Chapter 427

He clearly remembered why he had appeared in Northern Plains, and how Gu Chen had saved him.

Back then, that youth who could not even cultivate spirit energy but persistently trained himself every day had eventually grown into an overlord of his generation.

"If Gu Yuan was still alive, he would definitely be very proud to have a grandson like you."

Elder Nan Gong sighed. He had no children in his life and had always been protecting Gu Chen. Unknowingly, he had already treated Gu Chen as his junior. Seeing that Gu Chen had made a name for himself, he was happier than anyone else.

"Elder, you have suffered!"

Gu Chen's eyes turned slightly red. He thought about how much suffering Elder Nan Gong had suffered to protect him when he escaped.

He was aware of the suffering that Lu Yichen and Cao Xuanbin had gone through through human experiments, but Elder Nan Gong's Myriad Poison Body had paid a greater price than them.

Although Gu Chen had helped him recover his memories, he could not change his poison body. As long as this poison body existed, he would have to suffer for a day.

Gu Chen suggested to Elder Nan Gong that he could give up on the poison bone in his body. As long as he took away the extreme path organs, the poison in his body would be easily cured. But if he did that, his cultivation would be half-crippled.

"The Old Man still needs to preserve his cultivation to fight his way into Middle Plains with you!"

Elder Nan Gong rejected Gu Chen's suggestion as his eyes shone brightly.

"Huangfu Wuji not only owes your Gu clan, he also owes the Old Man. They tortured the Old Man to this state, the Old Man must make them pay the price!"

Elder Nan Gong was in high spirits, he did not look like an old man who was tortured by poison every day.

Lian Po was old, could he still eat?

Elder Nan Gong seemed to have regained his hot-blooded youth and wanted to fight alongside Gu Chen in Middle Plains.

"I understand, I will find a way as soon as possible to completely resolve the problem with Elder's body."

Gu Chen saw that Elder Nan Gong had made up his mind and nodded.

His heart had already drifted to the Middle Earth. Now that the Demonic Human Race, Stone Race, and Yao Race had all supported him, the Ghost Emperor would keep his promise.

In that case, the Netherworld Manor would soon betray Huangfu Wuji, and his goal would finally be realized!

The biggest problem in front of him now was the Celestial Court!

It was time to rebuild the Celestial Court. He already knew how to do it.

"Sect Leader, the Rose Killing God has received news and has set a specific time for the Celestial Court meeting."

At this moment, the Ghost King reported.

A few days ago, because Gu Chen was preoccupied with Elder Nangong's matter, he didn't dare to disturb him, so he didn't tell him about this matter.

However, they had been delayed in Frostless City for too long, and the news of Nalan family's destruction should have spread to Middle Plains. In order to avoid Huangfu Wuji's attack, it was time to leave.

In particular, the old members of the Celestial Court were already on the way to gather. It was said that Zhu Que, Curly Sickle, and the other killing gods, as well as the two Daoists, Zong Ziyu and Xun Xi, had already brought their people to the meeting location. Meanwhile, Gu Chen and the rest were still in Northern Plains.

"Where is the meeting location?"

Gu Chen asked.

"Eastern Wilderness, Linhai Prefecture," the Ghost King said.

"I know that place, why are we going to such a far place?"

Gu Chen frowned. He grew up in Eastern Wilderness and had heard of Linhai Prefecture. It was close to the Endless Ocean and was considered extremely remote.

"After the Celestial Court was destroyed, most of the old members of the Celestial Court escaped to Eastern Wilderness. There is an old branch of the Celestial Court there that is well preserved, and it is far from Huangfu Wuji's sphere of influence, so the meeting location was set there."

The Ghost King explained.

"It seems that many people are very wary of Huangfu Wuji."

Gu Chen frowned. Choosing such a remote Eastern Wilderness showed the weakness of some people in the Celestial Court.

"Now that Gu Daozi has united the four major alien races, it is naturally a small matter to integrate the Celestial Court," the Ghost King said with a smile.

