Chapter 765: Bluffing to save his life

~8 min read 1,439 words

"According to what I know, Zhang Daohe is not the head of the Qinglian Sect at all; his true identity is a cult bandit of the White Lotus Sect! If you don't believe me, you can go back and flip through the case files. Back then, he was arrested and sent to prison as a cult bandit, and I personally imprisoned him. Later, he escaped from prison and has lost his trace since then."

Chen Guanlou said sonorously, firmly, and would not allow anyone to doubt. Just by saying 'flip through the case files,' it was known that his news source was through official channels and could not be fake.

The two Grandmasters turned their eyes to Wu Xun. What else does the Wu fellow have to say.

Wu Xun looked blank and innocent, "What cult bandit, what are you talking nonsense about. Zhang Daohe is clearly the head of the Qinglian Sect; I have known him for twenty years, how could I get it wrong."

"Heh!"

Chen Guanlou smiled contemptuously, as if everything was under control, appearing exceptionally determined, "The so-called head of the Qinglian Sect is probably just one of the many disguised identities of the Zhang fellow. His true identity is a cult bandit. If I'm not mistaken, he is also a high-level official among the cult bandits. You have been deceived by him!"

Wu Xun was clearly unconvinced and wanted to argue.

Zhou Mobai raised his hand to stop him, "Don't care what identity this Zhang fellow is, you, continue."

He pointed at Chen Guanlou.

Chen Guanlou didn't hesitate, "On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month this year, Zhang Daohe suddenly found me and tried to trick me into joining the White Lotus Sect to work for him. I hold the court's iron rice bowl and am a small official who can make decisions and has a leisurely life; what kind of brain-dead thing would make me run to do a business that would cost my head with him. So, I decisively refused him, and also advised him to turn back to the shore and let him lose his way and return.

The Zhang fellow saw that I didn't take the bait, but he really wanted to use me, so he spat out a few true words to me. The previous content is about the same as what Senior Wu just said, but he didn't point out that he found an early Great Yu ancient tomb, only saying he found an opportunity. However, this opportunity has encountered difficulties now, and he needs me to help him.

I guessed it, and knew this guy didn't have good intentions, wanting me to be his stepping stone, so naturally, I wouldn't agree. And to trick him, I casually gave him an idea to spread the news, attract many ninth-rank martial artists to gather, break the opportunity dilemma, and he himself would fish in troubled waters.

I really said it casually; who could have thought he would use such a method to spread the news, and pit me back. This is the whole process of the matter, every word is true, absolutely no concealment. Two seniors, Zhang Daohe is a liar full of lies; we have all been deceived by him!"

"Whether it's a liar or not, I have my own judgment, it's not your turn to worry about it." Zhou Mobai opened his mouth with a familiar taste, both irritable and manic.

"Amitabha, false and true, true and false. This Zhang Daohe is not simple!" Master Liaochen made a concluding statement, "This poor monk has really been out for too long, not knowing that there is such a cult bandit who is good at calculating people's hearts in the Jianghu. The opportunity of the ancient tomb he mentioned is probably true. As for him tricking the two of you into working for him, it is also true that the ancient tomb encountered difficulties. Perhaps there are really immortal means to defend."

As the words fell, he and Zhou Mobai exchanged a look silently, the meaning of which only the two of them understood.

At this moment, Chen Guanlou was facing a great enemy.

Will the two Grandmasters kill him and Wu Xun to keep the secret?

So he made a decisive decision and said loudly: "According to Zhang Daohe's calculation, I am afraid that this news has already spread to all ninth-rank martial artists in the Jianghu. When Zhang Daohe left, he once said that if I change my mind, find him before the fifteenth of August. I think the time he wants to open the ancient tomb might be around the fifteenth of August. Two seniors, since the news has leaked, why not wait and see what tricks Zhang Daohe is playing. All ninth-rank martial artists in the world must be under your control; not afraid of not catching Zhang Daohe's handle."

Three-party stance, Zhang Daohe naturally became a common enemy. Even if the other party wasn't, Chen Guanlou would fish in troubled waters and turn the other party into a common enemy.

As long as there is a common enemy, plus the news spreading, the bird monk and Zhou Irritable shouldn't be in a hurry to kill. He touched the ink jade pendant in his arms with one hand; once he found Zhou Irritable had the intention to kill, he would take it out to save his life.

Eunuch Wei is a good person, must bless everyone!

Zhou Mobai chuckled coldly, seemingly not listening to his words.

Master Liaochen pondered for a while and asked: "Are you sure Zhang Daohe will spread the news to the entire Jianghu?"

This matter is negotiable!

Chen Guanlou's heart was happy, and half of his life was saved.

He used his mouth cannon attribute to trick as much as he could, "Good to let Senior know, back then Zhang Daohe was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, and it happened to be my jurisdiction, and I talked to him. This person's heart is poisonous and deep; the early Great Yu ancient tomb he found must be full of mechanisms. One or two ninth-rank martial artists are afraid they can't open it.

Immortal means of defense, at least need a group of ninth-rank martial artists to be used by him. So, the junior dares to guess that the news will soon spread to the high-grade martial artist group in the Jianghu. We want to know Zhang Daohe's whereabouts, just watch the movements in the Jianghu.

When the ninth-rank martial artists gather, it is the time to take action. Of course, with Zhang Daohe's craftiness, there must be a backup plan. However, I believe that in front of the two seniors, all conspiracies and tricks are mantis trying to stop a chariot, overestimating their capabilities!"

"You kid is quite good at talking." Zhou Mobai sneered, "You are strange, young, with such cultivation. What secrets do you have, today I want to see."

After saying that, he reached out and grabbed Chen Guanlou.

"Master, save me!" Chen Guanlou shouted, the ink jade pendant was exceptionally eye-catching in the moonlight.

"Stop!" Master Liaochen waved his sleeves to block Zhou Mobai, "A junior, why do you have to make things difficult for him. The ink jade in his hand was given by Wei Wubing; don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face."

Zhou Mobai was furious, "Bird monk, are you going to go against me?"

"Zhou Daoist, cultivate your body and nature, avoid irritability!" Liaochen made a Buddha salute with one hand and said "Amitabha!"

Chen Guanlou also followed with an Amitabha. If needed, he could announce now that starting tomorrow, he would convert to Buddhism and become a devout Buddhist.

Zhou Mobai was annoyed, pointing at Chen Guanlou, "Today you are lucky, be careful next time."

Chen Guanlou immediately made a respectful appearance, like a quail coward, but in his heart, he was cursing the irritable maniac, sooner or later he would go crazy and die.

Liaochen saw this and said "Amitabha!" again.

Then he said: "Since Chen little friend is familiar with Zhang Daohe's background, then please collect the other party's movements as much as possible, and go to Daxiang Temple at any time if there is news. As for you, Wu Xun, find a way to contact Zhang Daohe, inquire about more inside information, and it is best to inquire about the address of the ancient tomb. This poor monk will contact you at any time!"

Chen Guanlou and Wu Xun breathed a sigh of relief together; at this step, their lives were saved. ===== CHAPTER 766 =====
