Chapter 1509

"Left Emissary Ruan, it seems that the Old Man's idea is right. Things are going much smoother than expected."

Elder Xiao was overjoyed. As the first person to recommend the Overlord, if the Overlord really joined the Chi Commandery, his position in the organization would naturally be higher.

Emissary of the Left's face was gloomy as he looked at Gu Chen. Perhaps it was his intuition from serving as the Emissary of the Left for many years, but he felt that Gu Chen's words were a little fake.

"Three Elders, if the Overlord truly wishes to join us, that would naturally be a good thing. However, we must guard against this person! "

She stood out and reminded him.

"What are we guarding against?" The leading elder looked displeased.

In fact, when they came to Maple World this time, Lord Chi Mo did not give a clear statement on whether or not to recruit Overlord's group. He only asked them to evaluate carefully.

Although the evaluation right was in their hands, they also knew that if they could really recruit such a talent, it would definitely be a great contribution to Lord Chi Mo.

Now that the other party had taken the initiative to surrender, it couldn't be better. Left Emissary Ruan questioned the Tyrant in public, what if the Tyrant was unhappy and the matter was left unsettled?

If the Tyrant really had something to guard against, it could have been discussed in private. In their opinion, Left Emissary Ruan's current behavior was inappropriate.

The Left Emissary Ruan could tell that the three Elders were unhappy, but based on her years of intuition, she did not want to invite a wolf into the house. She fearlessly stepped forward and questioned Gu Chen.

"Overlord, may I ask if you were the one who killed Elder Xuan Wu of Chi Commandery?"

These words caused quite a commotion in the crowd.

Elder Xuan Wu carried a heavy responsibility. If he'd succeeded in obtaining the fortune within the Chaotic Mystery Lands, then all the cultivators from Chi Commandery would've benefited as well. So, many of them still held a grudge towards what happened at that time.

Many of them lacked resources, and the Primal Chaos Mystic Land had been snatched away for no reason. How could they not be angry?

Now that there was a chance to know the truth, everyone pricked up their ears to listen!

"That's right. I was the one who killed the Longevity Realm's Old Black Tortoise."

Unexpectedly, Gu Chen didn't refute it. He admitted it readily!

There was an uproar in the market place. Many people's initial admiration for the Overlord turned into complaints.

Left Emissary Ruan thought that Gu Chen would refute. If he denied it flatly, then it would be difficult for her to continue.

In the end, he was too honest. She realized that her chance had come and quickly struck while the iron was hot.

"Everyone has heard it. The Overlord killed Elder Xuan Wu and ruined the plan of our Chi Prefecture. Under such circumstances, he already has a great enmity with my Chi Commandery, yet he still wants to rely on Lord Chi Mo. Can these words be trusted? "

"I'm afraid he has an ulterior motive. We absolutely can't allow him to join Chi Commandery!"

"Once he joins the Chi Commandery, there will be too many unknown dangers. Perhaps he wants to use the lives of our Chi Commandery cultivators to help him resist the revenge of the two Dao Lords!"

Many people secretly nodded after Left Emissary Ruan finished speaking. Even the three elders had some concerns.

This matter was not easy to solve.

Of course, successfully recruiting the Overlord was a great achievement, but if he really brought trouble, then the merit would become a sin.

Gu Chen chuckled to himself when he saw that Left Emissary Ruan was trying his best to stop him.

This woman had a sharp eye. He did have an ulterior motive for joining Chi Commandery.

If he did not come today, with this woman's hostility, Chi Commandery would probably not be of help to him. Instead, it would be a great hindrance.

However, since he was here, how could he allow this woman to ruin his plan?

"I did kill Old Xuan Wu, but I did not know his identity at that time. Moreover, before I killed him, he was the one who cooperated with Sky Shadow Peng Fu of Xing Commandery and sent people to assassinate me.

"At that time, the situation in the Longevity Realm was chaotic. Everything I did was to protect myself. I don't think there was anything wrong with it. If it was anyone else, would you be willing to be killed by someone you don't know? "

Gu Chen was unperturbed. He looked at everyone in a righteous manner.

