Chapter 1877

After meeting Mourning Yan and provoking him for a while, Gu Chen left the Dragon Village.

Along the way, he was silent and spent most of his time thinking. He was no longer as youthful and energetic as before.

The reason why he made this trip was that after Qiankun Association failed to assassinate him last time, Gu Chen realized that he had truly entered Qiankun Association's line of sight.

How far could Qiankun Association investigate him?

Ming Shou had collected some information from his battle with him. How far could they analyze him?

Moreover, was Mourning Yan the only person Qiankun Association sent to the Ancestral Land this time? Would there be others involved?

These were all things he wanted to know. Only by understanding the situation as much as possible could he have a better grasp of the situation.

Because of that, he had come, and this trip had not been in vain.

On the surface, Ming Shou's conversation with him seemed to be provoking his relationship with Wu Lie and Ya Huan, but in reality, he was trying to probe him.

What he did not know was that while they were probing him, he was also probing them.

From Ming Shou's words, he was at least certain that Qiankun Association had found his connection with the Luo Sect and suspected that he was related to the disappearance of the Luo Sect. However, other than that, he did not discover anything else.

This was also a flaw that Gu Chen had deliberately left behind when he first stepped into Peidu, so he was not worried at all.

To be honest, Qiankun Association had only discovered this flaw now. Their slow reaction was already somewhat out of his expectations.

There was another gain from this trip, and it was also the most important one.

Through deliberately provoking Mourning Yan, he was certain that the one who made the decision between Mourning Yan and Ming Shou was actually Ming Shou.

After learning that Mourning Yan was a famous middleman in the Dark World, Gu Chen was a little surprised because it did not match his impression of Mourning Yan's character.

Back then, in the final battle of the Chaotic Myriad Spirit List, Mourning Yan was defeated by Heaven's Equal Immortal Emperor. However, he refused to accept the result and even offended him in front of many Dao Lords.

If not for Dao Lord Heaven Eye pleading on his behalf, Gu Chen might have killed him on the spot.

Gu Chen's original impression of Mourning Yan was that he was extremely talented and ambitious, but he was impulsive, easily angered, and lacked brains.

He thought that the other party's temperament might have changed after a hundred years, but when he probed him just now, he realized that the other party's temperament had not changed at all.

Yet, as soon as Ming Shou spoke, Mourning Yan restrained himself. This meant that although Mourning Yan's status was higher on the surface, Ming Shou was actually the one making the decisions.

Dark Hunter must have contributed a lot to Mourning Yan's success in the Dark World.

"He was killed twice, yet he is still alive. I wonder how many Nether Hunters there are and how this fellow was born."

"It would have been fine if he was just a simple killing machine, but he just so happens to have a high IQ. If I'm not careful, he'll see through me and send the information to an unknown place."

"If every Nether Hunter shares the same brain, then the problem will be even more troublesome."

Gu Chen frowned slightly and muttered to himself in his heart.

This time, he was prepared to make a move on Mourning Yan.

Mourning Yan had followed Fang Yuan to the Dao World 655 years ago and worked hard to become a General Star. This meant that he had a lot of information about Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan had come to the Dao World with a purpose. Gu Chen was very sure that Fang Yuan wanted to understand his thoughts so that he could deal with the problem.

The Qiankun Association's entire organization's secrecy system was watertight. The low-level spies could not dig out any useful information and could only target people like Mourning Yan, who were close to Fang Yuan.

Gu Chen had originally thought that the Blazing Sun Clan's ancestral land was isolated from the outside world and that it was a fight for the throne. This was the best opportunity for him to make a move on Mourning Yan.

However, with the addition of Ming Shou as an uncertain factor, his confidence had greatly decreased.

First of all, it was useless to kill Ming Shou and keep it a secret. All his memories before his death would be transmitted to a certain place. Gu Chen was not sure if the Blazing Sun Clan's ancestral land could cut off this transmission.

Second, Ming Shou had enough influence on Mourning Yan, which made it difficult for him to make use of Mourning Yan's personality.

Apart from these two points, Gu Chen did not know if Ming Shou himself had any unknown secrets. This fellow was a man-made monster, and he could not be judged by common sense.

Now that he recalled the night when Luo Sect was destroyed, Gu Chen could not help but secretly rejoice that he had not made a move on Mourning Yan at that time.

If he had made a move on Mourning Yan at that time, Ming Shou would have definitely transmitted the information to Fang Yuan, which would have been equivalent to him taking the initiative to inform Fang Yuan that he had come to the Dao World.

Moreover, Ming Shou had done something very secretive in his mind. If he had not been paying attention at that time, he might not have discovered anything strange. He might have exposed himself in front of Fang Yuan without realizing it.

In that case, given Fang Yuan's personality, he might have pretended not to know that he had come and secretly set a trap for him. He might have fallen into the same trap that he had fallen into in Chaos Sea!

Gu Chen had not made a move on Mourning Yan at that time because he had considered the risk. However, he had not expected the risk to be this. Fang Yuan's methods were really hard to guard against.

If Ming Shou was not dealt with, Gu Chen would not be able to make a move on Mourning Yan with peace of mind.

And if he could not take down Mourning Yan, Gu Chen would not be able to obtain any useful information about Fang Yuan.

Gu Chen had undoubtedly fallen into a predicament, and he was thinking of a solution.

"I have to divert Ming Shou away from Mourning Yan's side. It would be best if he does not enter Scorching Sun Clan's ancestral land."

Gu Chen's gaze flickered incessantly. It was very difficult to accomplish this.

Just as he was about to leave the dragon village, Ye Mi returned with a heavy expression.

Seeing her, Gu Chen's heart moved.

"How is it? Has Pavilion Master come to Beijing? "Gu Chen transmitted his voice.

Ye Wu Nian had designs on Great Cheng Imperial Court. According to Gu Chen's conjecture, with such a huge change, Ye Wu Nian was very likely to come to Beijing personally.

It would be great if he came. Gu Chen pondered if he could get him to deal with the problem of Ming Shou.

Hearing Gu Chen's voice transmission, Ye Mi was quite surprised. After thinking for a while, he also sent a voice transmission to Gu Chen, "I haven't heard from the Hall that my foster father has arrived in Beijing. Why do you think so?"

"He did not come?"

Hearing this, Gu Chen fell silent. He was a little surprised.

Was he wrong? Did Ye Wu Nian not think too highly of Great Cheng?

Or was Ye Mi deceiving him?

"Then why do you look so worried?" Gu Chen did not answer Ye Mi's question and changed the topic.

Ye Mi hesitated for a moment and transmitted her voice: "I heard that my third sister and fourth sister are also in Beijing."

"Oh? What are they doing here? "

"To carry out a mission, of course."

Ye Mi replied, but her expression was somewhat complicated. Clearly, it was not as simple as a mission.

"They are in the city. I want to meet them."

Ye Mi thought for a moment and suddenly said to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen was even more surprised. In his impression, Ye Mi did not have a good relationship with her sisters. Moreover, weren't her third and fourth sisters the women of the Craftsman and the Whisperer?

The Craftsman and the Whisperer had died because of him. Her two sisters might have heard something, so it was not a wise choice to meet them.

"Be careful and come back soon."

Seeing that Ye Mi seemed to have a knot in her heart, Gu Chen did not ask any more and agreed.

Therefore, on the way, Gu Chen casually made up an excuse that he wanted to buy some Beijing specialties as gifts and asked Ye Mi to buy them alone.

He and the Clay Bodhisattva followed Crow Huan back to Heizi Mansion.
