Chapter Seventy-One: Diving Underground
Such a clumsy lie, let alone Guo Chen, if any of the four of them comes, it can be exposed, and the reason is none other than what he said just now.
That's right, he said it himself, just now, he also said that there are a lot of people who have been pretending to be Nine Star Academy recently, and the next sentence says that he believes in their identity, and he really can't find a worse lie than this.
"But I can tell you that what I talked to your father about before was a matter of cooperation, and I can't reveal it in detail, you want to know and ask your father to go back. ”
After saying this, Guo Chen directly lifted the Soul Eater Dance, returned to his body, and faced Guan Ying's inquiring gaze, he said, "Let's go, go back to the box, I found it." ”
This was not just said to Guan Ying, but also transmitted to Shen Xuan and Ling Yunhao through runes, and three minutes later, the four of them returned to the box one after another.
Guo Chen told the three of them what had just happened, and then the expressions of the three of them were extremely unified and dazed.
They all felt that this was too, such a simple principle, there would still be people who couldn't figure it out, and then continued to be confused, until Guo Chen got out and didn't react.
"Don't look at me, I didn't expect them to have such a shallow understanding of spiritual skills in the East, it seems that if I was picked up by the people here, I wouldn't be treated as wastewood. ”
To be honest, the Oriental people's cognition of spiritual power and spiritual skills is too low, so low that even the four of them can't understand it, and they really don't know what the sects here are for.
"I seem to have heard a little bit, it is said that the sects in the east of the mainland have always been closed, except for the occasional person who comes to recruit disciples, no one leaves the sect at ordinary times. ”
The forest where Guan Ying was born is at the junction of the east and the south, strictly speaking, she actually belongs to the east, and she still knows a little about things here.
"Therefore, those who understand these things are taken away by the sect for closed training, and there are only some people on the mainland who don't understand these things, no wonder this situation occurs. ”
After listening to Guan Ying's words, Guo Chen made a summary, and then began to think, did the leaders of these sects in the East have their brains in water, or have they been kicked in the head by spirit beasts?
In addition to these two possibilities, he really couldn't think of any other possibility that could make them do such a brainless thing, and if this continued, Dongfang's spiritual power cultivation level would become weaker and weaker!
Those who understand these things will carry out closed cultivation, and the rest of the mainland will not be some people who don't understand this, and then wait until they end their closed cultivation, either stay in the sect as an official, or go to the west to break through.
In this way, when recruiting students next time, we must select some of the eliminators from the previous batch who know more about these, and then repeat the above process constantly.
By now, he could be regarded as knowing the reason why Dongfang had not produced any masters for so many years, but this was good news for them, at least it would be more convenient for them to fool people in the future.
And if this is the case, there will be no masters in the East, as long as they avoid the royal family, they will not encounter much danger.
"You said you found the entrance to the underground, when are we leaving?"
Shen Xuan once again led the topic to the right path, and this time he finally got a satisfactory answer.
"Immediately, wait for someone to come, you can entertain him well, since it is a site that only my spirit pupil can discover, then I can go in by myself. ”
As a result, Ling Yunhao on the side disagreed, and said: "No, what if you go in by yourself in case of danger, although your spiritual power is not low, you don't have any means of fighting." ”
Although this is a bit unpleasant, it is indeed a fact, if Guo Chen acts alone, he does have brain power, but his strength is not strong enough.
"I think it's okay for me and Ling Yunhao to be here, you can take Shen Xuan with you, with him to protect you, you can have some means to deal with danger when you encounter danger. ”
Guan Ying said that she agreed with Ling Yunhao's words, and also proposed to let Shen Xuan go with him, which was not bad, but I didn't know if Shen Xuan was willing.
In fact, to be honest, Guo Chen felt a little sorry for Shen Xuan, since he said goodbye to Ling Xu and went to the Nine Star Academy, he had always been a tool man.
Let's say that he is a member of the Nightmare Clan, he doesn't have Nightmare Pupils, let's say he's not, he has learned a lot from Ling Xu, and he can be regarded as half of his apprentice.
If he is cooperating with the Nightmare Clan, he has no background behind him, let's say that he is not, he has been dutifully guarding Guo Chen's safety.
And since he entered the Nine Star Academy, he has often delayed his own affairs because of the affairs of the Nightmare Clan, otherwise with his talent, he may have broken through now.
To say that his current status in the Nightmare Clan, there are also some problems, there were only two people in the past, he and Guo Chen, he was responsible for protecting Guo Chen, and it can be said that he is the third person in the Nightmare Clan.
Later, Jiang Xueyan intervened, he was responsible for protecting the two of them, and his status had also improved to a certain extent, but since Ling Yunhao appeared, there were some problems.
Originally, Guo Chen didn't have any masters around him, and only he could rely on him, but later Ling Yunhao appeared, his spiritual power was higher than him, and he also had the pupil of nightmares, and his status began to decline.
It's just that because he was in the Nine Star Academy at the time, even if his status has declined a little, he is still the person Guo Chen needs the most.
But later, Guan Ying cooperated with the Nightmare Clan, and with the assistance of spirit beasts, she already had some intention of replacing him.
