The ghost king was right, after the ghost emperor regained consciousness, he talked so much with them, and even told Huang Quan a secret.
He seemed to refuse outright, but instead exposed his intentions.
The more straightforwardly he refused at the beginning, the more anxious he would be, and the more negotiating space the ghost emperor could win!
This is the art of negotiation!
Gu Chen didn't have much experience in negotiating with others, he took too seriously the plan of uniting the four clans this time, and he was so anxious that he almost fell into the way of the ghost emperor.
"The matter of uniting the various ethnic groups is a matter of great importance. If I ask for help everywhere, even if I succeed, the price I will have to pay is unimaginable. It should be interests that can closely unite the various ethnic groups. This Ghost Emperor is just The first negotiating partner must not be led by the nose!"
Gu Chen quickly recovered his usual calmness and wisdom.
Even if the ghost emperor has lived for thirty thousand years, no matter how strong his cultivation is, he still has something in mind, as long as he finds out his real purpose, there will be room for negotiation.
"What are you guys discussing furtively? If you have nothing else to do, just leave Huangquan, this is not the place for you to stay."
Ghost Emperor noticed that the two were communicating through sound transmission, but he didn't know what to say, and said dissatisfied.
Gu Chen's eyes flickered, and he saluted slightly. "Since the senior clearly refused, we will not bother you anymore."
After he finished speaking, he simply turned and left.
The Ghost Emperor couldn't help being stunned for a moment, Rao even the Ghost King looked surprised, and hurriedly followed.
"Go slowly, don't send!"
The ghost emperor responded indifferently, and then flew into the vermilion coffin in the underworld, and he lay down in it, looking like he was about to fall asleep.
Gu Chen didn't look back, and went straight back the way he came.
"Are we really going? Stop persuading me?"
The ghost king asked Gu Chen in surprise.
"You were right just now. The Ghost Emperor definitely has plans, but he didn't say it clearly. In this case, if we are led by the nose by him, the situation will be very disadvantageous."
Gu Chen said calmly.
"That's what you said, but what if the ghost emperor really let us go after seeing our performance?"
"Brother Ghost King, what do you think you can do with me in the realm of Ghost Emperor? For this purpose, you even talk around in circles." The corners of Gu Chen's mouth twitched slightly.
"I can't think of it." The ghost king shook his head.
"The Ghost Emperor has proclaimed himself the Ghost Market for so many years, so it can be seen that there is no need for external things. And he said before that he is facing the five declines of heaven and man, and even sometimes loses his mind because of it. Obviously, this is the only thing he can care about now."
"But the five declines of heaven and man are restricted by heaven and earth, so you can't help him?" Ghost King frowned.
The greatest need of the Ghost Emperor right now is indeed likely to be related to the five declines of celestial beings, but how can a monk at the immortal level help a peak celestial being?
"I don't know the reason, but I will know if I try. If it is really for this matter, he will definitely stop us."
The two quickly left the Underworld and returned to the Futu Pagoda in the Ghost Market.
"He didn't call us and didn't seem to care."
Seeing that the ghost emperor had already walked out of Huangquan, but the ghost emperor couldn't help but understand.
"Don't worry, I haven't left the ghost market yet."
When Gu Chen said this, he felt a little uncertain.
Ghost Emperor's needs were guessed by him, and if he guessed wrong, it would be even more difficult to convince the other party if he went back with the cheek.
Gu Chen walked outside the ghost market, with a blank expression on his face, deliberately slowing down.
Thousands of feet, five hundred feet, one hundred feet.
Getting closer and closer to the ghost market, Gu Chen could see Lu Yichen and others waiting outside, but the ghost emperor still didn't respond, as if he really didn't want to stay!
"Did you guess wrong?"
Gu Chen secretly regretted it.
The Ghost King sighed, "Looks like things went wrong."
Just when the two were less than three meters away from the city, the sound of chains rattling came from behind!
Gu Chen's spirit lifted, and he suddenly turned around.
He saw the ghost emperor who had been lying in the coffin before walking towards him with a somewhat unhappy expression.
It worked!
Gu Chen and Ghost King looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.
Since the ghost emperor has chased him out, it means that this matter has turned around!
"Boy, I won't go around in circles with you anymore."
The Ghost Emperor looked at Gu Chen coldly. Although he didn't look like that horrible mummy right now, this look still made people feel chills all over.
He wanted to sit down and raise the price but failed, and the ghost emperor was obviously in a bad mood right now.
"Senior, speak directly." Gu Chen said seriously.
The ghost emperor opened his hands and shook the iron chains that bound him. "Can you see it?"
"Senior, you mean this iron chain?" Gu Chen thought about it.
"No, it's something else." Ghost Emperor shook his head, "If you can see this thing, I'll come out and help you right away."
Gu Chen's expression was shocked, and the ghost emperor directly promised that this opportunity is once in a thousand years!
Gu Chen couldn't help activating Ziji Tong, and his spiritual consciousness spread out to investigate in detail.
It's just that other than the chains that entangle him, he can't see any abnormalities on Ghost Emperor's body.
The white ape also thought about it, but quickly scratched his head, but couldn't find it.
"If you can't see it, it means that you are useless to me now."
Seeing that Gu Chen hadn't noticed it for a long time, the ghost emperor showed disappointment in his eyes.
"What can there be? Can't see anything at all!"
The ghost king found nothing beside him, so he couldn't help but suspect that the ghost emperor was playing tricks and deliberately making things difficult for them.
The ghost emperor looked at Gu Chen and stopped talking, his expression was cloudy and uncertain, as if he was thinking in his heart.
"Forget it, I'll give you a chance."
Ghost Emperor finally sighed, he really had no better choice.
"You want me to help you deal with Hades, but I'm in a very bad state right now, not to mention whether I can win the fight, even if I can win, you can't give me the reward I want now."
"But things can be compromised. If you can really get the support of all races in the mainland as you planned, then you will have the confidence to fight against the god of the underworld. If that is the case, the risk will be greatly reduced, and I may not be able to take action."
"But you owe me this, you owe me a favor, a very important favor, you have to keep it in your heart. When one day you can see what is on me, you must solve this matter for me!"
The ghost emperor said solemnly, emphasizing again and again that Gu Chen would owe him a lot of favor.
Gu Chen pondered these words carefully, his expression could not help showing surprise.
The ghost emperor meant that as long as the other ethnic groups had no problems, he could take action, which was equivalent to agreeing!
And the exchange condition turned out to be that he remembers this favor!
"I promise senior, I will definitely keep this matter in mind!"
Gu Chen replied seriously.
The ghost king was very surprised by the side, but he didn't expect things to turn around.
It seems that Jiang Yu's deduction is not wrong, the ghost emperor really treats Gu Chen differently!
"Then let's go! It's not easy to unite the monster clan, stone clan, and demon clan. I'm just making empty promises. Whether you can fulfill it or not depends on your own ability."
The ghost emperor turned around with a sneer and walked away.
