"Qingniu heard that there was a problem with the Kunlun Protoss and has already volunteered. He went to the Hengting Star Territory two days ago to investigate. I believe that useful information will be sent back soon."
After Tang Ning continued what the leader of the Desolate God Clan said, Gu Chen's brows relaxed slightly after hearing this.
Qingniu is strong enough, and it has stayed with Lan Chu on the main planet of Kunlun for ten years. It knows the situation there, so it is very suitable to investigate this matter.
Now that it has appeared, I believe we will soon understand what happened.
Gu Chen put aside this matter for the time being and continued to discuss many important matters with the generals.
The meeting lasted for two hours before everything was dealt with. At this time, Gu Chen did not rest and directly summoned the messenger from the underworld.
The heavenly generals left one after another, and Gu Chen sat in the main hall, thinking about what conditions the messengers from the underworld would negotiate with him, and what he would do to convince them to join the heavenly court.
This force is so important and is the first step in rebuilding the fairy world. Only by winning over them can we hope to bring back the forces of the fairy world such as the Yuhua Sect and Linglong Fairy Palace.
"The messenger from the underworld has arrived!"
After a while, the heavenly soldiers reported, and then they saw a man in gray robe stepping into the hall.
This man looked to be in his late fifties, with a cold face like a knife and a gloomy temperament.
As soon as Gu Chen saw his appearance, all the words he had been planning suddenly got stuck in his throat.
"Ghost Emperor?"
Gu Chen was shocked because this person turned out to be the Ghost Emperor whom he had not seen for many years!
Before Gu Chen could ask, the Ghost Emperor bowed politely to him on the throne.
"The messenger from the underworld, Gui Jue, meets Lord Gu Chengu, the first general in heaven."
The Ghost Emperor's voice was calm, without any emotion that one would expect when an old friend reunites, as if he didn't know Gu Chen.
Gu Chen was speechless for a moment, and his face became uncertain.
Ghost?
The other person doesn't seem to recognize him. Could it be that he just looks the same as the Ghost Emperor?
It would be fine if they were just similar in appearance, but the fact that the other party came on behalf of the underworld suddenly made Gu Chen's imagination run wild.
"Back when I was traveling through time and space, I once saw a bone ship fall from the sky and take away the Ghost Emperor and the Ghost King."
"Later I stepped into the starry sky, I was also curious about which Shinto force took away the Ghost Emperor. I did a simple investigation, but unfortunately it ended in vain."
"Underworld, Underworld, Underworld Immortal Emperor... I see, because Lan Chu and the others were all taken away by Shinto forces back then, so I subconsciously thought that the same was true for the Ghost Emperor."
"But the fact is that the forces that traced the origin seeds to the ancient star of Canghuang 30,000 years ago are not all Shinto..."
Gu Chen murmured in his heart, and after a little thought with his wisdom, he came to a clear understanding.
The inheritance of the Ghost Emperor comes from the underworld under the Ghost Ruins, and the underworld is said to be the entrance to the underworld, and even the founder of the underworld force is the underworld emperor.
I'm afraid that the Ghost Emperor and the Ghost King were taken away by the underworld back then. Although the meeting between the two was unexpected, when you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
But, why does the Ghost Emperor look like he doesn't recognize himself?
Gu Chen was puzzled. After thinking for a while, he asked everyone in the hall to retreat and talk to the Ghost Emperor alone.
He guessed that perhaps it was because both parties now represented a different force, so the Ghost Emperor did not want to expose the relationship between the two in front of others.
Gu Chen asked everyone to step back. When the Ghost Emperor saw this, his expression did not change much and he said politely.
"Master Gu, Tianting performed extremely well in the previous battle with the Supreme Being from Outside the Realm. Especially, Master Gu, you are the well-deserved overlord of my ninth realm."
"The master of my palace was inspired by the victory of Heavenly Court and intended to form an alliance with Heavenly Court, so he specially ordered me to visit here and discuss the specific conditions of the alliance with Mr. Gu."
