Chapter 297

After chatting with Xu Huahua and the others for a while and familiarizing himself with the other two Daoists, Gu Chen left.

Two days later, White Ape also ended his state of cultivation, and there were only a few days left before the Grand Sacrificial Ceremony of the Central Plains Royal Family.

"It's time to set off for Luoyang."

Gu Chen murmured. His heart had flown to the Imperial Capital of the Nine Prefectures, where he would see his mother, whom he had not seen for a long time, and where he would meet his enemy for the first time.

He had been looking forward to this day for too long, silently thinking about it countless times in his heart.

After bidding farewell to the old Sky Emperor, under the protection of the Green Qilin Killing God, Gu Chen left the Sky Palace with White Ape.

The Imperial Capital, Luoyang, was about to rise!

…

Eastern Wilderness, Feng Lin Mansion, South Sky City.

Today, a tall girl came to the gates of South Sky City.

The young girl was wearing a loose robe, and the hood almost covered her face. Only a pair of bright eyes could occasionally be seen, and it made people feel that she was breathtakingly beautiful.

She looked travel-worn, but when she entered the city, her tired expression relaxed a little.

The streets of South Sky City were bustling with people. Apart from the hawkers, more people were talking about the spectacle of stars appearing in daylight a few days ago.

The girl was in a hurry and did not listen to these words.

"Screech!"

The cry of a bird came from the air. In a mountain city like South Sky City, it was normal to hear the cries of birds and beasts. The girl's eyes lit up when she heard it.

She quickly came to an empty space in the city, and saw a bird land in the air and stop in front of her.

She took out a small bottle from under its wings, and the bottle contained a note.

The girl opened the note and read it with anticipation.

"Junior Sister Lanchu, I have received your letter, but I have been busy recently, so I have not replied until now. I hope you can forgive me."

"A lot of things have happened in the academy recently. Chen Gu, whom you recommended, has really caused a lot of trouble …"

The entire letter was almost full of complaints, complaining about a guy named Chen Gu who was too good at causing trouble.

The young girl laughed involuntarily. "Senior Sister, you've really suffered. However, Chen Gu is indeed unexpected. So the stars in daytime a few days ago had something to do with him … "

The young girl looked at the contents of the letter and imagined her old friend challenging a King Tier one day. She couldn't help but feel a sense of regret when he became a King Tier.

"It's a pity that I can't witness such an exciting moment with my own eyes."

She read the letter a few more times before putting it away in her storage ring with satisfaction. The corners of her mouth curled into a joyful smile.

She stayed in the city and ate some food. Just as she was about to continue on her way, she sensed a faint aura following her.

"I've been discovered again?"

Because of a letter, the pretty face of the young girl who was in a good mood immediately sank. These days, the number of experts chasing after her was increasing, pressuring her to the point where she was almost out of breath.

The Imperial Court and the Heavenly Mirror Palace had engaged the help of the Fated Masters to continuously divine her location. Wherever she went, she would be discovered very quickly.

As usual, the girl changed her appearance and hurriedly fled the city.

However, she wasn't so lucky this time. Not long after she left the city, a few unknown cultivators blocked her way.

"Your Highness, please return with us. Lord Qingming has personally come to the Eastern Wilderness to look for you."

The cultivator said politely.

"Is he here?"

Ji Lanchu instantly felt that something was amiss. With the other party's methods, it was only a matter of time before they found her.

"I won't go back with you. Tell Huangfu Qingming that it's impossible for him to marry me even in his next life! "

Immediately after, a battle ensued. Ji Lanchu had the upper hand, but in the end, she let those people escape.

Seeing those cultivators escape and return to report to Huangfu Qingming, Ji Lanchu knew that the other party would personally come looking for her soon.

"Huangfu Qingming, so what if you're a prodigy of your generation? Since you've followed me to the Eastern Wilderness this time, I'll make you fall here! "

"As long as you're dead, the superficial peace between the Huangfu Clan and the Imperial Clan will be torn into pieces, and my Imperial Father will see the truth clearly!"

