"In the past six months, the Ba clan members have frequently visited the Xutian Palace. Not long before Immortal Emperor Taixu left, we saw with our own eyes that he had a dispute with the Ba clan members."
Under Gu Chen's questioning, Xu Le explained why they thought the matter was related to the Overlord clan.
"Have the Ba Clan come to this Xutian Palace more than once?" Gu Chen thought. He knew very little about the Ba Clan. He only heard Yuan Buhuo say that the Ba Clan appeared at the end of the ancient times and were regarded as allies by the immortal world.
Since they are allies, why did Taixu Immortal Emperor have a dispute with the Overlords?
Does his disappearance, and even the disappearance of the Immortal Emperors, really have something to do with the Overlord Clan?
Gu Chen was daydreaming over and over again, trying to dig out more inside stories from Xu Le and other heavenly soldiers.
"Did anything happen after Immortal Emperor Taixu left in a hurry? Do you have any impressions of the Xutian Cauldron in the Xutian Palace? What kind of elixir is refined in the cauldron?"
Gu Chen asked questions one by one. After hearing this, the Heavenly Soldiers headed by Xu Le thought hard and then covered their heads one by one.
"Shortly after Immortal Emperor Taixu left, the mountains and rivers suddenly collapsed, and there was a catastrophe..."
"ah!"
Xu Le seemed to have recalled some horrible memories that he didn't want to recall, his eyes gradually turned red, and he suddenly roared.
This roar stimulated all the souls of the heavenly soldiers, and their souls became uncertain, as if the memories of an eternity ago were enough to drive them crazy just thinking about it.
Upon seeing this, Gu Chen gave up questioning. It was not until he left that the group of heavenly soldiers gradually calmed down. After a while, their faces were full of confusion again, and they murmured to themselves.
"When will His Majesty the Immortal Emperor come back? Is General Mantian safe? How long will I have to guard here..."
Gu Chen entered the garden. Just as he was making random guesses at the words of the heavenly soldiers, he suddenly raised his head and saw a white shadow jumping in front of him, interrupting his thoughts.
"Zhizhi!" The white ape's big eyes showed excitement, and he was much better than gesticulating.
"It finally made some noise?" Gu Chen understood and a sneer appeared on his lips.
Although Longma initially explained the ins and outs of his understanding of Xutian Temple, Gu Chen always felt that it still had secrets that he had not revealed.
He deliberately let it go free and let the white ape supervise it, hoping to find a way out of here from it.
But now fifty days have passed, and White Ape finally brought good news.
Since this morning, Ryoma has been digging furtively in the Immortal Emperor's garden, as if there are some ulterior secrets.
"Come on, let's go take a look!"
Bai Yuan led the way, and Gu Chen reached where Long Ma was as quickly as possible.
By then, Ryoma had already dug three feet into the garden. He was originally a white horse, but his body was covered in mud.
"Found it, found it!"
It jumped out of the pit, holding a piece of gray soil in its mouth. Its face was full of excitement, but its eyes caught sight of Gu Chen standing in front, and it suddenly kicked back!
"What did you find?" Gu Chen smiled at him and scanned the soil in its mouth with his consciousness, but found nothing unusual.
"Smelly monkey, you're really watching closely!" Ryoma glared at the white ape angrily.
"But have you found a way to leave here?" Gu Chen asked tentatively.
Ryoma's expression turned gloomy and uncertain.
It was not a fool. It had known the reason why Gu Chen gave him freedom, and also knew that he had been secretly monitoring him.
In fact, the two of them are now a grasshopper on the same rope. It is not afraid of being discovered by him, but has been thinking about how to protect its own interests.
Gu Chen is stronger than him and has helpers. If he loses his use value and he turns against him, what should he do?
"What benefits can I gain by taking you out of here?" Ryoma thought about it for a moment and gritted his teeth.
"It seems that you really hid it before!"
Gu Chen's eyes lit up and he answered without thinking. "If you can help us get out of here, the previous debt will be wiped off, and you and I will be cleared."
"How can anything be so cheap?"
Longma jumped up when he heard this, "I have spent countless efforts on the inheritance of Xutian Palace. If I can help you get out, you must give me at least half of the elixirs in Xutian Cauldron, right?"
"The Void Heaven Cauldron can't be opened at all, what's the point of this?" Gu Chen sneered.
Ryoma's expression immediately became strange.
Gu Chen saw the abnormality in its expression, and his heart moved. "Could you have a way to open the Xutian Cauldron?"
Ryoma remained silent.
Gu Chen understood immediately.
This dragon horse really hides a lot of secrets!
Not only does it know how to leave here, it even knows how to open the Xutian Cauldron. It was just pretending to be confused before!
"Don't get me wrong, I only recently thought of how to open the Xutian Cauldron. If you want to leave here, being able to open the Xutian Cauldron is the key! My idea may not be successful, and I can't do it alone.
arrive!"
As if he was afraid that Gu Chen would be suspicious, Long Ma hurriedly explained.
Gu Chen fell into deep thought. They were now in a desperate situation. If Longma could really take them away and open the Xutian Cauldron at the same time, then giving it half of the elixir would not be too much.
"I have to discuss this with others."
Gu Chen did not give a clear answer. The Xutian Cauldron was snatched by Bai Yuan. According to the original agreement, the owner of Penglai Island also had a share. He could not make the decision alone.
"Okay." The dragon horse was relieved when he heard this. If Gu Chen readily agreed, it would have to worry about whether he would cheat.
Returning to Xutian Palace, Gu Chen found Jiang Baiming and the owner of Penglai Island to discuss the matter.
Knowing that there was a way to leave here, the two agreed without any hesitation.
"Zhizhi!" The only one who disagreed was the white ape. It stretched out three fingers, which meant that at most one-third of the meal should be given to the dragon and horse.
"Only I can take you away. Without me, you can't even open the Xutian Cauldron. Little monkey, you have to think clearly!"
Ryoma tried to bargain.
Bai Yuan snorted and turned his head, as if there was no room for negotiation.
Ryoma's teeth were itching with hatred, and after weighing the balance, he sighed. "Okay, one-third is one-third!"
"Zhizhi!" Bai Yuan said again, meaning that the Xutian Cauldron only belongs to it afterwards.
It really has a good eye. The pills in the Xutian Cauldron are indeed precious, but the Xutian Cauldron can withstand the attack of the Sui Zuizhi Rod. Even if it is not an imperial weapon, it is probably not far behind.
"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
Ryoma and Bai Yuan failed to get any advantage after bargaining, so they agreed in frustration.
"I've made so many steps backwards, I hope you won't go back on your word when things are done." It finally said to Gu Chen.
In fact, it doesn't matter how much it is divided, it is most afraid that Gu Chen will kill it after using it.
"There is no life-or-death enmity between you and me. If you can help us leave, even if we are not friends, we will not be enemies." Gu Chen solemnly promised.
Ryoma felt relieved after hearing this and spat out the soil he had dug in the garden on the ground. "If we want to get out of here, it all depends on it!"
