Chapter 2010

After a trip to the Primordial Swamp and returning to Peidu, the Luoshui Palace now had another resident cultivator.

This person looked old, and was said to be Jin Qiao's cousin, Jin Jian. After learning that his brother had become a capable subordinate of Emperor Pei's master, he specially came to seek refuge.

The Luoshui Palace had always been heavily guarded. Only a few people knew that there was one more person in the palace, so it naturally didn't attract much attention.

In comparison, the change in the Chen Clan of the Jade Dynasty was more concerning. Almost on the same day that Gu Chen returned, Liu Yan, Tang Xuance, Ye Mi, and even a few elders of the Hidden Dragon Clan all came.

After sending them off with great difficulty, Householder Peach Blossom, who was in the Jade Dynasty, sent another message and asked Gu Chen about what had happened to the Chen Clan.

The Chen Clan Leader was dead, and the Chen Clan was now under the control of Chen Qinghe, who was close to the Shepherd Clan and not on good terms with Gu Chen. With the intelligence network of the Revolutionary Army, it wasn't difficult for Householder Peach Blossom to find out.

However, he beat around the bush. He was probably instructed by the higher-ups of the Revolutionary Army.

The Revolutionary Army was his ally, and so was the Chen Clan. In other words, the Revolutionary Army and the Chen Clan were also potential allies.

That was probably what the Revolutionary Army was thinking. So if something happened to the Chen Clan, they naturally wanted to know the situation.

Gu Chen wrote back to Householder Peach Blossom and asked him to build an intelligence network in the Jade Dynasty according to the original plan. Now that the forces in the Jade Dynasty had been purged, it would be much easier for him to arrange spies among them since all the forces were in urgent need of fresh blood.

Gu Chen specifically mentioned the Chen Clan and asked Householder Peach Blossom to infiltrate the Chen Clan as much as possible. Although he didn't directly answer Householder Peach Blossom, it also meant one thing: his influence on the Chen Clan wasn't as great as before.

As for how Householder Peach Blossom would report this to the higher-ups of the Revolutionary Army, it wasn't Gu Chen's concern.

Although Householder Peach Blossom's intelligence network was useful, Gu Chen's focus had already started to shift. After some time, he would slowly transfer Ninja Hidden Dragon Clan's clansmen to Householder Peach Blossom. Then, he would give Householder Peach Blossom full authority to set up the intelligence network of the Jade Dynasty and even other places.

It would be best if Householder Peach Blossom could achieve some results. However, it would not matter if his results were limited, because he already had a better source of information …

A few days after returning to the Luo Water Palace, Gu Chen had been waiting. He was even in a somewhat restless state.

He was waiting for the Great Prophet, who had been invited away by Ancestor Mu. Now that the matters of the Chen Clan had come to an end, if everything went smoothly, he should be released.

If he regained his freedom, the first thing he would do would be to look for him.

Going to the Great Desolate Swamp to help Chief Chen with his tribulation had taken some time. Gu Chen reckoned that he would be able to see the Great Prophet soon after returning to Peidu.

However, the Great Prophet did not appear, and there was no new news from Luo Men, so he was somewhat worried.

He had complete trust in the Great Prophet's intelligence, but Ancestor Mu was no ordinary person after all. His strength was monstrous, and if he deliberately targeted him, it would be difficult for the Great Prophet to escape.

And once the Great Prophet was finished, he would definitely be implicated. This was something that would affect everything else, so he couldn't help but be nervous!

After returning to Peidu for a full half a month, the Great Prophet finally appeared in the Luo Water Palace safe and sound. This made Gu Chen completely relieved.

"What exactly is going on?"

Asked Gu Chen as soon as he saw him. Even though he had already avoided a disaster, he still didn't know why Ancestor Mu would suddenly target the Chen Clan and why so many Dao Ancestors were paying attention.

As the two talked, Chief Chen Wenfeng, who had already changed his appearance and assumed the name of Golden Sword, was beside them. Gu Chen wanted him to participate in order to increase the trust between the two sides.

Previously, he had done many things behind Chief Chen's back. Chief Chen had been forced to fake his death because of him, which could be considered to be very wronged.

Now, to repair the relationship between the two, time and sincerity were needed.

"Congratulations on breaking through and becoming a Saint, Chief Chen."

The Great Prophet was not in a hurry to answer Gu Chen's question. At a glance, he saw the disguised Chen Wenfeng and recognized his true identity.

"I just broke through by luck. Great Prophet, let's get down to business."

Chen Wenfeng shook his head, seemingly unconcerned, but there was still some joy between his brows.

When he knew that Ancestor Mu had his eyes on Fixed Sky Mountain, he had almost thought that he had no hope of becoming a Saint.

