Chapter 95

Gu Chen left the Celestial Court's branch and returned to the Greedy Wolf City.

He told Huang Pingzhang about it right away.

"That old hag is in the same team as you? Isn't that too much of a coincidence?" Huang Pingzhang was shocked.

"I'm afraid it's not a coincidence. I was too careless. I didn't wear my mask when I accepted the mission."

Gu Chen thought about it carefully on his way back. The reason why those two people could join his team so coincidentally was most likely because they were exposed in the Merit Square that day.

"So you are indeed inexperienced. Let's not talk about it for now. Since Qianjue has her eyes on you, are you still going to accept the mission? "

"With her viciousness, she might have set up a trap for you."

Huang Pingzhang's face was solemn.

"This is my first mission since I joined the Celestial Court. I don't want to give it up just like that."

Gu Chen said.

That was not the main reason. He didn't want to miss out on the Nether God Palace.

"Giving up on the first mission might affect you a little, but it's better than risking your life. Have you ever thought that other than Qianjue and Shi Cong, there might be other companions in your team? "

"That's why I delayed my return by a day. I need your help this time, Brother Huang."

Gu Chen said seriously.

He didn't want to follow the team to Qisha City unprepared. That was why he delayed his return by a day. With one more day, he could still plan.

"The Old Man will do his best to help you. What do you plan to do?"

Huang Pingzhang said seriously. He finally had a chance to repay Gu Chen's kindness.

Gu Chen then told Chen Fan about his plan.

"Good idea! Qianjue and Shi Cong only know that Brother Chen is good at archery. They don't know anything else. Maybe it will work! "

Huang Pingzhang's eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his face.

"Let's meet that old hag tomorrow!"

A cold light surged in Gu Chen's pitch-black eyes.

…

Early morning, outside of Qisha City.

On a hill, nine figures dressed in white robes and wearing bronze masks stood.

Among them, a slightly hunched old woman with a walking stick was particularly eye-catching.

"Why isn't he here yet?"

Shi Cong stood beside Qian Jue Granny with an impatient look.

Everyone had been there for a while, but Gu Chen was nowhere to be seen.

Honestly speaking, if he was Chen Gu, he would not have come here to die even if he knew that he was no match for Thousand Jue Granny, who had attained the Divine Power Perfection Realm.

Therefore, he was a little worried that he wouldn't be able to see Chen Gu's miserable end today.

He had already made a deal with Qian Jue Granny. If he killed Gu Chen today, he would buy back his purple bow from her at a high price.

Ever since he lost his bow, his archery skills had dropped by at least 85%. His heart was about to go crazy.

"Our mission this time is to investigate the movements of the Nether God Palace. Our informant is waiting for us near the city gate. He will bring us to Cao Xuanbin."

The seven assassins were discussing the specific arrangements for today's mission. Because of yesterday's argument, Qian Jue Granny did not get along with them at all.

Shi Cong was now following Qian Jue Granny's lead, so he did not dare to get close to the others.

"Daoist Qian Jue."

After the seven assassins finished their conversation, one of them walked towards Qian Jue Granny. His tone was much gentler than yesterday.

"We had some misunderstandings yesterday, but it's just a small conflict. Since we are going to fight together today, I hope that Daoist Qian Jue can prioritize the mission. "

Their tone was very restrained, no longer disrespecting the new assassins.

Shi Cong was secretly amused. Following Qian Jue Granny was indeed the right choice. She was so powerful that ordinary bronze assassins would not dare to offend her.

"I'm not a petty person. As long as you don't ruin my plan, I won't make things difficult for you."

Qian Jue Granny spoke with her hoarse voice.

The group of assassins looked at each other. After thinking for a while, the leader of the assassins continued.

"Daoist Qian Jue, we know that you have a conflict with Daoist Chen. The Celestial Court is not strict about this. If you are somewhere else, we won't interfere."

"It's just that Seven Kill City is a little sensitive right now. The people from Underworld God Palace are currently chasing after Cao Xuanbin. Once you guys start fighting here and alert them, it will be much more difficult for us to secretly investigate."

"Also, according to reliable sources, Acheron Tower has been active in this area recently. We really shouldn't fight among ourselves."

"Therefore, we hope that when Daoist Chen arrives, Daoist Qian Jue will temporarily bury the hatchet and settle the score with him after the mission is completed."

What he said was reasonable, neither too light nor too heavy. If it were any other sensible person, they would have agreed to it.

But Qian Jue Granny chuckled. "You want to stop me from killing that brat Chen Gu?"

The seven assassins were stunned. "I hope Daoist Qian Jue can consider the bigger picture."

"Bigger picture? It's just a small investigation mission. If it wasn't for the fact that I want to kill that brat, I wouldn't even bother participating. "

"Since the nature of the mission is investigation, it's normal that we don't find any clues."

Her words immediately enraged the seven assassins.

"Qian Jue! You don't care about this mission. It's your business. Don't disturb me. I need the merit points to complete the mission! "

"Daoist Zhu, there's no need to be polite with this old woman. We're speaking to her humbly, but she won't even take a step back!"

The assassin in charge of negotiating with Qian Jue saw that his companions were enraged and quickly tried to calm them down.

"Daoist Qian Jue, please take a step back. Don't fight with Daoist Chen here."

The cultivator with the surname Zhu said solemnly.

"I will definitely kill that Chen Gu. You just need to stay out of this." Qian Jue Granny's tone did not change.

"No matter what, we're all assassins of the Celestial Court. Since we're in a team, we're comrades. How can we let you kill your comrade in front of us?"

"Daoist Qian Jue, let me remind you with my experience. As assassins, when faced with dangerous missions, we can only trust our comrades from the Celestial Court. If you insist on doing things your own way, you won't be able to go far! "

The cultivator with the surname Zhu was clearly enraged by the end of his words.

"Those who are too weak need to team up. With this old woman's many years of experience in the cultivation world, comrades are only a burden."

Qian Jue Granny still did not seem to listen to his advice.

"Since that's the case, don't blame us for being merciless!"

The cultivator with the surname Zhu's voice turned cold. The seven of them spread out and formed a triangular formation, vaguely surrounding Qian Jue Granny.

Since soft tactics didn't work, they decided to take down Qian Jue Granny. They couldn't let her ruin their plan!

"You want to kill me?" Qian Jue Granny hit the ground with her walking stick and sneered.

"It's just that you can't ruin the mission. When the mission is over, we'll hand you over to the Celestial Court."

"Of course, if you insist on fighting to the death, you can't blame anyone else for your death!"
