Gu Firmament had already known everything that had happened in the Refining Tower. He was very curious about how Jiang Chen was able to absorb all the immortal Qi in the miniature spatial zone, but he was sure that there was one more terrifying genius in Gu Palace.
A First Grade Great Saint was able to easily kill a Third Grade Great Saint genius of Desolate Palace. This wasn't something that anyone could do. Furthermore, he was very clear about Jiang Chen's identity. Gu Xuantian had personally sent him a letter, explaining Jiang Chen's identity and the earth-shattering things that Jiang Chen had done in the Pure Land. This made Gu Firmament, the palace master, attach great importance to Jiang Chen. Now that he had seen Jiang Chen today, he knew that Jiang Chen was indeed a dragon and phoenix among men.
"I also want to know what mistake the geniuses of Demon Palace have made."
Heavenly Peng King spoke. Big Yellow was a man who possessed the complete Divine Beast bloodline and a heaven defying Totem Divine Seal. Demon Palace had attached great importance to him. They were very clear about the current situation of Saint Origin Palace. Desolate Palace was getting bigger and bigger. Sooner or later, the balance would be broken. Both of them knew this very well. Therefore, they knew the importance of Jiang Chen and Big Yellow.
"I suppose both of you have heard about the incident in the Refining Tower. These four people have absorbed all the immortal Qi. This is the first time in the history of Saint Origin Palace that something like this has never happened before. I must know what method they used to do it. If I don't find out and punish them, I'm afraid that the geniuses of Saint Origin Palace won't be able to absorb the immortal Qi anymore."
Desolate Emperor stood up from his seat and said. Originally, he wanted to use forceful means to force Jiang Chen to confess, but now that Gu Firmament and Heavenly Peng King had appeared, he couldn't do that. However, he was even more determined to punish Jiang Chen. These people in front of him had directly alarmed Gu Firmament and Heavenly Peng King, which was enough to prove that they had an extraordinary status in Gu Palace and Demon Palace.
"Palace Lord Xiao, you must be joking. This matter has nothing to do with the three of them. The Immortal Qi came to me on its own, and then I separated it for them. As for what method I used, I can tell you responsibly that I didn't use any method. It was the Immortal Qi that came to me on its own."
Jiang Chen said immediately.
"Nonsense! Do you think we don't know the situation of the miniature space? You better tell us the truth. What kind of forbidden technique did you use to forcefully seize all the Immortal Qi? What you did today has already aroused public anger. If we didn't arrive in time, I'm afraid those geniuses would have already torn you apart. "
The elder who brought Jiang Chen and the others here said sternly.
"Shut up! There are three of us here. You don't have the right to speak. Why don't you take a look at your own status?"
Heavenly Peng King shouted at the elder. The elder's facial expression changed, and he dared not say another word. He was facing Heavenly Peng King, the palace master of Demon Palace. Given his status, he wasn't qualified to go against Heavenly Peng King, not even Desolate Emperor. Heavenly Peng King was known for his speed. If Heavenly Peng King wanted to kill him, even Desolate Emperor wouldn't be able to stop him.
More importantly, even if Heavenly Peng King killed him in the Law Enforcement Palace, he would die in vain. Heavenly Peng King didn't need a reason to kill someone because it was a symbol of his status.
"Haha! This elder is also a dignified Seventh Grade Great Saint. How can you be so unreasonable? You are simply throwing the face of Desolate Palace and Law Enforcement Palace. You said that I used a forbidden technique, but you should at least show me the evidence. Law Enforcement Palace is a place that relies on evidence. Falsely accusing someone without any evidence isn't the style of an elder of Law Enforcement Palace."
Jiang Chen laughed loudly and retorted with sharp words.
Upon hearing this, Gu Firmament and Heavenly Peng King exchanged a glance. Their eyes were filled with admiration. This was truly a scary young man who knew how to deal with a situation. Any ordinary disciple who came here would be paralyzed with fear. They had never seen a young man who could remain so calm in front of so many experts in Law Enforcement Palace.
"You have a sharp tongue, but Gu Chen, you'd better explain this matter clearly. Since you have come to Law Enforcement Palace, you have to explain yourself. The Refining Tower is related to the cultivation of all the geniuses in Saint Origin Palace. It's not a place for you alone."
Desolate Emperor harrumphed coldly. He already had some killing intent towards Jiang Chen, because Jiang Chen's performance was just too outstanding. How could he feel good knowing that such an outstanding genius wasn't a disciple of Desolate Palace? "There's no way to explain this situation.
The geniuses who cultivate in the Refining Tower have to rely on their own luck and ability. Whoever has a stronger luck will be able to absorb more immortal Qi. Now, all the immortal Qi is moving towards me, indicating that my luck is strong, which has suppressed all the other geniuses. As the master of Law Enforcement Palace, Desolate Emperor should be impartial in enforcing the law. You can't accuse me just because I have a strong luck. Every time the Refining Tower is opened, there will be some geniuses with strong luck who will absorb a large amount of immortal Qi. There are also a lot of geniuses with bad luck who can't absorb the immortal Qi. There is no such thing as fairness in this. The Refining Tower has been opened for so long, but Law Enforcement Palace has never punished those geniuses who absorbed a large amount of immortal Qi because of their luck. Now, it's my turn to be punished.
