Hearing the footsteps, Gu Yingying turned her head and shouted by instinct, "Didn't I tell you not to let anyone in?!"
She was stunned as soon as she finished speaking.
She was not the only one. Even Old Master Gu and Gu Shaokun, who turned their heads, were shocked.
"M-Mr. Ye!"
Gu Shaokun felt like his scalp was going to explode when he saw who it was. He was so shocked that he almost fainted.
"Ms. Gu, you're so arrogant!"
Ye Chen ignored everyone's gaze and sat on the couch slowly. He poured himself a cup of tea and said after tasting it, "Even I can't enter your Gu residence now."
"Mr. Ye, that's not what I meant …" Gu Yingying's pretty face changed. She wanted to explain.
"Stop talking!"
Ye Chen put the teacup down hard and interrupted her. He lifted his head to look at Old Master Gu, "Old Master, someone's right. I've always respected you!
Because you're China's hero. Without someone like you who shed blood, China wouldn't be where it is today! "
Old Master Gu's body shook slightly upon hearing that.
"I'll always respect you. However, today is the last time I'll visit your Gu residence. From now on, I'll have nothing to do with the Gu family.
That's all I have to say. Take care! "
Ye Chen walked out in big steps after saying that. He did not even turn his head. He did not even look at Gu Shaokun throughout the entire process.
"Mr. Ye let me go. He let me go!" Gu Shaokun could not help but cry tears of joy.
However, Gu Yingying, who was standing aside, had despair written all over her face.
"I was wrong, I was wrong …"
Old Master Gu closed his eyes bitterly and spoke with difficulty. The old man's hands on the wheelchair could not stop shaking.
The old man waved at Gu Shaokun lightly, "Come here."
The latter knelt before him and held his hand tightly, "Grandpa, I know I was wrong. I'll definitely change in the future …"
"Your parents passed away early!"
The old man stretched out a hand and touched his face. He sighed and smiled, "You've been with me since you were eight months old. I was the one who raised you. It's my fault that I've been too lenient with you, causing you to commit such a terrible mistake today."
"Grandpa …" Gu Yingying begged.
"Who doesn't make mistakes in life?"
The old man muttered to himself, "Some mistakes can be corrected after they are made, but once they are made, they must pay a certain price. This is a matter of the bottom line and righteousness."
Gu Shaokun's expression changed slightly. He seemed to have realized something and struggled to escape. However, he found that the old man's hand was firmly restraining him.
"Rest assured and go. As for Ping 'er, I will educate him well. In the future, I will arrange for him to join the army and repay your debt!"
After saying that, the old man gently pressed his hand on the former's head.
"Plop …"
A cold corpse fell heavily to the ground.
On the same day, the wealthy Gu family of Tiannan announced their dissolution, and all of their wealth was handed over to the national treasury. Old Man Gu, who was only in his seventies, ignored the dissuasion of his old subordinates and returned to the coastal frontline.
A real man should defend his country with his life!
This was a debt he owed to the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who had died because of Gu Shaokun, and also a form of punishment for himself!
…
That afternoon, Bayu, Fengdu North County.
An armed helicopter slowly landed less than five kilometers away from Fengdu Ghost City. Someone went forward to welcome him immediately.
After Ye Chen walked out of the helicopter, a middle-aged man walked up and said, "Greetings, Heavenly King Ye!"
"How's the situation in Fengdu now?"
After Ye Chen landed on the ground, he lifted his eyes and looked into the distance. What he saw was a black fog that looked like a terrifying beast standing there.
"At around two in the afternoon, a heavy fog appeared in Fengdu, and some passengers disappeared. In less than three hours, the fog has already covered a radius of five kilometers around Fengdu!"
Wen Zhen said quickly.
Ye Chen frowned, "Are there any casualties?"
"Yes!"
Wen Zhen said with lingering fear, "A few of our soldiers rushed into the fog to search for passengers, but they didn't return. A few others were instantly devoured by the fog."
"Who are they?" The Patriarch of Hell pointed at the crowd at the edge of the fog.
Wen Zhen said, "They are all mutants and cultivators. We really couldn't stop them, so we could only let them go."
"Stay where you are and wait for orders from the higher-ups. We'll go and investigate!"
After saying that, Ye Chen led the patriarch and the rest toward the fog.
Along the way, they saw many groups of mutants or people from the cultivation world. There was no lack of supreme giants and almighties among them.
The Patriarch of Hell said thoughtfully, "Fellow Ye, why do you think there's a sudden change in Fengdu? Could it be that it's really like the legends in China, that this is the land that leads to the Death World? "
Although he was not from Earth, he had been on Earth for some time, so he naturally knew more about this.
"That shouldn't be possible!"
Ye Chen shook his head lightly, "If there's an underworld, doesn't that mean there's also the Heavenly Court and the Western Paradise?"
"That's true!"
The patriarch smiled in shock, "Earth is just a Lesser Chiliocosm after all. Even a Greater Chiliocosm like the Spirit Realm doesn't have immortals."
At this moment, an old man with a powerful aura looked around and said, "Everyone, have any of you entered the fog to investigate?"
"A few batches have gone in long ago!"
A mutant in silver armor could not help but say, "However, no one has ever come out. Moreover, I realized that this fog is very strange. It seems to be able to devour the flesh and blood of living people."
"That's not all!"
Another person said with a fearful expression, "The deeper you go into the fog, the stranger it gets. I once saw a level-9 mutant turn into a skeleton after entering less than 30 meters into the fog."
The crowd burst into an uproar.
Some of the people who had just arrived and were about to go in to investigate felt their hair stand on end, and they instantly gave up on that thought.
Even a level-9 mutant could not withstand the fog!
They would die if they went in!
Ye Chen suddenly stopped when he was less than 30 meters away from the fog. There was a gleam in his eyes as he looked at the fog.
It was because he realized that the black fog before him was almost identical to the black fog outside the ghost ship.
Thinking to this point, he could not help but frown, "Strange, why would the fog outside the ghost ship appear here?"
At that moment, a commotion suddenly came from behind the crowd. There was a faint and orderly sound of horse hooves.
Ye Chen turned around to take a look.
A group of carriages rushed over from afar. It was a carriage pulled by nine warhorses, and a man in a black dragon robe sat on the carriage.
The man's face was dignified without being angry, like an ancient emperor on a patrol. Around the carriage were four armored men with monstrous murderous auras.
"It's him!"
Ye Chen's eyes narrowed.

(PS: I've finished updating the third chapter today. I can resume updating the fourth chapter tomorrow. As for the chapters that I've missed, I'll try my best to make them up later. This book is almost at the thousandth chapter. Brothers, although my occasional updates aren't very reliable, I've still stumbled to this point. I'm not the kind of person who will stop writing and leave it unfinished.)
