Chapter 809: Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to give up
"If they want to kill you, they can always find an opportunity. You want opportunities, don't the old Grandmaster guys want them too? How many years have they stayed in the Grandmaster realm; don't they want to break through, don't they want to step into the Great Grandmaster realm? They won't kill you in the underground palace, but they can wait until you come out to kill you. You ask me to protect your life; you think too highly of me."
Chen Guanlou laughed repeatedly, laughing at the other party for being too naive.
"As long as I come out of the underground palace safely, I have my own means of self-preservation!"
Zhang Daohe said confidently. As for what specific means of self-preservation, he didn't reveal a single word.
Chen Guanlou pondered for a while. "You mean, you want me to protect you safely into the underground palace and safely leave the underground palace?"
"Exactly!"
"Tsk! Brother Zhang, how come I smell a huge conspiracy. I feel like there is a huge pit waiting for me in front. You aren't treating me like a monkey, making me your scapegoat, are you?"
"Brother Chen, your paranoia is quite heavy." Zhang Daohe sneered.
Chen Guanlou was not laughing; life is at stake, how can one be too careful.
There is another more critical question: this opening of the underground palace, barring accidents, will gather the world's few martial arts powerhouses in one place. Since he stepped onto the martial path, this is the first time he has faced martial arts powerhouses of this scale. Who is who, he can't recognize. But others will definitely recognize him.
He is not in the martial arts world, but the martial arts world has his legends.
It is equivalent to him being an open card, while others are hidden cards.
Up to now, the people he has fought properly are just Master Qi of the Jixia Academy and Wu Xun. The match with Wu Xun was just a small test, and his foundation was seen as not solid enough.
Calculating this way, there is no chance of winning!
A hard battle!
This is a hard battle that will cost lives!
He drank wine and ate dishes, not responding to the other party.
Zhang Daohe was not in a hurry either, seemingly not worried about his identity being exposed.
"Brother Zhang comes and goes in the capital as if returning to his old nest. Are you truly not afraid of the Embroidered Uniform Guard catching you?"
"As long as Brother Chen doesn't expose my identity, why would the Embroidered Uniform Guard come to catch me?" Zhang Daohe smiled.
Chen Guanlou sneered. "I'm sorry to disappoint you, but that Grandmaster surnamed Zhou knows you are a religious bandit, and barring accidents, Wei Wubing should also know."
Zhang Daohe raised his eyebrows slightly. "They haven't seen me."
"Testing a few moves is enough to guess your identity."
A makeshift Grandmaster is nothing but a fart!
Do you really think the capital is a big sieve, and there is no one in the court.
"I'll kindly remind you one more time: the imperial family will definitely participate in the excavation of the ancient tomb. At that time, so many martial arts figures will gather in one place, and there will definitely be many Embroidered Uniform Guard spies mixed in."
Zhang Daohe nodded in understanding, not afraid at all. "I expected it long ago. The Embroidered Uniform Guard has the life to go, but I'm afraid they won't have the life to return."
Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows and smiled, his eyes looking like he was looking at a fool. "You can look down on the Embroidered Uniform Guard. However, have you ever heard of the City Gate Army?"
Zhang Daohe frowned slightly, not saying a word. Clearly, he had heard of the City Gate Army's prestige.
"The people of the City Gate Army, each one's identity is mysterious; they don't take the initiative to expose themselves, and no one can guess it. The imperial court doesn't have this government office, nor are there relevant file records, but everyone knows the City Gate Army truly exists. The Embroidered Uniform Guard is the surface, and the City Gate Army is the inside. Can you defend against the Embroidered Uniform Guard, but can you defend against the people of the City Gate Army? And those Grandmasters. Brother Zhang, you are playing too big a game, and you have also trapped yourself in it. Don't end up working hard for nothing and making wedding clothes for others!"
Chen Guanlou was sincerely advising and informing.
This trip is destined to be full of dangers, and the consequences are hard to predict. Zhang Daohe wants to be the biggest winner by relying on the power of the White Lotus Sect; have you asked the Emperor? Have you asked those Grandmasters?
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind! When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman gains!
For this kind of scene, he has always stayed away.
But Zhang Daohe won't give up, wanting to drag him into the water, and even asking him to protect his life. He truly thinks highly of him!
"Brother Zhang, why not give up."
He sincerely gave advice!
"Impossible!" Zhang Daohe spoke with decisive force, not allowing rebuttal. "Brother Chen, when did your courage become so small? As the saying goes, wealth is sought in danger. It takes several hundred years to open an ancient tomb from the early Great Yu Dynasty; are you truly not curious about the opportunities inside? As long as you step into the underground palace, perhaps there will be a chance to ascend to immortality and step into the legendary immortal world. Are you not tempted?"
Chen Guanlou laughed repeatedly, mocking the other party for being naive.
He knocked on the table and questioned: "Do you know what is called ascending to immortality? Let me explain it to you: the so-called ascension is death, which is corpse-dissolution. If you want to seek death, don't drag me along; I haven't lived enough yet.
Also, don't be so lacking in imagination; why not imagine the immortal world as a large martial arts world, where the weak are prey to the strong, and people kill to seize treasures. The weak have no place to stand, and the strong eat everything, even more so than the current world! The immortal world is good, but you have to have the life to enjoy it!"
Zhang Daohe raised his eyebrows slightly. "I naturally wouldn't be naive enough to think that the immortal world is truly all beautiful. However, on the martial path, if you don't advance, you retreat. Even if I die, please let me witness the magnificence of the immortal world first."
"Great ambition!"
But he has the Longevity Dao Fruit, and is more willing to take a steady path rather than taking risks to seek some opportunity. As long as he keeps living, as long as there really is an immortal world, one day, he will step into it and become a member.
He can afford to wait.
However, people in the world cannot afford to wait, because their lifespans are limited. They are urgently wanting opportunities, wanting to improve their realm, wanting to be higher and stronger.
"We've talked so much, please give me an attitude, Brother Chen?"
"I can't help you, but I'm willing to join in the fun. Brother Zhang, thanks to you thinking highly of me, I toast you!"
Chen Guanlou refused frankly.
Regardless of whether there is a pit or not, regardless of whether what the other party said is true or false, refusing is the right thing to do.
Joining in the fun and cooperating are two different things.
Zhang Daohe was obviously very disappointed. "Brother Chen, you are refusing a huge opportunity."
"You have to have the life to enjoy it! Why don't you tell me the address first, and I guarantee I will arrive before the fifteenth of the eighth month." Chen Guanlou teased casually.
Zhang Daohe smiled. "You are sure I will fail?"
"Seven or eight out of ten probability, you will become cannon fodder and be wiped out. I don't know how many life-saving means you have. However, in the face of absolute power, all calculations are in vain. There is more than just these few Grandmasters in the capital in the world. How many Grandmasters can you win over to stand on your side? How can you ensure that Grandmasters won't turn against you and deny their words? People like me who keep their promises are too rare!"
Chen Guanlou didn't forget to praise himself at the end.
Everything is afraid of comparison.
Compared with others, he found that he was so good that he was only short of a good person card!
Such a good person, yet he couldn't marry a wife who was of one mind with him; it was simply bullying people too much!
He sincerely advised the other party to have a tiger's head and a snake's tail, and not to go down to the underground palace. The underground palace is there and won't run away. When the time is right, go down to the underground palace to explore treasures quietly. ===== CHAPTER 810 =====
