Chapter 303
Halfway to the shadowy area, his figure suddenly changed. He used the Three Revolutions Formless Technique and turned into an old man that no one recognized.
His divine sense had already spread out of the Shen residence, wanting to catch up to Huangfu De who had just left!
At this moment, a voice sounded.
"Give up on that idea, now is not the right time."
Killing God Qing Lin walked out from the darkness.
Gu Chen's eyes flickered. "If I can capture Huangfu De, I might be able to find out if my father is dead or alive. His cultivation is only at the middle stage of the Immortal Realm, I have the confidence to capture him. "
Killing God Qing Lin shook his head.
"I don't deny your judgment, that Huangfu De might not be your match. But this is the imperial capital, if you don't succeed in one strike, I'm afraid it will cause a huge disturbance. "
"That doesn't matter, the most important thing is that old servant beside Huangfu De, have you noticed? Let me tell you, that person is a Heaven Realm cultivator, the exclusive Tian Ming Guard of the Huangfu Family! "
Gu Chen couldn't help but frown. "Tian Ming Guard? I've only heard of Underworld God Guards, what's up with this Tian Ming Guard? "
Killing God Qing Lin explained patiently. "In the Celestial Court, there are Titled Killing Gods above the Golden Assassins, but in the Underworld God Palace, other than Huangfu Wuji, there are only Underworld God Guards, and Underworld God Guards are only at the same level as the Golden Assassins, don't you find it strange?"
"The so-called Tian Ming Guards are experts carefully selected by Huangfu Wuji from the Sky Mirror Mansion, the Underworld God Palace, and all over the continent. Every one of them has the strength of a Heaven Realm, which is also a Sage!"
"Because the Tian Ming Guards only belong to the Huangfu Family, they protect every important member of the Huangfu Family, equivalent to a guardian, so you don't know."
"In the Underworld God Palace, other than the Man with a Bamboo Hat, the Underworld God Guards like the Brahma Demon Jia Lan that you killed are a realm lower than the Tian Ming Guards. If you attack Huangfu De, it means that you have to fight a Sage! "
After Killing God Qing Lin explained, Gu Chen knew that he couldn't secretly capture Huangfu De.
Putting aside the fact that it was impossible for him to defeat a Sage with his cultivation level that had just entered the Immortal King Realm, even if he could, the commotion caused by a battle between Sages would be too great. How could the Huangfu Clan, which was in the Imperial Capital, not notice it?
"Our objective in coming to Luoyang this time is to investigate Huangfu Wuji's secrets. Secondly, we want to see if the royal family is worth cooperating with. As for the other matters, let's just bear with it for now."
"I understand how you feel. In the future, when the time is right, I will act for you."
After Killing God Green Qilin finished speaking, he looked at Gu Chen silently.
"I understand. Senior, I was too impulsive just now."
Gu Chen took a deep breath and dismissed the idea of killing Huangfu De.
The Green Qilin Killing God did not speak anymore and disappeared into the darkness.
Gu Chen returned to his residence. Because of the news he received tonight, he was a little uneasy.
He tried to enter a meditative state to cultivate, but he found that he was irritated, and the efficiency of his cultivation was lower than usual.
"What's going on …"
Gu Chen murmured. He had always been focused on his cultivation, and this kind of situation was very rare.
"Ji-Ji!"
White Ape called out a few times and even gestured with his hands.
"Are you talking about Ji Lanchu?"
Gu Chen's expression became a little uneasy.
White Ape had exposed his thoughts. The reason why he was feeling uneasy was because he found out that Ji Lanchu was going to marry Huangfu Qingming.
The memories of the two of them going through life and death together surfaced in Gu Chen's mind.
In terms of looks, Ji Lanchu was the most beautiful person he had ever seen.
And the feeling when he interacted with her made him feel the most comfortable.
The two of them went from being enemies to working together. In the end, they actually had a tacit understanding without any need for words.
Gu Chen, who only knew how to cultivate, had never been close to women of his age. And Ji Lanchu was the most special one.
"That lass would rather barge into Desolate God Valley than marry Huangfu Qingming. During this wedding, I'm afraid she will …"
Gu Chen couldn't help but clench his fists.
That night, Gu Chen didn't sleep at all.
…
Gu Chen stayed in the Shen mansion for three days and accompanied his mother during these three days.
During this period, Crown Prince Ji Zefang came over once and sat with Gu Chen for more than half a day. It was obvious that he wanted to befriend him.
The imperial family and the Huangfu family were about to become relatives, which made the Crown Prince very worried.
From him, Gu Chen inquired about Princess Lanchu's recent situation and learned that she was imprisoned in the palace. Before the wedding, countless experts were keeping a close watch on her.
It seemed that after she ran away from the wedding once, the Central Plains Emperor was very worried about her and would never allow any accidents to happen again.
Gu Chen realized that even if he wanted to help this old friend, he might not be able to turn the situation around.
There were many experts in the imperial family, and the Huangfu family was definitely watching. It was almost certain that Princess Lanchu would marry Huangfu Qingming.
Gu Chen could only try his best to get rid of the thoughts about Princess Lanchu. Compared to her, the upcoming meeting with Huangfu Wuji was more important!
During the Heavenly Worship Ceremony, he would definitely meet his enemy. He had waited for so long just for this day, and no mistakes could be allowed!
Gu Chen was preparing wholeheartedly. Before the ceremony, he had adjusted his essence, qi, and spirit to the peak state to prevent any accidents.
In the blink of an eye, it was the ninth day of the ninth month!
…
Today was the Heavenly Worship Ceremony of the Central Plains' imperial family. The tens of millions of people in Luoyang were all immersed in a festive atmosphere.
The ceremony would be held in the square of the royal capital. At that time, not only would hundreds of officials gather, but many big shots from the One House, Two Courtyard, Three Clans, Four Sacred Lands, and Five Sacred Sects would also be there to congratulate them.
Huge Water Mirror Stones had already been erected on the four sides of the royal capital's square. Through the activation of the array, the entire process of the Heavenly Worship Ceremony would be transmitted to all the major cities in the nine prefectures, allowing billions of people to witness the ceremony.
The people from all over the nine prefectures had already gathered in front of the Water Mirror Stones that could transmit images in real time, looking forward to seeing the big shots.
When the time came, the Imperial Dragon Guards and Imperial Guards that belonged to the imperial family marched into the square in an orderly manner from all four sides of the royal capital's square, sealing off the entire square.
On the cloud pillars at the side of the square, the imperial family's banners fluttered. Everything needed for the Heavenly Worship Ceremony had been prepared.
When the majestic sound of the drums rumbled, hundreds of officials and many guests swarmed into the square from the four gates.
Gu Chen followed behind Imperial Preceptor Shen. Dressed in the robes of the Celestial Court's Daoist, he walked out from the east gate and calmly stepped into the royal capital's square.
And at almost the same time, from the west gate, the Heavenly Mirror Manor's Manor Master, Huangfu Wuji, led Huangfu Qingming and the others into the square!
Gu Chen raised his head. His deep, pitch-black eyes pierced through the huge square and landed on the number one War God of the Central Plains!
Although Huangfu Wuji's age was similar to Shen Xudong's, he didn't look old at all. He looked like a middle-aged man in his early thirties.
He was tall and sturdy, had a dignified appearance, and had a pair of extremely unique red eyes. One look at them would cause one to be shocked, not daring to look at him directly.
However, Gu Chen stared at him coldly, and a monstrous hatred surged in his heart!
