Inside the Chen Clan's secret place, the Clan Chief Chen was sitting upright, with the surging Dao power surging all over his body, and the face with his eyes closed was slightly sweating from his forehead.

Since he received the gift of Gu Chen's great energy technique and entered the retreat, he has maintained this state for many days.

With the cleansing of the body's tendons and marrow brought about by the Dayuanli Technique, Patriarch Chen's confidence in breaking through into the holy realm has greatly increased, and he has not been distracted during this period of time.

Whether or not one can break through the billion-level dao power is the watershed between the Seventh Realm and the Eighth Realm, an extremely insurmountable moat that has blocked the ambitions and dreams of countless geniuses throughout the ages.

The key to this insurmountable moat lies in the catastrophe of the saints.

If one wants to become a saint, one must go through calamities, and in this catastrophe, among the 10,000 monks who are at the peak of the seven stages, there is rarely one person who can succeed!

Because of this extremely unlikely chance, even though many powerful forces like the Jade Clan have many masters of the Seventh Stage, they are still unable to give birth to a saint!

Saints are too precious. Every time one is born, it will inevitably affect the structure of one side of the Dao world, and every time one falls, the turmoil caused is also extraordinary.

Recently, patriarch Chen has sensed that the doom of his saint is not far away, so he has become more and more focused, to the point where he doesn't care about external affairs at all.

No matter how fierce the turf competition among the various forces outside is, as long as he is promoted to become a saint, he will definitely have a place in the Chen family.

This is the reason why he prevented the elders from entering the world. For him, the most important thing now is time. As long as he is given enough time, he will become the second saint of the Chen clan!

clatter. clatter.

The sudden sound of footsteps made Patriarch Chen, who was practicing, frowned, feeling a little displeased.

He said earlier that no matter what happens, don't disturb his cultivation. Who is so ignorant and broke into the secret place?

The consciousness spread out and extended beyond the entrance of the cave. Clan Chief Chen raised his eyebrows and said via voice transmission: "Fellow Daoist Chen, come in."

Soon, Gu Chen's figure came in from outside.

"What happened?"

Patriarch Chen asked politely, the chances of him breaking through and becoming a saint can be greatly increased, thanks to Gu Chen gifting him the incomparably precious Dayuanli Technique, this kindness is extremely heavy, so even if his cultivation is disturbed, he still maintains his courtesy .

What's more, this elder in front of me knows better than any other elders about his own situation. He clearly knows that his retreat is for a breakthrough, and he still comes to disturb him. It must be something really important!

"The big thing is not good, we are being targeted by Mu Zu."

As soon as Gu Chen opened his mouth, Patriarch Chen turned pale on the spot, almost suspecting that he had misheard.

"What did you say? Well done, why did Ancestor Mu follow my Chen Clan? What did you do?"

Patriarch Chen suspected that Gu Chen had done something he shouldn't have done, because he knew very well that members of the Chen clan would never have the guts to provoke Mu Zu.

"This matter has nothing to do with me, I am afraid it is aimed at your ancestors."

Gu Chen explained in detail, when he heard that the Great Prophet had been invited away by Mu Zu, Patriarch Chen stood up on the spot, as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

"How did this happen? The ancestor has been missing for a long time, and the ancestor Mu didn't make trouble sooner or later. Why did you choose this time?"

"I reminded them not to act impulsively. They just want to compete with Qingliu Holy Land. Now it's all right, please come to the door! Chen Daoyou, why don't you stop them?"

"Just give me a little more time, just a little more time!"

Patriarch Chen had a sad face, and there were many complaints in his words. Gu Chen asked lightly: "Give you time, can you solve Mu Zu?"

Patriarch Chen was speechless for a moment, even if he became a saint, he might not be able to defeat Liu Sheng, let alone Daozu!

"The Chen family at this stage, even with all the power I can use, cannot be the opponent of Mu Zu. The most urgent thing is to find a way to find out why Mu Zu is in trouble at this time, and at the same time, think about it if Chen Sheng arrives. How can the Chen family protect themselves without showing up?"

Gu Chen reminded that the anxious patriarch Chen finally calmed down, thinking hard for a while.

"Unexpected! Ancestor Mu probably didn't come to test whether our ancestors are still alive just because I, the Chen family, entered the world again. They should have grasped some clues or got some news."

Patriarch Chen pondered that Gu Chen's thinking was the same as his. He thought that the ancestor Mu would use the Chen clan to check and balance the Qingliu Holy Land. He was right. The sudden change of mind should be due to some unexpected accident that they didn't know about!

"We have no way of knowing what news Muzu got or what clues he has. The good news is that he will not exterminate the Chen family just to test whether Chen Sheng is still alive." Gu Chen said.

"Why are you so sure?"

"Because Liu Sheng didn't know that he was being used by Mu Zu, and Mu Zu just followed the trend."

Gu Chen talked about the meeting between him and Liu Sheng, and also mentioned the cooperation between the two parties.

It was already two days ago that Liu Sheng showed up, and the three days that he had agreed with him would be approaching. After careful consideration, Gu Chen had also made a decision before coming here to look for Patriarch Chen.

"Can Liu Sheng be trusted?"

Knowing that he will cooperate with Liu Sheng to overcome this difficulty, Patriarch Chen is not without worries.

"Helping us is more beneficial than harmful to him, and he is not a timid person." Gu Chen said.

"Understood."

Patriarch Chen took a deep breath, "How do you want me to cooperate?"

It stands to reason that it is impossible for him to let Gu Chen be the master when it comes to the life and death of the Chen family.

However, the elders are all outside right now, even if they are there, they can't help much. On the contrary, Gu Chen already has a solution, so he can only listen to his suggestions.

"If Chen Sheng appears, there is no need to say anything, the situation is out of our control. But if he does not show up, we must minimize the casualties of the Chen clan, and at the same time make Muzu feel that the Chen clan has been forced to We've come to a dead end."

"The number of casualties is probably more than half of the Chen family's casualties, so that the ancestor Mu will be satisfied."

Gu Chen mentioned a rough figure, and Patriarch Chen immediately looked sad. "Absolutely not! If half of the tribe dies, why are we talking about a comeback from the Chen tribe? What qualifications do I have to be the chief of the tribe?"

He originally thought that Gu Chen had some tricks up his sleeve, but he didn't expect that the Chen family would risk his life to pile it up as soon as he opened his mouth!

"If the Chen clan didn't suffer enough casualties, how could Ancestor Mu believe that Sheng Chen is gone?"

"This half of the casualties must also include at least one-third of the elders and elite children. Only when there is a serious problem with the survival of the Chen clan and Chen Sheng does not show up, the ancestor Mu can dispel his doubts."

Gu Chen analyzed with a blank face, seeing patriarch Chen's face full of resistance, he estimated that it was almost done, and changed the subject.

"Of course, there is another way, so that most of the Chen clan don't have to die, and ancestor Mu will be satisfied."

"any solution?"

Patriarch Chen's eyes lit up immediately, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw!

"You! As long as you sacrifice the chief of the Chen family, the crisis of the Chen family will be disintegrated."

Gu Chen revealed the real intention of coming.
