The first thousand seven hundred and seventeen chapters
"What do you want, sir?"
When the black-robed monk heard what Gu Chen said, he seemed to have grasped the last straw, with a look of hope.
Just as Gu Chen was about to reply, a strong gust of wind came from the side.
Whoosh!
The Infinite Tyrannosaurus Rex reacted the fastest. The dragon's tail swung and with a clang, a black dagger flew out and landed on a tree trunk not far away!
"There are still people."
Gu Chen raised his eyebrows. His perception ability was greatly reduced in the Taoist world, and he was unexpectedly attacked by someone.
A pair of eyes calmly looked at the dense forest. For a while, he didn't even notice where the other party was hiding.
Zi~~~
Rolling gray mist suddenly appeared on the surface of the dagger that landed on the tree trunk, and it surged in all directions in the blink of an eye.
Wherever the gray fog passed, all the trees instantly rotted, and a strong pungent smell spread.
Gu Chen's pupils shrank, not knowing the power of the gray mist, he did not dare to take the attack rashly. He kicked the dragon's back, and the Infinite Tyrannosaurus released its claws holding the black-robed monk and fled from the place in the blink of an eye.
"They are here to kill and silence me! Don't leave me!"
The black-robed monk was so frightened that he tried to get up and escape, but he was still a step too slow. He was instantly drowned by the gray mist, and a scream came from inside.
Gu Chen escaped from the gray fog in time, and when he heard the screams behind him, his face became uncertain.
Not sure if the man in the dark would take action again, he didn't dare to be careless. He stood in the dense forest with one man and one dragon, looking around coldly.
After a while, the companions arrived one after another, followed closely by the Tang family siblings.
The gray fog in the forest also dissipated, leaving behind a field of ashes.
"Where are the people?"
The companions looked at Gu Chen in surprise. The leader had taken action. The insect cultivator who secretly attacked could not still be alive.
Gu Chen didn't say anything, walked into the ashes area, and soon saw the body of the black-robed monk.
The man's flesh and blood was completely corroded by the gray mist, leaving only a pool of blood and tattered clothes.
Without Gu Chen's need to say anything, Mr. Xiao stepped forward, carefully groped inside the other party's robe, and quickly found a token.
He then took off the storage ring and Qiankun bag that were left on the other party, walked back, and handed them to Gu Chen along with the token.
Gu Chen just took the token, scanned it, and found that there were unfamiliar runes and patterns on it.
The Tang siblings also noticed the corpse on the ground, and Tang Gaolan couldn't help but glance at the token in Gu Chen's hand.
Seeing this, her expression changed drastically and she lost her voice. "The token of Wuwang Pavilion? Is this person the killer of Wuwang Pavilion?"
Everyone couldn't help but look at her. Gu Chen threw the token to her and said in a deep voice, "Who is Wuwang Pavilion?"
He originally thought that the person who had secretly attacked him just now was coming for him, but after the death of the insect cultivator on the ground, Gu Chen quickly realized that the other party actually just wanted to kill people and silence them.
After Chong Xiu's death, he did not encounter any more attacks, and the man in the dark quietly left, which further proves this point.
Chong Xiu obviously came for the Tang siblings, and Tang Gaolan probably guessed that there would be an attack on the road from the beginning.
Gu Chen was too lazy to care about this woman's intention of taking advantage of them, but the identity of the person in the dark must be found out to avoid trouble in the future, but they didn't even know who the enemy was.
"Wuwang Pavilion is a well-known killer organization in the Dasheng Dynasty. Only their killers will carry this token with them."
Tang Gaolan had a serious look on his face. He turned the token over and looked at it carefully. His expression suddenly relaxed a lot. "Fortunately, this is an apprentice token. I'm afraid the guy who died was not the official killer of Wuwang Pavilion."
"Okay? You may not know that I wasn't the one who killed him. Someone just took action secretly." Gu Chen said coldly.
"Brother Chen, didn't you kill him?"
Tang Gaolan thought that the tragic scene in front of her was caused by Gu Chen, and she was secretly wary of his ruthlessness. When she heard this, her expression became stern.
"That's right. This person should be carrying out the assessment tasks arranged by Wuwang Pavilion. It is normal for people from Wuwang Pavilion to secretly monitor him."
"Wuwang Pavilion is a killer organization that attaches great importance to confidentiality. This person failed in his mission. In order to prevent him from revealing the information about Wuwang Pavilion, it is normal to kill him."
Tang Gaolan's eyes flickered, and there was something left unsaid in his heart.
If she wanted to hire the official killer of Wuwang Pavilion, the price would be extremely high. As far as she knew, her enemies of the Tang family couldn't afford it.
It's not that I can't afford it at all, but the price that needs to be paid is too high. For the sake of the two siblings, there is no need at all.
The killer apprentice is different. Because it is not a formal establishment of Wuwang Pavilion, there is no guarantee that the task will be completed, so the price is much lower.
However, even though he was just an apprentice, the dead insect cultivator could actually control so many Butterfly Rakshasa. This strength was quite astonishing.
Wuwang Pavilion is Wuwang Pavilion, and even the killer apprentice's strength is not simple. Fortunately, she suddenly thought of inviting this group of people to accompany her on the way, otherwise today would have been a disaster!
The more Tang Gaolan thought about it, the more he became frightened.
"So we're in trouble. The next killer won't be coming all the way, right?"
Feng Yaya's pretty face turned cold. At this point, she still didn't understand how she was being used by Tang Gaolan.
The other companions also looked at the siblings with cold eyes. They were so daring that they dared to use them as guns.
"No, it won't happen. This is just a killer apprentice. Wuwang Pavilion has not given any promise to the sponsor and will not mobilize troops for this."
"To put it bluntly, Wuwang Pavilion is open for business and will not engage in loss-making business."
Tang Gaolan noticed a hint of murderous intent, felt a chill in his heart, and hurriedly explained.
Judging from the previous actions, she still didn't understand that the strength of this group of casual cultivators was much stronger than she imagined, and they couldn't afford to offend them!
"How do you know they will lose money?" Gu Chen teased.
Tang Gaolan's heart skipped a beat, knowing that his previous thoughts had been completely seen through.
She sighed, not daring to lie anymore, and said truthfully: "I probably know who hired Wuwangge. He was an enemy of my Tang family. With their strength, they cannot afford to hire Wuwangge's official killer."
."
"Sister..." Tang Jianqing looked at his sister in surprise. He didn't know about this matter.
"I see, I won't argue with you about this matter, but I won't return those Yalongs to you either."
Gu Chen glanced at her coldly and said bluntly.
Tang Gaolan took advantage of them, but also provided them with some conveniences. Gu Chen was a person with clear grudges. Accepting a useful Yalong would mean that they were clear of each other.
As for whether there would be killers coming later, he didn't want to care and decided to part ways with this group of people.
"Brother Chen and all of you have helped us a lot. It's a life-saving grace. What do a few dragons mean?"
Tang Gaolan quickly replied that this was what he said from the bottom of his heart, but Gu Chen obviously did not intend to ask for her consent, so he turned around and left after speaking.
