Upon arriving at Dingkong Mountain, Chen Shanming and many elders immediately greeted him. Even Chen Daolin, who was in the dark and had not yet announced his return to the public, walked out of his cave.
"Yunfei, what happened at Hongying Villa?"
Many elders asked eagerly and curiously.
After Chen Shanming and the second elder returned from Hongying Villa ahead of schedule, the Chen clan began to prepare urgently for war, top to bottom, ready to deal with the herdsmen!
Who would have thought that despite the intensive preparations here, the situation in the second mountain over there is getting more and more weird.
First, there were rumors that people from Taiqi Palace had arrived at Hongying Villa, and then there were rumors that Jingsheng was dead and that a peerless demon had broken out of the forbidden area on the Second Mountain.
After that, spies from all forces withdrew from the Second Mountain area one after another, retreating further and further away. A strange atmosphere began to pervade the entire Second Mountain Sea.
In this atmosphere, the conflict between the Chen clan and the Mu clan seems to be unimportant. According to the spies, there is no sign of troop mobilization from the Mu clan!
With the status and status of the Chen clan elders and elite disciples, they have no way of knowing the truth about the Second Mountain and can only make random guesses.
Now that Gu Chen is back, they naturally want to break the casserole and get to the bottom of it.
"Gu Chen, Zhang Hao has been in our ancient city of the Chen clan for a few days. If he doesn't trade, he should be suspicious."
Before Gu Chen could answer the elders, Chen Daolin's voice entered his mind through the air.
Chen Daolin has been living in his cave since his return. As for the news of his return, only a few important elders know about it.
Hearing this, Gu Chen nodded from the distance.
Zhang Hao's movements were quite fast. It seemed that he couldn't wait to take Death Qi away.
Fortunately, the cooperation with Taiqi Palace must be finalized as soon as possible.
"Excuse me for now, everyone."
Gu Chen left immediately without saying anything to the elders. Chen Daolin stepped out of Dingkong Mountain and was waiting for him at the bottom of the mountain.
Seeing Yunfei's cold attitude, some elders couldn't help but feel disappointed, and some complained in addition to their disappointment.
They all know Yunfei Tianzong's appearance. It is said that even Litian Holy King is not his opponent. If the legendary list is reopened, he will definitely be among the top three.
But no matter how strong they are, these people are considered elders after all, so it is quite displeasing to be so negligent!
"Okay, Yunfei is troubled by everything, so don't bother him. I will tell you everything you can say, and there is no point in asking you more questions about what you can't."
Chen Wenfeng stood up, showed his true face, and answered for Gu Chen.
He could see the little thoughts of these elders and sighed secretly.
It would be nice if Chen Yunfei was really Chen Yunfei, but he is not.
On the surface, Gu Chen is just an elder of his Chen clan, but the actual situation now is that he is an ally of the Chen clan!
And this ally is very unusual. He is no longer in a peer-to-peer state. The one who is directly contacting the other party now is the ancestor!
No matter how good your allies are, they are not as good as your own family members. You must pay more attention to propriety when getting along with each other.
However, he cannot directly tell the elders this. At this stage, Chen Yunfei's identity is still a secret and cannot be disclosed to the public.
The only one who can understand Chen Wenfeng is Chen Shanming. The two of them know that no matter how kind Gu Chen appears on the surface, they cannot lack the respect he deserves.
"Clan leader! You are really alive!"
"In the past few years since you have been away, I have really had enough of Chen Qinghe!"
When the elders saw the clan leader who they thought was dead, they cried with joy, and in a blink of an eye they forgot about the unhappiness they had just felt.
Gu Chen took a few steps to the foot of the mountain, and then flew with Chen Daolin to the ancient city of the Chen clan below.
The two used a blinding technique to prevent the monks in Dingkong Mountain and the ancient city from seeing them.
"Does Wen Feng know your true identity?"
Chen Daolin asked on the way.
Gu Chen shook his head. "I haven't told him yet."
What Chen Daolin asked was, of course, the truth about Gu Chennai's Yao Guba body, and of course, the fewer people who knew about this, the better.
"That's good. In the eyes of the world, it's best that you are just Chen Yunfei, the young patriarch of my Chen clan for the time being."
Chen Daolin nodded. It wasn't that he didn't trust his people, but that this matter was too sensitive.
He promised that the Third Patriarch of the Overlord Clan would be Gu Chen's protector and would make sure that he was infallible.
In order to protect Gu Chen's identity from being exposed, he would not hesitate to sacrifice the entire Chen clan!
This kind of thinking may be difficult for ordinary people to understand, but at his level, the concept of blood and family ties has actually become thinner.
What's more, as long as he is alive, the Chen clan can be re-established at any time, and if the Ba clan rises again, it will be of great significance to him.
Those five masters were so overwhelming that all the monks in the world could not breathe. In his opinion, only Yaogu Ba Ti had the ability to break the shackles.
"Young patriarch? That's fine. It's reasonable."
Gu Chen was slightly stunned and quickly understood what Chen Daolin meant.
Chen Yunfei's edge has been revealed, and with the rise of the Chen clan, his light is destined to be even more dazzling.
With his talent and strength, it would be strange not to be appointed as the future clan leader.
He even has the prestige to be the clan leader now, but it's just not necessary.
"Did Zhang Hao come alone?"
Looking down at the ancient city of the Chen people, Gu Chen found that the ancient city was much more lively than before.
In recent years, Chen Qinghe's tenure as clan leader has not been without political achievements. Because of his good relationship with the herders, the herders have not hindered the development of the Chen clan, allowing the Chen clan to grow a lot by absorbing nutrients from the corpses of the Baqi Holy Land.
Today, the Chen clan is no longer poor and weak, and has the capital to expand externally.
"I didn't sense the breath of other masters, that's probably it. Of course, it's also possible that the person in the dark is so powerful that I don't even notice it."
Chen Daolin conservatively estimated that there were so many masters in Taiqi Palace, how could he, a new Taoist ancestor, dare to claim to have insight into everything.
"For such an important matter as trading Taichu Tianzun's Death Qi, if Zhang Hao comes alone, can the people behind him rest assured?"
Gu Chen frowned slightly.
If Zhang Hao really came here alone, it means that the forces behind Zhang Hao obviously don't pay enough attention to them.
Considering the value of Death Qi, this is a bit negligent.
"Although Death Qi is good, it is also a hot potato. Except for the insiders of Taiqi Palace, no one else dares to make an idea."
"Besides, what happened to Fang Yuan happened recently. I'm afraid the senior officials of Taiqi Palace are paying attention to the happiness and anger of the masters. It's not surprising that they don't have the intention to come in person."
Chen Daolin guessed.
"What a pity." Gu Chen sighed.
"What's the pity?"
"I originally wanted to find out the identity of the person behind Zhang Hao. Does this person have any intersection with Fang Yuan?"
Gu Chen said casually, and Chen Daolin was shocked to hear it.
"Is this possible?"
"It is not impossible that Fang Yuan has colluded with the senior officials within Taiqi Palace, and the people behind Zhang Hao have concealed the clues about the heart-shaped stone and have been coveting the great arts."
"No matter whether they are the same person or not, or whether they are accomplices, they are not good birds anyway."
