Second Guardian wasn't surprised by Jiang Chen's answer. If Jiang Chen really released Eighth Guardian and Desolate Emperor, he would be surprised instead. He had agreed to the bet without knowing much about Jiang Chen. It could be said that he had fallen into Jiang Chen's trap. Now that the bet was in front of him, he was in a dilemma.
"Second Brother, what should we do now? Eighth Sister and Palace Master are in Jiang Chen's hands. We can't do anything. "
A Guardian came to Second Guardian's side and said.
At this time, the few half-step Human Immortal Supreme Elders of Desolate Palace had also come to Second Guardian's side.
"Second Guardian, I think we should retreat first before discussing how to deal with the three palaces. Even if we let them live for a few more days, they won't be able to cause any big waves. The outcome will not change. Desolate Palace is going to rule the entire Saint Origin Palace. There's no way we can stop it."
One of the Supreme Elders said.
"Alright, we'll let them live for two more days. Tear up the contract of submission between the three halls. They no longer have the chance to sign the contract. Not long after, what awaits them will be destruction, complete and utter destruction."
Second Guardian said viciously. This was his first battle after he had reached the Grand Completion realm, but he had encountered such a huge setback. This made his heart feel as if it was pricked by a thorn. This was the biggest shame in his life.
"Jiang Chen, I'll give you one last chance. If you release Desolate Emperor and Eighth Guardian now, and the three palaces submit to Desolate Palace, I assure you that we won't make things difficult for you. If you don't agree, you should be able to imagine the consequences. Desolate Palace is unstoppable. You won't have the chance to sign the submission contract anymore. What awaits you in the future will be utter destruction."
Second Guardian said to Jiang Chen in a stern voice.
"If worst comes to worst, we'll all perish together. I, Jiang Chen, will be waiting for you."
Jiang Chen's words turned sharp. This was the first real confrontation between him and Desolate Palace. He would never back down. That ridiculous submission contract was just bullshit in Jiang Chen's eyes. As the dignified Greatest Saint, he had stood at the peak of this world in his previous life. In this life, he was going to stand at the peak and step on all the powerful enemies. Desolate Palace was his last and strongest enemy.
"Very well. The three palaces will pay a heavy price for today's decision."
Second Guardian tore the three submission contracts apart, clearly telling the people of the three palaces that they had lost the chance to live. Desolate Palace would use the cruelest means to deal with them, consigning them to eternal damnation.
"Retreat."
Second Guardian waved his hand and disappeared along with the experts of Desolate Palace and the other four palaces.
Upon seeing this, the experts of the three palaces became excited. Their despairing mood disappeared in an instant. They had already lost all hope in the previous situation. They had never thought that the appearance of Jiang Chen would reverse the situation. This made Jiang Chen's position in the hearts of the three palaces soar to an unreachable level. Everyone, including Bing Changxiao, looked at Jiang Chen with eyes full of respect.
"Jiang Chen, the resentment between you and Bin Palace is written off. Today, you have saved the fate of Bin Palace. Bin Palace owes you a great favor."
Bing Changxiao came to Jiang Chen's side and said in an incomparably sincere tone.
"It's a wise decision for Bin Palace Master to choose to ally with us. I, Jiang Chen, also like to deal with wise people."
Jiang Chen smiled. Bin Palace had never gained any advantage from him. Instead, many of their experts had fallen in his hands. Now that Bin Palace wanted to ally with him at this critical moment, Jiang Chen naturally wouldn't refuse. Moreover, he trusted Bing Changxiao's sincerity very much.
"Jiang Chen, now that Desolate Emperor and Eighth Guardian are in our hands, I believe Desolate Palace won't dare to act rashly."
Gu Firmament said with a smile. His mood was like a completely different person compared to before.
"Everyone, don't be happy too early. The crisis of the three palaces hasn't been resolved yet. We have only bought a few days of time. Now, everyone, follow me to the Conference Hall."
Jiang Chen's tone suddenly turned solemn. Then, he took the lead and walked towards the Conference Hall of Gu Palace.
Upon seeing this, the others who had already relaxed their nerves tensed up again. It was impossible for them to ignore Jiang Chen's words.
In the Conference Hall of Gu Palace, Jiang Chen sat on the main seat. Even those half-step Human Immortal old ancestors were willing to sit on either side of him. Everyone knew very well that this white-clothed young man was the backbone of the three palaces. Everyone had to listen to Jiang Chen's arrangement. Only in this way could the fate of the three palaces be preserved.
"Jiang Chen, Desolate Emperor is the palace master of Desolate Palace. He has a high position and is the number one existence. Even if Desolate Palace wants to rule the entire Saint Origin World, it's impossible for them to ignore the life and death of Desolate Emperor, right?"
Gu Firmament asked.
