Chapter 474

"Ah! This uncanny craftsmanship, this real touch … "

He had an intoxicated look on his face, as if he had been possessed by a demon.

He caressed the statue with both hands. Gu Chen could vaguely see a dark light flowing in his palms. His entire arm was slowly withering as his blood was being absorbed by the statue.

"Swoosh!"

Gu Chen reacted almost immediately. He grabbed Jiang Buzhuo's shoulder and forcefully pulled him away from the statue.

"Let go of the Old Man! Don't stop the Old Man! "

Jiang Buzhuo struggled as if he had gone mad.

"Master Jiang, wake up!"

Gu Chen frowned and slapped him in the face.

"Smack!"

The sharp pain on his cheek made Jiang Buzhuo quickly sober up. He looked confused. "Frined Gu, what just happened? Why does the Old Man's face hurt so much? "

Gu Chen had a strange look on his face. His heart was in turmoil.

Those statues were too strange. Jiang Buzhuo had been tricked and lost himself without knowing it.

If he had not been there, he did not know what would have happened.

Gu Chen told him about Jiang Buzhuo's strange behavior. Jiang Buzhuo looked at the statues as if he had seen a snake or a scorpion.

"Frined Gu, let's find the imprisoned man and leave this place as soon as possible!"

The unknown was always the most frightening. Jiang Buzhuo no longer had any interest in those extraordinary statues.

Gu Chen nodded, and the two of them continued forward.

This floor looked like a temple. There were many statues on both sides, and strange patterns were carved on the walls, floor, and even the ceiling.

The entire temple was eerie and gloomy. A bone-piercing chill followed them like a shadow.

The two of them walked to the end and soon found their target.

It was an old man with disheveled hair and dirty clothes.

He seemed to be tied to a stone tablet. Both his arms were wrapped in chains, and the chains extended to two stone pillars on both sides of the hall.

His sternum was also shackled. The bloodstains on his collar had long dried up, and some were still bright red. It was obvious that before he was imprisoned here, he was most likely imprisoned in another place.

Looking at his appearance, it was clear that he had suffered inhumane torture for a long time.

"Huangfu Wuji, what's wrong? It's only been a few days and you've come looking for me again. Could it be that you want to transfer me away again? Has that child of mine already forced you to become a street rat? "

Hearing the sound of someone approaching, the old man raised his head, revealing a pair of turbid old eyes.

At this moment, his pupils abruptly shrank to the size of needles!

The person in front of him was actually not Huangfu Wuji, but two people, one old and one young, whom he had never seen before.

His gaze was instantly attracted by the young man's face. His eyes were filled with shock, doubt, and excitement.

"I am not Huangfu Wuji."

Gu Chen sized up the old man in front of him and said with an indifferent expression.

With a sweep of his divine sense, he discovered that this old man did not have any cultivation at all. There seemed to be hidden injuries in his chest that had not healed even after many years. He could be said to be a cripple.

A cripple, yet Huangfu Wuji actually spent so much effort to imprison him in the last level of the Underworld God Tower. What did he mean by this?

"You … What's your name?"

The old man stared straight at Gu Chen, and his voice was actually trembling.

Too similar.

The other person's appearance reminded him of himself when he was young. Those distant memories seemed to have been awakened at this moment.

"You should be the one answering my question."

Gu Chen did not know this person's background and did not want to tell him anything. He had a cold expression on his face.

"Too similar, too similar! What's your surname? How old are you this year? Do you have any relatives in your family? "

However, the old man was agitated. He tried his best to break free from the chains and rush towards Gu Chen.

His eyes were completely red, and there seemed to be tears flickering in them. He looked like he had gone crazy.

"What does this have to do with you?"

Gu Chen frowned. This person asked him a bunch of sensitive questions out of nowhere. How could he answer him?

"If you know what's good for you, then answer honestly. We need to know your background and why you're here!"

Jiang Buzhuo berated. At the same time, he whispered to Gu Chen. "Frined Gu, this person has no cultivation at all, and he looks like a lunatic. Why don't we ignore him and leave this place?"

The numerous Underworld God statues here were truly terrifying. Jiang Buzhuo did not want to stay any longer.

Gu Chen gestured for him not to speak first. Then, he walked forward.

This old man's strange reaction confused him. His five senses were sharp, and he could sense that this old man's emotions were surging. There was excitement, joy, and fear, but there was no malice.

"My surname is Gu, and my name is Yuan. I've been imprisoned by Huangfu Wuji for dozens of years!"

The old man realized that his emotions were of no help at this moment. Thus, he took the initiative to introduce himself honestly.

"Gu Yuan?"

Gu Chen's face was filled with great shock and a great wave of emotions was set off in his heart.

His gaze could not help but fall on the old man's chest. The chest that was locked tightly by the chains was clearly incomplete, as if something was missing.

"Could it be …"

Gu Chen could not believe it.

Seeing the obvious change in this young man's emotions after hearing his name, Gu Yuan's tears flowed down his cheeks!

"Child, are you my relative? What's your father's name? "

He was like a helpless old man who longed to know the whereabouts of his family. He had not told anyone about this for many years.

"My father's name is Gu Tianming," Gu Chen blurted out.

"Tianming, Tianming …" Gu Yuan repeated.

Gu Yuan muttered repeatedly. Two streams of tears had unknowingly flowed down his shriveled old face.

This was the name he had considered giving his son when his wife was pregnant.

He had thought that he would have a lot of time to think of a name for his son, but he did not expect that an accident would happen. He was separated from his wife and was trapped in a dark dungeon for a long time.

"Your grandmother, she's already …"

Gu Yuan's heart trembled, and his voice was extremely hoarse.

"I've never seen my grandmother. My grandfather passed away early, and my grandmother raised my father alone. She became ill from overwork, and she missed my grandfather so she passed away early."

Gu Chen spoke truthfully. Although the person in front of him was extremely old, one could see the elegance of his youth from his facial features.

"Dead? Who cares if she's already dead?"

Gu Yuan's face revealed an expression of extreme pain as he asked again. "What about your father? Where is he now? "

Gu Chen looked at the old man who was in extreme pain. Although he found it hard to believe, he was already somewhat certain of the old man's identity.

"My father is being chased by enemies, and it's unknown whether he's dead or alive."

Unknown whether he's dead or alive!

These words made the old man feel even more pain. His eyes turned crimson red, as if the emotions that he had suppressed for many years were about to explode at this moment.

"Huangfu Wuji, you caused my family to be separated, leaving me with eternal regret. I hate it, I hate it!"

He howled at the sky. At this moment, under the influence of intense emotions, something seemed to break out of his body with great difficulty!

Boom —

A domineering aura that came from the source of Gu Chen crazily overflowed from the old man's body. On his broken chest, a new golden bone grew out!
