Chapter 327

"Oh? If that's the case, then I'll go see him later. "

Emperor Yang Hong immediately showed his concern for his most important official.

Shen Xudong frowned slightly when he saw this scene.

Huangfu Wuji was the God of War. What a joke, how could he be ill?

It was even more impossible that he didn't want to be there because of the rumors yesterday. He wasn't someone with such a fragile heart.

There was most likely something fishy going on.

After a whole day of competition, Emperor Yang Hong went to the Huangfu Clan as expected.

All these years, he had always attached great importance to this God of War and viewed him as his right-hand man. Now that he was ill, he naturally had to show his benevolent side.

After returning from the Huangfu Residence, Emperor Yang Hong flew into a rage and immediately summoned the Imperial Preceptor and the Crown Prince.

"This martial arts competition is for the imperial family to choose a son-in-law, not for the Celestial Court's Daozi to stir up trouble!"

"There are rumors everywhere in the city and a large number of assassins from the Celestial Court have infiltrated Luo Yang. What are they trying to do? Do they think that the Nine Provinces are not my territory? "

Emperor Yang Hong seemed to have heard something from Huangfu Wuji that made him angry at Gu Chen. Many officials looked at each other.

"Before the finals, find a reason to eliminate that Gu Chen!"

Emperor Yang Hong quickly gave the order.

"Imperial Father, please reconsider!"

Crown Prince Ji Zefang's expression changed when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, nothing can be accomplished without rules. Eliminating that Gu Chen hastily isn't a good idea, right?"

Shen Xudong also hesitated.

As for the other officials, they all maintained their silence as their eyes flickered.

From this, they could smell the scent of scheming and plotting against each other. It was likely that there was an intense struggle between a few major forces in this matter …

Those people weren't people that ordinary officials like them could afford to offend. The best choice was to remain silent.

"I've made up my mind! Imperial Preceptor Shen, the results of the five competition zones will be out tomorrow. I'll have to trouble you to find a suitable excuse to eliminate that Gu Chen. Don't let him spoil the atmosphere of the martial arts competition! "

Emperor Yang Hong flicked his sleeves and left, leaving the Crown Prince with an ugly expression.

Crown Prince Ji Zefang immediately left the palace and went to Gu Chen's residence!

For the entire day, Gu Chen did not go to watch the competition. Instead, he quietly cultivated in his residence, adjusting his condition and preparing for the finals.

When the Crown Prince visited and informed him that the Emperor intended to eliminate him from the finals, Gu Chen's expression sank.

The Crown Prince had the intention to cooperate with the Celestial Court, and Gu Chen had already told him the truth a few days ago. Both parties had officially joined hands to suppress the HuangFu Family.

Everything was planned by Gu Chen, and participating in the finals to fight against Huangfu Qingming was the most important part.

Never would he have imagined that Huangfu Wuji would actually be cautious to this extent, not even giving him the chance to participate in the finals, and instigating Emperor Yang Hong to eliminate him!

This matter had deviated from his plan, causing him to be in a terrible mood.

When he had his men expose the dark side of the HuangFu Clan to the public, this joust for a spouse had already changed. It had become a game between the Celestial Court and the HuangFu Clan.

Now that he was defeated before the battle had even begun, it was a huge blow to him!

"Kid, what's wrong? Did you encounter a problem?"

When Gu Chen and the Crown Prince were discussing what to do and were at their wits' end, the Green Qilin Asura appeared.

Gu Chen nodded his head solemnly.

"The Old Celestial Emperor had already predicted that things wouldn't go so smoothly, so he had sent external help for you."

The Green Qilin Asura smiled.

"External help? Who is it? "

Gu Chen was stunned.

"Come out."

As soon as the Green Qilin Asura finished speaking, a figure walked into the courtyard.

This person was wearing a strange mask with black and white stripes on it, and he was wearing the robe of a Daoist of the Celestial Court!

"Jiang Yige?"

Gu Chen looked at the other party in shock. This person was clearly a Daoist of the Celestial Court, and he had seen the other two Daoists before, except for the missing Jiang Yige!

"Brother Gu, I've heard a lot about you. I heard that you spent a lot of effort to find me, and you even helped me vent my anger on the Underworld God Palace. Thank you so much. "

Jiang Yige took the initiative to extend his hand.

"Why are you here? Didn't you go missing?"

Gu Chen was surprised.

"I went missing previously because I was ambushed by the Underworld God Guard, Jia Lan, and needed to recuperate. After that, I found an important clue about the Underworld God Palace and followed it, which was why I lost contact. "

Jiang Yige explained.

Gu Chen wasn't too interested in his encounter, so he went straight to the point. "How are you going to help me in my current situation?"

Jiang Yige smiled. "Emperor Yang Hong didn't want you to participate because he was afraid that the Celestial Court and the Huangfu Clan would fight, which would harm his royal family's interests."

When the Crown Prince saw Jiang Yige being so direct, he looked slightly embarrassed.

"The solution is actually very simple. Brother Gu, you've already done half of it."

Jiang Yige seemed to be implying something.

"Brother Jiang, what do you mean?" Gu Chen frowned.

"Brother Gu, you spread the Huangfu Clan's secret everywhere to isolate the Huangfu Clan, right? We'll build on this foundation and get the major forces to support you in the war! "

Gu Chen pondered. "The information I spread might make the major forces wary of the Huangfu Clan, but it won't make them stand on my side and offend the Huangfu Clan."

Gu Chen's information came from many sources. Some came from the Celestial Court, and some came from Ji Lanchu. It was because this information was true that the Huangfu Clan's image took a huge hit.

However, that was all. At most, the major forces would be wary of the Huangfu Clan, but they wouldn't stand on his side.

If they were willing to stand on his side, it might be possible to uproot the Huangfu Clan!

"I have even more important information here. It's enough to make the major forces want to kill the Huangfu Clan!"

Jiang Yige's words were shocking.

"What kind of information?" Gu Chen was shocked.

"The Underworld God Palace and Acheron Tower are working together in the dark. Their relationship isn't ordinary!"

When Jiang Yige spoke, Gu Chen and the Crown Prince's expressions changed.

The Underworld God Palace and Acheron Tower were one of the three major dark forces on the continent, and their strength was about the same. If these two organizations worked together, it would be equivalent to ruling over two-thirds of the dark world!

If that was really the case, how powerful would Huangfu Wuji's forces be?

This explosive news was enough to make all the major forces in the Land of the Nine Prefectures feel the same way!

"Is this true? Do you have any proof? "

Gu Chen took a deep breath.

"I've been investigating the cases of people with special physiques going missing in the Land, and I discovered this during my investigation.

"The Underworld God Palace and Acheron Tower have been working together to capture people with special physiques. Even the elite disciples of some major sects are no exception.
