Chapter 968

Ji Lanchu returned to her residence, accompanied by Mu Ziyu, Shi Jian, and the eight women.

When the Karakorum Sword appeared, these old friends immediately guessed its origins and looked forward to meeting Gu Chen.

Ji Lanchu's emotions were in turmoil. One moment, she was overjoyed that Gu Chen had saved her, and the next moment, she was nervous about what to say when they met.

In her opinion, Gu Chen did not show up directly because he did not want to attract attention. Now that everyone had left, he should show up soon.

However, they waited until night time, but did not see Gu Chen. Instead, they heard about the tragic experiences of more than ten experts.

Ji Lanchu's anticipation turned to nervousness, and finally to disappointment. She realized that Gu Chen might not see her.

Why did he not see her? Did he not miss her at all after so many years?

She knew that people would change. With Gu Chen's excellence, there should be many women who were interested in him over the years …

Her imagination ran wild, and she was worried about personal gains and losses.

"Lanchu, don't think too much. Perhaps Gu Chen was just delayed by something. Moreover, his identity is extraordinary, and he fought today. It's normal that he can't see you so soon. "Mu Ziyu comforted her, but she was also disappointed and had complicated feelings.

Gu Chen's actions today were too uncanny, and it had become the hottest topic of discussion in Mount Myriad Gods.

She was a little envious of Lanchu, thinking how good it would have been if he had saved her instead.

However, she would not say these feelings out loud. After all, Gu Chen and Lanchu were in love. All these years, she had gotten used to hiding her true feelings.

Everyone waited until late at night, but Gu Chen did not show up, so they left.

Ji Lanchu did not sleep for the whole night. Whenever there was any movement outside, she thought that Gu Chen had come, but in the end, she was only disappointed.

When Ji Lanchu's mind was in a mess, she did not notice that on her windowsill, there was an unprepossessing butterfly that had accompanied her for the whole night and never left …

In Gu Chen's room, he slowly opened his eyes, his face a little pale.

Today, he was afraid that something might happen to Lanchu, so he made a move.

Although he had made his move, he had not forgotten his main purpose of coming to the Gods Mountain. Hence, he had not shown himself from the start.

The clone technique that Penglai Island Master taught him and the ability of Ying Zun's shadow space were of great help. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to hide himself under the watch of so many powerful masters.

Today's attack was very opportunistic, and the cultivators outside were now discussing spiritedly, thinking that the person who attacked was unfathomably strong. However, he was clear that he was just using the uniqueness of his ability.

In terms of actual combat strength, he felt that some of the big shots who had come out to search for him today could pose a threat to him.

Because of the distraction, Gu Chen had consumed a lot of spirit energy, but he didn't dare to withdraw the spiritual senses that he had attached to the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Butterfly.

He was still observing the movements of people on the Gods Mountain, keeping his guard up against the big shots who had come out to search for him today.

He carefully tried to recall if he had made a mistake. When he was sure that none of the big shots had discovered his existence, he heaved a sigh of relief.

"Only my old friends know that I came to the Gods Mountain, but Lanchu and the others won't betray me. As for people like Hong Taiyi and Feng Jiuqian, no one will believe them even if they tell others about it."

Gu Chen thought that his biggest flaw was the Kunlun Sword, but it was necessary to give this sword to Lanchu.

The Kunlun Sword and the Kunlun Mirror were a set. Now that Lanchu had mastered the inheritance of the Kunlun Sword, no one was more suitable to have this sword than her.

Gu Chen knew that he was in a precarious situation and couldn't protect Lanchu forever. She had to become stronger on her own. That was why he chose to take the risk.

Of course, he knew that she had been waiting for him all night, but he couldn't show himself …

Ever since the mysterious expert had saved Kunlun Saintess, no one on the Gods Mountain dared to attack Kunlun Saintess anymore.

Kunlun Saintess also didn't go around challenging people like she did three days ago. She became much more low-key.

The origin of the mysterious expert became the hottest topic among countless cultivators, and most people were inclined to believe that the expert was Gu Xunfeng of the True Spirit Clan.

Gu Xunfeng's prestige skyrocketed because of this, but he was also challenged by many geniuses.

Not everyone would retreat in the face of difficulties. It was said that Gu Xunfeng was very strong, and some people who wanted to compete for the Genius Roll of 65,555 Tribes kept finding trouble with him.

The experts from their clans were stripped naked and thrown at the foot of the Gods Mountain. Since they couldn't find the real culprit, they vented their anger on Gu Xunfeng.

For a while, this top genius from the True Spirit Clan was constantly in trouble.

Affected by this incident, the atmosphere of sparring on the Gods Mountain became even more intense, and the various forces kept clashing.

Gu Chen didn't care about what was happening in the outside world. The competition between geniuses and heroes did not attract him at all.

His attention was still on finding clues about his father, but it was already the fourth day, and he still hadn't found any useful clues.

He did find a few people who were suspected to be members of the Pure Spirit Kingdom, but after the Island Lord and the Dragon Horse tried to contact them, they didn't find any useful clues.

This made him secretly anxious. There was only half of the time left before the Divine Realm opened, but there were still no clues. It was a terrible thing for his plan.

"I can't let this go on!"

On the fourth night, Gu Chen decided to take the initiative.

However, the Demonic Sky-Devouring Butterfly was too ineffective in finding clues, and the Island Lord and the Dragon Horse's probing was too gentle.

Gu Chen decided to take the initiative to attack the people of the Pure Spirit Kingdom, and capture one of them to find out his father's whereabouts!

Previously, he was worried that he would alert the enemy, so he had been holding back. But now, he realized that if he didn't take some risks, it would be hard for things to turn around.

"Who should we attack?"

The Island Lord, Jiang Baiming, and the Dragon Horse understood Gu Chen's feelings, and didn't care how risky this matter was.

"The ordinary members of the Pure Spirit Kingdom might not know where my father is. If we want to catch them, we have to catch a big fish."

Gu Chen's eyes flickered. He had dealt with the Pure Spirit Kingdom many times, and he knew that the Man with a Bamboo Hat was very cautious. The ordinary members were only responsible for following orders, and they knew very little about secrets.

Under such circumstances, capturing the ordinary members was meaningless, and it would only alert the enemy.

"In the last few days, the people we found were very cautious, and it's hard to determine their positions in the Pure Spirit Kingdom."

Penglai Island Lord thought. He had secretly contacted several people, but he wasn't sure if they were the big fish that Gu Chen wanted.

"I've found the big fish. I hope he won't disappoint us."
