Chapter 944

"What about Heavenly General Li? How is he? "Gu Chen turned to ask Li Shunyu.

"There's no news about Heavenly General Li. After all, I only sneaked into the Celestial Celestial Realm to investigate, and my access to information is limited."

Jiang Baiming's expression suddenly turned serious. "But I heard that Yuan Buhuo is still here, and he took the lead to support Tang Ning. However, no one seems to know that he's a spy from the Pure Spirit Kingdom."

Hearing Jiang Baiming's words, Gu Chen fell silent as he understood what Jiang Baiming meant.

"It seems that General Tang Tian has surrendered to the Pure Spirit Kingdom," Penglai Island Master was not a member of the Celestial Court, but he got to the point.

The situation was too obvious. In the previous situation, Tang Ning had survived and even obtained great power. This could only be because she had defected to the Pure Spirit Demon Region.

Yuan Buhuo's return to the Celestial Court without being exposed was the best evidence.

Gu Chen didn't refute. He knew that although Tang Ning was powerful, it was impossible for him to clean the Celestial Court. However, with the Pure Spirit Kingdom's help, everything was different!

"Tang Ning might have been threatened or controlled by the Pure Spirit Kingdom in some way. Either way, he can't return to the Celestial Court now."

Gu Chen inhaled deeply. Remembering how the Man with a Bamboo Hat controlled people in the Ancient Planet Cang Huang, he didn't think that Tang Ning betrayed the Celestial Court voluntarily.

"I need more information. I must figure out what happened in the Heavenly Music Pavilion's meeting."

Gu Chen's eyes flickered. If the Pure Spirit Kingdom had interfered in the Heavenly Music Pavilion's meeting, things wouldn't be so simple.

The information that Jiang Baiming got after sneaking into the division could only come from the lower levels. The information was limited and might even be biased.

A slight deviation could cause him to make a wrong judgment.

He didn't want to make more mistakes in dealing with the Man with a Bamboo Hat. He needed first-hand information from the inside!

"I heard that only the heavenly generals and officials attended this meeting. Obviously, we can't contact Tang Ning and Li Shunyu. Where can we get more information?" Jiang Baiming shook his head.

"There's one more person who might be able to help us."

After careful consideration, Gu Chen narrowed his eyes.

…

On a desolate dead star, Gu Chen stood with his hands clasped behind his back and waited for his arrival.

When the appointed time arrived, a cool breeze rolled up a thousand feet in front of him, and a blind middle-aged man suddenly appeared!

Gu Chen's eyes turned cold imperceptibly, but he said with a smile. "Fellow Daoist Hai, long time no see."

The person in front of him was Heavenly General Hai Dongqing. Gu Chen wanted to find out what had happened in the Heavenly Music Parlor meeting, so he came looking for him.

The reason why he chose to contact him was due to multiple considerations.

Other than Tang Ning and Li Shunyu, Hai Dongqing was the Heavenly General that Gu Chen knew better.

Many Heavenly Generals from the Heavenly Music Pavilion's peace faction had mysteriously disappeared. The Heavenly Generals from the war faction had always been on good terms with Tang Ning. Therefore, Hai Dongqing, who had remained neutral during the previous meeting, was a more suitable candidate.

Most importantly, Gu Chen had Hai Dongqing's Devil's Blade in his hands. Based on how much he valued the Devil's Blade, Gu Chen wasn't afraid that he wouldn't cooperate with him.

Gu Chen had already asked around. Although Hai Dongqing was powerful in the Celestial Court, he had always been a loner and did not belong to any faction.

Although he had stood up for Xian before, it was only to repay Genjutsu's kindness back then. From this point of view, what he said was true and righteous.

After considering all these factors, Gu Chen finally took the risk to contact him.

The time and place of the meeting today were extremely tight. Hai Dongqing didn't disappoint him and arrived as promised.

"It's only been a few months since we last met. It's not that long."

