Chapter 1873

After hearing the Clay Bodhisattva's words, Wu Lie's face looked much better.

However, Elder Chen was his trump card. He didn't want any accidents to happen, so he wasn't willing to let this matter go.

It wasn't good to directly reject him. That would mean that he didn't trust him. Wu Lie was thinking about how to reply.

At this moment, Crow Huan smiled and said, "Elder Chen wants to get in touch with Heaven and Earth Group. Are you referring to Mourning Yan?"

"Of course." The Clay Bodhisattva nodded.

"If you want to get in touch with him, there's actually a better place than visiting the Flaming Sun Crown Prince." Crow Huan said immediately.

"Oh? Where? "The Clay Bodhisattva glanced at Gu Chen.

Wu Lie's eyes lit up. "Brother Huan, are you referring to the Dragon Village?"

"That's right. Ever since Mourning Yan came to Beijing, he has never stayed a night in the Crown Prince's residence. He spends most of his time in the Dragon Village." Crow Huan said.

"What kind of place is this Dragon Village?" Gu Chen asked casually as he drank a mouthful of wine.

"The Dragon Village is the largest Dragon Battle Arena in Beijing. At the same time, it's also a black market. Some cultivators who wander the dark world would often conduct shady transactions there."

"This Dragon Village has existed in Beijing for a long time. They have done many things that violate the laws of Great Sheng. However, they are still safe and sound because the Flaming Sun Crown Prince is their backer!"

After Crow Huan explained, Gu Chen roughly understood what kind of place it was.

"Why would this Mourning Yan give up the Crown Prince's residence and go to the filthy Dragon Village?" The Clay Bodhisattva asked in confusion.

"Elder Chen, you might not know this. This Mourning Yan is not only one of the Generals of Heaven and Earth Group, but he's also quite famous in the dark world."

Wu Lie immediately explained. He wasn't surprised that the Clay Bodhisattva didn't know this. After all, the Chen Clan lived in seclusion, so it was normal that they didn't know about the outside world.

"This Mourning Yan is a famous middleman in the dark world. It's said that he secretly controls a huge amount of weapons trade. His channels are all over the Dao World. Not only do some rebel armies in the dynasty trade with him, but even some powerful people from famous families are his clients."

"It was said that he raised a large group of men of death. These men of death were extremely fierce and had contributed a lot to his rise in the Dark World."

"He's from the Dark World, so it's only natural for him to live more comfortably in the Dragon Village. It's also convenient for him to handle a lot of things."

Crow Huan explained further. He was obviously quite fearful of Mourning Yan's influence in the Dark World.

Gu Chen pondered for a moment after hearing that. The Great Prophet had mentioned Mourning Yan to him back then, but it wasn't as detailed as Crow Huan.

The so-called middleman was the person who mediated between the two great forces, thereby facilitating the transaction and earning commission.

As for the middlemen in the Dark World, the requirements for the middlemen were higher due to the fact that the two parties involved in the transaction were either extremely evil or the content of the transaction was completely illegal.

Gu Chen was a little surprised that Mourning Yan could create such a big force in the Dark World where all kinds of people were mixed up.

After all, although he had only met Sang Yan once in the Chaos Sea back then, he clearly remembered Sang Yan's character. Sang Yan's character did not seem to be able to handle such a complicated situation.

Of course, people could change. A hundred years had passed, and he had once been known as the number one prodigy on the Chaotic Myriad Spirit List. It was not surprising that he had improved so much.

"So that's how it is. Then I'll have to trouble Young Clan Chief to lead the way. The Old Man wants to go to the Dragon Village to take a look."

The Clay Bodhisattva exchanged glances with Gu Chen and immediately said.

"If Elder Chen wishes to go, of course there's no problem. We'll definitely have a battle with Mourning Yan in the ancestral lands. There's no harm in knowing who we'll be facing in advance."

Wu Lie didn't object either. She agreed without hesitation.

He was worried that if Elder Chen were to meet with the Flaming Sun Crown Prince, even if it was just to enter the Crown Prince's Residence, it might send the wrong message to the various powers in the capital.

However, Dragon Village was still fine. Moreover, Crow Huan was with them, so he was not worried.

"There's no time like the present. Why don't we go now?" the Clay Bodhisattva suggested.

"That's good too. Since we've eaten and drank to our heart's content, we can take a walk to digest the food."

Wu Huan agreed. He had previously offended someone, and now was the perfect time to make up for it and improve their relationship.

Thus, Wu Huan led the way. Gu Chen and the others left the Heizi Residence. Wu Lie did not follow them. Recently, he had a lot of things to do.

They soon arrived at the Dragon Village. It was located in the largest slum in the capital. The surrounding buildings were old and dilapidated, and there was no clear division of areas.

As soon as they entered the Dragon Village, they could see fighting dragons of different colors and shapes everywhere. Some were tied up by cultivators, and some were fighting in small circles. The surrounding cultivators were in high spirits.

Most of the fighting dragons were only slightly larger or more ferocious than the average dragon species. There weren't many pure-blooded dragons.

Fighting dragons were mostly trained from a young age. There wasn't much difference between fighting beasts, chickens, or crickets. It was just that it was more brutal. If one side didn't bleed to death, the battle would not stop.

Gu Chen personally saw a fighting dragon wail and fall in front of him. Its owner only cursed a few words before angrily throwing money at his opponent and leaving.

After that, the crowd dispersed, leaving behind a dying fighting dragon lying in a pool of blood, enduring the pain and passing away alone.

Seeing this, Gu Chen fell silent. Fortunately, Wuji Tyrannosaurus Rex wasn't here. Otherwise, even if these dragon species weren't real dinosaurs, it wouldn't feel good coming to a place like this.

Gu Chen bent down and gave the fighting dragon one last stab, ending its pain prematurely. Only then did he continue to follow the crowd.

As they entered the depths of the Dragon Village, they discovered that other than the endless dragon fighting competitions, they could often see some cultivators sneaking around in some of the dilapidated buildings.

Most of them were carrying out transactions, and the things they were trading were not allowed to see the light of day. There were people standing guard at the perimeter, and if any strangers approached, they would scold them and leave.

It was fine if they only scolded them, but if good people entered the Dragon Village, they would be killed on the streets if they weren't careful. Robbery and murder happened every day here, and it was a truly lawless place in Beijing.

Gu Chen's group was led by Crow Huan. Even though he was traveling in casual clothes, the Golden Crow Tribe's characteristics were too obvious, so no one dared to approach and harass them.

In Beijing, no one dared to provoke any Crow Generals, because they were the sword and shield of the dynasty.

When they passed by a building, Ye Mi and Gu Chen greeted each other and left quietly.

Gu Chen didn't ask any questions. He knew that Unwarranted Pavilion definitely had a branch in Beijing, and that most assassin organizations were established in chaotic places like the Dragon Village.

Having just arrived in Beijing, Ye Mi had to inform Unwarranted Pavilion's people here. That way, if something happened, they wouldn't be caught unprepared.

Crow Huan was slightly surprised by Ye Mi's departure. She was just a servant girl. What was she doing here?

However, he didn't ask any questions. The other three soon arrived at their destination.

"Elder Chen, Brother Chen, that's where Mourning Yan is staying in the city."

Gu Chen looked in the direction Crow Huan was pointing and saw a huge building in front of them. It was bustling with people.
