Chapter 1839
Patriarch Wildfox's expression changed for a while before he finally revealed a smile.
"Previously, when Pei Nation was in danger, my Ze Nation was unable to provide assistance in time. The new King Pei repaid evil with kindness, which really puts the Old Man to shame.
"It is the general trend for our two nations to mend our relationship, and it is also the wish of the people! From now on, our two nations will forever be united against the outside world. We will advance and retreat together, and may our friendship last forever! "
Patriarch Wildfox's words were very beautiful and impeccable, giving Gu Chen the promise he wanted.
"Since you are sincere in forming an alliance, King Pei will definitely treat you with sincerity. In the future, Ze Nation and the Wild Fox Clan will not regret their decision today. Since the matter has been settled, I will take my leave now. Take care, Fellow Daoist! "
Gu Chen cupped his fists at Patriarch Wildfox and took a step back.
"Fellow Daoist, please wait! Business is business, and private matters are private matters. You have to give an explanation for trespassing into the Old Man's cave abode, right? "
Patriarch Wildfox's eyes suddenly flashed, and three long fox tails appeared behind him.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The fox tails moved like a ghost, pouncing toward Gu Chen.
However, Gu Chen was faster, and his body merged into the swamp.
In the end, only a pile of muddy water splashed up, and Gu Chen's figure disappeared completely. Patriarch Wildfox's three tails danced in the air as he looked around with a gloomy expression.
"Just as you said, Fellow Daoist, I distinguish between public and private matters, so I will not fuss over your special way of sending me off."
A teasing voice came at the end, and then there was no more movement.
"He's really not easy to deal with …"
Patriarch Wildfox muttered, then walked to a corner of the cave abode, and pulled down a hanging vine on the rock wall.
This vine was actually one of the roots of the Psychic Tree. With just a slight pull, the Psychic Tree would inform the Wild Fox Clan in the palace to come and see him.
When he attacked the other party just now, he wanted to test the other party's depth and further understand the other party's identity.
He could not just believe what others said. Only after fighting would he know what kind of person he was facing.
However, the other party didn't give him the chance to do so. He didn't notice when they came, and he couldn't stop them when they left. This feeling was really terrible.
He had thought that he had a grasp of the situation in the Seven Kingdoms of Dacheng, but it was clear that something had gone wrong in the Kingdom of Pei.
The information gathered by the Wild Fox Tribe was obviously wrong, so he had to personally investigate.
Furthermore, what the other party said about the situation at the border should be correct. There was no need for him to come all the way here to lie to me.
However, he still had to investigate the details. Pei Guo was actually able to extend his hand into the Desolate Great Swamp, and this made him somewhat uneasy.
All in all, he could forget about cultivating in peace. He had a premonition that the Seven Nations of Great Cheng would soon experience an unimaginable upheaval.
…
At the border of Ze Country, in a wetland.
The noisy croaking of the frogs and the wet sensation from their clothes woke the unconscious people up.
Tu Xiong, Lady Storm and Taoist Master Peach Blossom opened their eyes one after another, wading through the water in a daze.
"Where is this place?"
Tu Xiong looked around in bewilderment. His last memory was a bit hazy. He only remembered that his vision went black, and then he lost consciousness.
"You're actually still alive!" Lady Storm was shocked to see him. She clearly remembered that before she fainted, Tu Xiong had mysteriously disappeared.
The two of them were confused and looked at Taoist Master Peach Blossom. Taoist Master Peach Blossom had a strange expression on his face. "The two of you are actually still alive."
"What about Chen Yi?"
The three of them quickly remembered that the team was still missing one person. After searching around, they quickly found the unconscious Gu Chen in a corner.
Soon after, the three of them woke Gu Chen up and asked him what he remembered.
"I only remember that the three of you mysteriously disappeared one after another. I was in a hurry to escape, but it seemed like something had grabbed onto me, and then I lost consciousness. When I woke up and opened my eyes, I saw the three of you. Could it be that this is the Underworld, and we were cursed to be dead? "
Gu Chen's answer was almost the same as what the three of them remembered. The three of them ignored him and started to ponder on their own.
Of course, they couldn't be dead. Right now, they were obviously still in the swamp, and seemed to have reached the outer area.
However, Gu Chen's words reminded them that the situation in front of them was very similar to the rumored curse.
It was rumored that people who trespassed into the Desolate Swamp would mysteriously disappear, and when they reappeared, their corpses would be thrown outside the swamp.
Their disappearance and waking up here was very similar to the rumored curse, except that they were still alive, and not corpses!
What exactly was going on?
Tu Xiong and Lady Storm were confused. Only Master Peach Blossom seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes flickered.
Gu Chen noticed the expressions of the three of them, and stood up to tidy up his dirty clothes.
The three of them were naturally thrown here by him. The three of them were unconscious the whole time, and had no idea what had happened. Their thoughts were easily led to the direction of the curse.
As for why they were still alive despite being cursed, Gu Chen didn't need to explain, because he was also a victim.
Tu Xiong and Lady Storm had escaped from death, and would only feel that they were lucky, and would soon forget about this matter.
Even if they felt that it was strange, they didn't know about the existence of the Hidden Dragon Clan, so they wouldn't be able to find any results.
As for Master Peach Blossom, he was very likely to be Ye Wunian's true confidant, which meant that he knew about the existence of the Hidden Dragon Clan.
Since he knew about the existence of the Hidden Dragon Clan, he was clear that there was no curse, and that the Hidden Dragon Clan was playing tricks.
Considering Ye Wunian's intention of cooperating with the Hidden Dragon Clan, he would only help cover up this matter, and wouldn't expose it.
Therefore, he didn't need to do anything. Everything that happened in the Desolate Swamp wouldn't be known by anyone in the outside world, unless the Hidden Dragon Clan leaked the secret.

The Hidden Dragon Clan didn't want to be involved with the Revolutionary Army too early, so they wouldn't expose him for the time being.
This period of time was a rare opportunity for him. Ye Wunian didn't know that he had formed an alliance with the Hidden Dragon Clan, but he knew of his identity as a member of the Revolutionary Army.
He could use this opportunity to further observe Ye Wunian and the Revolutionary Army, and determine if they could be of use to him.
Although Li Wuwei and Zhou Fengling were sure of the Revolutionary Army's value as an ally, this matter was too important. Gu Chen still wanted to get in touch with them himself.
It was impossible for him to find Ye Wunian directly, reveal his identity as the Glorious Ancient Overlord Body, and hope that the Revolutionary Army would follow him.
That would be too stupid. The bigger the power, the more complicated it would be. Only the power that he fought for himself would be truly reliable!
"Although we don't know what happened, we're very lucky to have escaped death. Since the mission is completed, we should leave as soon as possible to avoid any more complications. "
Master Peach Blossom interrupted their thoughts, and he smiled in relief. "This time, the three of you have made a great contribution. I will report to the Pavilion Master truthfully. Generous contributions are waiting for you. However, remember, this mission is top secret. After you leave this place, do not reveal anything related to it. "
