Chapter 1497

Tian Chanzi looked unhappy, but Gu Chen was not surprised.

Judging from his attitude towards Chi Jun, it would not be easy to win him over.

In fact, the current situation was very fortunate for Gu Chen. If the incident with Chi Jun had not happened today, it would have been difficult for him to subdue Tian Chanzi by any means.

But now, whether Tian Chanzi was willing or not, Gu Chen was confident that he could pull him onto his pirate ship.

Tian Chanzi's will was not firm, and he was reluctant to give up his original life. But in any case, since he had provoked Chi Jun, he should understand that he could not go back to his old days.

What he needed to do now was to give him better treatment than Chi Jun and make him completely submit to him.

He did not expect Tian Chanzi to immediately become like his other companions, but at least he wanted him to stay by his side.

As long as he stayed by his side, he could help him refine pills. As for sincerely submitting to him, it was only a matter of time!

Gu Chen's heart was as clear as a mirror. He signaled the hunchbacked old man with his eyes.

Although the hunchbacked old man still did not understand Gu Chen's actions, how could a cunning old man like him not know what to do?

He coughed and said to Tian Chanzi with a smile. "Grandmaster, don't worry. Following us is not like submitting to Chi Jun. We won't ask you to do anything you don't want to do.

"You are still free. When this matter is over, you can leave at any time.

"Old Man, here are a few pill recipes handed down from the Ancient Underworld Era. I have been looking for an opportunity to communicate with you, Grandmaster."

Upon hearing this, Tian Chanzi's originally hesitant face showed a hint of interest, and he looked at Gu Chen. "Really? Can the Old Man really leave just like that? "

"Of course, Grandmaster, you are just a guest."

Gu Chen nodded with a smile, secretly thinking that the hunchbacked old man's assistance was just right.

What Tian Chanzi cared about most was his freedom. How could he, who only wanted to refine pills, be willing to be tied down by worldly affairs?

Therefore, as long as they promised him this, it would be much better than forcibly taking him away from Chi Jun.

Coupled with the pill recipe from the Ancient Netherworld Era as bait, there was no need to worry that he wouldn't take the bait.

Gu Chen was not worried that Tian Chanzi would really leave when the time came, because his biggest purpose in recruiting him was to help him refine pills. In fact, Tian Chanzi's life would not change much if he went to his place.

Moreover, he was confident that the conditions he could offer Tian Chanzi would surely make Tian Chanzi slowly give up the idea of leaving.

"If that's the case, then the Old Man is willing to follow you for the time being."

Tian Chanzi pondered for a moment. There was no better way than this, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.

Seeing him agree, Gu Chen and the hunchbacked old man couldn't help but smile at each other.

This trip to the Golden Toad World was much smoother than he had imagined.

"Fellow cultivator Chen, since the Old Man is willing to go with you, you have to keep your promise and let Ruan Zuo and the others go."

Tian Chanzi was worried that Gu Chen was deceiving him, so he reminded him.

"Master, don't worry. I'll do what I say. I'll let them go now."

Gu Chen got up and walked to the place where the group of people from the Chi Commandery were imprisoned.

The hunchbacked old man and Tian Chanzi hurriedly followed behind him.

"Leader, although you can easily recruit Tian Chanzi by doing this, you'll also make a big enemy of the Chi Commandery. It's not a good choice, is it?"

On the way, the hunchbacked old man's voice entered Gu Chen's mind.

He didn't understand. Although it was important to recruit Tian Chanzi, letting those people go would leave behind future troubles.

He had a feeling that Gu Chen had other ideas, so he simply asked him directly.

Gu Chen walked ahead and heard the hunchbacked old man's Divine Sense transmission. His face didn't change, but he also used the Secret Voice-sending Technique.

"Senior, do you think it'll be easy for us to strengthen our forces according to your plan in our current situation?"

The hunchbacked old man raised his eyebrows thoughtfully. "The forces in the Chaotic Sea have been stable for many years. Now that we're wanted, it's not easy to strengthen our forces."

"In that case, what do you think of the Chi Commandery, Senior?" Gu Chen asked again.

"You mean …" The hunchbacked old man's eyes lit up. He suddenly understood Gu Chen's idea!

"I've known about the Chi Commandery before. Its internal organization is very loose, but it can indeed be called a huge force. If we can absorb this force, we can grow stronger in a very short time. "

"They already have ready-made intelligence channels and combat power, but their internal members don't have a strong sense of belonging to the organization. Don't we want to eat such a fat piece of meat?"

Gu Chen's words were very straightforward, and the hunchbacked old man was immediately tempted.

Indeed, compared to putting in effort to manage their own forces, if they could absorb the Chi Commandery force, they would save a lot of time and energy!

The Boundary Sea was about to open, and they didn't have much time left. This was the best choice!

"So that's how it is. Leader doesn't really want to let those people go, but wants to use them to further contact the Chi Commandery. This is really killing two birds with one stone. Not only can we subdue Tian Chanzi, but we can also look forward to the Chi Commandery! "

The hunchbacked old man involuntarily felt a sense of admiration in his heart. Although Gu Chen was young, the wisdom and courage he showed were incomparable to many old immortals.

"Judging from the situation of those people we captured today, there are many people in the Chi Commandery, including many experts. It will be difficult for us to take them down with our strength.

"Especially that Chi Mo, we don't know exactly how strong he is!"

The hunchbacked old man began to consider the next specific plan for Gu Chen, and his heart was filled with a long-lost excitement.

"It's because we don't know enough about the Chi Commandery that we have to let those people go."

"Later, secretly tell the Dragonfly Monster to track the group of people. Don't lose them."

Gu Chen instructed.

The Dragonfly Monster was one of the top ten criminals who followed him on Prison Star. In terms of combat strength, it was much weaker than the Patriarch of the Devouring Kun Clan and Zhong Shenruo, and usually kept a low profile.

However, he had a unique ability when it came to tracking and scouting. His pair of demonic compound eyes were even more useful than his Deep Sea Purple Polar Eyes in many situations.

"The Old Man understands. Don't worry, leader. With the help of the Dragonfly Monster, this matter won't be messed up."

The hunchbacked old man replied with a smile.

The three soon arrived at the place where Left Emissary Ruan and the others were imprisoned. The hunchbacked old man followed Gu Chen's instructions and quietly told the Dragonfly Monster what to do.

Meanwhile, Gu Chen ordered his companions to release the people of the Chi Commandery under the nose of Tian Chanzi.

"Leader, are we just going to let this group of people go?"

The Evil Shark Emperor's face was full of surprise and reluctance.

"Didn't you hear my order?" Gu Chen glanced at him coldly.

The Evil Shark Emperor immediately gritted his teeth. Although he was unwilling, he still carried out his order.

Left Emissary Ruan and the others heaved a sigh of relief when the restrictions on them were lifted.

Gu Chen set them free and then said in a flat tone.

"Today, for the sake of Grandmaster Tian Chanzi, I'll spare your lives."

"But remember, Grandmaster Tian Chanzi is my companion from now on. If you dare to do anything to him, I'll kill you without mercy!"

Although Gu Chen's words were flat, the killing intent in them was not fake. The expressions of Left Emissary Ruan and the others changed when they heard this.

"Is there a problem?" Gu Chen asked again. His companions looked at him with unfriendly eyes.

"No problem!"

Left Emissary Ruan clenched his teeth. He felt greatly humiliated, but he could only endure it.

"Let's go!"
