Chapter 633

When the young men and women behind him heard this, their eyes were filled with ridicule. The old senior was lying. The money they paid was several times less than the other party.

They didn't expose the old man. The other party had brought them along because he had some relationship with their elders. They would have to rely on him for the rest of the journey. They were afraid that they would be chased off the ship.

When Gu Chen noticed the expressions of the young men and women, he immediately knew that this old man was going to rip him off. However, he didn't care. As long as he could save trouble, this amount of money was still very worthwhile.

"Here, it's for you."

Gu Chen didn't even count. He threw a bag of essence crystals to the old man and boarded the ship.

He could be said to be extremely wealthy. Originally, he had made a fortune by selling the herbs he obtained from the ancestral land. Later, he killed so many cultivators from the sects and obtained all their assets.

The amount of money he gave the old man was not even a drop in the ocean.

"Thank you, young friend. This Old Man's name is Tan Cai. May I know your name?" The old man asked with a satisfied smile after counting the essence crystals.

"My name is Chen Gu."

Gu Chen replied. Then, he walked to a corner and sat down. He didn't have any intention of chatting with the others on the ship.

Old Tan's ship continued to move forward. Just as he said, he had traveled to the Deep Demon Sea for many years and knew this place very well.

Some of the sceneries looked similar to others, but he could tell where they led to. He introduced them to the cultivators on the ship along the way.

From his words, Gu Chen knew that he specialized in ferrying cultivators from other regions of the continent to and from the Deep Demon Sea safely. He earned a lot of essence crystals by doing this.

Gu Chen didn't expect that there would be so many people besides desperadoes in the Deep Demon Sea. He couldn't help but ask Old Tan the reason.

"According to the Old Man's experience, there are probably three types of people who come to the Deep Demon Sea."

"The first type are desperadoes who were forced to flee here. The second type appeared because of the first type of people. "

"The reason fugitives fled here is usually because they stole the sect's treasures or killed people they shouldn't have killed. After these people came to the Deep Demon Sea, if the treasures they stole are of no use to them, they would think of ways to get rid of them as soon as possible. This attracted some powers to travel thousands of miles to purchase them."

"Other than you, everyone else on this ship is going to Lukang Ancient City to participate in the auction. There will be a batch of treasures that cannot see the light of day being auctioned there, and many people are eyeing them."

Hearing Old Tan's explanation, Gu Chen suddenly understood.

The Deep Demon Sea was somewhat similar to Baijing Prefecture in that it had a black market.

"Old senior, what is the third type of person?"

The girl called Mu Mengjia was fascinated by the story and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"The third type of people are here to search for fortuitous encounters. These people have already disregarded life and death. They only came to the Deep Demon Sea to enter that Sinkhole's Earth Core and search for the legendary Immortal Fate."

"This kind of person is the most admirable, but also the most lamentable. The Old Man has carried many of these people into the Deep Demon Sea, but none of them have ever returned alive."

Old Tan sighed.

"Isn't the Sinkhole's Earth Core a notoriously dangerous place? What kind of fortuitous encounters can be found there? "Many people on the ship were filled with curiosity.

"Heh, most of the people in the outside world only know that the Sinkhole's Earth Core is a place of no return, but the local cultivators of the Deep Demon Sea have heard of some secrets."

The old man revealed a mysterious smile.

"What secrets?" Everyone pricked up their ears to listen.

"Heh, I can't tell you this secret for free. You have to pay."

Old Tan's words changed, causing everyone who had their appetites hooked to beat their chests and stamp their feet, gnashing their teeth in hatred.

"How many crystals?" Gu Chen was a little interested and inquired about the price.

Seeing this, the other guests on the ship were all speechless. There was really someone who wanted to pay to listen to Old Tan's story?

Putting aside whether what he said was true or not, even if there really was a fortuitous encounter in that Sinkhole's Earth Core, the people who entered had all died. What was the point of knowing about it?

Everyone knew that Old Tan was especially good at ripping people off, so they were unwilling to fall for his tricks.

Sure enough, Old Tan quoted a high price to Gu Chen, causing everyone to secretly click their tongues.

It was just a glib talk, but Old Tan really dared to demand an exorbitant price!

"Here."

Gu Chen casually threw another bag of crystals to Old Tan, and Old Tan immediately beamed with joy. The other people on the ship were secretly curious about Gu Chen's origins.

This person looked very ordinary, and he was like a hothead before. No one expected him to be so generous.

Surnamed Chen, everyone couldn't help but connect the dots. There didn't seem to be any cultivation family with the surname Chen in the Vast Moon Region.

"Little friend is really straightforward. It's really a pleasure doing business with you."

The more Old Tan looked at Gu Chen, the more he liked him. He secretly transmitted his voice to him, telling him the secrets he knew.

"Although the Sinkhole's Earth Core is dangerous, the cultivators of the Deep Devil Sea have seen the continent's peak powerhouses enter more than once in the past."

"Those people included the famous leaders of the 68 Immortal Sects in history, as well as the Gu Clan's supreme powerhouses. Any one of them had once led an era."

"It's said that they all stepped into the Sinkhole's Earth Core. Although they never came back, there are so many peerless powerhouses willing to take the risk to enter the Sinkhole's Earth Core. There must be amazing treasures hidden inside."

After listening to Old Tan's words, Gu Chen's heart stirred up waves of ripples.

Even the Gu Clan's past patriarchs had stepped into the Sinkhole's Earth Core?

Why did so many powerhouses enter there? Was this a rumor or the truth?

"Heh, little friend, just listen to these strange rumors. Don't take it seriously. That Sinkhole's Earth Core is an ominous place. Who knows how many people have died in it."

Old Tan sighed.

Gu Chen nodded. When he thought of Old Tan's understanding of the Deep Devil Sea, his heart stirred.

"Two years ago, something happened in Lukang Ancient City. I wonder if Old Uncle has any impression of it?"

Old Tan glanced at Gu Chen in surprise and said casually. "Are you referring to the matter of the Gu Clan going to war and killing many cultivators within a thousand-mile radius of Lukang Ancient City?"

Gu Chen's expression turned cold. This old man was really inquisitive!

"That's right. Does Old Uncle know the ins and outs of this matter? I'm willing to spend more money to listen to it, "Gu Chen said.

"The Old Man doesn't know much about this matter, so I won't charge you money. I'll tell you for free. The Old Man only knows that a member of the Gu Clan died in Lukang Ancient City. That was why the Gu Clan flew into a rage and massacred that place. "

"Since that time, Lukang Ancient City had been in a state of desolation for a long time. It was only half a year ago that the people gradually recovered."

"I heard that that person fought with a group of cultivators and was unfortunately buried in a sea of fire. Does Old Uncle have any idea about the specific cause of the conflict?"

Gu Chen's expression was serious and solemn.

He wanted to know who killed his father. Although the Gu Clan had already made a move, it was hard to guarantee that no fish had escaped the net.

If there was, he would definitely drag them out and tear them into pieces.

"Oh, the Old Man isn't clear about the specific cause of the conflict, but it seems that it was that member of the Gu Clan who started it."
