Chapter 1495
"You worry too much. What happened just now was just a misunderstanding. Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, everything will be fine. The Old Man promises that they won't be dissatisfied with you."
Gu Chen was unwilling to let them go. Tian Chanzi hurriedly smiled apologetically and winked at Left Emissary Ruan and the others.
Left Emissary Ruan also knew that he had to lower his head under the eaves. She gritted her teeth and said, "Today was indeed a misunderstanding. We have no enmity with you. Please be magnanimous!"
As soon as she finished speaking, her companions lowered their heads reluctantly.
"Misunderstanding? How could there be so many misunderstandings? "
Gu Chen laughed sarcastically. Apparently, he didn't buy it.
Tian Chanzi was embarrassed for a moment. This matter had arisen because of him, and he couldn't clean it up now. What should he do?
Gu Chen's eyes flickered as he thought about how to deal with this group of people.
To be safe, he should kill all of them and put an end to it once and for all.
However, if he did that, he would probably offend Tian Chanzi, and his plan to recruit him would be ruined.
After thinking about it, the relationship between Tian Chanzi and this group of people was somewhat ambiguous. It was better to figure out the reason first before making a decision.
"Grandmaster, can I have a word with you?" Gu Chen took the initiative to say.
"Of course, this way, please!"
Tian Chanzi thought that things had taken a turn for the better.
Therefore, Gu Chen asked his companions to guard Left Emissary Ruan and the others, while he and the hunchbacked old man followed Tian Chanzi to his residence.
The boy brought tea again. Gu Chen looked at Tian Chanzi's residence calmly, while Tian Chanzi looked a little uneasy.
Tian Chanzi decided not to mention the release of the group of people and asked politely, "I still don't know your name, Your Excellency."
"My surname is Chen," Gu Chen said casually.
"So it's Fellow Daoist Chen."
Tian Chanzi nodded and then looked at the hunchbacked old man. "Fellow Daoist Nameless, how was the Yulong Pill refined by the Old Man?"
"Grandmaster's alchemy skills have reached perfection. The Old Man admires you very much," the hunchbacked old man replied with a smile.
Tian Chanzi relaxed a lot when he heard this. It seemed that his alchemy skills were still worth a lot of face.
He wasn't stupid. This group of people in front of him had come to visit him and even said that they had a pill recipe passed down from the Ancient Underworld Era for him. This meant that they had something to ask of him.
What could they ask for? Naturally, it was their alchemy skills!
As long as he had this bargaining chip, he believed that he would be able to convince the young man in front of him to give him face and release Envoy of the Left and the others.
"Fellow Chen, Fellow Nameless, you came to visit the Old Man. You must have something to ask of him, right?"
Tian Chanzi began to put on airs and put aside the embarrassment he felt when he was taken away.
When Gu Chen saw that his aura had suddenly changed, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart. This person's skin was really thick.
If it weren't for the previous incident, he would only think that Tian Chanzi was putting on airs because he was a noble person and would naturally be more courteous.
However, after the episode just now, Gu Chen knew very well that he already had a handle on the other party.
Now that the other party asked them why they were here, it was clear that he wanted to return to the original unequal position. How could Gu Chen let him have his way?
"Originally, I wanted to ask Grandmaster for a little help, but given the current situation, it seems that Grandmaster can't even take care of himself. We'd better not disturb you."
Gu Chen said flatly. His words made the hunchbacked old man next to him look strange.
Tian Chanzi's face suddenly froze. Not asking for help?
Did this kid think that he was in trouble and didn't want to get involved? Or did he see through my intentions and want to advance by retreating?
This wouldn't do. What should I do with the excuse I've prepared in my heart?!
"Ahem, since you're here, tell me what you want, Fellow Daoist Chen."
"Fellow Daoist Chen helped the Old Man just now. The Old Man has to return the favor."
"It's not that the Old Man is bragging, but in the entire Chaotic Sea, there are only a few people who can compare with the Old Man in alchemy. Others may not be able to help Fellow Daoist Chen."
Tian Chanzi's eyes were arrogant, and his words were filled with warning.
"Grandmaster's alchemy skills are indeed second to none, but my request is extremely demanding. If Grandmaster is entangled with trivial matters, I really can't rest assured."
Gu Chen shook his head regretfully.
"What trivial matters? It was just a misunderstanding. How could it affect the Old Man's alchemy level? "
Tian Chanzi was a little annoyed. That was questioning his authority!
The hunchbacked old man sat on the side, listening to the sharp conversation between the two. He finally understood what Gu Chen was thinking.
He was trying to suppress Tian Chanzi's arrogance and prepare to subdue him.
However, if such behavior was not handled properly, it would backfire.
The hunchbacked old man did not interrupt. He had created an opportunity to meet Tian Chanzi. As for how to subdue him, that was what a leader should do.
He could take this opportunity to observe whether his leader had any shortcomings in other aspects, apart from his profound cultivation and extremely high talent.
"It seems that I can't get along with Grandmaster today. I'd better take my leave now!"
Gu Chen and Tian Chanzi talked for a while. The more they talked, the more upset he became. All his plans fell through. Then, he suddenly got up and said that he was leaving.
"Wait!"
Tian Chanzi's eyes widened. This guy is really fearless. Is he really not going to ask for my help?
"Is there anything else, Grandmaster?" Gu Chen asked coldly.
Tian Chanzi met his eyes and immediately lost his temper. He sighed. "Fellow Daoist Chen, how are you going to deal with those people?"
He finally spoke frankly. He also realized that the moment he raised the question, he had already lost the whole negotiation.
Gu Chen said without hesitation, "In order to not leave any future troubles, of course, I'll kill them all."
"Fellow Daoist Chen, please think twice. Those people are not to be trifled with!" Tian Chanzi hurriedly said.
"Oh? I wonder where that group of people came from? How did Grandmaster get involved with them? "Gu Chen said thoughtfully.
After going around in circles, Tian Chanzi finally agreed.
Tian Chanzi shook his head and his expression became serious. "Fellow Daoist Chen, have you heard of the Chi Prefecture?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Chen's pupils suddenly shrank!
"Chi Prefecture? The Old Man has a general understanding of the Chaos Sea's hundred prefectures, but I have never heard of such a force. "
While Gu Chen was silent, the hunchbacked old man answered while stroking his chin.
"This Chi Prefecture is very mysterious. The Old Man only came into contact with it by chance 055 years ago. Although this force is not as powerful as the prefectures controlled by the Dao Lords, it has a large number of internal members. The group of people you captured belongs to the Chi Prefecture.
"The woman in the lead is the Left Emissary of the Chi Prefecture. She has a high status. If you kill her and her people, you will definitely be hunted by the Chi Prefecture."
Tian Chanzi said with a face full of fear.
"No wonder …"
