Chapter 98

Gu Chen nodded.

This matter concerned the Nether God Palace. Whether it was a dragon's pond or a tiger's den, he had to explore it.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, why don't you wait a few days for me to recover my strength and then go with you?"

Cultivator Zhu couldn't help but ask.

If it weren't for Gu Chen, he would've been dead. He was grateful to him and didn't want him to take the risk alone.

"I'm afraid it'll be too late by then."

Gu Chen refused. Because of Qianjue, that rat's shit, they might have already been exposed.

There was no time to lose. He just wanted to enter Seven Kill City as soon as possible.

Seeing Gu Chen's firm attitude, Cultivator Zhu didn't try to stop him and truthfully told him about the Celestial Court's informant.

"Fellow Daoist, be careful."

The group bid farewell to Gu Chen and left with Huang Pingzhang.

Gu Chen walked alone to Seven Kill City. Along the way, his appearance and body gradually changed. When he neared the city gate, he had changed from a youthful youth to a powerful, dark-faced man.

As soon as he entered the city, he followed Cultivator Zhu's instructions and arrived at a secluded residence.

He lightly knocked on the door twice, then three times. With a creak, the door opened!

A vigorous youth poked his head out and cautiously said. "The True Dragon is lonely, duckweed on the water of the universe."

Gu Chen immediately replied. "Travel south to the Flame Sea Meadow, open the Celestial Court in the fertile land."

The vigorous youth's expression relaxed. He opened the door and welcomed Gu Chen in.

"You're late." His first words caused Gu Chen to frown.

"What happened?"

"That Cao Xuanbin has been hiding in the Peng Family in the city. But not long ago, the Peng Family's spies sent back news that a group of people broke into the Peng Family and forcibly took him away."

Gu Chen's expression darkened. "Is it people from the Nether God Palace or Yellow Spring Pavilion?"

"That group of people doesn't look like humans or ghosts. If I'm not wrong, they should be people from Yellow Spring Pavilion. In fact, our spies have long since noticed their presence. They entered the city yesterday, but they are biding their time. "

"There seems to be a battle outside the city. Did you guys fight with someone? I reckon that they sensed that there were other forces keeping an eye on them, so they couldn't wait to snatch Cao Xuanbin away. "

The vigorous young man's words made Gu Chen feel gloomy. It seemed that Qian Jue Granny had alerted them, and they had lost the upper hand. Acheron Tower had taken the lead!

"How long have they been gone? Where are we going? "Gu Chen asked hurriedly.

"They naturally left in the opposite direction of the disturbance caused by the battle of cultivators outside the city."

When Gu Chen heard this, he immediately wanted to give chase.

"Wait, you're going alone? Where are the others? "

As far as he knew, the Celestial Court should have sent a ten-man investigation team.

"It's just me." Gu Chen didn't explain further.

"Then you'd better go back to where you came from. Let me tell you, Acheron Tower has sent a total of 75 Spirit Summoners. Each of them is equivalent to the Bronze Assassins of the Celestial Court. "

"Moreover, they seem to be taking him to the higher-ups. If you chase after them, you might encounter experts like the Spirit Devourer."

The vigorous young man said.

"Thank you for the reminder."

Gu Chen only said a few words before he disappeared on the spot, causing the capable young man to shake his head repeatedly.

"Another person who wants merit points more than his life."

Gu Chen followed the informant's hint and left Qisha City. He spread his Wind Travel Wings and searched in a direction.

He returned to his white robe and mask appearance. His eyes under the mask were purple and shiny.

When he activated his Purple Extreme Pupils, he could easily see everything dozens of miles away.

This provided him with the condition to detect the enemy's presence in advance. He carefully followed.

Without a doubt, he was outnumbered. He didn't plan to be a hero and snatch Cao Xuanbin from Acheron Tower.

However, he couldn't give up just like that. He might be able to get some useful information if he continued to follow.

Before long, a small group of black figures appeared on the ground in front of him!

It was a group of people wearing yellow Taoist robes and ghost masks. With Gu Chen's excellent eyesight, he counted their number at a glance. There were exactly 75 of them, which coincided with what the informant had said.

In their group, there was a fat young man who didn't fit in with their temperament. He was casually carried on the back of a Spirit Summoner and couldn't move.

Gu Chen's Wind Travel Wings stopped almost immediately. Even though they were dozens of miles away and it was impossible for them to discover him.

His pupils contracted, and his gaze focused on the opposite side of Acheron Tower's group.

There was another group of people in front of them!

The reason why Gu Chen could catch up to them so quickly was that another group of people had already blocked them!

The other group of people wore black robes embroidered with dark sparrows. They wore hoods and exuded a cold and gloomy aura.

Underworld God Palace!

They had blocked the Acheron Tower's group, and both parties were in a standoff.

When he saw his enemies again and recalled that it was this group of people who had personally caused the tragedy in Feng Lin Manor, Gu Chen's eyes became bloodthirsty. He wanted nothing more than to kill them all.

However, he quickly calmed down and descended from the sky. He slowly approached the two groups of people from the ground.

The two groups of people were simply in a standoff. They didn't make a move and were in a strange state. He didn't know what they were negotiating about, so he wanted to figure it out first.

Circulating the Underworld God Palace's Breath Concealing Technique and the Celestial Court's Essence Locking Technique, Gu Chen's entire body instantly turned into transparent air under the senses of ordinary cultivators.

The Underworld God Palace's Breath Concealing Technique was mainly used to hide one's cultivation and aura, while the Celestial Court's Essence Locking Technique was used to suppress the exuberant Blood Qi in one's body. Both techniques had their own profoundness, and when they were used at the same time, the effect would be doubled.

Gu Chen sneakily approached the two groups of people. Very soon, he was less than two miles away.

At this time, he didn't advance any further. On one hand, he activated the Purple Extreme Pupils to check, while on the other hand, he spread out his divine sense.

Gu Chen, who cultivated the Moonlight Soul Refining Technique, had a range that was more than ten times greater than those of the same cultivation level. His level was also obviously higher.

The most obvious benefit of this was that in the situation where their cultivation levels were similar, he could use his divine sense to check others without being detected. However, when others checked him, he would be able to sense it.

The divine sense of an ordinary late-stage cultivator of the Transcendent Power Realm could only cover a radius of about 855 feet, which was only equivalent to the standard of Gu Chen's early-stage.

But now that he had stepped into the late-stage, the range of his divine sense was a whole 6,555 feet, which was almost comparable to that of a Nirvana Realm cultivator.

The advantage that this brought him usually didn't feel like much, but at this moment, it was clearly reflected.

Gu Chen's divine sense spread out, and the conversation between the two groups of people instantly fell into his ears.

"Everyone from the Netherworld Pavilion, our Underworld God Palace is determined to get this Cao Xuanbin. We hope that you can keep him here."

"In your dreams. We've already got him, so how could we give him to you? If you want us to give him to you, it's not impossible. But first, tell us, why is your Underworld God Palace so obsessed with him? "

"Isn't it enough that you've annihilated the Cao Family? You've also persevered in pursuing such an unremarkable youth. Presumably, there's something special about him, right?"

The people from the Netherworld Pavilion tried their best to probe.
