Fantasy: Starting with a bowl, you can exchange it for endless cultivation.

He arrived at the restaurant where everyone was holding a welcome banquet for him.

The heads of the other four major agencies have already arrived and are waiting for him.

Gu Chen, Qian Fu, and Mu Lei entered.

A dinner party.

Gu Chen chatted happily with the Lord of Li Huo Prefecture, the General of the Divine Guard of Li Huo Prefecture, the Director of the Supervision Department of Li Huo Prefecture, and the Director of the Divine Garment Department.

I drank quite a bit of alcohol.

This banquet.

The banquet was mainly for them to get closer to Gu Chen.

Amidst the praise of the crowd.

The banquet has ended.

Gu Chen became quite familiar with the four of them.

In the future, when we work together in the same government, it will be easier to ask for help from each other.

Gu Chen returned to his residence that evening.

After some thought.

Take out the copper bowl.

Put the silver in.

"I need to know the latest situation with the Yamamoto family in Japan. Some time ago, I led my men to arrest He Teng and destroy all their newly established smuggling dens. Have they sent any new powerful figures over? If so, are they secretly targeting me?" Gu Chen transmitted the information to the copper bowl.

Previously, after he had his men wipe out a number of strongholds of the Yamamoto family in Japan for the first time.

The islanders then wanted to attack him.

Because of his background, and because they wanted to rebuild their base in Yuehai County, they did not take action against him.

Now, for the second time, he ordered the destruction of all of the Yamamoto family's strongholds.

They wiped them all outright, including the fifth-rank expert Yamamoto Jiro.

I wonder if the Yamamoto family will go berserk and send someone to assassinate him.

His master had worried about this before.

However, he was strong in his own right, so he was not afraid. He even wanted to use this opportunity to lure out the Yamamoto family and kill them.

However, a month has passed since they captured He Teng and destroyed all of the Yamamoto family's strongholds.

The Yamamoto family hasn't sent any powerful members yet.

This struck him as very unusual.

Gu Chen planned to exchange some of their intelligence with the copper bowl, lest they plot some big move and end up killing him, which would be a loss.

The copper bowl immediately provided feedback.

It will cost one thousand taels of silver to exchange for this information!

Only one thousand taels, so cheap.

Could it be that the Yamamoto family didn't come after him and completely abandoned Yuehai County?

Or perhaps the Yamamoto family was already planning to kill him, and since his safety was at stake, it was a cheap deal.

Gu Chen put the silver in.

In the five days before he took office at Li Huo Prefecture, he helped the Cheng family refine pills and received a reward of nine thousand taels of silver for it.

In addition to the more than two thousand taels he already had.

He now has over 11,000 taels, which is enough to exchange for some intelligence.

The silver disappeared, and the copper bowl immediately gave a clue:

The Yamamoto family has arrived and is planning to kill you. However, they are worried that you might be secretly protected by experts sent by your master, Shangguan Wuqing, so they haven't dared to act yet. They want Yamamoto Rinji, a fifth-rank expert from the Yamamoto family, to observe for a while. If you are not protected by experts secretly sent by your master, then they will kill you.

"There really is one, and it's already here, secretly watching me." Gu Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.

These people from the Yamamoto family are truly incorrigible.

These past few days, he had broken through once in the wild. He wondered if the person secretly watching him, sent by the Yamamoto family, had discovered his secret.

If it's discovered, then it's all over.

He went back and reported the matter to the Yamamoto family, and what awaited him was an unimaginable disaster.

"After I returned from Zhenshi County, I bought pills in Yuehai County and broke through to the Perfection of the Transformation Sea Realm in the wild. Was I discovered by anyone sent by the Yamamoto family to secretly monitor me? Where is he now? Is he still monitoring me?" Gu Chen asked the copper bowl again.

The copper bowl gave feedback that it would cost two thousand taels to exchange for this information.

Gu Chen put the silver in.

The silver disappeared.

The copper bowl provides a clue:

[He didn't discover your secret. He only started watching you five days ago after you broke through and returned to Jiuwan City. Now he's secretly observing you in the area not far from your residence in Lihuo Prefecture. He hasn't found any powerful figures around you these past few days, and his patience has run out. He's preparing to test you in the next couple of days. If you really don't have any powerful figures secretly protecting you, he'll kill you directly.]

