Chapter 48

It was time to leave.

He stayed in the forest near the Ghastly Ruins for a month. On the surface, Gu Chen seemed to be focused on training, but every night, he would feel an inexplicable fear.

He was worried about whether his mother had safely left Tian Nan City, and whether Elder Nangong was still alive.

These information could only be obtained in a crowded place, and in the forest, there was no one to accompany him except for White Ape.

Now that he had mastered his magical powers and the search was over, Gu Chen decided to leave.

After taking a hearty bath in the mountain stream, Gu Chen took out a clean martial artist's uniform from his storage ring and put it on.

This set of clothes was personally woven by his mother. The material was exquisite, and it was very comfortable to wear.

Hanging the Cold Star Sword on his back, Gu Chen said goodbye to the cave that he had stayed in for a month. Dressed simply, he set out on the road to leave.

White Ape was still by his side. Gu Chen was already used to its company.

This little guy was not tall, but before he left, he packed a pile of white crystals from the Ghastly Ruins and carried them on his shoulder, treating them like treasures.

Greedy, greedy, lawless, but talented. This was Gu Chen's evaluation of White Ape.

In this month, not only was he improving, White Ape ate and played all day, but his strength was also improving.

He even watched him use the Five Finger Fire Catching Technique, and learned it himself in a few days.

Gu Chen was not surprised by this, the little guy's ability to learn and imitate was very strong.

One man and one ape walked in the forest, walking straight down.

Gu Chen had never left Feng Lin Mansion before, and knew very little about the outside world. Right now, he could only find a place with people, and then decide where he should go.

Elder Nangong originally wanted to bring Gu Chen to Nanling, but now that he was gone, Gu Chen had to find a way out himself.

…

"This is different from what we agreed on. You promised me, so you should abide by the agreement!"

"Pfft, entering a place like the Ghastly Ruins is a big risk, and your Huang family's reward is far from enough."

"If that's the case, why didn't you reject him directly back then? You're only saying these words now that we're here!"

As Gu Chen was walking, he spread out his Divine Sense. Suddenly, he sensed a few conversations.

He raised his head in surprise and looked to the west. The source of the sound was two hundred meters away, separated by the dense forest.

After staying in the forest for a month, this was the first time he heard a human voice.

Who would have thought that someone would come to a place so close to the Ghastly Ruins?

A pensive look appeared in his eyes. There seemed to be quite a number of people here, but he didn't know what they were here for.

He eavesdropped on them curiously. The use of the divine sense was truly marvelous. He didn't need to see it with his own eyes, but the silhouettes of a group of people already appeared in his mind.

Two hundred meters away, a group of people was gathered together.

A beautiful woman in her twenties wearing a red dress was arguing with a middle-aged Daoist priest with an angry expression on her face.

There were a total of ten people on the Taoist priest's side, while there were only two guards on the beauty's side. The two parties seemed to be arguing over whether to enter the Ghostly Ruins or not.

The middle-aged Daoist priest had the highest cultivation in the group. Under the detection of Gu Chen's Divine Sense, he had just stepped into the Divine Power Realm. As for the others, they were only at the Physical Body Realm.

Gu Chen found it a little funny that such a group of people wanted to step into the Ghostly Ruins. Could it be that they were seeking death?

"Daoist Lin, what do I have to do for you to follow our original agreement and bring your men into the Ghostly Ruins to help me find the Nine Yin Stone?"

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to change his mind after arguing for a long time, the beauty bit her lip and spoke in a low voice.

"Oh, Huang Fei, no matter what, this poor Taoist and Master Huang are acquaintances. If I can help, how can I not? It's just that entering the Ghostly Ruins is too risky. Even if I'm willing, will my brothers be willing? "

Daoist Lin looked like he was in a difficult position.

"What conditions do you have, Daoist Lin? Just say it!"

A trace of disgust appeared in the eyes of the beauty named Huang Fei. She knew that the other party was deliberately raising the price, but there was nothing she could do.

The Nine Yin Stone was extremely important to her grandfather, and she couldn't lose it.

"This … Now that you put it that way, this poor Taoist does have something that you can help me with."

Daoist Lin rubbed his chin, his eyes lingering on Huang Fei's voluptuous breasts.

Huang Fei sensed his gaze and felt indignant, but she couldn't show it. "What kind of help? Daoist Lin, don't waste time. When it gets dark, you won't be able to enter the Ghostly Ruins. "

Daoist Lin still looked like he was in a difficult position, but his subordinates continued the topic.

"Miss Huang, my Daoist Lin is too embarrassed to say it, so I'll say it on his behalf! It's like this: some time ago, Daoist Lin was plotted against by vile people and was poisoned. The miracle doctor in the Rejuvenation Valley said that he needs to find a woman whose Primordial Yin has not been broken to perform dual cultivation to cure the poison! "

"Daoist Lin has given us a new lease on life. If you can help him with this, we will naturally go into the Ghostly Ruins to find the Nine Yin Stone for you!"

After the subordinate finished speaking, the rest of his companions nodded hurriedly, their eyes filled with excitement.

Huang Fei's face turned pale in an instant. How could she not understand the so-called dual cultivation?

"What nonsense are you talking about! Do you think we can't tell what you're planning? "

"This is too much! Taking advantage of the situation, despicable and shameless!"

Huang Fei's two guards were enraged on the spot.

Daoist Lin had always been known for his lecherous nature. Their young mistress had no choice but to ask him for help. She did not expect him to agree on the surface but oppose her in secret. In the end, he came up with this trick.

Only a ghost would believe the nonsense of being poisoned. This group of people was clearly acting and plotting something!

"Ahem, you can't say things like that. I've always been a gentleman and won't force anyone. "

Daoist Lin's expression was stern and righteous.

"As long as Huang Fei helps me cure this poison, I'll double the promised reward. I promise to enter the Ghostly Ruins and find the Nine Yin Stone for you even if I have to climb a mountain of swords or dive into a sea of flames!"

Huang Fei looked at his pretentious expression and suddenly gave up. She sneered.

"Daoist Lin, stop pretending. After all this trouble, you don't even dare to enter the Ghostly Ruins!"

"I'm really desperate. I can't believe I thought of asking you for help. That's it, forget it!"

As she spoke, she turned around and was about to leave with the two guards.

Daoist Lin did not expect her to reject him so decisively. His face turned red and then green.

It was not easy to trick this enchanting woman into coming to this barren land. If he let her escape, wouldn't it be a pity?

"Stop right there!"

His voice was cold as he signaled his subordinates to surround Huang Fei and her guards with his eyes.

"Daoist Lin, are you going to use force? Aren't you afraid that my grandfather will cause trouble for you? "

Huang Fei threatened angrily. Her proud breasts were heaving up and down in anger.

"Hey, don't use your grandfather to pressure me. If it was a few years ago, I would still have my concerns. But now, everyone in the Greedy Wolf City knows that your grandfather's lifespan is coming to an end. If he makes a move, he will lose half his life."
