"Qingniu heard that there was a problem with the Kunlun Protoss, so he recommended himself. Two days ago, he went to the Heng Ting Starfield to investigate. I believe that useful news will be sent back soon."

After Tangning finished speaking with the patriarch of the Rage God Clan, Gu Chen's brows slightly relaxed upon hearing this.

Qingniu is strong enough, and it has stayed with Lan Chu in Kunlun main star for ten years, so it knows the situation there, so it is very suitable for investigating this matter.

Now that it has come forward, I believe it will soon be possible to understand what happened.

Gu Chen temporarily put this matter aside, and continued to discuss many important matters with the generals.

The meeting lasted for two hours before everything was dealt with. At this time, Gu Chen didn't take a break, and asked someone to summon the messenger from the underworld.

The heavenly generals left one after another, and Gu Chen sat in the hall, thinking about what terms the underworld envoys would negotiate with him, and what he would do to persuade them to join the heavenly court.

This faction is too important, and it is the first step in rebuilding the fairy world. Only by winning over them can the powers of the former fairy world, such as the Yuhuazong and Linglong Immortal Palace, return.

"The messenger of the underworld is here!"

A moment later, the Heavenly Soldiers reported that a man in a gray robe stepped into the hall.

This man looked to be nearly fifty years old, with a cold face like a knife, and a gloomy temperament.

As soon as Gu Chen saw his appearance, all the words he had been planning were suddenly choked in his throat.

"Ghost Emperor?"

Gu Chen was shocked because this person turned out to be the Ghost Emperor whom he hadn't seen for many years!

Before Gu Chen could inquire, the Ghost Emperor bowed politely to him who was sitting on the throne.

"The emissary of the underworld, Ghost Jue, see the first day of the Heavenly Court, Master Gu Chengu."

Ghost Emperor's voice was flat, without any emotion that should be felt when reuniting an old friend, as if he didn't know Gu Chen.

Gu Chen was dumb for a moment, his face became cloudy and uncertain.

Ghost?

Looking at the other person's appearance, he doesn't seem to know himself. Could it be that he just looks the same as the ghost emperor?

It would be fine if they were just similar in appearance, but the other party came on behalf of the underworld, but it suddenly made Gu Chen's imagination run wild.

"When I traveled back in time and space, I saw a bone ship descend from the sky, taking away the ghost emperor and ghost king."

"After stepping into the starry sky, I was also curious about which Divine Dao force the ghost emperor was taken away. I did a simple investigation, but unfortunately it ended without a problem."

"Huangquan, Jifu, Huangquan Immortal Emperor... So that's the case, because Lan Chu and the others were all taken away by the forces of the divine way back then, so I subconsciously thought that the ghost emperor was the same."

"But the fact is that the forces that traced the seed of origin to the pale yellow ancient star 30,000 years ago are not all of the divine way..."

Gu Chen murmured in his heart, after a little deliberation with his wisdom, he came to a clear realization.

The inheritance of the ghost emperor comes from the underworld of the ghost market, and the legend of the underworld is the entrance to the underworld, and even the founder of the power of the underworld is the emperor of underworld.

I'm afraid that the ghost emperor and ghost king were taken away by the underworld back then. Although the meeting between the two was unexpected, but after careful consideration, it was completely reasonable.

But, why does the ghost emperor act like he doesn't know himself?

Gu Chen was puzzled, thought for a while, and asked everyone in the hall to step back and talk to the ghost emperor alone.

He guessed that perhaps because the two sides now represent a force, the Ghost Emperor didn't want to expose the relationship between the two in front of others.

Gu Chen asked everyone to back down, the Ghost Emperor's expression didn't change much when he saw this, and said politely.

"Master Gu, Tianting performed extremely well in the previous battle with the supreme beings outside the world, especially Mr. Gu, you are the well-deserved overlord of my Ninth Realm."

"My house master was encouraged by the great victory of the Heavenly Court, and intends to form an alliance with the Heavenly Court, so he specially ordered me to come here to visit and discuss with Mr. Gu the specific conditions for the alliance between the two parties."

