The great sage Sheyi walked away, and the sage king Zhusi took Litian back to his residence for treatment.
Before the Taoting meeting even started, the herdsmen had lost face in front of all the forces.
Many forces secretly rejoice in the misfortune. The herdsmen are prosperous in military force and are domineering on weekdays. I didn't expect that this time they would be disgraced by their own forces!
The Chen clan is different.
Many forces have secretly begun to make friends, while many forces still keep a distance.
It will take some time to see whether the Chen clan really rises, or whether it will be fleeting like fireworks.
After all, the Great Sage Sheyi had made harsh words. If the Mu Dynasty wanted to annihilate the Chen Clan, the Chen Clan might not have the chance to participate in the next Taoist meeting due to the disparity in military strength between the two sides.
No matter what, since Chen Sheng disappeared, it is the first time that the Chen clan has received the attention, even awe, of so many forces!
"Brother Chen, let's go have a few drinks."
Seeing that the matter was settled for the time being, Sheng Kuafu stepped forward and made a warm invitation.
Sheng Tuo did not stop his son. With the strength of the Dawn God Clan, he did not need to look at the faces of the herdsmen.
Since Chen Yunfei is so talented, it may not be a bad thing for his son to be friends with him.
"Clan Chief Sheng, I still have something to talk to Brother Chen alone. Can you wait for a while?" Fang Yuan said with a smile.
"Is there anything else? Do we still want to pursue what happened just now? It's obvious that the herdsmen went too far. Li Tian deserved to have his arm chopped off!"
"As for Chen Qinghe's death, that is an internal matter of the Chen clan. There is no reason for the Taoist court to interfere, right?"
Sheng Kuafu frowned and spoke for Gu Chen.
With the status of this legendary leader in Hongying Villa, if he insists on embarrassing Gu Chen, I'm afraid it will be a lot of trouble.
"Don't worry, Chief Sheng. As long as it doesn't affect the normal holding of the meeting, Hongying Villa will not interfere in the conflicts between the various forces."
"Let's talk to Brother Chen alone. I just want to remind him a few words. After all, the upcoming meeting is not trivial. The Chen clan cannot cause any more trouble."
Fang Yuan explained politely. Hearing this, Sheng Kuafu looked at Gu Chen and saw Gu Chen agreeing with a smile. "I've heard about the name of the top legend for a long time. It's an honor for me to get acquainted with him."
The victims all agreed, but Sheng Kuafu had nothing to say and said: "Brother Chen, please go back quickly. I will prepare a banquet first and we will have a good chat later. I am very curious about how you came out alive from the Taichu Demon Mine.
This must be a great news in the spiritual world!"
So Gu Chen and Fang Yuan came to a secluded place alone. In front of them was a crystal clear lake.
Fang Yuan's eyes reflected the lake water, looking unfathomable and unable to detect his true emotions.
Gu Chen's heart was also calm.
Be it anger or hatred, the emotions that a person who has died once have become as smooth and silent as the breeze with these hundred years of silence and experience.
"In the past, Qiankunhui's plan in Dasheng failed. I always thought that the person I was fighting against was just the great prophet of Luomen. But I didn't expect that it turned out that I underestimated the heroes of the world. Brother Chen really kept it secret."
There was no one around, but what Fang Yuan was talking about was not the problems of the herdsmen, but reminiscing about the past.
Gu Chen smiled freely and said, "Brother Gu, thank you."
There are some things that do not need to be acknowledged or refuted. A very smart person like Fang Yuan, seeing his actions today, will definitely recall some details of how Qiankun would fight against him in the original Dasheng Seven Kingdoms.
At that time, he was hiding behind the Great Prophet. People with some influence would think that he was driven by the Great Prophet and was not a major figure when they received information about Pei State.
Fang Yuan was not in Peichao at that time, and his eyes would not be focused on such a small place, so he naturally made a similar judgment.
But now, he has become a blockbuster, and his sudden high profile must be a little uncomfortable for this legendary number one who is always used to counting everyone and everything.
"Now it seems that handing Sheng Dynasty into the hands of Brother Chen is indeed a very wise choice. Brother Chen will not forget the alliance between you and me, right?"
Fang Yuan said again, specifically mentioning the three parties, and Gu Chen immediately understood his intention.
The Qiankun Society had secret contacts with the rebels, and he seized their leverage and used this coercion to obtain the Seven Kingdoms of Dasheng.
The relationship between the three parties is a bit delicate. Because the Qiankun Association withdrew from the Pei Dynasty, on the surface, the two parties no longer have much interaction. He cannot know whether the Qiankun Association has private contact with the rebels and how far the relationship has progressed.
On the one hand, Fang Yuan's words were testing him, and on the other hand, they were also a warning, reminding him that both parties were grasshoppers on the same rope, so don't do anything outrageous.
This is in line with his always cautious nature. Since he has decided to take action at the Taoist meeting, he does not want other unstable factors to appear!
"Of course Chen has not forgotten it. I would like to thank Brother Gu for showing up just in time. Otherwise, if there was a fight, I might not be the opponent of the great sage She Yi."
Gu Chen pretended to be grateful, describing Fang Yuan's appearance just now as helping him, trying to subconsciously lower the other party's assessment of his own strength.
"Brother Chen is too modest. With Brother Chen's strength, if he had participated in the competition for the legendary list earlier, my position at the top of the list would have been replaced."
Fang Yuan didn't accept his trick and started to show weakness.
Gu Chen was disdainful in his heart. On the surface, the Legend List was a ranking of the strength of the younger generation in the Taoist world. Due to age and realm limitations, even the top ranked ones would not be able to reach the Taoist Ancestor realm.
In fact, let alone the Daozu Realm, even the Great Sage Realm rarely appeared on previous legendary lists.
Like Gu Chen just did, he took an arrow from the Great Sage She Yi, and he does seem to be qualified to compete for the top spot in the legend list.
It's just that Fang Yuan is currently at the top of the list of legends. Is his strength really only what everyone thinks?
Everyone knows that the legendary leader is extremely talented. In just a hundred years since he ascended from the Sea of Chaos, his strength has been close to that of his master Jing Sheng.
And Jingsheng is a strong man at the peak of the Great Sage, which means that Fang Yuan is also close to this level of strength!
According to normal people's knowledge, no matter how evil Fang Yuan is, reaching this level is the limit.
But Gu Chen knew who he was, and even knew his true background, but he didn't believe it. He only had this little strength he showed!
Therefore, both sides are showing weakness and manipulating people's hearts!
The only difference this time is that Fang Yuan doesn't know his true identity, but he knows his!
"Brother Chen has completely offended the herdsman this time, and the consequences may not be optimistic. But I see that Brother Chen is not very worried. This reminds me of a rumor about the Taichu Demon Mine."
"It is rumored that Chen Sheng and Chen Daolin entered the Taichu Demon Mine that year, and just a few years ago, the Taichu Demon Mine had another phenomenon of the birth of Dao Ancestor."
Fang Yuan continued, seemingly unintentionally, but Gu Chen's eyes narrowed.
