Chapter 875

The illusory soul struggled in Gu Chen's palm, its face hideous and frightening.

This wisp of soul came from the Ancient Demon Soul Jade and belonged to the Man with a Bamboo Hat.

When it first obtained the Ancient Demon Soul Jade, the black dog had made a plan to let Gu Chen absorb and refine the Ancient Demon Soul Jade so that the wisp of soul hidden in the Man with a Bamboo Hat could be forced out.

Gu Chen cut off all means of retreat on the Desolate God's Main Star. With the help of the power of six months, he finally managed to refine the remaining half of the Soul Jade in one go and also captured this wisp of the Man in Bamboo Hat's soul.

For the past half a month, Gu Chen had imprisoned it and was not in a hurry to search its soul for information about the Man with a Bamboo Hat.

From Heavenly General Li, he learned that the Man with a Bamboo Hat was most likely the leader of the Pure Spirit Kingdom, the Jingling Taoist, which made Gu Chen even more wary of him.

According to the black dog, the Man with a Bamboo Hat had millions of wisps of soul scattered throughout the universe. As long as he did not know that the Ancient Demon Soul Jade had fallen into his hands and did not deliberately search for this wisp of soul, then even if he searched the wisp of soul, his location would not be exposed.

However, after the incident on the Wilderness God's main star, the Man with a Bamboo Hat must have known that Gu Chen had left the Cang Huang Ancient Star. With his shrewdness and ability, if he had the intention to speculate, it was very likely that the Ancient Demon Soul Jade had fallen into his hands.

Therefore, for the past half a month, Gu Chen had been thinking carefully and did not dare to search the wisp of soul rashly.

At the moment, he must not do anything that might expose his location. After all, the Man with a Bamboo Hat might have just learned of his existence and was trying to find him.

"Now that I know the true identity of the Man with a Bamboo Hat, I can't rush to deal with him. At least I have to wait until I can truly master the power of the Immortal Stellar Body and the black dog comes back."

Gu Chen murmured and finally sealed the wisp of soul again and threw it into the secret space within his body.

After experiencing so many storms and waves, he had become calmer than before and was no longer impatient to seek revenge.

White Ape had returned safely. Through his previous conversation with Queen Bi You, he could also confirm that his father was still safe and sound for the time being. There was no hurry to deal with the Man with a Bamboo Hat now.

…

In the Milky Way Star Field, inside a mysterious temple on an ancient planet.

Qiong Qi, who had a scar on his face, strode into the temple with a gloomy expression.

The interior of the temple was pitch-black, but after he walked in, the two rows of statues lit up, and the figures of cultivators wearing ice blue robes appeared above them.

"Qiong Qi, you failed the mission this time, and you still have the nerve to come back?"

"After plotting for so long, we still failed to obtain the Stellar Core. Do you know how big of an impact it has on our plan?"

When the phantoms saw Qiong Qi, they all began to criticize him.

"The one who failed was Queen Bi You. I was responsible for providing support outside, but who would have thought that she would die in the hands of a little brat!"

Qiong Qi explained reluctantly.

"A failure is a failure, why are you looking for excuses? I was responsible for the mission, and I completed it single-handedly. "

"Bi You usually pretends to be noble and resourceful, but who would have thought that she would suffer such a huge setback this time, and even lose her life."

"Since you encountered that little brat, why didn't you kill him and take back the Stellar Core? I heard that you suffered a loss at his hands, is that true? If that's the case, then you've really lost the face of our Pure Spirit Kingdom. "

Everyone was talking at once, and most of them were mocking and ridiculing Qiong Qi.

Qiong Qi's face flushed red, and just as he was about to explain, an evil laughter came from a mass of light in the middle.

"Haha Jie, enough, stop scolding him. I was the one who asked him to temporarily retreat. Given the situation on the battlefield, even if he stayed, he wouldn't have been able to retrieve the Stellar Core. "

As soon as this voice spoke, everyone who was talking at once fell silent.

"Your Holiness, according to our plan, that Desolate God Master Star's Stellar Core is an indispensable key. Without it, how are we going to proceed with our plan? You should know that it's not an ordinary ancient Stellar Core, and finding a second one is as difficult as ascending to the heavens! "A light figure couldn't help but ask.

"Haha, our plan has been going on for so long, of course we can't let a little brat ruin it. I already know where that brat is, and I'm sending people over. Although the Stellar Core is gone, that brat is still here, and he can still act as the key, "Man with a Bamboo Hat said indifferently.

"Your Holiness! Please let me go, let me make up for my mistake, and tear that brat into a thousand pieces! "Qiong Qi heard this and said anxiously.

He was the one who messed up, and he lost face because of that brat. If it wasn't for Your Holiness asking him to retreat, he definitely wouldn't have left with his tail between his legs!

"Haha, if I let you kill him, then the key will really be gone," Man with a Bamboo Hat heard this and said jokingly.

"Your Holiness, the rumors about that brat have been spreading like wildfire recently. I heard that you are related to him, and he is also the son of Gu Tianming. Is this information accurate?"

One of the many light figures asked. When the others heard this, their eyes flickered incessantly.

"Yes, that brat is a wisp of this King's soul. I met him by chance in Gu Tianming's hometown, and he is very interesting. This King didn't expect that in just a short ten years, he would grow to this extent, "Man with a Bamboo Hat replied with a smile.

"Since he is Gu Tianming's son, if we let him become the key, won't we offend Gu Tianming? You should know that Gu Tianming originally joined our Pure Spirit Kingdom under Your Holiness's coercion. If he knew that his son is about to become a sacrifice, I'm afraid he wouldn't be willing to cooperate with us. "

"And now, Gu Tianming's role is very important. Many of us still need his help to cut off the shackles on our bodies," said the light figure.

The silhouette said. Many people nodded in agreement, expressing the same concerns.

"Haha, because of this, today's meeting was hidden from Gu Tianming and Wu Lingxian. When they find out, it will be too late, "Man with a Bamboo Hat said gloomily.

When the light figures heard this, they all let out a light laugh.

"Your Holiness, do you know who is going after that brat?" Qiong Qi still didn't want his task to be replaced by someone else, so he asked.

"Shadow Lord Meng Jianchou," Man with a Bamboo Hat answered casually.

"It's him? If that's the case, when that brat is sent back, he will be missing a lot of body parts. "

"Poor brat, he actually met Meng Jianchou. His luck is really bad."

Everyone teased.

"Your Holiness, why did you send Shadow Lord and not me? I have experience fighting that brat. Do the Taoist Priests think that I am no match for that brat?" Qiong Qi gritted his teeth and asked.

"In terms of bloodline talent, there aren't many demons in the entire universe that can compare to Qiong Qi's clan. Of course, I won't doubt your ability. However, you haven't truly broken through to the Immortal Venerable level yet. Right now, you should focus on cultivating in seclusion. "

Man with a Bamboo Hat explained casually, "And this time, to catch that brat, we have to go to the ancestral planet of the Heart Ape Clan. There are many experts there, and the environment is very special. A straightforward person like you isn't suitable for this task. Overall, Shadow Lord is the most suitable candidate. He can help us capture the target with the least amount of manpower. "

After hearing this explanation, Qiong Qi was speechless. He could only nod. "I understand. I will start cultivating in seclusion now, and strive to break through to the Immortal Venerable level as soon as possible. When that time comes, hmph, let's see who still dares to question me."

As he spoke, he glanced at the light figures in dissatisfaction.
