Deep in the dark core of the earth, a huge bonfire rose, and countless monks and mortals were taking a rest.
They advanced in the center of the earth for a long time, and with Gu Chen's control of gravity, even mortals were not in serious trouble.
Seeing that it was unlikely that the pursuers would reach this point and everyone was exhausted, Gu Chen ordered them to rest here.
Beside the campfire, Gu Chen and many old friends gathered together, listening to the stories that happened over the past year.
If you get close enough, you can see that his expression is always serious.
"A year ago, a group of powerful monks descended from the sky. They called themselves members of the Shen Sect. As soon as they arrived in Kunlun Continent, they searched everywhere like crazy, not knowing what they were looking for."
"They searched for several days but found nothing, so they set their sights on dangerous places."
"Each dangerous place seems to have been a legacy left by the disciples of the Shen Sect. They recovered it and took it away, and at the same time conducted a selection across the entire continent."
Shen Xudong said this, and Gu Chen tensed up when he heard this.
"The selection was extremely wide-ranging, and the competition between the divine sects was extremely fierce. Most of the members of the Stone Clan and Demon Clan were taken away, and many young demon kings from the Demon Clan were also selected to be brought along."
"As for our human race, there are many divine sects competing for the talents of the younger generation. According to the information I found at the time, they did so for two reasons."
"First, it is because many disciples of the Shen Sect left their inheritance on the Kunlun Continent 30,000 years ago. These inheritances have already penetrated into the cultivator world of our continent and have been inherited by many geniuses of the younger generation."
"The second reason is that the cultivation conditions in Canghuang Ancient Star are extremely harsh. Geniuses who have achieved modest success under such adversity believe that they have great potential. They value their youth, so they decided to take them away for training."
"Many of the people taken away in this process are known to you, such as Sun Jinming from the Nanling Demon Clan, Shi Jian from the Stone Clan, Qi Zeyan from the Nanhua Holy Land, Mu Ziyu from the Shenmu Sect, and Lan The first princess..."
Gu Chen couldn't help but take a deep breath, "Grandpa, how is Lan Chu?"
Shen Xudong sighed, "I didn't see Princess Lan Chu with my own eyes. I heard it from the Mu family later, and the Mu family learned about it from Mu Ziyu. It is said that when the major divine sects came, Lan Chu Princess Chu just happened to wake up from the dragon's nest."
"Princess Lanchu is a very special one. It was not Shenzong who took her away, but a force called the Kunlun God Clan. According to what Mu Ziyu said before leaving with Shenzong, it turns out that Zhongtu Ji's surname is from the royal family and has a great origin."
"The ancestors of the Ji family were not born and raised in Canghuang Ancient Star, but came to the Kunlun Continent with the Kunlun Ruins 30,000 years ago and are descendants of the Kunlun God Clan."
"It is said that people from the Kunlun God Clan checked Princess Lanchu's bloodline and found that her bloodline showed signs of returning to ancient times, so they took her away."
What grandpa said was really surprising. It turns out that the Ji family has such a big background.
No wonder Huangfu Wuji wanted to abduct Lan Chu. It turned out to be because Kunlun Ruins had a deep relationship with the Ji family. Without Lan Chu's bloodline, he would not have been able to obtain the power of the dragon vein.
But he still met the more cunning man in the hat, and got nothing in the end.
Thinking of Lan Chu being taken away by a force he knew nothing about, worry appeared in Gu Chen's eyes.
"You don't have to worry too much. Almost all of Princess Lanchu's relatives on the Kunlun Continent are dead. The Kunlun Protoss can be said to be the only relatives who have blood ties with her."
"In addition, her qualifications are very good. I believe she will not be ignored if she goes to the Kunlun God Clan. It is also said that the green cow also went with her. It was sent by you to protect Princess Lan Chu. With it, Lan Chu Princess Chu is not alone."
Shen Xudong comforted him by saying that he knew that his grandson and Princess Lanchu were in love. If Princess Lanchu hadn't fallen into a coma and Gu Chen didn't have long to live, the two would have been married.
Now that Gu Chen has finally come back, Princess Lanchu has been taken away by her own people again. It's really fate that makes people suffer.
Shen Xudong's comfort had an effect, and Gu Chen nodded.
Lan Chu's parents and brothers, all of her relatives were killed by the Huangfu family. Now that she can find her blood relatives again, it is not a bad thing.
Moreover, Gu Chen was very confident in Lan Chu's qualifications. Back then, his Weiwo changed Lan Chu's fate against the will of heaven and mobilized the power of the Kunlun Dragon Vein to help her. Her physique has been further improved.
Since the Kunlun God Clan values her talent and is a relative, there is no reason to neglect her.
Compared to other people taken away by Shenzong, her starting point can be said to be very high.
"Sect Master, in addition to Princess Lanchu, eight saints from our Tianchen Sect were also taken away."
Huang Pingzhang smiled bitterly.
Lu Yichen, Zhao Rou and other eight girls are very young and very talented, especially Lu Yichen, who has a very cold heart, is the best among them.
The major divine sects failed to find what they were looking for in Canghuang Ancient Star, so they seemed to have no regrets and simply took away all the young monks they thought had some potential.
Lu Yichen's eight daughters were taken away by a sect called the Luoying Divine Sect. This sect seemed to have only female disciples, which was very special among the major divine sects.
The list of people who were taken away was almost all people with potential among the younger generation of Kunlun Continent that Gu Chen knew, and even some Taoists and quasi-Taoists from the original Heavenly Court were taken away.
In addition, many strong men of the older generation and monks who were amazingly talented when they were young may have passed the best age for cultivation, but they did not enter the eyes of the Shen Sect and were not taken away.
The only young genius who hadn't heard of being taken away by Shenzong was actually Ye Qingshuang!
Even her whole person seemed to have disappeared from the world this year, and no one from the Shen family, Tianting or Tianchen Sect heard any news about her.
Gu Chen didn't care about Ye Qingshuang's whereabouts because he had more pressing problems at the moment.
"Grandpa, after talking for so long, you still haven't told me where my mother and my grandfather are? According to what you just said, my mother and grandfather should not have been taken away. Why didn't I see them?"
Gu Chen has been thinking about the whereabouts of his mother and grandfather, but he has too many things to deal with and cannot be distracted to find them.
Originally, he thought they should be with the Tianchen Sect or the Shen family, but when he arrived at the resting place, he discovered that they were not there at all!
Seeing that Gu Chen finally asked about this matter, Huang Pingzhang, Yu Chizhong and others present had a look of shame on their faces, and Shen Xudong also looked at them.
"Sect Master, this is what happened."
Huang Pingzhang quickly explained, "Although the major divine sects took away a group of geniuses, they did not do anything to our Kunlun continent. On the contrary, they were the major alien legions that came after them. They are real bandits!"
