Chapter 1423

Hearing this, Marquis Huanyang's eyes flickered and he stopped the soldiers who were about to drag Peng Fu away.

"Fellow Daoist Sha, why don't you listen to Peng Fu again? After all, the story Frined Gu told before has a lot to discuss," he suggested.

Sha Luo Man pondered for a moment and looked at Gu Chen. "Frined Gu, you won't feel uncomfortable like this, will you?"

Gu Chen's face was expressionless and he only replied with four words. "The innocent will be innocent."

Peng Fu stayed behind and looked at Gu Chen with resentment. "Fellow Daoists, how did Gu Chen explain what happened in the secret place?"

For Peng Fu, what he needed to do now was to drag Gu Chen down with him. He also believed that Gu Chen definitely wasn't innocent.

The other party had been hiding his strength all this time, so he believed that such a scheming person must be plotting something big.

As long as he understood what happened later in the secret place, he would definitely be able to find a loophole in the other party's story!

"Let me tell the story Frined Gu told before to Peng Fu, so that Frined Gu won't have to go through the trouble."

Marquis Huanyang was very proactive and spoke frankly with assurance.

"According to Frined Gu, after he captured you, he followed the movement of the insectoids and discovered the existence of the Insect King."

"The old Black Tortoise also fell for the Insect King's trick and was controlled."

"In order to deal with the threat of the Insect King, all the cultivators in the secret place joined forces and entered the nest of the insectoids to surround and kill the Insect King."

"Unexpectedly, the insectoids were much stronger than expected. Most of the cultivators died inside, including the Thunder Region's Dharma King Yang and the old Black Tortoise."

"The Insect King attracted the head spirit in the process of fighting with the cultivators. As the two world champions of the secret place, they had long since clashed and wanted to kill the other party. This time, they were serious."

"In the end, the Insect King and the Head Spirit were both injured. The Insect King died, while the Head Spirit was sealed by the people of Sword Commandery. Most of the treasures in the secret place fell into the hands of Sword Commandery."

"As for Frined Gu, he might have been good at hiding during the whole process. Luckily, he didn't die in the chaotic battle. In the end, he took advantage of the collapse of the mysterious land of chaos to escape."

What the Marquis of Huanyang said was basically the version given by Gu Chen, but his words were filled with sarcasm.

In his opinion, if what Gu Chen said was true, and so many experts had died, but he was still alive, it could only mean that he was very good at dragging out an ignoble existence.

Peng Fu listened carefully. Gu Chen's story matched up with what he remembered, especially the matter of the head beast. Back then, he and the old Black Tortoise thought that the Kui Ox was the head beast, but in the end, it attracted an additional insect tide, which confused him.

Now that he listened carefully, he realized that there were so many secrets.

Because he had personally experienced the situation in the secret land, he actually felt that what Gu Chen said should be true.

However, whether it was true or false, did he care?

His goal was to drag that detestable guy down with him. He didn't care about anything else!

Peng Fu organized his thoughts, and his lips curled into a disdainful smile as he pretended to be certain. "Everyone, do you really believe such a ridiculous story?"

Everyone was surprised. Peng Fu seemed to be very confident. Could it be that he had discovered some loophole in Gu Chen's story?

Gu Chen looked at Peng Fu calmly. He didn't think that Peng Fu could find the truth, because the story he told was 45% true.

The only 65% false was about the Chaotic Golden Lightning Bamboo, and Peng Fu didn't even know about its existence!

"I haven't seen the insect king and head spirit before, so I don't dare to speak carelessly. However, I know the old Black Tortoise and the Thunder Commandery's Yang Yongxing's strength very well.

"Yang Yongxing's strength is at the eighth tier of the Dao Querying Realm, and the old Black Tortoise is an expert at the ninth tier of the Dao Querying Realm. If the insect king and head spirit are stronger than them, then everyone should be able to imagine how dangerous the secret land was."

Peng Fu analyzed calmly, and his eyes were full of mockery. "Forgive me for being blunt, but in such a dangerous situation, with Gu Chen's strength, there's no way he could have survived!"

His words were so convincing that everyone's imagination ran wild.

"Although this Gu Chen captured me, he used a sneak attack. He's not much stronger than me."

"If he didn't have anyone's help, would it have been possible for him to escape from such a dangerous secret land?"

"And there's something that everyone might not know. At that time, it wasn't that easy to leave the chaotic secret land. The old Black Tortoise and I each had a dao talisman that could ensure that we could leave the secret land safely. This Gu Chen was most likely able to leave because of the dao talisman. "

"Then the question is, with the old Black Tortoise's strength, how did he snatch the dao talisman from him?"

Peng Fu smiled coldly and didn't speak again, leaving everyone to ponder on their own.

Sometimes, it was easier for people to believe things if they didn't say it directly and let others guess it themselves.

"Peng Fu, do you mean that the old Black Tortoise didn't die at all, and Gu Chen only managed to leave the secret land by working with him?"

The Marquis of Huanyang followed Peng Fu's train of thought and said with narrowed eyes.

"That's right! With Gu Chen's strength, it's impossible for him to leave the secret land alive. With the old Black Tortoise's help, everything makes sense! "

Peng Fu couldn't wait for others to follow his train of thought, so he quickly added.

"If that's the case, why did Frined Gu come back? Isn't he afraid of being exposed? "Ouyang Mo frowned and spoke for Gu Chen.

"That's where this guy is the most scheming!"

Peng Fu said anxiously, "He knows that if he leaves, he'll offend the two giants, Xing County and Lei County. In that case, no matter how big his gains are, how can he stay in the world?"

"But if he brings me back, it'll be different. He can blame me as much as he wants, and he can even cover for his companion, Old Black Tortoise, to escape. When the limelight is over, the two of us can split the gains in the secret land!"

Peng Fu's train of thought was to frame Gu Chen. It was strange, but it sounded so reasonable.

Gu Chen listened with a faint smile. Peng Fu's blind guess was right in some areas, such as using him as a scapegoat and that he had a companion.

However, this companion wasn't the old Black Tortoise, but Chu Meixin from Sword County.

It was a pity that he only knew the old Black Tortoise. Now, he was trying his best to tie himself to the old Black Tortoise and go to hell with him!

Peng Fu's intention to drag Gu Chen down was very obvious, but what he said made sense. Everyone present fell into a moment of silence.

"Peng Fu might not be clean, but what he said about Frined Gu isn't without reason."

Marquis Huanyang didn't like Gu Chen to begin with, so he immediately added insult to injury.

"Everyone, think about it. With Frined Gu's strength, it's one thing to say that he took advantage of the chaos to escape from the secret land, but he also said that he broke through the blockade of Lei County. Do you believe him?"

"Him? That Holy King Qingcang's Ultimate Green Thunder Eyes is so powerful, how can he deal with it? "

"There must be a big secret behind this. I suggest we search him and interrogate him severely!"
