Chapter 1992

"It's normal for some people to die accidentally during a war. Send our people out to deal with these troubles in secret."

Gu Chen said calmly. If he handed the list to the Chen Clan directly, they would definitely ask about the source of the information, which might expose their secret.

It was impossible for these spies to surrender without putting up a fight, and they would definitely deny it. He did not want to confront them when the time came, and it would cause conflict within the Chen Clan.

Assassination was the simplest way. At this juncture, the Chen Clan did not have the time to investigate the murderer, let alone link it to him.

"Understood."

The Clay Bodhisattva took the list from Gu Chen's hands and left quickly.

In the next half a month, the Chen Clan's achievements in various places continued to expand, and the news of victory came one after another. At the same time, the number of casualties also increased.

This included the dozens of people who were secretly killed by the assassins arranged by Gu Chen.

These dozens of spies were secretly cultivated by the Jade Clan and the Green Willow Holy Ground for many years. Suddenly being killed in such a concentrated manner naturally aroused the suspicions of the two forces.

However, they did not suspect Gu Chen, but that the Chen Clan had long known the identities of these spies and took the opportunity to kill them all.

Therefore, the Chen Clan became more troublesome and troublesome in the eyes of the two forces. They could see through the identities of the spies long ago but did not expose them, allowing them to bring out information all these years. This meant that the information they brought out was not important, and the Chen Clan had hidden more unexpected strength.

Combined with the rapid expansion of the Chen Clan during this period of time, the two forces finally admitted that the strong clan that was once on par with them had returned!

Two months later, the turmoil in the Jade Dynasty reached a watershed. The small forces were basically annexed or subdued, and the competition between the Jade Clan, the Green Willow Holy Ground, and the Chen Clan officially began.

Originally, it was just to divide the benefits of the Eight Branches Holy Ground. However, after a round of bloody shuffling, the strong stayed strong, and the small forces that were able to drag out an ignoble existence completely disappeared.

The situation in the Jade Dynasty was unprecedentedly clear. Under Saint Willow's power, the Green Willow Holy Ground annexed the most forces and territories, and was now the number one force in the Jade Dynasty.

The Chen Clan seized the second most forces and territories. From the original seclusion, they directly became as influential as the Eight Branches Holy Ground and seized countless resources.

In comparison, the Jade Dynasty gained the least. This clan had never been good at fighting and was used to living comfortably. They did not have the fierce spirit of the other two forces.

At this point, the elders of the Chen Clan were very nervous, knowing that they might officially face the Green Willow Holy Ground.

No one knew whether the Green Willow Holy Ground wanted to stop or wanted to take the next step and wanted to take the Chen Clan. No one knew.

The aftereffects of swallowing so many territories suddenly became apparent. The Chen Clan's combat strength was limited, and in order to consolidate their gains, they could only scatter their people. The elders were stationed in different areas.

The prohibition of Dingkong Mountain was also fully activated. The elders had sent messages to Gu Chen many times to remind him to guard the mountain gate well. They were afraid that the Green Willow Holy Land would capture the leader first and destroy Dingkong Mountain.

The situation was very sensitive. Gu Chen thought that the Shepherd Clan would intervene, but there was no movement. No one contacted the Chen Clan.

The situation was very sensitive. Gu Chen thought that the Shepherd Clan would intervene. Unexpectedly, there was no movement. No one contacted the Chen Clan.

This was a bad sign. If the Shepherd Clan did not express their stance, Saint Willow would definitely make a move and attack the Chen Clan at any time!

"Did I miscalculate?"

Gu Chen frowned. He could not guess what the Shepherd Clan was thinking. He could only think of a way to contact the Great Prophet.

If Saint Willow really attacked, he could not do anything while everyone was watching. Only the Great Prophet could stop Saint Willow.

However, when he finally contacted the two Prophets of the Luo Men, Qiao and Qiu, they brought bad news.

"Patriarch Mu has invited you. The Great Prophet has already arrived. We can't contact him now."

Patriarch Mu!

The Dao Ancestor behind the Mu Dynasty, one of the top cultivators of the Primordial Dao World, had actually been taken away by him!

The sudden occurrence of such a thing at this critical juncture made Gu Chen feel uneasy.

Could it be that Patriarch Mu had sensed something?

He did not know if the Great Prophet was dead or alive. Would he reveal his secrets?

Gu Chen could only ask the two Prophets for details. When he heard that the Great Prophet had received an invitation from Patriarch Mu and had taken the initiative to go, he felt much more at ease.

The Great Prophet had always been wise and could predict fortune and misfortune. If he had gone, he would not be so foolish as to go obediently.

In that case, Patriarch Mu might have another reason for inviting him. It should not be related to him.

"Didn't the Great Prophet leave any message for me?"

Gu Chen was speechless. Since he had taken the initiative to go, the Great Prophet should have had time to inform him of this matter.

"The Great Prophet only said that if Mr. Chen asks, say that the problem lies with the Chen Clan and has nothing to do with Mr. Chen."

Qiu conveyed the message truthfully, and Gu Chen fell into deep thought.

It had nothing to do with him. The Great Prophet was afraid that he would overthink.

However, if the problem was with the Chen Clan, what was going on?

Based on the current situation, allying with the Chen Clan to resist Liu Sheng was the best choice to protect the Mu Clan's interests in the Jade Dynasty. Was there some apprehension that caused the Mu Clan to be hesitant?

Also, if the Great Prophet was called away now, the Chen Clan would lose the backing of a saint. If Liu Sheng came, they would definitely be defeated!

"Could it be …"

Gu Chen pondered for a long time. His pupils suddenly contracted as he thought of someone!

The missing Chen Sheng!

He had more or less investigated the inside story of Chen Sheng's disappearance back then. On the surface, a tall tree attracted the wind and had offended too many powers, but in reality, he had aroused the suspicion of Patriarch Mu.

Chen Sheng was astonishingly talented. His self-created Three Fixed Saint Techniques could suppress the majority of the Three Thousand Minor Techniques. It was known as the pinnacle of the Great Dao of Saints, which showed how terrifying his aptitude and comprehension were.

It was normal for such a person to appear in Patriarch Mu's back garden to arouse his suspicion.

It was also at this time that Chen Sheng suddenly disappeared. Some said that he had been secretly killed by Patriarch Mu, while others said that he had sensed the danger in advance and had disappeared to avoid it.

That was something that happened a long time ago, and no one knew the truth. Even the Chen Clan couldn't confirm whether Chen Sheng was dead or alive.

If Chen Sheng really didn't die back then, then what Patriarch Mu was doing now could be understood.

He was testing to see if Chen Sheng would appear when the Chen Clan was facing a life-and-death crisis.

If the Great Prophet was here, Chen Sheng would know that the Chen Clan was protected and naturally wouldn't appear. Therefore, he had to ask the Great Prophet to leave.

However, if he wanted to use the lives of the entire Chen Clan to force Chen Sheng out, Patriarch Mu could have done so a long time ago. Why did he wait until now?

There were many doubts in Gu Chen's mind, but he also realized that things weren't good. When the realm of Dao Ancestor was involved, the situation had become unprecedentedly complicated!
