"Big Brother Gu, you don't know this, but the white ape often came to eat while you were away."
"It's so cute, and it even brought us food from time to time."
The girls began to discuss.
"Oh? What food did it bring you? "
Gu Chen raised his head in surprise as he ate.
"Look, it's all over there."
Little Sparrow immediately pointed to a corner of the room, a smile on her face.
In that corner, there were precious herbs such as Snow Jasmine, Wild Tortoise Shell, Dragon Beard Yam, and so on …
The corner of Gu Chen's mouth twitched involuntarily. It turned out that this monkey had not changed its ways and had been stealing a lot of things recently!
And now, not only did it steal for itself, but it was also willing to help others …
"The little white ape is amazing. It said that it picked all of these from the mountains."
"That's right, it even brought back a thousand-year-old Vermillion Blood Grass a few days ago. We still have it. Big Brother Gu, do you want it?"
Everyone was talking at once. Seeing that they were praising it, the white ape raised its chin high with a proud expression.
Gu Chen's forehead darkened. This fellow was a thief, but it still dared to lie and say that it picked them up. How could it be so thick-skinned?
"No need. You can keep them for yourselves."
Gu Chen shook his head helplessly. Although the white ape's medicinal herbs were of questionable origin, they were of great help to Zhao Rou and the others.
Although he often provided them with medicinal herbs that nourished their bodies, his body was greatly drained and his abilities were limited. The white ape could be considered to have indirectly helped them.
Now, four of the seven of them had reached the Ninth Tier of the Fleshly Body Realm. It was only a matter of time before they became cultivators. At that time, they would have the ability to protect themselves in this chaotic Baijing Prefecture.
As for which unlucky families in the city had their medicinal herbs stolen, he did not care.
How many of the commoners could afford to use these medicinal herbs? And how many of the forces in the city did not rob them by force?
Baijing Prefecture was like this. Gu Chen did not care whether these were ill-gotten gains or not.
After the meal, Gu Chen took his leave. He did not discuss the latest news about the Underworld God Palace with the seven of them.
He mainly came to see if they had any difficulties in their lives. Seeing that they were slowly getting rid of the haze of the past, the guilt in his heart disappeared a little.
Back at the Huang Residence with the white ape, Gu Chen immediately went to look for Huang Pingzhang.
After two weeks, Huang Pingzhang was clearly different from before.
His complexion was much rosier than before, and he looked younger, no longer lethargic.
"You broke through?" Gu Chen asked.
Huang Pingzhang smiled and nodded, "The Old Man has been trapped in the late stage of the Divine Arts for many years. The reason why he has been unable to break through is because of his old age and weak body, and the withering of his blood energy."
"With the help of the Dragon Tiger Life Prolonging Pill and the Essence Enhancing Pill, I've finally reached the perfected Divine Power level. I really have to thank you, Brother Chen."
Huang Pingzhang was clearly very happy. Not only had his lifespan increased, but his strength had also increased. In the future, if he was fated, he might even be able to step into the grand cultivator realm.
This was in stark contrast to his previous situation. Thinking of this, he felt even more grateful to Gu Chen.
"Looking at you, Brother Chen, you've also broken through to the late stage of the Divine Power level, right? Now that our cultivation has increased a lot, should we find a chance to get rid of that old woman Qianjue? "
"Given her personality, if you don't get rid of her, she will become a threat to you sooner or later."
Huang Pingzhang suggested. Although he had already repaid Gu Chen by recommending him to the Celestial Court, he still felt that it was not enough.
Especially since he wanted to tie Gu Chen to the Huang Family's warship, he was even more willing to help him get rid of his troubles and improve their friendship.
"That old woman must be dealt with, but I have something else to ask you, Brother Huang. It's about the mission I just accepted."
Gu Chen was very concerned about his first assassination mission. Although he did not have a team yet, he wanted to learn more about it through Huang Pingzhang.
Cao Xuanbin was currently in Baijing Prefecture's Kill City, and the Cao Family was a force under the Whale Alliance. Huang Pingzhang had been here for many years, so he could be considered a know-it-all.
"Kill City? This city is under the control of the Cloud Mist Sect. Is the mission you accepted related to the Cloud Mist Sect? "
Huang Pingzhang's face contorted.
"The Cloud Mist Sect? What a coincidence. "
Gu Chen was taken aback. He did not expect that Kill City was under the control of the Cloud Mist Sect, just like the Greedy Wolf City.
"The Old Man thought that Brother Chen had his eyes on the Cloud Mist Sect, but it was just a coincidence."
Huang Pingzhang smiled when he saw that Gu Chen's surprised expression did not seem to be fake.
"Why would I want to target the Cloud Mist Sect for no reason?"
Gu Chen could not help shaking his head.
Huang Pingzhang said slowly with a meaningful look in his eyes. "The Cloud Mist Sect is under the Whale Alliance, and its main sphere of influence is between the Greedy Wolf City, Kill City, and the Broken Army City.
"Brother Chen has already taken care of the Qian Family and Lan Family and unified the Greedy Wolf City. This has alerted the Cloud Mist Sect. The Old Man thought that Brother Chen wanted to take care of the Cloud Mist Sect as well to expand his sphere of influence.
"The Huang Family is the one who unified the Greedy Wolf City."
Gu Chen emphasized. Huang Pingzhang still thought that he was ambitious.
"The Huang Family and Brother Chen are one." Huang Pingzhang said with a smile.
Gu Chen did not bother to explain and continued to ask. "According to what you said, you should be familiar with Kill City, right? Tell me everything you know. "
Thus, Huang Pingzhang spoke freely, telling him about the situation in Seven Kill City, including the few relatively powerful forces.
By the time he finished speaking, Gu Chen had already formed a preliminary judgment of Seven Kill City in his mind.
"Kill City is different from the Greedy Wolf City. The Huang Family is the sole ruler of the Greedy Wolf City. Although the Cloud Mist Sect controls this area, we are in a cooperative relationship.
"Kill City is different. The families in Kill City were established by the old disciples of the Cloud Mist Sect, so they are completely under the control of the Cloud Mist Sect.
"Brother Chen, since your mission is to investigate, if you can get the help of the Cloud Mist Sect, you will be able to get twice the result with half the effort."
Huang Pingzhang suggested.
"Do you think the Cloud Mist Sect will help me?"
Gu Chen began to ponder. The ones they were dealing with were the forces of the Netherworld Deity Palace and the Yellow Spring Pavilion. If the Smoke Cloud Sect knew about this, they would probably avoid them like the plague. They would even agree to hand over Kill Seven City.
"Not likely. The feud between you and the Cloud Mist Sect is too deep." Huang Pingzhang shook his head.
"I only killed the Lan Family in front of Elder Wu. It's not like I have a feud with them, right?"
Gu Chen frowned.
"Ahem, there is something that Brother Chen might not know. The black market of the Smoke Cloud Sect has been having a lot of stolen goods recently. I heard that even the herb fields of their sect were robbed a few days ago. "
Huang Pingzhang coughed a few times and cast a meaningful glance at the white ape next to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen's face froze. Oh my god.
So White Ape was no longer interested in stealing from the Greedy Wolf City, and now he was stealing from the Cloud Mist Sect?
