Wandering through the camps of Black Dragon Mountain stronghold, small sparks, carried by the wind, had already spread like wildfire, thick smoke carrying a pungent odor. All of this was ignited by the sparks thrown by Mo Chen; in the blink of an eye, most of the camps surrounding the stronghold were ablaze.
"Mo Chen! You stop right there!" Hua Yuxian chased after Mo Chen in a fit of rage, not caring about the fire in the mountain stronghold, only knowing to follow the culprit in front of her.
Mo Chen glanced back at Hua Yuxian, who was hot on his heels, and couldn't help but smirk and taunt, "Come on! If you catch up with me, I'll marry you!"
Upon hearing his words, Hua Yuxian's face flushed red, and she stomped her feet angrily, roaring, "Mo Chen, you bastard, if you have the guts, don't run away!"
"I didn't expect you to want me to marry you so much, but I won't give you the chance so easily!" Mo Chen turned his head and looked at Hua Yuxian with a smile.
"you……"
Before Hua Yuxian could speak again, a figure suddenly darted out of the darkness and appeared directly in front of Mo Chen.
Mo Chen was startled and quickly stopped. He looked at the old man in front of him, who was wearing a gray robe. His somewhat disheveled silver hair was flowing orderly in the wind. He was wearing a mask so that his appearance could not be seen. He was holding half a flute in his hand. Under the mask were a pair of purple eyes that looked at Mo Chen with a sinister smile.
"Who is this person? Why do I feel a faint sense of oppression emanating from him that is terrifying..." Mo Chen looked at the stranger in front of him with vigilance and subconsciously put his hand in his sleeve, preparing to take out a weapon.
Gu Yan smiled as he watched Mo Chen conceal his hand in his sleeve. "Do you think you can draw your weapon before I can subdue you?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Chen subconsciously swallowed, abandoned the action of drawing his weapon, and respectfully asked, "May I ask your esteemed name, senior?"
Gu Yan smiled slightly, "Didn't Xiao Li and Chang Yuan introduce me to you?"
Mo Chen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "You're their master, Gu Yan? The barbarian's grand strategist?!"
Gu Yan smiled and nodded, "Exactly!"
Mo Chen swallowed hard and then said, "I am Mo Chen, and I greet Senior Gu Yan."
Upon seeing this, Gu Yan chuckled and said, "Hehe, aren't you afraid of me?"
Mo Chen raised an eyebrow and said, "I don't seem to have any enmity with you, senior, so you don't need to doubt my sincerity."
Gu Yan squinted at Mo Chen, a purple glint flashing in his eyes, and said with a smile, "I know you. You not only killed your master, but also your comrades. You are a treacherous person. I think you are a smart man. You should understand that we are on the same side. Don't you think so?"
Looking into Gu Yan's purple eyes, Mo Chen suddenly felt a wave of dizziness and subconsciously uttered, "Yes...we are the ones who are on the same path..."
Gu Yan's lips curled up slightly. "So, you should be on my side, not theirs, right?"
Mo Chen's eyes were glazed over, and he opened his mouth but before he could speak, Hua Yuxian suddenly shouted, "Grand Strategist, he is our enemy. I don't think we can trust him!"
Mo Chen shuddered, snapping back to reality. Looking at Gu Yan with cold eyes, and remembering his earlier words, he involuntarily took a few steps back to keep his distance. "You...you're creating an illusion for me?"
Gu Yan squinted and didn't answer. Instead, he turned to Hua Yuxian and coldly asked, "Hua Yuxian, since you say so, do you have a way to get rid of him?"
Hua Yuxian was taken aback, subconsciously glanced at Mo Chen's back, bit her lip, and nodded without hesitation, "Yes!"
Upon hearing Hua Yuxian's words, Mo Chen turned to look at her, his heart sinking slightly.
Gu Yan squinted at Hua Yuxian and coldly said, "Since that's the case, I'll see how you get rid of him!"
Hua Yuxian's expression changed, and she gritted her teeth and respectfully said, "Hua Yuxian accepts the order!"
Upon hearing Hua Yuxian's words, Gu Yan raised an eyebrow but remained silent.
Hua Yuxian turned to look at Mo Chen, her expression turning cold. She pursed her lips and said, "Mo Chen, considering that we once drank together, I will give you a chance to obediently surrender!"
Mo Chen looked at Hua Yuxian and said, "I don't want to fight you, so why do you keep forcing me? Besides, aren't we... friends?"
"Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together. I think it's impossible for us to be friends!" Hua Yuxian frowned and said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Mo Chen chuckled, "So that's how it is. All those things you said to me were just to get close to me and get information about us, is that it? You really have some clever methods!"
Hearing Mo Chen's mocking words, Hua Yuxian frowned and said, "That's right, I was being hypocritical. Perhaps you don't know, but I took advantage of your trust and killed your best friend Wang Qiankun when you left!"
Mo Chen's pupils contracted. "You, what did you say?!"
"Heh heh, I said, I killed your best friend Wang Qiankun! Three cuts and six holes, he's dead beyond any doubt!" Hua Yuxian sneered.
"You..." Mo Chen trembled as he pointed at Hua Yuxian and said, "So your target wasn't me, nor Mo Li, nor Mo Han, but Wang Qiankun, is that it?!"
Hua Yuxian spoke without hesitation, "That's right! My mission is to kill Wang Qiankun! You didn't expect that, did you? Once he's dead, those shrimp soldiers and crab generals in the royal city will be a disorganized mess. With just a few tricks, we can easily defeat you! You'll be like stray dogs, completely unable to pose any threat to my barbarian tribe!"
Gu Yan squinted at Hua Yuxian, saying nothing.
Mo Chen said angrily, "I never imagined that we've been enemies from the very beginning. I even considered you a friend... I was so blind!"
