Chapter 445

When Ji Lanchu woke up, it was already noon the next day.

She hadn't had a good sleep for a long time. On Gu Chen's bed, she slept soundly and soundly like never before.

When she woke up, she didn't see Gu Chen. She was slightly disappointed. She thought he would accompany her for the whole day.

After changing her clothes and tying up her hair, Ji Lanchu pushed the door open and walked out of the room.

Suddenly, the loud noise almost drowned her ears!

It was so quiet in the room that she couldn't hear anything, but she didn't expect it to be so loud outside.

Whether it was in the sky or on Yunwu Mountain, there were streaks of light flying everywhere, busy and nervous.

And from the foot of the mountain, there were endless roars of demonic beasts.

Ji Lanchu glanced at the four corners of the room and realized that there was a soundproof formation installed here. That was why she could sleep so soundly without being disturbed.

The disappointment in her heart disappeared. Instead, she felt warm because of Gu Chen's thoughtfulness.

She spread out her divine sense at once, trying to find Gu Chen, but she was stunned by the majesty of the Heavenly Star Sect.

It was already late at night when she arrived at the Heavenly Star Sect last night. At that time, she only wanted to see Gu Chen, so she didn't pay attention to anything around her.

However, when she spread out her divine sense, she found that the place was densely packed with the aura of cultivators. Some of them were so powerful that they had clearly reached the Celestial Being Realm.

The number of Celestial Being Realm cultivators here far exceeded that of the Middle Earth royal family.

Gu Chen's room was at the top of the Yunyue Restaurant. She took a few steps to the top and looked into the distance.

She couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Within a radius of several hundred miles, there were military camps everywhere. The soldiers were training in an orderly manner.

Looking down from above, the soldiers were densely packed like ants. They were scattered on the vast land and could be seen everywhere.

Some of the soldiers were from the human race, and some were from the demonic beast race. There was a place that was filled with Yin energy. It was a gathering place for corpse soldiers.

Soldiers from different races gathered together, but there was no conflict. Instead, they practiced various battle formations in harmony and nervousness.

She had never seen such a situation even when the Central Plains royal family was at its most powerful.

Ji Lanchu couldn't help but think of the mythical discussions people had about Gu Chen on their way to find him.

"Celestial Emperor Gu Chen …"

Ji Lanchu's heart swayed. She had never thought that the man she liked would grow to such an extent in such a short period of time.

His achievements had far surpassed those of her father and brothers.

"Princess Lanchu, so you're here."

A voice suddenly sounded behind Ji Lanchu. She turned around and saw a gentle and beautiful woman.

Although she did not seem to have any lethality, Ji Lanchu could keenly sense that her cultivation had already reached the King Realm.

This made her very shocked. Judging from his age, he was about the same as her. With such strength, he could be considered to have outstanding talent.

"You are?" she asked.

"My name is Zhao Rou. Big Brother Gu said that you've just arrived and are unfamiliar with this place, so he asked me to take care of you."

Zhao Rou said with a smile.

"Big Brother Gu."

Ji Lanchu keenly captured this form of address and realized that the other party should be very familiar with Gu Chen.

Zhao Rou and Ji Lanchu chatted amiably, and soon brought her to a banquet hall on Yunwu Mountain for a meal.

As soon as she entered the hall, Ji Lanchu immediately felt a large group of people staring at her.

There were already many people sitting at the table, a total of seven. Each of them was about the same age as her and had different temperaments, but they were all beautiful.

In particular, there was a beautiful woman with a cold aura. Her cultivation had actually reached the late stage of the Longevity Realm, which was not much different from her.

It should be noted that ever since she had a fortuitous encounter in the Ten-thousand Dragons Secret Land and experienced many twists and turns afterward, her cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds. Apart from monstrous geniuses like Gu Chen, few people of her age could compare to her.

In the Tianchen Sect, she actually found eight young girls who were all at the King Realm, and one of them was on par with her.

"Where did Gu Chen find this group of people?"

Ji Lanchu murmured in her heart.

When Ji Lanchu was looking at the girls, the others were also looking at her. They were curious about the appearance of this princess of the Middle Earth who Gu Chen had killed out of anger and left a marriage contract with her.

As soon as they saw Princess Lanchu, the girls' eyes lit up. She was so beautiful that there were almost no flaws.

Although there was a bit of melancholy in her eyes, it didn't affect her orchid-like temperament at all. Instead, it made people have the urge to protect her.

"Hello, everyone."

Ji Lanchu greeted them politely with a smile.

Her smile was even more beautiful, overshadowing all the flowers. The girls secretly sighed in their hearts. She was indeed a beauty that could topple a city.

With Zhao Rou's introduction, both parties got to know each other. Princess Lanchu and the eight girls sat together for a meal.

"Sister Lu, when did you come back?"

Zhao Rou looked at Lu Yichen and asked with a smile.

Some time ago, Lu Yichen went to the Nanling Mountains with Killer God Rose and Killer God Vermillion to negotiate with the Monster Race. They were busy with the Baijing Mansion, so they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

"I just came back."

Lu Yichen answered absent-mindedly. Most of her attention was on Princess Lanchu.

Regardless of whether it was his appearance or aptitude, they were both astonishing, causing her to be unable to help but secretly compare them.

"May I know where Gu Chen is?"

Ji Lanchu wasn't familiar with the girls, so she couldn't help but ask.

The girls fell silent. They had heard that Princess Lanchu had slept in Big Brother Gu's room last night. They didn't expect her to be in a hurry to find him after waking up today. Their relationship was indeed deep.

"Huangfu Wuji's army in Serene Province has been moving. The two sides will go to war soon. The Celestial Thearch is now discussing strategies with the Sages."

Lu Yichen answered.

Ji Lanchu's heart trembled. No wonder she didn't see Gu Chen when she woke up. He must have been very busy these days.

Thinking that she felt a little sad because he wasn't around when she woke up, Ji Lanchu felt guilty.

A large part of what Gu Chen was doing now was for her sake.

…

"Your Majesty, there are three million soldiers stationed at the border of Serene Province. The commander is True Jade Divine Lord, and the deputy commander is Huangfu Wuji's second son, Huangfu Yi."

"The Huangfu Clan is recruiting soldiers from all the major forces in the Nine States. The Two Academies, Three Clans, Four Sacred Lands, and Five Sacred Sects have all sent a large number of people to participate in the war. Their strength is not to be underestimated."

In the conference hall of the Yunyue Restaurant, Gu Chen sat on the main seat and was listening to his subordinate's report.

Present were the Demon Sages led by the Ape Clan's High Priest, as well as the Killer Gods and Ghost Kings of the Celestial Court.

"Huangfu Yi is the real commander. Huangfu Wuji won't be at ease with True Jade Divine Lord."
