78: Chapter 78 Demon Emperor Pearl: What kind of person is the Gu family patriarch?

Patriarch Ru Tianming said respectfully, "Senior, I will send you Ru Shuang's location right away!"

Elder Cangwu raised his hand. "No need. Tell me, where are they going next?"

"It is said that Gu Chen is returning to the Eastern Region, so he should be departing from the spirit ship terminal in Tianyuan Province."

He put away the communication jade talisman.

He smiled, a glint of perverse interest flashing in his eyes!

"Old Ancestor, why not go directly to Tianque City to capture them?" a Disciple couldn't help but ask.

Elder Cangwu glanced at him.

The Disciple shuddered and hurriedly lowered his head.

Elder Cangwu licked his lips. "Capturing them directly, how boring. A young girl must be chased slowly to be interesting!"

It was like an old man saying to a young girl, 'I'm coming!'

He stood with his hands behind his back, a look of intoxication on his face.

"She runs, I chase, and she cannot escape even with wings. You wouldn't understand this feeling!"

The Disciple kept his head down, not daring to respond.

Pervert!

He cursed in his heart but didn't dare say it out loud.

Just then!

The Void Realm around them distorted!

A mass of black Qi appeared from the air.

Immediately after, those Disciples were turned directly into puddles of blood!

Elder Cangwu sensed that aura and immediately turned around.

The black Qi condensed into a figure!

It was shrouded in a black cloak, its face indistinguishable, with only a pair of scarlet eyes visible!

That aura.

It was not of the Human Race.

It was the Demon Race!

"Who are you? Why have I never seen you before?"

The person's voice was hoarse. "Fellow Daoist Cangwu, there is no need to be nervous."

"Who exactly are you?"

The person smiled, his laughter grating. "You can call me Moyuan."

He revealed a pale face; his features were no different from those of the Human Race.

On his forehead was an extra vertical pupil.

It was the mark of the Demon Race.

Only then did Elder Cangwu lower his guard!

So, it was one of his own!

It was clear that Elder Cangwu had already defected to the Demon Race, all to obtain more powerful strength!

He was in a state bordering on obsession with power!

"What do you want to do?" Elder Cangwu asked in a deep voice.

Moyuan smiled. "I heard that the reward for this Genius Tournament is a portion of the Great Emperors Inheritance."

Upon hearing this, a trace of greed flashed in Elder Cangwu's eyes.

A portion of the Great Emperors Inheritance?!

He only knew that Ru Shuang was in the Genius Tournament; he didn't know what the reward was.

The Great Emperors Inheritance, even a portion of it, was enough to drive any Quasi-Emperor mad!

"Combined with your little girl's Taiyin Spirit Body, which is a great tonic, if the two are combined, reaching the Great Emperor Realm is not impossible!"

Elder Cangwu's breathing became rapid.

Great Emperor!

That was a Realm he didn't even dare to dream of!

Now, was there a chance?!

But he quickly calmed down!

Patriarch Ru Tianming had said that the young man had three Peak Quasi-Emperors behind him; he was likely no match for those three.

Attacking to seize it would not be worth the loss!

"That young man has three Peak Quasi-Emperors behind him. I am afraid I cannot defeat those three alone!"

Moyuan smiled.

"Since you have already defected to our Demon Race, we will naturally give you good things!"

A black bead appeared in Moyuan's hand.

The bead exuded a strange aura!

"What is this?" Elder Cangwu stared at the bead.

Moyuan said, "It is the demon emperor bead of our Demon Race, which can allow you to briefly become a Great Emperor!"

Elder Cangwu's pupils dilated!

Briefly become a Great Emperor?!

"And there will be no side effects," Moyuan added.

"It will not place any burden on your body! You can experience the power of a Great Emperor in advance!"

Elder Cangwu stared at the black bead, greed flashing in his eyes!

The power of a Great Emperor!

That was the thing he dreamed of!

Even if it was only for a short time, it was worth it!

He wanted it too much!

"What is the price?" Elder Cangwu asked.

"Smart!"

