Chapter 960 – Gu Firmament (2/2)

“Yes. I am Gu Chen.”

Jiang Chen gave a faint smile and took the initiative to meet Desolate Emperor’s eyes. He neither felt fearful nor frightened. To him, there was nothing that he should worry about while standing in front of Desolate Emperor. In fact, he recognized Desolate Emperor. Back when he still reigned over Pure Land, this overlord was merely insignificant, an ordinary Great Saint. If they wanted to talk about panic, Desolate Emperor would be the first one to get nervous if he knew who Jiang Chen really was.

But then again, at this moment, Jiang Chen was no longer the Greatest Saint, like 100 years ago. The present Desolate Emperor was no longer that small figure in those old days. He was now holding the supreme power and ruled the world under the heavens.

“Presumptuous! Don’t you know that you have to kneel down when seeing the palace master? The four of you, kneel down this instant!” Someone yelled at Jiang Chen.

Kong Yang and Gu Liufeng trembled, and felt a ripple in their hearts. Their knees were about to fall to the ground before strands of invisible force was released by Jiang Chen to help them keep standing.

Everyone saw it clearly. Their eyes became strange as they looked at Jiang Chen.

“Although Desolate Emperor is the master of Desolate Palace and Law Enforcement Palace, he has no right to ask us to kneel down before him. We are members of Gu Palace and Demon Palace. There is no reason for us to kneel down before an outsider. Moreover, we are all Great Saints with dignity and our dignity won’t allow us to kneel down. I won’t let my knees fall to the ground even if the palace master of Gu Palace come. In addition, you don’t have a good reason to ask us to kneel down because we haven’t done anything wrong.” Jiang Chen’s eyes swept across the area and said in a plain tone.

“You son of a b*tch! This is the Law Enforcement Palace. You puny little being dare to disregard the rules of the palace? Since you are reluctant to kneel down, I will make sure that you will never be able to stand again. Get down on your knees now!”

An elder of Desolate Palace who brought them here was angered. His Qi shook as he struck out an illusory palm, slamming against Jiang Chen. Since Jiang Chen was unwilling to get down on his knees, he would make Jiang Chen lose his ability to stand.

“Stop! I would like to see who would dare to make the genius of Gu Palace kneel.”

At this instant, a thunderous voice came from the outside of the hall. Then, a ghostly figure appeared before Jiang Chen. His action could not be captured by the eyes; the illusionary palm automatically crumbled.

The incomer was dressed in a pale yellow long robe, he seemed to be at the same age as Desolate Emperor. He had similar awe-inspiring look that Desolate Emperor have. He was no stranger. He was the palace master of Gu Palace, Gu Firmament. Judging by his Qi, he wasn’t any weaker than Desolate Emperor. He had also reached the peak of Ninth Grade Great Saint, only a step away from the Immortal realm.

“Demon Palace never had the habit of kneeling down, right? Desolate Emperor?”

The moment Gu Firmament emerged, another powerful figure appeared. He was tall and had a very sturdy body. His casual movement could bring endless waves. His name was Heavenly Peng[1] King, he was the palace master of Demon Palace.

Heavenly Peng was a peerless divine beast. His bloodline was not any weaker than Big Yellow’s. However, Heavenly Peng King did not have the complete bloodline of a divine beast. It was said that Heavenly Peng King was merely a giant bird, and that when he was young, he strayed into a forbidden place and obtained the blood essence of an ancient heavenly Peng. After that, his cultivation skyrocketed crazily.

Gu Firmament and Heavenly Peng King’s reputation was incomparable to Desolate Emperor; the Law Enforcement Palace was the best place in the entire Saint Origin Palace to enforce the law. No one would dare to barge in the Law Enforcement Palace except these two who just arrived. There was no place in the entire Saint Origin Palace which they feared going. Thus, even the great palace master, Desolate Emperor, wouldn’t be able to intimidate them.

“Gu Firmament, Heavenly Peng King, I am just enforcing the law. What are you two doing here? This is the Law Enforcement Palace, you two don’t have any rights to intervene,” said Desolate Emperor with a frown.

“Damn the right! I have the geniuses of Gu Palace standing here. So, I have come here to observe how the master of the Law Enforcement Palace enforce the law impartially. It looks like Gu Chen didn’t commit any mistakes, so why are you, the lord of the palace, alarmed by something like this? Isn’t it just a bit of a fuss?” Gu Firmament said bluntly.

He looked at Jiang Chen with praising eyes. Just now, he heard and agreed what Jiang Chen had said. How could the people of Gu Palace kneel before anyone? Jiang Chen’s heroic behavior and boldness had built a significant impression in Gu Firmament’s heart. Should Jiang Chen got down on his knees due to fright just now, Gu Firmament would just turn and leave, he wouldn’t want a genius without pride, no matter how talented Jiang Chen was.

Furthermore, Gu Shuangtan had told Gu Firmament everything that had happened in the Refining Tower.
