Chapter 381

Because of today's chaos, the situation in the nine prefectures had become even more unstable. At this time, it was even more important for the Confucian School to support the Huangfu Clan.

They could pacify the hearts of the people. At this time, it was even more inappropriate for him to touch Shen Xudong …

"Imperial Preceptor Shen, We believe in your loyalty and patriotism. You should also know that if you have any dangerous thoughts, it might lead to the consequences. "

Huangfu Wuji said expressionlessly. His words were filled with threat.

Shen Xudong's eyes turned cold. He thought of what Huangfu Wuji had said to him after destroying the previous imperial family.

Thinking that if he didn't do everything well, the people of the world would suffer, he clenched his teeth. "Your Majesty, rest assured. This humble subject will do his best to assist you and maintain the stability of the court!"

Huangfu Wuji didn't feel any joy because of these words. He only ordered.

"We have something for you to do. We want to issue a bounty for that Gu Chen's head. Anyone who can bring his head to us will be rewarded with a hundred cities in the nine prefectures and be conferred the title of Marquis!"

"We want this bounty to be spread to every corner of the Middle Plains, Eastern Desolate, Western Desert, Southern Mountains, and Northern Plains. No matter where he is, he won't be able to escape!"

"As long as he is still alive, We will let him spend the rest of his life in pain and regret!"

Huangfu Wuji's face revealed a ferocious expression when he finished.

Shen Xudong was greatly shocked. Rewarding a hundred cities and conferring the title of Marquis. Such a huge bounty was unprecedented in the Kunlun Continent!

Once this bounty was issued, Gu Chen would definitely become the most wanted criminal in the entire continent, causing a huge uproar!

It seemed like Huangfu Wuji was truly enraged this time. He was going to use all means to kill Gu Chen!

"What? Do you have a problem? "

Huangfu Wuji asked coldly when he saw that Shen Xudong didn't reply.

"No, no problem! This subordinate will quickly gather the officials and spread this news to the world! "

Shen Xudong lowered his head and gritted his teeth.

He was very clear that this was Huangfu Wuji testing him. Whether it was for the Shen Clan or the common people, he had to do this!

Shen Xudong quickly left, and the HuangFu Clan's members couldn't help but feel excited when they saw the Patriarch passing down orders that were aimed at Gu Chen's vitals.

With such an inescapable net, no matter how powerful the Overlord was, he would not be able to be arrogant for long!

Things would become even more interesting when the Fortune Masters deduced the location of his mother!

His Huangfu Family would prove to the world that the imperial family couldn't be provoked!

…

Huangfu Wuji had been under great pressure for the entire day, and when he finally got some rest, he went to his study room in the depths of the mansion.

His expression was grave and stern. After entering the study, he pressed down on a hidden spot.

Ka ka —

There was actually a mechanism in the study. The floor moved, revealing a staircase that led to the mysterious underground palace.

Huangfu Wuji slowly walked down the stairs. This underground space was extremely complicated. Every wall was protected by restrictions that prevented anyone from spying on this place and also prevented the people inside from leaving.

This place was covered in dust. It was obvious that no one had come here for a long time.

Huangfu Wuji arrived at the deepest part of the underground palace with an indifferent expression. There was a dark and damp cell here.

In the cell, there was a person with disheveled hair. His sternum was locked down by two purplish gold shackles, making it hard for him to move.

He seemed to have been here for a very long time. The color of his robes was already indistinguishable, and one could only vaguely see dried blood stains. It was obvious that he had suffered extreme torture.

He sat there motionless and looked like a statue at first glance. However, Huangfu Wuji knew that he wouldn't die so easily.

"You haven't been here for a long time … What's wrong? Why do you look so tired?"

The person in the cell sensed Huangfu Wuji's arrival. He didn't raise his head and spoke with an aged and hoarse voice.

"We didn't say anything, but you can see that We aren't in a good state."

Huangfu Wuji looked at the person in the cell. His eyes were filled with anger, jealousy, and all sorts of other emotions. This kind of complicated gaze was something that he had never seen in front of others.

"We? It seems like you have already ascended to the throne … "

The person in the cell muttered and suddenly let out a disdainful smile. "He's just a mortal emperor, yet you took such a long time."

When Huangfu Wuji heard this, he was like a child being mocked by a giant. He couldn't control his anger. "What do you know!? In order to obtain all of this, We have put in so much effort! "

The person in the cell suddenly raised his head. From his messy hair, a pair of old eyes could be seen, and they were bright like candlelight.

"Since you have already realized the dream of your youth, why are you still so depressed? It seems like there is someone in the outside world that you are afraid of. "

"Whenever you are weak, this is your attitude."

After the old man finished speaking, he suddenly burst into laughter. This laughter affected the injury on his chest, causing him to cough repeatedly.

"Gu Yuan, you have been a cripple for a long time. You haven't improved in anything else over the past few decades, except for your sharp tongue!"

Huangfu Wuji sneered and retorted.

"You want to see me. Is the person that you are afraid of related to me?"

After the person in the cell finished coughing, he pondered deeply.

Huangfu Wuji didn't reply. The old man in the cell instantly understood.

"Is it my child?"

He muttered, and his expression was slightly agitated.

Huangfu Wuji snorted coldly. "You better not try to infuriate us. Don't forget the only reason why we allowed you to live!"

"We came here to tell you that the remnants of your Gu Clan will be completely wiped out by us in an extremely short period of time. After that, we will unify the entire continent very soon!"

"You don't have much time left. The next time we come here, you better be prepared to tell us about the matter outside the sea!"

After he finished speaking, Huangfu Wuji turned around and flicked his sleeves.

He was originally burdened with worries and wanted to come here to talk to the other party. He didn't expect that the other party would see through him with a single glance. This caused his mood to be extremely bad, and he didn't want to stay here any longer.

"That won't happen. Dragons give birth to dragons, and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes. You can't deal with him! A true dragon is destined to soar above the nine heavens. Thieves won't have a good ending! "

The person in the cell watched Huangfu Wuji leave and spoke loudly.

"Ridicule me all you want. You are but a failure. You can only rot in this gloomy underground palace until you die."

"It's impossible for us to lose. We are destined to rule the world and break through the limits of a celestial being …"

Huangfu Wuji's mocking voice came from afar, and he completely vanished from the underground palace.

After he left, the old man in the cell trembled. His hands grabbed the two chains that locked his chest. His emotions were surging because of the news that Huangfu Wuji had leaked.

"What exactly happened in the outside world? My child …"

"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer … It's about to grow out again …"