When he had transcended the tribulation in the Great Desolate Swamp, the power of the lightning tribulation had also shaken his Dao heart, and he had doubted whether he could survive it.

He had been extremely lucky to be able to become a Saint. It was all thanks to the transformation of his physique brought about by the Great Primordial Energy Technique.

The Great Prophet nodded and sighed while stroking his beard. "This time, Ancestor Mu has his eyes on the Chen Clan because of the phenomenon that happened in the Grand Primordial Demon Mine some time ago."

"Grand Primordial Demon Mine?"

Upon hearing that, Gu Chen's eyes flashed. This was the second time he had heard of this Grand Primordial Demon Mine from the Great Prophet.

This place was a famous life forbidden zone in the Dao World, and the reason why it was dangerous was said to be related to a certain Glorious Ancient Overlord Body in the history of the Tyrants!

"What does the phenomenon in the Grand Primordial Demon Mine have to do with the Chen Clan?" Chen Wenfeng was confused.

"Rumor has it that Saint Chen did not disappear back then. Instead, he was persecuted by the Dao Ancestor and had no choice but to escape into the Grand Primordial Demon Mine."

The Great Prophet casually spilled out a shocking secret. It was unknown whether he had predicted it or heard it from somewhere.

"What? Ancestor was in the Grand Primordial Demon Mine? "Chen Wenfeng was instantly moved.

"It's just a rumor. The Old Man can't be sure either. However, not long ago, a shocking phenomenon suddenly appeared in the Grand Primordial Demon Mine. It's said that such a phenomenon only appears when a Dao Ancestor is born. "

"After that, Ancestor Mu suddenly targeted the Chen Clan. Combining these two incidents, the rumor that Saint Chen escaped into the Grand Primordial Demon Mine might not be false."

As the Great Prophet explained one by one, Gu Chen finally understood the ins and outs of the entire matter. Chen Wenfeng also became excited.

"In that case, Ancestor might still be alive and has even entered the Dao Ancestor Realm?"

After searching for his ancestor for so many years, this was the best news Chen Wenfeng had ever heard!

"If Saint Chen is still alive and has already entered the Dao Ancestor Realm, why would he sit and watch the Chen Clan's second Saint fall?"

Gu Chen understood the Dao Ancestors' train of thought and sighed. These words poured cold water on Chen Wenfeng's head.

"That's right. Saint Chen didn't appear when the Chen Clan was in danger, so the possibility of the phenomenon in the Grand Primordial Demon Mine being related to him is not high. Of course, even Dao Ancestors don't dare to enter the Grand Primordial Demon Mine easily. No one knows the specific situation inside, so there's no way to determine that it has nothing to do with Saint Chen. "

The Great Prophet's words were as good as not saying anything. Gu Chen frowned and stared at him.

This old man had previously revealed to him that Saint Chen might still be alive, but now he was being ambiguous. Who knew if it was because Chen Wenfeng was present.

"No matter what, some news is better than no news at all."

Chen Wenfeng finally adjusted his state of mind and regained his confidence from his disappointment. He smiled.

He had been searching for so many years. What he was most afraid of was that there was no news of his ancestor. Now that he finally knew where he went, and he had broken through to become a Saint, he should be happy.

Chen Wenfeng suddenly had the thought of going to the Grand Primordial Demon Mine to investigate. He was no longer the clan leader, so he didn't have to worry so much.

If he was lucky enough to find his ancestor, it would be worth it even if he died!

"If Clan Leader Chen wants to go to the Grand Primordial Demon Mine, I, the Old Man, advise you to put it off for now."

The Great Prophet seemed to have seen through Chen Wenfeng's thoughts and reminded him.

"Why?"

"Although the Grand Primordial Demon Mine is a forbidden zone for life, why hasn't there been any news of the Dao Ancestor phenomenon? Have you thought about it? "

The Great Prophet's words caused Chen Wenfeng's expression to change slightly. Gu Chen's pupils also shrank slightly.

"Do you understand now? The Grand Primordial Demon Mine has been jointly sealed by various Dao Ancestors. Relevant information can't be leaked, let alone going there. "

"Especially since your identity is sensitive. If you go there and get caught, the consequences will be unimaginable."

The Great Prophet's words seemed to be directed at Chen Wenfeng, and Chen Wenfeng also took it as a sign. However, Gu Chen noticed that the Great Prophet glanced at him.

The Grand Primordial Demon Mine was related to the Tyrants' ancestor. As the Glorious Ancient Overlord Body, if Gu Chen went there now, he would be more sensitive and dangerous than Chen Wenfeng.
