As soon as I stepped into Xuannv Palace, it was as expected from what Tian Bing said. All the people outside had returned, making Xuannv Palace extremely crowded.
Not only well-trained heavenly soldiers gathered here in large numbers, but also many affiliated forces of the ancient heaven were also present, and there was a buzz of people everywhere.
Gu Chen went back to his residence first, and met many heavenly soldiers along the way. When they recognized him, their expressions became a little strange.
"There is something wrong with the situation. Whether it is the heavenly soldiers who were interrogating you earlier or other people you met along the way, their expressions on your face are not normal."
Tangning noticed something unusual and reminded Gu Chendao.
"Just ask and you'll find out."
Gu Chen naturally felt it too. The eyes of those people looking at him seemed to have a kind of contradiction, which was very confusing.
Soon Gu Chen returned to his residence. As soon as he entered, he found many people gathered in the hall.
Not only Jiang Baiming, Bai Yuan and other companions are here, but the old patriarch of the Barbarian tribe, Long Yun and You Xian of the Mirage tribe are also back.
They gathered together and seemed to be discussing something.
As soon as Gu Chen came back, their expressions brightened up.
"Second brother, you are finally back."
"If you don't come back, we won't know what to do."
Gu Chen looked at the crowd, remembering the strangeness of the heavenly soldiers he saw on the road earlier, and his face became solemn. "What happened?"
Everyone looked at each other in shock, and then looked at the old leader of the barbarian tribe, and decided to let him talk about this matter.
"Gu Xiaoyou, the location of Xuannv Palace has been exposed, and all the heavenly soldiers and generals who were out are back. Half a day before you came back, a meeting was just held, and it ended on bad terms."
The old patriarch said that as General Mantian, he participated in that meeting, so he had a very clear view of the situation.
Gu Chen immediately smelled something wrong in these words.
At present, the meeting of the Ancient Heavenly Court can only be held to resolve a life-and-death crisis. Logically speaking, this kind of matter should be united as one, so why would it end on bad terms?
"What was discussed in the meeting? Does it have to do with me?" Gu Chen narrowed his eyes.
The old patriarch nodded, his face becoming very gloomy.
"Originally, we sent out various troops to disrupt the enemy's army. Logically speaking, it should take six or seven days for the enemy to discover the true location of Xuannv Palace."
"But I didn't expect that the enemy sent an envoy two days ago and came outside Xuannv Palace!"
Gu Chen's heart trembled. The fact that the envoy came to Xuannv Palace meant that the enemy knew the location very well and had even investigated it carefully.
But since they discovered the location, why didn't they just launch a sneak attack instead of sending an envoy?
You must know that they had used sneak attacks before, which had seriously damaged the vitality of Gutianting. There was no need to send any envoys.
Sending an envoy will only give Gu Tianting more time to prepare.
"The envoy claimed to represent the Golden Tribe and the Pupil Tribe and made a request to our Ancient Heavenly Court. He said that as long as the Ancient Heavenly Court hands over the Overlord, the Golden Tribe and the Pupil Tribe will withdraw their troops and stop cooperating with outsiders."
The old patriarch's words were shocking. When Gu Chen and Tang Ning heard this, they immediately understood why those heavenly soldiers looked at Gu Chen so strangely.
He actually made such a request!
The Golden Clan and the Tong Clan are the first-class forces in the God Realm and are the mainstays of the coalition forces under the Young Supremes. If they really withdraw their troops, then half of the crisis in Ancient Heaven will be solved!
Gu Chen understood why the ancient Heavenly Court meeting broke up unhappy. It seemed that someone in Heavenly Court was tempted and tried to hand him over!
"His uncle, we came here to help with good intentions, but there are still people who want to sacrifice Gu Chen in exchange for a chance of survival. What a sissy! What kind of bullshit general, bah!"
Ryoma said angrily, White Ape and Green Ox were also filled with indignation.
Just before Gu Chen came back, a large group of people were discussing this matter.
Gu Chen realized that it was related to him, but he was not too angry and asked calmly.
"It's understandable that the Golden Clan wants my life. After all, I killed their clan leader with a knife in the God Realm. But what's going on with the Tong Clan? Do they also have a deep grudge against me?"
The old patriarch immediately said, "The Tong clan said that you killed their clan's genius Yu Wenbo. This is an irreconcilable hatred and must be avenged."
When Gu Chen heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank, and the face of Tang Ning next to him also became extremely ugly.
Fang asked!
A name popped up in their minds at the same time, and they realized what was going on.
Yu Wenbo was killed by Fang Wen's curse from the air, but the Tong clan said that he died at the hands of Gu Chen. This was obviously Fang Wen's mischief.
Fang Wen asked the Golden Clan and the Tong Clan to point the finger at Gu Chen, indicating that he had figured out Gu Chen's identity and knew that Tang Ning was acting with him!
What Gu Chen was most worried about happened. This man's divination ability was so great that Yu Wenbo didn't mention him at all when he contacted him, but he guessed his existence!
Gu Chen's eyes flickered for a moment as he analyzed the whole thing.
"As long as Gu Chen's Golden Clan and Tong Clan are handed over, the troops will be withdrawn? Even children won't believe this. Are all your ancient generals idiots?"
While everyone was discussing, Long Ma spoke unkindly to the old patriarch and You Xian.
In its opinion, this is simply the behavior of a white-eyed wolf, no, it should be said to be a white-eyed pig, because wolves are not so stupid as to believe what the Golden Tribe and the Eye Tribe say.
What Long Ma said didn't sound good, but the old patriarch and You Xian felt that they were ashamed of Gu Chen, so they didn't fight back and sighed.
"Originally, some people in Gu Tianting did not trust Gu Xiaoyou and felt that his position was wrong. In addition, Gu Xiaoyou brought back the Desolate God Clan who had many conflicts with many people in Gu Tianting, and said that he wanted them to join Gu Tianting, which made some people even more confused.
Disgusted."
"At present, several young supremes from outside the world are too strong. Some people in the ancient heaven are not confident in winning this war, so they wavered under the conditions of the envoy."
"Adou is really helpless! Gu Chen, we'd better leave Gutianting and let them fend for themselves."
After hearing this explanation, Long Ma was still dissatisfied and said to Gu Chen.
"Yes, Master, we are here to help. Even if they don't let us help, they still want to hand you over. It's really abominable."
Qingniu continued, it is rare for it to breathe through the same nostril as the dragon and horse.
Jiang Baiming looked at Gu Chen silently. The thoughts of some people in Gu Tianting really chilled him, but leaving like this was too frustrating.
Gu Chen thought about the whole thing. He didn't care about the stupid thoughts of some people in the ancient heaven, because he already knew that there were such guys everywhere.
What he really cares about is Fang Wen, who is planning all this behind the scenes. This is obviously his plan. What is the purpose of the other party's doing this?
"Fang Wen has already taken action. He calculated the location of Xuannv Palace. He also instigated the Tong Clan and the Gold Clan."
"His purpose for doing this is very simple. He wants to drive a wedge between us and Gu Tianting, but his tactics are quite insidious."
Tang Ning next to Gu Chen sneered, and then everyone noticed him.
"Who are you? Since when did you join us?"
Ryoma said in confusion, he had no impression of this man wearing a mask.
At first it thought it was someone from Gu Tianting, but judging by the tone of his voice, it seemed like he was a new partner.