"If that's the case, the situation is indeed understandable. The Overlord is willing to be honest with us, which means that he is straightforward and upright. "Elder Xiao was the first to speak.

Gu Chen could not help but look at him a few more times. This person's strength was considered top-notch among the group of people from Chi Commandery. He also had a strong desire to recruit Gu Chen. After Gu Chen subdued Chi Commandery, he should be of great use.

"No matter how you explain it, it is an indisputable fact that Chi Commandery lost the fortune of the mysterious land of chaos because of you!"

Left Emissary Ruan sneered. No matter what the truth was, everyone had suffered heavy losses.

As long as the resentment caused by this matter remained, she believed that most of her companions would stand on her side.

"That's right. The fortune of the mysterious land of chaos is of great significance to me. If Elder Xuan Wu had brought back heavenly treasures, I might have broken through my current bottleneck a long time ago."

A cultivator in the crowd said unwillingly. The others felt sad.

"Hahaha …"

Gu Chen looked at the many resentful cultivators and suddenly burst into laughter.

"What's so funny? The Overlord was once a general of Xing Commandery and did not have to worry about any cultivation resources. I'm afraid he doesn't understand the suffering of us itinerant cultivators! "Left Emissary Ruan said unhappily.

"I'm laughing at you for being too narrow-minded!"

Gu Chen did not hide his disdain and said disdainfully.

His words angered even more cultivators from Chi Commandery.

"The mysterious land of chaos is nothing to me. Have you forgotten that I have conquered the Xing Commandery? The resources of the entire Xing Commandery have already fallen into my hands! "

"As long as you become my people, you will have a chance to get the resources of the Xing Commandery, right?"

"You are so obsessed with the small mysterious land of chaos that you have forgotten about the opportunity in front of you. Don't you think it's ridiculous that you are so narrow-minded?"

Gu Chen's sarcasm was like a slap to the faces of all the cultivators present. They looked ashamed, but their hearts were filled with passion because of Gu Chen's words.

The resources of the entire Xing Commandery!

That's right!

The Overlord had conquered the Xing Commandery and escaped unscathed. He must have taken all the treasures that the Xing Commandery had accumulated over the years!

How could they not have thought of this? They were too narrow-minded!

"The resources of the entire Xing Commandery?" Left Emissary Ruan's expression changed as he realized that he had no cards to play.

Everyone chased after fame and wealth. The Overlord knew this very well, so he had her as his army!

"Is what the Overlord said true?"

The three elders were tempted and asked in a hurry.

If they could really obtain the resources of the Xing Commandery, the Chi Commandery would be able to grow stronger in a very short time.

Even if Gu Chen was just a mortal, he would still be able to gain a high status after joining the Chi Commandery!

"Of course it's true." Gu Chen curled his lips.

The premise of what he just said was that the cultivators of the Chi Commandery had become his people. However, what he meant by 'his people' was probably different from what the others understood.

"Alright, the Overlord, please wait for a moment."

The three elders no longer hesitated after getting the confirmation from Gu Chen.

They held each other's hands and closed their eyes, standing still in a strange manner.

"What are they doing?"

Behind Gu Chen, Zhong Shenruo asked the monster dragonfly curiously.

"It is said that the Inner Elders can communicate directly with the Chi Devil. They must be asking for the Chi Devil's opinion." The monster dragonfly guessed.

"The 8,555 Lesser Heavens and Earth are made up of countless tiny chaotic passages. While the chaos blocks supernatural powers, it also blocks all thoughts. It is difficult for the Dao Lords to communicate across realms. Does the Chi Devil have this ability?" Zhong Shenruo questioned.

His doubt was also what Gu Chen was wondering about. He knew nothing about the Chi Devil. One of the main reasons he came here today was to find out more about the Chi Devil.

Only by understanding the Chi Devil's abilities could he better deal with the Chi Devil.
