The owner of Penglai Island stared at Gu Chen and saw that he didn't seem to be joking at all, so he muttered, "What is your purpose?"
There is no such thing as a free lunch. If Gu Chen wants to kill those two people for him, but does not want their wealth, he must have his own agenda, right?
He didn't believe that this kid was willing to help others and dedicated himself selflessly. The two of them had fought openly and secretly many times in the past, and this kid was a guy who couldn't afford to be early without any benefit.
The owner of Penglai Island would not dare to agree easily without understanding his plan!
"Actually, I came back to Fuwei Star for Li Fu. The island owner helped me sneak into the Li family, and I helped you kill people. It's fair." Gu Chen confessed.
"Li Fu..." The Penglai Island Master was choked. No one in the Li Clan dared to call him by this name. It turned out that Gu Chen was here for the ancestor of the Li family!
"The ancestors of the Li family are not easy to mess with. What if..." The owner of Penglai Island began to worry a lot, worried that something might go wrong with Gu Chen and he would be implicated.
"Island owner can rest assured that if an accident occurs, I will never involve you. Compared with the benefits you can get from helping me, this risk is completely worth it." Gu Chen could see the island owner's thoughts.
"Then all the wealth of the two people will be given to me?" The island owner struggled to confirm repeatedly.
"right."
"What if there is another creation in Xuyuan?"
"Fifty-fifty split."
Seeing how generous Gu Chen was, the owner of Penglai Island finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, what do you want to do? I listen to you!"
"It's very simple. You ask Li Xuanba out again tonight." Gu Chen said with a smile.
"You want to kill him and then pretend to be him and go to Xuyuan?" Penglai Island Master understood and asked worriedly. "Then Li Xuanba is extremely powerful. If you fail to assassinate him tonight, my plan will fail."
It's all ruined by you."
"As long as the island owner does what I say, there will be no accidents." Gu Chen said with a smile.
The owner of Penglai Island sighed, "Okay, I will risk my life to accompany you tonight."
…
The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the shore of the lake is ten miles away.
"What's going on? Are you so anxious to find me?" Li Xuanba came to the lake and saw Li Menglong standing alone in the shadows, his brows furrowed involuntarily.
Tomorrow is the day of selection, and we had just met him during the day. Li Menglong should have been recharging his energy at this moment, but he suddenly called himself out. It must be something urgent.
"Brother Xuanba, something happened unexpectedly. I'm afraid we won't be able to go to Xuyuan this time." Li Menglong said regretfully.
"What's going on? Why can't you go? Is Xuan Yu and his gang up to something again?"
Li Xuanba's expression tightened upon hearing this, and he took a few steps closer to Li Menglong, but at this moment, shadows shrouded the surroundings!
"Huh?" His expression changed, and he saw that the surrounding light was completely swallowed up, and with a whoosh, he fell into a dark abyss.
"Where is this?"
Li Xuanba was in the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers, his five senses were greatly weakened, and his body felt inexplicably chilly, and he couldn't help but feel like he was facing a formidable enemy.
"Li Menglong! Where are you and what are you doing?"
He said angrily, and before he knew it, a shadow quietly approached, and behind him, there was a loud sound of a knife...
The owner of Penglai Island stood there and watched with his own eyes as Li Xuanba was suddenly swallowed up by a shadow and then disappeared.
There was only a small black mist left in front of him, which made him feel uneasy and uneasy.
"Little friend Gu doesn't know if he can deal with Li Xuanba quietly. If he fails, Li Xuanba is not dead or attracts the attention of the powerful Li family, everything will be in trouble."
The owner of Penglai Island murmured that he had been working hard at Li's for so many years, and he really didn't want all his efforts to be wasted because of an accident tonight.
Reason told him that when he left Canghuang Ancient Star, Gu Chen was only slightly stronger than him. No matter how talented he was, it would be difficult to kill a God King now.
What's more, what he wants to do is to assassinate the God King quietly, which requires a strength that is at least several times more powerful than the opponent.
He accepted Gu Chen's proposal entirely out of past friendship and trust, as well as a little bit of confusion. But now that the matter was about to come, he could not help but worry about the gains and losses.
The uneasy mood of Penglai Island Master could not last even half a stick of incense. The black mist in front of him surged, and Gu Chen's figure walked out of it without any damage.
Seeing him appearing so quickly, the face of Penglai Island Master changed drastically. "Let Li Xuanba run away?"
Gu Chen came back too quickly, and the most likely result was that Li Xuanba ran away!
"He is already dead." Gu Chen replied calmly.
Just now, he used the ability of the Shadow Immortal Body to drag Li Xuanba into the shadow space, and then killed him as quickly as possible.
With his current melee strength, it would be easy to kill a mid-stage God King.
"Really or not? You are not fooling me, are you?" Upon hearing this, the Penglai Island Master was so shocked that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
Gu Chen saw that he didn't believe him, the shadow under his feet squirmed, and Li Xuanba's body slowly emerged.
He was almost killed with one blow, and the expression on his face was still in deep shock. It was obvious that he did not know who killed him until his death.
The owner of Penglai Island saw Li Xuanba dead with his own eyes, and looked at Gu Chen as if he were looking at a monster.
Although he had overestimated Gu Chen's growth over the years, he never expected that he had become so powerful!
When he said he was here for Li Fu before, he thought he was overestimating his abilities, but now he deeply understands that the gap between the other party and himself is so huge that it is unimaginable!
"Fortunately, I didn't fight you to the end."
The owner of Penglai Island smiled bitterly after a long time and said that he had thought about using Gu Chen as a furnace before, but fortunately he gave up in the end, otherwise he would not know how he died.
"I have already searched this person's memory. In order to avoid missing anything, please tell me everything you know about him."
Golden light surged from Gu Chen's body, and he quickly transformed into Li Xuanba's appearance, without any flaws.
The owner of Penglai Island came back to his senses and told everything about Li Xuanba. "This Li Xuanba is born with great strength and is good at using double hammers. He is deeply loved by the elders of the Li clan..."
"No, something was overlooked!"
The face of Penglai Island Master suddenly changed and he said anxiously, "This Li Xuanba has a red flame dragon horse. It is a divine horse that he got by chance when he was a child. It is extremely extraordinary."
"I heard that this divine horse is extremely psychic, and he grew up with Li Xuanba. Even if Gu Xiaoyou's disguise can hide it from others, it will be difficult to hide it!"
"In the past, Li Xuanba would always ride it to travel, but it has disappeared recently, so I didn't even think of it before!"
Gu Chen listened to what the Penglai Island Master said and quickly searched for information about the red flame dragon horse in Li Xuanba's memory.
"The dragon horse was borrowed by the elders of the Li clan and went to Xuyuan one step ahead of schedule."
He quickly found its whereabouts and couldn't help but frown.