Later, when the incident of the Nine Star Academy happened, Ling Yunhao no longer had to deliberately avoid it, his status began to rise in a straight line, and he had completely replaced him.
When he arrived at the Lindao Secret Realm not long ago, he didn't help much from beginning to end, the control of the Blue Secret Sword was not as good as Ling Xu, and the cooperation with Guo Chen was not as good as Ling Yunhao, and even in the end, he simply hung up.
His current situation, one is because of his own lack of strength, and the other is that he does not have the eyes of nightmares, and he is destined to have no way to become the core group of the nightmare clan.
With more and more helpers around Guo Chen, his sense of presence is also constantly weakening, and maybe after a while, he will become a dispensable role.
The only way to get him back to his former status is to get the Nightmare Pupil, otherwise no matter how talented he is, he will not be able to become a core member of the Nightmare Clan.
Now they have no way of knowing who the other four inheritors will be, and the only way is to enter the ancient ruins and find something that can guide them.
Is it possible for Shen Xuan to get the Nightmare Pupil, as long as he gets this thing, he will close the coffin, maybe this is also the reason why Shen Xuan has been urging.
But it was precisely because of this that Guo Chen didn't want him to go with him, if the two of them got it together, the final result was something that Shen Xuan didn't want to see, then he couldn't change anything.
If he goes in alone, he doesn't follow, and after he gets the result, although there is no way to change anything, he can find a way to make him feel a little better.
I don't know when it started, Guo Chen has already felt that sometimes it is not so comfortable to see through too many things, such as the current situation.
If he didn't let Shen Xuan go with him according to his thoughts, he would inevitably be asked the reason, and there was no way to quibble at all, he could only tell the truth.
But that would make Shen Xuan think that he didn't think he had a way to obtain the Nightmare Pupil, so this truth must not be told.
But if he agreed, it didn't matter if it was really untrue, anyway, he hadn't had time to start the plan yet.
Since coming to the old city, he has been consciously weakening Shen Xuan's sense of existence, trying not to let Guan Ying or Ling Yunhao mention this matter, but they still mentioned it, and he can't make a decision at all now.
But the question is already here, he will definitely not be able to answer it, and he will not find any reason to refuse, in this case, he can only be cold.
Guan Ying and Ling Yunhao didn't realize this problem yet, after all, they also knew them not long ago, and they didn't know much about Shen Xuan's personality.
"I don't have enough time, and I don't think he wants to go with me too much, so just stay here. ”
In the continuous cold scene, Guo Chen said a word coldly, and then quickly slipped out of the box, and the three of them didn't have time to react at all.
Seeing this situation, the three of them looked at each other, and then began to do their own thing, Shen Xuan cultivated, Ling Yunhao and Guan Ying discussed how to deal with Luo Hongzhuo later.
On the other side, Guo Chen's perception ability was fully opened along the way, avoiding everyone's sight, and successfully came to the underground entrance, but just as he was about to go down, someone suddenly entered his perception range.
And it was from an oblique bottom that he had nowhere to hide when someone was going up the stairs.
At the entrance of the staircase is a corridor, on one side of the corridor is a staircase, and the other is some decorations, as long as he leaves the corridor, he will be immediately discovered by others, it is really unavoidable.
So he stubbornly stuck to the wall on the opposite side of the stairs, his spiritual power was running at full speed, and the purple light flickered extremely violently, and now he could only use this method.
As long as someone comes up, they will immediately fall into his illusion skills, and when the time comes, in their eyes, there will be no Guo Chen, he sticks to the wall, just trying not to let them touch him.
With Guo Chen's current strength, unless he uses the illusion space, he can only change people's sense of sight, hearing, and pain, and he can't modify his sense of touch for the time being.
At this time, he will definitely not be able to cast the illusion space, the illusion space will directly trap people's souls, then lie here directly, it is easy to be discovered.
Soon, that person had already appeared in front of him, it was Luo Hongzhuo, seeing that he was getting closer and closer to him, Guo Chen had already held his breath.
Although Luo Hongzhuo has no spiritual power, Guo Chen still doesn't dare to be careless, now he really can't make a mistake, and any mistake may lead to the breakdown of cooperation with Luo Wenxiang.
After all, Luo Hongzhuo is his son, how can he continue to cooperate when he messes around in the auction hall where his son is in charge, or when his other son is about to get married.
Fortunately, it turned out that spiritual power was definitely one of the best things to use on the Zhuling Continent, Luo Hongzhuo did not stop, and left the corridor directly.
That Guo Chen hurriedly rushed down the stairs, he was not familiar with the arrangement, and it would definitely take a certain amount of time to find it, even if it was guided by the Pupil of Nightmares.
Nightmare Pupil's guidance has never been broken, but it is only a straight line guidance, it will not tell him how to go, only tell him in what direction, and the route needs to be planned by himself.
As soon as he reached the ground, Guo Chen could clearly feel that his perception ability had made a qualitative leap, and he could clearly feel the situation in the vicinity.
Then the corners of his mouth were bent into the sky, because in his perception, there was no one in the vicinity!
