"The so-called most dangerous place is the safest place. Hiding here and there is not a long-term solution after all. Only with the right to speak can we have more possibilities and more bargaining chips."
"Even though the enemy is powerful, it is not the only one. I am willing to take risks in exchange for a brighter future for Luomen."
The great prophet's meaningful words obviously did not directly answer Patriarch Chen's question, but he listened thoughtfully and was greatly touched.
"The enemy is powerful, but it is not the only one..."
Patriarch Chen muttered to himself for a long time before he came back to his senses and solemnly asked the Great Prophet for advice.
"The Great Prophet has said so much to me, it must not be just out of emotion, right? I wonder if the Great Prophet has any suggestions?"
Gu Chen also looked at the Great Prophet. As the so-called bystander knows, the foreshadowing made by the Great Prophet's words just now made him more or less guess what he wanted to do, but he didn't understand it.
"It was wrong of me to borrow the name of the Chen clan, but since things have already happened, it is better to make mistakes." The great prophet touched his beard.
"How can you make the wrong mistake?" Patriarch Chen asked in confusion.
"Since the outside world now thinks that Chen Yi is a member of the Chen clan, Chief Chen might as well admit it openly. This can not only serve as a test for the Chen clan to rejoin the world, but also gain us as allies. Isn't it a good thing to kill two birds with one stone?
"
The Great Prophet's words sounded nice, but Patriarch Chen's eyes were filled with sparkles. "The Great Prophet wants me to lie to the Taoist envoy? This is a serious crime!"
"Clan Chief Chen's words are serious. The Chen clan has been hidden from the world for a long time. The outside world has always known very little about your clan members. With Chief Chen's ability, it is not difficult to arrange an identity for Chen Yi that will not be exposed."
"Since the risk is very small, there is no serious crime at all. What really matters is the benefits of doing so."
The Great Prophet smiled and suddenly pointed at Gu Chen.
"Clan Chief Chen has also seen it. You now know our secret. Fellow Daoist Chen has a strong murderous intention towards you. If you can't reassure him, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave Luoshui Palace alive."
"And as long as you lie to the Taoist envoy, it is equivalent to proving that you are on the same boat as us. Of course, Fellow Daoist Chen has no reason to kill you again."
Patriarch Chen had a wry smile on his face when he heard this. Since he had determined that the Great Prophet was the mastermind behind Pei Chao, he naturally believed that his life and death were only in the hands of the other party.
The Great Prophet's move out of Gu Chen now seems to him to be nothing more than a threat to him overtly or covertly, warning him that if he refuses to form an alliance, he will only die.
Normally he would be extremely angry if he was threatened like this, but the words of the Great Prophet really touched him and made him seriously think about the possibility of forming an alliance.
Lying to Tao Ting is indeed a serious crime, but Tao Ting is essentially a product of the game and compromise between various forces.
When Chen Sheng was still there, the Chen clan was a thorn in the flesh of all forces. Although they are now in a corner, there are still forces in the Taoist court who want to kill them. They are just afraid of Chen Sheng's life and death, so they dare not take action.
If Chen Sheng dies, the Chen clan will not survive. In comparison, what does deceiving the Taoist court mean?
What's more, the risk of this matter is extremely low. With his ability, he can indeed help Chen Yi arrange a seamless identity. No one in the Chen family will doubt it, unless he leaks the secret himself.
By doing this, you can gain Luo Men's trust. Not only can you escape safely, but you can also gain influence in the Pei Dynasty. It is indeed a multi-purpose achievement!
The only thing we need to worry about is that once the identity of a descendant of the Chen Yi Chen clan is confirmed, will it arouse the sensitive nerves of some big shots?
As the leader of a clan, a decision he made at the moment might affect the survival of the clan, so although Chief Chen was moved, he still hesitated.
"There is something that Patriarch Chen may not be clear about. The reason why the Qiankun Society is willing to give up its operations in Dasheng and hand it over to us is because the leader of the Qiankun Society has already formed an alliance with us."
"In other words, if Patriarch Chen agrees to form an alliance with us, he will also form an alliance with Luomen, Wuwang Pavilion and Qiankunhui at the same time."
The Great Prophet still refused to let go when he saw Patriarch Chen, and promptly administered a strong dose of medicine.
"The legendary leader has also formed an alliance with you?"
Patriarch Chen suddenly raised his head, and his expression suddenly became very exciting.
Rumors about the leader of the Qiankun Society have been very common in the past hundred years. Not only is he extremely talented, but more importantly, he has the connections and resources!
That master is the standing director of Tianpu Taoist Court, and the Qiankun Association he established has also recruited many members with strong backgrounds.
It can be said that if we can establish a relationship with that person, the situation of the Chen family being isolated by all parties will be much better!
Patriarch Chen was suddenly moved. It seemed to him that the Great Prophet was no longer negotiating with him, but giving him an opportunity, perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
He did not doubt the authenticity of the alliance with the Qiankun Society, because the Qiankun Society indeed withdrew from Dasheng peacefully, with no smoke at all.
If he hadn't reached some kind of agreement with Luo Men, how could he be so generous?
"Okay, I don't mind the Great Prophet Meng. I am willing to represent the Chen clan and form an alliance with Luomen and Daoyou Chen's Wuwang Pavilion!"
Patriarch Chen said decisively, fearing that such a golden opportunity would slip away.
"Okay, since Patriarch Chen is willing, everyone is happy. Fellow Daoist Chen, am I right?"
Seeing that the other party finally relented, the Great Prophet smiled with satisfaction, and at the same time looked at Gu Chen, his eyes shining like an old fox.
Gu Chen was speechless. If what the great prophet said at the beginning could be said to be from the bottom of his heart, then his subsequent remarks about forming an alliance with the Qiankun Society were pure deception.
On the surface, they are indeed in alliance with the Qiankun Society, but in fact they are enemies, not to mention that the premise of the alliance is mixed with something as strange as the rebel army.
The Great Prophet and Patriarch Chen said that they were remembered because of the long-lost great prophecy technique, but they did not say that the person who worried about him was Fang Yuan. Instead, they said that they had formed an alliance with Fang Yuan. Isn't this deceiving?
Also, the Great Prophet obviously appeared on purpose just after he had finished interrogating Patriarch Chen and was about to kill him, in order to achieve the effect of one being a bad person and the other a bad person!
It was carefully designed from beginning to end so that Patriarch Chen would willingly fall into his own pit. Gu Chen suddenly had a better understanding of the great prophet's insidiousness and cunning!
Gu Chen despised the Great Prophet in his heart, and was even more dissatisfied with his plan for not telling him his plan in advance, but since it had reached this point, it was not easy to destroy him directly.
The Great Prophet was aware of the risks of letting Chief Chen go, but he still chose to form an alliance with the Chen clan. He must have had far-reaching considerations, and he might have divined some kind of future.
