The people of the six major palaces were infuriated. The enemy that they wanted to get rid of was just under their noses all along. Their failure to eliminate him had given him enough time to grow, which frustrated them tremendously.

However, no one was angrier than Desolate Emperor. Ever since Jiang Chen’s name emerged, Desolate Palace had suffered severe losses compared to the other five major palaces. He could get over the death of the few geniuses but not the death of the great elder, Desolate Wuleng. If this wasn’t enough to stir up his anger, the death of Desolate Changyun was enough for him cough out blood. One should know that Desolate Changyun was a supreme genius that was secretly nurtured by Desolate Palace. They had expended massive amount of efforts, time and resources to train each and every one of them. So how could he stay indifferent when a supreme genius was killed by Jiang Chen today?

More importantly, the secret of their hidden geniuses had been exposed. He could explain that Desolate Changyun had just advanced to the Seventh Grade Great Saint, but Desolate Changyun’s appearance had aroused the dissatisfaction and doubts of the other palaces.

This prompted Desolate Emperor to make a decision—it seemed like Desolate Palace should execute their plan ahead of time.

Fury pierced through the skies. The Ninth Grade Great Saints of the six major palaces began to unleash their terrifying divine sense to sweep across, not just the area of the Western Domain, but also the lands across the entire Saint Origin World. Unfortunately, no trace of Jiang Chen could be found, not even a breath of his Qi.

“Dammit! That bastard must have escaped again.”

“Where did that little beast gone? Why can’t we find even a trace of him, as if he had vanished completely under the Heavens?”

“That man is extremely dangerous, cunning and vicious. It is only a matter of time before he becomes a great threat to us. It is unbelievable that a mere Fifth Grade Great Saint could escape from our joint hunt.”

……..

The six palace masters were now deeply aware of the massive threat posed by Jiang Chen. As mighty Ninth Grade Great Saints, they had never felt threatened for a long time. They were always the top existences of the pyramid under the Heavens and Earth, the supreme beings of this world.

As a matter of fact, although Jiang Chen was very capable, he wasn’t as all-powerful as they had thought. Presently, even if they racked their brains, they wouldn’t be able to figure out that Jiang Chen had entered the Devil World. Before this, the palace master of Shi Family personally tried to break the huge gate of the Devil World but found his effort useless, the gates had already been completely sealed by the high ranked experts of the Devi Race. If not even a Ninth Grade Great Saint could slip through the gates unnoticeably, let alone Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen’s sudden disappearance had relieved the worries of the people of Gu Palace. Regardless of how much the six major palaces wanted to kill Jiang Chen, his disappearance made it impossible for them to take their revenge. However, if Jiang Chen was present, neither Gu Palace nor the Demon Palace could protect him, the six major palaces definitely wouldn’t tolerate it.

“Smart boy.”

Gu Firmament’s face was full of smile. His admiration for Jiang Chen grew again. He had known Jiang Chen’s true identity a long time ago, but he hadn’t thought that it would be revealed so soon. It seemed like Jiang Chen had already anticipated what would happen, which explained why he had not been found anywhere.

Jiang Chen’s escape also shocked Gu Firmament like the other palace masters. He was shocked by Jiang Chen’s means of escaping. He wondered how did a Fifth Grade Great Saint slip through the search of so many Ninth Grade Great Saints. Furthermore, the time given was too short, it was impossible for him to flee without leaving a trace or anything.

“Gu Firmament, it must be you who hid Jiang Chen. Otherwise, how could a puny Fifth Grade Great Saint flee so swiftly?” Desolate Emperor shifted his focus to Gu Firmament.

“That’s right. Gu Firmament, don’t tell me that you never knew the identity of Jiang Chen all this while. Your Gu Palace have been covering up for him all this time. That means you all are going against the six major palaces. I urge you to hand over Jiang Chen right away. That man has killed so many of our people, he has to be punished for what he did!” shouted Narang Yunhe.

The six major palaces undoubtedly had a similar stance with regards to Jiang Chen.

The other four palace masters walked forth, putting more pressure on Gu Firmament. In truth, every one of them knew that Gu Firmament had been with them on the battlefield outside the Western Domain until the war ended, but they just couldn’t stomach the grievance.

“It’s funny that you all palace masters speak in such a childish way. We have been fighting together against the Super Devil Saints of the devil army. What makes you think that I could hide a person without being noticed by any of you? In fact, I have just learned about Jiang Chen’s identity like the rest of you. It’s up to you whether you believe it or not.” Gu Firmament flicked his sleeve and said.

Now that the position of the Law Enforcement Palace master wasn’t working on them, he might as well react perversely..

“I understand that you all desired to kill Jiang Chen, but you need to be aware of your status and identity. Brother Gu has been with us all this time. Given your capabilities, won’t any of you find out if Brother Gu has really hidden Jiang Chen?” said Heavenly Peng King loudly.

At this moment, he stood on Gu Firmament’s side unconditionally. He valued Jiang Chen’s potential and the relationship between Big Yellow and Jiang Chen; both Gu and Demon Palace were bound to form an alliance.
