Chapter 49: Who's Cheating Whom?

  "Where is the Spirit Fox? Where is the Spirit Fox?" Just as they entered the tavern, a loud voice rang out.

  There were five people in total, four men and one woman. One man and one woman stood at the front. The man had a zombie-like face, pale and bloodless. The woman was beautiful and curvaceous, with slender curves.

  The three men behind him were all over thirty years old, with rough builds. The loud voice just now was from the man on the left.

  Gu Chen's pupils contracted, these few people, even if they had turned into ashes, he could still recognize them, they were all the murderers who had bloodbathed his family in their past lives.

  In front of them was a man and a woman, the man's name was Wan Renjian, and the woman's name was Wan Renqi. Both were children of Wan Tianrui. Wan Renjian was nearly thirty years old and had a cultivation base of Xiantian Realm Fifth Layer. In his previous life, Gu Cangyun had fled with Gu Chen for hundreds of miles, only to be caught up by Wan Renjian.

  To save Gu Chen, Gu Cangqiong went crazy and exploded, although he was only at the fourth level of the Pre-Heaven Realm, he also sent Wan Renjian, who was at the fifth level of the Pre-Heaven Realm, to his death, and the two of them died together.

  Wan Renqi was about twenty-five or six years old, and also had the boundary of Xiantian Fourth Layer. Although she looked like a flower, when killing people, she didn't show any mercy, with a ruthless heart and cruel hands. In her past life, during the Great Tribulation of the Ancient Family, Gu Xiang died at Wan Renqi's hands.

  Because he saw Gu Yan was as beautiful as a heavenly immortal, Wan Renqi's heart was filled with jealousy and hatred. He cut off Gu Yan's ears, slashed eighteen swords on her face, and finally killed her.

  The three men behind him were all slaves of the Wan family, and they all had a realm of four layers of innate boundary.

  An old man sat with a white fox on his shoulder, extremely eye-catching in the wine house, and was immediately locked in the gaze of the five people who came in.

  The servant on the left side of Da Sheng Men, Wan Jia Nu, took a few steps towards Gu Chen and said, "Is this spirit fox yours?"

  Seeing the enemy from his past life appear before him, Gu Chen's heart was like a stormy sea crashing against the shore.

  However, Gu Chen didn't have the strength to deal with the Wan family yet. Although he was angry in his heart, his face didn't show even a hint of it. He reached out to touch Xiao Bai's head, and his eyes fixed on that Wan family servant as he nodded slightly.

  That famous family's servant nodded and said: "This spirit fox is liked by our young master, name a price, and the young master will buy it."

  "Squeak... Squeak squeak squeak..." Xiaobai suddenly let out a sharp cry, pointing at the house slave with both hands, extremely angry.

  Gu Chen stroked Xiao Bai's fur and said, "My spirit fox, you can't afford it."

  "Haha... joke."

  That wealthy man sneered and said, "In the city of Tai Yang, there is nothing that the Wan family cannot afford. Don't mention how much this spirit fox is worth, I'll give you a piece of spiritual stone, hand over the spirit fox, otherwise... heh heh."

  "What's wrong with you, how did you learn to speak like that?"

  Wan Jianren walked up and scolded the house slave named 'Wan Si', saying: "You little brother, you'd better tell me, why can't I buy it?"

  Gu Chen glanced at Xiao Bai and said, "Xiao Bai is my friend and voluntarily follows me. If you can make Xiao Bai willingly follow you, I won't take a single coin. But if Xiao Bai doesn't want to go with you, even if you offer me a spiritual stone mine, I still won't sell."

  "Preposterous... You little scamp, you open your mouth and it's a vein of spiritual stone, aren't you afraid the wind will be too strong and blow out your big teeth?" Wan Si shouted angrily.

  Wan Renjian patted Wan Si's arm, telling him to calm down, and smiled at Xiao Bai: "Xiao Bai Hu, follow me, and I'll give you whatever you want. Come here quickly!"

  "Hehehe... Hehehe..." Xiaobai supported Gu Chen's shoulder with one hand and pointed at Wanren Sword with the other, bursting into laughter.

  Gu Chen was already used to Xiao Bai's laughter, which was naked ridicule.

  Little White Fox...

  ……

  Wan Renshu kept a smiling face, coaxing and deceiving Xiao Bai, but no matter how he teased her, she still ridiculed him.

