Bao Zhen asked in a low voice, "Brother Chen, who has offended you? Tell me, and I'll kill him for you!"
Chen Nan had given him plenty of benefits these days!
Over a hundred Foundation Establishment Pills alone!
Therefore!
He stood with Chen Nan!
"Master Gui, save me!"
Liu Xin knelt down with a thud, his face ashen, like a startled bird!
He crawled towards Master Gui non-stop!
"Brother Chen, has this Liu Xin offended you?" Yan Xiong, seated to Master Gui's left, frowned. "Look at the book!"
Liu Xin quickly said, "Second Boss, I haven't offended him. I just told him about the things I did for Master Gui, and he wants to kill me."
"If I'm not mistaken, he must be an inside spy sent from outside. Yes, it must be!"
He could feel Chen Nan's killing intent towards him!
Therefore!
Whether he was guilty or not, he had to throw some mud at him first!
"What?"
"He's an inside spy?"
"No way?"
Master Gui's subordinates started discussing amongst themselves!
Although many of them were seeing Chen Nan for the first time, they had all taken the pills refined by Chen Nan!
The medicinal effects were potent, and their strength had improved!
Bao Zhen said anxiously, "Master Gui, I can swear that Brother Chen is definitely not an inside spy! This Liu Xin is slandering him!"
Yan Xiong's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he said angrily, "Shut up, don't think I don't know how many benefits Chen Nan has given you! As for whether this guy is an inside spy, the Boss will decide!"
Yan Xiong disliked Chen Nan!
Even though he refined a lot of pills!
But it was precisely because of this that he felt his status was being challenged!
"Brother Chen, why do you want to kill Liu Xin? Is it really because of what he did?" Master Gui looked at Chen Nan with a half-smile, trying to discern his thoughts from his expression!
Chen Nan said concisely, "Yes!"
Liu Xin said excitedly, "Master Gui, see? I wasn't lying. He's truly a spy sent by the outside!"
Master Gui glanced at him with a look and said, "Shut up!"
At this moment!
Liu Xin's scalp tingled, feeling as if an invisible hand had gripped his throat!
He felt as though he had brushed past death itself!
Master Gui: "Brother Chen, do you have anything to explain?"
Chen Nan said neither servile nor overbearing, "The reason I killed Liu Xin was not to avenge the people of this city, nor was he an outside spy!"
"Ultimately, it is because I cannot tolerate a traitor in my eyes!"
"Especially since Liu Xin betrayed this city and was proud of it, which I cannot bear!"
Yan Xiong said with a chuckle, "Listening to Brother Chen, does it mean you've been betrayed before?"
"Yes!"
Master Gui continued, "Just this?"
Chen Nan asked back, "May I be bold enough to ask, Master Gui, who is stronger between you and Ao Wuchang?"
Master Gui didn't know why Chen Nan asked this, but he still said, "Ao Wuchang is slightly stronger than me. If not for that, I wouldn't have been so heavily injured!"
Chen Nan: "In other words, Ao Wuchang will still come to trouble you?"
Master Gui nodded slightly, "There will still be a battle between us in the end!"
Chen Nan added, "Has Master Gui considered that Ao Wuchang's men might have infiltrated Wuyang City? Have you considered whether Liu Xin would betray you and join Ao Wuchang then?"
"Master Gui, no, I will never betray you. Please don't listen to his nonsense!" Liu Xin was completely panicked.
Although he had thrown some mud at Chen Nan, he never expected Chen Nan to use the same tactic!
The difference was that the mud Chen Nan threw at him was impossible to wash off!
Chen Nan said in a low voice, "There are only 0 betrayals, and then there are countless others!"
"Liu Xin, for wealth and status, betrayed the home and kin that bore and raised him."
"Do you really believe he would be loyal to you in a life-or-death situation?"
The scene fell silent!
Everyone was pondering Chen Nan's words!
After a long while, a middle-aged man spoke, "Big Brother, Brother Chen makes sense!"
"Yes, our lives cannot be entrusted to a mere mortal!"
"We should kill this guy!"
Voices of killing rose from the hall!
Master Gui said nonchalantly, "Since Brother Chen says so, then kill this guy!"
Liu Xin's scalp tingled, "Master Gui, no..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Nan's True Qi exploded his head!
Such a person deserved to die!
He shouldn't have stayed in the mortal world for even a second!
It could also be considered an explanation to the wronged souls!
"Brother Chen, come, come, sit on this side!" Master Gui beckoned with a smile. After Chen Nan sat down, he smiled and said, "Actually, I never doubted your identity!"
"Do you know why?"
Chen Nan asked in confusion, "I don't know!"
Master Gui revealed a meaningful smile, "Because I know the secret you're carrying!"
Chen Nan shivered!
What did he mean?
Could it be that he knew his identity?
Master Gui said, "Actually, you're very smart. You know you can't protect that spiritual artifact furnace, so you came here to seek my protection!"
Chen Nan breathed a sigh of relief. So that was the reason!
"You're very smart and capable, and I like that very much!" Master Gui sighed, "Don't blame my second brother for testing you. It's not his fault. If we brothers weren't cautious, we would have died in hell long ago!"
"Big Brother, today is a happy occasion, let's not talk about unhappy things!"
"Yes, let's have a good drink today to celebrate your recovery!"
Everyone raised their glasses!
Master Gui burst into laughter, but put down his wine cup after picking it up, his expression serious, "Before we drink the first cup, I have something to discuss with all my brothers!"
Everyone looked at Master Gui in unison!
Master Gui looked at Yan Xiong and said, "My second brother has already reached the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, and now we have an alchemist. My intention is to have Brother Chen refine more Foundation Establishment Pills, to strive for my second brother to condense his core as soon as possible!"
"Even if he can't condense his core, becoming a pseudo-core realm expert would be a good thing!"
"But doing so will lack someone to control the formation disk!"
"My idea is to have Brother Chen control the formation disk!"
"Big Brother, this is not appropriate, is it?" Yan Xiong said anxiously, "We have several experts at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment among our brothers. We can completely hand the formation disk over to them. Isn't it a bit unsuitable to give it to Chen Dong?"
It wasn't that he had any prejudice against Chen Nan, he just genuinely disliked the guy!
"Second Boss has a point. Chen Dong only has the fifth level of Foundation Establishment cultivation, and he can't control the formation disk at all!"
"Isn't it better to let him focus on refining pills? Why hand over the formation disk to him?"
The crowd discussed noisily!
Chen Nan hadn't expected them to be so united in their exclusion, which was very different from his expectations!
Master Gui looked at Chen Nan and asked with a smile, "What is Brother Chen's attitude?"
"I also feel that I am not qualified to control the formation disk!" Chen Nan sighed inwardly. Even if he wanted to control the formation disk, he couldn't show it too eagerly at this moment!
Otherwise, it was highly likely to arouse their suspicion. These people were all difficult to deal with, one by one!
Master Gui nodded slightly, "Since that's the case, then the formation disk will be controlled by you!"
"Ah?!"
Chen Nan was stunned, he thought he had misheard!
