"Humph! Gu Chen, a new disciple, has openly killed three geniuses of Desolate Palace in the Refining Tower. If I don't punish him for his insanity, he will surely turn the Heavens upside down in the future. Where will the face of Desolate Palace be? "
Desolate Emperor harrumphed coldly. It wasn't easy for him to capture Jiang Chen today. He didn't want to let Jiang Chen go just like that.
"Since Desolate Emperor is talking about face, then your Third Grade Great Saint couldn't defeat me, a First Grade Great Saint, and was killed by me instead. Do you think you have any face left? Now, you, the dignified Desolate Emperor, have personally intervened in the battle between your disciples? Don't you feel ashamed? "
Jiang Chen said indifferently. He didn't care about killing Desolate Ichiro and the other two geniuses because it wasn't a rare thing. The grudges between the eight major families had existed for a very long time. No one knew how many bloody incidents had taken place over the years, especially the battles between the disciples. Generally, the disciples would settle it themselves.
"Desolate Emperor, don't you have any face left? It's shameful enough that the disciples of Desolate Palace are incompetent. Just like what Gu Chen said, only Desolate Palace can kill them and they can't kill Desolate Palace. What kind of logic is this? Does Desolate Palace have the power to cover the sky with one hand? Is the life of Desolate Palace more precious than ours? "
Gu Firmament Leng Leng said.
"Who said that the geniuses of Desolate Palace are incompetent?"
Desolate Emperor was somewhat infuriated. Desolate Palace, as the number one palace in Saint Origin Palace, had always been high and mighty. No one dared to disobey them. Now, someone had said that their geniuses were incompetent. How could he bear it?
"Alright. Since Desolate Emperor said that your geniuses are very powerful, I have a solution. Today, I, Gu Chen, am here. Desolate Emperor can ask any Fourth Grade Great Saint of Desolate Palace to fight me. If I lose, I will be at the mercy of the Law Enforcement Palace. If I win, the people of Desolate Palace will have to lower their heads when they see Gu Palace."
Jiang Chen seized the opportunity and said. Today's matter must be resolved. Jiang Chen never liked to be passive, so he might as well take the initiative. Plus, he believed that Desolate Emperor wouldn't refuse the conditions that he proposed. Once he did, it would mean that he was admitting that their geniuses weren't good enough. After all, Jiang Chen was only a Second Grade Great Saint. There was nothing to say about challenging a Fourth Grade Great Saint as a Second Grade Great Saint.
Moreover, this was also a good time to establish Gu Palace's prestige. Now that Gu Firmament was here, he wanted to win enough face for Gu Palace and let Gu Firmament hold his head high.
Jiang Chen's words stunned Desolate Emperor. He had never thought that this guy would be so arrogant as to challenge their Fourth Grade Great Saint genius. This left him speechless.
"How about it, Desolate Emperor? You don't dare? If you don't dare, we will leave now. "
Gu Firmament's face was filled with a sunny smile. It wasn't often that he could see Desolate Emperor being humiliated. Today was just too refreshing. The emergence of such a genius in Gu Palace had truly made him feel happy.
"Alright. Since this kid wants to fight, Desolate Palace won't back down. Just you wait."
Desolate Emperor's eyes turned cold. Naturally, he wouldn't say the word 'I don't dare' because he couldn't afford to lose his face.
Almost as soon as Desolate Emperor's voice faded, a silhouette suddenly appeared in the main hall of the Law Enforcement Palace. It was a youth who seemed to be less than thirty years old. He was extraordinarily handsome and had already reached the peak of the Fourth Grade Great Saint. He was only one step away from advancing to the Fifth Grade Great Saint.
"Palace master has summoned me."
The youth came to Desolate Emperor and bowed deeply.
"Desolate Yitang, you will fight Gu Chen. Remember, it will be a life-and-death battle. The revenge of Desolate Ichiro will depend on you."
