Seeing Gu Chen tell the origin of the other party, the leader of the Yinlong Clan nodded slightly in surprise.
The Chen clan's space-fixing technique is famous. It is said that when it is used, it can even freeze the energy surges and changes in the space, which indirectly makes many Taoist techniques invalid or greatly reduced in power.
The invisibility technique he was good at when fighting with the opponent was no longer effective, which led to a lot of extra time.
"I don't know who your Excellency is from the Chen clan. I guess you are not an unknown person, right? You broke into my Luoshui Palace without permission and you don't know why?"
Gu Chen looked at the middle-aged man and asked in a neutral tone.
"Are you Chen Yi? You should know why I'm here."
The middle-aged man looked at the cross tattoo on Gu Chen's eyebrows, identified his identity, and answered calmly, without much consciousness of being a prisoner.
Gu Chen frowned slightly when he heard this, probably guessing the other party's intention.
At the beginning of Pei State's establishment, he accidentally borrowed the identity of the Chen clan. As his influence and fame grew, this incident inevitably alarmed the Chen clan.
Chen Huandong, a young man from the Chen clan who had gone out for training, was asked about the details in a few moments and was captured. He is still locked up in the cell to this day.
With the change of dynasty in Dasheng, Gu Chen knew that the false identity of a descendant of the Chen clan could not be concealed after all, and the senior officials of the Chen clan would come looking for him sooner or later.
He has already thought about how to deal with it. As long as he openly admits that his identity is false and then brings out the mastermind behind it, the Great Prophet, no matter which force is there, naturally he will no longer be interested in him and will not dig into the details.
This is a feasible method. Even if the Chen Clan comes to settle the score, as long as you admit your mistake and hand over Chen Huandong, and then provide some compensation, I believe the Chen Clan will not pursue him fiercely.
If the Chen clan is right and unforgiving, he will have nothing to fear with his current power.
Everything that should be considered has been taken into consideration, but he did not expect that the Chen clan would come so quickly and still appear in a sneaky way, which made him a little uneasy.
You must know that when the Pei Dynasty was newly established, there should be some time lag before the matter was reported back to the Chen Clan before the Chen Clan took action. The reaction would not be so fast. The other party may have been targeting us for a long time.
If they were targeted early in the morning, the Chen clan would hide in secret and find some clues, which might be detrimental to themselves.
The Taoist messenger may arrive at any time recently, and the timing is very sensitive. If the Chen clan finds out something fishy about their identity, and then reports it to the Taoist court, the consequences will be disastrous...
Not sure whether the person in front of him had some secrets, Gu Chen couldn't help but have murderous intention in his heart.
However, just killing the opponent does not mean that the hidden danger is eliminated. God knows if there are other Chen monks in Peidu!
"Take him to the cell and I will interrogate him personally."
To be cautious, Gu Chen didn't ask any more questions and asked several elders to escort the middle-aged man into the prison of Luoshui Palace.
In the separate cell, after all the idlers were dismissed, Gu Chen talked alone with the middle-aged man.
"Your Excellency, you are here to investigate me for pretending to be a descendant of the Chen clan, right?"
Without anyone else around, Gu Chen asked casually, intent on finding out how much the other party secretly knew about him.
"The person I fought with just now is really the killer of Wuwang Pavilion?"
The middle-aged man was not in a hurry to answer, but instead asked with twinkling eyes, as if he had guessed something from his confrontation with the Hidden Dragon Clan's leader.
Gu Chen couldn't help but narrow his eyes. If the middle-aged man guessed the true identity of the Yinlong clan leader, things would be in trouble.
The fact that the Hidden Dragon Clan formed an alliance with him cannot be spread out for the time being, so this middle-aged man has another reason to die.
"Your Excellency must have investigated me before coming here. I am the master of Wuwang Pavilion. This Luoshui Palace is naturally heavily guarded and not easy to break into." Gu Chen replied.
"I have come into contact with the killers of Wuwang Pavilion, but their strength doesn't seem to be that high."
The middle-aged man said depressingly that he had made sufficient preparations before sneaking into Luoshui Palace. He thought he could hide it from all the assassins of Wuwang Pavilion, but he failed.
"That only means that you have underestimated me, Wuwang Pavilion. Before Dasheng's demise, who would have thought that Wuwang Pavilion could subvert an entire dynasty?"
Gu Chen said in an understatement, and the middle-aged man was speechless after hearing this. Wuwang Pavilion was indeed very popular during this period, and maybe he had underestimated it.
"If your Excellency came here to investigate, you could have come to visit openly and openly, why would you hide your head and hide your tail and end up in jail?" Gu Chen asked again.
"I came to visit you openly and honestly. Last time I, a descendant of the Chen clan, came to visit me, what happened to me? I would like to ask this fellow Taoist Chen, who is not sure whether his real surname is Chen, if that incompetent descendant of our clan is still alive?"
The middle-aged man sneered and said, he is not one of those young men in the clan who go out to gain experience. They are so frivolous that they come to ask for guilt without even knowing the details of the other party. As a result, his life and death are unknown to this day.
"It turns out that your Excellency already knows about this."
Gu Chen's heart sank, and he was even more sure that the other party did not sneak into Luoshui Palace on a temporary basis, and already knew something about him before.
It seems that Chen Huandong's disappearance attracted the attention of the Chen clan's senior officials. I don't know how many channels and manpower the Chen clan used to investigate themselves!
Chen Huandong was captured by him before he went to Shengjing to participate in the old Shenghuang's test. If the Chen clan had sent people to investigate the matter at that time, then they might know a lot more than they imagined...
"If you want others to know nothing, you have to do it yourself. My Taoist friend pretended to be a disciple of my Chen clan and became prosperous in Dasheng. Have you ever thought about how you will tell him when the envoy from Pu Taoist Court comes that day?
explain?"
"Daoting is not stupid. They can also find out things that our Chen clan can find out, and they will only find out more."
The middle-aged man seemed to have something on his mind, as if he had already grasped Gu Chen's hand.
"If you know something, you can directly report it to Tianpu Taoist Court. That is a great achievement. Why bother to sneak into my Luoshui Palace and take such a big risk?"
Gu Chen responded calmly. He was not sure what the other party knew, or he might just be pretending so that he would not dare to kill him.
This possibility exists. If the other party really knows a lot of secrets, it is unlikely that he will fall into the hands of the leader of the Hidden Dragon Clan.
"The water in Luoshui Palace is so deep, and there is no conclusive evidence. How dare I go to the Taoist court to complain?" The middle-aged man shook his head.
"So you sneaked into Luoshui Palace to find evidence? I wonder what kind of evidence you were looking for?"
"If I told you, would you let me go? I'm not stupid." The middle-aged man sneered.
"Your Majesty is serious. I was the one who made the mistake of pretending to be my identity. Once the misunderstanding is explained clearly, I will naturally let you go."
Gu Chen said without missing a beat. He was not sure whether the other party really knew anything. If he followed his words, he would be setting himself up for trouble.
