Chapter 1771

If all of this was connected, then the secret involved was unimaginably huge, and it was something that could shake the foundation of the country.

And the Tang family had been dragged into the whirlpool from the moment they formed a relationship with Chen Yi!

"Third Brother, what should we do now?" Tang Xuanci was anxious. This matter was of great importance, and he did not know how to deal with it.

"Since we're already involved, we can't avoid it. I'm on King Pei's salary, so I'll do my best for King Pei! "

Tang Xuanci's righteous words had already indicated the Tang family's future.

Tang Xuanci was silent. He prayed in his heart that the Tang family would still exist after this storm.

…

In an antique pawnshop in Pei Du, Gu Chen walked in while Wuji Tyrannosaurus Rex stayed outside.

"What would you like to pawn, sir?" The shopkeeper behind the counter asked with a smile when he saw a customer.

"I want to pawn this!"

Gu Chen casually slapped a token on the table. The veined patterns on the token were quite special.

When the shopkeeper saw the token, the smile on his face disappeared and turned cold.

"Where did you get this from, sir? Are you sure you want to pawn it? "he asked coldly.

"Where it came from has nothing to do with you. If you pawn it, I wonder if I can redeem it in the future?" Gu Chen said with a faint smile.

"I'm afraid you'll have to redeem it with your life. Do you still want to pawn it after what I said? "The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes, and his words were filled with killing intent.

However, Gu Chen did not seem to notice and replied with a smile. "Clang! I've been poor recently. I wonder how many Daoist Crystals I can get by pawning this thing? "

The shopkeeper looked at Gu Chen deeply and said that he would wait for a while. Then, he left the counter and went up to the second floor of the pawnshop.

After a while, he came down and said coldly to Gu Chen. "Sir, please!"

Gu Chen nodded and followed him up to the second floor unhurriedly. Soon, they entered a private room.

At this time, there was already a person sitting in the private room. This person was dressed in green and had a black cape. He wore a bamboo hat and a veil, so it was hard to tell whether he was a man or a woman.

"Your Excellency, please take a seat," the man said. Even his voice was neutral.

So Gu Chen sat across from him and began to scrutinize the assassin from the Pavilion of Innocence in a composed manner.

On his way to the Luo Men, he had saved Tang Gaolan and her younger brother, breaking a trap set up by an assassin apprentice of the Prudential Pavilion.

That killer apprentice was good at controlling insects. After Gu Chen captured him, he did not intend to kill him directly. He did not expect that the assassin from the Pavilion of Innocence would kill him and ruin his plan.

That incident had left a deep impression on him. Later, when he saw Shao Heyang at the Luo Men, the Tang siblings suspected that he was an assassin from Innocent Pavilion hired by the Shao Family.

Gu Chen remembered all of this. When he killed Shao Heyang and left the dwarf elder alive, he forced him to tell him everything about the Pavilion of Innocence.

Of course, the most important thing was how to get in touch with the Hall of Innocence.

The pawnshop he was in right now was the stronghold of the Hall of Innocence in Peidu. It was also the largest stronghold in Peidu.

Ordinary people had no way of knowing the stronghold of a mysterious killer organization like the Hall of Innocence, but this was not a problem for the Shao Family, whose power was deeply rooted in Peidu.

The Shao Family had hired an assassin apprentice of the Pavilion of Innocence here to kill the Tang siblings, but Gu Chen had foiled their plan.

Now, Gu Chen had come here with the token of the assassin apprentice, which was a little provocative.

"I know you, that insect cultivator," the assassin from the Hall of Innocence said. His words stunned Gu Chen.

"You were the one who attacked secretly that day?" Gu Chen quickly realized.

Back then, he summoned the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Butterfly and broke the assassin apprentice's insect control technique. In the eyes of the assassin from the Hall of Innocence who was secretly monitoring him, he was an insect cultivator.

He did not expect such a coincidence that the assassin sitting here today was the same one from back then!

"I spared your life that day. I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful and come here to die today," the assassin spoke again, his tone rather cold.

Gu Chen smiled, the corners of his mouth curling up. "Although you killed him that day, if you dare to attack me, you may not be able to escape unscathed."

"You look young, but you talk big!" the assassin snorted coldly.

"If you don't believe me, why don't we have a spar?"

Gu Chen's words were provocative. He wanted to test the general level of the assassins from the Hall of Innocence. The one he had dealt with before was just an apprentice, not even a beginner.

"I won't do anything without a reward. Tell me your real intention," the assassin said coldly, not liking Gu Chen's intentions.

"How about I give you money, and you fight me?" Gu Chen asked with a smile.

"Those who enter the Hall of Innocence are always full of reverence. It's rare to see someone as arrogant as you," the assassin sneered.

"Thank you for the compliment, but I haven't discovered this place yet. What's there to be reverent about?" Gu Chen looked around calmly.

"By the time you discover it, I'm afraid you'll already be dead." The assassin shook his head. It was unclear whether this person was too confident or too arrogant.

"Now that you mention it, I'm even more eager to try out the traps and assassination techniques of the Hall of Innocence." Gu Chen was not going to let it go.

The assassin's eyes, which were hidden behind the veil, turned cold. He suddenly raised his hand and, like twisting a needle, swept towards Gu Chen, who was right in front of him!

Gu Chen's expression did not change. He tilted his body slightly and dodged the attack, then flipped his hand over.

The assassin's reaction was extremely fast. With a kick, he sent the table flying.

But Gu Chen's hand was indestructible. With a single claw, he crushed the table and continued to sweep towards the veil!

Assassins never showed their true faces, but he insisted on exposing them. All of his actions were provocative.

Smack!

With one claw, Gu Chen tore the veil into pieces, and the bamboo hat was also sent flying. But the assassin in front of him suddenly disappeared, turning into gray fog!

This gray fog was exactly the same as the one used to silence the assassin apprentice. It was extremely corrosive, and it was in this enclosed room. Once it spread out, it instantly engulfed everything!

The gray fog billowed. After eliminating all traces, the assassin's figure quietly appeared.

"You're really seeking your own death," the assassin said coldly.

"Oh? Are you sure? "

A teasing voice suddenly came from behind, causing the assassin to stiffen. He turned around to look.

He saw a black-haired youth standing behind him, unscathed. He didn't even notice when someone had approached him!

The poisonous fog was actually ineffective, and he managed to escape in time in such a small space!

The assassin's heart trembled. He knew that having exposed his back to the other party meant that he had lost!

"What exactly do you want to do?" The assassin asked. If the other party had really wanted to provoke the Hall of Innocence, he would have taken the opportunity to kill him just now.

"I want to join the Hall of Innocence. I wonder if that's possible?" Gu Chen smiled and finally stated his intentions.

"Being a good assassin doesn't mean that you can become a good one," the assassin said sarcastically.

"I actually have quite a lot of experience as an assassin." Gu Chen smiled innocently.