Facing Gu Chen's greetings, Hai Dongqing said calmly.

Then, his eyes, which only had the whites of his eyes, turned and said solemnly, "Are those people hiding in the dark your companions, Little Friend Gu? If not, please allow me to deal with them first. Don't leak the news of our meeting! "

Gu Chen's expression was solemn. After all, he had a conflict with Hai Dongqing. To be on the safe side, he let White Ape, Jiang Baiming, and Dragon Horse hide in the dark and coordinate with him.

Gu Chen originally thought that he wouldn't be discovered if he hid well enough, but he didn't expect Gu Chen to expose him the moment he arrived.

"How did you see through our hidden methods?"

Seeing that they had been exposed, Jiang Baiming took the lead and walked out from the dark. White Ape and Dragon Horse followed behind him, but Penglai Island Master was nowhere to be seen.

Jiang Baiming wasn't willing to give up. With his attainments in array formations, he was confident that most of the Celestial Lords wouldn't be able to see through his hiding place. However, he didn't expect that Hai Dongqing would find him the moment he arrived.

"My eyes are blind, but my heart isn't," Hai Dongqing answered evasively, which made him look even more mysterious.

Everyone present felt uncomfortable dealing with him.

Gu Chen had fought with Hai Dongqing before, so he knew that Hai Dongqing's strength was at least at the late-stage of Celestial Lord, which was much stronger than Zhao Jianjia.

On the other hand, Jiang Baiming and the others instinctively felt that this person was extremely powerful and had an aura that made them feel uncomfortable.

This time, Tangning and Li Shunyu were not around. If the two sides were to fight over a disagreement, Gu Chen knew very well that their chances of winning were not high even with the help of his companions.

However, in order to figure out the situation, it was worth the risk!

"I'll get straight to the point. Fellow Cultivator Hai, do you still remember our agreement?" Gu Chen skipped the pointless probing and asked directly.

Back then, they made a deal that as long as Hai Dongqing could find his father, he would return the Demon Blade of Yan Ling.

Now that Gu Chen knew the whereabouts of his father, and the Celestial Court had been infiltrated by the Pure Spirit Kingdom, the agreement had to be changed.

"Of course I remember. In fact, I've been waiting for you to contact me. Tang Ning was right." Hai Dongqing grinned.

"What did Tang Ning say?" Gu Chen was surprised.

Speaking of this, Hai Dongqing's expression turned solemn. "Tang Ning has the reputation of the Ledgerkeeper of Lives. I always thought it was an exaggeration, but now it seems that he is indeed worthy of this reputation. I believe that he also hopes to tell you through me what happened at the Heavenly Music Parlor meeting and what is about to happen. "

Gu Chen and the others could not help but perk up their ears.

"At the Heavenly Music Parlor meeting not long ago, the Jingling Taoist appeared with the Pure Spirit Kingdom's people to support Tang Ning. At the same time, several Heavenly Generals who were in favor of peace disappeared mysteriously. They took control of the meeting through semi-coercion. "

"Now it can be said that the Ancient Heaven has been controlled by the Pure Spirit Kingdom, and Tang Ning has become the spokesperson of the Jingling Taoist!"

Hai Dongqing spoke tirelessly. His description of the meeting was far more detailed and thrilling than what Jiang Baiming had heard.

Gu Chen's heart sank. The Ancient Heaven, once the number one force in the Immortal World, had fallen into the hands of the Man with a Bamboo Hat. It could be said that he was already standing at the peak of the Immortal Dao.

"Where is Heavenly General Li? Did he also seek refuge with the Pure Spirit Kingdom? Did no Heavenly General oppose it? "Gu Chen asked.

"Heavenly General Li did not attend the meeting, and it is unknown whether he is dead or alive. Naturally, there were those who opposed it, but the leader of the opposition, Mystic Fairy, was imprisoned on the spot. The rest finally chose to submit under Yuan Buhuo's coercion and temptation. "
