Left Emissary Ruan's words made a lot of sense. The middle-aged cultivator who made the suggestion immediately shut his mouth.
The others were silent for a while. How could they deal with this group of troublesome enemies?
Elder Xiao's eyes flickered as he suddenly said, "We don't necessarily have to deal with the Overlord and his gang. Maybe there's a way to satisfy both sides."
"Elder Xiao, you mean …" Everyone was puzzled.
"Although the Overlord and his gang seem to be famous now, they are actually weak and helpless under the pursuit of the two counties."
"My Chi Commandery is destined to compete with the other commanderies. I might be able to make use of such a powerful force," Ye Futian said.
"If we can subdue the Overlord and his gang, Tian Chanzi will naturally come back!"
Elder Xiao's words were full of ambition, but it gave everyone a fright.
"Is it possible to subdue the Overlord? We were beaten to a pulp just now. "Many cultivators were doubtful and felt that the idea was too unrealistic.
"I object!"
Left Emissary Ruan firmly rejected the suggestion compared to those who doubted it.
"Elder Xiao, have you forgotten about Elder Xuan Wu?"
Left Emissary Ruan's face was solemn, and there was some hatred in his eyes.
"Chi County has been planning for a long time for the creation of the mysterious land of chaos in the Changshou Realm. We were determined to get it.
"Elder Xuan Wu was originally a person of virtue and prestige in my Chi Commandery, and many people in the organization joined because of his prestige."
"According to speculation, the failure of Elder Xuan Wu's plan and his death are related to Gu Chen."
"This person has ruined our plans again and again. Now, he is a thorn in the flesh of the two Dao Lords. It is not a wise choice to recruit him!"
Elder Xiao shook his head when he heard that. "The matter of the Primordial Chaos mystic land in the Changshou Realm is complicated. As far as we know, the one who obtained the greatest fortune was the little princess of the Sword Commandery. That Gu Chen might not have much to do with Elder Xuan Wu's death.
"Moreover, that Gu Chen is indeed a talent. Given Lord Chi Mo's breadth of mind, he will not care about such trivial matters if he sincerely wishes to join us."
Elder Xiao was very interested in recruiting Gu Chen, but Envoy of the Left seemed to be full of misgivings. The two, who had always been harmonious, even quarreled over this matter.
As for the other companions, they all had different opinions about this. They couldn't come to a conclusion.
"Forget it. It's meaningless to argue about this here. Let's return to Maple World first. Let's leave this matter to the Elder Council!"
Left Emissary Ruan made a compromise and suggested.
"That's fine. This matter is of great importance. It's best to get Lord Chi Mo's approval." Elder Xiao did not object.
The group discussed for a while and decided to leave a spy behind to keep an eye on the exit of the Golden Toad World while the others hurriedly left.
After everyone left, in the dark void, a pair of strange compound eyes blinked, and the pupils rolled.
From the beginning to the end, none of them realized that they were being spied on.
"That one-eyed old man is quite smart. He actually guessed our identities. This matter is of great importance. We have to inform the leader."
The dragonfly monster muttered to itself. According to its orders, it had to continue following this group of people, so it couldn't leave. It could only open its mouth and spit out a strange purple dragonfly.
"Go!"
The dragonfly monster casually ordered. The purple dragonfly immediately flapped its wings and flew into the Golden Toad World.
The Chi Commandery cultivators who were left behind to keep an eye on the entrance did not notice this scene.
After the dragonfly monster delivered the message, its pair of compound eyes firmly locked on the group of people in front of it and followed them from a distance.
…
Inside the Golden Toad World, after letting the Chi Commandery cultivators go, Tian Chanzi began to pack up according to Gu Chen's instructions.
They had to leave within four hours. Tian Chanzi was a little reluctant and dragged his feet.
Gu Chen and his companions stayed in Tian Chanzi's courtyard. Many of his companions had just learned of Gu Chen's plan.
"The Chi Commandery cultivators look like idiots. Leader, is it useful to subdue them?" The Evil Shark Emperor understood Gu Chen's intention of letting them go, but he began to doubt the value of those people.
Everyone present was top-notch in terms of bloodline and glorious in terms of military exploits. Naturally, he looked down on a group of unknown rogue cultivators.
"Don't underestimate the Chi Commandery. There are still some experts among them. Most importantly, they can provide us with the living space that we need the most right now. "Gu Chen said with a smile.
As they spoke, the purple dragonfly sent by the dragonfly monster arrived. Gu Chen stretched out his hand, and the dragonfly landed on his fingertip. A message left by the dragonfly monster flowed into his mind.
Gu Chen learned about what happened after the Chi Commandery cultivators left, including their dispute. He laughed out loud.
"Leader, did something funny happen?" Everyone asked doubtfully.
"What a coincidence. These people are thinking the same thing as me."
Gu Chen told them about Elder Xiao's attempt to recruit them.
Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this.
"These people are not strong, but they are quite ambitious. They actually dream of subduing you, leader?" The Dwarf Emperor said disdainfully.
"You can't say that. People need to have some dreams in life." Zhong Shenruo teased with a smile.
Gu Chen waved his hand to stop everyone's laughter. "This is a good thing. I was thinking about how to break into the Chi Commandery with our poor relationship before. Now, they've opened an opening for themselves. "
"Leader, the Chi Commandery has its own ability to develop so well under the noses of the other commanderies. We can't be too careless."
The hunchbacked old man could not help but remind them when he saw that everyone was looking down on that group.
It was not easy for that group to detect their identity so quickly, especially that Elder Xiao, whose strength was no weaker than the people present.
"Of course. Caution is the parent of safety. We can't underestimate our opponents at any time."
Gu Chen nodded and explained. "That's why I asked Tian Chanzi to pack up and leave as soon as possible, lest the Chi Commandery cultivators suddenly take things too hard and expose our location to Xing Commandery or Lei Commandery."
"We need to know the nest of the Chi Commandery cultivators and understand their every move. But on the other hand, we must make sure that they can't find us at all. Only in this way can we be invincible."
Gu Chen had obviously thought it through. The hunchbacked old man was relieved when he heard this.
They chatted for a long time before Tian Chanzi finally finished packing up and arrived.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, can I take my disciples with me?" Tian Chanzi, who was worried about the future, asked tentatively.
"Of course, as long as Grandmaster is happy."
Gu Chen nodded with a smile. He had to give Tian Chanzi enough freedom to calm him down.
Besides, he planned to ask Tian Chanzi to help him refine a large batch of elixirs. With the help of his disciples, he could save a lot of time.
