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

I went out of the county town.

Gu Chen changed his appearance to resemble his own.

Then they changed into the uniforms of Night Watch officers.

Then they returned to the county town and spent two thousand taels of silver.

I bought a gift.

This will be given as a congratulatory gift to the newly appointed Chief of the Night Watch of the Wilderness.

Gifts don't need to be too expensive, nor too cheap; they just need to express your feelings.

A gift worth around two thousand taels would be just right.

After all, their monthly salary isn't much.

Afterwards, Gu Chen invited Luo Tianxing, and the two went there together.

at this time.

Zhongzhou.

Chen Lei was removed from his position as chief commander in the desolate state.

He then returned to Zhongzhou.

At this moment, they were discussing the situation in the desolate state with Zuo Yunshan, another deputy chief of the Night Watch, who was the leader of their faction.

"Li Xianghe has already gone to Huangzhou to take up his post as chief commander. From now on, Huangzhou will once again be out of our control," Zuo Yunshan said calmly.

"I have failed in my duties. Please punish me, Deputy Chief." Chen Lei bowed his head.

"Now that things have come to this, what's the point of punishing you?" Zuo Yunshan shook his head.

"Your decision itself wasn't too bad, it's just that Qin Ming's side has had this variable of Shangguan Wuqing's junior disciple Gu Chen!" Zuo Yunshan narrowed his eyes: "If this Gu Chen is really as powerful as you say, able to find out everything, keeping him around will only cause trouble sooner or later."

"Deputy Chief Judge, that Gu Chen is indeed too strange. His speed in investigating cases is unbelievable, as is his speed in cultivation. Now he has become our enemy. If he doesn't die, he will probably bring us even greater trouble in the future," Chen Lei said.

"Hmm." Zuo Yunshan nodded: "The Crown Prince already knows about the defeat in the Desolate State, and he wants us to find a way to get rid of Gu Chen."

"His Highness the Crown Prince also wants us to kill Gu Chenyao." Upon hearing this, Chen Lei was overjoyed.

If the Crown Prince also wants to kill Gu Chen.

Then Gu Chen is doomed.

Because of Gu Chen, he was removed from his position as the chief commander of the desolate state, which disrupted the crown prince's plans.

The crown prince was furious.

The Crown Prince wants to kill Gu Chen, so it will be difficult for Gu Chen to escape.

"They want us to find a way to kill him, not for the Crown Prince to send someone to do it himself," Zuo Yunshan said. "The Crown Prince wants to kill Gu Chen not entirely because you were tricked by them and dismissed from your post."

"The matter of the second-rate mining gang within the territory of Yuehai County in the desolate state has been dragged on between the Divine Dynasty and the Body Sect for so long, and it has already come to a conclusion. The Crown Prince and the Second Prince have each found someone to fight against the Body Sect's prodigies, and the winner will gain control of the mining gang." Zuo Yunshan explained, "The rules of the competition stipulate that participants cannot exceed the True Yuan Realm and can only be within the seventh rank."

"As for the Second Prince, this Gu Chen might be arranged to participate in the battle. Given his ability to challenge opponents of higher levels, the Crown Prince is worried that he will win the competition for the Second Prince, so he wants us to get rid of him."

"I see." Chen Lei understood.

Gu Chen's ability to challenge opponents of higher levels is indeed terrifying.

His cultivation level is within the seventh rank, making him indeed the most suitable person to participate from the Second Prince's side.

With his seventh-grade cultivation level and sixth-grade perfect level combat power.

On the Crown Prince's side, finding someone who can deal with him is somewhat difficult.

"Then what should we do? Should we just send someone to kill Gu Chen?" Chen Lei asked.

"We can't make a move." Zuo Yunshan shook his head. "Qin Ming's people are definitely watching us. If we make a move, we'll easily be exposed."

"When the Second Prince gets angry, the Crown Prince may be fine, but we will definitely be retaliated against by the Second Prince." Zuo Yunshan knew that the reason why the Crown Prince did not send people to deal with Gu Chen himself was because of this.

Instead, they should let them figure out a way to get rid of him.

These are the concerns.

Chen Lei understood after hearing this.

Indeed, at such a critical time.

If Gu Chen were truly chosen by the Second Prince to represent his faction in battle, he would be killed in the blink of an eye.

The second prince will definitely be furious; they're in big trouble.

"Then how do we kill him?" Chen Lei asked Zuo Yunshan.

