Naturally, it was inevitable for the brothers to reunite with each other. Another Second Grade Great Saint youth came forward and patted on Gu Liufeng's shoulder. "Not bad, kid. Your talent is above me and Liuhui, but we are a few years older than you. I didn't expect you to catch up so quickly."
"Brother Liuying, you must be joking."
Gu Liufeng couldn't hide his joy. These two were also the geniuses of the Ancient people. They were sent to Gu Palace after advancing to the Great Saint realm. He didn't expect that they would personally welcome him this time. This touched his heart.
"Humph! The so-called talent is just so-so in my opinion. The Ancient people of Pure Land have really declined. It seems that we need to set a strict standard to accept all of you in the future. We can't just let anyone in. "
At this time, the arrogant youth suddenly harrumphed coldly and looked at Gu Liufeng with eyes full of disdain.
Upon hearing this, Gu Liuying and Gu Liuhui's facial expression turned incomparably ugly, but they didn't say anything. They just smiled awkwardly, but Gu Liufeng couldn't stand it. As the number one genius of the Ancient people, he was very proud. He didn't expect that he would be despised by someone the moment he arrived in Saint Origin Palace. How could he feel good about it?
"Who are you?"
Gu Liufeng asked with a frown.
"By the way, Liufeng, let me introduce you. This is Young Master Ling. His name is Gu Ling, a rare genius of Gu Palace. Young Master Ling was born in Saint Origin Palace and has been receiving abundant cultivation resources since young. He has reached the peak of Second Grade Great Saint at such a young age.
That's pretty amazing. "Gu Liuhui hastily introduced Gu Ling to Gu Liufeng, but everyone could hear the insinuation in his tone. Although he said that Gu Ling was amazing, he was actually saying that Gu Ling wasn't that amazing. The reason why he could achieve what he had today was because of the cultivation environment and the cultivation resources of Gu Palace. If they were like Gu Ling and grew up in Saint Origin Palace, their achievements would certainly be greater than Gu Ling's.
Looking at this scene, Jiang Chen muttered inwardly. Sure enough, Saint Origin Palace had been separated from Pure Land for too long and had completely changed. Putting the other families aside, Ancient people had been completely divided. Gu Ling was a very good proof. He was a genius born in Saint Origin Palace. He thought highly of himself and looked down on the people from Pure Land. In his eyes, Gu Liufeng and the others were outsiders. In his point of view, Gu Palace allowing them to cultivate in Saint Origin Palace was a kind of charity.
No one knew how many geniuses had been born in this place in the past hundred years. The more geniuses there were, the more severe the polarization became. Now, Gu Palace had completely changed. Those who came from Pure Land and the higher ups who created Gu Palace were now wholeheartedly pursuing a higher realm. They didn't have much time to care about the affairs of Gu Palace. It was conceivable that after another hundred years, Saint Origin Palace would abandon the eight families of Pure Land completely.
"Gu Liufeng, it's your honor that I, Young Master Ling, have come to welcome you. Of course, I'm not here to welcome you. I just want to see how the hidden number one genius of Ancient people looks like. You are Gu Chen, right?"
Gu Ling looked at Jiang Chen and said, "You look very ordinary. Gu Xuantian said that you are his biggest hidden weapon, a peerless genius that only appears once in ten thousand years. That's a big boast. Besides, you are just someone picked up by Gu Xuantian. No matter how much Gu Xuantian boasted, you are still an outsider. So, it's better for you to behave yourself in Gu Palace."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes. Was this the legendary 'show of strength'? It seemed like the status of the disciples from Pure Land wasn't that good in Gu Palace. This could be seen from the way Gu Liuying and Gu Liufeng didn't even dare to breathe heavily in front of Gu Ling.
However, when he thought of Gu Xuantian's boasting, he couldn't help but laugh. It seemed like Gu Xuantian had secretly introduced him as his secret weapon, which was only revealed today. It was no wonder that Gu Ling gave him tit for tat. After all, this boast was a little too big.
Now, it seemed like Ancient people and Gu Palace were two completely different things. Let alone becoming enemies with the six major families in Saint Origin Palace, Jiang Chen was afraid that his days in Gu Palace wouldn't be peaceful anymore. However, this wasn't a big deal. He, Jiang Chen, had seen all kinds of things. Since there was an internal conflict in Gu Palace, he would find a way to unite them.
"You … we are all from the Ancient people.
We are from the same sect and the same origin. We have come to Saint Origin Palace and you want to bully us? What's the meaning of this? "
Gu Liufeng was annoyed and said loudly.
"Shut up! Who do you think you are? How dare you speak so loudly in front of me? You asked for it even if I cripple you. But considering that you have just arrived at Gu Palace, I will forgive you for the time being. If there's a next time, I won't be polite anymore."
