The Ghost King was right. After regaining consciousness, the Ghost King talked to them so much and even told Huang Quan the secret.
He seemed to refuse outright, but it was revealed that he had an agenda.
The more simply he refuses at the beginning, the more anxious he will be, and the more room for negotiation the Ghost Emperor will gain!
This is the art of negotiation!
Gu Chen didn't have much experience in negotiating with others. He took the plan to unite the four tribes too seriously. He was so anxious that he almost fell into the Ghost Emperor's trap.
"The matter of uniting the various tribes is of great importance. If I go around asking for help, even if I can succeed, the price I have to pay is unimaginable. What can closely unite the various tribes should be interests. This Ghost Emperor is just
The first negotiating partner must not be led by his nose!"
Gu Chen quickly returned to his previous calmness and wisdom.
Even if the Ghost Emperor lives for 30,000 years, no matter how strong his cultivation is, he will still have a purpose. As long as his true purpose is understood, there will be room for negotiation.
"What are you secretly discussing? If there is nothing else, just leave Huangquan. This is not the place you should stay."
The Ghost Emperor noticed that the two were communicating through voice transmission, but he didn't know what to say specifically, so he said dissatisfied.
Gu Chen's eyes flickered and he bowed slightly. "Since senior has clearly refused, we won't bother you anymore."
After he finished speaking, he simply turned around and left.
The Ghost Emperor couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Even the Ghost King looked surprised and quickly followed.
"Go slowly, don't send me away!"
The Ghost Emperor responded indifferently, and then flew into the vermilion coffin in the underworld. He lay down in it, looking like he was ready to fall asleep.
Gu Chen didn't look back and went straight back the way he came.
"Are we really going to leave? No more persuasion?"
The ghost king asked Gu Chen in surprise.
"You were right just now. The Ghost Emperor definitely has an agenda, but he didn't say it clearly. In this case, if we are led by his lead, the situation will be very unfavorable."
Gu Chen said calmly.
"That's what I said, but what if the Ghost Emperor sees our performance and really lets us go?"
"Brother Ghost King, what do you think the Ghost Emperor can do to me at this level? For this purpose, he even talked in circles." The corners of Gu Chen's lips curled up slightly.
"I can't think of it." The Ghost King shook his head.
"The Ghost Emperor has called himself the Ghost Ruins for so many years. It can be seen that there is no need for external things. He also said before that he is facing the five declines of heaven and man, and even sometimes becomes unconscious because of this. Obviously, the only thing that can make him care about now is this."
"But the five declines of heaven and man are limited by heaven and earth. You can't help him, right?" The Ghost King frowned.
The Ghost Emperor's biggest need at the moment is indeed likely to be related to the five declines of heaven and man, but how can a monk in the immortal realm help a peak heaven and man?
"I don't know the reason, but you'll know if you try. If it's really about this, he will definitely stop us."
The two quickly left the underground underworld and returned to the Futu Tower in the ghost ruins.
"He didn't call us and didn't seem to care."
Seeing that the Ghost Emperor had walked out of the underworld and still hadn't responded, the Ghost King couldn't help but wonder.
"Don't worry, we haven't left the ghost market yet."
Gu Chen said this, but he felt a little unsure in his heart.
He had guessed what the Ghost Emperor wanted. If he guessed wrong, it would be even harder to convince him if he went back shamelessly.
Gu Chen walked towards the outside of the ghost market with an expressionless face and deliberately slowed down his pace.
Thousands of feet, five hundred feet, one hundred feet.
Getting closer and closer to the ghost ruins, Gu Chen could see Lu Yichen and others waiting outside, but the Ghost Emperor still didn't respond, as if he really didn't want to stay!
"Did you guess wrong?"
Gu Chen secretly regretted it in his heart.
The Ghost King sighed, "It seems that things are blown."
Just when the two were less than three meters away from the city, the sound of chains rattling came from behind!
Gu Chen's spirit perked up and he suddenly turned around.
They saw the Ghost Emperor, who had been lying in the coffin before, walking towards him with a somewhat unhappy expression.
Success!
Gu Chen and the Ghost King looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.
Now that the Ghost Emperor has chased him out, it means that the matter has turned around!
"Boy, I won't talk around in circles with you anymore."
The Ghost Emperor looked at Gu Chen coldly. Although he didn't look like the terrifying mummy now, this look still made people feel chilled all over.
He tried to raise the price but failed, and the Ghost Emperor was obviously in a bad mood.
"Senior, speak directly if you have something to say." Gu Chen said seriously.
The Ghost Emperor opened his hands and shook the chains tied to his body. "Can you see it?"
"Senior, are you talking about this iron chain?" Gu Chen considered it.
"No, it's something else." The Ghost Emperor shook his head, "If you can see this thing, I can go out and help you right away."
Gu Chen's expression was shocked, and the Ghost Emperor directly promised that this opportunity would come once in a lifetime!
Gu Chen couldn't help but activate his purple pupils, and his consciousness spread even further to investigate in detail.
It's just that apart from the chains wrapped around him, he couldn't see anything unusual about the Ghost Emperor.
White Ape also started to think about it, but quickly scratched his head and found nothing.
"If you can't see it, it means you are of no use to me now."
The Ghost Emperor saw disappointment in his eyes when he saw that Gu Chen hadn't noticed for a long time.
"What could be there? I can't see anything at all!"
The Ghost King found nothing at the side, and he couldn't help but suspect that the Ghost King was making things up and deliberately making things difficult for them.
The Ghost Emperor looked at Gu Chen and stopped talking. His expression was uncertain, as if he was making calculations in his mind.
"That's all, I'll give you a chance."
The Ghost Emperor finally sighed, he really had no better choice.
"You want me to help you deal with Hades, but I'm in extremely bad shape right now. Not to mention whether I can win the fight or not. Even if I can win, you can't give me the reward I want right now."
"But things can be compromised. If you can really get the support of all the races on the mainland as you plan, then you will have the confidence to compete with Hades. If that is the case, the risk will be greatly reduced, and it may not be impossible for me to take action."
"But this is what you owe me. You owe me a favor, a very important favor. You have to keep it in your heart. When one day you can see what is in me, you must solve this matter for me!"
The Ghost Emperor said seriously, repeatedly emphasizing that Gu Chen would owe him a heavy favor.
Gu Chen thought about these words carefully, and his expression couldn't help but reveal surprise.
The Ghost Emperor means that as long as there are no problems with other ethnic groups, he can take action, which is equivalent to a promise!
And the condition in exchange was that he remembered this favor!
"I promise, senior, I will keep this in mind!"
Gu Chen answered seriously.
The Ghost King beside him was extremely surprised, and he did not expect that things would take a turn for the worse.
It seems that Jiang Yu's conclusion is correct, the Ghost Emperor really treats Gu Chen differently!
"Then let's go! It's not easy to unite the Demon Clan, the Stone Clan, and the Demon Clan. I'm just making an empty promise. Whether you can fulfill it or not depends on your ability."
The Ghost Emperor sneered, turned around, and walked away.
