Chapter 1999

When Gu Chen left the Chen Clan's secret place, Chen Clan Leader no longer had the mood to cultivate.

That night, he was so gloomy that he tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

The next day, Saint Liu came again, still using the Qi of Vegetation to transform. This time, Chen Clan Leader participated in the meeting.

"You're really bold. You should know that if this is seen through, both you and I will be finished."

Hearing about Gu Chen's plan, Saint Liu frowned and said.

"Saint Liu, are you afraid?"

Gu Chen only responded with a faint smile.

"If I was afraid, I wouldn't be standing here right now."

Saint Liu did not fall for Gu Chen's provocation and said seriously, "Remember, if your plan succeeds, the Chen Clan will owe me a favor, and you will owe me a favor!"

Gu Chen was slightly surprised. He thought that Saint Liu would hesitate. He had already prepared some words to persuade the other, but he did not expect that he would not need to use them.

This decisiveness was much better than Chen Clan Leader's. Gu Chen began to admire Saint Liu.

"Alright, no matter if it succeeds or not, I will owe you a favor. I will definitely repay you in the future," Gu Chen promised.

"It's best if you can repay me in the future. Let's collect some interest first. After this is done, I want half of the territory that the Chen Clan has conquered," Saint Liu added.

"One should not be too greedy. Saint Liu, don't forget that if I did not kill the Orochi Saint, the Green Willow Holy Ground would not have been able to obtain such a large territory so easily."

"Moreover, the Shepherd Clan will definitely need to maintain the balance after this. Having too much territory might not be a good thing for the Green Willow Holy Ground."

Gu Chen said calmly. He actually said that he was the one who killed the Orochi Saint in front of Chen Clan Leader.

Clan Leader Chen was already surprised by Gu Chen's calm and unruffled manner when he was negotiating with Liu Sheng as if they were equals. When he heard Gu Chen's casual words, he was even more shocked. Hundreds of thoughts flashed across his mind.

"Hmph, it's fine if you don't want the territory, but you have to tell me, how did you kill that old viper?"

Liu Sheng knew that what Gu Chen said was right. It would be good enough if he could maintain the territory that he had already annexed after the deal was done. It would not be good to be greedy, so he did not force it. Instead, he made a small request.

He had been fighting with the Orochi Saint for many years. He had always known that the venomous snake had hidden his trump card. It would not be easy to kill him.

A junior of the Chen Clan, who didn't seem to have reached the Saint Realm, was actually able to kill the Old Poisonous Snake. He still couldn't figure out how he did it.

Just now, when Gu Chen mentioned it himself, he could say that he had misheard. However, now that Sage Liu had asked him this question, Clan Leader Chen was instantly sure that Gu Chen had really killed the Hakone Sect Saint!

He pricked up his ears to listen, trying to figure out how he did it.

"Why don't you tell me first, Sage Liu? How did you eavesdrop on my conversation?" Gu Chen asked instead of answering.

"Your Excellency, that's not sincere. Since you and I are going to cooperate, I have to know your specific strength." Sage Liu looked dissatisfied.

"If I can find out how Sage Liu eavesdropped on my conversation, I might be able to find out where I'm lacking and nip the problem in the bud. This way, the next plan will be more secure." Gu Chen ignored his dissatisfaction.

"Don't worry, I'm an exception. Based on the restriction that Sage Chen left on Dingkong Mountain, you won't be spied on so easily," Sage Liu said.

The two of them tested each other and haggled for a while. In the end, neither of them got the upper hand.

"When I attacked that day, I would not show mercy, at least in the eyes of others."

Sage Liu gave up on talking nonsense with the stubborn Gu Chen and looked at Clan Leader Chen.

Clan Leader Chen's expression suddenly became a little nervous. He nodded seriously. "Sorry to trouble you, Senior."

This form of address was normal in the past. However, after Gu Chen, who was his junior on the surface, became friends with Sage Liu, Clan Leader Chen felt that it was a little awkward.

When Sage Liu heard this form of address, he looked at Gu Chen meaningfully and did not say anything else.

"Alright, I'm leaving. Good luck on that day."

After Sage Liu finished speaking, his body dissipated into green light and disappeared. When Gu Chen heard the last sentence, he had a bad feeling.

This guy did not gain any advantage in the negotiation. When the time came, he would probably vent his anger on Ye Futian.

"Fellow Daoist Chen …"

As soon as Sage Liu left, Clan Leader Chen could not help but question him. He wanted to ask but was stopped by Gu Chen with a wave of his hand.

He brought Clan Leader Chen into a house. After confirming that there were no green plants inside, Gu Chen set up a restriction. Only then did he feel at ease and start talking with Clan Leader Chen.

"Did you really kill the Hakone Saint?"

Clan Leader Chen blurted out with some resentment in his heart.

From his point of view, the reason why they were in so much trouble today was because of the Hakone Saint's death.

If the Hakone Saint didn't die, the Green Willow Sacred Ground would not snatch the territory, and the Chen Clan would not have a conflict with them. Naturally, the matter of Ancestor Mu would not have happened!

"Clan Leader, I know you feel wronged. It's my fault. I didn't expect such a turn of events to happen."

Gu Chen readily admitted his mistake. Initially, he only wanted to kill the Fear Castle Lord first. Killing the Hakone Saint wasn't that quick.

However, he didn't expect the Hakone Saint to be the Fear Castle Lord. Things were messed up and he had to bring forward his plan.

Otherwise, according to the normal progress, Clan Leader Chen would have finished his seclusion by the time he planned to kill the Hakone Saint. By then, the Chen Clan would have more confidence to enter the world again.

"You didn't expect this? Did you ask for my opinion before you attacked? Because of you, the Chen Clan is in a desperate situation! "

Clan Leader Chen was furious. He regretted that he had put away the Great Primordial Technique and focused on cultivation. He had forgotten to guard against Gu Chen.

Ye Futian had only been in the Chen Clan for a short period of time, but he had already brought the Chen Clan a crisis!

"Alright, I know that Clan Leader Chen isn't happy. It won't be too late for Clan Leader Chen to blame me after this crisis."

Gu Chen comforted him. He had purposely revealed the truth about the Hakone Saint's death in front of Clan Leader Chen because Liu Sheng already knew about it.

Since Liu Sheng already knew about it, it was better for him to tell Clan Leader Chen personally than to hear it from Liu Sheng.

Furthermore, he had purposely revealed some of his strength to give Clan Leader Chen confidence so that he would listen to his arrangements better.

"Can I still return to the Chen Clan after this crisis?"

Clan Leader Chen revealed a bitter smile. According to Gu Chen's plan, the Chen Clan would be able to survive to the greatest extent. However, he would have to conceal his identity from now on!

"That day will come. I promise you," Gu Chen said solemnly.

"Your promise? You aren't a Dao Ancestor. What's the point of your promise? I really regret getting on board this pirate ship of yours! "

Clan Leader Chen sighed. However, since things had come to this, he knew that it was useless to reprimand Gu Chen. He could only follow him to the end.

Gu Chen smiled without saying a word. The Clay Bodhisattva beside him looked at the helpless Clan Leader Chen and secretly shook his head.

Who said that the boss's promise was useless?

There were countless Dao Ancestors in the Primordial Dao World, but there was only one Brilliant Ancient Overlord Body!

Just like how Gu Chen had promised to avenge him back then, Clan Leader Chen would definitely not regret today's decision in the future.
