Chapter 253

It was obvious that the person was after Gu Chen, and his ability was at least on immortal-level.

This made him feel as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

Gu Chen closed his eyes and thought carefully about who might want to attack him.

The person possessed Ling Xiaoxiao and followed him for a whole day, maybe even longer, but he did not notice.

This meant that the person was proficient in stealth.

The black mist gave him a creepy feeling as if it came from the underworld.

Therefore, the identity of the person was self-evident. At this critical moment, the person who dared to sneak into the True Martial Arts Academy to attack him must be an assassin from the Nether God Palace!

The cultivation level of immortal-level meant that the person was an Underworld Guard!

"This person is most likely the Underworld Guard Jia Lan that Zhu Yilun mentioned. Only he could discover my identity so quickly."

Gu Chen guessed. The Nether God Palace's Qingzhou Hall was managed by the Underworld Guard Jia Lan. Gu Chen had destroyed his lair and made him a commander without an army. It was no wonder that he hated him to the core.

"I'm afraid this is not good. Since this person could possess and sneak into the True Martial Arts Academy, it means that his real body has been waiting for me outside the academy."

Gu Chen realized that he had been careless. He did not expect that his identity as Administrator Chen would be exposed so easily.

"Fortunately, there are many experts in the True Martial Arts Academy, and they don't welcome people from the underworld. Jia Lan is afraid and does not dare to sneak in with his real body. Moreover, he was taught a lesson by the Demon King today, so he must be more cautious. "

"As long as I don't leave the True Martial Arts Academy and am careful, I don't have to be afraid of him."

Gu Chen sorted out his thoughts and calmed down.

It seemed that he had to improve his cultivation level as soon as possible to prevent the Underworld Guard from doing something desperate.

He did not plan to ask the Celestial Court for help. With such a top assassin secretly watching him, it would bring him great pressure, and pressure was the motivation for cultivation.

Because of what Sun Jinming said earlier, Shi Jian and the other two thought that the person who was secretly watching him was coming for him. They did not think that it was Gu Chen.

Gu Chen did not explain much as it was his own private matter.

Mu Ziyu brought Ling Xiaoxiao away to pacify her. She also carried out an investigation at the same time. Someone had snuck into the academy during the turbulent times in Qingzhou, so she had to take this matter seriously.

Ye Qingshuang also went back to cultivate, leaving Gu Chen and Shi Jian to go back together.

"Brother Chen, have you thought about the compensation for the Yao King?"

On the way, Shi Jian asked with a smile.

Along the way, Gu Chen had been thinking about how to deal with that Underworld God Guard, Jia Lan. Hearing this, he shook his head.

"The Demon King said that the compensation was casual, but the person who said it was casual was the least casual. I really don't know what kind of compensation would satisfy him."

"If that's the case, I have a suggestion," reminded Shi Jian, "Yao Monarchs love wine the most. Brother Chen, you can consider it from this perspective."

"Wine? Thank you for reminding me, Brother Shi. "

Gu Chen's eyes lit up. This was a good idea.

The two of them soon parted ways. Gu Chen returned to his residence. Thinking about being spied on today, he still felt a lingering fear.

"Little guy, from today onwards, don't run around, especially not leaving the True Martial Academy. Do you understand?"

He solemnly reminded White Ape. The little guy was naughty and mischievous. If he ran out of the True Martial Academy and was caught by the Underworld God Guard, it would be bad.

White Ape also realized the seriousness of the matter, so he nodded seriously.

"Alright then, you can play by yourself. I'm going to cultivate."

Gu Chen said and was about to meditate. However, he saw White Ape scratching the back of his head with an embarrassed look.

"Is there anything else?"

Gu Chen asked.

White Ape thought for a moment and suddenly revealed an extremely pained expression. He took out the colorful tree from his storage ring and reluctantly handed it to Gu Chen.

"Do you feel sorry for causing trouble for me today and want to compensate me?"

Gu Chen laughed involuntarily. It was not an exaggeration to say that this colorful little tree was a precious treasure. The white ape usually guarded it like a miser and did not let Gu Chen touch it. But today, he unexpectedly wanted to give it to Gu Chen.

It seemed that he also knew that he had caused a lot of trouble by stealing things.

White Ape nodded and then shook his head.

"Are you saying that you want me to use it to deal with that Underworld God Guard?"

Gu Chen understood and started thinking about the possibilities.

This colorful tree was indeed powerful. It could tyrannically deprive others of their Life Essence.

However, Gu Chen and White Ape did not understand it well enough. Their usage of it was very crude. It would be very difficult for it to be effective against an Underworld God Guard.

"Let me think about this. Since you are giving it to me, I won't stand on ceremony."

Gu Chen purposely took the small tree. White Ape grabbed it tightly. After struggling a few times, he let go with a pained expression.

When Gu Chen received the small tree and saw White Ape's expression, he could not help but laugh.

"Alright, I was just teasing you. You risked your life to obtain this small tree from Desolate God Valley. Naturally, it is yours.

"I am just studying it. I will return it to you in two days."

Gu Chen said. White Ape was instantly overjoyed. He danced with joy and left happily.

Looking at White Ape's departing figure, Gu Chen shook his head. He sat alone in the room and played with the small tree in his hand.

This small tree was completely colorful. Be it the trunk, the trunk, or the leaves, they were all the same. It looked like it was made of jade and was extraordinarily gorgeous.

Previously, Gu Chen had studied it. Apart from discovering that it could deprive others of their Life Essence, he did not discover anything else.

This time, there was an additional fruit covered in ripples on the small tree. It looked like a bell. It was the transformation of He Fangzheng's Sound Bone.

"The Extreme Dao Organ can change the physique of a living being. The power it contains is mysterious."

"Back when I was creating the Divine Pavilion, there were some records on the Man with a Bamboo Hat. Special physiques can be seen as a manifestation of the Heavenly Dao Law's power in this world. Because it is close to a certain law, the person who possesses it will have the corresponding ability."

"If this theory is true, then the small tree is actually able to dissolve the Extreme Dao Organ and use it for itself. It is truly not simple."

Gu Chen murmured.

As he thought about this, his finger touched the fruit.

"Dang …"

The fruit was touched, and a beautiful melody came out, lingering endlessly.

Gu Chen was inside, and his state of mind instantly became extremely clear. Some of the parts that he did not understand when he tried to cultivate the Rhythm of Killing Fist in the past few days were suddenly clear.

"This fruit can actually increase my understanding of rhythm!"

Gu Chen was pleasantly surprised. He did not expect that just by approaching this fruit, his understanding of rhythm would advance by leaps and bounds.

"The Man with a Bamboo Hat's theoretical research might be correct. Although the Sound Bone is gone, this fruit contains the power of the law related to sound."

Gu Chen murmured. The so-called power of the law was an extremely mysterious thing. With his current cultivation level, he could not touch it.

Perhaps only Heaven Tier experts, who had already become One with the World, could comprehend the true mystery of the law.

This fruit was not simple at all. Gu Chen suspected that if someone ate it, he or she might have great achievements in the field of music.

However, eating it would definitely be very risky. Perhaps one would not be able to withstand that kind of energy, and the person who ate it would first have their essence sucked dry by the small tree.

The white ape was smart and greedy. Even it did not dare to eat this fruit, so Gu Chen would not joke around with his life.

Now that he had used this fruit to further his understanding of rhythm, it was already a pleasant surprise.
