Chapter 1833

As soon as Gu Chen saw that the three of them were still alive, a playful expression appeared on his face.

He had already suspected that the Hidden Dragon Clan had an unspeakable relationship with the Hall of Honesty, and the current situation proved his guess right.

"Clan Leader, is there a collaboration between your clan and Pavilion Master Ye Wunian? I wonder if your clan's collaboration with him takes precedence over yours and mine? "Gu Chen's tone revealed his dissatisfaction.

"You misunderstand, Fellow Daoist Chen. That Ye Wunian does have some thoughts about the Hidden Dragon Clan, but the Old Man doesn't trust him. The reason why we asked Pavilion Master Ye for help is that Ninja Yin acted on his own. "

"Now that the Old Man has reached an agreement with you, Ye Wunian will naturally not be considered. The Old Man handed the three of them over to Fellow Daoist Chen to decide whether they live or die. I believe this is enough to show the Old Man's sincerity. "

The clan leader of the Hidden Dragon Clan gave a look to Ninja Yin as he spoke.

"Clan Leader, before the Golden Crocodile's rebellion, it was indeed my idea to contact Ye Wunian. Now that the clan leader is back, we naturally listen to him. Mr. Chen, you don't have to worry too much, "Ninja Yin said expressionlessly.

"I see."

Gu Chen nodded and walked to the three of them with a smile.

As the chief of the Hidden Dragon Clan had said, he would hand over the three of them to him. If he was dissatisfied with the relationship between the Hidden Dragon Clan and Ye Wunian, he could directly kill the three of them. In this way, it was very likely that Ye Wunian would be dissatisfied with the Hidden Dragon Clan. Both parties would no longer form an alliance, and he could dispel his worries.

On the surface, this was indeed very sincere. However, although Gu Chen wasn't as old as the Hidden Dragon Clan, he had experienced many storms in his life and immediately understood the other party's deeper meaning.

What was the relationship between Ye Wunian and the Hidden Dragon Clan?

This was the question he had been thinking about ever since he discovered that the Hidden Dragon Clan was secretly following and spying on them.

At first, he thought that Ye Wunian might want to recruit the Hidden Dragon Clan into Pavilion Master Ye Wunian. After all, the members of the Hidden Dragon Clan were born assassins. If they joined, Pavilion Master Ye Wunian would be like a tiger with wings.

However, there were many details that did not make sense. The most obvious one was why they were not told about this.

Although the identity of the Hidden Dragon Clan was sensitive and couldn't be easily revealed, if the Pavilion of Innocence really wanted to recruit them, the people in the pavilion would find out sooner or later.

Those who participated in this mission could be said to be Ye Wunian's trusted subordinates. How could he not tell them such an important thing in advance? Wasn't he afraid that they would mess it up?

Of course, Gu Chen suspected that not everyone knew the inside story. At the very least, Householder Peach Blossom might know something.

Previously, when Tu Xiong and Lady Storm disappeared, Master Peach Blossom had asked him if he had done anything when he was traveling alone. He could clearly see that Master Peach Blossom was hiding something.

If Householder Peach Blossom knew about the existence of the Hidden Dragon Clan and the true purpose of this mission, why was he unwilling to reveal the truth after his companions disappeared one after another?

The way the clan leader of the Hidden Dragon Clan and the ninja spoke was also very interesting. The clan leader of the Hidden Dragon Clan didn't seem to be interested in Ye Wunian's recruitment. Why was that?

Ye Wunian was the Pavilion Master of the Pavilion of Innocence, while he was just an ordinary killer in the Pavilion of Innocence. No matter who it was, they should have chosen Ye Wunian.

Even if the clan leader of the Hidden Dragon Clan was moved by the conditions that he had mentioned earlier, there was still an obvious problem. Why didn't they consider the possibility that he was on Ye Wunian's side?

He was sent by Ye Wunian and took the initiative to say that he wanted to form an alliance with the Hidden Dragon Clan. However, the Hidden Dragon Clan seemed to think that he didn't represent Ye Wunian.

