Chapter 1950

"As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. Hiding is not a long-term solution after all. Only with the right to speak will there be more possibilities and more bargaining chips."

"The enemy may be powerful, but they are not the only ones. The Old Man is willing to take the risk in exchange for a brighter future for the Luo Men."

The Great Prophet said meaningfully. He didn't answer Chief Chen's question directly, but he listened thoughtfully and was greatly touched.

"The enemy is powerful, but they are not the only ones …"

Clan Leader Chen mumbled to himself for a while before he came back to his senses. Then, he asked the Great Prophet solemnly.

"Great Prophet, you've said so much to me. I'm sure you're not just sighing with emotion, right? Does the Great Prophet have any suggestions? "

Gu Chen also looked at the Great Prophet. As the saying went, a bystander could see things clearly. The Great Prophet's words had more or less allowed Gu Chen to guess what he wanted to do, but he did not quite understand it.

"It was our mistake to borrow the name of the Chen Clan, but since it has already happened, we might as well make the best of it." The Great Prophet stroked his beard.

"What do you mean by making the best of it?" Clan Leader Chen asked in confusion.

"Since the outside world thinks that Chen Yi is a member of the Chen Clan, why don't you admit it? This can be used as a way for the Chen Clan to re-enter the world and probe the outside world. At the same time, the Chen Clan will gain us as allies. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone? "

The Great Prophet's words were pleasant to hear, but Patriarch Chen's eyes shone brightly. "Great Prophet, you want me to lie to the Dao Court's envoy? This is a serious crime! "

"Clan Leader Chen, you're exaggerating. The Chen Clan has been in seclusion for a long time. The outside world knows very little about the members of your clan. With Clan Leader Chen's ability, it shouldn't be difficult for you to arrange an identity for Chen Yi that won't be exposed."

"Since the risk is small, there's no serious crime to speak of. What's important is the benefits."

The Great Prophet smiled and suddenly pointed at Gu Chen.

"As you can see, Clan Chief Chen, now that you know our secret, Fellow Daoist Chen has a strong desire to kill you. If you can't reassure him, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave the Luo Water Palace alive. "

"As long as you lied to the emissary of the Dao Court, it would be equivalent to proving that you are on the same boat as us. Of course, Fellow Daoist Chen would have no reason to kill you."

Clan Leader Chen smiled bitterly when he heard this. Since he was certain that the Great Prophet was the mastermind behind Pei Chao, he naturally believed that his life was in the hands of the other party.

Now that the Great Prophet had mentioned Gu Chen, he saw it as a threat, both overtly and covertly, warning him that if he refused to form an alliance, only death awaited him.

Normally, he would have been infuriated by such threats, but the Great Prophet's words had touched him and made him seriously consider the possibility of an alliance.

Lying to the Dao Court was indeed a serious crime. However, what kind of place was the Dao Court? In essence, it was just a product of the game and compromise between various forces.

When Chen Sheng was still around, the Chen Clan had always been a thorn in the side of the various forces. Although they were content with their territory now, there were forces in the Dao Court who wanted to kill them. However, they did not dare to do so because they were afraid of Chen Sheng's death.

If Chen Sheng died, the Chen Clan would not survive either. In comparison, deceiving the Dao Court was nothing.

Moreover, the risk of this matter was extremely low. With his ability, he could indeed help Chen Yi 'an create a flawless identity. Even the Chen Clan would not suspect him, unless he leaked the secret himself.

By doing this, he could gain the trust of the Luo Sect. Not only could he leave safely, but he could also gain influence in the Pei Chao. It was indeed killing two birds with one stone!

The only thing he had to worry about was that once Chen Yi's identity as a descendant of the Chen Clan was confirmed, would it arouse the sensitivities of some important figures?

As the clan leader, a decision before him could affect the survival of the clan. Therefore, although Clan Leader Chen was tempted, he was still somewhat hesitant.

"There's something that Clan Leader Chen might not be clear about. The reason why Qiankun Group is willing to give up their operations in Dacheng and hand it over to us is that their leader has already formed an alliance with us.

"In other words, if Clan Leader Chen agrees to form an alliance with us, it's equivalent to forming an alliance with the Luo Sect, Modest Pavilion, and Qiankun Group at the same time."

Seeing that Clan Leader Chen was still not willing, the Great Prophet added another dose of medicine at the right time.

"That number one in the Legendary Rank has also formed an alliance with you?"

Clan Leader Chen suddenly raised his head, and his expression became very interesting.

He had heard about the leader of Qiankun Group for the past hundred years. Not only was he extremely talented, but more importantly, he had connections and resources!

That leader's teacher was the general manager of the Tianpu Taoist Court, and the Qiankun Group that he established had also recruited many members with powerful backgrounds.

It could be said that if he could establish a relationship with that person, the Chen Clan would be in a much better position from being isolated by all parties!

Clan Leader Chen was instantly tempted. In his opinion, the Great Prophet was no longer negotiating with him, but was giving him a chance, a chance that might only come once in a blue moon!

He did not doubt the veracity of forming an alliance with Qiankun Group, because Qiankun Group had indeed left Dacheng peacefully and decisively, without any signs of conflict.

If they had not reached some kind of agreement with the Luo Sect, how could they be so generous?

"Alright, if the Great Prophet doesn't mind, I'm willing to represent the Chen Clan and form an alliance with the Luo Sect and Fellow Daoist Chen's Wang Wang Pavilion!"

Clan Leader Chen said decisively. He was afraid that such a rare opportunity would slip away.

"Alright, since Clan Leader Chen is willing, then it's a happy ending. Fellow Daoist Chen, is the Old Man right? "

Seeing that the other party had finally relented, the Great Prophet smiled in satisfaction. At the same time, he looked at Gu Chen, the light of an old fox shining in the depths of his eyes.

Gu Chen was speechless. If the Great Prophet's words at the start could be said to be sincere, then the latter part about forming an alliance with Qiankun Group was pure deception.

On the surface, they had indeed formed an alliance with Qiankun Group, but they were actually enemies. Moreover, the premise of the alliance was that the rebel army was a strange thing.

The Great Prophet said to Clan Leader Chen that someone was targeting him because of the long-lost great prophecy technique, but he did not say that the person targeting him was Fang Yuan. Instead, he said that he had formed an alliance with Fang Yuan. Wasn't this a scam?

Furthermore, the Great Prophet had clearly appeared after he had finished interrogating Clan Leader Chen and was about to kill him, to achieve the effect of one being the bad cop and the other being the good cop!

From the start to the end, it was a meticulous plan to make Clan Leader Chen fall into his trap willingly. Gu Chen gained a deeper understanding of the Great Prophet's craftiness and treachery!

Gu Chen despised the Great Prophet inwardly, and was even more dissatisfied with the Great Prophet's scheme of not telling him the plan in advance. But since it had already reached this stage, he could not directly undermine him.

The Great Prophet was aware of the risk of letting Clan Leader Chen go, but he still chose to form an alliance with the Chen Clan. He must have considered it deeply, and might have even divined some kind of future.
