Ye Chen looked at Gu Tusu's fiery eyes and was slightly startled.
If, as Gu Xi said, the holy soul fragment was fused with Gu Tusu's blood, it would be almost impossible to take it out smoothly. If he had to take it forcefully, his life would be hurt.
By then, if everyone else is dead, how can he become a disciple?
Gu Xi obviously knew that the situation was serious and said sternly: "Tu Su, don't talk nonsense!"
After a pause, he said to Leng Muqing and Ye Chen: "Miss Leng, Mr. Ye, we'd better discuss this matter again. You'd better send a flying sword letter and go back to the old Japanese alliance to ask if the demon Zu Wutian can promise that even if the fragments of the holy soul are taken out, my son’s life will not be harmed, so I will hand him over to you.”
Leng Muqing looked at Ye Chen and said, "Hey, Ye Shitian, I will listen to you, what do you think?"
Ye Chen thought for a while and said, "Then let my uncle take a look."
Leng Muqing nodded, and then sent a flying sword message back to the old alliance to ask Demon Ancestor Wutian.
Afterwards, the two of them waited for a reply, but they waited until dark and received no reply.
The Gu family members are also waiting nervously.
Gu Xi said: "It seems that this matter is not a trivial matter. Demon Ancestor Wutian will also consider it carefully. Miss Leng, Lord Ye, you can stay in our house tonight."
Ye Chen said: "That's fine."
Gu Xi saw Leng Muqing holding Ye Chen's arm, looking quite affectionate, and asked, "I wonder if you two adults would like one room or two rooms?"
Leng Muqing said: "One room."
Ye Chen said: "Two rooms."
The two spoke and answered, almost speaking at the same time.
After Gu Xi heard this, he was stunned and embarrassed.
Leng Muqing's cheeks turned red with embarrassment.
Ye Chen coughed and said, "I want two rooms, right next to each other."
Gu Xi responded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, I will make arrangements immediately."
That night, Ye Chen and Leng Muqing temporarily stayed in the Gu family's guest room.
In the dead of night, Ye Chen sensed carefully and caught the blazing aura in the ground at the back of the Gu family, which seemed particularly hot in the dark night. It must have been the spiritual energy fluctuations of the Suzaku Gate.
The traitor named Xing Gulie is obviously also possessed by Suzaku Gate.
"Master Tomb Owner, let's set out at night. Now that we've found the traitor, we can't let him go."
In the Reincarnation Cemetery, Jiuyou Evil Lord secretly reminded.
Ye Chen nodded and said: "That's what I meant, it would be good to solve it easily."
At that moment, Ye Chen stood up and prepared to go out.
Tuk-tuk-tuk——
But at this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.
"who?"
Ye Chen had caught Gu Tusu's aura. It was obviously Gu Tusu knocking on the door, but he still asked subconsciously.
"Master Ye, it's me."
Naturally it was Gu Tusu's voice.
Ye Chen said: "Come in."
Squeak.
Gu Tusu pushed the door open and came in, then suddenly with a plop, he knelt in front of Ye Chen, kowtowed loudly, and said: "Master Ye, I admire your swordsmanship very much. Please accept me as your disciple and teach me the art of Shisui." sword."
Ye Chen was surprised. He didn't expect Gu Tusu to be a disciple late at night. He quickly helped Gu Tusu up and said, "You get up first."
Gu Tusu's eyes were full of sincerity and he said: "Master Ye, please accept me as your disciple!"
Ye Chen was helpless. He didn't expect that the other party would never forget him and still wanted to become a disciple. He said, "Let's talk about the apprenticeship later."
Seeing that Ye Chen refused to accept it, Gu Tusu thought that he was not sincere enough and said, "Master Ye, what apprenticeship ceremony do you want? My Gu family has a rich foundation. Whatever you want, I can find a way to give it to you."
Ye Chen smiled bitterly and said, "No need."
Gu Tusu turned his eyes and seemed to have thought of something, and said: "By the way, Mr. Ye, come with me. There is a magic weapon that you must be very interested in." He said that he wanted to take Ye Chen out.
Ye Chen stood still and said, "What magic weapon?"
Gu Tusu said: "This is the Vermilion Bird Gate, one of the nine gates in the ancient world. It is hidden deep in the earth of my Gu family. Let me take you to see it."
Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words "Suzaku Gate".
The Suzaku Gate was the magic weapon of the Tianwu Immortal Sect, which was later stolen by Xing Gulie.
He was just about to kill Xing Gulie and take back the Suzaku Gate, but now when he heard Gu Tusu mention it, his heart jumped sharply.
It seems that the Gu family also knows about the Suzaku Gate and will definitely send people to guard it. It is not easy for Ye Chen to get close.
Now Gu Tusu wanted to take Ye Chen to see the Suzaku Gate, which was a convenient opportunity.
Ye Chen remained calm and followed Gu Tusu out.
Gu Tusu looked excited. He just wanted to honor Ye Chen and successfully become a disciple. He took Ye Chen all the way to the back of the Gu family.
There are more than a dozen strong men from the Gu family guarding the entrance of the cave in the back mountain.
"I've met the young master!"
Seeing Gu Tusu bringing people there late at night, the dozen or so strong men of the Gu family were confused, but they saluted immediately.
Gu Tusu nodded and said, "I have to go down for something, please get out of the way."
Everyone looked at each other with doubts and a hint of vigilance.
A strong man's eyes narrowed and he asked: "Young Master, I wonder what is going on?"
Gu Tusu said: "It's nothing. Mr. Ye wants to see the treasure of our Gu family. You don't need to panic, and don't tell my father."
Everyone was stunned, but they expected that Ye Shitian was a big shot in the old Japanese alliance and would not rob the Gu family's things, so they all got out of the way.
Gu Tusu was overjoyed and took Ye Chen into the cave.
There is a passage in the cave that goes all the way down and seems to extend deep into the underground spiritual veins.
"Master, the Suzaku Gate is underground."
Gu Tusu said excitedly.
Ye Chen said: "Don't call me master."
Gu Tusu said: "Yes, Master."
Ye Chen was speechless for a while, but he was too lazy to say anything and followed Gu Tusu all the way underground.
The deeper he went underground, the more Ye Chen felt a blazing aura of earth veins, as hot as lava, and the heat wave was overwhelming.
Finally, after walking for a full two-quarters of an hour, Ye Chen arrived at the Gu family's underground world.
But here, there is a dark red color everywhere, the temperature is very high, and there are hot rivers of magma flowing on the ground. The rocks on the surrounding mountain walls seem to be about to collapse at any time under the baking of the magma, and the gurgling magma is erupting. The sound of bubbles sounded dangerous.
At the source of the magma river is a huge portal.
This portal is red in color and engraved with many flying cloud and wing-like patterns. It is a magnificent spectacle. It stands on the ground and is a hundred feet high. The top of the door reaches the top of the mountain. People standing in front of this door are as small as ants.
"Is this the Suzaku Gate?"
Ye Chen looked carefully and saw that there were many ancient cracks on the door. It was obviously due to the years and serious wear and tear. It must be a magic weapon from the prehistoric era.
"Master, this is the treasure of my Gu family, the Suzaku Gate. Legend has it that the Suzaku Gate is a magic weapon from the old days. It accidentally fell into the territory of my Gu family. Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and this magic weapon has become Integrate with my Gu family’s earth line.”
