Chapter 393

The Ghost King was right, the Ghost Emperor had talked so much with them after regaining consciousness and even told them about the secret of Huang Quan.

He seemed to have rejected so cleanly, but it revealed his true intentions.

The more cleanly he rejected at the beginning, the more anxious he would be, and the more space the Ghost Emperor would have to negotiate with him!

This was the art of negotiation!

Gu Chen didn't have much experience in negotiating with others. He placed too much importance on the alliance of the four races and almost fell into the Ghost Emperor's trap due to his anxiety.

"The alliance of the four races is of great importance. If I go around begging people, even if I succeed, the price I will have to pay will be unimaginable. The only thing that can unite the four races is profit. This Ghost Emperor is only the first target, I can't let him lead me by the nose! "

Gu Chen quickly regained his usual calmness and wisdom.

Even if the Ghost Emperor had lived for thirty thousand years, even if he was powerful, he still had his own motives. As long as he knew his true motives, there would be room for negotiation.

"What are you two discussing so sneakily? If there's nothing else, leave Huang Quan, this is not a place you should be in. "

The Ghost Emperor sensed the two were communicating telepathically, but he didn't know what they were talking about.

Gu Chen's eyes flashed and he bowed slightly. "Since Senior has clearly refused, we won't disturb you any further."

Saying so, he turned around and left.

The Ghost Emperor was stunned, and even the Ghost Monarch was surprised, but he quickly followed after them.

"Take care, I won't be sending you off!"

The Ghost Emperor coldly replied. He then flew into the red coffin in Huang Quan and laid down, looking like he was going to sleep.

Gu Chen didn't turn around and went back the way he came.

"Are we really leaving? Won't we try to persuade him? "

The Ghost King asked Gu Chen in surprise.

"You were right, the Ghost Emperor definitely has an ulterior motive, but he didn't say it. In this situation, if we let him lead us by the nose, the situation will be very disadvantageous. "

Gu Chen calmly said.

"That's what you said, but what if the Ghost Emperor really wants us to leave after seeing our performance?"

"Brother Ghost King, what do you think the Ghost Emperor can do to me with his cultivation? He's even beating around the bush for this motive. "Gu Chen's lips curled up.

"I can't think of anything." The Ghost King shook his head.

"The Ghost Emperor has sealed himself in the Ghost Ruins for so many years, so it can be seen that he no longer has any need for external objects. Furthermore, he previously said that he was facing the Heaven's Decay, and that he would sometimes be delirious because of this. It's obvious that this is the only thing he cares about now."

"But the Deva's Decay is restricted by heaven and earth. You can't help him, can you?" The Ghost King frowned.

The Ghost Emperor's biggest need was indeed related to the Heavenly Decay, but how could an immortal-stage cultivator help a cultivator at the peak of the Heavenly Being Stage?

"I don't know the reason either, but I'll know once I try. If it's really because of this, he'll definitely stop us. "

The two of them quickly left the underground Yellow Spring and returned to the Buddha Tower in the Ghastly Ruins.

"He didn't call us. He didn't seem to mind."

The Ghost King couldn't help but ask when he saw that the Ghost Monarch still hadn't reacted even after walking out of the Yellow Springs Ghost Monarch.

"Don't worry, we're not out of the Ghastly Ruins yet."

Although Gu Chen said so, he was a little uncertain in his heart.

The Ghost Emperor's request was merely a guess. If his guess was wrong, it would be even more difficult to convince the Ghost Emperor if he were to shamelessly return.

Gu Chen walked out of the Ghastly Ruins expressionlessly and deliberately slowed down his pace.

Three thousand feet, five hundred feet, a hundred feet.

As he got closer and closer to the Ghastly Ruins, Gu Chen could see Lu Yichen and the others waiting outside. However, the Ghost Emperor still did not respond, as if he really did not want to keep them!

"Could it be that I guessed wrong?"

Gu Chen secretly regretted it.

The Ghost King sighed. "Looks like it's over."

Just as the two of them were less than three meters away from the city, the sound of chains clanking came from behind them!

Gu Chen's spirit was lifted, and he suddenly turned around.

He saw the Ghost Emperor, who was lying in the coffin earlier, walking over with a somewhat unhappy expression.

Success!

Gu Chen and the Ghost King looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.

Since the Ghost Emperor had chased after them, it meant that there was a turning point!

"Kid, I'm not going to beat around the bush with you."

The Ghost Emperor looked coldly at Gu Chen. Although he was not in his horrifying mummified form, his gaze was still enough to send shivers down one's spine.

The Ghost Emperor was clearly in a bad mood after failing to raise the price.

"Senior, please speak frankly," Gu Chen said seriously.

The Ghost Emperor opened his arms and shook the chains that were wrapped around him. "Can you see it?"

"Senior, are you talking about these chains?" Gu Chen asked hesitantly.

"No, I'm talking about something else." The Ghost Emperor shook his head. "If you can see it, I can immediately come out and help you."

Gu Chen's expression changed. The Ghost Emperor had directly made a promise. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Gu Chen could not help but activate his Purple Extreme Eyes and spread out his divine sense to examine the Ghost Emperor in detail.

However, apart from the chains that were wrapped around the Ghost Emperor, he could not see anything else out of the ordinary.

White Ape also began to ponder, but he soon scratched his head, unable to find anything.

"If you can't see it, it means that you are still useless to me."

The Ghost Emperor was disappointed to see that Gu Chen had not discovered anything for a long time.

"What could there be? I can't see anything at all! "

The Ghost King could not find anything either. He could not help but suspect that the Ghost Emperor was deliberately making things difficult for them.

The Ghost Emperor looked at Gu Chen and did not say anything. His expression was uncertain, as if he was calculating in his heart.

"Forget it, I'll give you a chance."

The Ghost Emperor sighed in the end. He really did not have a better choice.

"You want me to help you deal with the Underworld God, but I am in an extremely bad state. Even if I can win, you won't be able to give me the reward I want in your current state.

"However, we can compromise. If you can really obtain the support of the various races of the continent as you planned, then you will have the confidence to fight against the Underworld God. If that is the case, the risk will be greatly reduced, and I might be able to help you.

"However, you owe me a favor. You owe me a very heavy favor, and you must remember it. When the day comes that you can see what I have on me, you must help me resolve this matter! "

The Ghost Emperor said solemnly, emphasizing that Gu Chen would owe him a heavy favor.

Gu Chen carefully pondered over these words, and a look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face.

The Ghost Emperor meant that as long as the other races did not have any problems, he could help. This was equivalent to agreeing!

And the condition of the exchange was that he would remember this favor!

"I promise Senior, I will remember this!"

Gu Chen replied seriously.

The Ghost King was extremely shocked. He did not expect things to take such a turn.

It seemed that Jiang Yu's deduction was correct. The Ghost Emperor was indeed treating Gu Chen differently!

"Then you can go! It will not be easy to unite the Monster Race, Stone Race, and Demon Race. I am only making an empty promise. Whether you can fulfill it or not will depend on your own ability. "
