Chapter 1991

Mount Dingkong suddenly became deserted. Even the Chen Clan's ancient city at the foot of the mountain was mobilized.

The Chen Clan used almost all of their strength to embark on the road of external conquest. The grievance brought about by years of poverty and weakness made every Chen Clan disciple work hard, vowing to make contributions.

Fourteen teams fought everywhere. Even though the remaining forces of the Eight Branches Holy Land could not withstand a single blow, they won almost every battle. Mount Dingkong received good news from all directions every day.

Gu Chen stayed behind to guard Mount Dingkong. In addition to cultivating, he would read the good news in his spare time, so that he knew the situation at the frontline very well.

The Chen Clan was indeed a hidden clan. The results they achieved in a few days exceeded Gu Chen's original expectations, which made his evaluation of them rise a lot.

Fighting for territory would inevitably harm the interests of the Jade Clan and the Green Willow Holy Land, so Gu Chen secretly ordered the Modest Pavilion to closely monitor the actions of the two forces to avoid any accidents.

But it turned out that he was worrying too much. The Eight Branches Holy Land had left too much of a fat piece of meat. All the forces mobilized almost all of their manpower to fight for territory. As for the places that were already occupied, most of them gave up decisively and looked for another place.

When a giant fell, there would be ants eating it.

This was a carnival of all the forces in the Jade Dynasty. It was not only the Chen Clan who took advantage of the chaos, but also many second and third-rate forces.

But this situation was destined to not last long. When the Eight Branches Holy Land's territory was divided, all kinds of annexation and fighting would follow.

The powerful forces would certainly not be satisfied, and the smaller forces would not be able to divide the spoils equally. So after a series of chaos, the only ones left would probably be the Green Willow Holy Land, the Jade Clan, and the Chen Clan.

When that time came, even Gu Chen could not accurately judge whether the three sides would fight to the death or stop fighting.

Although he was sure that the Mu Clan would not let the Green Willow Holy Land be the only force, wars were often full of variables. Until the last moment, no one knew who would win.

All he could do was try to grasp information faster than others and take advantage of the situation.

"Boss, I carefully investigated the Jade Clan and the Green Willow Holy Land's Spirit Wander Realm according to your instructions. They really have spies in the Chen Clan."

"These spies are now mixed in with the Chen Clan's troops. If we don't get rid of them as soon as possible, I'm afraid they will bring losses to the Chen Clan."

The Clay Bodhisattva approached Gu Chen and handed him a list.

Gu Chen took the list and casually opened it.

"There are quite a few of them."

Gu Chen smiled and shook his head. It was no wonder that Patriarch Chen was so worried about his own people that he even hid the inside story of the alliance from the Council of Elders.

Judging from the information Clay Bodhisattva had stolen from the two great forces in the Divine Ascension Realm, there were dozens of spies in the Chen Clan.

Of course, most of the people here weren't important higher-ups, and most of them didn't even have the qualifications to enter the Fixed Sky Mountain. They could only live in the ancient city at the foot of the mountain.

A few of them could be considered to have infiltrated the middle ranks of the Chen Clan. They were the more outstanding members of the second generation, and there were one or two names that Gu Chen had some impression of. He must have seen them at some gatherings.

"That guy is actually not a spy, it's a bit surprising. In that case, the Elders of the Chen Clan haven't been infiltrated. Patriarch Chen and the Great Elder have good foresight. "

Gu Chen teased with a smile after he finished reading the entire list.

The Clay Bodhisattva knew who "that guy" was. In fact, before sending him into the Divine Ascension Realm to steal information, Gu Chen had specifically mentioned this name in order to prevent him from missing anything.

"This Fourth Elder Chen Qinghe really can't find any evidence that he colluded with the Azure Willow Holy Land or the Jade Clan, but this person is indeed a bit suspicious," the Clay Bodhisattva said after thinking for a while.

"Oh? What's suspicious? "Gu Chen asked with interest.

After interacting with Fourth Elder Chen Qinghe several times, Gu Chen always felt that he was a bit strange.

This was not purely because he was against him, but because he was more fearless than the other Elders.

The Great Prophet was now the protector of the Chen Clan, but he dared to repeatedly question him in front of him, as if he was not worried that he would report him to the Great Prophet.

One had to know that even if a Saint killed him, the Chen Clan would not dare to say a word of complaint. Where did he get the confidence to question the sincerity of the cooperation between the Great Prophet and the Chen Clan, and even repeatedly sow discord between them?

Of course, there were occasionally people like this who were simply bold and spoke without thinking, but just to be on the safe side, Gu Chen still asked the Clay Bodhisattva to investigate him.

"According to the information that the Azure Willow Holy Land and the Jade Clan have on this Chen Qinghe, his aptitude in the Chen Clan was considered very poor when he was young. Even the opportunity to go out and gain experience was made an exception because his ancestors had made great contributions to the Chen Clan."

"Chen Qinghe traveled outside for about two years. When he returned to the Chen Clan, he began to stand out and rose rapidly, finally becoming an Elder," the Clay Bodhisattva explained.

Gu Chen understood what he meant. The Chen Clan used to live in seclusion, so it was not easy for the younger generation to go out and gain experience. Most of them were talented, such as Chen Huandong, who could be ranked in the top three of the younger generation in the clan.

If Chen Qinghe wanted to go out and gain experience, he would have to rely on the contributions of his ancestors, so it was obvious that his cultivation talent was not very good.

Such a person's fate had changed after going out for two years, rising all the way to the position of an Elder, which sounded a bit suspicious.

"There are many fortuitous encounters and opportunities in this world. Perhaps Chen Qinghe encountered some kind of special opportunity during those two years."

Gu Chen shook his head. The Clay Bodhisattva was purely guessing, and guesses could not be used as evidence.

"There is indeed such a possibility, but just because the Jade Clan and the Azure Willow Holy Land couldn't find any evidence of him being a spy in the Divine Ascension World doesn't mean that he's not a suspect."

"He may be a spy from another force, or the information in the Divine Ascension World might have been overlooked. After all, the Jade Clan and the Azure Willow Holy Land can't communicate with each other in the Divine Ascension World all the time. A spy of Chen Qinghe's level is highly likely to be highly protected, with only a few people knowing his identity."

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen seemed to be lost in thought. "What you said isn't impossible, but a spy at Chen Qinghe's level can't be easily supported by any force. In the Jade Dynasty, only the Jade Clan and the two Holy Lands have the ability to secretly train him and support him to the position of an Elder. "

"What if it's outside the Jade Dynasty?" The Clay Bodhisattva smiled.

Gu Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, "If it's outside the Jade Dynasty, then it's interesting. This information is very valuable. Continue to dig deeper into Chen Qinghe and find out where he went when he was young. "

"Yes."

The Clay Bodhisattva nodded and pointed to the list in Gu Chen's hand. "What about these people? Do we give the list to the Chen Clan?"

If the spy was not eliminated, the Chen Clan would suffer a big loss sooner or later.

At present, these people were still in hiding. They were probably planning to wait until the Chen Clan had occupied most of their territory before launching a fatal sneak attack.
