Only he could understand the meaning of what Gu Xuanchen said just now!
Back then, he also entered the core of the Holy River and made a hundred-year bet, but he was only one step away from success and had no choice but to sign the Holy River Contract.
But he also has his own ideas!
Things like the Holy River Contract will only be valid if you see the Holy River Golden Order.
So he hid in the Demon Clan, and from beginning to end he never mentioned his name to anyone.
In this way, the chance of being found by the Lord of the Holy River will be very slim, and as long as I break through to the Tianyuan realm before he finds me, the Holy River contract on my body will be automatically dissolved.
It's a pity that with the help of the City of Peace over the years, he has also obtained a lot of Tianyuan branches, but he still cannot take the last critical step and has never been able to reach the Tianyuan realm.
But this seemingly young demon clan in front of him could actually reveal his origins in just one sentence. How could this not surprise him?
You know, this is the first time in these ten thousand years that someone has spoken out about his origins.
Gu Xuanchen smiled slightly and formed a strange-looking seal on his right hand.
The city lord's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately waved his hand and said, "Afu, take her out first!"
"City Lord..." Uncle Fu also didn't expect that the City Lord would really listen to this little demon.
"Go out..." However, before he could finish his words, he was directly interrupted by the city lord.
Uncle Fu could only nodded slightly and walked out with Jade Green Fox.
After the two people left, the city lord sighed softly, as if he had aged many years, "Will the Lord of the Holy River be a demon clan?"
Although he had already guessed Gu Xuanchen's identity, the city lord still couldn't believe it.
Gu Xuanchen smiled slightly, his aura calmed down, and he returned to his human appearance.
"You..." The city lord's eyes reappeared in shock.
He didn't expect that Gu Xuanchen was actually a human being, and he was clearly only at the middle stage of the Tao realm, but he could pretend to be a monster and hide it from his own perception.
"Tell me, what do you need me to do for you!" When things got to this point, the city lord had no choice but to accept his fate.
"What do I need from you?" Gu Xuanchen was stunned.
The city lord smiled disdainfully, "Since you are the new Lord of the Holy River, you can also control my life and death. You can find me even if I hide here. If you have anything to say, just tell me!"
Gu Xuanchen smiled, "I found you? Didn't you ask me to come?"
"Didn't you join the Monster Clan because of me?" Seeing Gu Xuanchen's expression that didn't seem to be fake, the city lord said in shock.
"Of course not. Your aura is so well controlled. How could I sense it if we were face to face?" Gu Xuanchen said with a smile.
"I..." The city lord's face showed deep regret.
It turns out that he didn't know about his existence at all, but he mistakenly thought he was a member of the Demon King's lineage and called him here. Didn't he find an ancestor for himself?
Gu Xuanchen was also a little helpless, "I had other things to do when I came to the Monster Clan, but since I met you, I just asked you to help you!"
Although the city lord regretted it endlessly, facing Gu Xuanchen who could control his life and death, he could only say helplessly, "I am willing to listen to the master's orders!"
Gu Xuanchen smiled slightly, "Don't be so unwilling. When I get out of the demon clan, I will release you from the holy river contract!"
"Really...really?" The city lord suddenly became energetic!
Gu Xuanchen smiled and said, "You are already on the verge of the Tianyuan realm. If you are not bound by the power of the contract, you can still increase the possibility of breakthrough. Why should I embarrass you? You have been hiding in the Monster Clan for tens of thousands of years.
It’s difficult enough!”
Indeed, being able to practice to this extent under the yoke of the contract shows how talented the other party is.
It is clear that one has the ability to break through to the Tianyuan realm, but due to the restriction of the power of the contract, one cannot take that step. How sad is this?
In the previous life, the dantian was sealed for more than 20,000 years, and Gu Xuanchen had a deep understanding of it. This can be considered a kind of resonance.
"Why should I believe you?" However, the city lord immediately shook his head.
After all, if it were him, he would probably not be willing to let go just like this if he had such a thug.
"As for me, even if I give you any benefit, you have to do as I say!" Gu Xuanchen meant well, but he was not a good person.
Facing the city lord's doubts, he was no longer polite at all.
This drink also made the city owner suddenly wake up, "I was rash, please forgive me, master!"
Gu Xuanchen nodded slightly, "I can understand your feelings of being trapped by this contract for tens of thousands of years, but you have to remember this. This contract was not forced on you by anyone, but a bet that you lost back then!"
"I released it for you out of love, and it was my duty not to release it for you!"
"Yes...yes..." Although he was about to reach the Tianyuan realm, under Gu Xuanchen's kindness and power, the city lord still nodded repeatedly.
He has realized that although Gu Xuanchen seems to be of low level, he dares to break into the demon clan alone, and he also has methods that he cannot see through.
Moreover, he is the master of the holy river, so how can he be treated like an ordinary person.
Gu Xuanchen said, "I came to the Demon Clan to take away the Demon Emperor Bell. There may be some dangers involved, so since I meet you, follow me secretly and help me solve some troubles!"
Since the other party has the Holy River Contract, Gu Xuanchen has nothing to hide from him.
"Demon Emperor Bell? Who knows the whereabouts of the Demon Emperor Bell?" The city lord was also surprised.
The Demon Emperor is the top powerhouse of the Demon Clan, equivalent to the Tianyuan realm of humans.
The Demon Emperor Bell is his portable demon weapon, and there must be Demon Emperor-level rules in it.
Although the cultivation of humans and demons is different, at their level, many laws are the same. Once they can come into contact with the Demon Emperor Bell, they can understand the laws within it and be released from the contract.
The city lord suddenly felt that calling Gu Xuanchen here was an opportunity given to him by God.
"You will know then!" Gu Xuanchen did not explain too much.
"Now tell me what you know about the demon clan!" Gu Xuanchen was not in a hurry to leave now.
Although the Nine-tailed Fox Clan also provided him with a lot of information about the Monster Clan, Gu Xuanchen believed that having been the city lord of the City of Peace for tens of thousands of years, he would definitely know some things that the Nine-tailed Fox Clan did not know.
.
Once the Demon King Bell is born, it will definitely affect the entire demon clan. Naturally, it is best to improve and understand more about the situation of the demon clan.
The city lord obviously also thought about this level, and immediately slowly told Gu Xuanchen some of his understanding of the demon clan.
"Who is this prince?" Uncle Fu, who had walked into the guest hall, asked Yu Qinghu curiously.
After following the city lord for so many years, today was the first time he saw the city lord's mood fluctuate so much.
