Chapter 812
On a purple ancient planet with life, Gu Chen and Tang Ning met again.
He brought Jiang Baiming and the black dog to this place according to the route he had indicated.
As soon as they met, the atmosphere was a little tense.
"Senior, this should be the fourth time, right?" Gu Chen looked displeased. He had no respect for Tang Ning, the Heavenly General.
Tang Ning did not care. He seemed to have just woken up from a dream and stretched his body with disheveled hair.
"Not bad, you actually brought back the Unorthodox Divine Physique." He looked at Jiang Baiming with a smile and praised him.
"As the saying goes, things don't happen more than three times. In my eyes, Senior, you are no longer trustworthy."
Gu Chen glanced at Tang Ning coldly and swore to himself that when his cultivation level surpassed Tang Ning's, he would definitely spar with him and give him an unforgettable memory.
Once in the Nine-Layered Heavens, once in the Vine Ancestor, and once in the Immortal Aptitude Assessment. He had encountered danger three times under Tang Ning's plan. Although it was a blessing in disguise, it still did not feel good to be schemed against.
He had thought that the Immortal Aptitude Assessment would be the end. Who would have thought that he would have to go to the Three-Sun Star to assassinate Senior Jiang? This was another big trap.
His thoughts were meticulous and every step he took was calculated. Tang Ning was far more shrewd than he appeared!
"Haha, don't say that. I didn't tell you about Jiang Xuan's true background, but isn't your on-the-spot judgment pretty good?"
Tangning smiled as she tried to play it off.
"Why didn't you reveal Senior Jiang's true identity in advance, Senior? If you had told me from the beginning that your real purpose was to bring Senior Jiang back, I would have been able to make more preparations. "
Gu Chen asked unhappily.
The first three times, it could be said that Tang Ning was testing him and giving him a fortuitous encounter. However, this time, going to the Three Suns Star was quite dangerous. What if Senior Jiang changed his appearance and he accidentally killed him?
He had too many safe ways to bring Jiang Baiming out, but he chose to let Gu Chen take the risk alone.
"As a Heavenly Soldier of the Celestial Court, there are often many unexpected situations in the process of carrying out a mission. You can deploy ahead of time this time, but can you do it next time? I wanted to test your on-the-spot reaction ability, and it turned out to be okay. "
Tang Ning pretended to be serious, but Gu Chen was speechless.
From his point of view, this was just a perfunctory answer. Tangning didn't reveal his true intentions!
"Alright, I know that the reward for killing the Unorthodox Divine Aptitude is ten times the Thousand Marrow Pill. Since you've completed the task more than expected, the reward will be a hundred times!"
"I said before that the reward for killing the Unorthodox Saint Physique would be ten times that of the Myriad Marrow Elixir. Since you've completed the task, the reward will be a hundred times higher!"
Tang Ning's straightforward words made Gu Chen's eyes narrow. "Are you sure?"
The bottle of Myriad Marrow Pills from before had a total of 655,555 pills. After taking them every day, Gu Chen's Demonic Sky-Devouring Insect was evolving at an astonishing rate. Gu Chen was very satisfied.
Gu Chen found it hard to imagine what kind of extravagance that was, a hundred times the reward of the Myriad Marrow Pill!
"I always do what I say. Can you trust me again now?"
Tang Ning smiled sloppily, like an adult taking out candy to attract a child.
"Hmph, let's talk about the reward first." Gu Chen's heart palpitated, but he pretended to be calm on the surface.
"Ancient Immortal Tower. I'm prepared to send you in," Tang Ning said.
"What is that place?" Gu Chen frowned.
"It's a very special place. There are countless Taoist Skills, Immortal Skills, Pills, Talismans, and Weapons stored there. Anyway, you'll know once you get in. It won't be a wasted trip."
Tang Ning's words were ambiguous, which made Gu Chen a little hesitant. Could it be that this guy had set up another trap?
"By the way, Jiang Xuan, why don't you go with Gu Chen? It's such a good opportunity. Don't miss it. "
Tang Ning looked at Jiang Baiming and said.
Jiang Baiming was surprised to hear that. "Senior, you're talking about a secret place in Ancient Heaven, right? You're letting me go just like that? There's no need to hold any ceremony to join the Celestial Court?"
"There's no need. What's the point of so many complicated ceremonies? After Gu Chen passed the selection and became a Heavenly Soldier, he was supposed to go through training as a Heavenly Soldier. But did he go? The Celestial Court is very free. There aren't so many rules. "
Tang Ning said straightforwardly. His words made Gu Chen's mouth twitch.
He was taken away by Tang Ning as soon as he passed the immortal aptitude assessment. Of course, he did not know anything about the Heavenly Soldier training.
Although he guessed that Tang Ning might have said that to make Senior Jiang have a better impression of the Celestial Court, he still needed courage to let him enter the Ancient Immortal Edifice without any promise from him.
Jiang Baiming hesitated when he heard that. There was no such thing as an undeserved reward. Tang Ning did not play by the rules. He did not know if he should accept his good intentions.
"The Ancient Immortal Edifice has countless books on refining weapons and pills that have been passed down since the Primordial Age. There are also many precious materials that you want. Are you sure you want to reconsider?"
Tang Ning threw out a big bait when he saw Jiang Baiming's hesitation.
Jiang Baiming's eyes brightened when he heard that. He gulped. "Alright. Thank you for your good intentions. I'll go!"
Tang Ning saw that he had convinced the two and looked at the black dog.
"Gu Chen, can I have a word with this fellow Daoist alone?"
Gu Chen had a strange look on his face. Friend?
Tang Ning actually addressed the black dog as an equal. This was really strange. Could it be that he knew something about the black dog?
Gu Chen did not answer. He looked at the black dog instead.
"It's my honor to have a talk with the famous Friend Tang." The black dog agreed calmly.
Seeing this, Gu Chen went far away with Jiang Baiming, leaving the two of them to talk alone.
"I know who you are and why you stay by Gu Chen's side."
Tang Ning looked at the black dog and said meaningfully.
As soon as Gu Chen and Jiang Baiming left, his cynicism seemed to have disappeared.
"You're ranked third on the Immortal Execution List of the Divine Realm. You're known as the Master of All Lives. You're a headache for the Divine Realm. Why are you treating Gu Chen so differently? What are you plotting?" The black dog looked at Tang Ning, trying to see through him.
"Gu Chen should have told you a lot about me. Are you interested in Ancient Heaven now?" Tang Ning laughed and asked instead of answering.
"He only told me your name. I found out everything else on my own. In our eyes, whether it's Gu Chen or Jiang Baiming, they're just kids. How much can they know? "
The black dog shook its head. "You asked Gu Chen to save Jiang Baiming. Your real intention is to let them live and die together, so they can trust each other, right? What's your purpose in doing this? "
Tang Ning looked into the distance and his eyes lit up.
"I've been observing both of them for a long time. Gu Chen has passed my tests many times. As for Jiang Baiming, he's been cultivating in the Three Yang God Residence for many years. I've sent people to investigate him many times."
"One has the most unique Overlord Physique and Immortal Physique. The other has the strongest Unorthodox Physique. I want both of them to become the spear and shield of the Celestial Court! "
"Gu Chen will be the spear of the Celestial Court. He'll pierce through everything, destroy everything, and sweep away all obstacles!"
"Jiang Baiming will be his shield and the shield of the Celestial Court. He'll protect our faith!"
The black dog was moved when it heard Tang Ning's plan for the two of them.
He looked like a sloppy person, but deep down, he had such high hopes for the two of them!
The black dog calmed down after a long time. In the end, it only asked Tang Ning one question.
