Chapter 1272: It’s in vain to call yourself a hero

Gu Cangyan narrowed his eyes. Because he had been in the darkness for too long, the sudden light still had a very slight effect on him. However, this effect would be a fatal flaw for a strong man in the same realm.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry to observe the person who spoke. He first spent a few seconds to completely adapt to the current situation before looking at a middle-aged man leaning against a big tree, wearing white clothes and with a very extraordinary demeanor.

He has a handsome appearance and has the demeanor of a handsome uncle, but what makes Gu Cangyan even more alert is that his extremely righteous aura makes him feel uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart.

As a very self-aware villain, his outward disguise is also quite righteous. This is how he can be more certain that the person in front of him is truly righteous and is not deliberately concealing something. Of course, he does not rule out the possibility that the other party is a player of a higher level than him.

But in this regard, Gu Cangyan still believes that he has some confidence.

Then he stood up and bowed.

"My name is Gu Cangyan. May I ask your name and where we are now?"

Gu Cangyan was halfway through his words when he was interrupted by the man in white.

"Wait a little longer. After they all wake up, I will inform you of all the problems. After all, this is also my mission."

"Task."

Gu Cangyan did not directly use the power of his soul to find out the truth about this person, because this was an extremely impolite behavior. Especially after being imprisoned in darkness and having almost lost his sense of time.

He also became more cautious in his choices of action.

Then he nodded to the man in white, and his eyes were fixed on the unconscious people lying around him.

Including myself and the man in white, there were fifteen of us in total.

Among them, the only one he was familiar with was Zhuo Donglai, who had previously participated in the villain alliance. Although the other party was not very strong, he was quite quick-witted, which made him subconsciously walk to his side. However, he did not rush to wake him up, but continued to observe others.

A man who looked like a farmer and was quite burly caught his attention.

And while he was observing the other person, the man suddenly opened his eyes.

The two men looked at each other, but the burly man did not show any panic. After looking away, he carefully looked around, his eyes mainly fixed on the man in white, but he did not rush to ask questions.

Instead, it awakened a handsome man not far away.

When the man stood up, his body was straight as a gun. His eyes, brighter than the gems sparkling in the deep black ocean, exchanged glances with the burly man, and then he began to observe everyone.

'Something's wrong. '

These two people behaved too calmly. Gu Cangyan believed that he was a very cunning person, but these two showed a calmer attitude than him. This was obviously unreasonable, unless they knew some truth about how they were suddenly thrown into this woods.

Then his breath was slightly attracted, and he saw the handsome man who had taken out a two-meter-long red gun, locking onto him with a powerful gun intent.

"Dharma Realm! It's not a recent breakthrough, probably accumulated some foundation in the early stage."

Gu Cangyan clasped his fists and bowed apologetically.

"I have no ill intentions, I'm just too nervous. After all, I suddenly came to this strange place and wanted to know some real situations, but..."

Gu Cangyan signaled with his eyes to the man in white who was still leaning against the tree, and confirmed his previous guess in his heart, because a small wave of tests had made him realize that these two people were definitely not more ambitious than him.

Because this subconscious reaction that reveals his aura says it all.

After confirming that the two knew some of the truth, Gu Cangyan apologized repeatedly with his kind mask, which made the other party silently put away their gun intentions.

"Is the order of awakening based on strength? Then even though the gun man was awakened earlier, he should be after the farmer. This also means that the farmer is stronger, but most likely he is not as strong as me. It's just that the man in white over there."

After vaguely confirming that he was the strongest except for the man in white, Gu Cangyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately woke up Zhuo Donglai.

According to the original order, he would probably be the seventh or eighth, and would be in the middle level among the fifteen people including himself.

When his aura was exposed for a brief moment, Gu Cangyan also found out the strengths and weaknesses of everyone else except the man in white and the farmer.

Their realms range from the Tianxiang Realm to the Tongmai Realm. Considering that he is only one step away from reaching the perfection of the Dharmakaya in the Tianyan Realm, the span of his combat power is really a bit exaggerated.

"What's going on?" A scheming man like Zhuo Donglai was a little nervous, but he didn't show any excitement. After confirming the existence of Gu Cangyan, a semi-acquaintance, he took the initiative to get closer to him.

