Gu Chen was a little angry. In his opinion, Ye Qingshuang and Yang Zhen were too impulsive.
If he arrived a little late today, Ye Qingshuang's life would definitely be in jeopardy.
Hearing Gu Chen's scolding, Ye Qingshuang just pursed her lips tightly. "It's my fault."
"No, it's not Qingshuang's fault."
Yang Zhen was already filled with guilt when she ran away. How could she be allowed to bear the blame now? She quickly explained.
"It's like this. Mrs. Gu and the others have been away for too long. We are anxious, lest things change. And a few days ago, Huangfu Wuji came to the Underworld Tower again."
Yang Zhen's words made the expressions of Gu Chen and Jiang Bujuo change. "Huangfu Wuji has been here?"
"Yes, although we were far away at the time, we can be sure that it was him. He brought an old man into the tower, and his words and actions were very abnormal, which made us very concerned."
"Since Mrs. Gu has been away for too long, we were worried that her delay in returning would delay the opportunity to rescue the leaders of various forces, so I suggested trying to enter the tower."
Yang Zhen gritted her teeth and took the responsibility for acting impulsively.
"That's not the case. I underestimated the danger here and just wanted to give it a try."
Ye Qingshuang retorted at this time that she didn't want anyone to take the blame for her, especially in front of Gu Chen.
This matter was indeed a result of her lack of consideration, and Yang Zhen was just dragged into the water.
"Another person has been imprisoned in the Tower of Hades?"
Gu Chen didn't really want to blame the two of them, but after hearing what the two said, he was more concerned about the new prisoners of the Hades Tower.
The leaders of the Second Courtyard, Three Families and Four Holy Lands should have been imprisoned in the Hades Tower a long time ago. Who else is worthy of Huangfu Wuji's solemnity to bring him here personally?
"The situation is not good. If Huangfu Wuji came here a few days ago, it means that he is in Qingzhou right now. Since he has arrived in Qingzhou, is he going to the battlefield ahead?"
Jiang Buzhou's expression changed as he thought of this possibility.
Hearing this, Gu Chen's heart suddenly tightened!
Huangfu Wuji's personal combat power is no less than that of a legion. If he really arrives on the battlefield, it means they don't have much time left!
"Qingshuang, Yangzhen, you go out of the tower first. My mother is outside. You can join her."
"Master Jiang, let us break this tower as soon as possible and rescue the leaders of various forces!"
Gu Chen realized that time was running out, and after speaking, regardless of whether the two women agreed or not, he and Jiang Buzhou rushed to the ninth floor.
Ye Qingshuang wanted to follow her, but her injuries had not fully recovered, and her cultivation level was still far behind the heavenly realm. Knowing that it might be a burden to follow her, she could only grit her teeth and follow Care Chen's instructions to leave the God of Hell Tower and go and fight with him.
Shen Yushu meets up.
Gu Chen and Jiang Buzhuo stepped into the ninth floor and moved forward at full speed!
It's just that this Hades Tower has a total of eighteen floors, and the restrictions are more complicated each floor. The number of Hades Demons appearing is also increasing, and their strength is getting stronger and stronger.
Under such circumstances, it may take far longer than originally estimated to completely clear the barrier!
…
"Fellow Daoist Yuchi, isn't the Overlord here?"
In the coalition military camp, Gu Chen had been away for three days. Samsara Sanren came outside his camp and asked Yu Chizhong who was guarding the door.
"I'm sorry, Sanren. The sect leader is at a critical juncture in practicing a secret technique and won't see anyone for the time being."
Yuchizhong explained with apology in his eyes.
After hearing this, Samsara Sanren's eyes flickered and he spoke earnestly. "Since Overlord is at a critical juncture in his cultivation, I naturally dare not disturb him. However, I would also like to ask Fellow Daoist Yuchi to inform Overlord that the Tiancandi Absence Formation has been activated and is running very smoothly. Overlord has agreed before.
Get a transplant sooner rather than later."
Yuchizhong nodded after hearing this, "I know, Sanren, don't worry, I will inform him of the matter as soon as the sect leader is free."
Samsara Sanren received the promise, nodded, glanced at the camp again, then turned and left.
…
Within the main camp of the Tian Ming Legion, the mood of all the soldiers in the army has been somewhat depressed and pessimistic in the past few days.
Since the octopus monster's offensive by the commander-in-chief was broken, the legion suffered heavy losses, and the commander seemed to have lost his position as a result and adopted a defensive posture.
Every day, the five-ethnic coalition forces would launch an attack on them. The attacks became more and more fierce. A large number of soldiers could not help but feel shaken in their hearts. Is it possible to win this war?
That day, the Overlord made hundreds of giant octopus monsters turn against each other with just one punch. This incident was so weird that they still don't understand what happened. It only left a huge shadow in their hearts.
Since the overlord became famous, he has created countless miracles, like an invincible god and demon, causing rumors to spread in the army that the end of the Huangfu family is coming, and that the overlord is the real son.
Such remarks seriously shaken the morale of the military. The imperial generals seized on many typical people who spread rumors and beheaded them on the spot, thus suppressing the unfavorable public opinion a little.
Faced with this situation, as the commander-in-chief, the man in the hat stayed in his tent all day long and rarely showed up, which undoubtedly made the situation worse.
Many Tianming guards, Shen Xudong and many generals asked to see the man in the hat and wanted to discuss military affairs with him, but they were rejected.
"Hmph, the man in the hat is indeed a powerful Taoist, but he is not a qualified leader!"
"He doesn't want to fight once those disgusting monsters he raised are defeated. He is basically delaying us. This matter should be reported to the emperor as soon as possible!"
The inaction of the man in the hat aroused the dissatisfaction of many generals, and they all wanted to send people to Badu to report the matter to the emperor personally.
However, they did not know that one evening, their great and mighty divine emperor had quietly walked into the tent of the man in the bamboo hat!
"Lord Hades, why are you here?"
When Huangfu Wuji stepped into the camp, the man in the bamboo hat was actually making tea for himself. He was very contented. How could he look a bit shocked and depressed?
When he saw Huangfu Wuji, his hand holding the teapot froze a little, and his tone seemed surprised.
"I heard that the Tian Ming Army was defeated, and that you were so shocked that you stayed here and didn't go out. But now that I look at it, why does it seem to be different from the rumors?"
Huangfu Wuji looked at the man in the bamboo hat expressionlessly, and the air in the tent became inexplicably as heavy as lead.
The man in the bamboo hat had a pair of will-o'-the-wisp eyes flashing quickly, he calmly washed the cup and poured a cup of tea for Huangfu Wuji.
"Jie Jie Jie, Your Majesty should know your subordinate's character very well. How could your subordinate be hit by a mere setback?" He smiled strangely and took the initiative to express the suspicion in Huangfu Wuji's heart.
"In that case, why have you done nothing for many days in a row? It seems to me that you are waiting for something." Huangfu Wuji sat down opposite the man in the bamboo hat and said calmly.
"This... subordinate is deliberately showing weakness to the enemy, hoping to paralyze the overlord and then give him a fatal blow!" The man in the hat said with a smile.
Huangfu Wuji gave him a cold look, "No matter what you think, since I'm here, the Tianming Army can't be left to you to mess around with."
"What do you mean, sir?" The man in the bamboo hat's face changed slightly.
"I've had enough, I'm going to go out personally and completely defeat the five tribes coalition forces!"
Huangfu Wuji's eyes were cold.
He no longer wanted to wait for news in Badu and leave the task to the man in the hat or anyone else.
Only he is trustworthy. He will use the Kunlun Sword to kill the overlord in front of millions of troops!
