Chapter 40

"How can that be? You and Little Qiu are both mortals. What if you get caught?"

Gu Chen said anxiously. He would never allow his mother to take the risk.

In his opinion, his mother wanted to sacrifice herself in exchange for his safe departure!

Pa!

Suddenly, a slap landed on Gu Chen's face. It wasn't heavy, but it woke Gu Chen up.

"There's no time for you to be reluctant. Have you forgotten the oath you just made? If you want to kill that despicable Huangfu Wuji, you can't be so indecisive! "

Shen Yu Shu's tone was stern.

Gu Chen was stunned and didn't know how to respond.

Elder Nan Gong sighed silently. He still couldn't understand why Gu Tianming and Shen Yu Shu were together in the past.

But after all these years of interaction, he realized that this seemingly gentle woman was actually an iron lady. She could see further than anyone else.

"Gu Chen, listen to your mother. The enemy's target is you and won't put your mother in their eyes. Moreover, your mother's family isn't simple. They won't touch her easily. "

Elder Nangong tried to persuade him.

"My mother's family?"

Gu Chen was surprised. He only knew that his mother was born in a famous family, but in order to be with his father, she left very early. He didn't know what the Shen family was like and had never seen his mother interact with the Shen family.

"Uncle, let's leave quickly. Every moment we stay here increases the danger!"

Shen Yushu said, not giving Gu Chen any time to think. Elder Nangong nodded and left the study, taking Gu Chen with him as he soared through the sky.

"Mother, you must live! This son won't let you down! "

Gu Chen was brought high up into the sky. He struggled and shouted at the top of his lungs.

He was afraid that this would be the last time he would see his mother.

But his mother's slap woke him up. This wasn't the time to be hesitant. He could only choose to listen to her arrangements!

Elder Nan Gong and Gu Chen turned into a rainbow and disappeared into the night sky. Chen Yu Shu stood in the same place for a long time until the rainbow completely disappeared. His eyes were filled with tears.

A mother would worry about her son's journey. The road ahead was bound to be an extremely dangerous one, so how could she possibly be willing to part with it?

"Madam, the luggage has been packed and the carriage is already waiting outside. Are we really going to leave Tian Nan City?"

At this moment, the maid, Little Qiu, entered the courtyard and said reluctantly.

The tears in Shen Yu Shu's eyes were quickly held back as he once again regained his calm and wise appearance.

"Have you prepared the firewood and oil I asked you to?"

Little Qiu nodded. "Everything is ready. According to Madam's instructions, every place in the house has been properly arranged."

"Alright then."

Taking a deep breath, Shen Yu Shu took out a match from his body and lit the fire.

Looking at the study in front of him and the pavilion where the family of three used to have fun, all the happy times flashed through his mind.

All of a sudden, she threw the fire igniter out!

The raging fire quickly ignited, and smoke billowed. All the buildings in the Gu Manor were set ablaze!

Little Qiu's mouth was wide open as he muttered. "Madam, don't you feel sad? If Young Master sees this, he will be very sad. "

Shen Yu Shu did not reply and turned around to leave. Outside the manor, a carriage filled with all kinds of ancient books was waiting for them.

She knew that the fire burning behind her was her home, but she could no longer go back.

"Where are we going, Madam?"

"To a place that doesn't welcome us."

… …

Elder Nangong took Gu Chen and flew as fast as lightning in the sky, leaving the cumulus clouds behind them.

"Tian Nan City's Gu Manor, my home, is gone … …"

Gu Chen looked down and muttered.

In the distance, Tian Nan City was filled with flames and smoke. That was the location of the Gu Manor.

He stared blankly for a long time. When he came back to his senses, there was no longer any confusion or sadness in his eyes. Instead, there was only determination.

He would not forget his vow. He would not forget what his mother had said to him tonight.

This blood feud must be avenged!

"Elder, where are we going?"

Only now did Gu Chen have the mind to ask where he should go next.

"To the Southern Mountains. There are Hundred Thousand Mountains there and the Fiend Race is very powerful there. It will be hard for Huangfu Wuji's influence to infiltrate. The Old Man has already made arrangements," Elder Nan Gong replied.

The Kunlun Continent could be roughly divided into five regions: East Desolate, West Desert, North Plains, South Mountains, and the Middle Earth Empire located in the center.

The Eastern Wilderness and the Southern Mountains were closer than the other regions, but the journey was long and arduous.

Gu Chen nodded. He believed in Elder Nan Gong and would go wherever he wanted to go.

At this moment, he calmed down and thought about how he should cultivate in the future so that he could take revenge as soon as possible.

First, he had to understand how strong the enemy was.

"Elder, what realm is that Huangfu Wuji's strength at?" Gu Chen asked.

Elder Nan Gong couldn't help but glance at him. "Knowing the opponent's realm doesn't mean much to you now, but I have to tell you how powerful he is."

He organized his words. "The Huangfu Clan that Huangfu Wuji belongs to is now a top-notch clan in the Middle Earth Empire, and he is in charge of the most violent organization in the Middle Earth Empire, the Heavenly Mirror Prefecture."

"The Heavenly Mirror Prefecture is the most influential organization in the Middle Earth Empire after the Middle Earth Empire's royal family. Huangfu Wuji has countless guests and his influence permeates the entire continent. Are you afraid of what the Old Man said? "

Gu Chen shook his head. He was completely fearless because he was already mentally prepared.

Elder Nan Gong saw that he was truly fearless and praised him in his heart. He even couldn't help but think of Gu Yuan.

When that guy was young, wasn't he also fearless?

"Although the Heavenly Mirror Prefecture is powerful, it is under the control of the Middle Earth Empire's royal family on the surface. Everyone knows their every move, so you don't have to worry."

"These years, the Huangfu Clan's influence has been growing, and they are already threatening the royal family. If he uses the Heavenly Mirror Prefecture's power to search for the Tyrannical Firmament Bone, the whole world will know, and he will make enemies everywhere. This is very disadvantageous for Huangfu Wuji. "

"What you really need to pay attention to and be wary of are the assassins from the Underworld God Palace!"

Elder Nan Gong's tone was solemn.

"Underworld God Palace?"

Gu Chen's expression changed slightly. He had heard of this organization before. It was a famous assassin organization in the Kunlun Continent. Together with the Celestial Court and the Netherworld Pavilion, they were known as the three major dark organizations of the continent.

Even in a small place like the Eastern Barren Feng Lin Prefecture, there were rumors of the Underworld God Palace's assassins. They came and went without a trace, killing entire clans at every turn.

"That's right. The leader of the Underworld God Palace has always been unknown to the world, but it is actually Huangfu Wuji. He single-handedly established this organization and used it to do some shady business. "

"The people who have been monitoring the Gu Clan all these years, including the ones who went after your father after he left, are all from the Underworld God Palace."

"If Huangfu Wuji wants to capture you, he will definitely use the Underworld God Palace's power. He will do anything!"

As Elder Nan Gong spoke, his eyelids twitched non-stop. His expression changed drastically as he looked to the west.

"Not good, they have already started to move!"