Gu Chen listened to what the Ghost Emperor said, and the more he listened, the weirder he became.
Based on the friendship between the Ghost Emperor and himself, he would never speak like this.
He was surprised but did not expose it and said calmly, "I don't know what the conditions of the Lord of the Underworld are. Can you tell me."
The Ghost Emperor seemed to be waiting for this sentence, and his expression became very serious.
"I heard that the Huangquan Dao Sword is in Master Gu's hands. I wonder if this is true?"
Gu Chen nodded. "That's true."
Huangxian used the Huangquan Dao Sword in the battle on the Milky Way, and Gu Chen used it again in the battle with the two outsiders half a month ago. It is not difficult for the underworld to find out this news.
He thought deeply for a moment that the Huangquan Dao Sword was the imperial weapon of Huang Quan Immortal Emperor. As the power inherited by Huang Quan Immortal Emperor, the underworld mentioned it as soon as he opened his mouth. I am afraid that the alliance was false and the request for the Huang Quan Dao Sword was real.
"As everyone knows, the Huangquan Dao Sword is the imperial weapon of the Huangquan Immortal Emperor, and it should belong to my underworld."
"But after the ancient times, with the disappearance of Immortal Emperor Huangquan, this soldier also disappeared. Unexpectedly, it ended up in the hands of General Huangtian, and finally passed into the hands of Master Gu."
"The meaning of our Palace Master is this. If Master Gu can return the Huangquan Dao Sword, then our Hell will form an alliance with Heaven as soon as possible, and both parties will share weal and woe from now on."
The Ghost Emperor spoke quickly, and it turned out that just as Gu Chen had guessed, he was here for the Huangquan Dao Sword.
Gu Chen didn't speak for a while, thinking about it in his mind.
The Huangquan Dao Sword is indeed a relic of the Huangquan Immortal Emperor, and logically there is nothing wrong with returning it.
Except for the Sky-Striking Sword, which he left with the Overlord, the Underworld Dao Sword, the Ancient Treasure Tree and the Styx River were all left by him, so it would not be troublesome to hand them over.
However, the Ghost Emperor's unfamiliarity with him made Gu Chensheng wary, and he always felt that there seemed to be something fishy in it.
"I wonder what Mr. Gu thinks? If Mr. Gu is willing to return the Huangquan Dao Sword, I will be extremely grateful."
Seeing that Gu Chen was silent, the Ghost Emperor took the initiative to ask.
Only then did Gu Chen come back to his senses and said with a smile. "It's okay to return the Huangquan Dao Sword. It's just that the matter is serious and I want to negotiate with the Lord of the Underworld face to face."
The Ghost Emperor heard this and said, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Master Gu is very considerate, but it is okay to hand over the Underworld Dao Sword to me. The palace master is in retreat now, so I might not be able to meet you. Since I am the envoy of the underworld, I naturally represent the master of the underworld, and I will never go back on my promise."
Gu Chen's eyes flickered for a moment, retreating?
Since the Lord of the Underworld attaches so much importance to the Huangquan Taoist Sword and sent an envoy here shortly after the war, why did he retreat to seclusion at this time?
The Ghost Emperor's preface and last words are indeed somewhat contradictory.
"Since the Palace Master wants to form an alliance with my Heavenly Court, he must show enough sincerity. Do you think you can take the Huangquan Dao Sword from me with just a few words from your messenger?"
Gu Chen's voice deliberately became colder.
The Ghost Emperor's expression immediately changed when he heard this. "Master Gu, please don't misunderstand me. The palace master is naturally sincere. If you insist on meeting, the palace master will naturally not refuse."
"Oh? First you said it was inconvenient for the Palace Master to meet, but now you can meet him? When did you, a mere messenger, be able to make a decision for the Palace Master of the Underworld? Don't you need to ask for permission?"
