Chapter 634

Elder Tan's words were very different from the impression Gu Chen had of his father. He couldn't help but frown.

Did Elder Tan hear it from someone else, or was there a hidden reason?

Why his father came to the Deep Demon Sea was a mystery. Gu Chen realized that he could only find out the truth when he arrived at Deer Harbor Ancient City.

Gu Chen didn't ask any more questions. The flying ship flew steadily above the Deep Demon Sea.

The cultivators on the ship were all heading to Deer Harbor Ancient City. After half a day, Gu Chen roughly identified them from the conversations around him.

These people were from the Vast Moon Region, which was connected to the Deep Demon Sea. They were cultivators from some of the local clans and sects.

The young lady, Mu Mengjia, who spoke to him earlier, was from the ancient Mu Clan, which was rather famous in the Vast Moon Region.

The Vast Moon Region was mainly the territory of the Supreme Vast Immortal Sect and the Moon Palace. Therefore, the local clans and sects respected them.

The journey was boring. Many cultivators chatted and talked about the current situation of the Immortal Spirit Continent.

"Since the shocking Immortal Ascension Grand Meet three months ago, Wu Lingxian and Demon King Gu Chen haven't made any moves."

"It's been three months. The Martial Arts Hall has laid low. I thought they would make some big moves."

A few cultivators discussed with a regretful tone. They looked like they were watching a good show.

Although they were under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Vast Immortal Sect and the Moon Palace, many small forces didn't have any loyalty. In their opinion, they had been exploited by the 68 Immortal Sects for a long time and had to pay expensive taxes. They all hoped that the situation of the continent would change.

"The Immortal Ascension Grand Meet was a hot topic. The Vast Moon Region heard a lot of rumors, but I don't know if they are true or false. I heard that Gu Chen was only 64 years old, but he defeated the nine prodigies by himself. I wonder if it was exaggerated? "

Someone couldn't help but ask.

"It wasn't exaggerated at all. The Old Man attended the meet and witnessed the great battle with his own eyes."

An old man joined in the conversation. Everyone looked at him in surprise.

This old man must be quite capable to be able to attend the meet.

Everyone surrounded him and asked about the Immortal Ascension Grand Meet. Even Mu Mengjia's eyes lit up as she listened to the old man's story.

"That day, the eight great geniuses led by Zuo Chunqiu from the Tiandao Sect and Gao Mingjian from the Regal Sword Sect joined forces to suppress that Demon King Gu Chen. Unexpectedly, Gu Chen didn't even try to escape. With a flip of his hand, he took out a Golden Holy Sword and took the initiative to attack.

"Eight Heaven's Favorites ganged up on one person, but in the end, two of them were seriously injured, and the other six were all killed. That Demon King is really unparalleled, and his aura is overwhelming!"

The old man sighed. Although no one had personally witnessed the battle, they knew from the old man's words that the rumors were not exaggerated at all.

The Ten Heaven's Favorites have been famous on the mainland for a long time. Even in this remote area, their stories were spread. However, nine of them were knocked off their pedestals by the same person. This was too shocking.

"I really want to meet that Demon King. He's so handsome." That girl, Mu Mengjia, revealed a look of yearning.

"Mengjia, he's a demon. He kills without batting an eyelid. You still want to see him?" Another young man said with jealousy.

"So what if he's a demon? We're about the same age as him, but he's already famous in the continent and is recognized as the number one of the younger generation. "

Mu Mengjia replied and continued to ask the old man about Gu Chen, including his appearance, figure, and so on.

Gu Chen listened in the corner. His heart was as still as water, as if none of this had anything to do with him.

The flying ship traveled on the desolate land for two days. During this period, they encountered several groups of ferocious cultivators who tried to rob the people on the flying ship.

But after Elder Tan showed up, these people gave up their plans.

Elder Tan seemed to be quite famous in the Deep Demon Sea. Even the ferocious demonic cultivators didn't want to offend him.

This made Gu Chen feel that the travel expenses were really worth it. It saved him a lot of trouble.

Two days later, the group finally arrived at the ancient city of Deer Harbor. Looking from afar, most of the buildings in the city were old and weathered.

Instead of calling it a city, it was better to say that it was a ruin.

But it was such a city that Gu Chen and the others saw the most people they had encountered since entering the Deep Demon Sea. The city was filled with a large number of cultivator auras.

As soon as the flying ship arrived at the gate of the ancient city of Deer Harbor, a man as strong as a bear came to find Elder Tan.

"Elder Tan, something big has happened. You have to come with me as soon as possible." The strong man looked solemn as he whispered a few words in Elder Tan's ear.

Elder Tan's eyes turned cold as he nodded. "Wait a moment."

Elder Tan quickly told everyone on the ship that they had arrived at the ancient city of Deer Harbor, but because he had some matters to deal with, he couldn't bring them along on the return journey.

This immediately caused some people to be dissatisfied. Originally, they agreed to send them to and from the Deep Demon Sea safely. Why did he change his mind now? Didn't they say that this old man always did what he said?

Some people didn't seem to care because the old man promised to return half of the money.

Along the way, many people had gained experience and felt that it wasn't that difficult to return safely. If they could save money, why not?

Elder Tan didn't care about those who protested and returned the money to everyone one by one.

He also returned half of the money to Gu Chen, which surprised Gu Chen because he only said that he would bring him to the ancient city of Deer Harbor and didn't say that he would take him away.

"Elder Tan seems to be a little anxious. Did something happen?" Gu Chen asked curiously.

"It's nothing."

Elder Tan shook his head, clearly not wanting to talk about this matter. However, he had a good impression of Gu Chen along the way. After some thought, he said to him.

"Little friend, since you are here to look for someone, you must need the help of the locals. There is a tavern in the ancient city of Deer Harbor. The manager, Boss Mo, is a good friend of the Old Man for many years. If you have any problems, you can look for him. As long as you give him enough money, I believe he will help you."

"Thank you for the reminder, Elder Tan. I will remember it." Gu Chen said gratefully. He was indeed in need of manpower.

After Elder Tan finished speaking, he left in a hurry with the burly man, leaving Gu Chen and a large group of people outside the ancient city of Deer Harbor.

Gu Chen was about to enter the city when Mu Mengjia and her companions walked over.

"Hey, Chen Gu, do you want to come with us on the way back?" Mu Mengjia asked.

Because Elder Tan wouldn't be around when they returned, the group felt that it would be safer to go with more people, so they thought of Gu Chen.

Although the other party was a hothead and didn't have much experience in the outside world, he was rich.

If they could pull him along, they could spend less money to find a ferryman on the way back.

Gu Chen glanced at the group of boys and girls and then looked at the guards they brought. "Is this all you have?"
