Chapter 847

Gu Chen originally wanted to sneak into the Wilderness God Star and head to the Water Flame Prison as soon as possible to take White Ape away. Who would have thought that Empress Bi You would summon him the moment he arrived.

He couldn't not meet her. That would arouse suspicion and make it harder for his plan to succeed.

After some thought, Gu Chen pretended to be calm and brushed past the Life Stealing God King. Under the guidance of a servant, he arrived at Bi You Palace.

When he stepped into the palace, Gu Chen immediately saw Empress Bi You sitting on the main seat.

Beautiful!

A soul-stirring beauty!

This was Gu Chen's first thought when he saw Empress Bi You. Her hair was like a waterfall and her facial features were so exquisite that they didn't seem to exist in this world. Her skin was as fair as snow without a single flaw.

She wore a thick green robe, so he couldn't see her background. But judging from her face, it was definitely not bad.

"Nephew greets Aunt."

Gu Chen only swept a glance at Empress Bi You before retracting his gaze. He approached her and spoke in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.

Queen Bi You leaned back in her chair. She lifted her chin slightly and looked at Gu Chen with a smile.

"You must have had a hard time. How's the situation?"

Gu Chen knew that she was referring to the connection with the Immeasurable Demon God Sect. He didn't need to search anyone's soul to know the gist of it. Thus, he explained from the perspective of the Life Stealing God King.

In his words, the Life Stealing God King had completed the mission perfectly. What he said was also the truth.

Of course, Gu Chen skipped over the matter of saving the old man from the Celestial Court.

This was a loophole. Qiong Qi had given the old man to the Wilderness God Clan as a gift. This matter would be exposed sooner or later.

However, no one in the Wilderness God Clan knew about this for the time being. By the time they found out, Gu Chen would have either been exposed and killed, or he would have escaped with the white ape. It would not affect him much.

Empress Bi You quietly listened to Gu Chen's narration of the mission. Her eyes flashed with a strange light.

"You came back a few days later than scheduled. Did you encounter any delays on your way back?" She suddenly asked.

"We met with the army of Ancient Heaven causing trouble, but they were all dealt with by nephew." Gu Chen imitated the Suicide God King, revealing an extremely confident smile.

"Oh? I see. " Empress Bi You nodded lightly, "If there's nothing else, you can leave now. Have a good rest, there will be a tough battle in a few days."

Gu Chen heaved a sigh of relief and said respectfully. "Then I'll take my leave first."

With that, he turned around and left the Secluded Bi Palace, his footsteps neither slow nor hurried.

Empress Bi You watched his departing figure, a cold smile appearing on her lips at some point in time.

…

Gu Chen left the Secluded Jade Palace and returned to the Life Ending God King's residence.

He wanted to go to the Water Flame Prison to check on White Ape's condition.

However, if he went to check on the prisoner as soon as he returned, it would inevitably attract attention. Thus, he restrained his thoughts for the sake of caution.

He stayed in his residence until night time, then pretended to be idle and let a servant lead the way to the Water Flame Prison.

The servant did not suspect anything and led him through a few palaces, arriving at a Xing Mountain.

This Xing Mountain was a prison specially set up by the Desolate God Race, where many prisoners were locked up.

In front of Xing Mountain was the Immortal Execution Ground. The Desolate God Race had once executed a large number of enemies here, using this as a deterrent.

The Water Flame Prison was located at the highest point of Xing Mountain. After the servant brought Gu Chen to the foot of Xing Mountain, he did not dare to go any further.

The front was considered an important place for the Desolate God Race. Apart from direct descendants like the Life Ending God King, no one else was allowed to enter.

At this time, the foot of the mountain was also heavily guarded by a large number of soldiers, appearing orderly and meticulous.

"Greetings, Your Highness."

Gu Chen casually walked up the mountain. The soldiers did not dare to stop him and greeted him respectfully.

It was no secret in the Desolate God Race that the Life Ending God King would often come to Xing Mountain. He enjoyed torturing those prisoners.

This made things very convenient for Gu Chen. He could easily ascend the mountain, and no one would question his identity.

After ascending the mountain, Gu Chen became very excited. He took a deep breath and quickly walked up the mountain!

As he ascended, there were many prison cells on both sides, but they were all empty.

It was said that for the execution five days later, the Desolate God Race purposely emptied all the prison cells. Therefore, there was only one prisoner on the entire Xing Mountain.

Such special treatment showed how much the Desolate God Race's upper echelons valued this Heart Ape Race clansman.

Gu Chen soon arrived at the peak. There was only one building here, and that metal door was tightly shut. Outside the door, there were actually two Desolate God Race elders personally guarding it.

These two were God King cultivators, and this caused Gu Chen to be more vigilant.

"I'll have to trouble the two of you to open the door." Gu Chen did not know these two, and did not know how to address them. When he spoke, he was very nervous, afraid that he would expose himself.

The two of them looked at Gu Chen, causing him to feel goosebumps. Just as he was about to think that he had exposed himself, they suddenly joined hands and shot a restriction light at the door.

Rumble.

The door slowly opened under the control of the technique. Gu Chen heaved a sigh of relief and walked in with large strides.

The moment he entered, the door automatically closed.

This prison cell was pitch-black. After Gu Chen took a few steps, the long and bright lamps on both sides automatically lit up. Only then did he realize that there was a long and narrow tunnel in front of him.

'If I forcefully destroy this Water Flame Prison, it will definitely cause a huge commotion and attract the experts of the Desolate God Race. But if I leave from the door, it will be very troublesome for those two elders.'

Gu Chen's expression sank. He realized that it would be more difficult to bring the white ape away than he had imagined.

The Desolate God Race attached too much importance to it. They had actually sent two elders to guard the door. Just to enter, they would need to join hands to cast a technique.

With all kinds of techniques superimposed, this prison cell was like an iron wall. Even a fly could not enter!

Gu Chen walked to the end of the tunnel, and the sound of water came from the front.

At the same time, the temperature here began to change. It was extremely cold one moment, and extremely hot the next. It was very unbearable.

It was said that there was a great array on this Xing Mountain. It gathered the power of the six suns and six moons over a long period of time, forming the Water Flame Prison.

This was the cruelest place on the Desolate God Main Planet. The prisoners imprisoned here were often living a life worse than death.

Gu Chen clenched his fists subconsciously. He took a few quick steps and finally arrived in front of the prison cell.

The prison cell in front of him was filled with smoke. Sometimes, there would be flames, and sometimes, there would be icy smoke. Hot and cold alternated in an extremely short period of time.

And on one of the pillars in the prison cell, there was a short white ape. Its whole body was drenched in blood, and both its hands and feet were bound by shackles.

Two metal spears extended from the pillar, and even pierced through its chest. It couldn't even move, and its blood kept dripping from the tip of the spear!
