Chapter 245

The crimson eyes in the darkness could not help but squint.

"Looks like this kid has a grudge against me."

The bamboo hat man cackled strangely. "Milord, that's not all. According to my investigations, half a year ago, my Divine Creation Pavilion was destroyed by Qinglin. I'm afraid it had something to do with this kid."

"Oh? What do you mean? "

"This kid became a quasi-Daozi of the Celestial Court not long after the God Creation Pavilion was destroyed. It is said that he was promoted because of his great contribution. At that time, the only thing that could make a great contribution to the Celestial Court was probably my God Creation Pavilion. "

"In addition, there are rumors in the Celestial Court that Qinglin is his Dao Protector, and Qinglin was the main force that destroyed the God Creation Pavilion. The answer is self-evident."

Underworld God thought for a while, "When the God Creation Pavilion was destroyed, you lost a doppelganger, a large amount of research materials were taken away by the Celestial Court, and you also lost many organs. This matter left a deep impression on me."

"First it was the God Creation Pavilion, and now he destroyed all the halls in my Qingzhou. This kid seems to have a deep grudge against me. Have you investigated his background?"

Man with a bamboo hat shook his head, "This kid's background is mysterious. I only know that he has the Great Martial King Combat Physique. There is no other useful information."

"How does this kid compare to my grandson, Qingming?"

Huangfu Wuji pondered.

"The Great Martial King Combat Physique is a first-class physique, but the Qingming physique is better. In addition, this kid is already seventeen years old and is still stuck in the Nirvana Realm, unlike Qingming who was already a king at fifteen years old. Naturally, he is far inferior. "

"In that case, he is just a grasshopper that likes to jump around. He can't pose any threat to us."

Huangfu Wuji's tone became disapproving.

"You can say that."

Man with a bamboo hat haha sneered, "However, this kid destroyed my God Creation Pavilion and killed the sacrificial son that I carefully trained. I can't just let him go."

"This time, all the halls in Qingzhou were destroyed. The most aggrieved one is Underworld God Guard Jia Lan. He has already rushed back to Qingzhou to find this kid and tear him into pieces."

Huangfu Wuji nodded, "Alright, I'll leave this kid to Jia Lan. By the way, have you found the little princess of the imperial family? "

"The little princess's whereabouts are still unknown, but according to our deductions, she should be in the Eastern Barren Territory. We have already sent people to speed up the search. I believe that it is only a matter of time before we find her."

The Man with a bamboo hat replied.

"It's better to hurry up with this matter. When our plan officially starts, if Qing Ming and the little princess are already married, the resistance will be smaller."

Huangfu Wuji's eyes were cold.

"Don't worry, my lord. I've been planning this for many years.

The Man with a bamboo hat said with a smile. He seemed to have thought of something and said.

"By the way, Lord, there are rumors that the Little Princess eloped with someone. Qingming was furious when he heard about it. He has already gone to the Eastern Wasteland personally to kill the adulterer."

"Let him do as he pleases. This matter is most likely made up. If it's true, then it's better to let him kill him so as to avoid tarnishing the reputation of our Huangfu Clan."

"Yes, this subordinate understands."

"These are all small matters. You have to hurry up with your research. When we enter the Kunlun Ruins, I hope everything will be ready!"

…

Gu Chen stayed in the Celestial Court's branch for two days to recuperate and rest.

During this period of time, he became famous in the Dark World, but he knew nothing about it.

The Heavenly Palace's reward was issued a day ago. The Heavenly Emperor rewarded him with a large amount of merit points and a protective magic treasure.

The treasure was called the Life Exchange Pearl. It was said that it was more useful than any defensive magic treasure. Carrying it with him was equivalent to having an extra life.

The only flaw was that the pearl could only be used once. After that, it would shatter.

According to the Green Qilin Killing God, there were no more than ten people in the Celestial Court who could obtain this item from the Heavenly Emperor.

Gu Chen was naturally overjoyed to obtain this treasure, so he carried the Life Exchange Pearl with him.

After completing the mission in Qingzhou, Gu Chen regained his freedom. He could go anywhere in the world.

At that moment, the news that he had been waiting for came from the branch's intelligence pool.

When he first arrived in Qingzhou, Gu Chen had offered a bounty for information related to his mother and the Shen family. Now that some time had passed, there was finally some progress.

He went to the intelligence pool immediately. When he arrived, there was already a silver assassin waiting there.

"Quasi-Daoist Chen, I've heard a lot about you!"

The assassin who received the bounty said politely when he saw Gu Chen.

"You're too kind, fellow. I believe you've gathered all the information I want, right?"

Gu Chen smiled.

"Of course I've gathered all of it. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to disturb you."

The assassin handed over a stack of information. Gu Chen took it and casually browsed through it.

"The Shen family is a famous family in the Middle-Earth Empire. They've always had the reputation of being the number one Confucian family. However, there's only one person in the Shen family called Shen Yushu, so it was very easy to find out. "

The assassin smiled and continued his introduction.

"This Shen Yushu is the youngest daughter of the current head of the Shen family, Shen Xudong. It is said that she has been intelligent since she was a child and has a good memory. Her father has high hopes for her.

"She is a daughter of a noble family. Twenty years ago, she was a famous talented woman and beauty in the Nine States. She had many suitors, including disciples of major sects and descendants of holy lands.

"Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, this woman disappeared after she went to the Eastern Barren Territory 75 years ago and refused the marriage proposal of Luo Haicheng, the Sacred Son of the Nanhua Holy Land at that time. Her whereabouts are unknown.

"After this woman disappeared, the Shen family kept their mouths shut as if this woman had never existed."

Gu Chen was surprised to hear that. He didn't expect his mother to be the pearl of the Shen family. She was so beautiful when she was young, and even her suitors were so noble.

He had thought that his mother was at most the daughter of a big family in the Eastern Barren Territory. Now it seemed that his father was a winner in life for being able to catch up with his mother.

"Originally, Shen Yushu disappeared for 75 years, and everyone almost forgot that there was such a person in the Shen family. But a year ago, she suddenly returned to the Shen family and caused some waves.

"That's why I found information about her."

The assassin's words made Gu Chen's eyes narrow.

A year ago!

It seemed that after leaving Tiannan City, his mother and Little Qiu went to the Shen family.

Knowing that his mother was safe and sound, Gu Chen couldn't help but smile.

The weight in his heart was finally lifted.

"What happened at that time?" he asked hurriedly.

"Nothing much. The Shen family is a famous family. It seems that some people in the family were dissatisfied with Shen Yushu's return after 75 years, so they deliberately tested her with poems and Confucian classics. If she couldn't answer, they wouldn't let her go home.

"The Confucian family is interesting, but what happened?"

Gu Chen couldn't help but laugh. It was the first time he heard of such a thing.

"In the end, Shen Yushu was as talented as ever. She fought the Confucian scholars with her words and made the Shen family speechless. Then, she was allowed to go home."

Gu Chen was in a good mood. His mother was indeed his mother. She was amazing!

"There was also an interesting thing. When the Saint Lord of the South Flower Holy Land, Luo Haicheng, heard that Shen Yushu had returned, he didn't change his infatuation even after so many years had passed. He visited the Shen family many times and even wanted to ask for her hand in marriage.

"Unfortunately, Shen Yushu directly refused and refused to meet him."
