Chapter 1282: Chapter 239: The Demon Genius from the Last Era_2

A thousand-year sacred medicine in exchange for a piece of information, the price was indeed steep.

However, when one thought about it, dealing with the Vault of Heaven Fairy Gold, exchanging it for a thousand-year sacred medicine didn’t seem so extraordinary.

After a moment of thought, Gu Chen nodded slightly, agreeing to the deal.

After all, having acquired the storage treasures of the people from Ten Thousand Stars Palace and Unrestrained Sect, Gu Chen was truly wealthy.

Even though Qi Ling’s accumulations had been used up, the contents inside the treasures of the others added up to a considerable fortune.

Moreover, to Gu Chen, the thousand-year sacred medicine was of little use to him now.

So, he flipped his hand and took out a strand of thousand-year sacred medicine gold leaf vine and handed it over.

"Now, can you tell me?" Gu Chen looked at the shady man.

"Oh?" Seeing that Gu Chen had actually taken out a thousand-year sacred medicine, a flash of light appeared in the shady man’s eyes.

Then, after giving Gu Chen a glance, he directly took the gold leaf vine.

"And the information?" Gu Chen asked with a frown.

The shady man looked at him and said somewhat coldly, "Three thousand li outside the City of Light, there’s a valley where the Vault of Heaven Fairy Gold and spirit treasures are located. Many people are already gearing up and heading there. I’ll be setting off shortly as well."

After saying this, the man closed his mouth; that statement alone was worth a thousand-year sacred medicine.

"I hope you’re not lying to me." Gu Chen looked at him intently, then turned and walked away.

After watching Gu Chen leave, the shady man’s lips curled up in a cold smile, murmuring, "Another lamb."

"You guys, can take action now." Then, he shifted his gaze and looked at the other nearby informants.

Clearly, these people were cooperating here to fish, aiming to rob beings as relatively rich as Gu Chen.

"Hehehe, another fool has taken the bait." The few stallholders scoffed mockingly, "As if the Vault of Heaven Fairy Gold is that easy to obtain?"

Following this, the group tailed Gu Chen, each using their supposedly clever techniques to conceal themselves, thinking they would not be detected.

According to the information provided by the shady man, Gu Chen quickly left the town and arrived at a desolate mountain area and then stopped.

"Why isn’t he moving?" In hiding, the tailing cultivators frowned.

"It seems, his perception is quite sharp; he’s discovered us." One of them said, and then they deliberately revealed themselves.

The group consisted of eight individuals, all of whom possessed impressive cultivation and had reached the Unity Realm. At this moment, they all looked at Gu Chen with ill intentions.

"But Gu Chen’s gaze shifted, his expression remaining utterly calm, causing a chill in their hearts.

"Are you from the top fifty clans of the upper realms?" Gu Chen, possessing the Heavenly Eye, easily saw through these people’s true origins, all of whom were not from the Human Clan.

"Correct, and since you know, hand over all your valuables and kneel to beg for mercy. If we are in a good mood, we might even let you live and let you go unharmed."

One of the Unity Realm cultivators sneered.

"So, was the information given earlier all fake?" Gu Chen asked calmly.

"Not entirely fake. The Vault of Heaven Fairy Gold is indeed in that valley; it just hasn’t emerged yet." Another person said.

"I see." Gu Chen nodded.

As for the group before him, although they were from one of the top fifty powerful clans of the upper realms, desperate to break through their current cultivation levels, they had resorted to this scheme.

Clearly, during this time, their combined efforts had also robbed many people, and with a number of successful cases, they naturally became addicted.

"Since that’s the case, there’s no need to keep you all around," Gu Chen said softly.

"How arrogant!"

"Do you really think you can backstab us? You’re nothing!" they rebuked, eight people joining forces, utterly confident in themselves.

Since they had never seen his face, this was also where these eight dared to make a move against Gu Chen.

However, it must be said that these eight were cautious enough to join hands right from the start, unwilling to give Gu Chen the slightest chance.

"Suppress!" they shouted loudly, dazzling light shining, terrifying fluctuations of magical power surged toward him.

But, facing the full-force strike of eight top fifty powerhouses from the upper realms, Gu Chen’s response was just a light, fluttering palm strike.

"Pfft!"

The next moment, with one palm strike, those eight people immediately spat blood, then with a loud bang, their bodies exploded violently, dying in an unsightly manner.

Gu Chen’s expression remained calm, receiving the notification of credit for accomplishments, proving that those eight were indeed dead beyond doubt.

At this moment, in the City of Light, a shady man was looking quite pleased with himself, waiting for the good news to arrive.

Not far away, the other stall owners watched, each saying nothing.

The law of survival of the fittest was always the rule in the upper realms; one’s own folly if deceived, no one else could be blamed.

However, shortly after, a shadow loomed over the shady man’s stall; he looked up, thinking it was his accomplices returning.

"Why is it you?!"

But the next moment, when he realized that the person who appeared was Gu Chen, whom he thought was undoubtedly dead, the shady man suddenly turned pale with fright.

The other stall owners around were also startled, not expecting the seemingly low-level Gu Chen to be able to return alive to the City of Light.

His return here, while those eight were nowhere to be seen, already told of their fate.

"You’re actually unharmed?" The shady man was shocked, blinking continuously, thinking he had seen wrongly.

"I told you, you’d better not deceive me," Gu Chen spoke calmly, but his tone sent shivers down the spine.

The shady man’s face changed, and he hastily said, "Do you know where I come from? I am a descendant of the Moon Demon Clan; if you dare touch me, once you leave the holy realm, you are dead without a doubt!"

Known for being formidable individuals from notable powers in the upper realms, the shady man recognized their faces; not having seen Gu Chen before, he dared to deceive him.

Now that the deception failed, he could only bring out his backing, the Moon Demon Clan, hoping to make his opponent wary.

The Moon Demon Clan, while stronger than the previous eight individuals, was only slightly so and not considered important by Gu Chen.

Let it be known, he had even killed Qi Ling, the chief direct disciple of the Great Undying Dao Clan of the Ten Thousand Stars Palace; would he fear the Moon Demon Clan?

Bang!

Facing the shady man’s threat, Gu Chen did not care at all; he struck out with a palm, and the man’s body instantly exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

"What formidable power!" The onlooking crowd reacted, each inwardly startled, marveling at Gu Chen’s strength.

"Who dares to make a move within the City of Light?!" At that moment, a stern shout came, followed by several cultivators with a powerful presence appearing.

They looked proud, with very high cultivation levels, all at the Unity Realm; the strongest among them was a late-phase Unity Realm cultivator, dressed extravagantly, clearly stemming from a mighty force.

Recognizing the emblem on their clothing, Gu Chen saw that these individuals were from one of the twelve great immortal-level clans of the upper realm - the Jiuxiao Hall!