  "Ah, young brother..." Wan Renqi walked up, her eyes sparkling like autumn water, and asked Gu Chen: "May I ask, young brother, where are you from? What brings you here?"

  In the tavern, many monks gazed at Wan Ren Qi's eyes, and their eyes all had a dazed expression, even the three family slaves were no exception.

  "What a clever and seductive technique..." Gu Chen secretly took note.

  Xiaobai looked into Wanren Qi's eyes, but didn't feel even a bit uncomfortable or affected.

  Gu Chen pretended to be dazed and said: "I'm from Hei Mu City, it's my first time here for sightseeing."

  Wan Renshuang and Wan Renqi's eyes suddenly lit up, and Wan Renshuang chuckled and said: "In that case, you little stinker, it would be better for you to give the Ling Hu to me. It will be safer in Taiyang City."

  "Hehehe... Ah, what a handsome little brother! Is sister beautiful? Give your white fox to sister, and sister will pamper you." Wan Renqi said with a twist of her waist, chuckling.

  "Squeak......" Xiaobai suddenly let out a sharp, ear-piercing cry, and everyone's senses were instantly refreshed, returning to normal. Gu Chen also pretended to regain his composure.

  Wan Renqi looked at Xiaobai, his face showing surprise, and Xiaobai let out a sharp cry, actually breaking through all of Wan's seductive techniques.

  "Master..." Wan Renci's charm was scattered, and a person stood up on the right side of Gu Chen's desk, quickly walking towards Wan Renjian.

  Jian Gu Chen didn't eat soft food, Wan Ren Jian was about to reveal his true nature, but when he saw this person approaching, he immediately stopped the urge to speak.

  This person walked to Wan Renjian's ear and whispered a few words. Wan Renjian turned his gaze to Gu Chen, revealing an expression of surprise, saying: "You are looking for the whereabouts of the demon beast Zhu Hu?"

  Gu Chen nodded slightly, a hint of joy rising in his heart. From Wan Renshu's tone, it seemed that he knew the whereabouts of the demon beast, Zhu Hu.

  Jian Gu Chen nodded, and Wan Ren Jian and Wan Ren Qi's faces both showed a moment of joy before returning to normal.

  "Wan Ren Jian Dao said: 'What do you want to find Zhu Hu for? This demon has been hiding in the molten fire at the bottom of the earth for years, even if we know where it is, there's no way to catch it.'"

  Listening to Wan Renjian's words, Gu Chen was certain that he knew the whereabouts of Zhuohu and also wanted to capture him. It's just that Zhuohu was hiding in the underground molten fire, so he couldn't catch him.

  Gu Chen smiled slightly and said, "I have a way to capture it."

  "What method?" Wan Renjian and Wan Rongqi's eyes shone brightly, and they suddenly exclaimed with joy.

  The two of them suddenly felt a bit out of place and laughed awkwardly for a few moments to cover it up.

  "This is a secret method, not to be shared with outsiders." Gu Chen said calmly.

  "Wan Si's face turned red with rage: 'You little brat, the young master is asking you, how dare you not speak?'"

  Gu Chen looked at Wan Si with a hint of disdain in his eyes and said: "Even if I die, I won't tell outsiders."

  Wan Si was about to speak, but Wan Renjian glared at him with one eye, then turned to Gu Chen and said: "Young brother, I know where the Flame Tiger is hiding. Why don't we join forces and capture this demon together? Once we catch it, you can take whatever you want."

  "Really?" Gu Chen sneered in his heart, but his face showed great joy.

  "What identity do I, Wan Renshuai, have? Little brother can ask around in Taicheng, wouldn't dare deceive you? Capture the Blazing Tiger, and everything you want will be given to you." Wan Renshuai feigned slight anger.

  Gu Chen looked like a thirteen or fourteen year old boy, so Wan Renshu naturally took him for an inexperienced young whippersnapper. If he could use Gu to capture Zhu Hu, then everything would be perfect.

  "Alright, where is Zhu Hu? Let's go catch him now..." Gu Chenxi said.

  "Little brother, tell sister, do you really have a way to catch the Blazing Tiger? The Blazing Tiger has been hiding in the underground molten fire for years, it's not that easy to catch." asked Wan Renqi.

  Gu Chen nodded, his face red with excitement, like a child eager to prove himself, and said: "As long as there's Zhi Hu, we'll definitely catch him."

  Wan Renjian and Wan Rongqi exchanged a glance, both eyes revealing joy, saying: "Good... we'll go to the place where the tiger is hiding now and capture it."

