In the dark depths of the earth, a huge bonfire rose, and countless monks and mortals were resting.
They have advanced in the center of the earth for a long time, relying on Gu Chen's manipulation of gravity, even ordinary people are fine.
Seeing that the chasing soldiers were unlikely to reach this place, and everyone was exhausted, Gu Chen ordered to rest here.
By the bonfire, Gu Chen and many old friends gathered together, listening to the stories that happened this 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 Shenzong. As soon as they arrived in the Kunlun Continent, they frantically searched around. They didn't know what they were looking for."
"They searched for a few days and found nothing, so they set their sights on the dangerous places."
"The dangerous places seem to have been the inheritance left by the members of the Shenzong sect. They took it back and took it away, and at the same time conducted a selection in the whole continent."
As Shen Xudong said, Gu Chen's expression became tense when he heard this.
"The scope of the selection was extremely wide, and the competition among the Shenzong was extremely fierce. Most of the members of the Stone Clan and the Demon Clan were taken away, and many young demon kings from the Monster Clan were also selected."
"As for our human race, there are many god sects vying for the talents of the younger generation. According to the information obtained at the time, the reason why they did this was because of two considerations."
"One reason is that 30,000 years ago, many disciples of Shenzong left their inheritance on the Kunlun Continent. These inheritances have already penetrated into the world of cultivators in our mainland, and have been inherited by many young geniuses."
"Secondly, because the cultivation conditions of the Canghuang Ancient Star are extremely harsh, they believe that the geniuses who have made small achievements under such adversity have great potential, and they value their youth, so they decide to take them away for training."
"Many of the people who were taken away during this process are known to you, such as Sun Jinming from the Nanling Monster Clan, Shi Jian from the Shi Clan, Qi Zeyan from the Nanhua Holy Land, Mu Ziyu from the Shenmu Sect, and Lan The first princess, she..."
Gu Chen couldn't help taking a deep breath, "Grandpa, how is Lan Chu?"
Shen Xudong sighed, "I didn't see Princess Lanchu with my own eyes, but I heard about it from the Mu family later, and the Mu family learned about it from Mu Ziyu. It is said that when the great sects came, Princess Lanchu It just happened to wake up from the dragon's nest."
"Princess Lanchu is a very special one. The one who took her away was not Shenzong, but a force called Kunlun Protoss. According to what Mu Ziyu said before leaving with Shenzong, it turns out that the royal family with the Ji surname in Zhongtu has a long history."
"The ancestors of the Ji family were not born and raised on the ancient planet Canghuang, but came to the Kunlun Continent with the Kunlun Ruins 30,000 years ago, and belonged to the descendants of the Kunlun Protoss."
"It is said that people from the Kunlun Protoss 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 kidnap Lan Chu back then. It turned out that the Kunlun Ruins had a deep connection with the Ji family. Without Lan Chu's blood, he would not have the power of the dragon vein at all.
It's just that he still met a more cunning bamboo hat man, but he 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 a blood relationship with her."
"In addition, her aptitude is very good. I believe that she will not be neglected if she goes to the Kunlun Protoss. It is also said that the green bull went with her. It was sent by you to protect Princess Lanchu. With it, Lan Princess Chu is not alone or helpless."
Shen Xudong said in relief that he knew that his grandson and Princess Lanchu were in love with each other. If Princess Lanchu hadn't fallen into a coma and Gu Chen didn't live long, the two might have tied the knot.
Now that Gu Chen came back with great difficulty, Princess Lanchu was taken away by his own people again.
Shen Xudong's consolation had an effect, Gu Chen nodded.
Regardless of Lan Chu's parents or elder brother, all her relatives were killed by the Huangfu's family at the beginning, so it might be a good thing to find her blood relatives now.
Moreover, Gu Chen is very confident in Lan Chu's aptitude. At the beginning, his Weiwo changed his life against the sky for Lan Chu and mobilized the power of the Kunlun Dragon Vessel to help her. Her physique has been further sublimated.
Since the Kunlun Protoss values her talent and is a relative, there is no reason to neglect her.
Compared with other people who were taken away by Shenzong, her starting point can be said to be very high.
"Sovereign, besides Princess Lanchu, the eight saintesses of my Tianchen Sect were also taken away."
Huang Pingzhang smiled wryly.
The eight girls including Lu Yichen and Zhao Rou are very young and very talented, especially Lu Yichen who has an extremely cold heart is the best among them.
The major god sects failed to find what they were looking for in Canghuang Ancient Star, and they seemed to have taken away all the young monks who they thought had potential with the intention of not losing money.
Lu Yichen's eight daughters were taken away by a sect called Luoying Shenzong. This sect seems to have all female disciples, which is very special among the major sects.
The list of those who were taken away was almost all those who Gu Chen knew had potential in the younger generation of the Kunlun Continent, and even some Daoists and Quasi-Daoists from the original Heavenly Court were taken away.
In addition, many strong men of the older generation, monks who were amazingly talented when they were young, may have passed the best age for cultivation, but they were not caught by the eyes of Shenzong and were not taken away.
The only young genius who had not heard of being taken away by Shenzong turned out to be Ye Qingshuang!
Even her whole life seemed to have evaporated in the past year, neither the Shen family nor the Tianting and Tianchenzong people 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 haven't told me where my mother and 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, so he can't distract himself from looking for them.
It turned out that he thought they should be with the Tianchenzong or the Shen family, but when he arrived at the resting place, he realized that they were not there at all!
Seeing that Gu Chen finally asked about this matter, Huang Pingzhang, Yu Chizhong and others present all showed shame on their faces, and Shen Xudong also looked at them.
"Sovereign Lord, the matter is like this."
Huang Pingzhang quickly explained, "Although the major gods took away a group of geniuses, they did not do anything to our Kunlun Continent. Instead, they were the major alien legions that came after them. They are real bandits!"
