Chapter 1837

Although his clothes were not revealing, his face was as dignified as a Bodhisattva.

Gu Chen somewhat understood the origin of the Clay Bodhisattva's name. He shook his head and said, "Your original appearance is too eye-catching. You'd better disguise yourself more normally."

The Clay Bodhisattva nodded. Mud seeped out of the skin on his face in a strange manner and slowly formed another ordinary face.

By the time the mud and water on his face had dried, he had already transformed into a completely different person. His disguise technique was quite unique.

Gu Chen looked at him with satisfaction. "Since you've changed your clothes, you'll be my servant in front of outsiders. Give yourself a name."

"Her surname is Jin. My surname is Qiao. Let's call her Jin Qiao." The Clay Bodhisattva seemed to have thought about it and murmured.

"Alright, we should leave now."

Gu Chen didn't say anything else. He mounted the Infinite Tyrannosaurus Rex again, followed by the Clay Bodhisattva.

…

In the Wild Fox Imperial City, the Imperial Palace was located on a huge Psychic Tree. Generations of the Wild Fox Imperial Family lived here.

The Psychic Tree was thousands of feet tall, and the palaces built on its branches did not seem crowded at all. Instead, it made the Wild Fox Palace a unique landscape in the Great Cheng Dynasty.

The most imposing palace on the crown of the Psychic Tree was the Ze King's resting palace. It was also the highest authority in the Ze Country, as the people of the Ze Country believed.

However, very few people knew that at the bottom of the Psychic Tree, deep within the mud of the swamp, was where the true master of the Swamp Country was.

That was because the ancestor of the Wild Fox Clan lived in seclusion in this place.

Wild Fox Patriarch was very old. It was said that he had lived for a very long time. The current Ze King was his great-great-grandson.

The trivial political affairs of the Ze Kingdom were usually handled by the Ze King, but as long as it was something that would affect the future of the Wild Fox Tribe, the Wild Fox Patriarch would always be the one to decide.

It was precisely because of the wisdom and philosophy of the Wild Fox Ancestor that the Wild Fox Tribe and the Ze Kingdom had withstood countless trials and had always stood tall within the territory of the Great Cheng!

Today, at the root of the Sentient Tree, in the cave where Patriarch Wildfox lived in seclusion.

Patriarch Wild Fox held a few jade slips in his hands. He looked at them thoughtfully and frowned from time to time.

His body was much larger than the average wild fox. He had a long gray beard on both sides of his sharp beak, and there was a scar on one of his eyes. He looked quite fierce.

The jade slip in his hand contained information from various places. Recently, the Dacheng Dynasty had not been peaceful. Patriarch Wild Fox felt that a storm was coming, so he paid special attention to every move of the various countries.

If it was only the external situation that was unstable, it would have been fine. But recently, the Wild Fox Clan's foundation had also been threatened.

The waves of beasts from the Desolate Great Swamp swarmed towards the border of the Swamp Country one after another, causing many problems.

Although the Wild Fox Tribe could still stabilize the situation with their military strength, if the situation continued to develop, the beast tide would threaten the Wild Fox Kingdom, and the problem would be huge.

The Wild Fox Imperial City was not far from the Desolate Great Swamp. In the past, when they were threatened by external enemies, this was the Wild Fox Clan's advantage.

Even if King City fell, the Wild Fox Tribe could still retreat into the depths of the swamp, making it impossible for the enemy to wipe them out. That way, they would have the opportunity to rest and recuperate.

However, there were advantages and disadvantages. Every time the Desolate Great Swamp was not peaceful, the Wild Fox Imperial City would be easily threatened. It could be said that it was the first to be affected.

As the capital of the country, the Wild Fox Imperial City was not only the economic and cultural center of the Swamp Country, but it also had the largest population. It was the true core, and they could not afford to lose it.

Thus, the Desolate Great Swamp's unrest had cast a shadow over the Wild Fox Ancestor. In the past few months, he had been paying attention to the development of the situation.

If the situation at the border worsened, he might have to leave the Imperial City and personally investigate what was going on.

However, recently, his cultivation had reached a crucial point. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he really did not want to leave the Psychic Tree's roots.

After understanding all the information, the Wild Fox Ancestor put down the jade slip and sighed.

"The battle for the throne of the Great Cheng has already reached the point of fighting openly. The two princes have extended an olive branch many times. I'm afraid we can't drag this on for much longer. Soon, we will have to choose a side."

As he muttered, he took a brush and ink from beside him. After thinking for a while, he dipped the brush in the ink and started writing on the blank jade slip.

Suddenly, he sensed something and turned his head to look at a corner of the cave. His eyes lit up. "Who is it?"

A figure stood in the darkness. When he heard the question, he slowly walked to the light. "Please forgive me for disturbing you, Fellow Daoist."

The Wild Fox Ancestor saw the person's appearance clearly. It was a human youth with black hair and white clothes. He did not know when the youth had snuck into his cave abode, but he did not sense it at all!

"How did you get in?"

The Wild Fox Ancestor's eyes revealed a look of fear as he looked at the cave entrance.

This cave abode was located at the root of the Psychic Tree. The Psychic Tree had spirituality, so its roots were constantly active.

Because of this, there were countless undercurrents at the bottom of the swamp. If one wanted to enter the cave, they had to pass through the undercurrents.

Not to mention that the undercurrents were extraordinary and ordinary cultivators would not be able to withstand them, even if they could, the environment at the root was complicated. It was extremely difficult to accurately find the location of the cave!

And even if they found the location of the cave, there were undercurrents at the cave entrance. Once they entered, they would definitely cause a commotion. It was impossible for them to reach him without him noticing!

The Wild Fox Ancestor had always thought that his place of seclusion was extremely safe. He did not expect that someone would be able to approach him without him noticing. At this moment, he was naturally very afraid and wanted to figure out what was going on.

"Of course, I swam in."

The person smiled and spoke. He was Gu Chen, who had rushed to Wild Fox Capital City the moment he reached the border of the Swamp Kingdom.

Searching for the Wild Fox Ancestor's whereabouts had taken Gu Chen some time, and it was even more difficult to find his cave abode.

The Psychic Tree that the Wild Fox Clan lived in was very strange. Its developed roots constantly breathed and stirred at the bottom of the swamp, making it impossible to identify the location of the Wild Fox Ancestor's cave abode.

Fortunately, Gu Chen had the Clay Bodhisattva beside him. He could transform into the swamp and adapt to the environment better than the Wild Fox Clan, who had grown up in the swamp. He easily led him to the entrance of the cave abode.

As for the undercurrents at the root, they were obstacles to others, but they were helpful to the Clay Bodhisattva.

He was like a fish in water in the undercurrents, so he entered the cave abode without the Wild Fox Ancestor noticing. He turned into a pool of muddy water and came ashore.

After that, Gu Chen came out of his swamp space and appeared in front of the Wild Fox Ancestor like a ghost.

The whole thing sounded simple, but in the eyes of the Wild Fox Ancestor, who did not know the truth, it was a little shocking.

The moment Gu Chen appeared, he gave off an unfathomable feeling. It made him wonder which great figure had condescended to come here!

"May I know why you're looking for me?"

It was not the Great Ancestor of Wild Fox's intention to investigate whether the other party had swum in or not. He stared at the cross-shaped tattoo between Gu Chen's eyebrows and carefully tried to recall whether there was any big shot with such an appearance.