  Soon, Gu Chen and Wan Renjian, Wan Renqi, as well as three servants of the Wan family, left the Fragrant Wine Building, transformed into several long rainbows, heading east towards the desolate broken sky.

  Gu Chen didn't ask Wan Renjian and Wan Renqi what they wanted to take from Hu's body, and neither did Wan Renjian and Wan Renqi ask Gu Chen what he needed.

  Wan Rensheng thought that if this kid really had a way to capture the fierce tiger, then when it came time to divide the spoils, wouldn't he be the one calling the shots?

  And on his hand was a cute little white fox, humming...

  "A foolish little kid who has just left his village and entered the Cultivation Realm for the first time is so easy to deceive! He actually dares to follow a stranger into the Eastern Wastes? Haha... I'll kill him a hundred times, a hundred times..." Wan Renshu's heart was filled with great joy.

  Wan Rongqi stood on the flying sword, her autumnal waves occasionally sweeping across Gu Chen's face, seeing that Gu Chen was not stunned by her appearance, she felt a little annoyed in her heart.

  Gǔ Chén consistently maintained the speed of a first-level cultivator, following behind Wàn Rén Jiàn and Wàn Rén Qí. The three slaves from the Wàn family trailed behind Gǔ Chén in an arc shape, bringing up the rear of the group.

  If someone looks at the formation of several people from a higher place, they will find that in fact, Gu Chen is surrounded by the five members of the Wan family in a circle, and Gu Chen is in the center of the circle.

  Gu Chen was mentally prepared for this, but on the surface he pretended not to know and buried his head in flight.

  Ten thousand families, five people, the lowest cultivation is at least four layers of innate boundary. Gu Chen, however, only has one layer of innate boundary. The speed of escape is based on Gu Chen's speed, flying east towards the East Wilderness.

  The East Wilderness is vast and boundless. The last time Gu Chen entered the East Wilderness was from Le Shui City, although he ventured over 90,000 miles deep into the East Wilderness, it was only in an east-west direction, with a search range of about 10,000 miles north-south, and that was after penetrating several tens of thousands of miles into the East Wilderness.

  From Taicheng City into Donghuang, flying southeast all the way, far away from the last search of Gu Chen's Donghuang territory.

  Although it flew southeast, the direction was not exactly southeast, but rather due south with a slight inclination to the east. After flying for a day, although they had covered a distance of over a thousand miles, in reality, their vertical distance into the Eastern Wilderness was only about two or three hundred miles.

  Wan Renshu stood on the flying sword, one hand behind his back and the other pointing in the direction of the fleeing figure. "In front of us, more than 50,000 miles away, there is a great mountain called Huoyan Mountain. The entire mountain range stretches for thousands of miles, with flames spewing out from the ground that never extinguish all year round. The temperature is extremely high, and within a hundred miles, no living creature can survive. There is only one fierce tiger hiding in the Huoyan Mountain and the Molten Flame Cave."

  More than 50,000 li southeast, Flame Mountain and Molten Cave.

  Gu Chen's expression didn't change, but every word that Wan Ren Jian said was remembered in his heart without missing a single character.

  "What kind of cultivation is that fierce tiger?"

  "But it's just the fifth layer of Xiantian." Wan Renshen said casually, but his eyes were paying attention to Gu Chen's expression.

  Gu Chen was shocked and exclaimed: "Pre-Heaven Realm five layers? This demon beast is really formidable!"

  Wan Renshen burst out laughing and said, "It's just a first heaven boundary fifth layer demonic beast, you don't have to worry. As long as you can lure it out of the Magma Cave, I'll make sure it won't be able to escape."

  "That's great!" Gu Chen couldn't help but reveal a joyful expression and let out a cheer.

  That Flame Mountain is over 50,000 miles away from the City of Taiyang. To arrive as soon as possible, Gu Chen maintained his cultivation at the first layer of the Pre-Heavenly Realm and desperately increased his speed to reach the highest speed of the first layer of the Pre-Heavenly Realm.

  In one day, it can fly over 1,600-1,700 miles.

  Night falls, and several people find a safe place to land. In the dark night, the monks' vision is greatly affected, while many monsters are born as natural killers in the dark night. Unless they are above the Divine Sea Realm, monks can use their divine consciousness to 'watch', no monk dares to fly in the Eastern Wilderness at night.

