Chapter 985

One by one, the strong enemies disappeared into the shadows. Chen Buqi, Feng Jiuqian, and the rest all heaved a sigh of relief. Only then did they realize that their backs were drenched in cold sweat.

Judging from the aura emitted by that group of people just now, if they had insisted on attacking tonight, not many of them would have survived.

"Brother Gu, where did that group of people come from? Why did they attack you? "

With the crisis averted, Shi Jian asked Gu Chen. The rest also looked at him.

Tonight, Gu Chen only drank with them but did not mention the reason he came to the meeting in the Divine Realm. They were not fools. How could they not know?

Therefore, everyone was somewhat clear-headed tonight. However, they did not expect to run into such a dangerous situation.

Based on the experience of Shi Jian, Qi Zeyan, and the rest, they could tell that the group of people just now was not simple. In terms of strength, they could not think of any force that could fight them alone.

After provoking such a strong enemy, Gu Chen's situation could be imagined!

Gu Chen looked at his old friends and was very grateful for their help tonight.

However, this matter involved the Pure Spirit Kingdom. If he told them, he might implicate them.

Moreover, he had a secret deal with Wu Lingxian. It was related to his father's safety, so it was even more inappropriate to tell them.

"Thank you for your concern. When this matter is over, I will tell you the truth."

Gu Chen said seriously. Everyone understood that he did not want to say it!

"It's fine if you don't say it, but I want to stay with you."

Ji Lanchu gritted her teeth. Lu Yichen, Zhao Rou, and the rest also spoke up.

Gu Chen shook his head and rejected everyone's good intentions. "If you still treat me as a friend, please believe me and pretend that you don't know anything about what happened tonight."

Gu Chen was determined, and the rest did not want to get to the bottom of it. Sensing that many auras were approaching, it was obvious that the commotion earlier had attracted people. Therefore, they all left and agreed to meet another day.

The others were easy to negotiate with, but only Ji Lanchu refused to leave. She simply followed behind Gu Chen.

Gu Chen saw that she was determined to follow him, even disregarding the identity of Kunlun Saintess. He sighed and said to Jiang Baiming and the others. "You guys go back first."

Everyone left, leaving Gu Chen and Ji Lanchu alone at a place close to the Nether Realm members' residence.

"Lanchu, there are some things I can't tell you in this situation." Gu Chen looked at the beautiful face in front of him and said helplessly.

"Why can't I say it? No matter what it is, I will face it with you this time! "

Ji Lanchu gritted her teeth. She gave up all the reservations of a girl. When she saw Gu Chen again, she decided to be with him no matter what.

Especially when she saw that Gu Chen was clearly in danger, she could not pretend that nothing had happened.

"No, I don't want to drag you into this. If you're here, I will be distracted."

Gu Chen shook his head, then took a deep breath and solemnly promised. "I promise you, when this matter is over, I will come back to find you and give you an explanation. I will give us an explanation for the past ten years."

Hearing this, Ji Lanchu's expression shook. Her beautiful eyes stared straight at Gu Chen, thinking of the words she had faintly heard when she was unconscious.

"When I come back, I will marry you …"

She knew what Gu Chen meant. His eyes were so clear and certain that she felt inexplicably flustered.

"Is what you said true?" Her entire face was red as she asked in a small voice.

Gu Chen nodded and gently pulled Ji Lanchu into his embrace.

Because his life and death were uncertain during this trip to the Divine Realm, he did not want to meet Lanchu.

However, the two of them still acknowledged each other in the end. Since Lanchu's feelings for him had never changed, he did not want to lie to himself.

If he could successfully save his father this time, he wanted to marry her, regardless of whether she was the Saintess of Kunlun or the princess of the royal family of Middle Earth!

After receiving Gu Chen's promise, Ji Lanchu, who was leaning in his embrace, could not help but tear up. She felt that the ten years of waiting was all worth it.

"What if, what if you don't come back?" Ji Lanchu choked. She knew that what Gu Chen was going to do was risky.

She was both happy and terrified. She felt that the happiness she had just obtained could disappear at any time.

Gu Chen fell silent. He could not lie to Lanchu and say that he would definitely come back.

Seeing that Gu Chen did not speak, Ji Lanchu forced a smile and wiped away her tears. "Look at you. You don't even know how to lie and coax people."

"You must come back. I'll wait for you. We've agreed that you'll marry me."

She gave Gu Chen a bright smile, then turned and ran away.

She knew that if she did not leave now, she would not be able to bear to leave. If she stayed, she would only cause trouble for this man who had made up his mind.

Gu Chen stared at Ji Lanchu's departing figure in a daze. He could not help but have a strong urge to come back.

This time, he was already prepared to die after going against the Pure Spirit Kingdom. He gradually gave up on the desire to live.

When he saw Lanchu again, she evoked a strong desire to live …

Swoosh!

A strange wind suddenly blew, interrupting Gu Chen's thoughts.

His pupils constricted and he turned around, only to see an old figure slowly walking out of the alley.

"You are?" Gu Chen's expression was solemn.

He had just thought that the people from the Pure Spirit Demon Realm had returned, but the feeling this old man gave him was different from their people.

"Kunlun, Feng Zhen."

The old man replied. His pair of eyes looked at Gu Chen from head to toe.

"The Patriarch of Kunlun?"

Gu Chen was moved. He did not expect this big shot, whose name shook all the major star regions, to take the initiative to find him.

His mind quickly became active. He realized that tonight's movements might have attracted his attention.

"During this Divine Realm meeting, the Old Man kept feeling that there was an invisible hand manipulating everything in the dark. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't figure out anything. I wonder if Little Friend Gu could give the Old Man some pointers?"

The Taoist Priest Feng Zhen took the initiative to speak. He actually knew Gu Chen's real name!

Gu Chen's heart tightened. He did not know how much this Taoist Priest Feng Zhen had seen tonight and how much inside information he knew.

"What do you think, Little Friend Gu? Is there a possibility of cooperation? "The Taoist Priest Feng Zhen asked with a smile when he saw that Gu Chen was not letting down his guard.

Gu Chen's eyes flickered. He analyzed the situation in his mind.

No matter how much this Taoist Priest Feng Zhen had seen tonight, the way he spoke to him now was more of a test. It meant that he was not clear about the Pure Spirit Kingdom's plan.

Logically speaking, he was a first-class big shot in the Divine Realm. If Gu Chen cooperated with him, there was hope that he could disrupt the Pure Spirit Kingdom's plan and make the Man with a Bamboo Hat suffer a great loss.

However, the current situation was too complicated. It was no longer just a personal grudge between him and the Man with a Bamboo Hat.

If he chose to cooperate with the Taoist Priest Feng Zhen, then the Ancient Heaven that was preparing to attack the Divine Realm might encounter a major setback.

Although he had been expelled from the Ancient Heaven, he was not willing to do such a thing.

Moreover, he had a private deal with Wu Lingxian. If he cooperated with the Taoist Priest Feng Zhen, who knew if he could guarantee his father's safety?
