Chapter 666
Gu Chen finally convinced the Heavenly Road Sect and the Penglai Immortal Island to take action against Gu Yuanshan.
Even though he had the motive to take revenge, what he said was reasonable. Gu Yuanshan was indeed the easiest piece of meat to take a bite out of.
The alliance of the three great powers was officially established. The plan was quickly carried out, and all of this was personally handled by Gu Chen!
That day, the moment Gu Chen and Wu Lingxian returned to the Fiend Ridge stronghold, he received a message that Cousin Lian Yue had asked Gu Bing to pass on.
The Great Elder wanted to see him!
Cousin Lian Yue told the Great Elder about what Gu Chen had seen and heard in the depths of the Deep Demon Sea. The Great Elder attached great importance to this and emphasized that he wanted to meet with Gu Chen.
When Gu Chen heard this request, he thought about it and decided to meet with him.
Even though the Great Elder had concealed the matter of his father from him, he had always treated him well.
Moreover, the ancestor's words were still fresh in his mind. Gu Chen knew that after taking down Gu Yuanshan, he needed someone with great authority in the Gu Clan to help push forward the cooperation.
And the Great Elder was a suitable candidate.
"This might be a trap. If you go, be careful of being caught," Wu Lingxian said lightly from the side.
Gu Chen and the Gu Clan had long broken off relations. If the Great Elder was just finding an excuse to lure him out, he might not be able to return. At the very least, he would be imprisoned.
"No matter what, we have to meet him. Speaking of which, this is also an opportunity for us."
Gu Chen muttered to himself.
"You mean …" Wu Lingxian understood and said. "Little fox."
… …
Gu Yuanshan's mood had been terrible recently.
Ever since he had come to the Deep Demon Sea to chase that damned Gu Chen, nothing had gone smoothly for him.
First, he was poisoned by him, and then he was injured by Tiandao Sect's Sect Leader. Until now, he still hadn't recovered from the hidden injuries in his body. No matter what kind of miraculous medicine he consumed, there was no effect, and he suffered from the torment of his injuries every night.
Almost every day, he would curse that damned Gu Chen, and every day, he would ask the Gu Clan's disciples, putting pressure on them to find Gu Chen's whereabouts as soon as possible.
However, Gu Chen seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth. No one had been able to find his whereabouts. This made him suspect that there was a spy in the clan.
The other party had repeatedly escaped from the Gu Clan's search net. If not for the fact that a spy had helped him escape, it would have been inexcusable.
Today, he sat in the hall of the temporary residence as usual, waiting for the reports from the disciples of the various branches.
Gu Shiming hurriedly came in from outside and reported. "Clan leader, there's news from the Dragon Chasing Bay in the south. The traitor Gu Chen has appeared there!"
Gu Yuanshan heard this and immediately stood up. "How credible is this news?"
"Someone saw him make a move with their own eyes, and it seems like he was injured. It should be quite believable," Gu Shiming said.
Gu Yuanshan's eyes flashed when he heard this.
Gu Shiming could be considered one of his people. Previously, he was the one who had reported Gu Chen's appearance in the ancient city of Deer Harbor.
If not for Zuo Chunqiu's interference, he would have successfully taken down Gu Chen last time, so he trusted him quite a bit.
"Have you told Grand Elder and the others about this?" he asked.
"I came to report to Clan Leader as soon as I got the news. I haven't told Grand Elder and the others," Gu Shiming said truthfully.
"Very good, don't leak this news for now," Gu Yuanshan sneered.
"This … Clan Leader should be going to capture Gu Chen. You shouldn't tell such important news to Grand Elder?" Gu Shiming's face showed hesitation.
"There's no need. We don't need that many people to capture that brat. Don't disturb Grand Elder," Gu Yuanshan said expressionlessly.
But in his heart, he was thinking that if there was a spy, it would definitely be someone on Grand Elder's side.
If he found out about this, Gu Chen might run away again. He had always been very clear that the First Elder still had hope for that boy. If he really let him go with him, the First Elder might even stop him from killing him.
Gu Yuanshan's killing intent towards Gu Chen had already reached its peak. He would not allow anyone to cause trouble.
"Wait for me outside first, we will set out to capture that brat later."
Gu Yuanshan gave a few instructions to Gu Shiming, then called over a clansman.
"Where are Grand Elder and Elder Xuan Wu?"
This was the spy he had placed on Grand Elder's side, in charge of watching their movements.
Ever since he became Clan Leader, he was full of distrust towards Grand Elder and his nephew Gu Xuan Wu, whom he had personally cultivated.
Of these two, one still had feelings for the Dao Shu Bloodline, while the other was stubborn, considering everything from the perspective of the entire Gu Clan. He did not plan much for his Spirit Platform Bloodline.
So, he arranged for people to monitor them, so that if there was any movement, he would know immediately.
"Grand Elder and Elder Xuan Wu have gone out, I don't know where they went," the spy answered truthfully.
"Gone out? That's good too, it saves me the trouble of explaining. "
Hearing this, Gu Yuanshan's brows relaxed. If he purposely did not say that he had found Gu Chen, it would be more troublesome for Grand Elder to question him later.
But since they were not there, he had a reason not to report. After he killed Gu Chen, everything would be done, and Grand Elder and the others would not be able to say anything.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuanshan's face was full of killing intent, and he immediately left the mansion, charging towards Dragon Chasing Bay!
…
On an inconspicuous hillside, Gu Chen sat cross-legged, his white hair fluttering in the wind, as if he was waiting for someone.
At a certain moment, three long rainbows sped over from afar, and finally landed on the hillside, transforming into Gu Lian Yue, Gu Yao, and Gu Xuan Wu.
"Greetings, Seniors," Gu Chen stood up and said politely.
Although his words were polite, there was a hint of unfamiliarity, unlike in the past.
Grand Elder and Gu Xuan Wu looked at Gu Chen, their eyes revealing a complicated expression.
At the Immortal Ascension Grand Assembly, Gu Chen took revenge for his father, severely injured Gu Zhaixing in anger, and then left in a huff.
At that time, they did not expect that a series of events would happen, which eventually led to Gu Chen joining the Martial Arts Hall.
And since then, Gu Chen's name had shaken the entire continent. Until now, his prestige was far beyond the reach of the other youngsters in the clan.
He was originally the pride of the Gu Clan, but now he had become a stranger.
The two came here today, on one hand, because what Gu Lian Yue said was too shocking, and on the other hand, they wanted to end the farce of their own clan killing each other.
The current situation was chaotic, and they did not want the Gu Clan to continue to be like a plate of loose sand. The betrayal of the Dao Pivot lineage had indeed brought a great impact to the clan.
"Gu Chen, we've heard about what you saw and heard in the Heaven Sinkhole's Earth Eye. Now, tell us about it again. Be more specific."
Grand Elder was the first to speak.
Gu Chen nodded, and then immediately told them about how he encountered the Immortal Corpse, how the ancestor with the Overlord Body helped him, how the other two ancestors sent him to a safe place, and what they told him.
"Stop him? Who does the ancestor want us to stop? "
Gu Yao and Gu Xuan Wu frowned deeply, not understanding the ancestor's meaning.
They found it hard to believe what Gu Chen had said. It was impossible for the Gu Clan to lead all their forces into the Heaven Sinkhole's Earth Eye based on his one-sided statement.