  After landing, Gu Chen walked to one side and took the opportunity to drink water, swallowing a medium-grade Yuanling Dan into his abdomen. He grasped a spiritual stone in each hand and began to cultivate.

  As long as there is any opportunity to cultivate, Gu Chen will never waste it.

  Soon, Gu Chen entered the state of Tongxuan, as if there was an eye in his body, and the trajectory of the true energy running inside his body all appeared clearly in his mind.

  Moreover, within a range of several zhang around him, every movement of the wind and grass was carefully noted by Gu Chen. Xiao Bai sat beside him, his eyes fixed on Wan Jia's five people, full of vigilance.

  Suddenly a series of footsteps came, Xiao Bai lightly hummed, Gu Chen opened his eyes.

  Wan Rongqi twisted her waist and walked towards Gu Chen with a swaying hip.

  "Today's flight has lasted for a whole day, the sky is already dark, and yet you still want to cultivate? At such a young age, you've already entered the Pre-Heaven realm, indeed you're diligent." Wan Renqi walked up to Gu Chen's front and stopped, saying.

  Gu Chen looked ahead and said, "I have poor qualifications, I can only make up for it with hard work, and I was lucky to be admitted to the university. Compared to Wan Shaozhu and Miss Wan, I am far inferior."

  Wan Rongqi sat down in front of Gu Chen, lifted her skirt and revealed two snow-white slender legs, saying: "Young master, look at my legs, are they beautiful?"

  Gu Chen nodded and said, "Good looking."

  Wan Rongqi smiled, her hand sliding over the snow-white thigh, "Young master said there's a way to lure the Blazing Tiger out of the Furnace Cave, can you tell me?"

  As they spoke, Wan Rongqi's eyes were like autumn waves, tightly staring at Gu Chen like a vast ocean, her hand lightly pulling the hem of her skirt to the top of her thighs.

  Gu Chen smiled slightly and said: "Miss Wan, do you know how old I am this year?"

  Jian Gu Chen's expression was clear and bright, Wan Ren Qi slightly stunned, said: "How old are you?"

  "Eleven years old." Gu Chen said: "Miss Wan, your charm is completely misused on me."

  "Squeak squeak squeak... Squeak squeak squeak..." Xiaobai clapped the ground with one hand and pointed at Wanren Qi with the other, bursting into laughter.

  "Hmph..." Wan Renci's face was as cold as frost, and she let out a chilly hum before standing up and walking towards Wan Renshu.

  Gu Chen gazed at Wan Ren Qi as she left a distance of ten zhang, closed his eyes, breathed steadily and continued to cultivate.

  Wan Renci sat down beside Wan Renjian, panting heavily, still seething with anger.

  Wan Renshuang glanced at Gu Chen and smiled: "What? Did you get shut out?"

  "That kid must be blind, ignoring the young lady's charm." Wan Si said excitedly, "The young lady smiled at Wan Si, willing to sacrifice his life for her at any time, and Wan Si is also willing."

  Wan Renqi smiled at Wan Si, and Wan Si's soul was immediately overturned, her eyes were dizzy, and she stared at the high place in front of Wan Renqi's chest, breathing rapidly.

  Bang bang bang bang......

  "Good boy......" Wan Renci stretched out his palm and slapped Wan Si's face four times, but Wan Si was completely unaware.

  "That detestable little brat, actually doesn't fall for my trick, humph..." Wan Renci glared at Gu Chen with a hateful gaze and said.

  "Wan Ren Jian Dao said: 'The white fox next to him is a bit special, your charm technique didn't work on that kid, it should be because of that white fox.'"

  "That dead fox..." Wan Renci cursed in a low voice, "And who knows if that little brat is telling the truth or not? It's not easy to lure out the fierce tiger."

  Wan Renshuang glanced at Gu Chen and said in a low voice, "I think it's not bad. Anyway, Father is now in seclusion and will be closed for a long time. We don't have anything to do, so let's go to Huoyan Mountain. It won't take two months, and we can bring him along... When we arrive at Huoyan Mountain, if we can lure out the Zhuohu Tiger, that would be even better. If not, then the only Spirit Fox will fall into our hands, and we won't lose..."

  "If we can lure out the Blazing Tiger and obtain its inner dan, that would be even better. Refining the Blazing Tiger's inner dan could potentially allow Father's cultivation to break through to the Divine Sea Realm!" Wan Renqi exclaimed excitedly.
