Chu Meixin was extremely fast. After leaving the auction hall, she headed straight for the seaside. Gu Chen turned into a shadow and followed behind.
While chasing Chu Meixin, his consciousness spread out and focused on the direction of the three major auction halls.
The commotion in the Second Hall will alarm all the masters in a short period of time, especially the Great Sage in the Tianzi Hall.
However, monks who have lost their minds are not so easy to control. Even if they are controlled, it will take time to interrogate the truth from them.
This period of time is enough for Chu Meixin to return the Greed Stone to the person in the dark, and due to the chaos at the scene, no one may even notice the truth of Chu Meixin's temporary disappearance.
The other party made a good calculation and ruined the Youyou Street auction with zero loss!
What Chu Meixin took away was only the Greed Stone, not the other auction items in the auction hall. This further proved that the man in the dark came purely for revenge, not for profit.
As Gu Chen thought about it, his body shape and appearance slowly changed, and finally he turned into a lean old man, hiding in the shadows and following him constantly.
After a while, Chu Meixin crossed the sea and arrived at a small island. There was already a person waiting on the edge of the island.
This was an ugly man with green hair. He took the Greed Stone from Chu Meixin and placed it on a crutch, then showed a satisfied smile.
"Thank you for your hard work. Your mission has been completed. Now I give you the last mission. Pick up the sword and wipe your own neck."
The man said to Chu Meixin, his voice was strange. When Chu Meixin heard it, she just nodded in a daze, drew her sword out of its sheath, and was about to kill herself.
"Crossing the river and burning the bridge is not very kind, right?"
Suddenly, an old voice sounded in Chu Meixin's ears, causing a look of struggle on her face and the sword in her hand stopped.
The face of the ugly man who had been smiling suddenly changed, his eyes revealed a bloodthirsty light, and he looked towards the shore.
A lean old man came from nowhere, causing him inexplicable pressure.
"The son of the Fierce Demon Saint?"
Gu Chen looked at the extremely ugly face in front of him, thought of the rumors Haixuan said, and guessed.
"I'm not. Who are you? A street wanderer?"
When the ugly man heard the words "fierce devil saint", his face trembled and he denied it.
Gu Chen observed him and sighed.
"Before, I was wondering why Mrs. Du was unwilling to track down the person who ruined the banquet. After confirming your identity, I finally figured it out."
"The son of the Fierce Demon Saint is the real owner of Youyou Street. Mrs. Du was in the wrong position back then. If she caught you out in front of everyone and you accidentally told some truths, it would be very bad for her. That's why she
Choose to leave the matter alone."
"It's just that she obviously underestimated your strength and your determination to avenge your father. You suffered a serious setback today."
After listening to Gu Chen's words, the ugly man checked his surroundings with his spiritual consciousness and made sure that there were no hidden enemies, so he relaxed a lot.
"Hey, hey, avenge your father? What a cliché plot. The Fierce Demon Saint Jiuquanxia will probably find it funny when he hears it, right?"
The ugly man let out a weird laugh. It was unclear whether he was mocking Gu Chen or laughing at himself.
Gu Chen frowned slightly, "Isn't it?"
"Of course not! My greatest wish in life is to kill the evil demon saint with my own hands!"
Gu Chen's eyes flickered, and he didn't understand what the other party meant. There seemed to be some problems with the other party's mental state.
"In that case, you should be very grateful to Mrs. Du for helping you kill the Fierce Demon Saint. Why did you attack the auction on Youyou Street?" Gu Chen asked.
"Grateful? Hey hey hey..."
The ugly man laughed, with deep hatred in his eyes.
"That woman killed the Fierce Demon Saint one step ahead of me, making my wish never come true. I wish I could tear her into pieces!"
Gu Chen was silent. It seemed that the Fierce Demon Saint's son had an unusual hatred for me. He remembered what Haixuan had said that the Fierce Demon Saint did not approve of his son because of his ugly appearance.
"You are not a wandering street person! Being able to find me is considered a skill. What do you want to do?"
The ugly man judged Gu Chen's identity through the conversation and asked curiously.
Gu Chen glanced at Chu Meixin and said, "Leave her to me first."
"Hey, hey, could it be that a hero saves a beauty? It's just that your request is a bit too much. She is an excellent hostage."
The ugly man's eyes rolled, he raised his crutch and pressed it on Chu Meixin's shoulder.
Chu Meixin, who had some signs of consciousness, suddenly lost her sight, dropped her sword to the ground, and stood motionless.
"Hostage? She is just an ordinary disciple of Jiange, what value can she have?" Gu Chen said calmly.
"In that case, why did you save her?" The ugly man looked in disbelief.
"I want to give you some benefits, but you have to show some sincerity. You don't have what I want, so she can make up the difference." Gu Chen said calmly.
The ugly man was confused and didn't know what the man in front of him meant.
"Speak clearly, or I will kill her directly!"