While observing the current situation, he quietly asked through voice transmission.

At the same time, according to the normal order, the fourth person woke up naturally. After looking around, he took the initiative to ask questions, and as a result, he got the answer to the question asked by Gu Cangyan just now from the man in white.

While Zhuo Donglai listened carefully, he also learned the current situation from Gu Cangyan's voice transmission.

Then he took the initiative to speak.

"My situation is similar to Senior Gu's. I was in that ghost town before."

Zhuo Donglai did not hide what happened, including the fact that he had offered the head of his sworn brother to get the chance to survive, and also the fact that he later shamelessly worked like a dog and was thrown directly into a dark prison by the other party.

If you want to discover clues, you must be honest, especially in front of a strong person who is much stronger than you and has deeper scheming. What's wrong with bowing your head and hugging his thighs in time?

As for his self-respect and face, if Zhuo Donglai had been obsessed with these things, he would not have been chosen by Yu Cangmiao, and he would not have been the one to survive. Instead, it would be more likely that Chai Yuguan would have survived.

Then Gu Cangyan briefly exchanged information with the other party.

This also includes the fact that he voluntarily surrendered after a brief fight with Chi Huang.

Comparatively speaking, Gu Cangyan cares more about his face than Zhuo Donglai, but things have their priorities. The fact that they both chose to surrender voluntarily and even submitted a letter of surrender is a very valuable piece of information.

"In that case, it wasn't that they wanted to keep us imprisoned indefinitely, but rather to temper our tempers in advance in order to complete the task that the man in white mentioned? Or was it that they were waiting for the blank time before the task began, so that they let us suffer that period of loneliness.

It seems that our current situation must be related to the ghost market, huh? Especially the two people you mentioned, I roughly guessed their true identities. "

Zhuo Donglai looked at the back of his hand in a daze. His analysis just now was very fluent, but when he mentioned the ghost market, a very faint burning sensation flashed from the back of his hand directly to the whole body.

After all, as a martial artist at the Sky Control Realm, he didn't think that what he had just experienced was an illusion.

This instantaneous discovery made him feel nonsensical, and at the same time, an inexplicable sense of crisis surged into his heart.

It was as if he would die if he tried to talk about ghost market a few more times.

This also made it a little unnatural for him to shift the topic to the gun man and the farmer.

Gu Cangyan naturally noticed the pause in the other party's statement just now, but what he cared more about now was the identity of the two people who might threaten him in terms of combat power if they joined forces.

"who are they?"

"Two of the Ten Kings of Northern Frontier, Tuoba Bodhisattva and Li Ruohai, their tribes were also broken up into smaller groups and integrated into the Northern Barbarians before the fall of the Northern Barbarians. They became the minions of the Sword Maniac.

In fact, when we held the alliance before, we tried to win over the other party, but the envoy we sent was killed on the spot by the barbarian before he could get to the point. "

"Are you avoiding those two words? Are you unwilling to say them, or are you unable to say them?"

"can not say."

When it was revealed that the man with the gun was Li Ruohai and the farmer was Tuoba Bodhisattva, Gu Cangyan was certain that the current situation was also secretly controlled by the Ghost Market. However, Zhuo Donglai's strange behavior made him feel puzzled.

Is it because guessing the so-called truth would put them in danger?

Just as he was about to ask this question, the field gradually fell into chaotic noise.

"Who are you? Who kidnapped me here?"

"I'm clearly sleeping at home, where is this place?"

"Where's Xiao Taohong? I clearly remember last night."

"Is this still the capital of Northwest Province? Why is the concentration of vitality not right?"

The person who asked the last question was a powerful person who had reached the celestial realm. His observation was relatively subtle, but it also caused him to become more panicked.

There was also a charming woman who tried to use her enchanting figure to confuse the people present to obtain information, but except for a young man who looked a little naive, everyone else subconsciously stayed away from her.

After all, in this strange place, the danger comes both from the outside and from these strangers who seem like headless flies but are in the same situation.

Until the last tall man stood up and the discussion became louder, the man in white finally stopped leaning on the tree.

In fact, some people had asked this man in white, whose emotional attitude seemed completely different from theirs, directly before, but after he repeated his answer again, they simply chose to turn a deaf ear.

