Fifth Grade Great Saint was the most common cultivation grade in Gu Palace. The four elders in front of him were also at the bottom of the hierarchy. However, from the different standpoint of Gu Rong and Gu Zheng, one could imagine that even among the higher ups of Gu Palace, such conflicts also existed.
In the final analysis, this conflict wasn't between people, but between the Outer Palace and the Inner Palace. The people of the Inner Palace thought that they were superior and superior, so they looked down on the people of the Outer Palace. The people of the Outer Palace, on the other hand, were naturally dissatisfied because they were all from the Ancient people.
"Alright, stop quarreling, both of you."
Another elder said with a frown. "What's the difference between the two of you arguing here and them fighting here? I believe both of you are very clear that the conflict between the Inner Palace and the Outer Palace isn't new. Today, because of the arrival of Gu Chen, this conflict has erupted. But it's good that it has erupted because this kind of potential conflict isn't a good thing for Gu Palace. Since it has erupted in advance, we should solve it as soon as possible. Gu Lian, Gu Chen, how do you want to solve it?"
This person was called Gu Wang. His words were considered more dignified among the four elders. Jiang Chen couldn't help but admire his words. It seemed like there weren't any lack of discerning people in Gu Palace. He believed that many of the higher ups were also very worried about the conflict in Gu Palace, but they didn't have a good way to stop it.
"Elder Gu Wang, I will fight with Gu Chen. If Gu Chen loses, all the people of the Outer Palace, including Gu Chen, will have to apologize to Gu Lang and the others in public. From today onwards, they will have to avoid the people of the Inner Palace."
Gu Lian said.
"Gu Lian, you are a Fourth Grade Great Saint, challenging a First Grade Great Saint. Do you still have the nerve to say that?"
Gu Zheng harrumphed coldly.
Elder Gu Wang waved his hand, signaling Gu Zheng to keep quiet. He looked at Jiang Chen and said, "Gu Chen, Gu Lian's challenge, are you willing to accept it?"
"Of course I accept, but I also have a condition."
Jiang Chen clasped his fists at the four elders.
"Say it."
Elder Gu Wang nodded approvingly. A First Grade Great Saint didn't even think twice before accepting the challenge of a Fourth Grade Great Saint. This courage alone was worthy of admiration. Furthermore, he had heard about Gu Chen's means today. Even Gu Lang wasn't his match. Such a genius, even if he came from the Pure Land, Gu Palace would still treat him seriously.
"If I lose, I will do as Gu Lian said and I will also compensate them with a huge amount of wealth. From now on, the disciples of the Outer Palace will hide wherever they are. However, if I win, I don't want anything. I just want to give the disciples of the Outer Palace a proper name. I will fight for the dignity and status of the Outer Palace. If I win, I hope that from now on, there will be no distinction between the Outer Palace and the Inner Palace."
Jiang Chen said. What he said wasn't only for the four elders, but also for the geniuses of the Main Palace. One should know that this wasn't something that could be achieved with just a single word from an elder. If the words of an elder were effective, there wouldn't be any internal conflicts between the geniuses.
"Haha! What a joke! Gu Chen, it's impossible for you to win. If you win, I, Gu Lian, will be the first to submit to you. In the future, the people of Inner Palace will never look down on Outer Palace."
Gu Lian laughed heartily and said in an extremely solemn tone.
"That's right. As long as he can defeat Big Brother Gu Lian, we will acknowledge you as the geniuses of Outer Palace."
Someone in the main palace shouted. As a matter of fact, after today's battle, many of them had a new opinion about the disciples of Outer Palace, especially Gu Chen. Countless of them admired him. If Gu Chen could defeat Gu Lian, who was a Fourth Grade Great Saint, it would be enough for him to be called the number one genius of Gu Palace. Such a genius would probably alarm the higher ups of Gu Palace.
Moreover, such a genius came from Pure Land and not from Inner Palace. So, what qualifications did the people of Inner Palace have to look down on the geniuses of Outer Palace?
"Good. Since you all are willing to use this method to solve the problem, then three days later, in the martial arena of Gu Palace, Gu Lian and Gu Chen will have a showdown. At that time, many people of Gu Palace will be watching, including the higher ups. Now, you all have three days to prepare."
After Elder Gu Wang finished speaking, he left with the other three elders.
As for why Elder Gu Wang wanted to delay the battle to three days later instead of letting Jiang Chen and Gu Lian start the battle immediately, many of them knew the reason. After all, this battle was related to the conflict between the Inner Palace and the Outer Palace. These three days were undoubtedly used to create hype for Gu Chen and Gu Lian, allowing many people in Gu Palace to know about this battle. This news had even reached the ears of the higher ups, causing them to pay close attention to this battle. After all, the significance of this battle was extraordinary. The more people paid attention to it, the better it would be for Gu Palace.
