Chapter 727

In the dark depths of the planet's core, a huge bonfire was lit. Countless cultivators and mortals were resting there.

They had been traveling in the planet's core for a long time. With Gu Chen's control over gravity, even mortals were fine.

Seeing that it was unlikely for the pursuers to catch up to them, and that everyone was exhausted, Gu Chen ordered them to rest here.

Beside the bonfire, Gu Chen gathered with many old friends and listened to the stories that had happened over the past year.

If one was close enough, they would discover that his expression was constantly grim.

"A year ago, a group of powerful cultivators descended from the sky. They claimed to be from the divine sects. The moment they arrived on the Kunlun continent, they began searching crazily. It was unknown what they were looking for.

"They searched for a few days without finding anything, so they set their sights on the various perilous lands.

"The various perilous lands seemed to be heritage left behind by the divine sects. They retrieved them and took them away. At the same time, they conducted a selection across the continent."

As Shen Xudong spoke, Gu Chen's expression tensed up.

"That selection covered a wide area. The competition between the divine sects was extremely intense. Most of the members of the Stone race and Demonic race were taken away. Many young Fey Monarchs were also chosen to be brought along.

"As for our human race, there were many divine sects vying for the geniuses of the younger generation. According to the information obtained, there were two reasons why they did so.

"Firstly, it was because thirty thousand years ago, many divine sects left behind their heritage on the Kunlun continent. These heritage have long permeated our continent's cultivator world. Many geniuses of the younger generation have inherited them.

"Secondly, it was because the Ancient Planet Cang Huang's cultivation conditions were extremely harsh. Geniuses who managed to achieve something under such adverse circumstances had great potential. They valued their youth, so they decided to take them away and nurture them.

"You know many of the people who were taken away during this process. For example, the South Mountains Fey race's Sun Jinming, the Stone race's Shi Jian, the South Flower Sacred Land's Qi Zeyan, the Azure Wood Manor's Mu Ziyu, and Princess Lanchu …"

Gu Chen could not help but take a deep breath. "Grandfather, how's Lanchu?"

Shen Xudong sighed. "I didn't see Princess Lanchu with my own eyes. I heard it from the Mu clan, and the Mu clan found out from Mu Ziyu. It's said that when the divine sects descended, Princess Lanchu happened to wake up from the dragon nest.

"Princess Lan Chu is a very special one. The one who brought her away wasn't the God Sect, but a powerhouse called the Kunlun God Race. "According to what Mu Ziyu said before she left with the divine sects, the Ji clan has a great background.

"The Ji Clan's ancestor was not born and raised on the Ancient Planet Cang Huang. Instead, he came to the Kunlun Continent with the Kunlun Ruins 85,555 years ago.

"It's said that the people of the Kunlun God race had checked on Princess Lan Chu's bloodline and discovered that her bloodline was showing signs of reversion. Therefore, they brought her away.

"Grandfather's words were shocking. It turned out that the Ji clan had such a great background.

No wonder Huangfu Wuji wanted to kidnap Lanchu back then. It turned out that the Kunlun Ruins had a deep relationship with the Ji clan. Without Lanchu's bloodline, he would not have been able to obtain the power of the dragon vein.

However, he still encountered the even more cunning Man with a bamboo hat, and in the end, he did not obtain anything.

Worry appeared in Gu Chen's eyes when he thought about how Lanchu had been taken away by a force he knew nothing about.

"You don't have to worry too much. Almost all of Princess Lanchu's relatives on the Kunlun Continent are dead. Kunlun can be said to be the only relative who has a blood connection to her.

"Coupled with her extraordinary aptitude, I believe she won't be neglected when she goes to Kunlun. Also, it's said that the green ox has gone with her. It was sent by you to protect Princess Lanchu. With it around, Princess Lanchu won't be alone. "

Shen Xudong comforted. He knew that his grandson and Princess Lanchu were in love. If Princess Lanchu had not fallen into a coma and Gu Chen did not have much time left to live, the two of them would have already tied the knot.

Now that Gu Chen had finally returned, Princess Lanchu had been taken away by her own clansmen. Fate really made a fool of people. Good things were often strewn with setbacks.

Shen Xudong's consolation was effective. Gu Chen nodded.

Whether it was Lanchu's parents or brothers, all her relatives had been killed by the Huangfu clan. It was not a bad thing to be able to find her blood relatives now.

Moreover, Gu Chen was very confident in Lanchu's aptitude. Back then, when he helped Lanchu change her fate, he mobilized the Kunlun Dragon Vein's power to help her. Her physique had improved further.

Since Kunlun valued her aptitude and they were relatives, there was no reason for them to neglect her.

Compared to the others who were taken away by the Divine Sects, her starting point could be said to be very high.

"Sect Master, other than Princess Lanchu, my Heavenly Star Sect's eight saintesses were also taken away."

Huang Pingzhang smiled bitterly.

Lu Yichen, Zhao Rou and the rest of the eight girls were very young and had high aptitude. Especially Lu Yichen who had the Extreme Frozen Heart, she was the best among them.

The Divine Sects could not find what they wanted in Ancient Cang Huang Star. It seemed that they did not want to lose anything, so they simply took away the young cultivators who they thought had some potential.

Lu Yichen and the other seven girls were taken away by a sect called Fallen Flowers Divine Sect. This sect seemed to be made up of all female disciples, which was very special among the Divine Sects.

The list of people who were taken away was almost all the young people of Kunlun Continent with some potential that Gu Chen knew. Even some of the original Celestial Court's Daoists and Quasi-Daoists were taken away.

Apart from that, many of the older generation's powerhouses were also astounding cultivators when they were young. They might have already passed the prime age for cultivation, but they were not taken away by the Divine Sects.

The only young genius who was not taken away by the Divine Sects was actually Ye Qingshuang!

She seemed to have disappeared from the world in this one year. Be it the Shen Clan, the Celestial Court or the Heavenly Star Sect, none of them heard any news about her.

Gu Chen did not care about Ye Qingshuang's whereabouts because he had a more pressing problem at the moment.

"Grandfather, after talking for so long, you still haven't told me where my mother and grandfather are? According to what you said just now, my mother and grandfather should not have been taken away, right? Why don't I see them? "

Gu Chen had been thinking about the whereabouts of his mother and grandfather, but he had too many things to deal with, so he could not divert his attention to look for them.

He originally thought that they should be with the Heavenly Star Sect or the Shen Clan, but when he arrived at the resting place, he found that they were not there at all!

Seeing that Gu Chen finally asked about this matter, Huang Pingzhang, Yuchi Zhong and the others all showed a look of shame. Shen Xudong also looked at them.

"Sect Master, it's like this."