"You have underestimated the foundation of Desolate Palace and overestimated Desolate Emperor's position in Desolate Palace. Now, I will tell you the secret of Desolate Palace. Don't you have any doubts about how those powerful Grand Guardians were cultivated? No matter how powerful Desolate Palace is, their strength isn't much different from yours. How could they cultivate such terrifying geniuses? "
Jiang Chen said solemnly.
"We have been thinking about this, but we have no idea how Desolate Palace did it. Jiang Chen, do you know the secret?"
One of the old ancestors asked. They were all half-step Human Immortal experts. Even if they spent their whole life cultivating a peerless genius, they wouldn't be able to cultivate the twelve Grand Guardians.
"That's because none of the Human Immortal old ancestors of Desolate Palace have ascended in the last hundred years. All of them have been hiding in Desolate Palace."
Jiang Chen's words caused a huge uproar in the main hall. Everyone's facial expression changed dramatically after hearing what Jiang Chen said.
"What? None of the Human Immortals have ascended? Impossible. This is absolutely impossible. Take us for example. If we advance to the Human Immortal realm, we will have completely broken away from the realm of mortals and become true Immortals. A world like Saint Origin World will no longer be able to accommodate us. At that time, the Immortal World will attract us, forcing us to ascend. How could the Human Immortals of Desolate Palace not leave? "
Old Ancestor Gu Palace shook his head.
"That's right. This is the law. No one can break it."
Old Ancestor Demon and Old Ancestor Bin Palace agreed with Old Ancestor Gu Palace. It was impossible for a Human Immortal not to ascend to the Immortal realm.
"You are all right, but I have to mention another person, Old Ancestor Greenlotus."
Jiang Chen said.
"When Old Ancestor Greenlotus ascended to the Immortal realm, he died tragically under the heavenly tribulation. What does this have to do with him?"
Someone asked.
"What a joke. Given Old Ancestor Greenlotus's ability, how could he die under the heavenly tribulation if he wanted to ascend to the Immortal realm? None of the ancestors of the eight palaces could be compared to Greenlotus. Old Ancestor Greenlotus didn't die at all. He once obtained a treasure in the Immortal Cove Mountain. That treasure can deceive the Heaven's Secret and prevent the descent of the Immortal World's laws. Desolate Palace knew about this treasure, so they secretly framed Greenlotus and imprisoned him when he was undergoing the heavenly tribulation. All these years, Old Ancestor Greenlotus has been imprisoned in Desolate Palace. The Human Immortals of Desolate Palace used the treasure to deceive the Heaven's Secret, preventing all the Human Immortals from ascending to the Immortal realm."
Jiang Chen said. At this point, there was no need to hide this secret anymore.
"What? There's such a thing? "
"That's right. Old Ancestor Greenlotus is an eminent monk of Buddha Sect. His cultivation base is profound. Even our old ancestor succeeded in his heavenly tribulation. There's no reason for him to fail. It turns out that Desolate Palace has such a big secret."
"Motherf * cker! Desolate Palace is really scheming something big. It seems like those tycoons were secretly trained by these Human Immortals for the sake of the rise of Desolate Palace."
"Human Immortal experts can't unleash powerful attacks from down there. The power of Human Immortals is too powerful for this world to withstand. Moreover, the Immortal World might attract the attention of Human Immortals. Basically, Human Immortals can't attack. Therefore, they have been secretly cultivating geniuses in order to dominate the entire Saint Origin World and strengthen the foundation of Desolate Palace."
… …..
None of them were fools. After listening to Jiang Chen's words, they could roughly guess what was going on, but it was also because of this that they were shocked. Desolate Palace actually had a mighty Human Immortal. This was something that none of them had ever thought of and dared not to think about.
In their point of view, this was simply impossible, but since it came out from Jiang Chen's mouth, they had reason to believe that it was true.
No one asked Jiang Chen how he knew about this secret. In many people's hearts, Jiang Chen was already an omnipotent expert. Therefore, it was very normal for Jiang Chen to know such a big secret.
"That's right. The purpose of Desolate Palace is very clear. Therefore, if you think that Desolate Emperor and Eighth Tycoon alone can stop Desolate Palace, you are too naive. Those Human Immortal ancestors of Desolate Palace have been plotting for hundreds of years. How can they give up their plan just because of Desolate Emperor? Desolate Emperor's influence isn't that great. Therefore, I estimate that Desolate Palace will make a comeback in at most three days. At that time, even Desolate Emperor won't be able to stop them."
As soon as Jiang Chen's voice faded, the atmosphere in the Conference Hall tensed up. Everyone's face darkened, because they knew that what Jiang Chen said was right. If this was the internal secret of Desolate Palace, Desolate Emperor alone wouldn't be able to stop them.
