Tan Lao's words were very different from Gu Chen's impression of his father, which made him frown involuntarily.
Is it something Tan Laodao heard from hearsay, or is there something hidden in this?
Why his father came to the Deep Demon Sea was a mystery. Gu Chen realized that the truth could only be known when he arrived at the ancient city of Lukang.
Next, Gu Chen didn't ask any more questions, and the spacecraft flew steadily over the Deep Demonic Sea.
A boatload of monks were all heading to the ancient city of Lukang. After half a day, Gu Chen quickly identified their identities from the conversations of the people around them.
These people all come from the Haoyue Territory bordering the Deep Demonic Sea, and are monks from some local aristocratic families and sects.
The girl Mu Mengjia and others who had spoken to him before came from the Mu family, an ancient family, and were quite famous in Haoyue Territory.
Haoyue Domain is mainly the territory of the two Immortal Sects, Taihao Immortal Sect and Guanghan Palace, so the local aristocratic families and sects respect them.
The journey was boring, and many monks came to chat and talked about the current situation in the Fairy Continent.
"Since the Immortal Ascension Ceremony shocked the world three months ago, there has been no movement between Wu Lingxian and Demon King Gu Chen."
"It's been three months, and the martial arts hall has ceased operations. I thought they would make some big move."
Several monks discussed it with a regretful tone, as if they were just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
Although they are under the jurisdiction of Taihao Immortal Sect and Guanghan Palace, many small forces have no loyalty at all. In their view, they have been exploited by the Thirteen Immortal Sects for a long time and have paid expensive taxes. They all hope that the structure of the mainland will change.
"The event of the Immortal Ascension Festival has been aroused. Many rumors have been heard in the Haoyue Territory, but I don't know if they are true or false. I heard that Gu Chen was only nineteen years old, but he defeated all nine geniuses by himself. I don't know.
Is there any exaggeration in this?"
Some people couldn't help but say.
"This matter is not exaggerated at all. I went to attend the grand meeting at that time and witnessed the unprecedented battle with my own eyes."
An old man joined the chat, and everyone looked at him with shock on their faces.
To be able to attend the grand event, this old man has some skills.
Everyone gathered around him to ask about the specific situation of the Immortal Ascension Festival. Even the young girl Mu Mengjia came forward with bright eyes to listen to his story.
"That day, the eight geniuses led by Tiandao Sect Zuo Chunqiu and Taishang Sword Sect Gao Mingjian jointly attacked the Demon King Gu Chen. Gu Chen couldn't escape, so he took out a golden holy sword and attacked on his own initiative.
The energy is powerful for three hundred miles!"
"Eight geniuses besieged one person, but the final result was that two people were seriously injured and their lives and deaths were unknown, and the other six people all died. That devil king was really unparalleled in his grace and aura!"
The old man couldn't help but sigh. Although everyone did not see the battle in person, they knew from the old man's words that the rumors were not exaggerated in the slightest.
The top ten geniuses have been famous on the mainland for so long, and their deeds are spread even in this remote area. However, nine of them were deposed by the same person. This shock is really too great.
"I really want to meet that devil king, he's so handsome." The girl Mu Mengjia showed a longing look on her face.
"Mengjia, that's a devil. He kills people without blinking an eye. Do you still want to see him?" The young man who was traveling with him had a sour taste.
"So what about the devil? We are about the same age as him, but he is already well-known in the mainland and is recognized as the number one among the young generation."
Mu Mengjia replied, chasing the old man and continuing to ask about Gu Chen's various deeds, including his appearance, body shape, etc.
Gu Chen was listening in the corner, his heart still, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
The spaceship traveled on the desolate land for two days. During this period, it encountered several waves of vicious monks who tried to rob everyone on the spacecraft.
But after Mr. Tan came forward, these people gave up their plans one after another.
Mr. Tan seems to have a good reputation in this deep demon sea, and even the most vicious demon cultivators are unwilling to offend him.
This made Gu Chen feel that the travel expenses were really worth it and saved a lot of trouble.
Two days later, everyone finally arrived at the ancient city of Lukang. Looking from a distance, most of the buildings in the city were old and dilapidated. Many places had long been weathered and only the earthen walls remained.
It is more of a ruin than a city.
But in such a city, Gu Chen and others saw the largest flow of people they encountered after entering the Deep Demon Sea, and the city was filled with the aura of a large number of monks.
As soon as the spaceship arrived at the gate of Lukang Ancient City, a man as strong as a bear came to see Mr. Tan.
"Old Tan, something big has happened. You must come with me as soon as possible." The strong man looked stern and whispered a few words in Old Tan's ear.
Mr. Tan's eyes sharpened when he heard this, and he nodded. "Wait a moment."
Mr. Tan quickly told everyone on the boat that Lukang Ancient City had arrived, but he had some things to deal with and could not take them with him on the return trip.
This immediately aroused dissatisfaction among some people. They had promised to send them safely to and from the Deep Demonic Sea, but why did they change their minds now? Didn't it mean that this old man always kept his promise?
Some people seemed indifferent because the old man promised to return half of the money.
Many people have gained experience along the way and believe that returning safely is not that difficult. Why not do it if you can save money?
Mr. Tan ignored those who protested and returned the money to everyone one by one.
He also refunded half of the money to Gu Chen, which surprised Gu Chen because he only said that he would take him to Lugang Ancient City, but did not say that he would take him away again.
"Mr. Tan seems a little anxious. What happened?" Gu Chen asked curiously.
"fine."
Mr. Tan shook his head, obviously not wanting to talk about it, but he had a very good impression of Gu Chen along the way. After thinking about it, he said to him.
"Since you are here to look for someone, you must need the help of local people. There is a tavern in Lukang Ancient City. The shopkeeper, Mo Datou, is my friend for many years. If you have any questions, you can go to him. As long as you give me enough money, I believe he will
It will be helpful to you."
"Thank you, Mr. Tan, for reminding me. I'll remember it." Gu Chen said gratefully. He really needed manpower.
After Mr. Tan finished speaking, he hurried away with the strong man, leaving Gu Chen and a large group of people outside the ancient city of Lukang.
Gu Chen was about to enter the city, when Mu Mengjia and her companions came over.
"Hey, Chen Gu, do you want to come with us when you go back?" Mu Mengjia asked.
Because Mr. Tan was gone when they returned, a group of people felt it would be safer to find more people to go with, so they thought of Gu Chen.
Although the other party is a young man with little experience in making a living outside, he is rich.
If you can bring him along, you can spend less money if you need to find a ferryman on the return trip.
Gu Chen glanced at a group of boys and girls, and then at the guards they brought with them. "That's all you have?"
Mu Mengjia and others are generally at the Heavenly Realm, and are still in the early stage of Heavenly Humanity, and the guards they bring are only at the Dharma Realm. In his opinion, it is a bit reluctant to gain a foothold in the Deep Demonic Sea.
