Three hundred and eighty-ninth chapter heavy walking ghost market
Eastern Wasteland, outside the Ghost Ruins.
Gu Chen, the Ghost King and the eight girls finally arrived at their destination after many days of traveling.
The abandoned ancient city came into view. Even though it was noon, I still felt gloomy and gloomy as I approached this place.
"The Ghost Emperor's temperament is hard to fathom. Too many people entering the Ghost Ruins may offend him. Furthermore, the Ghost Emperor may not kill Gu Daozi, but he may not give preferential treatment to others, so it is safest for you all to stay outside."
The Ghost King looked at Lu Yichen, Zhao Rou and others.
The eight girls looked at each other, uneasy about Gu Chen entering alone.
"Don't worry, the Ghost King is with me. You will be on guard around the Ghost Ruins until we come out."
Gu Chen said, his expression was calm, and the eight girls could only nod their heads when they saw this.
So Gu Chen and the Ghost King walked side by side into the Ghost Ruins, accompanied by White Ape.
The city walls were ancient and mottled, and many buildings seemed to be soaked in black blood. Gu Chen once again set foot in the ghost ruins, and still felt that the place was indescribably eerie.
He did not relax in his heart. Although Jiang Yu speculated that the Ghost Emperor treated him differently, this was a dangerous place after all, and if anything went wrong, something unexpected might happen.
"It's been a long time since I've been here."
The Ghost King looked at the dead city around him and sighed.
"According to the legends left by our ancestors, the Ghost Ruins is the birthplace of our ghost clan. However, since the Ghost Emperor proclaimed himself here, it has been difficult for our ghost clan to come here."
"The last time I came here, I encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation and needed help from the Nine Yin Stone. That time I met the Ghost Emperor and was warned by him not to set foot here again. Since then, I have never come back."
From the Ghost King's words, Gu Chen learned about the Ghost Emperor from a side perspective. The Ghost Clan was indeed unkind. It stands to reason that the Ghost Clan on the mainland are extremely rare now. The Ghost Emperor should have treated the Ghost King differently, but he didn't allow him to do so.
Feel free to step into this place.
If it weren't for confronting the great enemy Huangfu Wuji this time, and with Gu Chen by his side, the Ghost King wouldn't dare to enter rashly, for fear of being killed by the Ghost Emperor who doesn't recognize his relatives.
The Ghost King described by the Ghost King had a weird personality and was extremely difficult to get along with. Gu Chen realized that it might not be easy to persuade him to come out.
The two walked slowly into the city. In the abandoned buildings, shadows could be seen flashing past from time to time, and lonely ghosts were peering at them.
"Just here. I don't know where the Ghost Emperor is. If he is willing to see us, he will come out."
The Ghost King stopped and said.
Gu Chen nodded, looked at the empty street, and said loudly, "Junior Gu Chen, please see Senior Ghost Emperor."
Please see Senior Ghost Emperor, please see Senior Ghost Emperor...
His voice spread far away and actually echoed in this desolate ancient city.
The ghost figures in the surrounding buildings moved slightly, as if they were disturbed by Gu Chen.
No one responded for a long time, so Gu Chen called again several times.
The only answer he received was the dead silence that filled the city.
"This is not good anymore."
The Ghost King looked serious when he saw this. They bet that the Ghost King would treat Gu Chen differently, so they dared to come here.
But now the Ghost Emperor has not responded. It is definitely not because he is absent or unaware. His failure to answer means that he does not want to pay attention!
Gu Chen did not give up and continued to repeat his words one after another.
It's a pity that the huge ghost market is full of his echoes and nothing else.
The Ghost King opened his mouth, wanting to say that I am afraid we are going to fail, but the words could not come out.
Contacting the Ghost Emperor is the top priority of the first step of the plan. If they fail without even meeting each other, it will be a major blow to the entire plan.
"It's daytime now, maybe Senior Ghost Emperor doesn't want to show up."
Gu Chen said, then sat down and decided to wait until dark before asking to see him again.
He must meet the Ghost Emperor no matter what this time, it has a bearing on the overall situation!
It soon became dark, and the moon rose high into the sky. Looking over the ghost ruins, it showed a touch of pale green.
And the demons, monsters, wandering corpses and souls in the city also began to move around.
"Junior Gu Chen, please see Senior Ghost Emperor!"
Gu Chen spoke loudly again, and his voice spread throughout the city.
His thunderous voice immediately alarmed a large number of lonely ghosts in the city.
"Woo——"
There were gusts of sinister wind and whimpers everywhere. In the darkness, unknown entities such as blue-armored skeletons and winged corpses gathered in the direction of Gu Chen. There were even the neighing of war horses in the distance, and a large number of sinister soldiers passed through the streets.
It seems that they are here to punish the intruders who disturb the peace.
"roll!"
The Ghost King saw many dark things, his face showed murderous intent, and the sharp horns on his head glowed faintly with blood-red light.
He was originally the king of the ghost clan and had no fear of these dark existences. When he became angry, a large number of ghosts showed fear and retreated into the darkness.
The ghost tribe is good at enslaving dead souls and refining corpses.
The Ghost King suppressed the lonely ghosts who tried to approach, while Gu Chen repeatedly begged to see the Ghost King over and over again.
His voice became louder and louder, causing countless dead souls in the ghost ruins to wake up, and the yin energy rushed into the sky and turned into dark clouds.
However, the Ghost Emperor had no response!
"Gu Daozi, it seems that the Ghost Emperor doesn't want to see us."
The Ghost King sighed, and although he was unwilling to do so, he still said, "Let's leave here. Since the Ghost King doesn't want to show up, if we continue to force him, we will make him unhappy, and it will be difficult to leave."
The Ghost Emperor is not someone you can see just by looking at the thatched cottage. Once he feels disgusted with someone who is pestering him, even if he treats someone differently one moment, it is not uncommon to kill them directly the next moment.
It would be such an injustice if he died here because of this.
Gu Chen shook his head, his eyes firm.
"You have to see the Ghost Emperor no matter what. If you leave without seeing him, will the three foreign races still have the confidence to lobby?"
His words made the Ghost King smile bitterly and replied, "If the Ghost Emperor refuses to see him, we will never see him."
"Then let's go find him. When we get in front of him, he will always respond to us."
Gu Chen said calmly.
"It's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers."
The Ghost King clicked his tongue.
"You said that the Ghost Emperor treats me differently. If this is the case, I have to give it a try."
Gu Chen smiled gracefully, and his pair of pupils quickly turned purple in the darkness, while his consciousness stretched out overwhelmingly.
He kept his word and really wanted to find the Ghost Emperor.
"Brother Ghost King, since you have been to the Ghost Ruins, do you know what secrets there are here?"
After a while, Gu Chen found nothing. The ghost ruins looked like an empty city, and it was impossible to tell where the ghost emperor was hiding.
"According to the last words of our ancestors, Guixu is the birthplace of our clan, but I have only come here a handful of times, so I don't really understand it."
"The Ghost Emperor has lived the longest among our ghost clan and has been operating here for a long time. If he really wants to hide, no one can find him."
Gu Chen frowned. If this was the case, he would really be helpless.
The Ghost Emperor refused to see him, and they couldn't find him, so they reached a deadlock.
"Hehehe..."
At the corner of the street, a strange girl's laughter suddenly sounded.
Gu Chen and the Ghost King couldn't help but look wary, and Bai Yuan's eyes widened even more, as if he had recalled something.
A red shadow flashed past the corner of the street and appeared in front of Gu Chen and Gu Chen in the blink of an eye, startling them.
