure asked calmly.
"There are a total of 924 people on the island. No one should be out."
The Underworld soldier looked dazed as he answered dully.
"Why are you telling him this?"
The expressions of his companions changed.
"Slash!"
The dazed Underworld soldier suddenly raised the saber in his hand and stabbed it into the chest of his companion!
"You …"
The person who was stabbed was caught off guard and fell to the ground.
Then, the white-robed figure's eyes flashed with purple light, and the group of Underworld soldiers started killing each other.
Meanwhile, he entered the island with the white ape on his shoulder.
After a while, he came out and left the island.
The white fog on the lake gradually dissipated, and dark red blood flowed out of the island, dyeing the stones on the beach and the lake red.
…
Salt Flat Castle, one of the Qingzhou Halls of the Netherworld God Palace.
This castle was located in the middle of towering mountains and precipitous ridges. The mountains were high and dangerous, and there were spiritual birds flying above the castle all day long, guarding this place.
Boom! Swoosh!
Tonight, the spirit birds in the sky above the fortress were hit by many rays of light and fell from the sky.
Bang!
A black saber slashed open the entrance of the fortress, and a white-robed figure slowly walked in.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! "
The people in Salt Flat Castle were thrown into chaos as numerous assassins from the Netherworld Deity Palace rushed over.
Whoosh! Bang!
The white-robed figure was as fast as lightning, killing in and out of the fortress, so fast that no one could catch a glimpse of his figure.
Wherever he passed, assassins would fall to the ground, blood spilling out of their mouths. With a casual slash of the black saber in his hand, the tower would be split into two.
"So powerful! He's definitely not his match! "
One of the Netherworld generals was crippled in a single exchange. He saw with his own eyes that his comrade had been smashed into a bloody pulp by that black saber, and he immediately lost all will to fight.
He sneaked around to the back of the fortress and wanted to escape with some other killers.
"We have to escape this place and report this to our superiors as soon as possible! The Celestial Court actually dared to start a massacre against the Netherworld Deity Palace! "
Behind the fortress was a precipitous cliff. Once they reached here, they had to rise into the sky.
"Roar!"
A terrifying howl came from the forest. Everyone saw that in the night sky, there was a huge creature blocking the sky that could allow them to escape.
All they could see was a pair of huge, lantern-like golden eyes.
"Don't … please, please let me go."
That massive creature stretched out a palm covered in white hair, covering the sky and earth. Everyone was so scared that their legs turned to jelly.
Bang!
In the end, the top of the cliff was splattered with blood. At the bottom of the cliff, there were countless pieces of corpses.
Screams and cries could be heard continuously from within Salt Flat Castle. Flames raged everywhere, and blood flowed like a river.
When all the sounds finally stopped, the white-robed figure arrived at the top of the cliff and met up with the giant ape.
"The sky is about to brighten. There's only one place left."
Gu Chen's face was filled with exhaustion. After fighting continuously, he had expended a lot of energy.
Hum —
The giant ape shrank and turned into a small white ape. It jumped onto Gu Chen's shoulder and rubbed its face tiredly.
"You've gigantified too many times tonight. Leave the last place to me. Don't attack again."
Gu Chen said dotingly. He took out elixirs that could speed up recovery from his storage ring. He ate one and handed the rest to the white ape.
The white ape ate all the elixirs like beans and patted its chest, indicating that it was still okay.
"I know you're powerful."
Gu Chen laughed involuntarily and soared into the sky again.
The Netherworld Deity Palace's last hall in Qingzhou was not in a high mountain or a river. Instead, it was a mystic realm.
To enter the mystic realm, the people inside had to agree to open a spatial passage.
When Gu Chen was about to reach his destination, he used the Three Revolutions Phaseless Technique.
Hum —
In an instant, his appearance changed drastically. He actually looked like Zhu Yilun.
Whether it was his expression, tone, or even the attribute of the essence energy in his body, there was no difference.
He changed into a loose robe. The white ape burrowed into his sleeves and arrived at the entrance of the mystic realm.
"Halt! Who are you?"
The guard at the entrance saw Gu Chen and stopped him.
Gu Chen's expression did not change. He took out a Netherworld Deity Palace token to show his identity.
"Lord Zhu, please!"
The guard hurriedly said after learning that the other party was a Netherworld General who had been lurking in the Celestial Court for many years.
He quickly contacted the people inside the mystic realm and opened a spatial passage.
Gu Chen was solemnly welcomed in.
"Old Zhu, why did you suddenly come back? Did something happen at True Martial Academy? "
A Netherworld General came over after hearing the news, his face full of concern.
Zhu Yilun was the Netherworld Deity Palace's spy in the Celestial Court. In order to ensure that his identity was not exposed, he would not come to the hall unless it was a special occasion.
"Something big did happen."
Gu Chen imitated Zhu Yilun's tone and nodded solemnly. "Gather everyone in the mystic realm first. I have something to announce!"
"What is it?"
The Netherworld General's expression involuntarily turned cold.
"Don't ask so much first. This matter is urgent. We have already obtained Lord Jia Lan's permission. Quickly gather everyone!"
Gu Chen said anxiously.
The Netherworld General thought that something big had happened and hurriedly gathered everyone. Meanwhile, Gu Chen found a place to sit down and rest.
A moment later, all the Netherworld Deity Palace assassins in the mystic realm had gathered.
There were close to a thousand of them, and all of them were gathered in the plaza. It looked very imposing.
"Old Zhu, can you tell us what's going on? Is Lord Jia Lan preparing to attack some faction? "
The Netherworld General asked.
Gu Chen stood up at this moment. He glanced coldly at the thousand assassins present and said indifferently, "Nothing much.
I just want to inform you that all the halls of the Netherworld Deity Palace in Qingzhou will cease to exist from today onwards. "
"Ah?"
Everyone was baffled by what they heard.
At this moment, Gu Chen's aura suddenly changed!
A moment ago, he was still as calm as a mountain. In the next moment, his aura became berserk.
Boom —
An extremely powerful and domineering aura spread from his body and swept across the entire plaza!
It was as if a primordial ferocious beast had crashed into them. Many of the Netherworld Deity Palace assassins' eyes turned white as they foamed at the mouth.
Plop. Plop. Plop.
Thousands of assassins collapsed in droves!
