Chapter 1715
Gu Chen's group traveled with the Tang siblings.
With the wyvern as a ride, they didn't have to travel long distances and were much more relaxed.
Both parties talked and laughed along the way, and Gu Chen gradually learned about their background from Tang Gaolan.
The siblings were from the Waterdance Army, which was a famous army in Pei Nation and deeply trusted by the Lord of Pei Nation.
Even though Tang Gaolan didn't reveal her exact identity, she vaguely revealed that her family held a high position in the Waterdance Army.
This wasn't the result of Gu Chen's indirect questioning. In fact, he wasn't interested in whichever force the siblings were from. The reason why he took the initiative to approach them was to learn more about the Luo Clan.
However, Tang Gaolan was very 'enthusiastic'. She seemed to reveal her identity unintentionally, but the sharp Gu Chen sensed that she must have some ulterior motive.
Gu Chen didn't care. From the moment Tang Gaolan took the initiative to invite them along, he knew she had some ulterior motive.
No matter how hospitable one was, one wouldn't invite strangers to travel with them. What if they were stabbed in the back?
Gu Chen was well aware of this, but he did need the wyvern to ride. He also wanted to learn more about the Luo Clan, so he cooperated with Tang Gaolan.
Speaking of which, the Tang siblings were quite interesting. Tang Gaolan looked cheerful and generous on the outside, but she was actually a scheming person. As for Tang Jianqing, he showed all his worries on his face.
Tang Gaolan's politeness toward them made Tang Jianqing very unhappy. He made sarcastic remarks along the way, and in order not to travel with them, he even rode the wyvern to the back of the group.
Both parties traveled for a few days, and Gu Chen gradually learned more information from Tang Gaolan.
Although they had collected a lot of information when they settled in the small city, due to the limited channels, most of it was information that the common people knew.
The Waterdance Army was quite powerful in Pei Nation, so Tang Gaolan naturally had access to a lot of information. She might not have thought much of the information, but it was quite useful to an outsider like Gu Chen.
For example, she mentioned that the Luo Sect did not have a sect master. The person with the highest position in the sect was the Great Prophet, and the Great Prophet of every generation was conferred the title of State Preceptor by the King of Pei Country.
Every ruler of the Pei Nation would pay a visit to the Luo Gate before they ascended to the throne. This showed how high the Luo Gate's position in the Pei Nation was.
Gu Chen listened to these matters with relish. The relationship between kingdoms, dynasties, sects, and aristocratic families in the Primordial Dao World was indeed complicated, and their interests were involved.
He also tried to ask about the relationship between the Luo Sect and the Origin Clan. Of course, he did not directly mention the Origin Clan. Instead, he asked about the ancestors of the Luo Sect.
Tang Gaolan did not know much about this. She only knew that the Luo Sect's Ancestral Master was rumored to be a down-and-out scholar who accidentally received guidance from an expert and went into seclusion to cultivate.
After he came out of seclusion, in just a hundred years, he assisted the founding emperor of the Pei Dynasty and established the Pei Dynasty. From then on, he established the mighty name of the Luo Family.
The rumors she mentioned did not mention the Origin Clan at all, so Gu Chen suspected that she might not know anything about the Origin Clan.
Ordinary cultivators in the Dao World had never heard of one of the dignified Ten Ancient Netherworld Clans. This showed how much the Origin Clan had declined and how far the upper echelons of the Dao World were from him.
Gu Chen adjusted his position, knowing that he could not rush what he wanted to do. He would just treat it as a sightseeing tour.
A few days later, when everyone passed by a canyon, melodious flute music suddenly came from the canyon.
The flute music seemed to have a magical power that went straight into people's hearts, forming an endless echo in the canyon.
Buzz! Buzz!
Buzz! Along with the flute music was the sound of high-frequency flapping wings. A large number of abnormal auras were rapidly approaching from both sides of the canyon!
Gu Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. He discovered that Tang Gaolan, who was beside him, looked as though she was facing a formidable enemy. However, she did not look surprised.
The 755 Water Dance Army soldiers quickly set up a battle array and protected the Tang siblings in the center, looking well-trained.
Gu Chen and his group were not in a hurry. Very soon, they saw clearly what was flying over.
It was a creature that looked like a butterfly but had a human skeleton and size. Even their heads were half human and half ghost.
Before they got close, the evil aura emanating from their bodies was extremely shocking. There were thousands of them, and their flying speed was not slow.
"Oh no! It's the Rakshasa Butterfly! Why are there so many of them? "
Tang Gaolan's pretty face revealed a panicked expression when she saw the enemies attacking.
The flute music continued in the valley. Under the guidance of the flute music, a large number of Rakshasa Butterfly quickly pounced on the 755 Water Dance Army soldiers.
The soldiers brandished the spears in their hands, and the spear tips emitted light from time to time. They cooperated and slaughtered the Rakshasa Butterfly that flew over.
However, the Rakshasa Butterfly's bodies were extremely hard and invulnerable, so the soldiers' attacks did not have much of an effect.
On the contrary, such attacks aroused the ferocity of the Rakshasa Butterfly. They opened their mouths and revealed their sharp mouthparts, piercing through the soldiers' armors and into their bodies!
In an instant, the soldiers' blood was sucked dry, and they fell to the ground as dried corpses. Those who did not meet this fate were not as lucky. Some of them were torn into pieces by the Rakshasa Butterfly's joint attack!
Seeing that the soldiers protecting them were dying at an alarming rate, the Tang siblings became flustered. Especially Tang Jianqing, whose face was as pale as a sheet of paper.
"Brother Chen, please lend us a hand!"
Tang Gaolan pleaded to Gu Chen in a panic.
She had originally gotten to know this group of rogue cultivators with the intention of making use of them.
She had purposely revealed her background because she thought that once they knew her identity, this group of people would work harder to help her when she needed it.
However, everything she had envisioned was in a situation where there were not too many enemies. This group of people were not fools. Only in that situation would they be willing to help her and act as her shield.
The Rakshasa Butterfly in front of her was large in number and extremely ferocious. She was worried that these people would flee immediately out of fear. How could they help her then?
Therefore, her current plea was sincere and came from the bottom of her heart!
Faced with the rapidly approaching Rakshasa Butterfly, Gu Chen looked at Tang Gaolan calmly and finally understood why she had taken the initiative to approach them.
It turned out that she wanted to use them to avoid trouble.
"Sister, what's the point of asking them for help? Let's hurry up and kill our way out! "
Tang Jianqing said in a panic. However, the Flood Dragon beneath him was obviously frightened by the Rakshasa Butterfly. It was difficult to control it in place, let alone kill its way out of the encirclement!
Moreover, the Rakshasa Butterfly could fly, so it was too difficult for them to escape in this mountainous region!
"Chief."
His companions looked at Gu Chen with some interest in their eyes.
The group of ferocious insects and demon beasts that had suddenly appeared was not simple. After coming to the Dao World for so long, they had not had a good fight yet, so they were a little itchy.