He rarely flattered people, but at this moment, he could not help but say it.

When Jiang Yu first mentioned the plan to unite the four races, he felt that it was an impossible task.

However, now that the most impossible task had been completed, he believed that nothing could stop Gu Chen.

Gu Chen was already a Saint of the Celestial Realm, and he was completely qualified to challenge the killing gods.

He realized that after this meeting, the second Celestial Thearch would be born!

"This time, no matter what, we must rebuild the Celestial Court and fulfill the last wish of the Celestial Thearch."

Gu Chen murmured.

...

Middle Earth, inside the palace of Ba Du.

"You useless thing, what did you promise me?"

Huangfu Wuji sat on the dragon throne, and he was unprecedentedly furious at the Man with a Bamboo Hat standing below!

The Northern Plains had just sent back news that the Na Lan Clan had been annihilated, and the five Saints they had sent were all annihilated. They had suffered heavy losses!

This could be said to be a huge blow to the Nether God Palace. After all, it took a lot of effort to nurture an expert like the Dark Heaven Guard!

"According to your plan, that scoundrel Gu Chen has already broken through to the Celestial Realm, and the Northern Plains Demon Tribe has already formed an alliance with him! Now that he has united the three major alien races, he is already a serious threat to my kingdom! "

Huangfu Wuji was furious. He had originally planned to personally go to the Northern Plains and kill that Gu Chen, but because of the Man with a Bamboo Hat's promise, he did not go.

Originally, the news that came back a few days ago was good, saying that Gu Chen was going to be publicly executed. He was even happy about it, and praised the Man with a Bamboo Hat.

Who would have thought that the situation would change not long after? The news that Gu Chen had broken through to become a Saint in the Northern Plains spread, and the news that he had formed an alliance with the Demon Tribe also spread like wildfire.

Now, this matter had already spread all over the world, and everyone was saying that the Overlord was going to send troops to the Middle Earth, and that his Huangfu Clan's kingdom was in danger!

He had suffered at the hands of the Overlord time and time again, and his prestige had already suffered a great blow. There was no lack of mockery and ridicule in and out of the court.

Huangfu Wuji was filled with regret. He had never thought that he could not kill this kid no matter how hard he tried, and instead allowed him to grow!

"This subordinate deserves ten thousand deaths, please punish me, Lord God of the Underworld!"

The Man with a Bamboo Hat did not explain at all. He kowtowed and took the initiative to ask for punishment.

After Huangfu Wuji reprimanded him for a long time, his anger gradually subsided.

There were too few people around him that he could trust, especially a trusted aide like the Man with a Bamboo Hat. He could not find a second one.

Thus, although he was dissatisfied, he did not really punish the other party.

"Send down my orders to the Prefecture, Two Halls, Three Clans, Four Sacred Lands, and Five Sacred Sects. From today onwards, the entire Middle Earth will be conscripting troops!"

Huangfu Wuji said coldly.

"Lord God of the Underworld, you mean …"

The Man with a Bamboo Hat's gaze turned cold.

"That Gu Clan remnant will be here soon. I want to gather all the forces and cultivators that can be of use in the Nine Provinces!"

"So what if they ally with the three foreign races? I can take them all down in one go, and unify the continent earlier than expected! "

Huangfu Wuji had a crazed look on his face. He had already regarded Gu Chen, who had broken through to become a Saint, as an evenly matched enemy!

"This subordinate understands. Yes, Lord God."

The Man with a Bamboo Hat took a deep breath and left with a solemn expression, as if he was about to face a great enemy.

When he was far away from Huangfu Wuji's palace, he raised his head to look at the sky and laughed weirdly, as if he did not take Huangfu Wuji's reprimand to heart at all.

"Haha, Jie, the world is finally going to be in chaos … The Overlord is even worse than Huangfu Wuji. I really want to turn him into my experimental subject …"