A resolute look flashed past Ji Lanchu's beautiful eyes. She decided to do an extremely risky thing. If she succeeded, she might be able to trap and kill Huangfu Qingming in the Eastern Wilderness.

And once he died, that absurd marriage agreement would naturally fall apart!

A day later, Ji Lanchu was already far away from that nameless small city and arrived at a primeval forest.

This place was the famous Forbidden Forest in the Eastern Wilderness, and in the depths of the forest, there was the legendary Ghastly Ruins that could only be entered but never returned!

Along the way, she purposely let her pursuers escape and left some clues along the way. She believed that Huangfu Qingming already knew her whereabouts.

Her plan was to lure him into the legendary Ghastly Ruins and make use of this notorious and ominous place to trap and kill him!

She wasn't afraid that Huangfu Qingming wouldn't fall for it. This person was extremely conceited, and if he saw her entering the Ghastly Ruins, he would definitely dare to barge in.

Ji Lanchu planned everything and braved the danger to arrive at the periphery of the Ghastly Ruins. It was already late at night now.

In the distance, the ancient city was mottled, and there were layers upon layers of ghostly figures in the city.

When the moon in the sky reached this place, it had also turned into a miserable green color.

Ji Lanchu slightly looked towards the city of death and saw the patrolling Yin Soldiers, winged wandering corpses, and green-armored skeletons.

The most shocking thing was that she saw a red-clothed little girl holding a candied haw. She seemed to have noticed the gaze from outside the city and revealed a strange smile at her.

This scared Ji Lanchu so much that her beautiful face turned pale. But for her plan, she had no choice but to take the risk.

She executed the Clone Technique. Her main body used a secret treasure to hide outside the Ghastly Ruins, and her clone went to a conspicuous place to wait for the enemy to come knocking.

At midnight, a long rainbow tore through the sky and arrived.

The young man in the lead was wearing a blue robe and had a peerless beauty. He was riding on a strange green bull.

The person who came was the prodigy of a generation, Huangfu Qingming. The green bull he was riding on had an extraordinary bloodline. Huangfu Qingming met it by chance after coming to the Eastern Wilderness, and it was willing to serve him as its master.

He was such a person. With luck on him, he would have fortuitous encounters wherever he went.

"Your Highness, I'm here to bring you home."

Huangfu Qingming saw Ji Lanchu outside the Ghastly Ruins with a glance and said indifferently.

"Huangfu Qingming, it's impossible for me to go back with you!"

Ji Lanchu's clone had a cold expression. "Rather than going back with you, I'd rather enter the Ghastly Ruins. If I enter here, do you dare to follow me?"

After she finished speaking, she purposely revealed a disdainful expression. She knew that with Huangfu Qingming's pride, he would definitely be angry.

"Your Highness, entering the Ghastly Ruins is a narrow escape. Those who can come out alive will also be infected with inauspicious things and die mysteriously. Why do you have to take things too hard?"

Huangfu Qingming shook his head.

"If you really want to marry me, you would even dare to go through a mountain of daggers and a sea of flames. What is a mere Ghastly Ruins to you? If you don't dare to enter, then your title as a prodigy of a generation is nothing but a joke! "

After Ji Lanchu finished speaking, her clone ran into the Ghastly Ruins in one go, and there was no time to stop her!

"Your Highness, you mustn't!"

The expressions of the group of cultivators behind Huangfu Qingming changed greatly. Especially the members of the imperial family, their hearts sank to the bottom.

"Since you want to see me enter the Ghastly Ruins, then why don't I give it a try?"

Huangfu Qingming sneered, and he actually rode the green bull and flew unhurriedly into the Ghastly Ruins.

"Young Master, you mustn't do this. The Ghastly Ruins can only be entered, but it's impossible to leave!"

The cultivators of the Huangfu Clan instantly became anxious, but they were unable to stop Huangfu Qingming.

His figure vanished within the Ghastly Ruins, and a chilly wind blew and drowned him by the ghostly shadows that covered the sky.

The sound of iron chains rattling came from the ancient city, and it seemed like some peerless ferocious spirit was alarmed!
