Chapter 389

Donghuang, outside the Ghost Market.

After many days of traveling, Gu Chen, the ghost king and the eight girls finally arrived at their destination.

The deserted ancient city came into view, even though it was noon, when approaching this place, it still felt gloomy.

"The Ghost Emperor's temperament is difficult to figure out. Too many people entering the Ghost Market may make him unhappy. Moreover, the Ghost Emperor may not kill Gu Daozi, but he may not give preferential treatment to other people, so it is safest for you to stay outside."

The ghost king looked at Lu Yichen, Zhao Rou and the others.

The eight girls looked at each other, not at ease when Gu Chen went in alone.

"With the ghost king accompanying me, everyone can rest assured. You stay vigilant around the ghost market until we come out."

Gu Chen opened his mouth and said, his expression was calm, Ba Nu could only nod upon seeing this.

So Gu Chen and the ghost king walked side by side into the ghost market, accompanied by the white ape.

The city walls are old and mottled, and many buildings seem to be soaked in black blood. Gu Chen stepped into the ghost market again, and still felt the indescribable eerieness here.

He didn't relax in his heart. Although Jiang Yu speculated that the ghost emperor treated him differently, this place is a place of great danger after all, and accidents may happen if there is a slight mistake.

"It's been a long time since I've been here."

The ghost king looked at the dead city around him and said with emotion.

"According to what the ancestors left behind, the ghost market is the birthplace of our ghost clan, but since the ghost emperor proclaimed himself here, it is not easy for my ghost clan to come here."

"The last time I came here was when I encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation and urgently needed the help of the Nine Yin Stones. That time I met the Ghost Emperor and was warned by him not to set foot here again. Since then, I have never returned."

From the ghost king's mouth, Gu Chen learned about the ghost emperor from the side. The ghost clan is indeed a weak person. It stands to reason that the ghost clan on the mainland is extremely rare now. The ghost emperor should treat the ghost king differently, but he didn't think he would not allow him. Feel free to step in here.

This time, if it wasn't for fighting against Huangfu Wuji, the great enemy, and Gu Chen was by his side, the ghost king would not dare to enter rashly, for fear of being killed by the ghost emperor whom his relatives do not recognize.

The ghost emperor described by the ghost king has a weird personality and is extremely difficult to get along with. Gu Chen realized that it would not be easy to persuade him to come out of the mountain this time.

The two walked into the city slowly. In those abandoned buildings, shadows could be seen flashing past from time to time, and lonely ghosts were watching them.

"It's right here. I don't know where the ghost emperor is. If he is willing to see us, he will come out."

The Ghost King stopped in his tracks.

Gu Chen nodded, looked at the empty street, and said loudly. "Junior Gu Chen, please see Senior Ghost Emperor."

Seek Senior Ghost Emperor, Seek Senior Ghost Emperor...

His voice spread far away, and echoed in this desolate ancient city.

The ghosts in the surrounding buildings moved slightly, as if disturbed by Gu Chen.

No one responded for a long time, Gu Chen repeated the call several times.

The only answer to him was the dead silence of the city.

"This is not good."

The ghost king looked serious when he saw this, they bet that the ghost emperor would treat Gu Chen differently, so they dared to come here.

But right now, the ghost emperor didn't respond. It wasn't because he wasn't there or didn't notice it. If he didn't answer, it meant he didn't want to pay attention!

Gu Chen did not give up, and continued to repeat his own words one after another.

It's a pity that the huge ghost market is full of his echoes, and there is nothing else.

The ghost king opened his mouth, wanting to say that we are going to fail, but he couldn't come out.

Contacting the ghost emperor is the most important step in the first step of the plan. If they return home without even seeing each other, it will be a major blow to the entire plan.

"It's daytime now, maybe Senior Ghost Emperor doesn't want to show up."

Gu Chen said, then sat down and decided to wait until dark before asking for a meeting.

This time he must meet the Ghost Emperor no matter what, it has a lot to do with the overall situation!

Soon it was dark, and the moon rose high into the sky, looking over in the ghost market, with a few touches of miserable green.

And the ghosts and monsters in the city, wandering corpses and lonely souls, also started to move.

"Junior Gu Chen, please see Senior Ghost Emperor!"

Gu Chen spoke loudly again, and his voice spread throughout the city.

His thunderous sound immediately alarmed a large number of lonely souls and wild ghosts in the city.

"Woo--"

There were gusts of dark wind and whimpering sounds. In the darkness, unknown entities such as blue-armored skeletons and long-winged corpses gathered in the direction of Gu Chen. There was even the neighing of war horses in the distance, and a large number of Yin soldiers passed through the street. It seems to come to punish the intruder who broke the tranquility.

"roll!"

When the ghost king saw many dark things, his face showed a murderous look, and the sharp horns on his head faintly glowed blood-red.

He was originally the king of the ghost clan, and he had no fear of these dark existences. When he got angry, a large number of ghosts showed fear in their eyes, and retreated into the darkness one after another.

The ghost clan is good at using dead souls and refining corpses.

The King of Ghosts suppressed those lonely and wild ghosts who were trying to approach, while Gu Chen repeatedly begged to see the Emperor of Ghosts over and over again.

His voice became louder and louder, awakening countless dead souls in the ghost market, and the Yin Qi rushed to the sky and turned into torrential dark clouds.

It's just that the ghost emperor didn't respond!

"Gu Daozi, it seems that the Ghost Emperor doesn't want to see us."

The ghost king sighed, although he was unwilling, he still said. "Let's get out of here. Since the Ghost Emperor doesn't want to show his face, if we continue to force him, he will be displeased and it will be difficult for him to get out."

The ghost emperor is not someone who can be seen just by visiting the thatched cottage. Once he feels disgusted with the pestering person, even if he treats him differently one moment, it is not uncommon for him to kill him the next moment.

It would be too unfair to die here because of this.

Gu Chen shook his head, his eyes were firm.

"No matter what, you have to see the ghost emperor. If you leave without seeing him, do the three great alien races still have the confidence to lobby?"

His words made the ghost king smile wryly, and replied. "If the Ghost Emperor refuses to see him, we won't be able to see him no matter what."

"Then we'll go find him, and when we get to him, he has to respond to us."

Gu Chen said calmly.

"It's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers."

The Ghost King clicked his tongue.

"It's you who said that the ghost emperor treats me differently. If that's the case, you have to try everything."

Gu Chen smiled casually, a pair of pupils quickly turned purple in the darkness, and at the same time his consciousness spread out overwhelmingly.

He did what he said, and really wanted to find the Ghost Emperor.

"Brother Ghost King, since you have been to the Ghost Market, do you know what is the secret place here?"

After a while, Gu Chen didn't find anything. The ghost market looked like an empty city, and it was impossible to see where the ghost emperor was hiding.

"According to the last words of our ancestors, Ghost Market is the birthplace of our family, but the number of times I have been here is really very few, so I don't know much about it."

"The ghost emperor has lived the longest among my ghost clan and has been operating here for a long time. If he really wants to hide, no one will find him."

Gu Chen frowned tightly, if this is the case, he is really at a loss what to do.

The ghost emperor refused to see him, and they couldn't find him, so they fell into a stalemate.

"Hee hee hee……"

At the corner of the street, there was suddenly a weird girl's laughter.

Gu Chen and Ghost King couldn't help showing vigilance in their eyes, and Bai Yuan's eyes widened even more, as if recalling something.

A red shadow flashed past the corner of the street, and appeared in front of Gu Chen and the two in the blink of an eye, startling them.