Ye Wunian was highly secretive about the mission. He only used his trusted subordinates, but he didn't say anything. Householder Peach Blossom was also secretive …

All these details pointed to one possibility: Ye Wunian probably didn't represent the Pavilion of Innocence!

Either Ye Wunian wanted to establish his own power and absorb the Hidden Dragon Clan as his own, or he had another force behind him — a force whose identity was so sensitive that it couldn't be revealed at all. Even the clan leader of the Hidden Dragon Clan found it tricky to deal with!

The possibility of the first possibility was very low. Ye Wunian was already the Pavilion Master of Innocence. Even if there were some people in the pavilion who opposed him, they wouldn't be able to cause much trouble.

Therefore, Gu Chen was inclined to the second possibility, which was that there was another force behind Ye Wunian!

After deducing this, it was self-evident why the clan leader of the Hidden Dragon Clan handed Householder Peach Blossom and the other two over to him.

Householder Peach Blossom and the other two mostly represented the Pavilion of Innocence. Even if they were killed, it wouldn't affect the cooperation between the Hidden Dragon Clan and the force behind Ye Wunian.

Householder Peach Blossom and the other two contacted that force on their own, but it wasn't that force that sent people over directly. Instead, they beat around the bush and asked Ye Wunian to send killers from the Pavilion of Innocence. This meant that Householder Peach Blossom was either worried that the force wouldn't be recognized by the clan, or that the force was more sensitive than the Hidden Dragon Clan and couldn't be easily exposed.

Beating around the bush and asking the killers from the Pavilion of Innocence to participate in such a mission actually made it easier for them to be exposed. Therefore, it should be the first possibility.

In this way, what the clan leader of the Hidden Dragon Clan said previously was also valid. He indeed didn't trust Ye Wunian and the force behind him!

It was easy to invite a devil in, but difficult to send him away. The clan leader of the Hidden Dragon Clan was in a difficult situation, so he turned his attention to him.

Not only did he use him to restrict Ye Wunian, but he also let Ye Wunian keep him in check, ensuring that he wouldn't easily do anything that would harm the Hidden Dragon Clan.

Gu Chen had to admit that this was the best of both worlds. This clan leader of the Hidden Dragon Clan was really a cunning old fox.

It was just that he was taking a huge risk in this. The force behind Ye Wunian was not to be underestimated. Once he fell into their trap, he might not even know how he died!

On one hand, they formed an alliance with him, but on the other hand, they played tricks on him and didn't clearly tell him of the danger. This wasn't a good start for cooperation!

"I wonder how Fellow Daoist Chen plans to deal with these three people? Fellow Daoist Chen, Fellow Daoist Chen. "

Seeing that Gu Chen didn't speak for a long time, the clan leader of the Hidden Dragon Clan called him a few times.

Gu Chen came back to his senses and looked deeply at the clan leader of the Hidden Dragon Clan. "Let's not beat around the bush. Clan leader, you have to tell me which force is behind Ye Wunian, right?"

The other party's eyes seemed to have seen through everything. The clan leader of the Hidden Dragon Clan felt a chill in his heart. After a moment of silence, he said, "Fellow Daoist Chen said before that the Old Man should treat the alliance with you as an investment. Since that's the case, you have to prove that you have the qualifications, right? What we're going to do in the future is no small matter, and the forces we're going to offend are even more unimaginable. The Old Man has to be sure … "

Before the clan leader of the Hidden Dragon Clan could finish his words, Gu Chen waved his hand and interrupted him. "Clan leader, there's no need to say anymore. I understand! I just want to know the name of this force. If I don't even know what I'm facing, what kind of cooperation is there? "

The clan leader of the Hidden Dragon Clan was speechless. He turned his head to look at Ninja, indicating for him to answer the question.

Ninja took a deep breath and said, "They all have their own names, but they all have the same name — Rebel Army!"
