"What do you mean by such a small number of people? You are the only one, so you have the nerve to say that? Just ask, will you go back with us?" Mu Mengjia said angrily.
Gu Chen shook his head, "Sorry, I have something to do and I don't know when I will leave. You can find someone else."
He refused simply, and the young man next to Mu Mengjia suddenly said dissatisfied. "Mengjia, ignore him. We have good intentions but he doesn't appreciate it."
Mu Mengjia was also a little dissatisfied with Gu Chen's attitude, with a look of disgust on her cute face. "You're such a stupid young man, how can you survive alone in a place like the Deep Demon Sea? How can your parents trust you?
People going out?"
Gu Chen was speechless when he heard this, this girl was actually teaching him a lesson.
These guys grew up in the family and have never ventured out.
"I have to leave beforehand. Let me give you a piece of advice."
Gu Chen shook his head, thinking that we were destined to be together along the way, and reminded him a few words. "Remember, keep a low profile in this ancient city of Lukang. Don't let people know that you are rich. It's best to keep your splendid clothes and robes away."
It’s been replaced.”
After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving behind the stunned boys and girls.
"Ah, he actually has the nerve to talk about us. How can we be as high-profile as him?"
"There are really all kinds of people. Who spends a lot of money just to hear rumors about sinkholes and holes?"
The companions were indignant, and Mu Mengjia was not convinced either.
"Of course I can keep a high profile, because I am much stronger than you. Take care, everyone..."
Gu Chen walked into the city gate without looking back, only the sound could be heard in the distance.
"You arrogant guy!" Mu Mengjia was so angry that her teeth itched.
When Gu Chen entered the ancient city of Lukang, his spiritual consciousness spread out overwhelmingly.
Just a moment later, he seemed to have found his target, with a trace of sadness in his eyes and a step on his feet.
Whoosh.
No one noticed that Gu Chen disappeared in the south of the city with one step and appeared in a burned-out street in the west of the city.
There are broken walls everywhere, and there are scorch marks on the ground and surviving buildings.
This is the place where my father died in a sea of fire after fighting with others. It is said that the fire spread for several days and nights before it was finally extinguished. One-third of the ancient city of Lukang was affected by the sea of fire.
Gu Chen easily found the place where the incident occurred. Thinking that his father died here without any bones left, his heart became extremely heavy.
The incident happened more than two years ago, and now there are not many traces left here. It is even more difficult for Gu Chen to find clues.
He stood in the ruins, standing silently, his figure lonely and desolate.
White Ape slipped out of the animal bag, felt the sadness in Gu Chen's heart, and lay quietly on his shoulder to accompany him.
"It's him, right? Mr. Zuo is so clever. I never thought he would actually come here!"
In a tower far away from the ruins, several monks looked at Gu Chen in the distance, with excitement on their faces.
They were ordered to wait and wait here for three full months. They had almost given up hope, but they didn't expect that the target finally appeared!
"A few of you will send a message to Mr. Zuo. The rest of you and I will be responsible for tracking the demon king. As long as this thing is done properly, we will definitely get a huge reward!"
The leader of the group said happily and quickly split up.
Coincidentally, in another direction, two other people also noticed Gu Chen entering the ruins!
"What the patriarch said is indeed true. After Gu Chen found out what happened to his father, he would definitely go to the place where he died to express his condolences. We have waited for so long and finally we are waiting for him."
The two of them sighed, looking at Gu Chen with not much excitement in their eyes, but with extremely complicated expressions.
That was the pride of his Gu clan. He defeated nine geniuses in a row, which gave his Gu clan a great deal of face.
It's a pity that he went astray. The new clan leader insisted on his death, and they could only follow the order.
"Inform the clan!" The older man struggled for a moment and gritted his teeth.
Gu Chen stood in the ruins for a long time, and his mind was filled with images of a happy family of three in the past.
After he calmed down his sadness, he walked through the ruins several times, hoping to find useful clues.
Unfortunately, even if there were any clues here, they disappeared due to various reasons in the past two years, and he found nothing.
After thinking about it, Gu Chen walked towards the city and decided to look for Mo Datou that Mr. Tan had mentioned.
He needs someone to find out what happened that year, and it would be best to find survivors who have met his father.
When Gu Chen left the ruins, the two groups of people from different directions looked shocked and started to move, hanging far behind Gu Chen.
There are many monks in the ancient city, and with the mixed atmosphere, they are confident that they will not be discovered by Gu Chen.
However, as soon as Gu Chen walked two miles away, his eyes narrowed, and murderous intent flashed deep in his eyes.
After entering the ancient city of Lukang, his consciousness had been scattered. He felt normal in the ruins before, but now when he moved, he suddenly realized that someone was secretly spying on him.
He had been spying on his aura before, but because they were motionless and had the same aura as other monks in the city, he was not alert.
But it was too obvious at this time. These people would follow me whenever I moved, and they were clearly following me.
"There are two groups of people. They seem to have known that I would go there and have been waiting for a long time."
Gu Chen murmured in his heart, analyzing the origin of these two groups of people.
It is possible to know where he will go. In theory, it should only be the Gu clan.
The Gu clan member who died in the ancient city of Lukang was his father, and Gu Tianming had a father-son relationship with him. Only the Gu clan people should know about this, and they could infer that it was not unusual for him to come here.
But who are the other groups of people? How did they know they would come?
An idea flashed in Gu Chen's mind, and he remembered the letter from the Immortal Ascension Ceremony. The person who wrote that letter could also guess that he would come here.
"I concluded that the letter should have been left by Zuo Chunqiu, but he was injured to that extent three months ago and almost lost his life. How dare he become my enemy?"
Gu Chen was confused. His arrow almost destroyed Zuo Chunqiu three months ago. He knew very well how terrifying the black arrow in his right hand was. Even if Zuo Chunqiu survived, he would be basically useless.
Under such circumstances, he still wants to take revenge on himself. Could it be that he is tired of living?
Gu Chen didn't care about Zuo Chunqiu at first, but when this happened, he was immediately curious about the origins of that group of people.
Gu Chen sensed with his heart and quickly determined that the only two people on the side were the children of the Gu clan.
"Little guy, those two people are left to you. Don't kill them. I have something to interrogate them."
Gu Chen ordered Bai Yuan.
The white ape blinked his eyes and nodded happily.
"Okay, let's split up."
After Gu Chen finished speaking, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and a breath of energy from his body was released instantly!
Whoosh!
He and the white ape disappeared at the same place!
"Where are the people? Where have they gone?"
The two groups of people following him were frightened at the same time, and used their spiritual senses to look around.
"Are you looking for me?"
Gu Chen's voice came coldly, and at some point, he was already standing behind a group of people!
