Chapter 841: Parting ways

Ate and drank enough.

Chen Guanlou decided to part ways here and go their separate ways.

Zhang Daohe didn't quite approve. "Has Brother Chen ever thought that once you return to the capital and appear in the Heavenly Prison, the sects of the world will move at the news. The Embroidered Uniform Guard definitely won't let you go either. At that time, there will be big trouble waiting for you. Brother Chen, why not learn from me, find a hidden place to go into seclusion, and wait until the day of breakthrough before returning to the world."

Chen Guanlou nodded. "Brother Zhang's words make sense. However, I have my own reasons for wanting to go back. The consequences you mentioned have all been considered, and for the time being, they won't dare to do anything to me."

"Brother Chen, you are too confident. The Hou Fu is indeed very powerful. But the Hou Fu can protect you for a while, but not for a lifetime. This trip down to the underground palace, such a big leak, people outside are probably looking for us, wanting to kill us both to get rid of us."

Chen Guanlou laughed. "You're wrong, they want to kill you! Such a big leak, all because of you. Those who died should all be counted on your head. The skeletons at the underground palace entrance, you'd better find someone to bury them, don't leave the corpses in the wilderness. Secondly, I separated from you as soon as I entered the underground palace, and I was seriously injured in the underground palace. After finally coming out, I have been healing. What happened in the underground palace, I know nothing about."

Eh?

Zhang Daohe clicked his tongue. "You think if you say so, those people will believe you?"

"Does it matter if they believe me or not? Those who went down to the underground palace, it's impossible that they all came out together, right. The scenes I saw, everyone had their own encounters, I think the time of entering and exiting the underground palace must also be different. Why catch me alone and ask. Can't I be seriously injured?"

Chen Guanlou sneered, then continued, "Brother Zhang, you'd better not worry about me, worry about yourself first. You are the target of public criticism, causing such a big movement, using all martial artists as sacrifices, killing too much, causing too many deaths. You are full of sins, and all major sects in the world regard you as an enemy."

Hearing this, Zhang Daohe laughed heartily, looking indifferent. "Regard me as an enemy, but they have to have the ability to kill me."

After coming out of the underground palace and resting, he regained his confidence as the Bai Lian Sect leader, controlling everything. He didn't take the major sects of the world seriously at all.

He even dared to overturn the imperial palace, so what are mere sects.

In front of the Bai Lian Sect with huge strength, and the Bai Lian Sect with followers all over the world, the sects of the world are just little brothers, brothers among brothers!

Even the Embroidered Uniform Guard can't do anything about the Bai Lian Sect, so I don't believe mere sects can do anything.

"Then I wish Brother Zhang success in what he wants, and let's drink together another day." Seeing that the other party wasn't worried at all, Chen Guanlou didn't want to say more and left decisively.

"Brother Chen really wants to return to the capital?"

"Otherwise? Rebel with you. If I wanted to rebel, I would have acted eight hundred years ago, why wait until now. Besides, your sect is like an evil cult, with no appeal. Take care of yourself, and don't come to disturb me if there's nothing. Remember to pay on time, I don't like owing accounts here. Whoever owes me an account usually doesn't have a good end."

Zhang Daohe was unconvinced. "How is it an evil cult. Brother Chen, don't talk nonsense."

"Whether it's an evil cult or not, you know it in your heart." Chen Guanlou sneered. "Now, you and I only have the relationship of creditor and debtor, remember to pay, don't forget!"

"Brother Chen has such a cruel heart. At least we are in a relationship of life and death, and you turned your face and didn't recognize anyone just one day after coming out."

Chen Guanlou picked his ears. "Don't say it so ambiguously, as if I have an unspeakable relationship with you. If you were a woman, wouldn't I be unable to wash myself clean even if I jumped into the Yellow River. It's just a money relationship, so don't talk nonsense."

Zhang Daohe laughed upon hearing this. "Understood. Brother Chen wants to draw a line with me, this cult bandit leader, so I won't force you. You are an official, I am a bandit, indeed I can't make it difficult for you. Rest assured, the money will arrive soon, and I hope Brother Chen will be safe and sound."

"Thanks for the concern, definitely better than you."

Chen Guanlou didn't want to say more, flew away, and quickly disappeared into the mountains and ridges.

He sneaked all the way, and when he reached the capital's territory, he revealed his true appearance.

He didn't rush back to the capital, but stayed in an inn outside the city to find out the movement in the city first.

Just four words: The capital is peaceful.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard took large-scale actions, but didn't disturb the people in the capital; they knew nothing about what happened thousands of miles away.

However, he still got a piece of news that was a bit useful.

Around the Mid-Autumn Festival, the imperial army launched a large-scale attack on the Chu King rebels, and a comprehensive counterattack battle was fought. There are rumors that during this period, the Chu King sent a mysterious unit to leave the battlefield and go deep into the mountains. Folk legends say that the Chu King is preserving his strength, and some say the Chu King has hidden the sharp weapon that truly determines the outcome of the war in the mountains...

Chen Guanlou:...

Zhang Daohe caused such a big movement, there's no reason the Chu King's side wouldn't know. Since they knew, under normal circumstances, it would be reasonable to send people to mix in, to fish in troubled waters.

Around August 15th, how many of the martial artists gathered in the small town and the sects that appeared at the underground palace entrance were Chu King's people?

That night, how many people entered the underground palace?

The Chu King and the imperial court, the Chu King's subordinates and the Embroidered Uniform Guard...

The war between the imperial court and the Chu King was still in a stalemate, with the overall advantage on the imperial court's side. The Chu King contracted his defense line, and the imperial court recovered a large amount of lost territory.

This comprehensive counterattack organized by Xie Changling achieved initial huge victories. His right to speak in the court increased accordingly, and his status rose with the tide. Without surprise, within a year or two, he would ascend to the supreme position of prime minister and become the head of all officials.

After resting in the inn for two days, finding no danger, he prepared to return to the capital openly.

Who would have expected that danger would come looking for him that night.

Seeing Zhou Mobai, only one thought flashed through Chen Guanlou's mind: this disaster actually didn't die, actually came out alive.

Heaven has no eyes!

The disaster surnamed Zhou, living in the world is a waste of food. Such a strange ancient tomb actually couldn't trap this person.

"Seen Senior."

No matter how unhappy he was inside, facing a Grandmaster, he had to do enough etiquette, not giving people a chance to pick faults.

"Back?"

Zhou Mobai took the initiative, sitting in the guest room, his expression cold, as if someone owed him eight million and hadn't paid it back.

"Thanks for Senior's concern. Junior hurried back after healing his injuries."

"Injured?"

Chen Guanlou nodded. "Fell into an illusion, encountered poisonous insects and poison gas, almost lost my life in the ancient tomb. Fortunately, I brought antidote pills and saved my life."

"Oh?" Zhou Mobai was clearly half-believing. "You weren't with Zhang Daohe?"

"Don't dare to deceive Senior, as soon as I entered the underground palace, the person disappeared. The underground palace entrance is very strange, I'm afraid it's an immortal method."

Chen Guanlou was telling his encounter half-truth and half-false. The encounter was true, but it was just missing a protagonist. ===== CHAPTER 842 =====
