Chapter nine hundred and forty-four goodbye sea holly
"Where is Li Tianjiang? How is he?" Gu Chen turned to ask Li Shunyu.
"There is no news about General Li Tian. After all, I am undercover for investigation, and the levels I can access are limited."
Jiang Baiming's expression suddenly became solemn, "But I heard that Yuan Buhuo is still there, and he is the one who took the lead in supporting Tang Ning. However, no one seems to know that he is a spy from the Pure Spirit Demon Realm."
When Jiang Baiming said this, Gu Chen fell completely silent and understood the meaning of his words.
"It seems that General Tang Tian has taken refuge in the Pure Spirit Demon Realm." Although the Penglai Island Master is not a member of the Heavenly Court, he said it to the point at this moment.
The situation was too obvious. Given the original situation, Tangning actually survived and gained huge power. This could only be because she had taken refuge in the Pure Spirit Demon Realm.
Yuan Buhuo returned to Heaven and his identity was not revealed. This is the best evidence.
Gu Chen did not refute. He knew that although Tang Ning was strong, it was impossible to cleanse the interior of Heaven. But with the accomplices of the Pure Spirit Demon Realm, everything would be different!
"Tangning may have been coerced, or she may have been controlled by the Pure Spirit Demon Realm in some way. No matter what, there is no way she can return to Heaven at the moment."
Gu Chen took a deep breath and remembered the way the man in the hat used to control people when he was in Canghuang Ancient Star. He didn't think that Tang Ning was actively betraying her.
"I need more information. I must find out what happened at the Tianyin Pavilion meeting."
Gu Chen's eyes flickered. If the Pure Spirit Demon Realm really interfered with the Tianyin Pavilion meeting, this matter must not be that simple.
The information Jiang Baiming infiltrated into the sub-rudder and obtained could only come from the lower levels. The information was extremely limited and might even be biased.
And a slight deviation may cause him to make wrong judgments.
He didn't want to make any more mistakes in dealing with the people in the hat, he needed first-hand information from the inside!
"I heard that only the heavenly generals and heavenly officials attended this meeting. We obviously can't contact Tangning and Li Shunyu at the moment. Where can we collect more information?" Jiang Baiming shook his head.
"There is another person who may be able to help us."
After Gu Chen thought deeply, he narrowed his eyes.
…
On the desolate Death Star, Gu Chen stood with his hands behind his hands, quietly waiting for his guest.
When the appointed time arrived, a breeze blew a hundred feet away in front of him, and a blind middle-aged man suddenly appeared!
Gu Chen's eyes froze unnoticeably, but he smiled on the surface. "Friend Hai Dao, I haven't seen you for a long time."
The person in front of him was Tianjiang Hai Dongqing. Gu Chen wanted to find out what happened at the Tianyin Pavilion meeting, so he approached him.
There were multiple considerations in why I chose to contact him.
Apart from Tang Ning and Li Shunyu, Hai Dongqing is the general that Gu Chen knows better.
This time, many generals from the peace faction who were in charge of the Tianyin Pavilion meeting disappeared inexplicably, and the generals from the war faction have always been on good terms with Tang Ning, so Hai Dongqing, who remained neutral in the last meeting, is a more suitable candidate.
The most important thing is that Gu Chen has Hai Dongqing's demon sword in his hand. With the attention he has shown to the demon sword before, he is not afraid that he will not cooperate with him.
Gu Chen had already inquired about it. Although Hai Dongqing was powerful in the heaven, he always lived alone and did not belong to any faction.
Although he had stood up for You Xian before, it was only to repay the kindness he had received from General Mirage. From this point of view, what he said was sentimental and righteous.
Based on these considerations, Gu Chen finally took the risk and contacted him.
The time and place for today's meeting were extremely strict, and Hai Dongqing did not disappoint him and came as promised.
"It's only been a few months since we last met, so it's not that long."
Facing Gu Chen's greetings, Hai Dongqing said calmly.