It was time for the internal conflict of Gu Palace to be resolved. Therefore, no matter who won this battle, it would be beneficial to Gu Palace. If Gu Chen won, then the internal conflict of Gu Palace would be resolved. From then on, the people of Outer Palace would have a high status and dignity. Inner Palace would no longer bully the disciples of Outer Palace, which would unite everyone in Gu Palace. Moreover, Jiang Chen had defeated Gu Lian and became famous. Gu Palace would certainly nurture such a genius.
On the contrary, if Gu Lian won, the conflict would escalate to the surface. The people of Outer Palace would lose more and more status. Perhaps, many of them would return to Pure Land. From then on, Gu Palace would no longer accept people from Pure Land. Ancient people of Gu Palace and Pure Land would be completely separated. In this way, although it was cruel, Gu Palace would soon be united and there would no longer be any hidden conflicts.
Gu Wang was a smart man. Many people weren't stupid either. They could still see the situation clearly. Even Jiang Chen and Gu Lian were aware of it. Therefore, everyone expressed their understanding of the reason for postponing the battle for three days.
"Gu Chen, if I were you, I would immediately admit defeat to avoid losing face three days later."
Gu Lian said.
"At that time, we will know who will lose face."
Jiang Chen's face was filled with disdain. These three days were a good thing for him. Under the situation where he couldn't transform into his dragon form, it was indeed not easy for Jiang Chen to defeat Gu Lian. Now that there were three more days, Jiang Chen had the hope of improving his strength to the next level. If he had the chance to advance to the Second Grade Great Saint, defeating Gu Lian would be as easy as blowing off dust.
Jiang Chen's current cultivation grade had reached the peak of First Grade Great Saint. He was only five hundred dragon marks away from the Second Grade Great Saint. All he needed was an opportunity or opportunity to break through.
Gu Lian left with the geniuses of Inner Palace. Now that the battle had been decided, there was no point in staying here any longer. It seemed like they were not welcomed here. As for Gu Lang and those who had their legs broken by Jiang Chen, they flew away. To a Great Saint, a broken leg wasn't a serious injury.
When Jiang Chen landed from the sky, a group of geniuses from Outer Palace immediately surrounded Jiang Chen.
"Satisfying, too satisfying! Gu Chen, you're really amazing! Even that Gu Lang fellow's leg was broken by you! This is really satisfying! I've taken a look just now, at least thirty people's legs were broken by Gu Chen. Let's see if they still dare to be arrogant in the future."
"That's right. We have been sulking for a long time. Today, we can finally vent our frustrations. Those geniuses from Inner Palace are just so-so. I'm not afraid of them if we really fight."
"We will follow Gu Chen from now on. If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't be able to have today's pleasure."
… …..
Everyone in the Outer Palace was in high spirits. Thinking of the refreshing battle just now, many people still felt as if they had been injected with chicken blood. As for the destroyed houses, it was nothing. They were all Great Sage experts. It was just a matter of minutes if they wanted to build some courtyard houses. Even if they wanted to build a small space, it was also a very simple and easy thing.
It felt really good. At this time, everyone admired Jiang Chen from the bottom of their hearts. They had already regarded Jiang Chen as their representative and leader. The world of the strong was originally like this. If it wasn't for Jiang Chen, they would still live the same days as before, suffering from the supercilious and oppressed geniuses.
"But Gu Chen, Gu Lian is not easy to deal with. Are you sure?"
Gu Liuying said with a frown. The others also looked at Jiang Chen with bright eyes. Although they had a good time today, the real highlight had yet to begin. The real highlight would only begin three days later. If Jiang Chen was defeated, their status wouldn't change either. Gu Liuying said with a frown.
"Brothers, rest assured. I will definitely defeat Gu Lian and clear the name of our Outer Palace. This is a battle of dignity. Our dignity will not be trampled on."
Jiang Chen's expression changed. His eyes turned cold, and his body emitted an unstoppable confidence. It was a confidence that came from his bones, and it could infect many people. The people around him couldn't help but be influenced by it. "Hahaha.
"Well, Gu Chen, we believe in you."
Gu Liuhui shouted. After all, they had all seen the strength of Jiang Chen with their own eyes. Even if the cultivation gap between Jiang Chen and Gu Lian was huge, it was not completely impossible.
What's more, in the current situation, they could only believe in Jiang Chen. It seemed that there was no other way but to believe and pray.
"Everyone, clean up this place first. Restore the original buildings. I'm going to cultivate in seclusion to prepare for the battle three days later."
Jiang Chen said.
"Okay, leave these to us."
After Gu Liuying finished speaking, he waved out a wave of air. All the debris on the entire mountain peak was cleaned up. For more than a hundred Great Sages, it was too easy to build some courtyard buildings. In almost a few minutes, all the buildings were built again.
