Chapter 466
Gu Chen was shocked. "What do you think, Mother?"
"The reason why the court supports Huangfu Wuji is for self-protection and for the sake of the common people. They don't want war to break out because Huangfu Wuji is powerful."
"And the reason why Huangfu Wuji is powerful is because he controls one government, two academies, three clans, four sacred grounds, and five sacred sects."
"Even the royal family of the Central Plains was restricted by the major forces of the nine states and couldn't do as they pleased. It was because of this balance that the nine states had always been stable and prosperous."
"But Huangfu Wuji broke this balance. By controlling the leaders of the major forces, he has the absolute right to speak, and no one dares to disobey him."
"With the support of the major forces, it will be very difficult for you to defeat Huangfu Wuji. The sacred sects and sacred grounds of the Central Plains all have deep foundations. Even if you defeat the army of the Man with a Bamboo Hat, you will still be in a quagmire of war."
"If you want to completely solve this problem and avoid a life and death battle with your grandfather and friends, the only way is to save the leaders of the major forces!"
Shen Yu Shu pointed out the crux of the problem.
Gu Chen frowned. "No one knows where the leaders of the major forces are imprisoned. They might be in the imperial palace of Ba Du. If you want to save them, you will be in direct conflict with Huangfu Wuji."
"The problem now is that the allied forces are trapped here and can't move forward. The war with the major forces of the nine states is imminent, so how can we talk about saving their leaders?"
Shen Yu Shu smiled. "What if Mother says that the leaders are not imprisoned in Ba Du, but somewhere else?"
Gu Chen's expression turned cold. "How would Mother know where they are imprisoned? Even Jiang Yu can't divine this! "
In order to deal with the major forces of the nine states, the allied forces had long thought of various countermeasures. Jiang Buzhuo had suggested many times that they should save the leaders of the major forces.
As long as they saved the leaders, the major forces of the nine states would rebel like the Thousand Smelting Sacred Sect, and Huangfu Wuji would be alone.
They all agreed with this idea and asked Jiang Yu to divine, but the results were not clear, so the topic was left unsettled.
Now that his mother mentioned this matter again, Gu Chen's mind became active.
"When Huangfu Wuji first became emperor, Mother noticed that the situation in the imperial court was a bit strange. Then, during the ascension ceremony, I didn't see any leaders of the major forces, so Mother guessed that something must have happened.
"After investigation, we confirmed that the leaders of the major forces were captured, so Mother started to search for them."
When Shen Yu Shu explained the ins and outs of the matter, Gu Chen was startled. His mother, a weak woman, actually went to do such a dangerous thing!
"There's something that you might not know. The Sacred Leader of the South Flower Sacred Land, Luo Haicheng, once pursued Mother for many years."
"When Mother left Eastern Wilderness and returned to the Shen Clan, he refused to give, he didn. He refused to give...
Gu Chen listened in surprise. He had heard about this when he had inquired about his mother's whereabouts, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Luo of Chen. Chen," said. "Luo of Luo," Luo of Sacred Mother, Mother. "Luo Luo Sacred," Of. Luo, he, is.. Of. Shen, Shen Li Has Tian. He.
"No one in South Flower Sacred Ground knows about this. Huangfu Wuji naturally wouldn't have thought of it."
Gu Chen was enlightened. He finally understood how his mother found the place where the leaders of the major forces were imprisoned.
"Chen 'er, you declared war on Huangfu Wuji during the ascension ceremony. Mother knew that there would be a war sooner or later. Once the war happened, the major forces of the nine states would definitely become your greatest obstacle.
"Mother knew that your grandfather was stubborn, and you would never turn back after making up your mind. You would probably kill each other sooner or later. You are all Mother's closest relatives. I didn't want to see that day come, so I started to investigate.
"It's easy to find the location, but it's definitely difficult to rescue her. Mother needed help at that time, but the Heavenly Court had already been destroyed, and you were wanted by Huangfu Wuji with a sky-high bounty. It was too difficult to find someone who was willing to help."
"At that time, Mother happened to be near the Qingzhou True Martial Academy, so I went to look for Qing Shuang.
"Qing Shuang might have done something wrong, but she isn't a bad person. Because of the calamity of Feng Lin Manor, she is on the same side as us.
"She didn't disappoint Mother and immediately left the True Martial Academy with Mother. After many twists and turns, we finally found the place where the leaders of the major forces were imprisoned."
Gu Chen sighed. He didn't expect that Ye Qingshuang would actually help his mother when he was in the most dangerous situation and wanted by the entire world.
These two women actually joined hands to do such a dangerous thing. It made him feel that women could hold up half the sky.
"Mother, where is that place? Is it heavily guarded? "
"That place is called the Underworld God Pagoda. It is surrounded by the Underworld River. It was probably the place where Huangfu Wuji had a fortuitous encounter," Shen Yushu said solemnly.
The reason why Huangfu Wuji could have such glorious achievements was because he relied on the Gu Clan's Overlord Ether Bone and had a fortuitous encounter.
And that fortuitous encounter was the Underworld God Pagoda. Huangfu Wuji obtained the inheritance of the Underworld God there, which later led to the Underworld God and the Underworld God Palace that could summon wind and rain in the dark world.
When Gu Chen heard this, he shivered. He didn't expect that Mother had found the origin of the Underworld God Palace!
"The Underworld God Pagoda is guarded by an extremely small number of Underworld God Palace assassins, but its interior is filled with layers of restrictions. The leaders of the major forces are imprisoned in the upper levels of the Underworld God Pagoda. We tried to investigate the situation inside, but it was very difficult to enter the pagoda. "
"With Qing Shuang and Yang Zhen's cultivation, it was too difficult for them to do this. That's why Mother came here to find you. They stayed behind to observe and prevent any accidents from happening."
Shen Yushu wasted a lot of time looking for Gu Chen. After all, she and Little Qiu didn't practice cultivation. Just the distance of a single prefecture was extremely far for them.
After listening to everything, Gu Chen fell into deep thought.
Mother's words made sense. If they could rescue the leaders of the major forces, then the situation of the war would change fundamentally.
If all the major forces of the Nine Prefectures joined their side, Huangfu Wuji would be powerless to reverse the situation, and the war would end prematurely!
This matter was worth doing. It could avoid fighting with Grandfather and his old friends. Most importantly, it could save countless common people!
Gu Chen made a prompt decision and asked Huang Pingzhang to invite the Green Qilin Killing God, the High Priestess, and the other higher-ups of the allied forces. He had to make a decision on this matter as soon as possible!
Very soon, the higher-ups of the allied forces arrived. Gu Chen told them the ins and outs of the matter.
"This is feasible. It's worth taking the risk!"
