Chapter 748

"Ah!"

The cultivator from Thousand Faces Temple screamed miserably. His screams became softer and softer until he finally stopped.

Gu Chen closed his eyes and silently sensed the information he had obtained from the cultivator's head.

From this person's memory, Thousand Faces Temple didn't have any useful information about the Overlord Body. Not only them, but many other forces were also like this.

Since he couldn't find the information he wanted from the Man with a Bamboo Hat and the Heart Ape Clan, Gu Chen tried to start from Wu Lingxian.

He didn't expect that he would find something fishy in this cultivator's memory.

These cultivators had lived on the Black Dragon Star for a long time. Because of the special relationship they had with the Thousand Faces Temple, they knew everything that happened on the Black Dragon Star.

According to Gu Chen's deep excavation of this person's memory, he didn't find the name Wu Lingxian, but he heard about a force called the Martial Arts Hall!

It was said that about half a year ago, a sect called the Martial Arts Hall suddenly appeared on the Black Dragon Planet!

Because human ancient martial artists had always been rare, Thousand Faces Temple's intelligence network was very precise, so they paid attention to it.

However, the people from Thousand Faces Temple had never seen Wu Lingxian appear beside the Man with a Bamboo Hat. Therefore, they didn't know about the relationship between him and the Overlord Body.

"The timing matches. Was this Martial Arts Hall created by Wu Lingxian?"

Gu Chen squinted his eyes and casually extinguished the last person's spirit. Then, he flicked a few fireballs with his fingers and burned the three corpses into ashes.

He completely destroyed their corpses to prevent others from finding the place where they died.

After doing this, Gu Chen's appearance began to change greatly. From his original valiant and handsome face, he became extremely ordinary.

His skeletal frame also shrunk slightly, making his body shorter than before.

He changed into a green robe, and he looked completely different from the previous Gu Chen.

Gu Chen didn't want to attract a lot of trouble after killing the people from Thousand Faces Temple. It was better to change his appearance to make it more convenient.

He took a detour and returned to the Black Dragon City. Then, he asked someone to find out the location of the Martial Arts Hall.

Although the name 'Martial Arts Hall' was in the cultivator's memory, because it was an unranked sect and only had a special Dao tradition, the Thousand Faces Temple did not pay much attention to it.

Gu Chen had no choice but to look for it himself. After spending a lot of effort in the city, he finally found the so-called hall entrance of the Martial Arts Hall in a remote alley in the west of the city.

Although it was called a hall, it was just a courtyard. There was an old man standing guard at the entrance, looking sleepy.

"Old man, I'd like to pay a visit to the Palace Lord." Gu Chen stepped forward and asked.

"Hmm?" The old man woke up from his sleep and looked at Gu Chen in surprise. "The Old Man has been guarding this place for more than half a year, and someone really came here to look for him? What's your name? "

Gu Chen hesitated for a moment and said. "My name is Li Menglong."

Considering that this place might be closely related to the Man with a Bamboo Hat and Wu Lingxian, Gu Chen didn't want to expose his identity.

The Man with a Bamboo Hat knew both Gu Chen and Chen Gu very well, so he borrowed the name of the Penglai Island Master.

"Hmm? You are not the person I'm waiting for. Sorry. "The old man looked disappointed. Then, he closed his eyes and went back to sleep.

Gu Chen frowned. From the old man's tone, he seemed to be waiting for someone here under someone's order.

But who could he be waiting for?

How many people would know the name of the Martial Arts Hall outside the Ancient Planet?

"Old man, I'm sorry. I made a mistake. My real name is Gu Chen!"

Gu Chen thought for a while and told his real name with clenched teeth.

"Gu Chen? You are Gu Chen? "

When the old man heard that, he immediately jumped up, looking like he was dancing with joy.

"According to that person, I thought I would have to wait for ten years or even a hundred years. I didn't expect that I would meet you in just a few months. This is great!"

Gu Chen didn't expect the old man to be waiting for him. His heart stirred. What the hell was Wu Lingxian doing?

"Come, come, come. Follow me!"

The old man led Gu Chen through the door and into the hall. Then, he took out a box from his clothes.

"A person named Wu Lingxian asked the Old Man to give this box to you," the old man said.

Gu Chen was even more surprised. What was going on with Wu Lingxian? Was this another scheme of the Man with a Bamboo Hat?

He was about to take the box, but the old man held it tightly. "You have to promise me that after you get this box, you will remove the Life and Death Restriction in my mind."

"Half a year ago, the Old Man accidentally offended Wu Lingxian. After that, he was placed with the Life and Death Restriction. He was asked to preside over the Martial Arts Hall in this city and guard this box."

"According to him, one day, a person named Gu Chen will come here to look for him. At that time, he will ask me to give him the box. In this way, the Life and Death Restriction in my mind will be removed."

The old man told him the ins and outs of the matter.

The Life and Death Restriction was a restriction that Wu Lingxian taught to Gu Chen to control others. It was very complicated and rare. In the entire Martial Arts Hall, only Gu Chen and Wu Lingxian knew how to do it.

It turned out that Wu Lingxian used such a trick to make the old man willingly guard here. What did he want to give to Gu Chen after going through so much trouble?

Gu Chen agreed to the old man's request, took the box from him, and opened it.

Inside the box was a sealed letter and a small crystal fragment, which seemed to belong to some kind of jade.

Gu Chen opened the letter and looked at it expressionlessly.

"Gu Chen, when you see this letter, it means that you are still alive and have stepped into the vast starry sky. I know you are eager for revenge and are anxious to find your father, but please restrain your thoughts and believe that I will help you. "

Wu Lingxian's first sentence made Gu Chen feel ridiculous. Back then, Wu Lingxian deceived and used him in order to follow the Man with a Bamboo Hat and leave the Pale Yellow Ancient Star.

Gu Chen didn't have any trust in a person like him who could even abandon and forget his own father.

"I know it's hard for you to believe what I said, but I really want to help you and your father. As Ling Fuan, I can only express my gratitude to you for setting up a monument for my father."

Wu Lingxian mentioned his father, Ling Ping, who died with regret, which made Gu Chen a little surprised.

There was a sense of remorse in his words. He admitted his identity as Ling Fuan, which was quite different from his previous indifferent attitude.

Gu Chen was contemplating. What happened that made Wu Lingxian's temperament change?

It was hard to believe that such a person who was so unsentimental suddenly repented and wanted to help him.

Gu Chen continued to read.

"The identity and origin of the Man with a Bamboo Hat are far more terrible than you and I think. I know you are eager to save your father, but you must be patient. I will be your insider."