There was a man who looked rather reckless and intended to pick a fight with him, but when he didn't get a response from others, he put away his reckless look, which in turn made those present more wary of each other.

"Be quiet." The man in white's voice was cold and indifferent. He did not use any of his own skills, and spoke in the tone and volume of a normal conversation. However, this also made the scene suddenly become silent.

"Let me think about where to start."

Under the gaze of everyone, when he uttered these words, some people became even more dissatisfied.

"How about you introduce yourself first?" one of the fourteen people facing the man in white suggested.

The man in white looked at the other person with great admiration, then shook the collar of his shirt hanging in front of his knees. His extremely righteous demeanor silenced the whispers that had just emerged.

"Have you ever heard of the saying, 'If you have never met Chen Jinnan, it is useless to call yourself a hero!' And I am the Chen Jinnan mentioned in the rumors!"

"Chen Jinnan? Is he the destined body? Is he very powerful?" Gu Cangyan quietly asked Zhuo Donglai, whose face seemed to have fallen.

He has discovered that he is far inferior to his opponent in terms of some intelligence and information reserves, including the collection of information on the fate body, although with the wanton spread of information by players, it is not too difficult to find out some fate stories.

However, it requires a lot of manpower and financial resources, which Gu Cangyan, who previously worked alone, naturally did not have the energy for.

It was not until Murong Fu asked him to come out of seclusion that he got a rough understanding of some of the characters in the story.

But Chen Jinnan was not among them.

But after seeing Zhuo Donglai's completely confused expression, Gu Cangyan thought that the person who could make such a scheming person unable to control his expression must be a strong man.

But after hearing Gu Cangyan's question, Zhuo Donglai's expression became more and more distorted, as if he had eaten bee poop, a little sweet, but also very disgusting, indescribable.

"I'm not sure if the Chen Jinnan he mentioned is the one I know. But the sentence he just mentioned is very likely about that person."

"If you have never met Chen Jinnan, it is useless to call him a hero. What a big tone, and indeed a righteous declaration. So, this is a righteous master who is above a hero. This is not good for us in terms of the tendency of the destiny body. After all, you are a villain, and so am I."

Gu Cangyan frowned slightly. He was still analyzing the situation seriously, and even thought about the possibility of unintentionally conflicting with him next.

This also made Zhuo Donglai's expression even more out of control, just when he was about to seriously explain to Gu Cangyan.

The others who had been standing there in a daze for a minute gradually reacted.

"Are you the Chen Jinnan from The Deer and the Cauldron?"

"The chief leader of the Tiandihui? A fool who was killed by a sneak attack from a small-time scoundrel?"

"Fuck, you guys should be focusing on how low the bottom line is in this fateful story of The Deer and the Cauldron. In that story, the internal energy can hardly be cultivated. If it were us, a kid in the Body Tempering Realm would probably be able to fight against the top ten masters in the world!"

"Then he is just a waste, why is he pretending!"

"Fuck me! I was worried that he was the mastermind behind everything, but this is it? Chen Jinnan? I can kill him with just one hand!"

All the negative emotions such as anxiety, fear, depression, panic, etc. that had been accumulated by the people at the scene were now directly vented towards Chen Jinnan!

Gu Cangyan felt more and more uncomfortable the more he listened. He even stopped transmitting his voice because amid the increasingly fierce condemnation and sarcasm, his words were like a drop of water in the river, and no one would notice them.

"The fateful story of The Deer and the Cauldron, and Chen Jinnan are weak?"

"Being able to compete for the last place in the Gold Fate Body, just like what they said just now, a person in the Tempering Body Realm can fight against the top ten masters, and a person in the Condensing Qi Realm is almost the best in the world. Of course, there is a special weapon called a firearm, which seems to be able to threaten the life of a person in the Tempering Body Realm.

But that's all there is to it. A slightly stronger Qi Condensation Realm cultivator can easily avoid it."

"So he is pretending?" Gu Cangyan was also confused now. He looked at Chen Jinnan, who had an extraordinary demeanor and remained calm even when he was being yelled at or even insulted more excitedly by everyone. He always felt that there was something inexplicably strange about him.

Until someone directly asked the question.

"I heard that Chief Leader Chen has a special skill called Blood Coagulation Claw?" (End of this chapter)