Gu Ling reprimanded.
Gu Liufeng was infuriated. Just as he was about to say something, he was pulled by Gu Liuying and Gu Liufeng.
"Why are you pulling me? We are all from the Ancient people. What gives him the right to treat us like this?"
Gu Liufeng absolutely couldn't stand this kind of humiliation. All along, it had been his biggest dream to enter Gu Palace. In his heart, Gu Palace and the Ancient people had always been a family. He had never thought that Gu Palace wouldn't take him seriously, turning him into an outsider, a beggar. This kind of psychological blow was unbearable for Gu Liufeng. It was as if he had gone through hardships to achieve his dream, only to find out that it wasn't what he had expected. The gap in his heart was too big.
"Liufeng, there's no need to talk too much when dealing with this kind of person."
Jiang Chen walked towards Gu Liufeng and squinted his eyes at Gu Ling. Although his eyes were squinted, it still couldn't hide the sharp light that was overflowing from his eyes, bringing with it a hint of coldness.
"Who do you think he is? But in my eyes, who do you think you are? Don't use your sense of superiority to show off your intelligence. What's so great about being born in Gu Palace? Your ancestors came from the Pure Land. What's there for you to be proud of? "
Jiang Chen enunciated each and every word without the slightest bit of politeness. Jiang Chen's way of dealing with people like this had always been very simple. He would shatter their sense of superiority and make them fall down from their high and mighty position, letting them know that they weren't that great.
"Gu Chen!"
Gu Liuying and Gu Liufeng's facial expression changed dramatically. They already knew the information about Gu Chen. When Gu Xuantian sent them the message, he almost praised Gu Chen to the heavens, completely suppressing the number one genius of the Ancient people, Gu Liufeng. However, they didn't expect that Gu Chen would be so bold to confront Gu Ling.
However, they knew that this was because Gu Chen and Gu Liufeng didn't know the specific situation of Gu Palace. They still brought the habits of those geniuses from the Pure Land here. But in Gu Palace, it wasn't the case at all. Those who came from the Pure Land didn't have any status. Offending Gu Ling wouldn't end well.
As a matter of fact, Gu Liuying and Gu Liufeng really wanted to beat this Gu Ling up. Everyone who came from the Pure Land was holding back their anger, but they had to stop Jiang Chen. After all, Jiang Chen was just a First Grade Great Saint. How could he be a match for Gu Ling?
"Bastard! What did you say?"
Gu Ling raged immediately.
"You can't even understand what I said? It seems that not only do you look down on your ancestors, you also have a problem with your IQ. A retard dares to look down on others?"
Jiang Chen wasn't going to be polite.
Upon hearing this, Gu Liuying and Gu Liufeng staggered and almost fainted on the ground. They didn't expect that Gu Chen would have such a fiery temper. Now, they couldn't stop him even if they wanted to. They knew Gu Ling too well. This guy must be angry and he would never let Gu Chen go.
"Good, good, very good. You people from the Pure Land haven't met such an arrogant guy for a long time. You are courting death by disrespecting me. I will let you know the consequences of offending me now."
Gu Ling's anger couldn't be quelled. Yuan Qi began to surge on his palm. That was a tyrannical energy wave. He was infuriated. No one had ever dared to speak to him like this. Today, he must teach this arrogant guy a lesson. He must let him know that he had to kneel down for everything in Gu Palace.
With lightning speed, Gu Ling raised his arm and slapped Jiang Chen's face.
* Pa! *
A loud and clear sound of a slap rang out. However, Jiang Chen just stood there, not moving an inch. Instead, it was Gu Ling who staggered and nearly fell to the ground. He was stunned, and felt a burning pain on his face.
Gu Liuying and Gu Liufeng were also stunned. They stared at the clear palm print on Gu Ling's face without blinking. They were so shocked that they couldn't speak a word. Even though they were so close to each other, they couldn't see how Jiang Chen did it. It was too fast, too fast.
Immediately, their hearts were filled with earth-shattering shock. One should know that Gu Ling was a peak Second Grade Great Saint, only one step away from advancing to the Third Grade Great Saint. Gu Chen was only a First Grade Great Saint. Even if he was a peak First Grade Great Saint, it was impossible for him to be so powerful.
Illusion, it must be an illusion.
Gu Liufeng sneered. Others might not know about Jiang Chen's strength, but he knew it very well. He believed that if Gu Ling was his enemy, he would be a dead man by now. It wouldn't be as simple as a slap.
"You, you dare to slap me?"
Gu Ling recovered from the shock. He couldn't believe that he was slapped by a First Grade Great Saint. He couldn't believe that a newcomer from the Pure Land would dare to slap him.
"You should be glad that you were only slapped. You should be glad that you can still stand here after offending me."