What kind of logic is this? "Jiang Chen said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, completely undeterred by Desolate Emperor's imposing manner.
Da Huang Dog gritted his teeth at the side. Kong Yang and Gu Liufeng secretly gave Jiang Chen a thumbs up. Jiang Chen's words directly made Desolate Emperor speechless. Luck was something that no one could say. If Jiang Chen was punished because of his strong luck, wouldn't there be geniuses who would be punished every time the Refining Tower opened?
More importantly, Desolate Emperor couldn't find any evidence of Jiang Chen using a Taboo Technique to absorb immortal Qi. Jiang Chen had pushed everything to his luck. Even Desolate Emperor had nothing to say.
"Haha, Desolate Emperor, did you hear that? This is luck. Gu Chen is a newly promoted genius of Gu Palace. He has a strong luck. Cultivating in the Refining Tower is a competition of luck. Law Enforcement Palace should enforce the law impartially. You can't punish others just because they have a strong luck. That's called jealousy. "
Gu Firmament burst into laughter. The more he looked at Jiang Chen, the more he liked him. There was no reason not to like such a young man. Being able to make Desolate Emperor speechless, Jiang Chen's ability must be extraordinary.
Originally, Gu Firmament wanted to come to the Law Enforcement Palace and forcefully take Jiang Chen away. But now, it seemed that Jiang Chen's words were reasonable and the Law Enforcement Palace had no way to punish him directly.
"Jiang Chen, I don't believe that your luck is strong enough to make the immortal Qi take the initiative to find you. If you want to prove your innocence, then release your Divine Soul and let me use the Soul Absorbing Technique to find out whether you're lying or not."
Desolate Emperor's aura fluctuated as he said.
"Desolate Emperor, don't go too far. Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you control the Law Enforcement Palace. Since you can't produce any evidence, I'll take him away now. You're a dignified Palace Master, how dare you use the Soul Absorbing Technique on a junior? Don't you feel ashamed? I'm standing here today, you can try and touch Gu Chen."
Gu Firmament was furious. Desolate Emperor's method was simply ridiculous. If he let Jiang Chen release his Divine Soul, he would be handing his life directly into the hands of Desolate Emperor. If Desolate Emperor killed Jiang Chen directly because of jealousy, who could he ask for justice?
"Desolate Emperor, you've gone too far. It's beneath your status. The Law Enforcement Palace has never enforced the law like this. If you don't have evidence, don't arrest people. If you arrest people, you must have evidence."
Heavenly Peng King said. It seemed that because of Jiang Chen and Da Huang Dog, he and Gu Firmament had stood together.
Desolate Emperor's face was incomparably unsightly, as if he was shrouded by a layer of haze. Originally, he thought that he could rely on his aura to scare Jiang Chen into confessing everything, but he didn't expect that this young man would be so difficult to deal with. Just like what Jiang Chen said, he wanted to punish Jiang Chen because of the incident in the Refining Tower, but he didn't have any strong evidence.
Now that Gu Firmament and Heavenly Peng King were both here and stood on the same side, it was even more impossible for him to punish Jiang Chen directly because he was the Palace Master of the Law Enforcement Palace.
"Alright, let's put this matter aside for the time being. Gu Chen, you killed three geniuses of my Desolate Palace without any explanation. You are just a new disciple, but this is your first time in the Refining Tower. How dare you act so recklessly and crazily? You don't put the rules of the Refining Tower in your eyes at all. I want to punish you. What do you have to say?"
Desolate Emperor shifted his target to the people of Desolate Palace who were killed.
Upon hearing this, the corner of Jiang Chen's mouth revealed a trace of a sneer. "I did kill three geniuses of Desolate Palace, but if you want to talk about breaking the rules, it was the geniuses of Desolate Palace who started it first. They attacked the people of Gu Palace first and even threatened to kill us. Do you think that Gu Palace is a pushover? Do you think that the people of Gu Dian Palace can only stand there and be killed by the people of Desolate Palace? What kind of bullshit logic is this? "
Jiang Chen's tit for tat made Gu Firmament nod his head in anger. As a disciple of Gu Palace, it was necessary for Gu Chen to stand up for the geniuses of Gu Palace. They, the people of Gu Palace, couldn't be bullied without fighting back.
"Desolate Emperor, you have also heard it. This matter was started by your Desolate Palace. Gu Chen was just defending himself. Besides, it's common for the disciples to fight among themselves, even if it's just a matter of studying abroad. How can you bring this matter to Law Enforcement Palace? Aren't you ashamed?"
