Chapter 804

Gu Chen felt like he was treading on thin ice. Hundreds of thoughts flashed through his mind as he pondered over the God-King's intentions.

He didn't think he'd exposed his identity at any point, so he pretended to be in awe and bowed.

"Greetings, Your Highness. May I know what orders you have for me?"

The Godking of the Yue clan frowned imperceptibly. He had never seen this person before. Normally, he would look down on him, but for some reason, he had a strange feeling when he looked at him now. It was as if he had some sort of connection with him.

He didn't think too much about it and went straight to the point. "What's your relationship with Jiang Xuan?"

Gu Chen's heart skipped a beat. What did the God-King know?

"By the way, the God-King sent a bunch of beauties to Senior Jiang. At that time, Senior Jiang sent them away to talk to me alone. This must've aroused the God-King's suspicions!"

The so-called beauties were both gifts and spies. Gu Chen sighed inwardly at his carelessness. At the same time, he felt relieved.

If the God-King had come for Senior Jiang, then he'd still have some leeway. If he knew about the past, then things wouldn't end well today.

"Daoist Jiang and I are from the same hometown, so we have some friendship," Gu Chen replied after some deliberation.

"Oh?"

The Divine King of the Yue Clan revealed a faint smile. Suddenly, a terrifying pressure spread out and firmly locked onto Gu Chen!

Gu Chen's legs went limp and he pretended to be horrified. "Your Royal Highness, this junior is speaking the truth!"

The Yue Clan's Godking snorted coldly as he looked at his frightened expression. He seemed to be quite satisfied. "Since you're from the same hometown, how confident are you in persuading him to join your sect?"

"This …" Gu Chen's eyes flickered as he tried to guess the God-King's intentions.

"So what if a mere Fire God Sect obtains a Left Path Saint Physique? It'll only bring trouble to yourself. A wise man submits to circumstances. You should know what's best for you. "

The God-King said indifferently.

"Your Highness, you mean …" Gu Chen's eyes narrowed.

"Do you want This King to be too direct?"

The Yue Clan's Godking raised his eyebrows. "Since you have a good relationship with Jiang Xuan, help me capture him. As long as he comes with me, I'll definitely reward you handsomely."

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen heaved a sigh of relief. It turned out that the Yue Clan's Divine King had a favor to ask of him!

Who would have thought that the Yue Clan's Divine King would be so obsessed with Senior Jiang, to the point that he would come looking for him!

Gu Chen immediately thought of a way to brush off the Yue Clan's Godking, but on the surface, he revealed a bitter smile. "Your Royal Highness, I'm also a member of the Fire Perching Divine Sect. If this is known by the sect, I'll be in serious trouble."

Hmph!

When the Yue Clan's Godking heard this, a mountainous and ocean-like aura suddenly rose from his body, and the entire courtyard seemed like it was about to be torn to pieces.

Gu Chen's face turned as pale as paper. He almost knelt on the ground and said timidly. "Junior understands. Junior will do his best to facilitate this matter!"

"You'd better not play any tricks. This king will keep an eye on you. Settle this matter as soon as possible. The sooner Jiang Xuan comes with me, the better it will be for you! "

As the Yue Clan's Godking spoke, he flicked his finger, and a blue Sky-Devouring Demon Insect fell in front of Gu Chen. It was no longer breathing, and could not be more dead!

After saying this, the Yue Clan's Godking turned around and disappeared from Gu Chen's courtyard with a single step.

Gu Chen looked at the Sky-Devouring Demon Insect's corpse on the ground. His panicked expression quickly disappeared, and it was replaced by a gloomy expression!

"What do we do now? You've been targeted by the Godking, and even the Sky-Devouring Demon Insect's trick has been seen through by him. It'll be even more difficult to bring Jiang Xuan away. "

The black dog walked out of the house. It had been watching from the side from the beginning to the end, but it had disguised itself as a harmless woman, so the Yue Clan's Godking did not notice it at all.

"You actually used a Godking's aura to threaten me? Do you think I'll be frightened just like that?"

Gu Chen sneered. He had weathered many storms, so how could he give in so easily? He had merely pretended to be weak.

"That fellow is truly very powerful. You won't be able to deal with him in your current state." The black dog shook its head.

Gu Chen did not respond, and he directly left his residence. "I'll go look for Senior Jiang again!"

Inside Yueyang Inn, Jiang Baiming and Gu Chen met again. When they heard that the Yue Clan's Godking had come looking for them, their expressions changed.

"I didn't expect you to be implicated because of this. Among the three Godkings, the Yue Clan's Godking is the one who has been watching me the most closely. This person also gives me the feeling that he's the most dangerous. To be on the safe side, Gu Chen, it's best that you don't get involved in this matter. "

Jiang Baiming sighed. He had been very happy when Gu Chen had said that he would help him, but when he went back and thought about it carefully, he felt that the possibility of this matter was too low.

It was not that he did not believe in Gu Chen, but the other party's cultivation was even lower than his. How could the other party help him escape the entanglement of the various major factions?

And now that the Yue Clan's Godking had appeared who was determined to get him, he felt that he could no longer be a burden to the younger generation.

"It's too late. Based on the Yue Clan's Godking's tone, if I can't help him convince Senior to surrender to Planet Dong Wu, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave alive." Gu Chen shook his head.

"Isn't this person a little too overbearing?" Jiang Baiming was enraged when he heard this. This was simply pushing a duck onto a perch!

"Although I don't know much about Planet Dong Wu, with Senior's Heretical Saint Physique, just Planet Dong Wu alone shouldn't be enough. It might even attract trouble. Why is the Yue Clan's Godking so obsessed with Senior? Does Senior have any idea about this matter? "

Gu Chen pondered. He had a feeling that the Yue Clan's Godking didn't just want to recruit Jiang Baiming.

"When he came today, he hinted that he wasn't trying to recruit me to Planet Dong Wu. Instead, he wanted to introduce me to some important person." Jiang Baiming's expression was gloomy.

"What kind of important person?" Gu Chen was shocked. For the Godking to say that this person was an important person, his identity must be extraordinary!

"I'm not too sure. He was very vague about it. All he said was that he would give me many benefits and that I would never regret following him. Heh, the way I see it, he just wants to sell me off at a high price! "

Gu Chen understood and gritted his teeth. "Senior Jiang, if you were to fight with the Godking, what are your chances of victory?"

Jiang Baiming was rather surprised. He hesitated for a moment before asking. "About fifty percent?"

"Fifty percent?" Gu Chen was stunned.

"Fifty percent is already my limit. After all, all my energy has been spent on refining weapons. After so many years, my cultivation level is only at the early Heavenly Immortal stage. If my cultivation level was a little deeper and I could use a few secret treasures, killing a Godking wouldn't be a difficult task."

Jiang Baiming replied seriously. In his eyes, the Godking didn't seem that invincible.

"Fifty percent? Hahaha! "

Gu Chen roared with laughter. Jiang Baiming thought that Gu Chen had been provoked. "Gu Chen, what's wrong with you? Don't give yourself too much pressure. Even if you can't help me, I won't blame you."

Gu Chen waved his hand and smiled. "Senior Jiang, you've misunderstood me."
