"With more than a quarter of the abstentions, this motion will not be passed for the time being."
Jingsheng made a decision and came up with a new proposal without delay.
Gu Chen took his hand back, turning a blind eye to the gloomy eyes of the Great Sage She Yi and the surprised expressions on all sides, as if he was just doing something ordinary.
Liu Sheng looked at his appearance, a flash of surprise flashed deep in his eyes, but then it disappeared.
The meeting continued, and when night fell, Daozu Ye You was the first to get up and stretch his waist.
"Okay, okay, I'm exhausted. It's time to rest. Let's continue the discussion tomorrow."
After saying that, he was the first to leave the conference hall. Everyone looked at each other in shock. Daozu Ye You seemed to be sleeping from beginning to end, right?
The time is indeed almost here. The first day of the meeting has ended and everyone has gone their separate ways.
When Gu Chen left the hall, Ni Bodhisattva and Chen Wenfeng greeted him immediately.
"how?"
Gu Chen asked, after he let Ni Bodhisattva enter Hongying Villa, he secretly monitored Ling Bing of Hua Xiang Sect.
Clay Bodhisattva quietly replied, "There is nothing unusual."
Gu Chen nodded. It was just the first day after entering Hongying Villa. Even if the other party really had something fishy, it would not be exposed so early.
"Keep monitoring, don't stop."
As soon as Gu Chen finished his instructions, Yan Liuliu from Jiange came over.
"Clan Chief Chen, I wonder if you are free tonight. I would like to invite you to get together."
Yan Shiliu invited him politely, which attracted the attention of many people around him.
"No kid dares to disobey Great Sage Yan's banquet." Gu Chen said with a smile.
Fang Yuan guessed correctly, Yan Liuliu did come to contact him, although he himself intentionally guided all this.
Soon Gu Chen and Yan Shiliu left chatting and laughing. Great Sage She Yi saw this scene from a distance, and a strong murderous look appeared in the depths of his eyes!
…
It was already late at night when Gu Chen left Yan Shiliu's banquet.
There was nothing new in the conversation at the banquet. Yan Shiliu was just trying to win over Gu Chen on behalf of Jiange, and at the same time, he was testing whether the Chen clan had any trump card against the Mu clan.
Of course, Gu Chen wouldn't tell the truth, he was just pretending, after all, the other party didn't offer any real benefits for the time being.
This is considered the first contact between the two forces. Whether they can cooperate in depth depends on what happens next.
Returning to the room prepared for him in Hongying Villa, as soon as he opened the door and entered, Zhang Hao was already sitting, waiting for who knows how long.
"Brother Chen is quite popular now. The ancients have never deceived me. I have been apart for three days and should treat you with admiration."
Zhang Hao teased Gu Chen as soon as he saw him.
"Brother Zhang is joking. Actually, I don't want to be so high-profile."
Gu Chen smiled and sat down opposite Zhang Hao, pouring himself a cup of tea to clear his stomach.
"You are indeed not a high-profile person. Now that you choose to draw the sword, you must have some support, right?"
Zhang Hao got straight to the point and said with great care: "The main reason I came here today is to know how you came out of the Taichu Demon Mine alive?"
"Brother Zhang, if you want to know anything, just ask. I will tell you everything I know."
Logically speaking, this was a big secret, but Gu Chen's cheerful tone made Zhang Hao raise his eyebrows.
"So, Chen Sheng is really still alive and has entered the realm of Tao Ancestor?"
Zhang Hao had already made some guesses when he learned that Gu Chen had come to the Second Mountain, and now Gu Chen's tone confirmed his guess.
"Yes, our ancestors have become ancestors. Soon they will leave Taichu Demon Mine and return to the world."
Gu Chen told the truth that Yan Shiliu had not mentioned at all. In his eyes, Zhang Hao was the more important, long-term and stable ally.
Zhang Hao couldn't help but take a breath and praised: "Chen Daolin is really amazing and talented. He actually created a Taoist method that is not weaker than Taoist magic."
Only when the Tao he cultivates can be compared to the Taoist art, can Chen Daolin step into the Taoist realm, otherwise he will always be the ultimate saint.
Being in a place like Taiqi Palace with extremely rich cultivation resources, Zhang Hao can feel the terror of Chen Daolin even more. This is a truly top genius, rare to see in a million years!
"It is rare in ancient times to become an ancestor by slaying the Dao. Although your ancestors have just stepped into the Nine Vehicles Realm of Hedao, they are indeed qualified to challenge the Mu Ancestor."
"Ancestor Mu suppressed your ancestors in every way in the early years, and Li Tian forced you to enter the Taichu Demon Mine to die. The Chen clan and the Mu clan are already incompatible, so it's no wonder you have a showdown this time."
"But have you ever thought about it? Mu Zu has been arrogant and domineering for many years. What makes him powerful is not only his force, but also his connections."
"Your ancestors are strong, but without help, I'm afraid they will still be no match for Mu Zu in the end, and the Chen clan will not be able to truly rise in the Second Mountain and Sea."
"I know you met Yan Shiliu of Jiange tonight, but I want to tell you that Jiange can't help the Chen clan, and even the Sword Ancestor himself can't help."
Zhang Hao was rarely serious, and the way he looked at Gu Chen was different from before.
Before, he just thought that the other party might be useful to him and that he could look at it from a developmental perspective. Unexpectedly, the other party would develop to a level that made his heart beat!
"I understand what Brother Zhang means. I am willing to form an alliance with Brother Zhang and give him a big gift!" Gu Chen said.
The Mu Dynasty was able to develop to the point of being the most powerful among the Thirteen Dynasties, and Mu Anzu was able to be so militant, of course there were people in Taiqi Palace.
Any force that wants to truly gain a foothold in the Second Mountain and Sea must have the support of Taiqi Palace.
Although the Chen clan has a Taoist ancestor, if they are not recognized by Taiqi Palace, they will end up like the Yuanzu, who was besieged and died by the Taoist ancestors of the ten directions!
Gu Chen has already paved the way for subsequent development, and Zhang Hao and the people behind him are the best entry point!
"What kind of gift?"
When Zhang Hao heard Gu Chen's words, his eyes shone brightly. He who usually behaved calmly was no longer calm at this moment!
"Of course it's what Brother Zhang wants. Since I can come out of the Taichu Demon Mine alive, I won't let Brother Zhang down."
Gu Chen caught Zhang Hao's expression and knew that this ally was absolutely reliable.
"Where is the thing?"
Zhang Hao's expression became excited. When he learned that Gu Chen left the Taichu Demon Mine alive, he started to guess whether the other party could possibly get that thing!
That thing can be regarded as one of the treasures of Taiqi Palace!
"It's not with me for the time being. Brother Zhang, please be patient. When the ancestors leave the Taichu Demon Mine, they will naturally bring it to you, and I will hand it over to you personally."
Gu Chen made a promise to Zhang Hao, but Zhang Hao inevitably worried a little when he learned that he couldn't get it right away.
"Is this foolproof? That thing is difficult to deal with. Will there be any accidents?"
"Don't worry, you won't go wrong."
The confidence in Gu Chen's tone gradually made Zhang Hao feel relieved, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
Tonight's discussion was very enjoyable, without beating around the bush. As an ally, Chen Yunfei is aware of current affairs and is smart enough.
"Well, I'm waiting for your good news. If you have any difficulties during the Taoist meeting, just tell me!"
