Chapter 509

However, the battle had just ended, and they still had many things to do.

"Everyone, although the Man with a Bamboo Hat is dead, we don't know how the octopus monsters he raised are doing. Please contact the various places as soon as possible to find out the casualties!

"Also, the Kunlun Ruins is not a place to stay for long. Ordinary cultivators should leave as soon as possible!"

Gu Chen regained the demeanor of an overlord. Everyone's expressions tensed up when they heard his reminder.

The octopus monsters were huge, and they were scattered all over the continent. They were a serious threat to their territory.

If they went out of control after the Man with a Bamboo Hat died, there would definitely be huge casualties!

At that moment, everyone packed up and contacted their own people.

"Is the Man with a Bamboo Hat really dead?"

The Green Qilin Killing God walked to Gu Chen's side and asked seriously.

The Man with a Bamboo Hat was a cunning rabbit with three burrows. They had killed him twice before, and they were only his incarnations. He was worried that it would be the same this time.

If the Man with a Bamboo Hat was still alive, he would definitely be the nightmare of the Kunlun Continent.

"He won't be coming back."

Gu Chen laughed self-deprecatingly.

He did not know whether the real Man with a Bamboo Hat was dead or alive. Everything he saw from his incomplete consciousness confused him, especially the pair of huge eyes that appeared in the vast starry sky. Just thinking about it made him shudder.

However, his Heavenly Tyrant Bone had been shattered, and the Man with a Bamboo Hat's goal could no longer be achieved. He had no reason to return.

Gu Chen's words made the Green Qilin Killing God and the others heave a sigh of relief. The Man with a Bamboo Hat could even control the power of the dragon vein. If he returned, it would be the end of the world.

It was impossible for them to count on Gu Chen to reverse time again. He only had one year left to live. Even with the Time Stone, he could no longer perform such a heaven-defying divinity.

After Gu Chen finished speaking to everyone, he arrived before the unconscious Ji Lanchu.

She had already successfully changed her fate under Gu Chen's divine ability, and her body was full of vitality. But for some reason, Gu Chen had already woken up, but she hadn't.

Gu Chen's lifespan was almost exhausted, which was why there was death energy left in his body, but Ji Lanchu didn't. Because Gu Chen captured the power of the dragon vein and injected it into the Dragon Phoenix's body, her body underwent a transformation, and she obtained endless benefits.

Under such circumstances, her lifespan had increased instead of decreasing, and her physique had already improved to an unpredictable level. She should have woken up long ago.

Gu Chen invited Puji Holy Monk to diagnose her condition.

"Amitabha, Princess Lanchu's pulse is extremely strong. I have never seen such a pulse in my life. With such a pulse, even if she is a mortal, she can live for 055 years, not to mention that she is a king of the longevity realm." Puji Holy Monk diagnosed.

"Then why hasn't she woken up yet?" Gu Chen frowned. Puji Holy Monk's judgment was the same as his.

"Princess Lanchu's last strike was infused with all of her essence, energy, and spirit. Although Benefactor Gu used the power of the dragon vein to change her fate, I'm afraid the injury on her soul isn't that easy to heal.

"However, there's no need to worry too much. She's not suffering from an incurable soul injury, and her body and soul affect each other. Her body is so powerful, so she should wake up sooner or later."

Puji Holy Monk speculated.

"How long will it take for her to wake up?"

"At least a few months or half a year. At most, it might be decades," Puji Holy Monk said hesitantly.

"That long?" Everyone was shocked.

"She's using the Kunlun Emperor's Sword after all. Benefactor Gu should be very clear about the power of this weapon."

Gu Chen fell silent. He only had a year to live, but Lanchu might sleep for a year and a half. Fate was really playing tricks on people.

"Princess Lanchu has the Dragon-Phoenix Body, and she's also benefited from the dragon vein. Letting her recuperate in the Kunlun Ruins should be very beneficial to her recovery."

Puji Holy Monk left after saying that, leaving Gu Chen alone to ponder.

When Gu Chen carried Ji Lanchu, the people from the various forces had already cleaned up the battlefield and found out the general situation of the Kunlun Ruins.

Perhaps because the dragon vein had just erupted, the Kunlun Ruins was not as dangerous as rumored. Everyone found the dragon nest in the glacier that the Man with a Bamboo Hat had walked out of earlier and saw the frozen dragon.

The giant dragon was the source of the Kunlun Ruins' dragon vein's power. Everyone took it very seriously.

A Man with a Bamboo Hat had controlled the power of the dragon vein and almost wiped out the entire Kunlun Continent's combat power. It was clear how destructive the power here was.

Although the chances of another person as terrifying as the Man with a Bamboo Hat appearing was slim, the various forces still felt that it was necessary to seal off this place.

They had too many things to do. The world had just settled down, and there were many things waiting to be done.

Gu Chen followed Puji Holy Monk's suggestion and carried Ji Lanchu to the dragon nest in the ice. Meanwhile, the others handed the Kunlun Mirror and Kunlun Emperor Sword to him.

These two top-notch treasures on the continent could not fall into the hands of any cultivator easily, or it would cause a huge uproar.

In the eyes of the various forces, now that the legitimate heir of the two treasures, Princess Lanchu, was unconscious, handing the treasures to Gu Chen was the most suitable choice.

Firstly, he was already publicly acknowledged as the most powerful person on the continent, and his character had already gained the trust of the various forces. Handing the two treasures to him would not disrupt the balance of the various forces.

Secondly, he was the one who defeated the enemy, so the spoils of war should belong to him. Moreover, he was Princess Lanchu's fiancé. No one in the world was more legitimate than him.

Gu Chen temporarily accepted the Kunlun Emperor Sword and Kunlun Mirror. He decided to wait for Lanchu to wake up before letting her deal with the two treasures.

The leaders of the various forces contacted their respective territories, and soon, there was good news.

After the death of the Man with a Bamboo Hat, the giant octopuses wandering in the territories of the various clans seemed to have lost their vitality and did not attack the territories of the various clans.

However, they were still alive, wandering around like walking corpses. There were a total of 855 of them, so how to deal with them was still a tricky problem.

Gu Chen stayed in the Kunlun Ruins' dragon nest for a day, silently accompanying Lanchu, hoping that she would wake up soon.

After experiencing this calamity, both of them had taken a trip to the gates of hell. Gu Chen already understood how he felt about her.

He had a lot to say to her, and he wanted to spend more time with her for the rest of his life.

Gu Yuan entered the ice layer a day later. He asked everyone present to leave first, leaving only Gu Chen behind.

Gu Chen looked at his grandfather and saw his serious expression. He knew that he was ready to tell him about him and the Gu family.

Gu Yuan came from overseas, and Gu Chen already knew about this from Huangfu Wuji's memories.

This explained why there had never been any records of the Empyrean Bone in the history of the Kunlun Continent. It was because the Gu family that possessed the Empyrean Bone was overseas!

It was because Gu Yuan came from overseas decades ago that the God of War, Huangfu Wuji, was born, and the turbulence of the past few decades.
