"It's normal for some people to die unexpectedly during war. Let's send our people to solve these troubles secretly."
Gu Chen said calmly that if the list was given directly to the Chen clan, the Chen clan would definitely ask for the source of the information, which might expose their secrets.
These spies couldn't be easily captured and would definitely deny it. He didn't want to confront them and cause conflicts within the Chen clan.
Assassination is the simplest way. At this juncture, the Chen clan has no time to pursue their murderer, let alone think of him.
"Understood."
Ni Bodhisattva took the list from Gu Chen and quickly said goodbye.
In the next half month, the Chen clan's victory in various places continued to expand, with good news coming one after another. At the same time, the number of casualties also increased.
This includes dozens of people who were killed by killers arranged by Gu Chen without anyone noticing.
These dozens of spies had been secretly trained by the Jade Clan and Qingliu Holy Land for many years, and they were suddenly killed intensively, which naturally aroused the suspicion of the two major forces.
However, they did not suspect Gu Chen, but suspected that the Chen clan had already known the identity of these spies and took advantage of this moment to catch them all.
As a result, the Chen clan became more troublesome and troublesome in the eyes of the two major forces. They were able to discern the identity of the spies early but did not reveal it. They allowed them to bring out intelligence over the years, which means that the intelligence they brought out was not important. The Chen clan hid it.
Developed more strengths than they could have imagined.
Combined with the thunderous actions of the Chen tribe in opening up territory during this period, the two major forces finally admitted that the powerful tribe that was once on par with them has returned!
Two months later, the turmoil in the Jade Dynasty reached a watershed, and the small forces were basically annexed or subdued. The competition between the three major forces of the Jade Clan, Qingliu Holy Land, and Chen Clan officially came to the stage.
Originally it was just a matter of carving up the benefits vacated by the Baqi Holy Land, but after a round of bloody shuffling, the strong became stronger, and the small forces that were still able to survive completely disappeared.
The pattern of the Jade Dynasty has never been clearer. Under Liu Sheng's strength, the Green Willow Holy Land has absorbed the most forces and territories, and has firmly established itself as the largest force in the Jade Dynasty.
The Chen clan has captured the second largest amount of power and territory. It has gone from hiding from the outside world to having an influence comparable to the original Baqi Holy Land, and has captured countless resources.
In comparison, the Jade Clan's court gained the least. This clan has never been good at using force and is used to being comfortable. It does not have the tiger and wolf spirit of the other two major factions.
The situation has developed to this point, and the elders of the Chen clan are very nervous, knowing that they may have to officially face the Qingliu Holy Land next.
No one knows whether Qingliu Holy Land will accept it as soon as it is ready, or whether it wants to go further and swallow up the Chen clan, it all depends on the will of Liu Sheng!
The consequences of swallowing up so much territory became apparent at this time. The Chen clan's combat power was limited. In order to consolidate their achievements, they could only disperse the people, and the elders were stationed in various places.
The ban on Dingkong Mountain has also been fully opened. The elders have sent letters to Gu Chen many times to remind him to guard the mountain gate, lest the thieves in Qingliu Holy Land capture the king first and take away Dingkong Mountain.
If that's the case, no matter how much territory they grab, the Chen clan will become a loser and everything will be meaningless!
The situation was very sensitive. Gu Chen thought that the Mu Clan was about to intervene at this time. What he didn't expect was that there was no movement over there and no one contacted the Chen Clan.
This is a bad signal. If the herdsmen don't express their stance, Liu Sheng must be ready to make a move and may attack the Chen clan at any time!
"Where did the calculation go wrong?"
Gu Chen frowned, unable to guess what the herdsmen were thinking, so he could only find a way to contact the Great Prophet.
If Liu Sheng really takes action, he cannot take action when all parties are paying close attention to it. Only the Great Prophet can stop Liu Sheng.
However, when he finally contacted the two prophets Qiao and Qiu of Luomen, they brought bad news.
"Muzu has invited you, and the great prophet has already attended the appointment. We can't contact him at the moment."
Muzu!
The Taoist ancestor behind the Mu Dynasty, one of the top monks in the Hongmeng Taoist world, and the great prophet was actually taken away by him!
Something like this suddenly happened at this juncture, which made Gu Chen feel uneasy.
Could it be that Muzu noticed something?
When the Great Prophet leaves, it is not known whether he is dead or alive. Will the secrets about him be revealed?
Gu Chen could only ask the two prophets for details. He felt relieved when he heard that the great prophet had received Muzu's invitation and took the initiative to go there.
The great prophet has always been wise and can predict misfortunes and blessings. If this is going to be a disaster, he will not be stupid enough to go ahead.
In this case, Mu Zu's invitation may have another reason, and it should not have anything to do with him.
"The Great Prophet didn't leave any message to me?"
Gu Chen felt speechless. Since he went there on his own initiative, the Great Prophet should have had time to send a letter to inform him of this matter.
"The great prophet only said that if Mr. Chen asks, he will say that the problem lies with the Chen clan itself and has nothing to do with Mr. Chen."
Qiu Xianzhe conveyed it truthfully, and Gu Chen fell into thinking after listening.
It has nothing to do with him. The great prophet is afraid that he will think too much.
It's just that the problem arises with the Chen clan itself, so what's going on?
As far as the current situation is concerned, joining forces with Chen and Kangliu is the best choice to safeguard the interests of the herdsmen in the Jade Dynasty. Are there any concerns that prevent the herdsmen from making a decision?
Also, if the Great Prophet is called away at this time, the Chen clan will be without a saint to support them. If Liu Sheng comes to kill them, they will definitely lose!
"Could it be..."
Gu Chen thought for a long time, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he thought of someone!
Missing Chen Sheng!
He had investigated the inside story of Chen Sheng's disappearance to some extent. On the surface, it was because he was a big tree and had offended too many forces, but in fact, it mainly aroused the suspicion of Mu Zu.
Chen Sheng is extremely talented, and his self-created Three-Single Holy Technique can suppress most of the three thousand minor techniques, and is known as the ultimate in the saint's way. This shows how terrifying his aptitude and understanding are.
It is normal for such a person to appear in Muzu's back garden and arouse his suspicion.
It was at this time that Chen Sheng suddenly disappeared. Some said that he was quietly killed by Mu Zu, while others said that he sensed the crisis in advance and took refuge by disappearing.
That happened a long time ago, and no one knows the truth. Even within the Chen clan, there is no way to confirm Chen Sheng's life or death.
If Chen Sheng was indeed not dead back then, then what Mu Zu is doing now can be understood.
He was testing whether Chen Sheng would show up when the Chen clan faced a life-and-death crisis.
If the Great Prophet was there, Chen Sheng knew that someone from the Chen clan was protecting him, so he would not show up, so he had to invite the Great Prophet away.
But if he wanted to force Chen Sheng out with the lives of the entire Chen clan, Mu Zu could have done so long ago, so why wait until now?
Gu Chen had many doubts in his heart, but he also realized that something bad was going on. It involved the realm of Dao Ancestor, and the situation became more complicated than ever!
