Chapter 908
Somewhere in the wilderness, Gu Chen and Penglai Island Master sat on the ground, each holding a jar of wine and drinking to their heart's content.
They used to be enemies, but they became comrades-in-arms and left the Dark Yellow Ancient Planet together. It could be said that their friendship was deep.
After entering the vast universe, the world of cultivators had become crueler. Over the years, they had experienced many life-or-death crises. Now that they were still alive and could meet to talk about the old days, it was a matter worth celebrating.
"In the past years, the Old Man has been very cautious, afraid that someone will find out my true identity. I don't even have someone I can talk to," Penglai Island Master lamented.
In order to pursue higher cultivation realms, he came to the Li Celestial Clan and realized how small he used to be.
Over the years, he tried his best to climb up and finally made some achievements with his own strategies, but it also made him feel more lonely.
Gu Chen's arrival made him laugh heartily, which was rare for him. He also revealed his worries.
"Island Master, the Li people have blocked many star passages recently, saying that they are searching for the remnants of the Celestial World. But after I came to the Fortune Star, I found something strange about the Li people. What's going on?"
After three rounds of wine, Gu Chen asked about his doubts.
"Searching for the remnants of the Celestial World? Hehe, that's just a cover, "Penglai Island Master said straightforwardly, knowing the relationship between Gu Chen and the Celestial Court.
"Oh? A cover? "Gu Chen narrowed his eyes.
"Two months ago, a Xu Yuan suddenly appeared in the territory of the Li people. There was a shocking phenomenon, and it was said that a rare treasure was born.
"After it happened, the Li people blocked several star passages to prevent people from approaching Xu Yuan. At the same time, they sent a large number of masters to investigate. However, there must be a reason for blocking the star passages. To avoid attracting the covetous eyes of other forces, I guess the higher-ups of the Li people used the recent conflict between immortals and gods to fabricate a fake news. "
Penglai Island Master told Gu Chen the whole story, and his interest was piqued.
"Oh? What treasure is there in Xu Yuan that is worth the Li family's fanfare? "
"I'm not sure. I only know that the order to seal off the city was personally given by the Li Clan's ancestor. It seems that he cares a lot about that Xu Yuan. One should know that the Li Clan's ancestor had stepped into the Hierarch Realm hundreds of thousands of years ago. The things that he cared about must be priceless. "
Penglai Island Master guessed with interest in his eyes.
When Gu Chen heard this, he pondered and recalled the competition between the disciples of the Li Clan, so he asked. "What's with the selection?"
"It's said that Xu Yuan is full of opportunities, but there are many hidden dangers. The Li family has sent a large number of experts to explore there, but they didn't find much, so they decided to let the outstanding young generation of the family go with them. If you want to get the qualification to go to Xu Yuan, you have to pass through layers of screening. "
"The Old Man has already passed most of the tests. As long as he passes tomorrow's selection, he will be qualified to go there."
Penglai Island Master said with a smile, his eyes flashing.
"I'm afraid that Island Master doesn't just want to participate in the selection, right?"
Seeing the Island Master's expression, Gu Chen remembered the secret competition between the two parties and asked meaningfully.
"Hehe, since you saw it, the Old Man isn't afraid of letting you know about it."
Penglai Island Master didn't hide it. He gulped down a mouthful of wine, and a cunning light appeared in his eyes.
"Xu Yuan is good, but according to the Old Man's information, it's full of dangers. In fact, it's hard to get any opportunities in there."
"Li Xuanba and Li Xuanyu are the best among the young generation of the Li people. Both of them are very rich, and they want to get opportunities in Xu Yuan so that they can surpass each other."
Hearing Penglai Island Master's words, Gu Chen had guessed his intention. "So, you plan to let them kill each other in Xu Yuan, and then you can reap the benefits?"
"That's right. Compared to that illusory opportunity, the wealth of these two people is much more attractive. Besides, if they die in Xu Yuan, I will have more room to rise in the ranks of the Li people, "Penglai Island Master admitted it straightforwardly.
Gu Chen couldn't help but think, "Sly Old Man. After so many years, Penglai Island Master is still so cunning and despicable."
It must be noted that he was only at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and he wanted to plot against two immortal kings who were much more powerful than him. His courage and strategy were impressive.
Moreover, from the looks of it, this plan was already halfway through, and there might really be a chance of success!
While listening to Penglai Island Master describe his plan, Gu Chen was deep in thought.
With the high status and power of the Li Family's Master, Li Fu, there must be something extraordinary in Xu Yuan for him to mobilize such a large force.
He wasn't sure if it had anything to do with the Pure Spirit Kingdom, but since he knew it, he must get to the bottom of it.
However, Xu Yuan was blocked by the Li people, and only their core disciples could enter, which was a bit troublesome.
At this thought, Gu Chen looked at Penglai Island Master and asked carefully, "Island Master, you have to plan so many things by yourself. "Island Lord has to plan so many things by himself. Aside from the two God Kings, he still has a bunch of helpers. Isn't he afraid of accidents?"
Hearing his words, Penglai Island Master looked at Gu Chen with a faint smile. "What? Little Friend Gu, you want a share? "
"Right. I want to help you in this grand event. As for the reward, we can talk about it later." Gu Chen smiled cunningly.
Penglai Island Master thought about Gu Chen's suggestion seriously.
Although they hadn't seen each other for many years, from the fact that Gu Chen easily blocked his sword strike, Penglai Island Master knew that Gu Chen's strength was far greater than his. If Gu Chen was willing to help, the success rate would be much higher.
Besides, they had worked together before, and Penglai Island Master knew Gu Chen's personality well.
As for the reward, they could share it equally. Besides the wealth of the two immortal kings, Penglai Island Master wanted to climb up in the ranks of the Li people, which was something that Gu Chen couldn't share equally. Therefore, Penglai Island Master felt that it was a good deal for him.
"Alright, you can have a part in this. This old man can hide you and bring you into the Void Abyss when the time comes. We'll share the fortune fifty-fifty! "Penglai Island Master said.
Gu Chen's eyes flashed. Compared to asking Penglai Island Master to hide him, he had a bolder and more convenient plan.
"Island Master, you have a close relationship with Li Xuanba, right?" Gu Chen asked.
"Sort of. He trusts the Old Man enough now." Penglai Island Master didn't understand why Gu Chen suddenly mentioned Li Xuanba.
"If he dies, will the Island Master be sad?"
Penglai Island Master was drinking wine when he heard this question, and he almost choked.
"Kid, what are you thinking? If Li Xuanba dies, how can the Old Man take advantage of the conflict between him and Li Xuanyu to benefit from it? Besides, that guy is very powerful. How can he die so easily? "Penglai Island Master widened his eyes and said.
"What the Island Lord wants is none other than the assets of those two people. I can kill both of them and give them all to you for free," Gu Chen said calmly. When he talked about killing the Divine Kings, it was as if he was squashing two ants to death.
Penglai Island Master was so shocked that he couldn't speak, not knowing if Gu Chen was joking or not.
He had schemed for a long time to let the two immortal kings injure each other so that he could take advantage of the situation. How could Gu Chen kill them so easily?
