Chapter 1909

"Chen Yi, it's great that you're safe and sound."

Ye Mi, who was high up in the sky, spoke with the joy of a girl.

She was really happy. She thought that Gu Chen was already dead. She didn't expect him to come out of the capital.

"I was just lucky to survive. It was very dangerous this time." Gu Chen shook his head and sighed.

Old Emperor Sheng's trap was very meticulous. Not only was Old Crow powerful, but he was also fearless in the face of death. This made Ye Futian feel touched.

If he hadn't accidentally discovered the Great Light Technique's Dao Spirit, he might still be trapped in the Scorching Sun Clan's ancestral land.

If he hadn't destroyed the Dao Spirit, it would have been difficult for him to escape from the heavily guarded capital even if he had left the ancestral land. He would have had to reveal his true identity and might have even been forced to flee for his life.

It could only be said that Old Emperor Sheng and Old Crow didn't make any mistakes. It was just that the situation wasn't on their side.

"It's not as simple as luck. You've hidden your strength so well."

Ye Mi smiled. She was surprised that Gu Chen could fly in the sky.

This was a sign of a Seven-fold Realm cultivator. This meant that Gu Chen had been hiding his true cultivation from the beginning.

No wonder Taoist Master Peach Blossom was no match for him. No wonder he could return safely from the Great Desolate Swamp. Ye Mi now had a lot more confidence in Gu Chen. She was glad that she hadn't chosen the wrong person.

Knowing that Ye Mi had misunderstood, Clay Bodhisattva opened his mouth. He wanted to say that Gu Chen hadn't hidden his cultivation at all. Instead, his cultivation had increased by leaps and bounds overnight.

It was too shocking to jump from the Fifth-fold Realm to the Seven-fold Realm. Clay Bodhisattva, who had witnessed the whole process, wanted to share it with someone.

However, since Gu Chen didn't say it, he didn't dare to say anything. Even if he did, Ye Mi might not believe him!

"Let's talk about something else. It was already late when I came out. Did you notice the Flaming Sun Prince and the others?"

Gu Chen was concerned about the whereabouts of Ming Shou and the Flaming Sun Crown Prince. He had instructed Ye Mi to keep a close eye on the situation in Beijing. Perhaps, Ye Mi might know where the two of them were.

Hearing Gu Chen's question, Ye Mi's expression became a little unnatural.

She recalled what her godfather had said to her before.

After sending off the Flaming Sun Crown Prince, a shocking explosion was heard in Beijing. So, she and her godfather secretly approached the area to find out what was going on.

Unexpectedly, that huge movement was actually caused by Gu Chen breaking the formation. Ye Mi, who was originally sad, was suddenly enveloped in a huge surprise.

As she watched Gu Chen escape from Beijing, she really wanted to chase after him. However, a large group of Crow Generals was about to rush out of the city, so she had no choice but to temporarily give up on the idea. Instead, she used her Hummingbirds to track down Gu Chen.

Following that, the mobilization of the Dacheng army exceeded her expectations. She was worried that Gu Chen would not be able to successfully escape from the Sheng Yang Territory. In her anxiety, she could only ask her foster father for help.

Under such circumstances, only her godfather could help reduce the pressure on Gu Chen.

However, after her godfather helped the Flaming Sun Crown Prince escape, Ye Mi knew very well that he might not be willing to help.

The Flaming Sun Crown Prince and Qiankun Group were Gu Chen's mortal enemies. If Gu Chen found out about this, his relationship with Wang Xian Pavilion would definitely become delicate.

In fact, her godfather could have helped Gu Chen the moment he escaped from Beijing. However, he had held back. It was very likely that he was considering the pros and cons of helping.

Ye Mi knew that her godfather might not help Gu Chen. However, if Gu Chen died, her fate would be unimaginable. Thus, she could only grit her teeth and ask her godfather for help.

"I will help him, but you are not allowed to reveal anything about what happened before to him. If he asks about the Flaming Sun Crown Prince's whereabouts, tell him that you don't know. "

"This is for his own good, and also for your own good. Now that he has displayed such great strength, I will increase my support for him. However, the premise is that there is no undue rift between the two of us. "

Her godfather's words were still ringing in her ears. The way he looked at her at that time made Ye Mi even more nervous.

Her godfather didn't need to explain anything to her. He could have just ordered her not to say anything. Yet, he had said so much.

The only possibility was that he had noticed something and started to doubt her loyalty!

Ye Wunian's name had been around for a long time. Coupled with the fact that he had indeed saved Gu Chen, Ye Mi finally said something against her conscience.

"I'm not sure. Previously, the buildings where the palace was located suddenly collapsed one after another. Following that, the entire capital was in chaos. The Crow Generals surrounded the area around the palace so tightly that not even a drop of water could pass through.

"After that, my godfather appeared and told me that it was not safe in the city. He took me away."

After Ye Mi's explanation, Gu Chen looked at her expression that quickly returned to normal and fell into deep thought.

"When did the Pavilion Master appear? Do you know where he went before this? "

Gu Chen continued to ask for more details. Emperor Sheng's death was too sudden. At first, he suspected that the Flaming Sun Crown Prince and Ming Shou were the culprits. However, after Ye Wunian appeared, he changed his mind.

The Flaming Sun Crown Prince and Ming Shou's strength was limited when the Ancestral Lands collapsed. It was unlikely that they had the time and strength to kill Emperor Sheng without alerting the Crow Generals.

However, Ye Wunian was different. Because of Ye Mi's intelligence, it was very likely that he had been hiding in the dark for a long time. He had ample time to kill Emperor Sheng.

Although Ye Wunian's strength had not reached the Sage Realm, without the Crow Generals to protect Emperor Sheng, it would be difficult for anyone in the palace to be his match.

Ye Wunian had designs on the Dacheng Dynasty. This was something Gu Chen had guessed long ago. Ye Wunian had the motive and strength to kill Emperor Sheng.

At this time, Gu Chen's focus was on Emperor Sheng's death. He did not consider the possibility that Ye Wunian might have saved the Flaming Sun Crown Prince.

After all, Ye Wunian had no motive to save the Flaming Sun Crown Prince. Although he noticed that Ye Mi's expression was a little strange, he did not think too much about it.

Ye Mi answered Gu Chen's questions one by one. She thought that he had guessed something and felt a little uneasy.

Ever since her godfather saved the Flaming Sun Crown Prince, things had spiraled out of control. She was a little confused and didn't know what to do.

Now that she thought back to how her godfather had agreed to give Gu Chen the information of the Seven Nations' secret members of Honest Pavilion, she realized that both of them were plotting something big.

She was caught in the middle of the most difficult situation. She could not afford to offend either side.

What worried her the most was that if one day, the two of them clashed with each other and fell out with each other, what should she do?

Fortunately, there was still room for negotiation. Since her godfather had saved Gu Chen, it meant that his intention of helping Gu Chen was most likely true!

Ye Mi did not know about Emperor Sheng's death. Gu Chen naturally did not get much useful information out of him. Thus, he gave up quickly.

"The border of the Sheng Yang Region is not far away. Let's go. We have to hurry back to Pei State!"

Gu Chen suddenly sped up and flew through the air, leaving the center of Dacheng.
