"That's right, Gu Chen said that he forced his way back through the Chaos Path window. I can't explain it at all."
People present were talking a lot because they doubted Gu Chen's strength and what he said before became no longer credible.
Peng Fu felt happy when he saw this. If you plot against me, no one will have a good time today!
Gu Chen didn't expect that Peng Fu's nonsense and Huanyang Hou's deliberate slander would make him the target of public criticism.
The final analysis of this matter is that everyone thinks that his strength is not enough to come back alive!
"Master Gu brought us back safely. Can this matter be false?"
Seeing that the situation was not good for Gu Chen, Wu Li quickly stood up and spoke for him.
"Did you see with your own eyes that Fellow Daoist Gu broke through the Chaos Path Window? I'm afraid you were deceived too!"
Marquis Huanyang immediately scolded him, and Wuli didn't know how to respond.
They were brought back by Gu Chen who hid them in the Qiankun Bag. He did not witness this journey with his own eyes, and there is no guarantee that Gu Chen did not contact others during this process.
Many shadow guards also understood this truth, and their hearts swayed for a moment.
There was something fishy about Mr. Gu bringing them back, and they still can't figure out how he did it.
If he had the help of an expert like Old Xuanwu during this process, everything would seem more reasonable...
Thinking of this possibility, many shadow guards broke into cold sweats. They were afraid of getting involved with Gu Chen and didn't even dare to speak for him!
Gu Chen looked around and found that everyone was questioning him, and sighed inwardly.
Sure enough, hiding too deeply in daily life still has disadvantages.
This matter is actually easy to explain, and he is not worried at all.
When the news about the longevity world comes, Peng Fu and Huanyang Hou's sinister speculations will be self-defeating.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, do you have anything else to explain about what Peng Fu said?"
Shaluoman looked at Gu Chen, her eyes becoming colder. She was already inclined to conclude that Gu Chen was indeed unclean.
"There's nothing to explain, just wait." Gu Chen said indifferently.
"What are you waiting for?" Everyone was confused.
"When news comes from the longevity world ahead, I believe everything will be finalized." Gu Chen said calmly.
Huanyang Hou's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Gu Chen acted too calmly. Could it be that he really got through Lei County's blockade by his own ability?
Peng Fu also had his pupils contracted. He was just slandering indiscriminately. The longer the matter dragged on, the easier it would be for the truth to come out.
"He may be stalling for time and trying to pull off some conspiracy. You should take him down first!"
Peng Fu hurriedly said that he wanted to convict Gu Chen of death, but even if he was not sentenced to death, it would be better to make him sick!
The Marquis of Huanyang was already at odds with Gu Chen anyway, so he was not polite at this time and respectfully said to Shaluoman again. "Friend Shaluoman, for the sake of safety, it is recommended that you search Gu Daoyou first and then imprison him to avoid accidents."
!”
Ouyang Mo frowned and stood up, objecting. "Young Daoist Gu is also a general of heavenly punishment. If everything he said is true and he has merit, how can he act like this? Since you can know the answer by waiting, why bother?
Are you friendly?"
The Marquis of Huanyang and Ouyang Mo each held their own opinions, while the envoys from other counties present were smiling and watching the show. This matter had nothing to do with them, and they were happy to watch the internal fighting in the Xing County.
"That's enough, what's the fuss about?" Saraman interrupted the argument impatiently.
For her, the choice is actually very simple.
No matter whether Gu Chen is really clean or not, since there is that suspicion, for the sake of safety, naturally he should be taken down first.
If he is proven innocent by then, the worst thing he can do is give him some compensation.
As for whether the other party would have a grudge against her because of this, she didn't care at all.
As the leader of Tianying, she holds a high position and is strong enough. She never cares about other people's feelings!
"Fellow Daoist Gu, I want to search you. Please cooperate." Shaluoman spoke to Gu Chen, with a hint of bossiness in her words.
She made the final decision, obviously siding with Huanyang Hou, making Huanyang Hou smile with success.
Regardless of whether Gu Chen is innocent or not, if he is searched like this, he will lose all face.
Gu Chen didn't expect that Shaluoman was not even willing to wait for the news, and his face turned completely cold!
It was impossible for him to let the other party search him. After all, he had too many secrets that might be exposed.
Moreover, he led Xingjun's troops to fight all the way back. He was a meritorious person, but he had to be humiliated in vain. How could it make sense?
Gu Chen had always known that his status as the Heavenly Punishment General was not taken seriously by others, but he never expected that he would be ignored to this extent!
"Fellow Taoist Master, Gu has done nothing wrong. It is impossible to search my body! After all, I am also the punishment general of Xing County. If you want to abuse lynching, please come, your lord!"
Gu Chen said coldly.
"You mean, I'm not qualified to search you?" Shaluoman frowned, but she didn't expect Gu Chen to dare to refuse her.
The more he refused, the more suspicious he looked to her.
"I have given you enough face before, and face is given to each other." Gu Chen said indifferently.
A flash of anger flashed in Shaluoman's eyes. She could not give others face, but others had to give it.
Envoys from other counties were here, how could she allow Gu Chen to deny her authority?
"In fact, instead of waiting for news from the longevity world, there is an easier way to prove Gu Daoyou's innocence." She sneered.
"Oh? What is it?" Gu Chen narrowed his eyes.
"If Fellow Daoist Gu really has the ability to break through Lei County's blockade, I believe he has the ability to survive under my hand for a few rounds."
After Shaluoman finished speaking, she suddenly raised her hand and took action!
When she raised her hand, the surrounding void fluctuated like ripples. Gu Chen found that everyone quickly moved away from him in this moment!
At the same time, layers of strange gauze were flying around him. They seemed light and fluttery, but they seemed to be wrapped in countless layers of space and were suppressing him!
Gu Chen's pupils shrank, what kind of Taoist technique was this?
He reacted very quickly, flipped the palm of his left hand, a black vortex appeared, and slapped forward hard!
boom--
The black hole released a fierce attraction, entangled and collided with the layers of gauze, and the space suddenly collapsed!
Shaluoman's face changed slightly, and she stepped back a few steps. The tent where everyone was staying was affected and destroyed, and the dust rolled up like a dragon!
Shaluoman escaped from the dust and saw Gu Chenling standing above the fortress, looking down at her.
"Since fellow Taoist priest wants to have some fun, Gu will accompany me."
Gu Chen's smile was extremely cold!
If a tiger doesn't show off its power, it will easily be regarded as a sick cat.
He had endured it for too long in Xing County and was almost being treated as a soft persimmon by everyone.
No matter what, he was planning to change his strategy when he returned to Xing County this time, so he used Shaluoman, the head of the Sky Shadow, to establish his authority and test the bottom line of Xing Dao Lord!