"You can kill her, but you can't get out of this island alive."
Gu Chen took a step, just one step, and the ugly man's expression became particularly solemn.
He is born with an extremely sharp mind, so he can detect dangers that others cannot detect.
This was the feeling the man in front of him gave him. Under that old skin, there seemed to be some kind of power that made him tremble.
This power made him dare not act rashly. What the other party said was not a big lie. If he wanted to kill him, he might have some confidence!
"Or, choose to let her go and let's sit down and have a good chat."
Gu Chen gave the multiple-choice question, then raised his left hand slightly and looked at the other person calmly.
The ugly man laughed a few times, pushed the crutch in his hand, and Chu Meixin floated towards Gu Chen.
Gu Chen flicked his sleeves and directly put Chu Meixin into the space inside his body, and then pointed to the beach in front of him.
"Sit down and talk."
The two immediately sat down, ten feet apart.
"What's your last name?" Gu Chen asked.
"The surname given by my father has been discarded long ago. As for my mother, she died when she was born and I don't even know her surname, so I don't have a surname. As for my name, there is no need to mention it. You can call me Chou Huang."
The ugly man replied, his voice was very young, much younger than his appearance.
"The Emperor of Ugliness? Is this self-deprecating optimism?" Gu Chen said.
"Whatever you think. It's your name."
The Chou Emperor stared at Gu Chen carefully, guessing whether the old appearance and voice were real. He bet that it was fake, but the other party's disguise technique was so perfect that he couldn't tell his true identity.
"What's the point of making up a random name?"
Gu Chen was too lazy to lie.
"You are honest. It's just that you don't even want to make up a name. What are you going to talk to me about?" The Chou Emperor sneered.
"Although you succeeded today, the Youyou Street auction has been prepared for so long, and it is impossible to cancel it because of you. There is a high probability that the auction will continue to be held tomorrow, and the same trick will not work again. Are you going to stop?
?”
The Chou Emperor's eyes narrowed for a moment, and he felt that the person in front of him was becoming more and more interesting. "How about you take a guess."
"I don't know. If you want to stop, I'll leave now."
Gu Chen's face was expressionless, and the Chou Emperor couldn't see anything. The corner of his mouth said grimly: "I will keep playing this game until this candle burns out."
Gu Chen was not surprised. Not only did the other party have mental problems, but the first time he saw him, he found that his physical condition was extremely poor and he was on the verge of running out of gas.
This didn't look like the body of a holy monk. Gu Chen didn't know whether it was because his body was like this that he didn't stop, or whether he didn't want to stop and his body became like this.
But all in all, this is a person with no tomorrow, and his life may wither at any time.
"In that case, let's shine brighter at the end of our lives."
Gu Chen turned his hand and took out three heart-shaped stones: fear, anger and madness.
The two heart-shaped stones symbolizing greed and joy on the crutch in the Chou Emperor's hand suddenly glowed, echoing with the three in Gu Chen's hand, forming a strange spiritual magnetic field!
The ugly emperor's face was extremely moved, and his breathing became rapid.
"I never thought that before I died, I would see five heart-shaped stones coming together."
After a while, Chou Huang calmed down and looked at Gu Chen deeply.
He was not affected by the mental magnetic field formed by the linkage of the five heart-shaped stones, and his will was stronger than Gu Chen imagined.
Gu Chen threw it casually, and three heart-shaped stones flew over. Chou Huang caught them, his body trembling a little.
"Hey, hey, what a weirdo, what do you want to use me for?"
The Chou Emperor smiled and said, very directly, he knew that there is no free lunch in this world.
"Just make a fuss as you wish." Gu Chen said calmly.
"Then you fish in troubled waters? Wouldn't it be better to tell me your plan and let me cooperate with you?"
The Chou Emperor touched his chin, suddenly understood, and patted his head.
"Oh, you know that even if I can successfully use the power of the five heart-shaped stones, I will inevitably lose my mind. At that time, all plans will be meaningless and will increase the risk of your exposure, so just leave it to me.
"
"You just gave me the creation of the great art without blinking an eye. How important is your plan? It's really curious."
Gu Chen stood up and dusted off the grit from his body.
"It doesn't mean anything to you to know too much. I use you and you use me. Just keep this relationship."
He turned around and walked towards the sea. It was not advisable for him to stay here for too long, and the same was true for the other party. The search network in Binhai City would probably be launched soon.
"Aren't you afraid that I will suddenly risk my life and run away with five heart-shaped stones?"
Looking at Gu Chen's leaving figure, Chou Huang sneered, but Gu Chen didn't respond and quickly disappeared on the sea.
"Ah hey hey hey..."
The Chou Emperor kept laughing on the spot, his laughter filled with desolation.
Gu Chen stayed away from the Chou Emperor and flew alone on the sea, murmuring in a low voice.
"It's a pity...if he wasn't in that state, he might have become my subordinate."
