Chapter 654
The surroundings were quiet and safe. It was as if everything that had happened was just a dream.
The eight villains collapsed on the ground with lingering fear. Only then did they realize that their bodies were covered in cold sweat.
Gu Chen stood there, his ancestor's words echoing in his head.
What did the impending disaster of the Ancient Sky Yellow Planet mean? A corpse tide?
They asked him to gather everyone's power to stop him. Who was this person?
Everything happened so suddenly that Gu Chen was confused.
But that bloodline connection was real. Gu Chen didn't think that so many ancestors of the Gu Clan were buried in the Heaven Pit Earth Eye.
"What should we do now?"
After the shock, the eight villains looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
The immortal corpse's power made them feel despair. If the immortal corpse also left the Heaven Pit Earth Eye and entered the Deep Demon Sea, no one could stop it.
"Let's escape. The enemy is too strong. There is no point in staying and fighting," someone suggested.
"Can we escape? Didn't you hear what that person said earlier? The entire Ancient Sky Yellow Planet will be in a disaster. In other words, escaping the Deep Demon Sea and the Immortal Spirit Continent is useless! "
Everyone's hearts were heavy. They would rather believe that the corpse that saved them was an alarmist than face the result he said.
However, the ancient corpses were all in a daze. The Gu Clan's corpses had retained their intelligence, which was enough to show that they were extraordinary.
There was a saying that the words of a dying man were always kind. Would a dead man tell lies?
Everyone's hearts were heavy. The choice they had to make was too difficult.
"Let's leave this place first and return to the Fiend Ridge," Ruan Ji suggested.
Gu Chen went with them. After seeing the immortal corpse, he also gave up on the idea of continuing to search for his father. He needed more companions to enter the Heaven Pit Earth Eye. Otherwise, he would only be courting death if he went alone.
Everyone flew in the air and found that even in the periphery, there were more and more ancient corpses wandering around.
In this half a month, the ancient corpses had begun to spread from the depths to the periphery like locusts. There were probably more than 655,555 of them.
"At this speed, the entire Deep Demon Sea might fall in a few months," Ruan Ji murmured.
Ruan Ji murmured. The others nodded solemnly.
After advancing for several hundred li, they passed by a stone mountain and saw several cultivators flying out from the mountain.
"Are you the seniors of Evil Men's Ridge?"
They asked politely.
"You are?" Ruan Ji, who was in the lead, asked.
"We are cultivators from Wasp Valley. We have been waiting here for a long time under the orders of our seniors."
They explained.
"It's them."
Realization dawned on Ruan Ji and the others. Among the Dharmakayas that fought against the ancient corpse in the Grotto-Heaven Realm was the Wasp Valley Master. It must have been his idea.
"What's the situation outside?"
The group followed the cultivators of Wasp Valley, asking questions along the way.
"The situation is getting worse and worse. The ancient corpses are already gradually leaving the depths. There are traces of ancient corpses less than a hundred miles away from Deer Harbor Ancient City."
"The outside world is currently in an uproar. Everyone is talking about this. Some of the cultivators who came to the Deep Demon Sea to participate in the black market transactions dared not come anymore."
The words of the Wasp Valley cultivator were unexpected. It had only been half a month, yet things had escalated to such an extent.
"Right now, all the major powers of the Deep Demon Sea are discussing how to handle this matter. My seniors asked us to stay here and observe the path of the corpse tide. At the same time, we are also waiting for the seniors. "
"They said that once they see the seniors coming out of the rift valley, they will bring you to Deer Harbor Ancient City immediately. There are already many powers gathered there, and more are arriving one after another. "
Ruan Ji and the others nodded. "Those guys reacted very quickly. It seems like they have been active outside for the past few days. That's good too. Whether we fight or flee, we need to discuss this matter together. "
The eight villains decided to immediately head to Deer Harbor Ancient City to discuss with the various powers of the Deep Demon Sea. Ruan Ji looked at Gu Chen and said.
"Frined Gu, although you don't belong to the Deep Demon Sea, do you want to go with us?"
These days, the eight villains deeply felt Gu Chen's strength. They were convinced by him and called him Fellow Daoist instead of Little Friend.
"It's good to go and take a look."
Gu Chen nodded. It had been a month since they left Deer Harbor Ancient City. He wondered what the situation was like now.
He did not know if the Gu Clan was still searching for him or if they succeeded in killing Zuo Chunqiu.
The group hurried on and returned to Deer Harbor Ancient City a few days later.
When they stepped into the ancient city once more, the entire city was filled with a jittery atmosphere. Cultivators from all walks of life gathered on the streets.
The people from Fiend Ridge went to meet the leaders of the other powers the moment they entered the city. Meanwhile, Gu Chen separated from them and met someone else.
"What's the situation now?"
In a remote alley, Gu Chen asked Gu Bing, who he had placed a life-death restriction on.
"For the past month, under the orders of the clan head, our people are still tracking your whereabouts. However, they have found nothing."
"As for Zuo Chunqiu, our clan's experts have been chasing after him. Half a month ago, Cousin Lian Yue fought with Zuo Chunqiu."
Gu Bing's expression was very reserved in front of Gu Chen.
"Oh? What's the situation? "Gu Chen's eyes fluctuated.
"The two of them had a fierce battle. Cousin Lian Yue broke through while on the brink of death and awakened her fourth Tyrant Bone! Zuo Chunqiu hated that he was no match for her. In the end, he luckily escaped. "
When Gu Bing mentioned Gu Lian Yue, his face was filled with pride and joy.
Gu Lian Yue had awakened four Tyrant Bones at the age of twenty. This was extremely rare in the clan. It meant that from now on, she could be on equal footing with the clan elders.
"Female Tyrant is indeed powerful." Gu Chen smiled when he heard this. He was sincerely happy for Gu Lian Yue.
During the Immortal Ascension Gathering, Gu Lian Yue was suspected to be on the verge of breaking through. Now, she had succeeded.
What surprised him was that Zuo Chunqiu was defeated just like that. He didn't know if he had hidden his strength this time.
"What happened after that?"
"After that, the situation started to get out of control. Our clan increased their efforts to kill Zuo Chunqiu. Meanwhile, Tiandao Sect's men also rushed over and clashed with our clan in various parts of Deep Demon Sea."
"Tiandao Sect's sect master fought with the clan head. As a result, the clan head's injuries worsened."
When Gu Bing said this, Gu Chen was even happier. The poison in Gu Yuanshan's body had definitely not been neutralized yet, but he had clashed with Tiandao Sect's sect master. Presumably, his body's condition was extremely bad.
"After that, Great Elder and the former clan head came to Deep Demon Sea one after another. Now, the conflict between our clan and Tiandao Sect is especially intense."
Gu Bing smiled bitterly. The two top forces of the continent had started fighting. In the past half a month, both sides had suffered casualties.
"What do the thirteen immortal sects think of this matter?"
Gu Chen pondered. Logically speaking, even if there was conflict between Gu clan and Tiandao Sect, because of their alliance, they should stop. However, from Gu Bing's tone, it seemed like things had gotten out of hand.
