Tian Chanzi's expression of displeasure did not surprise Gu Chen.
It can be seen from his attitude towards Chi Jun that it is not easy to win him over.
In fact, the current situation is extremely lucky for Gu Chen, if there is no such thing as Chi Jun today, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to subdue him by any means.
But now, whether Tian Chanzi is willing or unwilling, Gu Chen is confident that he can pull him into his own ship of thieves.
The current Tianchanzi is not firm in his will, and he is reluctant to give up his original life, but no matter what, he should know in his heart that he will never go back to the old days after he got into trouble with Chi Jun's group.
What he has to do now is to give him better treatment than Chi Jun, so that he can completely lean towards himself.
If you don't ask him to immediately become like other companions to live and die with you, at least keep him by your side.
As long as he stays by his side, he can help him make alchemy. As for sincerely seeking refuge, it will be a matter of time!
Gu Chen's heart was like a mirror, and he gestured to the hunchbacked old man with his eyes.
Although the hunchbacked old man still didn't understand something about Gu Chen's actions, how could he, being so old and cunning, not know what to do now?
He coughed and said to Tian Chanzi with a smile. "Master, don't worry, following us is not like taking refuge in Chijun, we will not ask you to do anything you don't want to do."
"You are still free, and you can leave at any time after this matter has passed."
"This old man has a few alchemy recipes handed down from the ancient times, but I have been looking for an opportunity to communicate with you, Master."
When Tian Chanzi heard the words, his hesitant face showed emotion, and he looked at Gu Chen. "Really? Can the old man really leave as soon as he says so?"
"Of course, Master, you are just a guest."
Gu Chen smiled and nodded, secretly thinking that the old man's assist was just right.
What Tian Chanzi cares most about is his own freedom, why is he willing to be entangled by ordinary things when he only wants to make alchemy?
So as long as they promise this, it will be much better than Chi Jun who forcibly took people away.
Coupled with the Danfang from the ancient times of the Ming Dynasty as the bait, I am not afraid that he will not take the bait.
Gu Chen is not worried that Tian Chanzi will really leave at that time, because his biggest purpose of recruiting him is to help refine the elixir. In fact, Tian Chanzi's life will not change much when he comes to him.
And he has confidence in himself, the conditions he can provide to the other party will definitely make Tian Chanzi slowly dispel the idea of leaving.
"If this is the case, then the old man is willing to go with fellow Daoist Chen temporarily."
Tian Chanzi thought for a while, and there was no better way at the moment, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.
Seeing that he agreed, Gu Chen and the hunchbacked old man couldn't help but smile at each other.
The trip to the Golden Toad World went much smoother than expected.
"Chen Daoyou, since the old man is willing to go with you, then you have to keep your promise and let Ruan Zuo let them go."
Tian Chanzi was worried that Gu Chen would lie to him, and reminded him.
"Master, don't worry, I will do what I say, and let them go now."
Gu Chen got up quickly and walked to the place where Chi Jun's group was imprisoned.
The hunchbacked old man and Tian Chanzi quickly followed behind.
"Boss, although you can easily recruit Tianchanzi by doing this, you have also established a great enemy like Chijun, so it's not a good choice, right?"
On the way, the voice of the hunchbacked old man came into Gu Chen's mind.
He didn't understand. Although it was important to recruit Tian Chanzi, letting those people go would cause future troubles.
He always felt that Gu Chen had other ideas, so he just asked directly.
Gu Chen was walking in front, and when he heard the sound transmission of the hunchbacked old man's consciousness, his face remained calm, but the sound transmission was secret.
"Senior, do you think it's easy to expand our power according to your plan based on our current situation?"
The hunchbacked old man raised his eyebrows thoughtfully. "The power structure of Chaos Sea has been stable for many years, and now we are wanted again. It is not easy to strengthen our power."
"In that case, senior, what do you think of Chi County?" Gu Chen asked again.
"You mean..." The hunchbacked old man's eyes lit up, and he suddenly understood Gu Chen's thoughts!
"I knew about this Chi County before. The internal organization is very loose, but it is indeed a huge force. If we can absorb this force, we can grow stronger in a very short period of time."
"They already have ready-made intelligence channels and combat power, but the internal members don't have a strong sense of belonging to the organization. Don't we eat such a piece of fat?"
Gu Chen spoke very bluntly, and the hunchbacked old man was suddenly moved.
Indeed, compared to trying their best to manage their own power, if they can absorb Chi Jun's power, they will save countless time and energy!
The boundary sea is about to open, and there is not much time left for them, this is the best choice!
"It turns out that the leader didn't really want to let those people go, but wanted to use them to further contact Chi County. This is really killing two birds with one stone. Not only has Tian Chanzi been subdued, even Chi County is just around the corner!"
The hunchbacked old man felt a sense of admiration in his heart. Although Gu Chen was young, the wisdom and courage he displayed were incomparable to many immortal beings.
"Judging from the situation of the people we took down today, there are many people in Chi County, and there are many masters. It is still difficult for us to take them down with our strength."
"Especially that Chi Mo, we don't know anything about its specific strength!"
The hunchbacked old man began to think about the next specific plan for Gu Chen, feeling excited for a long time.
"Because I don't know enough about Chi County, I want to let those people go."
"Later, you will secretly tell the dragon monster to be responsible for tracking the whereabouts of that group of people, so don't lose them."
Gu Chen instructed.
The dragon monster is one of the top ten criminals of the prison star who followed him. In terms of combat power, it is far behind the patriarch of the Tunkun tribe and Zhong Shenxiu, and he is relatively low-key on weekdays.
However, he has a unique ability in tracking and detection. His pair of dragon demon compound eyes are more useful than his deep sea purple eyes in many cases.
"The old man understands. Don't worry, the leader. If the dragon monster takes action, this matter will not be messed up."
The hunchbacked old man replied with a smile.
The three of them soon arrived at the place where Ruan Zuoshi and others were imprisoned, and the hunchbacked old man quietly called the dragon monster away to explain the matter according to Gu Chen's instructions.
And Gu Chen, under Tian Chanzi's nose, asked his companions to release the people from Chi County.
"Leader, just let this group of people go?"
The Evil Shark King was full of surprise, a little unwilling.
"Didn't you hear my order?" Gu Chen glanced at him coldly.
The evil shark king immediately gritted his teeth, although he was not happy, he still followed his order.
Ruan Zuo let the restrictions on a group of people be lifted one after another, and they were all relieved for a while.
Gu Chen gave the group of people freedom, and then spoke flatly.
"Today, for Master Tianchanzi's sake, I will let you survive."
"But remember, Master Tianchanzi is my companion from today, if you make any plans against him, you will definitely kill him!"
Although Gu Chen's words were plain, the murderous aura was not fake. When Ruan Zuoshi and others heard this, their expressions changed one after another.
"Is there a problem?" Gu Chen asked again, while the other companions had unkind eyes on their faces.
"no problem!"
Ruan Zuoshi gritted his teeth and said, feeling that he had been greatly humiliated, but he could only endure it.
"let's go!"
She turned and left without looking back, lest Gu Chen suddenly change his mind.
