Chapter 548

I was wrong!

The three words stabbed Xiao Jing's heart and almost exhausted all his strength.

After speaking, he was so dispirited that he didn't even have the courage to look up at the people around him.

His scheme against Gu Chen didn't give him any advantage at all. Instead, he got himself into trouble.

After Xiao Jing's apology, the matter was settled.

No one could have imagined that such a grand operation to exterminate the demons would end in such a manner.

The imposter they had thought was not an imposter, and the theft was not true. Who should they complain to when so many islands of Penglai Immortal Island were destroyed and suffered so many losses?

The sober cultivators of Penglai Immortal Island felt as if they had eaten a bitter pill, and they couldn't say anything.

"Ms. Gu, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, how about I treat you to a meal?"

Zuo Chunqiu said elegantly.

"There's no need for a meal. My cousin has been away from home for many years, and the seniors in the family all want to see him. They asked me to bring him back as soon as possible."

"I see. What a pity." Zuo Chunqiu looked regretful.

Gu Lianyue turned to the exhausted Gu Chen and asked, "Are you okay with it? Can we go now? "

"Yes." Gu Chen nodded.

Her frown eased, and she looked in the direction of Penglai Island Master.

"Island Master, everyone, we'll be leaving now."

Penglai Island Master revealed a kind smile. "Okay. Have a safe trip."

He glanced at Gu Chen. Although he looked gentle, Gu Chen could sense the coldness hidden deep in his eyes!

If not for the Gu Family, Gu Chen knew that this Penglai Island Master wouldn't let it go since he was too shrewd.

Gu Lianyue flew up into the sky and left. Gu Chen followed her while whistling.

Under his whistling, the 855 octopus monsters gathered and turned into a flood in the ocean, following them closely.

They had powerful self-healing abilities, which was why the attacks of the Dharma Manifestation Realm masters couldn't kill them.

Wherever Gu Lian Yue and Gu Chen passed, many cultivators would make way for them, their eyes filled with deep reverence.

The Gu Clan's female overlord's actions today made them realize just how powerful the rumored Gu Clan was.

Even a master of the Dharmakaya realm like Immortal Luofu could not withstand a single blow from her, and she was merely the leader of the younger generation of the Gu Clan.

An hour later, Gu Chen and Gu Lian Yue were already far away from the Penglai Immortal Island, stopping briefly on a deserted island.

The two cousins, who had never met before, looked at each other without saying a word.

Although they appeared to be very united in front of outsiders, in the end, the two of them were only strangers.

Gu Chen had never grown up in the Gu Clan, and for a long time, Gu Lian Yue did not even know that she had such a cousin.

"Thank you for your help. I will definitely repay you."

Gu Chen was the first to break the silence. He held the white ape in his arms and solemnly promised.

If Gu Lian Yue had not appeared today, not only would he have died, the white ape would have died as well.

He had taken a trip to the gates of hell and finally understood how vast the Primordial Continent was, and how weak he was now.

"Since you are a disciple of my clan, I naturally will not sit by and do nothing." Gu Lian Yue threw the Kunlun Emperor Sword back to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen sheathed his sword and did not dwell on today's fiasco. He asked after pondering for a while. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Miss Gu, how is my father now?"

Gu Lian Yue had asked for his father's name today, and once she got the answer, she immediately confirmed her identity.

This meant that she knew of his father, but his father had grown up in the Kunlun Continent. How did she know?

The only explanation was that his father had traveled overseas and successfully reached the Primordial Continent, then returned to the Gu Clan!

After coming to this conclusion, Gu Chen only wanted to know how his father was doing as soon as possible.

Hearing Gu Chen take the initiative to ask about Gu Tianming, Gu Lian Yue's originally normal expression became somewhat complicated.

"We can ask about this when we return to the clan. We still have to hurry."

"Why?" Gu Chen's expression froze. He only wanted to know about his father's situation. Answering this question should not take up too much time.

"Although you look rather similar to your father, I can't be sure that there are no problems with your identity. When you return to the clan and your identity is recognized, you will naturally know everything you want to know."

Gu Lian Yue's words sounded like she was brushing him off, causing Gu Chen to frown.

Did something happen to his father?

"I know you have many questions and are wary of me. Otherwise, you would not have called me Miss Gu," Gu Lian Yue said indifferently.

"After all, we just met. It is normal for you to have concerns. I am the same on this point. I hope you understand."

Gu Chen nodded. Although the other party was holding back, he could see that she did not have any ill intentions.

"If my senses are not wrong, there seems to be a problem with the Tyrannical Heavenly Bone in your body?" She changed the topic.

Gu Chen's pupils shrank, but he did not deny it. "It has been broken for some time."

"It has been broken?"

Gu Lian Yue was shocked when she heard this. Although she had sensed that the Tyrannical Bone in his body was strange, she did not expect it to be this serious.

"How is this possible? If the Tyrannical Bone has been broken, how can you still have this cultivation? "

She grabbed Gu Chen's hand and felt his pulse without any explanation.

When she felt his pulse, a look of disbelief appeared in her eyes.

"Such vigorous life force …"

Then, her eyes lit up again and turned golden. She stared at Gu Chen.

"Death Qi is entwined between your brows. Your lifespan is clearly approaching its end, but your body is filled with vitality, and your talent is extraordinary …"

The way she looked at Gu Chen changed. She did not understand what this cousin of hers had experienced. How could a normal person's body be so abnormal!

"The Heaven Burial Continent is suppressed, and this brat's Tyrannical Bone has been broken, but he still cultivated to this level …"

Gu Lian Yue's heart was in turmoil.

On the way to Penglai Deity Island, she had heard a lot about the situation. She knew that Gu Chen had won the Sea and Sky Banquet's reward and had turned the Penglai Deity Island upside down with his own strength.

He had even killed a Transcendence Realm cultivator, displaying shocking talent in the eyes of ordinary people.

However, even so, she did not think much of it.

Not to mention the fact that it was a piece of cake for the Primordial Spirit Continent's top ten geniuses, even among the second-tier geniuses, many people could do it.

Her Gu Clan's bloodline was extremely powerful, so it was not a big deal to be able to do this. Instead, this cousin of hers was only in the Celestial Realm, which was somewhat unsatisfactory.

However, now that she knew that Gu Chen's Tyrannical Ether Bone had been broken long ago, and considering the special situation of the Kunlun Continent, her thoughts completely changed!

To have such strength even after losing the Tyrannical Ether Bone, this cousin of hers was probably not mediocre, but a peerless genius!

If he had the same cultivation resources and conditions as his peers in the clan, it was hard to imagine what he would have achieved!