Gu Chen listened to what the ghost emperor said, and the more he listened, the weirder he became.

With the friendship between the ghost emperor and himself, he would not talk like this at all.

He was surprised but did not reveal it, and said calmly. "I don't know what conditions the master of the underworld has, so I can tell you."

The ghost emperor seemed to be waiting for this sentence, and his expression became very serious.

"I heard that the Heavenly Sword is in Lord Gu's hands. I wonder if this is true?"

Gu Chen nodded. "indeed so."

In the battle against the Milky Way, the desolate immortal used the Heavenly Sword, and Gu Chen used it again half a month ago in the battle with the two supreme beings from outside the world. It is not difficult for the underworld to find out the news.

He pondered for a while, Huangquan Dao Sword is the emperor soldier of Huangquan Immortal Emperor, and the underworld is a power inherited by Huangquan Immortal Emperor, so he mentions it as soon as he opens his mouth. I am afraid that the alliance is false, and the demand for Huangquan Dao Sword is true.

"Everyone knows that the Huangquan Dao Sword is the emperor's weapon of the Huangquan Immortal Emperor, and it should belong to my underworld."

"But after Immemorial Emperor Huangquan disappeared, this soldier also disappeared. Unexpectedly, it fell into the hands of General Huangtian, and finally fell into the hands of Master Gu."

"Our palace lord's meaning is this, if Mr. Gu can return the Huangquan Dao sword, then my underworld will immediately form an alliance with the heavens, and the two sides will share weal and woe from now on."

The ghost emperor spoke quickly, and as Gu Chen guessed, he came for the sword of Huangquan.

Gu Chen didn't speak for a while, thinking about it in his heart.

The Huangquan Dao Sword is indeed a relic of the Immortal Emperor Huangquan, and it stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with returning it.

Except for the Heaven Sweeping Sword which he left for the Overlord body deity, he kept the Huangquan Dao Sword, the Desolate Ancient Treasure Tree and the Styx River by his side, and it would not be troublesome to hand them over.

However, Gu Chensheng was alerted by the ghost emperor's unfamiliarity with him, and always felt that there seemed to be something tricky in it.

"I don't know what Master Gu wants? If Master Gu is willing to return the Huangquan Dao Sword, everyone in the underworld will be grateful."

Seeing that Gu Chen didn't speak, the Ghost Emperor took the initiative to ask.

Only then did Gu Chen come back to his senses, and said with a smile. "It's not impossible to return the Huangquan Dao Sword, but it's a big matter, and I want to negotiate with the Palace Master of the Underworld face to face."

Hearing the words, the ghost emperor said neither humble nor overbearing.

"Master Gu is very considerate, but it's okay to hand over the Huangquan Dao Sword to my subordinates. The Palace Master is currently in seclusion, so I'm afraid it's inconvenient to meet with you. Since I am an emissary of the underworld, I naturally represent the Palace Master of the Underworld, and I will never go back on my word."

Gu Chen's eyes flickered for a while, retreat?

Since the master of the underworld attaches so much importance to the sword of Huangquan Dao, he sent envoys here shortly after the end of the war, why did he retreat at this time?

Ghost Emperor's foreword and afterword are indeed somewhat contradictory.

"Since the Palace Master wants to form an alliance with my Heavenly Court, he must show enough sincerity. Do you think you can take away the Huangquan Dao Sword from me with just a few words as an envoy?"

Gu Chen's voice became colder on purpose.

The ghost emperor's face immediately changed when he heard this. "Master Gu, don't misunderstand, the sincerity of the Palace Master is naturally full. If the Lord insists on meeting, the Palace Master will naturally not refuse."

"Oh? You said that it is inconvenient for the Palace Master to meet you, but now you can meet again? You are a mere envoy, when will you be able to make a decision for the Palace Master of the Underworld, don't you need to ask for instructions?"

Gu Chen's face became colder.

This ghost emperor has a big problem!