Then, his eyes with only the whites rolled, and he said seriously: "Are those people hiding in the dark Gu Xiaoyou's companions? If not, please allow me to solve it first. The meeting between you and me must not be leaked!"
Gu Chen's expression became solemn for a while. Hai Dongqing had had a conflict with him after all. To be on the safe side, he asked Bai Yuan, Jiang Baiming and Long Ma to hide in the dark and respond randomly.
I originally thought that it was hidden enough that it wouldn't be discovered, but I didn't expect that he would reveal it as soon as he came.
"How did you figure out our hidden tactics?"
Seeing that he had been exposed, Jiang Baiming took the lead and walked out of the darkness, followed by White Ape and Ryoma, but the owner of Penglai Island was nowhere to be seen.
Jiang Baiming was a little unwilling. With his skills in formations, he was confident that most of the immortals would not be able to see through his hiding place, but he did not expect that Hai Dongqing would discover it as soon as he arrived.
"I am blind in eyes but not in heart." Hai Dongqing answered in an evasive manner, which made him even more enigmatic.
Everyone present felt uncomfortable dealing with him.
Gu Chen had fought against Hai Dongqing and knew that he was extremely powerful, at least reaching the late stage of Immortal Lord, much stronger than Zhao Jianjia.
Jiang Baiming and others instinctively felt that this person was extremely powerful and had an aura that made them feel uncomfortable.
This time without Tang Ning and Li Shunyu, if the two sides had a disagreement and got into a fight, Gu Chen knew that even with the help of his companions, their chances of winning were not high.
But, in order to figure out the situation, the risk is worth taking!
"Let me get straight to the point, fellow Daoist Hai, do you still remember our agreement?" Gu Chen skipped the boring probing and asked directly.
The two made an agreement at the beginning that as long as Hai Dongqing could find his father, he would return the Yanling Demon Sword.
Now that Gu Chen already knows the whereabouts of his father, and the heaven has been infiltrated by the Pure Spirit Demon Realm, the agreement naturally needs to be changed.
"Of course I remember. The fact is that I have been waiting for Gu Xiaoyou to contact me. What Tang Ning said is indeed true." Hai Dongqing grinned.
"What did Tangning say?" Gu Chen's eyes were filled with surprise.
Speaking of this, Hai Dongqing's expression became much more solemn. "Tang Ning has a reputation for counting all the lives of the people. I always thought it was exaggerated, but now I see that he is indeed worthy of this reputation. I think he also hopes to tell me through me.
Gu Xiaoyou, what happened at the Tianyin Pavilion meeting, and what is about to happen."
Gu Chen and others couldn't help but listen attentively.
"At the Tianyin Pavilion meeting not long ago, Taoist Master Jingling showed up with people from the Jingling Demon Realm to support Tang Ning. At the same time, several heavenly generals from the Lord He faction disappeared mysteriously, and they obtained it through semi-coercive means.
took control of the meeting.”
"It can be said that the Ancient Heavenly Court has been controlled by the Jingling Demon Realm, and Tangning has become the spokesperson of Taoist Jingling!"
Hai Dongqing spoke eloquently, and the meeting situation he described was far more detailed and more thrilling than what Jiang Baiming had heard about.
Gu Chen's heart sank to the bottom. Gu Tianting, once the number one force in the immortal world, fell into the hands of the man in the hat. It can be said that he is already a man standing at the pinnacle of this immortal world.
"Where is General Li Tian? He has also taken refuge in the Pure Spirit Demon Realm? Is there no general who has come forward to oppose him?" Gu Chen asked.
"Li Tianjiang did not attend the meeting, and his life and death are unknown. There were naturally opponents at the meeting, but Xuannv, who led the opposition, was imprisoned on the spot. The rest of the people finally chose to give in under Yuan Buhuo's coercion and inducement."
"I originally wanted to oppose it together with Xuannv. After all, Gu Tianting should not obey the orders of an outsider, Taoist Master Jingling. However, before I could speak, I received a message from Tang Ning through the air."
