Chapter 1997

After chatting with Gu Chen, Sage Liu's original enmity towards the Chen Clan had mostly disappeared. This matter was no longer as simple as it seemed, and continuing to stir things up was not beneficial to him.

"Do you think this matter is over just because I'm backing out? If Ancestor Mu really wants to force Sage Chen out, even if I'm not willing, he will force me to act, "Sage Liu said bluntly.

Liu Sheng said straightforwardly. He wanted to hear whether Gu Chen had any solution.

Gu Chen felt much more at ease when he heard this. It seemed that Sage Liu was not stupid. There was room for cooperation!

"An esteemed guest has come to visit, so tea should be served. Sage Liu, this way please!"

Gu Chen decided to invite Sage Liu into the house for a chat. The eavesdropping incident had left a shadow in his heart.

"No need, here is fine."

Sage Liu flatly refused. As if he had seen through Gu Chen's thoughts, he added. "If you are worried that someone will eavesdrop here, you can be at ease. Mount Fixed Sky and the city below are all under my control."

"Oh?"

Gu Chen seemed to be deep in thought. He looked at the verdant garden and continued the previous topic.

"Ancestor Mu's will cannot be defied. Even if Saint Liu doesn't act against the Chen clan, I'm afraid that others will come. Since that's the case, why don't Saint Liu continue acting with Ancestor Mu? This is the most beneficial for us, especially you, Saint Liu."

"What do you mean?"

"If the ancestor really appears, then I promise Sage Liu that he will spare your life."

"That's right, then I thank you." Sage Liu's face darkened.

"This way, Sage Liu's life will not be in danger. Regardless of whether the ancestor or Ancestor Mu wins, it will have nothing to do with Sage Liu."

"If the ancestor wins, Sage Liu will be an ally of our clan. This jade dynasty will be given to you directly!"

"If the ancestor loses, Sage Liu will have made a contribution to Ancestor Mu. At the very least, Ancestor Mu will not take away the territory that you have seized."

He had to admit that the other party's ability to paint a picture was quite impressive. Sage Liu was a little moved. He realized that this was the best choice.

"What if Sage Chen doesn't appear?" he asked.

"Then the final victor will definitely be you, Liu Sheng. It's just that you have to follow my script!" Gu Chen's eyes lit up.

No one knew how far Ancestor Mu wanted to go, and he had spent a lot of effort on the Chen Clan. He was definitely not willing for them to suffer too great of a loss or even be unable to recover from this setback.

A crippled Chen Clan was useless to him, and the Chen Clan Leader knew many of his secrets. When the time came, he would have no choice but to kill him!

Because of this, if they couldn't resist Ancestor Mu's will, he hoped that the casualties would follow his wishes. The Chen Clan definitely couldn't be harmed!

"I roughly understand what you mean. It's just that Ancestor Mu isn't a fool. If the Chen Clan doesn't pay the price, he won't be satisfied. How many people do you want to sacrifice? How many important people will be sacrificed? "

Liu Sheng said calmly. In his opinion, this was equivalent to scraping the bones to cure the poison, and it was a choice he had no other choice.

There was nothing that could be done about it. Circumstances were stronger than people, and there were very few people in the Second Mountain and Sea who could defy Patriarch Mu's will!

"This …"

A look of hesitation appeared on Gu Chen's face. He had just thought of this method, but he still hadn't made up his mind on how to carry it out.

"I'm afraid this isn't something that can be decided by you alone, right? I can give you a few days to think about it. "

Liu Sheng was unexpectedly understanding. When Gu Chen heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

This method had been thought of on the spot, and it was inevitable that there would be loopholes. He needed a few more days to think about it.

Just a few days was not enough to make Ancestor Mu impatient.

"Let's do it in three days. In three days, I'll appear here again. I hope that you'll have thought it through by then.

"Also, after I leave, release my people. Take it as a sign of our sincerity in working together."

After saying this, Liu Sheng's figure dissipated into light, and he left just like that. He didn't ask how the Hakone Saint had died.

"Boss, can this person be trusted?"

The Clay Bodhisattva asked in a low voice, as if he was afraid of being eavesdropped again.

Liu Sheng had been convinced too easily. He didn't even get to the bottom of the matter and asked some sensitive questions, which made him feel a little uneasy.

"This person is not simple. After confirming that our plan has more advantages than disadvantages, he no longer hesitated and chose to cooperate with us."

"As for whether deceiving Ancestor Mu would bring about a great disaster, he didn't even consider it at all. It can be seen that he's an ambitious person."

"We can cooperate with this person. It's better to have one more friend than one more enemy."

Gu Chen didn't lower his voice as he spoke to the verdant garden.

When the Clay Bodhisattva heard this, he nodded. He believed that Gu Chen's judgment was right.

"Let him go. Be more polite."

Gu Chen instructed the Clay Bodhisattva again before leaving.

In a forest not far from Mount Dingkong, Liu Sheng, who was sitting cross-legged on a piece of dead wood, opened his eyes at this moment. He smiled, then got up and flew back to the Green Willow Sacred Ground …

On the same day, the three demons were sent out of Mount Dingkong. The news that Gu Chen had captured the three demons of the Green Willow Sacred Ground in one battle had also reached the ears of the elders of the Chen Clan who were stationed in various places!

"Yunfei is actually so powerful? Good! Good! This has greatly increased the prestige of the Chen Clan! "

When the Great Elder Chen Shanming heard the news, his face flushed with excitement. He felt honored and laughed out loud.

"How is that possible? That Pu Yao's strength has reached the peak of the Seven Star Beast. Even the Great Elder and the Clan Leader may not be his match. How could a little brat like Chen Yunfei defeat him? "

After the Fourth Elder Chen Qinghe asked for the details, he was extremely shocked and even doubted the authenticity of the news.

However, the situation at that time was witnessed by many people in the ancient city of the Chen Clan, so it couldn't be fake!

After the shock, Chen Qinghe's eyes flickered and he quietly left the place where he was stationed. After making a big circle and confirming that no one was following him, he came to a remote mountain forest.

Not long after, a griffin flew across the sky. After circling once, it landed in front of him.

"What's the matter?" The griffin asked.

"There's news from Mount Dingkong …"

Chen Qinghe hurriedly reported the news about Gu Chen in detail.

"This Chen Yunfei's strength is unexpected. Although he has the Five Elemental Dao root, it's impossible for him to cultivate to such a level at this age without help."

"Ever since he returned to the clan, I've always felt that something was wrong with him. In order to be loyal to Ancestor Mu, to Lord Li Tian, and to prevent the Chen Clan from colluding with the Pei Dynasty, I've always been against him."

"Now that he has displayed such strength, I'm worried that he will harm me. I hope that the messenger will report this to the higher-ups and let Lord Li Tian understand the difficult situation I'm in."

Chen Qinghe said everything in one go and then gave a flattering smile. He stuffed a storage ring into the griffin's hand.

"Understood, I'll pass on your words truthfully."

The griffin kept the storage ring quietly, then flapped its wings and flew away in the rising air.
