God of Pets

Chapter 446 Another Half of the Inner Core

“Something’s not right. The Spirit King’s ship wasn’t far from the coast just now. It’s only been ten minutes or so. How come we can’t see the coastline anymore?” Chen Guan frowned and looked at Teng.

Because of the round stools, ghosts that had sensed the presence of living people were flying around the Spirit King's ship, but none of them dared to board.

Teng smiled bitterly, "The previous times I sailed in the Nether Sea, I was in a state of suspended animation throughout the entire process. When I woke up, I was already in the Fengdu Mountain Secret Realm. I have no idea how I sailed in between."

With a thought, Chen Guan released his Desert Eagle pet, then leaped up, stood on the Desert Eagle's back, and sent it flying into the sky.

He looked around from the air and found that all he could see was an endless sea, with no islands or land in sight.

"This sea is strange!" Chen Guan thought to himself.

"Help!" came Teng's cries from below.

Chen Guan looked down and saw that the ghosts were rushing towards the vines on the boat from all directions, leaving the vines no room to escape.

Each of her secret techniques could only penetrate You's body and did not cause any harm.

Chen Guan didn't have time to fly down; he grabbed the round stool and threw it down.

The round stool emitted golden light, instantly dissolving some of the ghosts into nothingness. Other ghosts quickly fled to a distance, but unwillingly lingered around the Spirit King's ship.

Some of the ghosts rushed towards Chen Guan in the air.

Without the intimidation of the round stool, they were not afraid of Chen Guan.

Chen Guan was prepared; he wouldn't have thrown the stool to save Teng if he wasn't confident.

With a thought, Chen Guan conjured a paper figure in his palm and pointed it at the ghosts.

The ghosts scattered and fled in an instant, giving the paper figures no chance to make a move.

"I was hoping to see the paper doll make a move, but these ghosts are really too weak." Chen Guan had already expected that the paper doll could deal with these ghosts. It possessed the secret treasure of the Netherworld Emperor, and ordinary ghosts were no match for it.

He just hadn't expected that You was more useless than he had imagined.

With the appearance of the paper figures, those who were initially intimidated by the round stools and dared not board the ship, but were unwilling to leave, now fled like stray dogs, one by one, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"The paper doll is pretty strong, even more useful than the stool that the Emperor once sat on," Chen Guan thought to himself, but he missed the chance to watch the paper doll fight again.

Chen Guan landed on the boat, and Teng looked at him with a complicated expression.

She didn't see the paper figure in Chen Guan's palm, and assumed that Chen Guan had used some secret method to subdue those ghosts, which made her even more suspicious.

The Eighth King said that the You in the Nether Sea are different from the You in other places. They rely on the power of the Nether Sea and are almost fearless of any power. Even if the Mysterious God comes, it is difficult to make the You retreat.

Even the Eighth King himself, without a shell, could only feign death.

It's hard to imagine what kind of power this person possessed to be able to frighten away You.

"What kind of gambling game did the Eighth King ask you to preside over?" Chen Guan knew that it would probably be difficult for him to return to the previous coast.

However, this is not necessarily a bad thing, because when leaving the Beiman Mountain Secret Realm, they need to go through the Heavenly Court Army's inspection. The fake identity that Chen Guan created has no entry record, which will cause some trouble.

Now you can leave the Beimangshan Secret Realm from here and head to the Pingdushan Secret Realm.

Pingdu Mountain Secret Realm is a public secret realm, and the checks aren't as strict. He could leave safely and then re-enter Beiman Mountain Secret Realm, so no one would suspect that he was Chen Guan. Of course, this was a last resort.

"The king made a bet with a man named Shang Qingtian. If he lost, he had to give Shang Qingtian something; if he won, Shang Qingtian would have to help deliver a letter," Teng said.

"What is it?" Chen Guan thought to himself, "Could it be that the Eighth King took the other half of the Secret Divine Inner Core and made a bet with Shang Qingtian?"

Teng hesitated for a while and remained silent.

“You should know that only I can get you to the Pingdu Mountain Secret Realm alive right now, right?” Chen Guan said.

Teng said helplessly, "But if I can't finish the bet and I lose the item, the king won't let me off the hook. I'll be eaten by him."

“You can think about it another way. If you die, won’t the stuff still end up in my hands anyway? If you hand it over to me now, you won’t have to die, and you can stay with me from now on and won’t be coerced by the Eighth Prince anymore,” Chen Guan shamelessly helped Teng analyze.

“I also want to live, but we lost to all of the Eight Kings, including myself and these crew members. We all have death contracts attached to us. No matter where we are in the world, the Eight Kings can decide our life or death with a single thought. There is no way we can escape,” Teng said.

"Okay, let me see what it is first," Chen Guan said expressionlessly.

Teng's expression shifted constantly. Thinking that it was better to die later than sooner, he gritted his teeth and took out a sachet from his body.

If Chen Guan were to search for it, he would only assume it was a woman's item and would never suspect that such an important thing was hidden inside.

Teng opened the sachet and poured out the medicinal herbs inside, revealing half of an inner core that looked like a pearl.

Chen Guan's eyes lit up: "Isn't this the other half of the Mystic God Inner Core?"

Chen Guan reached out to take the half of the inner core. Teng subconsciously withdrew her hand, but under Chen Guan's gaze, she ultimately did not stop him and let Chen Guan take the inner core.

"That bastard Eighth King never intended to give me the other half of the inner core. He's just trying to use this half to lure someone else, playing a double insurance game..." Chen Guan sneered inwardly.

"Don't worry, I will go with you to see the Eighth King. I will talk to him about the inner core." Chen Guan said to Teng after taking the inner core.

"Without this half of the inner core, I have no way to complete the bet with Shang Qingtian, and the Eighth King will not let me go," Teng said helplessly.

"What are the Eight Kings and Shang Qingtian betting on?" Chen Guan asked after thinking for a moment.

"I'll bet you I can catch Shang Qingtian's self-created secret technique, the Peak of Love," Teng said.

"Can you catch it?" Chen Guan asked.

“Theoretically, there shouldn’t be any problem. My strength is decent,” Teng said.

Chen Guan sized up Teng. Her strength was indeed impressive. She was able to withstand a level 39 Purple Qi Coming from the East, which was something that ordinary third-awakening cultivators could not do.

Teng's own strength is definitely top-tier at the third awakening level.

However, Chen Guan had also heard of the "Master of Love" technique. It was a compound technique created by Shang Qingtian, and it was said to be a strange and wonderful technique. Anyone who had seen Shang Qingtian use it, even if they survived, would become mentally impaired and no different from a dead person.

"Are you sure?" Chen Guan asked again.

Teng was somewhat annoyed. She also had her pride and said coldly, "Although my strength is not as good as yours, I was once a powerful figure, and my Red Dust Palm was invincible throughout the blessed land."

"Red Dust Palm...you are Teng Mingli, the former beauty queen of the Heavenly Court Army..." Chen Guan looked at Teng in disbelief.
