Chapter 56

Gu Chen officially became a consecrator of the Huang Clan and had a small courtyard in the Huang Clan.

Every month, the Huang Clan would give him 6,555 crystals, three bottles of low-grade yellow-grade pills, or one bottle of middle-grade yellow-grade pills. In return, Gu Chen promised to provide them with protection.

According to Gu Chen's understanding, this treatment was not inferior to that of the elders of the Wuchen Sect.

Although it was a consecrator, the number of times a cultivator in the Greedy Wolf City could make use of a divine ability could be counted on one hand. Most of the time, Gu Chen could focus on cultivation.

As soon as Huang Fei took over the position of clan leader, she immediately started a drastic reform of the Huang Clan.

As one of the top forces in the Greedy Wolf City, how could such a big movement be hidden from others?

Very soon, many forces in the Greedy Wolf City knew that the Huang Clan's clan leader would be succeeded by a junior of the third generation. They even invited a young cultivator from outside, causing a heated discussion.

Gu Chen was not interested in the internal strife of the Huang Clan. Once he settled down, he only had one thing to do, and that was to find out information about Tiannan City and the Wuchen Sect.

He wanted to know if his mother and Elder Nangong were safe. That night, a large number of assassins from the Underworld God Palace had been mobilized, and the commotion caused should not be small. Even if he was far away in the Baijing Prefecture, he might be able to find some information.

He had thought that it would take some time to find out this information, but he did not expect to get the answer so quickly.

Boom!

The stone table in the courtyard was smashed into powder by Gu Chen's fist. His expression was ferocious, and his eyes were bloodshot. His body trembled, and his aura was as ferocious as a wild beast!

The calamity of the Feng Lin Prefecture!

The thirteen clans were all annihilated!

More than 655,555 people died for no reason!

All sorts of shocking news from the outside world reverberated in his mind, causing his heart to bleed.

"From Sect Leader Wang to ordinary servants, even people from the Purple Firmament Society, Golden Crow Sect, and other sects died for no reason. All of this was for me, Gu Chen. Underworld God Palace, how vicious of you!"

Gu Chen's voice was hoarse, and he was in great pain.

655,555 people!

655,555 people died because of him!

The news from the outside world was that the 68 sects of the Feng Lin Manor had offended some major powers and were uprooted overnight.

The commotion caused by this matter was extremely great. The cultivation sects of the Feng Lin Manor were all annihilated, causing the various prefectures in the Eastern Wilderness to discuss this. Even the sects that were close to the Feng Lin Manor felt insecure.

Of course, Baijing Prefecture had also heard about such a big event. Even after a month, the news did not die down. Thus, it was not difficult for Gu Chen to find out about it.

As for the reason why the thirteen sects of Feng Lin Manor were annihilated and who was the culprit, there were many different opinions. There was no clear conclusion.

Some people said that they had offended a reclusive major character from the Eastern Barren Lands. There were also people who directly guessed that it had something to do with the three great dark powers of the continent. There were even people who said that they had seen assassins from the Celestial Court appearing in Feng Lin Manor.

Only Gu Chen, who knew the truth of the matter, understood that the culprit who had annihilated the thirteen sects was not some reclusive major character, nor was it someone from the Celestial Court or the Netherworld Manor. It could only be the Underworld God Palace!

During the Rising Dragon Ceremony one month ago, Gu Chen had awakened the Tyrannical Ether Bone. It was impossible for the appearance of such a top-notch physique on the continent not to have any news spread.

However, news about the Tyrannical Ether Bone, and even his name, had not appeared in the rumors about the calamity that had befallen Feng Lin Manor.

In fact, it was as if he, Gu Chen, had never existed.

Gu Chen immediately understood what was going on. The Underworld God Palace had done such a heinous thing just to silence them!

They did not want the news of the Tyrannical Ether Bone to leak out and increase their competitors. Thus, they had killed everyone who knew about it!

For this reason, they viewed the lives of 655,555 people as ants!

"I was too naive. Huangfu Wuji and the Underworld God Palace are a hundred times more vicious than I had imagined."

Gu Chen's eyes were filled with grief. So many people had died because of him, and he felt the most terrible in his heart.

Previously, he had been worried that he would be listed as a wanted criminal. Who would have thought that the Underworld God Palace had no intention of letting him appear in this world?

To them, the best outcome for him was perhaps to have his Tyrannical Ether Bone dug out by them and then die a miserable death.

"Huangfu Wuji, the Underworld God Palace, and that Man with a bamboo hat. One day, I, Gu Chen, will definitely make all of you pay the price!"

Gu Chen's eyes were filled with madness. He hammered the ground with all his might, creating a huge pit in his courtyard.

He had a blood feud with Huangfu Wuji, and he had to kill him!

The Underworld God Palace was so vicious, and he had to uproot them by hook or by crook!

That Man with a bamboo hat was an upper echelon of the Underworld God Palace. That day at Feng Lin Residence, he must have been the one who gave the order to massacre. He might even have killed Elder Nangong. Such a person had to die without a doubt!

Gu Chen constantly muttered the name of his enemy. After venting his anger for a long time, he slowly calmed down.

Anger was useless. Before he had the strength to take revenge, all his anger would only bring about bad results.

Therefore, he had to restrain himself!

He had to endure!

He was like the coldest venomous snake, entrenched in the dark, waiting for the day to deal a fatal blow to his enemy!

Gu Chen had completely calmed down. He directly returned to his house, took out the Golden Embryo Pills and other elixirs that Huang Fei had given him, and started to cultivate crazily.

He devoured a large amount of elixirs and took in all the resources he could see. He cherished every breath of time, all for the sake of growing faster.

…

Several days later.

Huang Fei arrived at Gu Chen's residence. When she saw the devastated courtyard, her eyes were filled with worry.

That day, Gu Chen vented his anger. Although the servants outside didn't know what happened, they all gasped when they saw the scene in the courtyard.

Since then, Gu Chen didn't even leave his house. When Huang Fei found out, she was very worried. Hence, she found an excuse to visit him today.

It was normal for cultivators to go into seclusion for a few months. She shouldn't be worried.

But these days, every time she tossed and turned because of her clan's affairs, Gu Chen's figure would always appear in her mind.

Although he was younger than her, he gave her a sense of security. In a situation where there were internal and external troubles, she especially needed a strong shoulder.

"I wonder what happened to Senior Chen?"

At the door, Huang Fei hesitated whether she should knock on the door.

"Jiji!"

A short white figure jumped over the wall and entered the courtyard. It seemed to be in a hurry and was sneaky.

"White ape!"

Huang Fei called out happily. Senior Chen's snow-white little monkey was extremely clever. She liked it very much.

When White Ape heard someone calling him, he got a fright. When he turned and saw that it was Huang Fei, he heaved a sigh of relief.

"Jiji."

White Ape responded a few times and came closer. Huang Fei saw that it was holding a bag in its hand.

"What is this?" she asked curiously.

White Ape had a shifty look on his face. He chuckled and loosened the bag. Suddenly, a pile of things flowed out.

The fragrant smell of medicine filled the air. There was a large pile of medicinal herbs inside, and they looked to be quite old.
