"If you want to integrate the Ancient Heavenly Court, Tangning may be able to help me. In addition, the young supreme leader outside the world, Fang Wen, is very difficult. If he is really like the rumors, perhaps only Tangning can deal with him."
Gu Chen's eyes flickered and he began to think seriously.
The plan to attack Huangdi and Gutianting was so meticulous that it would not be possible without masters to control it.
Fang Wen obviously played an extremely important role in this. It can be said that the reason why Gutianting suffered heavy losses was mainly because of him.
Gu Chen knew very well how terrifying the divination skills related to fate were. Even if he was powerful, he would be tricked to death if he was not careful.
Tang Ning claims to have counted all the people and is ranked third on the Immortal Killing List. He is the only one who can deal with Fang Wen.
The more Gu Chen thought about it, the more he felt the need to find Tang Ning. When he returned to his residence, he asked Brother Jiang if he had any news about Tang Ning.
"I inquired about Tangning when I came here. It is said that he left the Ancient Heavenly Court after he was removed from the position of Heavenly General. Some people say that he was imprisoned for reflection, while others say that he lived in seclusion."
Jiang Baiming replied that Tangning had been kind to him, so he was naturally concerned about his whereabouts.
Gu Chen frowned upon hearing this. If Tang Ning lived in seclusion, it would be troublesome. Where could he find him?
"Although I don't know where Tangning went, there is someone in the Ancient Heaven who should know." Jiang Baiming said with an intriguing smile.
"Who?" Gu Chen was stunned.
"Xuan Nu! It is said that Xuannv and Tang Ning have an unusual relationship, don't you know?" Jiang Baiming winked.
"Is there such a thing?" Gu Chen was very surprised. Thinking about it carefully, compared to other generals, the relationship between Tang Ning and Xuannv seemed to be better.
"You have only been in Ancient Heaven for a short time, and you only know how to cultivate, so you have never heard of these romantic stories." Jiang Baiming shook his head, and then he was going to talk about some indescribable things that he had heard from people.
Long Ma and Bai Yuan immediately gathered around to listen curiously, while Gu Chen shook his head and went back to his room to rest. "Since Xuannv may know, I will ask her again when she returns to Xuannv Palace."
…
The news of Overlord Gu Chen's return to Ancient Heaven quickly spread in Xuannv Palace, causing quite a commotion within Ancient Heaven.
Many heavenly soldiers have mixed opinions about this overlord who has served as a heavenly general for a very short time. Some believe that his return will alleviate the current crisis faced by the ancient heaven, while others believe that his position in the divine world is unclear and cannot be easily trusted.
The only thing the two sides holding two views have in common is that no one doubts his strength.
The story of Emperor Huang's battle in the Milky Way has long been spread. As the descendant of Emperor Huang, many people have great expectations for Gu Chen.
A few days after Gu Chen came back, many commanders of the heavenly army asked to see him one after another. The heavenly generals who went out to fight would come to visit as soon as possible when they returned.
Gu Chen welcomes visitors, and from their mouths he can more intuitively understand the current situation on the battlefield.
The situation is not optimistic. The coalition forces headed by three young supreme beings from outside the world are pressing forward step by step. They are constantly narrowing the scope of activities of Ancient Heavenly Court. Xuannv Palace does not have much time left before being exposed.
Every day, a large number of heavenly soldiers are killed or injured. Their route is often discovered inexplicably, and they are subsequently met with inhumane massacres.
If the fall of heavenly soldiers is an inevitable loss in war, the successive sacrifices of several heavenly generals have left a heavy shadow on the hearts of everyone in the ancient heaven.
Gu Chen learned from the visiting General Lan that as of now, there are less than twenty generals in Ancient Heaven, only nineteen.
What does it mean that there are only nineteen generals left?
When Gu Chen attended the Tianyin Pavilion meeting for the first time, there were thirty generals present. In just a few years, one-third of the generals had fallen. You can imagine how declining the ancient heaven was.
Although the fall of the general was not entirely due to this battle, but also due to the chaos in the divine world two years ago, the losses caused by this disaster were still unbearable.
When the ancient immortal world was still there, there were one hundred and eight heavenly generals in the ancient heaven. But how desolate is it now?
If the Emperor Jiuquan knew about this, he would definitely die in silence.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen became more determined to reform Gu Tianting.
Because some people in Gutianting did not trust Gu Chen and his group, Gu Chen did not go out to fight for a few days after returning.
He watched the entire battle and made his own strategic considerations.
On the fourth day of staying in Xuannv Palace, Xuannv came back from outside.
She just came back and came to Gu Chen's residence without Gu Chen looking for her.
The two sat down facing each other, and Gu Chen personally poured tea for Xuannv.
It turns out that although the two had met many times on different occasions, they could not be said to be very familiar with each other, so Xuan Nu behaved a little unnaturally.
After drinking a cup of tea, Xuannv adjusted her mentality. When she opened her mouth, she did not mention the current sluggish war, but instead talked about the vast starry sky.
"Now everyone is saying that the Ninth Realm has ushered in a golden age. Strong men have emerged one after another, and geniuses from outside the world have also come in droves to get a share of the pie. What do you think, Overlord?"
Gu Chen unexpectedly glanced at Xuannv and answered concisely. "The golden world only belongs to my ninth realm."
Xuannv smiled when she heard this and said cheerfully, "In the Tianyin Pavilion meeting, no matter what the Overlord wants to do, I will stand by you."
Gu Chen raised his eyebrows, "Follow me no matter what I do?"
Xuannv nodded firmly, as if she already understood Gu Chen's goal of returning to heaven this time.
Gu Chen couldn't help but feel a burst of admiration in his heart. Such a vigorous and resolute act, no wonder everyone said that Xuannv was the embodiment of beauty and wisdom.
After exchanging views on the current situation with Xuan Nu, Gu Chen asked about Tang Ning.
When Tang Ning was mentioned, Xuan Nu's expression became more complicated.
Gu Chen touched his chin. It seemed that as Brother Jiang said, Xuan Nu and Tang Ning were indeed having an affair.
"I wonder why Overlord is looking for Tangning?" Xuannv said thoughtfully.
"I have something to ask him for help." Gu Chen said with a smile.
Xuan Nu's expression suddenly became strange. "Does the Overlord not care about Tang Ning's previous expulsion of you from the Ancient Heavenly Court?"
Gu Chen shook his head and said, "Although Tangning expelled me from the Ancient Heaven, it did not cause much disadvantage to me. Back then, he led me into the starry sky and gave me some opportunities. This is a blessing."
"The world often only remembers the grudges and hatred, but forgets the kindness. It is rare to be like the Overlord." Xuan Nu said with emotion.
"Does Xuannv know where Tangning is now?" Gu Chen asked again.
"I know, after being deposed from the position of Heavenly General two years ago, Tang Ning said that she would imprison herself for self-reflection and live in seclusion somewhere until now." Xuan Nu answered truthfully.
"Oh? Where is he living in seclusion now?" Gu Chen's eyes couldn't help but light up.
"It is said that the place where he lives in seclusion is not far from Xuannv Palace. He was shameless enough to go there from me back then."
Xuannv's expression was filled with helplessness as she answered.
