Chapter 421

When Gu Chen woke up, he was already in a small and narrow cage.

Outside the cage, snow filled the sky, and his entire body was shackled by heavy shackles. The cage stood alone on the high platform, and in the distance, many Northern Plains citizens were pointing at him.

He could not mobilize a trace of yuan qi in his dantian, and his body was limp and powerless. Even his divine sense could not spread out.

At this time, he was like a mortal, his hair was messy, and all his belongings had been taken away, leaving him wearing only a thin prison gown.

Whether it was the storage ring, the Beast Raising Bag with the white ape in it, or even the Dragon Phoenix Heart Connecting Bracelet that Lanchu had given him, they were all gone.

In this life, Gu Chen had never been in such a bad state.

His eyes were unfocused, and because he was poisoned, it took a long time for him to recover.

"Brother Gu!"

"Gu Daozi!"

The voices of Zhao Rou, Ghost King, and the others came from not far away. Gu Chen's eyes regained focus with great difficulty, and he looked at them.

They were all tied up and detained in a large cage under the high platform.

"Are you … all right?"

Gu Chen said weakly, gradually recalling everything that had happened.

"We are all right, the despicable Nalan family betrayed us!"

"Many people from Underworld God Palace have arrived. This time, we were careless, and I'm afraid we cannot escape!"

When everyone saw that Gu Chen could still speak, they all breathed a sigh of relief, but then their expressions became sorrowful and heavy.

After Gu Chen was poisoned and captured, Ghost King and the others were quickly surrounded by Nalan Su and his team.

They had used Gu Chen's life to threaten everyone. Coupled with the fact that the Nether God Palace had sent five Dark Heaven Guards, they had no chance of winning. Thus, they could only surrender and be thrown into the cage along with Gu Chen.

According to the discussions of the citizens around the square, Nalan family had already informed all the major cities in Northern Plains that they would publicly execute Gu Chen and them in five days. At that time, all the influential forces in the Northern Region would come.

Right now, all of them were trapped in a cage, and they were in the distant Northern Region. Even if they wanted to look for reinforcements, it would be too late. So, it could be said that they would definitely die five days from now!

Everyone had gone to many regions and worked hard. They had finally succeeded in forming an alliance with all the races, but they hadn't expected such a change to occur!

"Brother Gu, I think I saw Elder Nangong."

Zhao Rou said to Gu Chen with sadness in her eyes.

Gu Chen was silent. Of course, he remembered who he saw before he fainted.

He didn't expect that Elder Nangong wasn't dead, but had been tricked by that damned Man with a bamboo hat!

Elder Nan Gong's current state was far too similar to that of Lu Yichen back then. It was likely that he had also lost his memories and had become a hired thug for the Infernal God Palace.

In the past, Elder Nangong's cultivation base was already unfathomable. Now, however, it was even more impressive. It was likely that he had reached the Sky Human Realm.

In particular, the poison he had given himself was too fierce. Now, he had lost all his abilities and all his treasures had been taken away. He was already at the end of his rope!

Everyone was trapped in a cage, and the atmosphere was unusually heavy and oppressive.

They had been deliberately detained in the square by the Nalan Clan, so that they could be seen by the people of Frostless City as criminals.

The name of the Overlord had long spread to the Northern Plains, and the sky-high bounty on his head had caused an uproar. Thus, when the news came out, not only did the people of Frostless City come to watch, but many cultivators from other parts of the Northern Plains also came to witness the tragic end of the legendary Overlord.

However, these people could only watch from the edge of the square. The whole square was set up with layers of killing formations to prevent Gu Chen's group from escaping or someone from breaking into the prison.

Outside, the cultivators of the Infernal God Palace and the Nalan Clan kept an even tighter watch, not allowing anything to go wrong.

They had received orders from the new emperor of the Middle Plains to punish the Overlord as a warning to the rest of the world, so they naturally had to put up a good show.

"Is that the Overlord? Rumor has it that he's a devil who kills without batting an eyelid! "

"He looks too young, and so do his companions. They don't look like vicious people."

"What do you know? This person is the most vicious criminal in the Kunlun Continent. Now that he has fallen into the hands of the Nalan Clan, it can be said that the human race of the Northern Plains has gained face."

There was a lot of discussion among the spectators around the square. Every day, people came to watch a good show, and the topics of conversation were mostly the same.

On the first day that Gu Chen woke up, he tried all kinds of methods to break free from the shackles on his body and to detoxify the poison, but to no avail.

Gradually, he accepted the situation and gradually calmed down.

Whether it was the matter of Elder Nangong or the lives of his companions, being anxious would not solve anything.

Before his death, Gu Chen chose to turn a blind eye to the various evil deeds that the Nalan Clan had spread about him in the Northern Plains.

He began to close his eyes and sat motionless in the cage for several days.

He tried to do everything he could at the moment. No matter how the sun rose and the moon set, or how the wind and snow filled the sky, he would not move.

It had to be said that the Underworld God Palace and the Nalan Clan had made a big fuss about him this time, leaving him no chance at all.

Not only was there a killing formation set up in the plaza, but there were also cages and shackles that completely trapped him. Every two days, Elder Nan Gong would reapply the poison in his body to prevent his physique from being too strong and unknowingly detoxifying the poison.

"Elder Nangong, do you still remember the Wuchen Sect? Do you still remember the Feng Lin Mansion? "

Elder Nangong muttered when he appeared in front of Gu Chen.

"Hmph, cut the crap. In the last few days, just pray that you will suffer less torture on the day of the execution."

Elder Nangong was expressionless, unmoved by Gu Chen's words.

He seemed to have forgotten his memories even more thoroughly than Lu Yichen. He had already become a cold-blooded and emotionless killer of the Underworld God Palace.

"On the day of the execution, what will happen to me? What will happen to my companions?"

Gu Chen asked.

"According to His Majesty's decree, you will be cut into pieces, then your bones will be dug out and you will bleed to death."

"As for your companions, most of them also have extreme path organs, they will not have a good ending."

Elder Nangong left after he finished speaking.

"So that's how it is …"

Hearing how he would die, Gu Chen expressionlessly looked up at the sky.

It was night time now, and the moon in the sky of the northern plains was especially round and big.

No matter how he tried these few days, there was no reaction from his physical strength, elemental energy or mental energy. He was completely controlled by the poison. The only thing that had any reaction was the Heavenly Phenomenon Art.

When he silently recalled the chant of the Heavenly Phenomenon Art, he would faintly form a connection with the moon in the night sky.

He could feel the celestial force contained in the moon, and this gave him a trace of hope.

Different from when he was in the western desert, the power of the sun's true fire that he could control would greatly increase during the day. But in the northern plains, the connection with the sun was weakened during the day, and his perception of the moon was greatly increased during the night.

These few days, Gu Chen's cultivation had reached the peak, and he was on the verge of breaking through at any time. But unexpectedly, he was poisoned.

But even though he was poisoned, his cultivation did not disappear. He could still form a connection with the moon, and this gave him a decision.
