Chapter 337

The green ox bowed its head and kowtowed, calling Gu Chen its master. Gu Chen was stunned for a long time.

"Your master is already dead," Gu Chen replied coldly.

"Huangfu Qingming is not this old ox's master. This old ox only follows the Epoch Son in the prophecy. This old ox was mistaken earlier. Master is the true Epoch Son!"

The azure ox quickly explained. Without Gu Chen's permission, it did not even dare to stand up.

"Epoch Son? What is that? "

Gu Chen frowned heavily, not understanding the azure ox at all.

"The Epoch Son is born only once in every epoch. He is born with great Luck and bears the heavy responsibility of saving the universe. Master, you are the savior of the universe! "

The azure ox's reply made Gu Chen even more amused. He had never heard of the so-called epoch before. He did not know how many years it was. As for the universe, that was even more exaggerated. He had not even traveled through the entire Kunlun Continent.

This azure ox gave Xiao Chen the feeling that it was seriously ill. Such words of a savior were similar to those of evil sects like the Desolate God Church. However, in the prophecy of the Desolate God Church's people, Xiao Chen was a jinx.

Seeing Gu Chen's distrustful expression, the azure ox quickly explained. Gu Chen saw that it was not good for it to kneel, so he got it to stand up first.

After the azure ox stood up, it muttered something strange. In short, it was saying that Gu Chen was the Epoch Son and that it would follow him to the death.

"What do you think?"

Gu Chen looked at the White Ape, seeking its opinion.

The White Ape rolled its eyes at Gu Chen. Gu Chen immediately understood what it meant.

"Sorry, I cannot take you in, nor do I need you to follow me."

Gu Chen said coldly.

The azure ox immediately felt anxious. "Why is this so? Master, this old ox's Magic Skills are not comparable to …"

The azure ox looked at the White Ape. Originally, it wanted to say that the White Ape was not weaker than it. However, it swallowed its words in the end.

If this little white ape was the same one that it knew and was only pretending to be crazy in front of it, then it really wouldn't dare to say such words.

"You first acknowledged Huangfu Qingming as your master, and now that he's just been killed by me, you've come to rely on me. Do you think I'll trust you?"

Gu Chen said bluntly.

The green ox fell silent for a moment. It also knew that it had made a huge mistake. It was extremely difficult to obtain Gu Chen's trust.

"Let's take a step back and say that you didn't come to me with bad intentions. You can change masters at will because of your illusory luck. How do I know that you won't betray me when I meet someone with luck stronger than mine?"

Gu Chen said again. In his opinion, this green ox was indeed somewhat extraordinary, but he would not place such an unstable factor by his side.

The green ox was speechless, and his eyes revealed deep disappointment.

"Go. All living things are equal. You don't have to recognize anyone as your master. You are your own master."

Gu Chen tried to persuade him.

The green ox revealed a bitter smile. It knew that this really wasn't the right time to acknowledge him as its master.

"Old Ox understands. Old Ox will make up for my mistakes. One day, I'll make Master accept me."

After saying that, it left dejectedly. Gu Chen kept shaking his head as he watched.

From this green ox's tone, it was clear that it hadn't given up yet.

…

The Luoyang Martial Competition ended, and all sorts of forces left this bustling imperial capital one after another.

For many days, Gu Chen stayed at home to accompany his mother, and at the same time, he paid attention to the Huangfu Clan's movements.

Although the Huangfu Clan seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, a centipede would not fall down after dying. Moreover, they were far from dead. Huangfu Wuji still had a terrifying force like the Underworld God Palace in his hands.

Gu Chen had been on guard, worried that Huangfu Wuji would send a large number of assassins to assassinate him in a rage out of humiliation.

However, for a few days, surprisingly, not a single assassin from the Underworld God Palace appeared. Instead, they caught some madmen.

Some madmen barged into the mansion he lived in, wanting to harm him, but they were promptly taken down by the assassins of the Celestial Court.

Originally, Gu Chen treated them seriously and interrogated them personally. However, after the interrogation, he found out that these people were actually followers of the Desolate God Sect. Because they heard the Desolate God Sect's rumors that he was a jinx, they wanted to kill him and enlighten the masses.

This made Gu Chen very speechless, and he once again experienced how crazy the teachings of the Desolate God Sect were.

One had to know that the strongest among these madmen was only in the Nirvana Realm, and the weakest was only a mortal. Yet, they dared to assassinate him, a dignified Daoist of the Celestial Court. Courage could no longer be described as commendable.

Other than the farce caused by the followers of the Desolate God Sect, Gu Chen's days were very peaceful. It was as if the Huangfu Clan had completely forgotten about him, their enemy.

During this period, he made many new friends from various forces in the nine prefectures. Because his reputation as the Overlord was flourishing, they wanted to befriend him.

Gu Chen didn't refuse anyone. The Huangfu Clan hadn't been destroyed yet, so he needed to unite all the forces that he could use.

After nearly half a month, the Killing God Qing Lin appeared in front of him and bade him farewell.

The Killing God and many of the assassins of the Celestial Court had been waiting in the imperial capital for a long time, guarding against the Huangfu Clan. However, the Huangfu Clan seemed to be dispirited and extremely quiet.

According to the information that the Celestial Court received from various channels, the assassins of the Palace of the Underworld were acting as usual, and they didn't receive any abnormal news from the God of the Underworld.

Under such circumstances, the Killing God Qing Lin had his own matters to attend to, and the assassins of the Celestial Court couldn't stay in Luoyang all the time, so he had to leave.

"I'll be leaving now. Although the Huangfu Clan doesn't dare to touch you easily, the imperial capital is a place of trouble after all. It's best for you to leave as soon as possible. Huangfu Wuji isn't someone who will give up easily. The more he tolerates, the more you have to be on guard. "

Before the Killing God Qing Lin left, he warned Gu Chen in detail, and Gu Chen nodded seriously.

"Oh right, the Celestial Court received news that Huangfu Wuji's fourth son, Huangfu De, left the imperial capital with a large group of people two days ago. This is the biggest movement of the Huangfu Clan in recent days, and you might be interested in it."

The Killing God Qing Lin recalled and casually mentioned it.

"Huangfu De?"

Gu Chen's eyes couldn't help but narrow, and a cold glint flashed.

"Alright, I'm leaving."

The Killing God Qing Lin left immediately. He came suddenly and left in a hurry, and he was truly elusive.

After he left, Gu Chen's mind became active.

Huangfu De's departure from the imperial capital was a very good opportunity for him.

Three years ago, his father, Gu Tianming, left him and his mother, and it was this Huangfu De who led a large group of people to hunt him down.

After that, his father disappeared completely, and there was no news of him until now.

When Huangfu De was in the imperial capital, it was difficult for Gu Chen to make a move on him, but if he left, there would be a lot of possibilities.

This time, there might be hope to find out the truth behind his father's disappearance.

Gu Chen immediately decided to follow Huangfu De. It was time to leave the imperial capital.

However, before leaving the imperial capital, there were some people and matters that had to be settled. Gu Chen decided to first send assassins to investigate Huangfu De's situation, and then delay his departure for another two days.

Before leaving the imperial capital, the first thing Gu Chen needed to consider was how to settle his mother down.

Now that his mother had moved out of the Shen residence, he didn't feel at ease leaving her alone in the imperial capital, and it wasn't appropriate for her to move back to the Shen residence.
