Chapter 1552

Gu Chen had thought that he could make use of the irreconcilable relationship between Lin County and Xing County to buy time for Ba County to develop.

However, it turned out that he had underestimated the scheming of the Dao Lords and overestimated their tolerance.

After Thunder Dao Lord's death, the first thing that came to their minds was that there was a challenger in the domain that they had firmly controlled.

They could not tolerate a challenge from a lower position to a higher position. Hence, they had formed a unified opinion despite their disagreements.

This was something that Gu Chen had not thought of. If not for Medusa's hint, he would have died suddenly when he met Lin Daojun and Ba County would have perished without knowing why!

This was a form of strangling the challenger by those with vested interests. Gu Chen could feel that it was full of malice.

He had long known that this path would be full of thorns, but he did not expect that the day where he would become the enemy of the entire world would come so soon.

"In order to trick me into coming to the outside world, this group of people is very well-prepared."

Gu Chen closed his eyes and reflected on his carelessness while analyzing the current situation.

Lin Daojun had hung Miejin's head at the border of the Seven Realms to make him think that Lin County and Xing County were really at odds with each other. This would deepen the idea of forming an alliance with him.

The location of the meeting in the outside world was also to lower his guard.

From these two points, firstly, the conflict between Dao Lord Lin and Dao Lord Xing over the Seven Realms was probably far less threatening than the threat they posed.

Therefore, the worst case scenario was that the people from Xing County had already joined in the ambush, and Xing County might even be there in person.

Secondly, as the master of the outside world, the Fang Family would not be able to bypass them in such a large-scale operation. They might also be conspirators.

Gu Chen had originally thought that the Fang Family and Lin County had different interests and would not completely side with them. Therefore, he was more at ease about the meeting in the outside world.

However, if it was not only Lin Daojun who wanted him dead, but also many Dao Lords from the Chaotic Sea, it would not be surprising at all what the Fang Family would do.

Moreover, if Lin Daojun and Xing County were to cooperate, the Fang Family might be the leader …

The more Gu Chen analyzed the situation, the more difficult it became for him.

This time, all the major forces came prepared. They had formed an alliance and the difference in strength between Ba County and them was too great.

Under such circumstances, the best thing to do was to escape.

However, since they had already entered the Outer World, it was likely that the passage to the outside had already been sealed by the enemy.

Medusa didn't reveal much information, so Gu Chen wasn't sure how many enemies there were. However, since the various Daolords were willing to disregard their pride and join forces, the troops they had prepared were enough to kill him.

The reason why they hadn't made a move yet was probably because they were waiting for the right time, or maybe they were just toying with him.

Thinking of the malicious intent that could be everywhere in the dark, the killing intent in Gu Chen's heart thickened.

However, he couldn't act rashly. If he showed signs that he had already noticed something, perhaps what awaited him would be a storm of encirclement and annihilation!

"I don't know where the enemy is. The only ones I can see are the Fang family members. However, I can't kill the Fang family members now."

Gu Chen's eyes were cold. The Fang family had betrayed him. With the military strength of Misty Villa's Tyrant County, they could easily destroy them.

However, there was no meaning in just killing them. If he beat the grass and startled the snake in advance, then he would really lose this battle.

Anyone would panic when they heard that they were being targeted by the malicious intent of the entire world.

In the face of these powerful Daolords, most people would choose to surrender and give up.

However, Gu Chen was different. He had long been fearless. Even though he knew that the situation was extremely disadvantageous to him, the moment he found out, he didn't feel annoyed or regretful. Instead, he thought of a way to turn the situation around.

He told Medusa the time and place of the meeting so that he could fight with all his might.

The time was set to be three days later because he wanted to give himself and his companions as much buffer time as possible.

The location was chosen at the Chaos Transit Window that connected the Outer World and the Five Elements Realm because it was the most likely place to turn the situation around.

In Gu Chen's dictionary, there was no such thing as admitting defeat. Since the Daolords wanted to kill him and the Chaos Hundred Counties couldn't tolerate him, then he would see if his life was tough or not!

Misty Villa, Fang Shiyang's study room. Late at night.

Fang Shijie quietly entered the room and bowed to his father who was reading a book.

"How's the situation?" Fang Shiyang asked casually, his eyes fixed on the book.

"Medusa has already left Misty Villa. Gu Chen has already set a time. In three days, he will die!" Fang Shijie sneered.

"Where is the location of the meeting?" Fang Shiyang asked.

"The Chaos Transit Window that connects the Outer World and the Five Elements Realm," Fang Shijie replied.

"Chaos Transit Window? Why there? That kid won't be suspicious, will he? "Fang Shiyang put down his book and frowned.

"I don't think so. Gu Chen stayed in the courtyard that was arranged for him the entire night. His companions didn't seem to be acting strangely either. If they were suspicious, they should be thinking of a way to escape from the Outer World," Fang Shijie said.

"What exactly did Medusa talk to him about? Did you hear their conversation with your own ears? "

Fang Shiyang was instinctively worried. After all, the implications of this matter were too great. If the plan failed, the Fang family would have a mortal enemy, and the favors they would have received from the various Dao Monarchs would have been gone.

"Medusa entered Gu Chen's courtyard alone. In order to prevent Gu Chen from noticing, how would I dare to spy on her?" Fang Shijie shook his head.

"Not only did Medusa arrive so late, she even conversed with that kid alone. There shouldn't be any problems, right?" Fang Shiyang narrowed his eyes.

"Hehe, I know the reason. Father, you're worrying too much."

Fang Shijie's eyes revealed a teasing look. "Snakes are lascivious by nature. Medusa is famous for being unrestrained. She just wants to borrow Gu Chen's seed."

Fang Shiyang suddenly understood. He had heard of Medusa's temperament before.

It was said that she liked to have sexual intercourse with those with extraordinary talent in order to give birth to outstanding descendants.

However, one shouldn't think that those who had sexual intercourse with her had won her favor. In the past, countless experts had been mercilessly killed by her after she had borrowed their seed.

"This matter concerns the bigger picture. She actually has such thoughts," Fang Shiyang said with a cold snort.

"I feel that this won't affect the bigger picture at all. If Gu Chen really has been seduced by her, that means that he truly isn't prepared for this meeting. We can rest easy," Fang Shijie said with a laugh.

"And the result? Did he take the bait? "Fang Shiyang suddenly felt rather curious.

"Medusa left with a radiant look on her face. Judging from her tone, she should have succeeded." A hint of disdain appeared in Fang Shijie's eyes.
