When Gu Chen left the Chen Clan's secret place, Clan Chief Chen no longer had any thoughts about practicing.
That night, I was even gloomy and could not sleep.
The next day, Liu Sheng came again, still using the essence of plants and trees to incarnate. This time Patriarch Chen participated in the meeting.
"You are so brave. If you are found out, you and I will be dead."
After hearing Gu Chen's plan, Liu Sheng frowned.
"Is Liu Sheng afraid?"
Gu Chen just responded with a faint smile.
"If I were afraid, I wouldn't be standing here right now."
Liu Sheng refused to accept Gu Chen's aggressive tactics and said righteously: "Remember, if your plan succeeds, the Chen clan owes me a favor, and you owe me a favor!"
Gu Chen was slightly surprised. He had thought that Liu Sheng would hesitate. He had already prepared some words to further persuade the other party, but he didn't expect that he would not be able to use them.
This decisive spirit is much better than that of Patriarch Chen, and Gu Chen admires Liu Sheng a little.
"Okay, no matter whether things work out or not, I still owe you a favor and I will definitely repay it someday." Gu Chen promised.
"It's best to repay it in the future. Let's collect some interest first. After it's done, I want half of the territory that the Chen clan has captured." Liu Sheng added.
"Don't be too greedy. Don't forget, Saint Liu. If I hadn't killed Saint Baqi, Qingliu Holy Land wouldn't be able to easily acquire such a large territory now."
"Besides, the herdsmen must re-maintain the balance afterwards. Too much territory may not be a good thing for the Green Willow Holy Land."
Gu Chen said in a nonchalant manner, actually telling in front of Patriarch Chen that he had killed the Baqi Saint.
Patriarch Chen was originally surprised by the calm and equal manner in which Gu Chen and Liu Sheng negotiated. He was even more shocked when he heard what he said casually, and his mind was filled with thoughts.
"Hmph, it's okay if you don't want the territory, but you have to tell me how you killed that old poisonous snake?"
Liu Sheng knew that what Gu Chen said was right. It would be good if he could maintain the territory he had annexed when the matter was completed. No good would come from being greedy, so he stopped forcing it and instead made a small request.
He had been fighting with the Eight-Dimensional Saint for many years, and he always knew that the old poisonous snake had a trump card, and it was not easy to kill him.
A descendant of the Chen clan, who didn't seem to have reached the holy realm, was able to kill the old poisonous snake. He still couldn't figure out how he did it.
Just now, when Gu Chen talked about it himself, it could be said that he had misheard it, but now that Liu Shengdu asked this question, Patriarch Chen was immediately sure that it was really Chen Yi who killed the Baqi Sage!
He listened carefully for a while, trying to figure out how he did it.
"Why don't Liu Sheng tell me first how you overheard my conversation before?" Gu Chen asked instead without answering.
"Your Excellency, you are not sincere. Since you and I want to cooperate, I must know your specific strength." Liu Sheng looked dissatisfied.
"If I could know how Liu Sheng overheard my conversation, I might be able to find my own shortcomings and nip them in the bud, so that the next plan would be more secure." Gu Chen ignored his dissatisfaction.
"Don't worry, I am an exception. With the restrictions of Dingkong Mountain left by Chen Sheng, you will not be spied on so easily." Liu Sheng said.
The two tested each other and bargained for a while, but in the end no one took advantage.
"I won't be merciful when I take action that day, at least in the eyes of others."
Liu Sheng gave up and continued talking to Gu Chen, who was not interested in anything, and looked at Patriarch Chen.
Patriarch Chen's expression suddenly became a little nervous, and he nodded seriously. "Sorry to trouble you, senior."
This name used to be normal in the past, but after Gu Chen, who was apparently his descendant, met Liu Sheng's peers, Patriarch Chen felt a little weird.
Hearing this title, Liu Sheng glanced at Gu Chen meaningfully and said nothing more.
"Okay, I'm leaving. You can wish yourself well that day."
After Liu Sheng finished speaking, his incarnation dispersed into blue light and disappeared. When Gu Chen heard the last sentence, he had an ominous premonition in his heart.
This guy didn't get any advantage in the negotiation, and I'm afraid he will take it out on himself.
"Fellow Daoist Chen..."
As soon as Liu Sheng left, Patriarch Chen couldn't help the questions in his mind and wanted to ask, but Gu Chen waved his hand and stopped him.
After taking Patriarch Chen into a house and making sure that there were no green plants inside, Gu Chen placed a restraint and then started talking to Patriarch Chen with confidence.
"Did you really kill the Eight-Dimensional Saint?"
Patriarch Chen blurted out, feeling a little resentful in his heart.
In his opinion, the reason why he is in so much trouble now is because the Eight-Dimensional Sage was killed.
If the Baqi Saint is immortal, the Green Willow Holy Land will not seize the territory, and the Chen Clan will not conflict with him, so naturally the matter of Mu Zu will be over!
"Patriarch, I know you are a little aggrieved by this matter. It's my fault. I didn't expect such an incident to happen."
Gu Chen readily admitted his mistake. He originally just wanted to kill the Lord of Fear Castle first, but he was not that quick to kill the Eight-Different Saint.
However, he did not expect that Saint Baqi was the owner of the Fear Castle. Things suddenly went into chaos and his plan had to be advanced.
Otherwise, according to the normal progress, by the time he planned to attack the Baqi Saint, the Chen clan leader would have almost finished his retreat. At that time, the Chen clan would be more confident to re-enter the world.
"You didn't expect that? Did you ask for my opinion before taking action? Because of you, our Chen clan is now in a desperate situation!"
Patriarch Chen was so angry that he regretted that after receiving the Great Yuanli surgery, he was so focused on practicing that he forgot to watch out for Gu Chen.
It has only been a short time since the other party entered the Chen Clan, and yet it has brought a crisis of destruction to the Chen Clan!
"Okay, I know that Patriarch Chen is unhappy. After this disaster is over, it won't be too late for Patriarch Chen to blame him again."
Gu Chen comforted him and said that he deliberately told the truth about the death of Saint Baqi in front of Patriarch Chen because Liu Sheng already knew about it.
Now that Liu Sheng knows about this, it would be better for him to tell it himself than for Patriarch Chen to hear about it from Liu Sheng.
Moreover, he deliberately revealed a little bit of his own strength to give Patriarch Chen confidence so that he could better listen to his arrangements in the future.
"After this disaster is over, can I still return to the Chen clan?"
Patriarch Chen had a bitter smile on his face. According to Cheng Chen's plan, the entire Chen clan could indeed be preserved to the greatest extent, but from now on, he would have to remain anonymous!
"There will be a day, I promise you." Gu Chen said solemnly.
"Your guarantee? You are not Daozu, so what is the meaning of your guarantee? I really regret getting on this pirate ship of yours!"
Patriarch Chen sighed, but now that the matter was over, he knew that it was useless to scold Gu Chen, so he could only follow his path until the end.
Gu Chen smiled and said nothing. The Ni Bodhisattva next to him looked at the helpless Patriarch Chen and shook his head secretly.
Who says the boss's guarantee is useless?
There are countless Taoist ancestors in this Hongmeng Taoist world, but there is only one Yaogu Tyrant Body!
Just like Gu Chen promised that he would avenge him, Patriarch Chen will definitely not regret today's decision in the future.
