If all of these are related, then the secrets involved are unimaginable, and it is completely shaking the foundation of the country.
And the Tang family has been forced into the whirlpool since they got involved with Chen Yi!
"Third brother, what should we do now?" Tang Xuanci was worried and uneasy. The matter was so important that he didn't know how to deal with it given his current situation.
"Now that I have been involved in right and wrong, there is no way to avoid it. I receive the salary of King Pei, and I should devote myself to King Pei!"
Tang Xuance spoke righteously, and in one sentence he already showed where the Tang family would go.
Tang Xuanci was silent, praying secretly in his heart, hoping that after this storm, the Tang family would still be around.
…
In a pawn shop with antique decoration in Peidu, Gu Chen stepped in, while the Infinity Tyrannosaurus Rex stayed outside the door.
"What does the guest want to pawn?" the shopkeeper behind the counter asked with a smile when he saw a customer coming to the door.
"I want to pawn this!"
Gu Chen casually slapped a token on the table. The pattern on the token was quite special.
As soon as the shopkeeper saw the token clearly, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared and turned cold.
"I wonder where this thing came from, sir? Are you sure you want to pawn it?" he asked coldly.
"It's none of your business where it comes from. If you pawn it, I wonder if I can redeem it later?" Gu Chen said with a half-smile.
"I'm afraid, you have to pay for it with your life. If I say so, do you still want to pawn?" The shopkeeper's eyes narrowed, and there was a faint murderous intention in his words.
Gu Chen didn't seem to notice it, and answered with a smile on his face. "Dang! I have been very poor recently. I wonder how many Dao Crystals I can get in exchange for pawn this thing?"
The shopkeeper took a deep look at Gu Chen, said a few words, then left the counter and went up to the second floor of the pawn shop.
After a while, he came down and said coldly to Gu Chen, "Sir, please!"
Gu Chen nodded, followed him up to the second floor calmly, and quickly entered a private room.
There was already a person sitting in the box at this time. This person was dressed in blue and black, with a hat and a veil on his head. It was not clear whether he was a man or a woman.
"Your Excellency, please take a seat." The man spoke, even his voice was neutral.
Gu Chen then sat across from him and took some time to examine the killer of Wuwang Pavilion in front of him.
On the way to Luomen before, he had rescued Tang Gaolan and his brother, and broke up a killing plot by a Wuwang Pavilion killer apprentice.
The assassin's apprentice was good at controlling insects. Gu Chen didn't intend to kill him directly after he captured him. Unexpectedly, the Wuwang Pavilion killer secretly killed him and ruined his situation.
That incident left a deep impression on him, and when he later met Shao Heyang in Luomen, the Tang family suspected that he was a killer from Wuwang Pavilion hired by the Shao family.
Gu Chen memorized all of this. When he killed Shao Heyang and left the dwarf old man alive, he forced him to ask him everything about Wuwang Pavilion.
The most important of these is, of course, how to get in touch with Wuwang Pavilion.
The pawn shop he is currently in is the Wuwang Pavilion's stronghold in Peidu, and it is also the largest stronghold in Pei.
For mysterious killer organizations like Wuwang Pavilion, ordinary people have no way of knowing their strongholds, but this cannot stop the Shao family, whose power is deeply rooted in Peidu.
Here, the Shao family hired a killer apprentice from Wuwang Pavilion to hunt down the Tang siblings, but Gu Chen disrupted the plan.
And Gu Chen came here with the killer apprentice's token, which was quite provocative.
"I know you, that insect cultivator." The Wuwang Pavilion killer in front of him spoke, and his words made Gu Chen a little stunned.
"Did you secretly take action that day?" Gu Chen quickly realized.
When he summoned the Sky-Swallowing Demon Butterfly and defeated the killer's apprentice's insect control technique, in the eyes of the Wuwang Pavilion killer who was secretly supervising, wasn't he just an insect cultivator?
He didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that the killer sitting here today happened to be the same one from back then!
"I spared your life that day, but I didn't expect that you would come here to die today without any good intentions." The killer spoke again, with a rather cold tone.
Gu Chen smiled when he heard this and raised the corner of his mouth. "Although you killed someone that day, if you dared to attack me, you might not be able to escape intact."
"You may look young, but your tone is quite young!" The killer snorted heavily.
"If you don't believe it, can we try fighting?"
Gu Chen's words were provocative. He was determined to test the common skills of Wuwang Pavilion killers. The one he had dealt with before was just an apprentice, not even a beginner.
"I won't do anything without reward. Tell me your true purpose." The killer said coldly, not following Gu Chen's wishes.
"How about I give you money and you fight with me?" Gu Chen asked with a smile.
"Everyone who enters my Wuwang Pavilion is always full of awe. It's rare to see someone as ignorant as you." The killer sneered.
"Thank you for the compliment, but I didn't find this place. What's so awe-inspiring?" Gu Chen looked around calmly.
"By the time you find out, I'm afraid your head will be gone." The killer shook his head. He didn't know whether he was too confident or arrogant.
"If you say so, I would rather try the mechanisms and assassination techniques of Wuwang Pavilion." Gu Chen refused.
The killer's eyes hidden in the veil turned cold, and he suddenly raised his hand, like twisting a needle, towards Gu Chen who was very close at hand!
Gu Chen's face didn't change, he turned his body slightly to one side and avoided the opponent's attack, and then used his backhand to tease him.
The killer reacted very quickly and kicked the table away with it.
Gu Chen's hands were indestructible. He scratched the table to pieces with one claw and continued to lift the veil!
The killer never shows his true face, but he insists on exposing it, and all his actions are provocations.
Snap!
Gu Chen tore the veil to pieces with one claw, and the bamboo hat flew up, but the killer in front of him suddenly dissipated and turned into gray mist!
This gray mist is exactly the same as the gray mist that killed the killer apprentice. It is extremely corrosive. And in this closed box, as soon as it dispersed, everything was submerged!
The gray mist rolled in and after all traces were wiped out, the figure of the killer appeared quietly.
"You are really asking for your own death," the killer said coldly.
"Oh? Are you sure?"
Suddenly a teasing voice came from behind, causing the killer to stiffen and turn his head to look.
I saw a young man with black hair who was unharmed, standing behind him with his hands behind his back. He didn't even notice when someone got close to him!
The poisonous mist was actually ineffective, and he was able to escape in such a small space in time!
The killer felt awe in his heart, knowing that he had lost if he exposed his back to the opponent!
"What exactly do you want to do?" the killer asked. If the other party really wanted to provoke Wuwang Pavilion, he should have taken the opportunity to kill him just now.
"I want to join Wuwang Pavilion, is it possible?" Gu Chen smiled and finally revealed his intention.
"You don't have to be strong to be a good killer." The killer sarcastically said.
"I actually have quite a lot of experience as a killer." Gu Chen smiled harmlessly.
