Chapter 631

Gu Chen had killed many geniuses of the thirteen immortal sects, but only Zuo Chunqiu and Gao Mingjian had survived.

He had brought great losses to the thirteen immortal sects, seriously damaging the traditional alliance and friendship between the Gu clan and the thirteen immortal sects.

On that day, Wu Lingxian and Penglai Island Master disguised as a mysterious person helped Gu Chen. The leaders of the thirteen immortal sects had suspected that the mysterious person was from the Gu clan, which caused serious suspicion and distrust.

Gu Xuanwu hadn't helped the thirteen immortal sects that day, which made things worse. The thirteen immortal sects all demanded an explanation from the Gu clan.

Not long after that, Gu Xuanwu had voluntarily resigned from the position of clan leader, which calmed the anger of the thirteen immortal sects.

Gu Yuanshan had attacked Gu Chen that day and gained the trust and support of the thirteen immortal sects. In addition, his status in the clan wasn't low, so he had become the new clan leader.

Cousin Lian Yue didn't explain the details of the transfer of power in the letter, but Gu Chen could sense a conspiracy between the lines.

How could the Gu clan step down just because the thirteen immortal sects objected to the clan leader's position?

This was probably more of an internal struggle of the Gu clan, and it was definitely related to Gu Yuanshan.

Gu Yuanshan had probably made some secret agreement with the thirteen immortal sects in exchange for their support. At the same time, he had used his influence to force the clan leader to abdicate.

He was the clan leader's uncle and had helped Gu Xuanwu become the clan leader. Why did he want to replace him now?

This meant that Gu Xuanwu was no longer in line with the interests of the Lingtai Clan, so he had decided to do it himself.

Gu Chen shook his head. Right now, the Gu clan was probably in a mess.

With someone like Gu Yuanshan, who always considered the Lingtai Clan as the clan leader, the six bloodlines of the Gu clan would sooner or later have more divisions.

Gu Chen read the letter to the end. After learning that Gu Yuanshan had become the clan leader, he had immediately announced that he and the thirteen immortal sects had joined forces to arrest him!

Gu Chen sneered. As expected, he was in cahoots with the thirteen immortal sects. No wonder he could get their support.

As such, Gu Chen's path of returning to the Gu Clan had been completely cut off. He had even become the target of public criticism. Being hunted down by the 68 Immortal Sects and the Gu Clan meant that he was being hunted down by the entire continent.

Gu Chen didn't care. He had already left the Gu Clan and didn't want to go back. As for Gu Yuanshan, he would deal with him sooner or later.

A cold light flashed in Gu Chen's eyes as he put away the letter he had finished reading. He then left the courtyard and walked towards Wu Lingxian's residence.

He decided to pay a visit to the Deep Demon Sea to mourn his father and try his best to find his remains and bring them back home.

If he was alive, he wanted to see him. If he was dead, he wanted to see his corpse. His father should not have been buried in the soil of this foreign land.

Gu Chen arrived at Wu Lingxian's residence and expressed his intentions.

"To the Deep Demonic Sea? I've spent quite a bit of time there, so I know the place very well. "

Wu Lingxian did not object. Instead, he introduced the situation there to Gu Chen.

"The Deep Demon Sea is a place of exile. It's the place with the thinnest Essence Qi of Heaven and Earth on the Primordial Spirit Continent.

"Its depths are connected to the Heaven Pit Earth Eye, and the Heaven Pit Earth Eye is the most dangerous place on the Primordial Spirit Continent and even the entire Ancient Planet Cang Huang."

When Wu Lingxian said this, a complicated look appeared in his eyes. Gu Chen could keenly sense that he seemed to have a very special feeling for the Deep Demon Sea and the Heaven Pit Earth Eye.

"Remember, when you go to the Deep Demon Sea, don't go to the Heaven Pit Earth Eye. It's too dangerous there. Even immortals don't return. Occasionally, there are people who come out alive. I don't know what they lost … "

He murmured.

Gu Chen nodded seriously. From Wu Lingxian's tone, it seemed that he had been there before. He chose to believe in his advice.

"Other than the Heaven Pit Earth Eye, the Deep Demon Sea is a good place." Wu Lingxian seemed to have thought of something and smiled.

"Didn't Senior say that the Essence Qi of Heaven and Earth Eye is thin there? How can it be a good place? "Gu Chen didn't understand.

"If you want to cultivate properly, that place is definitely not a good place. Even if you obediently cultivate in your cave abode, you might still be killed for no reason, and the reason is simply because the passersby don't like you."

"But you're not going there to cultivate. Other than looking for your father, you can also help the Martial Arts Hall recruit soldiers."

Wu Lingxian chuckled. Why didn't he think of going there to recruit talents? There must be a lot of cultivators who had enmity with the 68 Immortal Sects there!

"You might not know this, but the Deep Demon Sea is called the place of exile because many cultivators who are wanted by the major sects of the Primordial Spirit Continent are gathered there.

"Those people are not accepted by the major sects of the Primordial Spirit Continent for various reasons. They have no choice but to run to the Deep Demon Sea to hide.

"Because the Deep Demon Sea is really a worthless place, and the terrain there is complicated and dangerous. It is close to the Heaven Pit Earth Eye. Even the 68 Immortal Sects are not willing to set foot there. Therefore, those people have a place to live.

"Over time, the Deep Demon Sea developed. As the saying goes, unruly people come from barren mountains and unruly rivers. Most of the cultivators there are fugitives with low morals but extremely strong strength."

Gu Chen understood. The Martial Arts Hall wanted to develop but lacked manpower. Now that the Primordial Spirit Continent was mostly in the 68 Immortal Sects' sphere of influence, it was difficult for them to gather manpower in a short period of time. Therefore, Wu Lingxian set his sights on the fiendish cultivators in the Deep Demon Sea.

"If it is like what Senior said, that group of people is probably hard to educate. Even if they are recruited into the Martial Arts Hall, they will be malignant tumors after a long time."

Gu Chen thought about it. Since he had become the Deputy Hall Master who had no one below him, he had to consider the future of the Martial Arts Hall.

"That's right. However, the Deep Demon Sea is not a weak force. It has been neglected for a long time. If we can integrate it, our Martial Arts Hall will be able to make up for the lack of foundation.

"We don't really want them to join us. Occasionally, we can recruit some suitable ones into the Martial Arts Hall and nurture them. As for the rest, we can just order them around like slaves.

"This is the rule of the Deep Demon Sea. The law of the jungle is supreme there. Those with stronger fists have the final say."

Wu Lingxian said in a domineering manner.

Gu Chen frowned. It turned out that the Deep Demon Sea was so chaotic and dangerous. Why did his father, who was seriously injured when he left the Gu Clan, go to such a place?

Was there a hidden reason behind all of this?

While Gu Chen was thinking, Wu Lingxian continued. "This is a test for you. If you can successfully integrate the entire Deep Demon Sea into the Martial Arts Hall, I will teach you the martial arts manual.

"Your physical body is very strong. You are obviously not at the Dharma Body Realm, but your strength is comparable to that of an Dharma Body Realm. In fact, you are a great seedling to cultivate the martial dao.

"It is a pity that you cultivate too many things, and it is impossible for you to abandon other orthodoxies to focus on the martial dao. Therefore, I didn't teach you any martial arts during these three months.

"This is an opportunity. If you can perform well, I will teach you a few powerful combat skills. Together with your physical strength, your strength will definitely increase greatly.
