Chapter 1597

On one side was his wife, whom he would never see again, and on the other side was the young and beautiful princess of the Chu Family, who could bring great power to the Chu Family. In his opinion, anyone would know how to choose.

He couldn't understand Gu Chen's reason. He only thought that Gu Chen looked down on the Chu Family, which was a humiliation to the Chu Family!

"Sorry, Senior." Gu Chen was neither humble nor pushy.

"Do you know what will happen if you refuse the engagement of the Chu Family?" The Humble Sword King was so angry that his tone was threatening!

"I know it very well."

Gu Chen looked him straight in the eyes to show his determination.

Tomorrow's meeting was arranged by the Humble Sword King, who helped him coordinate the relationship with Lord Daoist of Hundred Counties.

Now that he refused it clearly, the Humble Sword King, who felt humiliated, might not help him anymore. He might even become his enemy!

He had already offended Mad Lord Daoist and others. If he offended the Humble Sword King, who wholeheartedly helped him, he might not be able to make any progress in tomorrow's meeting.

Gu Chen was clear about all the consequences, but he didn't regret it!

Feeling the resolution of Gu Chen, the Humble Sword King realized that there was no turning back.

His precious granddaughter was destined to be sad for a while.

If he had known this, he wouldn't have asked her about her feelings in advance!

"Good! Good! Good! You can go now! "

The Humble Sword King was so angry that he didn't want to say a word. He waved his hand to drive him away.

Gu Chen stood up, turned around, and left.

Although the current situation was not what he wanted, it was the only way.

"Wait!"

When Gu Chen walked ten steps, the Humble Sword King suddenly stopped him with a gloomy look.

"Since you don't want to be the son-in-law of the Chu Family, the Old Man has no reason to help you. Tomorrow, you should behave yourself. The Old Man won't plot against you, but he won't help you either! "

He said it clearly because he didn't want Gu Chen to think that he was a villain.

Even if the other party refused the engagement, he would never secretly play tricks because of his pride.

He loved swords all his life, and swords were famous for their integrity!

Gu Chen understood the meaning of Zhuo Swordsman and bowed slightly to him.

"Senior is broad-minded. It's already rare that you don't mind. I'm content."

After saying that, Gu Chen left the garden.

Looking at his departing figure, Zhuo Sword Monarch sighed helplessly.

How was he going to explain this to his granddaughter?

"Uncle, Miss Chu is so outstanding, yet you rejected her so heartlessly. Aren't you afraid of regret in the future?"

Gu Chen returned to his residence and informed Feng Yaya, Wu Ming, and Dharma King Qingcang of the matter. After hearing the news, Feng Yaya was in a good mood and teased with a smile.

"Don't be sarcastic. The current situation is really unexpected."

Gu Chen felt helpless.

He had thought that he could win over a powerful ally like the Humble Sword Lord for Ba Jun, but now he had offended him.

Although he said that he wouldn't deliberately target him, who knew?

At the Hundred Counties Conference the next day, he might be isolated like never before and face many dangers. That was why he reminded everyone in advance to prevent himself from being caught off guard.

"It's a pity that an ally like the Humble Sword Lord is gone."

Wu Ming sighed regretfully and didn't say some words in his heart.

He thought the same as the Humble Sword Lord. He felt that it was too unwise for Gu Chen to refuse the engagement.

If he had the support of the Humble Sword Lord, Ba Jun would not only be able to completely gain a foothold in the Chaotic Sea, but also soon become one of the largest forces.

Sometimes he felt that Gu Chen was astute beyond his age, and sometimes he felt that he was unusually naive in some matters.

He couldn't blame him. After all, his characteristics were a very important factor in choosing to follow him.

"Now that we don't have the support of the Humble Sword Lord, if people like Crazy Daoist Lord provoke us at the meeting tomorrow, the leader will really be alone and helpless. The Hundred Counties Daoist Lords all know each other. If they change their minds and want to kill all of us … "

Dharma King Qingcang's expression was extremely solemn. His words made Feng Yaya's original happiness disappear.

No one was naive. Without the Humble Sword Lord as a lobbyist, it was very likely that Golden Crow Daoist Lord and Yu Daoist Lord would also take action. How bad would the situation be then?

This was originally a meeting to determine the status of Ba Jun, but now it had become dangerous!

"Don't worry too much. Since I promised to meet the Hundred Counties Daoist Lords, I won't be naive enough to pin my hopes on the Humble Sword Lord alone."

"I'm telling everyone about this just to let everyone be more cautious. Tomorrow's birthday banquet will be a tough battle."

Gu Chen comforted everyone, but he was actually very calm.

After stepping into the Dao Severing Realm, he had changed far more than what he looked like on the surface.

If anyone came looking for trouble tomorrow, just bring it on. He would take it all on!

…

Sword County, a star sector not far from Ling Xiao Mountain.

Second Prince Qin and Young Emperor Sang Ting appeared here. Apart from the two of them, there was also a man shrouded in a black robe.

This person was Night Emperor Wu Shuo, the grandson of Supreme Eternal Night!

"Brother Qin, after days of tracking, the whereabouts of the monkey have finally been confirmed. He is hiding in the ancient star ahead. Should we go and capture him now, or wait until after the birthday banquet tomorrow? "

Night Emperor Wu Shuo said to Second Prince Qin, his eyes shining with a bloodthirsty red glow.

"The Humble Sword Lord's birthday banquet is nothing special. It's just a fight between the various Dao Lords, what does it have to do with us? I'm not interested in going. "

Second Prince Qin had a smile on his face, and his eyes were filled with excitement. "But that monkey's third eye is very strange, I really want to dig it out and study it."

"That monkey is proficient in the Dao of Transformation, and he is very alert. We have to capture him as soon as possible, in case he escapes again, and it will be difficult to find him again."

Sang Ting agreed with Second Prince Qin's idea. The birthday banquet was the birthday banquet of the Dao Lords, and it did not matter whether they showed up or not.

"Alright, let's do it now. That monkey's eyes are very sharp, he will be able to sense us the moment we get close, so we have to seal off the star paths in advance and set up an inescapable trap." Night Emperor Wu Shuo pondered.

"Not just seal off the star paths, but it's best to kill every living thing in this area. Otherwise, with that monkey's transformation technique, he might disguise himself as someone else and escape." Sang Ting's face flashed with killing intent as he suggested. It was obvious that this was not the first time he had done something like this.

"This is the territory of the Sword Commandery, and the Humble Sword Lord has always been known as the Virtuous King. Tomorrow is his birthday banquet, so we have to use our brains. Will what we do in the other commanderies work?"

Second Prince Qin glanced at Sang Ting coldly.

Sang Ting was immediately speechless. He had just spoken without thinking, and he was still thinking of asking the Humble Sword Lord for his hand in marriage. How would he dare to offend him on his birthday banquet?

"Since we can't kill anyone, how can we guarantee that the monkey won't escape?" Wu Shuo asked.

"It's simple, aren't there many geniuses from the other commanderies? Let's find more people to help seal off the star paths. With their eyesight, they won't be able to let the monkey escape if there are too many of them. "

Second Prince Qin smiled coldly.

Sang Ting and Wu Shuo nodded. With their strength and influence, there were many people who wanted to curry favor with them. It was not difficult for them to do this.
