After hearing what Clay Bodhisattva said, Wu Lie's face looked much better.
However, Elder Chen was his trump card, and he did not want any possible accidents to happen, so he was still unwilling to facilitate this matter.
It wouldn't be a good idea to refuse directly. It would be equivalent to saying that you don't trust the person. Wu Lie thought about how to respond better.
At this time, Ya Huan spoke and said with a smile: "Elder Chen wants to contact the people of the Qiankun Society, does he mean the general Xing Sangyan?"
"Of course." Ni Bodhisattva nodded.
"If you want to contact him, there is actually a better place to go than visiting Prince Yanyang." Ya Huan said immediately.
"Oh? Where?" Ni Bodhisattva glanced at Gu Chen inadvertently.
Wu Lie's eyes lit up as he was thinking about his words, "Could Brother Huan be referring to Longzhai?"
"That's right, since Sangyan came to Shengjing, he has never spent a night in the Prince's Mansion. Most of the time he lives in Longzhai." Ya Huan said.
"I wonder where this Longzhai is?" Gu Chen took a sip of wine and asked casually.
"Longzhai is the largest dragon fighting arena in Beijing. It is also a black market. Some monks who travel in the dark world often conduct shady transactions there."
"This Dragon Village has existed in Shengjing for a long time. Even though it has done some things that violate Dasheng's laws, it has always been safe because Prince Yanyang is their backer!"
Ya Huan explained it, and Gu Chen probably understood what kind of place it was.
"Why does General Xing Sangyan live in a smoky Longzhai when he can't live in the wonderful Prince's Mansion?" Ni Bodhisattva asked in confusion.
"Elder Chen doesn't know something. This Sangyan is not only one of the generals of the Qiankun Society, but he is also quite famous in the dark world in recent years."
Wu Lie immediately rushed to explain, and it was not surprising why the Clay Bodhisattva didn't know this. After all, the Chen clan could not escape from the world, so it was normal for them not to know some situations in the outside world.
"This Sangyan is a well-known middleman in the dark world. It is said that he secretly controls a huge arms trade with channels all over the Taoist world. Not only some rebels in the dynasty will do business with him, but even some powerful officials from famous families will do so.
His clients.”
"According to legend, he also raised a large number of dead soldiers. These dead soldiers were extremely ferocious and made great contributions to his rise in the dark world."
"As a person from the dark world, he will naturally be more comfortable living in Longzhai, and it will be easier for him to handle many things."
Ya Huan further explained that when it came to Sang Yan's influence in the dark world, he was obviously quite wary.
Gu Chen pondered for a moment after hearing this. The Great Prophet had also mentioned the relevant statement when he mentioned Sang Yan to him, but it was not as detailed as Ya Huan's.
The so-called middleman is a person who mediates between two major forces to facilitate transactions and earn commissions.
As for the middlemen in the dark world, because the two parties to the transaction are often extremely vicious, or the content of the transaction is completely shady, the requirements for the middlemen are higher.
Gu Chen was a little surprised that Sang Yan was able to exert such great power in the dark world where dragons and snakes were mixed.
After all, although he only met Sang Yan once in the Sea of Chaos, he clearly remembered his temperament. His temperament did not seem to be able to handle such a complicated situation.
Of course, people will change. A hundred years have passed, and the other party was once known as the most talented person on the Chaos Spirits List. It is not surprising that he has made such progress now.
"So that's it. Then please ask the young patriarch to show you the way. I want to go to Longzhai to see something."
Mud Bodhisattva made eye contact with Gu Chen and said immediately.
"Of course there is no problem if Elder Chen wants to go. There will definitely be a fight between us and that Sangyan in the ancestral territory. There is no harm in knowing the opponent in advance."
Ya Huan readily agreed, and Wu Lie had no objections.
He was worried that Elder Chen's meeting with Prince Yanyang, even if he only entered the Prince's Mansion, might send wrong information to all parties in the capital.
But Longzhai was fine, and having Ya Huan with him made him feel relieved.
"It's better to choose a different day than to hit the sun. How about we go now?" Ni Bodhisattva suggested.
"That's fine. I've had enough wine and food. It's time to take a walk to eat."
Yahuan agreed. He had done something to offend someone before, and now he could make amends and improve the relationship between the two parties.
So Ya Huan led the way, and Gu Chen and the others left Heizi Mansion, but Wu Lie did not follow. He had been busy with many things recently.
Longzhai arrived soon. It is located in the largest slum in Shengjing. The surrounding buildings are old and dilapidated, and there are no obvious regional divisions.
As soon as you enter the Dragon Village, you can see fighting dragons of different colors and shapes everywhere, some are tied by monks, or they are dueling in small circles drawn out. The monks around are in high spirits.
Most fighting dragons are just larger or more ferocious than ordinary sub-dragon species. Dragon species with pure blood are rare.
Dragon fighting is mostly cultivated since childhood. It is not much different from fighting beasts, cocks and crickets, but it is more cruel. If neither party bleeds to death, the two dragon fighting parties will often not stop fighting.
Gu Chen saw with his own eyes a fighting dragon whining and falling down in front of him, but its owner just cursed a few times, angrily threw the money to his opponent and left.
After that, the crowd watching the excitement dispersed, leaving the dying Dou Long lying in a pool of blood, suffering pain and dying alone.
Gu Chen was silent when he saw this. Fortunately, the Tyrannosaurus Rex was not here. Otherwise, even if these subsaurus species were not real dinosaurs, he would not feel good in a place like this.
Gu Chen stepped forward, bent down, and gave Dou Long a final blow, ending its pain early, and then continued to follow the crowd.
Everyone went deep into Longzhai and found that in addition to the endless dragon fighting competitions, some monks could often be seen sneaking around in some dilapidated and abandoned buildings.
Most of them are conducting transactions, and the things they trade are kept secret. There are people on the outside who are on guard, and they will scold and leave any strangers who approach.
Just scolding is okay. If a kind person enters Longzhai, he will die on the street if he is not careful. Robbery and murder happen here every day. It is a real lawless place in Shengjing.
Gu Chen and his party were led by Ya Huan. Although he was traveling in casual clothes, the characteristics of the Golden Crow clan members were too obvious, so no one dared to approach and harass them.
In this capital, no one dares to provoke any crow generals easily, because they are the sword and shield of the dynasty.
When passing by a building, Ye Mi and Gu Chen said hello and left quietly.
Gu Chen didn't ask any more questions, knowing that Wuwang Pavilion must have a branch in Shengjing, and most of the assassin organizations' branches were established in chaotic places like Longzhai.
When he first arrived in Shengjing, Ye Mi had to say hello to the people at Wuwang Pavilion so that if something went wrong, he wouldn't be caught off guard.
Ya Huan was a little surprised at Ye Mi's departure. Why was a servant girl running around here?
But he didn't ask any more questions, and the remaining three people quickly arrived at their destination.
"Elder Chen, Brother Chen, ahead is where Sangyan stayed in the city."
Gu Chen looked in the direction that Ya Huan was pointing, and found that the huge building in front of him was crowded with people and noisy.