He stopped smiling, and his voice turned cold.

"When the rift opens, that is when our Demon Race army will invade. These humans are all blood food, and you can take the opportunity to improve your strength. By then, let alone Peak Quasi-Emperor, becoming a true Great Emperor is not impossible!"

Elder Cangwu was silent for a moment.

He certainly knew what the Demon Race's goal was.

Invading the Desolate Ancient Continent, slaughtering the Human Race, and plundering resources.

But he did not care!

All he cared about was his own strength!

The Taiyin Spirit Body, the Great Emperors Inheritance, the power of the Demon Race!

As long as these things could make him a Great Emperor, what did it matter to him whether the Human Race was destroyed or not?

This was also the reason why he joined the Demon Race!

Only to obtain more powerful strength!

"Deal!" Elder Cangwu reached out and took the black bead.

Immediately after, a strange force surged into his body.

His spiritual power began to boil, and his blood began to become active!

That feeling was like he was about to have a Breakthrough!

"This is only one percent of the power of the demon emperor bead. When you truly use it, you will be able to feel the complete power of a Great Emperor!"

Elder Cangwu gripped the bead tightly, a look of madness flashing in his eyes.

Great Emperor!

He had waited for thousands of years, and finally, he had waited for it!

Tianque City, Zuixian Restaurant.

When Gu Chen and the others returned to Zuixian Restaurant, it was already getting dark.

Tonight was their last night in Tianque City.

Tomorrow morning, they would set off to return to the Eastern Region!

Gu Chen ordered a table full of dishes.

Gu Qingshan ate meat in large mouthfuls, and Li Shuangxu drank wine in large gulps.

Ru Shuang sat by the window, watching the night view outside.

Gu Chen sat opposite her.

"Miss Ru." Gu Chen spoke.

"Hmm?"

"We will set off early tomorrow morning."

Ru Shuang nodded. "Okay."

Gu Chen looked at her and was silent for a moment.

"Your grandfather's matter cannot be delayed for too long."

Ru Shuang's hands tightened; she knew that Gu Chen was right.

Her grandfather's remnant soul could not last too long. A few months—it was not long, but it was not short!

Arriving at the Gu Family one day earlier meant one more shred of hope for her grandfather!

Ru Shuang said softly, "I know, thank you, Young Master Gu."

Gu Chen smiled. "You're welcome."

Ru Shuang looked at him, and an indescribable feeling surged in her heart.

This person was clearly still young himself, yet he always carried himself like an adult.

He clearly didn't know how to speak well, yet he always wanted to comfort others.

"Young Master Gu." Ru Shuang suddenly spoke.

"Hmm?"

"What kind of person is your family's Old Ancestor?"

Gu Chen thought for a moment. "A very formidable person."

Ru Shuang was stunned. "Is that all? Nothing else?"

Ru Shuang was speechless!

How could this person not even describe his own Old Ancestor?!

That was his own Old Ancestor!

The strongest person!

Gu Qingshan couldn't help but interject from the side.

"Miss Ru, don't ask him; he doesn't understand anything."

Gu Chen smiled awkwardly.

"Our Old Ancestor is a figure like an immortal."

Gu Qingshan put down his wine cup, perking up.

"Let me tell you, our Old Ancestor was in seclusion for five hundred years. As soon as he came out, he destroyed the Tianming Sect, then destroyed the Zixiao Sacred Land, and then destroyed the two great sacred lands of Yuheng and Tianxuan!"

"Even the three Quasi-Emperors of the Zhao family wouldn't dare to let out a fart in front of our Old Ancestor!"

"And that beast tide, with three Yao Beasts of the Eternal Realm—our Old Ancestor sent two little girls riding white tigers, and they scared them off with a single word!"

"What else?" Ru Shuang couldn't help but ask for more information.

"There is much more; you will know when you go there."

Ru Shuang looked at Gu Chen.

Gu Chen did not speak; everything seemed so ordinary.

She suddenly felt a bit of anticipation.

What was that place like?

What kind of person was that Old Ancestor?