"Using someone else to do the dirty work." Zuo Yunshan uttered four words.

"Using someone else to do the dirty work?" Chen Lei wondered. Whose knife? The Yamamoto family's?

They themselves wanted to kill Gu Chen, so there was no need to borrow him.

However, they have too many concerns and may not dare to openly attack Gu Chen.

"From the Mitian Sect." A cold glint flashed in Zuo Yunshan's eyes.

This was the most effective way he could think of to deal with Gu Chen, and also the best way to divert trouble.

Gu Chen successively destroyed two evil cults under the command of the Mitian Sect, the Black Heaven Sect and the Blood Soul Sect.

As for the Mitian Sect, just let them know that the Black Heaven Sect and the Blood Soul Sect were destroyed entirely because of Gu Chen.

Gu Chen poses a great threat to them.

They will definitely eliminate Gu Chen without holding back.

If Gu Chen is killed by them, the Second Prince and Qin Ming will be furious and will seek revenge against the Mitian Sect.

There's no way to blame them.

The Second Prince and Qin Ming, along with others, are fighting against the Mitian Sect, which will allow them to reap the benefits.

"Having the Mitian Sect take action is indeed a good method." Chen Lei also thought the plan was feasible.

If they could get the people of the Mitian Sect to help them kill Gu Chen, they could also get Shangguan Wuqing and the others to fight against the people of the Mitian Sect.

Ultimately, no matter which group suffers losses, it will only benefit them and not harm them.

"The people of the Mitian Sect are definitely in Zhenshi County right now, secretly gathering information about the details of the Blood Soul Sect's destruction. The outside world has no idea that all the intelligence on the Blood Soul Sect was uncovered by Gu Chen alone. The same goes for the Black Heaven Sect before; you directly sent people to Zhenshi County to secretly spread the news that the Black Heaven Sect and the Blood Soul Sect were destroyed entirely because Gu Chen discovered the information. And Gu Chen is extremely capable of investigating cults." Zuo Yunshan sneered, "I believe it won't be long before the Mitian Sect eliminates Gu Chen without us even lifting a finger."

"Yes." Chen Lei accepted the order.

This is a good idea.

As long as he can provoke the people of the Mitian Sect to take action, Gu Chen is doomed.

The Mitian Sect is a top-tier cult, but its exact strength is unclear.

But they are far beyond the reach of ordinary forces; they only need to send out one expert from the Upper Three Realms.

That would make it easy to kill Gu Chen.

Gu Chen really brought this upon himself.

He had actually offended so many enemies.

Their methods were somewhat despicable.

However, Gu Chen's arrogance and reckless actions in leading his men to eliminate the forces under the Mitian Sect were also important factors in his downfall.

They merely played a role in fueling the flames.

Chen Lei left Zuo Yunshan's residence.

He summoned his third disciple, Ximen Bin, and his fourth disciple, Qiu Jiu, and ordered them to handle the matter.

"You two go to Zhenshi County in Huangzhou and secretly spread the news that the Blood Soul Cult within Zhenshi County was wiped out by Gu Chen, who also organized the operation to destroy it. Also, spread the news that Gu Chen also uncovered the information about the Black Heaven Cult and secretly reported it to Tie Yangtian. Gu Chen is a great threat to cults, and his strong ability to investigate cults has made the people of the Mitian Cult resent him," Chen Lei said.

"Yes, Master." The two nodded.

"And another thing." Chen Lei narrowed his eyes: "The new commander of Huangzhou, Li Xianghe, has already taken office. Go to his welcoming banquet and cause trouble for me. Focus on Shangguan Wuqing's disciples. Find someone with a lower cultivation level than yourself to attack. It would be best if you could defeat them in public. Give your master some face and make Li Xianghe lose face."

His third disciple, Ximen Bin, and fourth disciple, Qiu Jiu, are at the half-step Grandmaster realm and the early stage of the Transformation Sea realm, respectively.

The two can challenge Shangguan Wuqing's fourth disciple, Luo Tianxing, and seventh disciple, Gu Chen.

It would be best to defeat both of them in public.

This made Shangguan Wuqing lose face.

Collect some interest.

We'll settle the other accounts later.

"Yes." The two nodded.

If he were to challenge Shangguan Wuqing's disciples, those whose cultivation level was lower than his own, they wouldn't have much of a problem.

They'll verbally insult Gu Chen and the others to provoke them.

They will definitely fight back.

They'll get what's coming to them then.
