"Senior Jingxu, is this what you once said about the origin of Lan Ming and my hegemonic clan?"
Gu Chen looked at Taoist Jingxu and remembered the first time he knew Lan Ming's name.
At that time, they were planning to use the sleepwalking technique on the old woman in Futian Pavilion. Therefore, Taoist Jingxu reminded Lan Ming that he also mastered the dream performance technique and was most likely to see through their methods.
The Dwarf Emperor once asked whether Lan Ming's relationship with the Ba Clan was good or bad, but Daozu Jingxu's answer was that it was hard to tell!
It stands to reason that since Lan Ming is from the Holy Family, he must have a bad relationship with the Overlord Clan. However, Jingxu Daozu cannot be sure, indicating that there are other things affecting his judgment.
Taoist Jingxu nodded, and Gu Chen immediately asked, feeling puzzled.
"The relationship between the Holy Family and Master Lanming is known to many big figures in the Taoist world. But it is not them who become one of the Hongmeng Group, but Chongming Tower."
"The Chongming Tower was established by Lord Lanming. Lord Lanming did not rely on the power of the Holy Family since he rose to the position of Lord. On the contrary, it was the Holy Family that used the power of the Holy Family to strengthen themselves after the rise of Lord Lanming, which is why it became
The overlord of the Sixth Mountain and Sea."
"There is a saying that Lord Lan Ming did not live well in the Holy Family since he was a child, so he left the Holy Family early. This is why the relationship between the two is not known to most people in the world."
Gu Chen looked at the broken dagger in his hand. If Lan Ming was used as a blood-drawing tool by the Holy Family and tortured when he was young, it would not be surprising that he would leave the Holy Family.
"Can Lan Ming tolerate the pretense of the Holy Family?"
Gu Chen asked.
"As for the relationship between the Holy Family and Master Lan Ming, he has never publicly admitted it, but he has never denied it. He has never helped the Holy Family, but with the influence of the Lord, as long as he does not deny it, the Holy Family is equivalent to having
Got a gold medal to avoid death."
"It's hard to let go of things like blood ties. Maybe Master Lanming is nostalgic for old friendships, or maybe he doesn't care about being used at all. After all, he and Chongming Tower have always kept a low profile, and even the forces under his own control rarely interfere."
Gu Chen pondered after hearing this. Lan Ming's attitude towards the Holy Family was very subtle.
"Since Master Lan Ming is not that close to the Holy Family, his hostility towards the Overlords is naturally not that deep."
"Coupled with some of his past behaviors, I feel that his relationship with the Overlord Clan may not necessarily be bad."
"Senior, are you referring to the matter between the Martial Saint and the rebel army?"
"Yes, the crime of martial saint Gu Xinghao colluding with the rebel army was personally planned by the Holy Family, who originally planned to eradicate the overlords."
"Martial Saint died and the Overlord clan was expelled into the Sea of Chaos. On the surface, it looked very tragic, but in fact it was a good result. After all, the Overlord clan was in too much decline at that time."
"The reason for this result is because Lord Lan Ming personally intervened. It is extremely rare for Lord Lan Ming to interfere in such a matter!"
What Jingxu Taoist Ancestor said was exactly what Gu Chen had been thinking about during this period. He couldn't help but say: "Senior Jingxu, do you think Lan Ming may be a friend rather than an enemy?"
Jingxu Daozu hesitated for a moment and said cautiously: "Lan Ming has the bloodline to restrain the overlords, but the nine generations of overlords have allowed him to survive!"
Mo Xiaoyun frowned when he heard this, and retorted: "Lan Ming also attacked Gu Chen before, Wu Sheng was harmed by him, and his heart was taken away by him. It cannot be because he gave the Ba clan a life
If there is no way out, we will decide that he is a friend rather than an enemy. Perhaps it is just the master's arrogance or compassion, or there may be some other conspiracy!"
Gu Chen didn't pay much attention to Mo Xiaoyun's words. Jingxu Daozu's words that the nine generations of hegemons had kept Lan Ming alive were like the sound of a bell, deafening and enlightening.
The first generation Overlord saw the birth of the Nine Seeds, and must have also seen the birth of Lan Ming, knowing the threat he posed to the Overlord Clan.
With the unique strength of the first generation overlord Ming Gu, if he wanted to kill Lan Ming and avoid future troubles forever, he would definitely not be able to be stopped by the Holy Ancestor!
However, Lan Ming survived. Although he did not know the specific circumstances of that day, his survival showed the attitude of the first generation of Overlord.
Jingxu Taoist Patriarch's mind was like a demon, and Gu Chen somewhat believed in his judgment, because if it weren't for this, some things couldn't be explained at all.
When he and his friends crossed the boundary sea, Lan Ming discovered them.
With the huge gap in cultivation between him and him at that time, he should have discovered his identity as Yaogu Tyrant Body long ago.
But he didn't take any action, just took a look and left.
He neither prevented him from entering the Taoist world, nor did he have a desperate army to hunt them down after they entered the Taoist world. If Lan Ming was hostile, he would not be able to survive!
Lan Ming may have known his trajectory in the Taoist world for a long time. When Gu Chen realized this for the first time, he was shuddering.
If Lan Ming was a friend rather than an enemy, all this would make sense, but...
Gu Chen recalled the process of competing with the masters. Lan Ming's attack on him could be understood as because he did not want to expose his identity, but why did he want to save Fang Yuan?
There are too many mysteries about this man, and his position is unclear. He, Fang Yuan, other masters, and even this world and the Sea of Chaos may all be part of his plan!
Gu Chen didn't dare to judge Lan Ming's position easily, let alone take it lightly. He might be a careerist like Fang Yuan back then...
"How is the situation with the old woman at Futian Pavilion?"
Gu Chen closed his eyes and thought for a long time, then opened his eyes and asked.
The old woman in Futian Pavilion had been given the sleepwalking technique by Taoist Jingxu earlier. Now as the situation changed, she naturally became their undercover agent in Futian Pavilion.
Gu Chen wanted to rescue Zuo Chunqiu, but he was always concerned about his safety.
It was really hard for him to accept that Zuo Chunqiu had become a member of Futian Pavilion outside the Life Dojo.
In fact, after he ended in a draw with the masters, he had not considered threatening the masters to hand over Zuo Chunqiu.
It's just that the masters may not do what he wants. If they know that they care about Zuo Chunqiu, it may put Zuo Chunqiu in danger.
In addition, Zuo Chunqiu knew his secret, but he did not reveal it after joining Futian Pavilion. There must be something hidden in it. Gu Chen judged that he was safe for the time being, so he did not ask anyone.
Contacting Zuo Chunqiu through the old woman to determine the next step was a task given to Taoist Jingxu by Gu Chen.
"Futian Pavilion is not easy to penetrate. It may take some time to contact Zuo Chunqiu and determine his true situation."
Jingxu Taoist replied.
The monks in Futian Pavilion are all controlled by Futian Seal. They are usually wherever the mission is. It is not as easy as imagined to contact other people.
Even if they meet, how to judge whether Zuo Chunqiu is under control is still a difficult problem for Jingxu Daozu.
"There's no rush, you have to be careful about this matter."
Gu Chen also knew that Futian Pavilion, as a direct subordinate of the original five masters, would be more difficult to infiltrate than to reach the sky. He was extremely lucky to have the old woman as a flaw.
