Chapter 996

When Gu Tianming left Eastern Wilderness' Tian Nan City, Gu Chen was just a weak youth.

After more than ten years, the father and son finally reunited on the Primordial Continent, but it was short-lived. Gu Tianming was quickly taken away by the Man with a Bamboo Hat.

Last time in the depths of the earth, Gu Tianming had used all his strength to fight against the Man with a Bamboo Hat's consciousness. He hadn't had time to see his son, and Gu Chen hadn't had time to talk to his father either.

Thus, this reunion was of great significance to the father and son. After crossing such a vast galaxy, the family was finally reunited!

Gu Tianming was a burly middle-aged man. Usually, he wouldn't change his expression even if Mt. Tai collapsed in front of him. But now, his body was trembling, and his eyes were reddening.

Gu Chen wasn't much better. He'd gone through all these years to finally find his father.

The father and son looked at each other silently, then hugged each other.

At this moment, Gu Tianming couldn't help but burst into tears.

"You've grown up!" He couldn't say anything emotional.

"Father, Mother and Grandfather have been waiting for you to come home," Gu Chen said.

"My father …"

Gu Tianming's expression changed. Compared to him and his own son, he had never met his father before.

The three generations of the Gu Family had suffered too much these past few years!

"Go home, we'll go home together!"

Gu Tianming's emotions fluctuated. He missed his son, missed his beloved wife, and wanted to see his father, whom he'd never met.

Wu Lingxian watched the father and son reunion from the side. His heart was filled with emotion, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Although the father and son of the Gu family had finally reunited after many hardships, at least they'd met again. As for him, he would never be able to see his father again.

"Father, your son is unfilial."

Wu Lingxian murmured. The reason he was willing to help Gu Chen and Gu Tianming wasn't so much to repay their kindness, but to make up for the regret in his heart.

Because he pursued the Great Dao of cultivation, he left home and never returned, so he didn't have the chance to see his father for the last time. This became an eternal regret in his heart.

The most touching thing in the world was family love. Seeing the father and son of the Gu family reunite, his lonely heart felt a little comforted.

After a brief moment of warmth, Gu Chen quickly got down to business with his father. After all, they were not really out of danger yet.

"Father, I've already arranged everything. Once the Pure Spirit Kingdom's plan is on track and the Divine Realm is in chaos, we'll immediately leave this place. Before that, let's find a place to hide, "Gu Chen said.

Gu Tianming looked at his son with a smile. "Alright, I'll listen to you."

The agreement between him and the Man with a Bamboo Hat was that once the matter in the Divine Realm was over, he would regain his freedom.

Regardless of whether the Man with a Bamboo Hat would go back on his words or not, he had decided to follow his son.

"What about you?" Gu Chen looked at Wu Lingxian again. Wu Lingxian had fulfilled his promise to help him rescue his father. If he returned to the Pure Spirit Kingdom just like that, he would definitely not have a good ending.

Since they were going to leave this place, he didn't mind bringing Wu Lingxian along.

"You and your father should leave. With me here, I can still help you buy some time," Wu Lingxian said. It was obvious that he had no intention of leaving with them.

He helped Gu Chen to repay his debt of gratitude and to get rid of the regret in his heart, but he also owed the Jingling Taoist a favor. Therefore, at this critical juncture of the Pure Spirit Kingdom's plan, he did not plan to leave.

Moreover, as the person in charge of monitoring Gu Tianming in the Demon Territory, he could really think of a way to buy time for them to escape if he stayed here.

"No, Brother Wu, you should leave with us. If the Jingling Taoist finds out that I'm not here, it is very likely that he will make things difficult for you! "

Gu Tianming was only able to reunite with his son because of Wu Lingxian's help. He did not want anything to happen to him because of them, otherwise, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.

"Don't worry about it so much. Go back to the Ancient Cang Huang Star. Aren't there a lot of people waiting for you there?"

Wu Lingxian shook his head and showed a rare smile.

He was alone. His only father had died a long time ago. No one was waiting for him to return, so his death was not a pity.

Everything he did now was nothing more than following his own temper.

Gu Tianming tried to persuade Wu Lingxian to leave with him, but the two were in a deadlock. At this time, Gu Chen spoke.

"Father, after you change your appearance, go to the arena first. I will go with Brother Wu."

"What?" The two looked at Gu Chen in astonishment.

"My companions are at the arena. Father, you go and meet them first. Remember not to reveal your true identity. There are also people from the Pure Spirit Kingdom there."

"As for the Man with a Bamboo Hat, I will pretend to be you and follow Brother Wu back. This way, the Man with a Bamboo Hat will have no reason to criticize him."

Gu Chen's words made the two's eyelids twitch.

"Nonsense! Do you know what you are saying? The Jingling Taoist has been eyeing you covetously. If you go, isn't it the same as a moth flying into a flame? "Gu Tianming tried to stop him.

Wu Lingxian, on the other hand, thought more carefully and looked at Gu Chen in surprise. "What do you want to do? Is it not enough to save your father? "

"It's not enough. There must be an end between me and the Man with a Bamboo Hat." Gu Chen's expression was abnormally firm.

The reason why his father was taken away was because the Man with a Bamboo Hat's split soul had seized control of his body.

Now that he saw his father again, although he seemed to be fine, Gu Chen was not at ease. With the Man with a Bamboo Hat's methods, he might have left some tricks in his father's body.

Moreover, his ill-fated relationship with the Man with a Bamboo Hat had lasted from the Kunlun Continent to the Immortal Spirit Continent, and all the way to this starry sky. He had already had enough.

As long as this enemy did not die, he would not have a day of peace. He would always have to be on tenterhooks.

Therefore, other than saving his father, he had to settle things with him!

Wu Lingxian had once taken in Gu Chen, so he knew his temperament very well. Looking at his expression now, he already knew what he was thinking.

"I'm willing to help you reunite with your father, but it doesn't mean that I'm willing to help you deal with the Jingling Taoist." He said honestly.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, you have no way out now. If my father doesn't go back with you, do you think the Man with a Bamboo Hat will let you go? Moreover, the Pure Spirit Kingdom is very powerful. Do you think I can change anything? "

What Gu Chen said was exactly what Wu Lingxian was confused about. Not to mention the fact that the Jingling Taoist was a peak expert in the world, Gu Chen could not deal with him with his current strength. Even if he wanted to deal with the many members of the Demon Domain, it would be hard for him to deal with them.

Under these circumstances, going back with him was simply courting death. He could not think of any reason why he would have the confidence to settle things with the Jingling Taoist.

"If both of us leave today, even if Fellow Daoist Wu can hide it from the Man with a Bamboo Hat for a while, how can you hide it forever? Why don't you take me away? Even if we are exposed, you can still say that you don't know the inside story. "