Seeing the notification, Gu Chen felt relieved.

If they haven't discovered your secret, that's good.

Good guy.

Since they were worried that he was being protected by experts secretly sent by their master, they dared not attack him.

Then he'll lend a hand to this expert from the Yamamoto family of the island nation.

Tonight, lure him out.

They were buried alive.

Strike first to gain the upper hand.

Gu Chen left the mansion directly.

Bathed in moonlight.

They walked towards the outskirts of the city.

A dark and windy night is the perfect time for murder and robbery.

Then Gu Chen left Jiuwan City directly.

In Jiuwan City.

Not far from Gu Chen's residence, Yamamoto Rinji secretly watched Gu Chen's movements. He saw that Gu Chen was about to go out again after returning from the banquet.

I don't know where to go.

After thinking for a moment, he followed Gu Chen from behind.

Let's see where Gu Chen is going.

Gu Chen, who was ahead, left the mansion and headed straight out of the city.

Yamamoto Rinji was confused.

What is Gu Chen doing outside the city so late at night?

Filled with doubt and curiosity, he continued to follow them outside.

Regardless of what Gu Chen does when he goes out.

This might be a good opportunity for him to test Gu Chen.

If Gu Chen didn't have the expert protection arranged by his master Shangguan Wuqing, he would be in trouble.

Tonight is his death night.

Gu Chen, having left the city of Li Huo Prefecture, sensed people chasing after him.

Gu Chen sneered inwardly.

The fish were fooled.

OK OK.

Tonight is your death day.

Gu Chen left Li Huo Prefecture City and flew directly into the air, heading towards the desolate wilderness, a place rarely visited by people.

Yamamoto Rinji saw that Kou Chen had directly used his true essence to fly.

He also used his true essence to fly through the air, following behind Gu Chen.

They flew for more than half an hour.

The two had already traveled a long distance from the city of Huofu and arrived in a desolate mountain wilderness.

Gu Chen stopped abruptly and hovered in the air.

He turned around and sneered at the people behind him, "Your graveyard has arrived. If you've followed me enough, come out."

rear.

Yamamoto Rinji, who had been following Gu Chen all the way, was taken aback.

They've been discovered.

Since that's the case, then he has nothing left to hide.

It flew up from behind and hovered in front of Gu Chen.

Looking at Yamamoto Rinji who had appeared.

Gu Chen scoffed, "He's only at the mid-stage of the Transformation Sea Realm."

He's only on the same level as Yamamoto Jiro, yet he dares to try and kill him.

He asked for his own death, so he has no one to blame but himself.

"How many people from your Yamamoto family came this time? What level is the strongest among them?" Gu Chen asked Yamamoto Rinji.

"Why are you asking this!" Yamamoto Rinji narrowed his eyes, looking at the very calm Gu Chen in front of him.

He felt like something was off.

Gu Chen remained remarkably calm, showing no sign of being frightened by his own actions.

Even if he were lucky enough to realize that he was being followed, and discovered that he was a powerful member of the Yamamoto family from Japan and possessed the strength of a fifth-rank expert.

They should be afraid.

Why was he so calm, showing no fear of his own intentions?

He even asked himself how many members of the Yamamoto family had come this time.

Could it be that there really is a powerful figure secretly dispatched by his master, Shangguan Wuqing, to protect him?

He deliberately came out tonight to lure me out.

In that instant, many things came to mind.

Seeing this, Gu Chen said, "You don't need to worry. There are no powerful people that my master has secretly arranged to protect me. This place is deserted for miles around. There are only the two of us. No one else will hear our conversation."

Upon hearing this, Yamamoto Rinji looked around suspiciously, and only after confirming that what Gu Chen said was true did he realize that it was true.

They became even more confused.

Since there was no one nearby, and Gu Chen knew that he was stronger than him, how could he still be so calm?

Isn't he afraid of dying?

Or perhaps he has other trump cards up his sleeve to ensure he can't kill him tonight.

"Since there is no one else around, you may well face your death. You don't need to know how many people from my Yamamoto family have come," Yamamoto Rinji said coldly.

He was too lazy to waste words with Gu Chen.

Let's take action first.

Once the fight started, it became clear why Gu Chen remained so calm.

Whether it's a bluff to show he's being followed or he actually has something to rely on, we'll find out once we fight.
