Chapter 638

"I am Big Head Mo. What can I do for you, my little friend?"

An old man in the corner who was not affected by the gravity said calmly while smoking a pipe.

Gu Chen looked at him and found that this person's head was extremely big. No wonder he had such a nickname.

He retracted the gravity and walked slowly towards Big Head Mo.

The Demonic Cultivators who were suppressed on the ground immediately got up, not daring to stand in Gu Chen's way.

They lived on the edge of a knife all year round and had a sharp eye for people. They knew that the young man in front of them was not easy to deal with and that they would not gain any advantage against him, so none of them dared to pursue the matter.

The tavern soon became noisy again, as if nothing had happened.

Gu Chen sat down in front of Big Head Mo. "I was recommended by Elder Tan. I need your help with something."

"What is it? My price is not cheap, "Big Head Mo replied with a grin.

"I want information on the Gu clansmen who died in the fire in Lugang Ancient City two years ago. The more detailed, the better."

Big Head Mo's eyes turned pensive. "Almost all the cultivators who were related to that incident were killed by the Gu clan. Even if there were some who escaped, they did not dare to talk about it for fear that the Gu clan would come looking for them again. I'm afraid it will not be easy to find clues."

"Money is not a problem," Gu Chen said indifferently.

Big Head Mo laughed. "It's not a problem of money. It's just that it has not been peaceful outside recently. I have sent many people out. This matter will be difficult to investigate. I'm afraid it will take a lot of time."

"How long will it take?" Gu Chen frowned.

"At least half a month. It would not be strange if it takes a few months."

Gu Chen was very dissatisfied with this speed. His whereabouts had been exposed. The longer he delayed, the more variables there would be.

However, he had no better idea and could only say, "Alright then. Investigate this matter as soon as possible. If you can complete the task within half a month, I will double your reward. "

"Alright, deal," Big Head Mo said readily and poured a glass of wine for Gu Chen.

"Actually, if you are in a hurry to find out about this matter, there is a way that might be faster."

"I would like to hear the details."

"Almost all the people drinking in my tavern are the local tyrants of Deer Harbor Ancient City. They know everything that happened here very well. Perhaps some of them know about this matter."

"But your actions just now have offended them, I'm afraid …" Boss Mo paused.

"Everyone, I apologize for offending you earlier. Today, I will pay for your drinks. Drink to your heart's content."

Gu Chen's voice echoed throughout the tavern.

"Alright! How generous! "

"In that case, I'm going to drink to my heart's content!"

The demonic cultivators in the tavern immediately cheered.

"The liquor here isn't cheap." Boss Mo looked at Gu Chen in surprise. This person introduced by Old Tan had an unusual aura.

"I don't lack money," Gu Chen answered without hesitation.

…

For the next few days, Gu Chen spent all his time in Boss Mo's tavern.

He waited for the results of Boss Mo's investigation while also taking the initiative to contact the local tyrants here.

Because he was generous and drank to his heart's content, many people soon knew that there was a young demonic cultivator called Chen Gu here.

Gu Chen blended into the environment of the Demon Forest Sea. He found that although the demonic cultivators here were cruel and sinister, at least they didn't play the hypocritical tricks of the Immortal Sect cultivators, which was to his liking.

He chatted with many cultivators from all over the world. Although he didn't get any clues about his father, he gained a lot of knowledge.

The demonic cultivators talked loudly every day. This was the gathering and distribution center of the Demon Forest Sea.

"Recently, the news from the depths of the Demon Forest Sea has caused quite a commotion. It is said that a mysterious ancient corpse has appeared there. It is wandering the earth and has brought trouble to many people."

"I have also heard of this matter. It is said that there is more than one ancient corpse wandering there. It is extremely powerful, and many sects have fallen in their hands."

"A few days ago, the people of the Evil Ridge seemed to have encountered an ancient corpse in the depths. It is said that they suffered heavy losses. Even Old Man Tan, who has not participated in the affairs of the Evil Ridge for a long time, was called back. It can be seen how serious the situation is."

In the past few days, everyone was talking about a rumor from the depths of the Deep Demon Sea.

From them, Gu Chen found out why Old Man Tan left in a hurry that day. He also learned of his identity.

He was a member of the famous Evil Ridge of the Deep Demon Sea. It was said that he was one of the eight great evildoers.

Gu Chen listened with interest to the rumors about the ancient corpses. These rumors were strange and dazzling, and only a small portion of the demonic cultivators in the Deep Demon Sea were spreading.

"Where did those ancient corpses come from? It is said that they are extremely powerful. Almost all the people who encountered them died. "

"It is just an alarmist. If all the people who encountered them died, how could this news spread? In my opinion, it might just be some people playing tricks. "

Some people were worried, and some people snorted.

"Don't look down on those wandering corpses. Winter is coming! Their numbers are increasing, and the range of their wandering is gradually expanding. Sooner or later, they will engulf the entire Dark Demon Sea, and we will lose our lives! "

In the corner, a cultivator with disheveled hair was drunk, and he suddenly shouted loudly. After he finished speaking, he lay on the table and actually fell asleep.

Everyone burst into laughter upon seeing this. Gu Chen also smiled but didn't say anything.

After staying in the tavern for many days and getting familiar with each other, a shifty-eyed middle-aged man took the initiative to look for Gu Chen.

"I heard that you are looking for information about the Gu clansman from two years ago?" he asked Gu Chen in a low voice.

Gu Chen's eyes lit up. After waiting for so long, was there finally a harvest?

He nodded, and the middle-aged man laughed mischievously. "I know that there is someone who personally experienced that incident, but he is my friend. He hid this matter very well, and he was afraid that the Gu clansman would find trouble with him. So, if I tell you … "

"How much do you want?" Gu Chen interrupted him.

The middle-aged man immediately and carefully reported a number.

"Okay," Gu Chen answered calmly.

"Also, I won't personally bring you to him, and after you find him, you can't say that I told you about this," the middle-aged man reminded.

Gu Chen agreed to all his conditions, and to show his sincerity, he even gave him half of the reward.

"What about the other half?" The middle-aged man held a big bag of Raw Crystals, his face full of joy.

"The other half of the reward will be given after I confirm that what you said is true," Gu Chen answered.

He wouldn't give him all of the money just because of a few words from the middle-aged man. The remaining half of the reward, depending on whether the middle-aged man was telling the truth or not, could be Raw Crystals, or a sharp sword that pierced through the throat.

"Okay, okay. Listen carefully, that person's nickname is War Ghost, and he is the Minister of Offerings of the Wind Demon Auction House in the city. He is extremely strong, and is a cultivator of the Dharmakaya realm. He is considered a top figure in the Dark Demon Sea, so you better be careful when you ask him. "

The middle-aged man was afraid that Gu Chen wouldn't be able to return, so he reminded him.

Gu Chen carefully remembered what the middle-aged man said. For the first time in many days, he left the tavern and went directly to the auction house where the War Ghost was.