Desolate Emperor's tone was incomparably cold. Desolate Yitang was one of the most outstanding Fourth Grade Great Saints in Desolate Palace. He was a supreme genius who was many times stronger than Gu Lian who had a battle agreement with Jiang Chen. He was only one step away from the Fifth Grade Great Saint.
Although Jiang Chen was a rare and peerless genius, Desolate Emperor absolutely didn't believe that Jiang Chen could defeat Desolate Yitang. In his point of view, the two of them weren't even on the same level.
"Understood, palace master."
Desolate Yitang looked at Jiang Chen with a face full of coldness and killing intent. He was also present at the scene of the incident in the Refining Tower, but Desolate Changfeng and the others were there, so he didn't have the chance to speak. Now that Desolate Emperor had personally asked him to deal with Jiang Chen, it meant that he thought highly of Jiang Chen. To him, this was a rare opportunity to show off. The battle with Jiang Chen was related to his face, the face of Desolate Emperor and the entire Desolate Palace. He simply couldn't afford to lose.
Therefore, he had to kill this bastard from Gu Palace. At that time, Desolate Emperor would certainly reward him personally. Once he received the reward, it was highly possible for him to break through to the Fifth Grade Great Saint.
The appearance of Desolate Yitang, however, made Gu Firmament frown.
"Desolate Emperor, don't go too far. Desolate Yitang is a peak Fourth Grade Great Saint. You are too shameless to ask him to deal with a Second Grade Great Saint junior."
Gu Firmament couldn't help but speak.
"Haha, that's what Gu Chen said himself."
Desolate Emperor chuckled, not putting Gu Firmament's words in his heart. In his point of view, this was the pit that Gu Chen had dug himself, so he should jump into it himself.
"That's right. I'm willing to fight him."
Jiang Chen spoke. He had already advanced to the Second Grade Great Saint. His combat strength was many times stronger than before. Any ordinary Fourth Grade Great Saint would be killed instantly by him. Even a powerful existence like Desolate Yitang was nothing in front of Jiang Chen. Desolate Yitang wouldn't stand a chance against Jiang Chen.
"Gu Chen, don't mess around. As long as you take back what you said just now, I will take you away immediately. This Desolate Yitang isn't an ordinary genius. You may not be a match for him."
Gu Firmament's voice was transmitted to Jiang Chen's ears.
Jiang Chen expressed his understanding of Gu Firmament's concern. One should know that there was a huge gap between a Third Grade Great Saint and a Fourth Grade Great Saint. It was equivalent to the gap between an early Great Saint and an intermediate Great Saint. Although Jiang Chen had advanced to the Second Grade Great Saint, he was still in the early Great Saint realm. Even if Jiang Chen could deal with an ordinary Fourth Grade Great Saint, he wouldn't be able to deal with an existence like Desolate Yitang. Desolate Yitang wasn't an ordinary Fourth Grade Great Saint.
"Rest assured, palace master. If he wants to fight, I will definitely kill him to earn back the reputation of Gu Palace. Besides, there has to be a solution to today's matter. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Desolate Emperor won't let this matter go."
Jiang Chen replied to Gu Firmament, his words were full of confidence.
"Alright, then be careful."
Gu Firmament didn't say anything more. He admired Jiang Chen's confidence and courage. If Gu Palace could nurture such a genius, he would certainly become a great figure in the future. Therefore, Gu Firmament wouldn't allow any harm to befall Jiang Chen. If Jiang Chen couldn't defeat Desolate Yitang, he would forcefully protect Jiang Chen.
"Gu Chen, you are really courageous to agree to fight with me. I am very surprised. I will definitely kill you later to defend the dignity of Desolate Palace and avenge Desolate Ichiro and the others. The blood of Desolate Palace isn't shed in vain."
Desolate Yitang said arrogantly. In his point of view, killing Jiang Chen would be as easy as blowing off dust if he wanted to.
* Hua La *
Desolate Emperor waved his hand. With a 'hua la' sound, a spatial zone was opened up in the main hall of the Law Enforcement Palace. This spatial zone was a hundred miles in circumference. It was the battlefield for Jiang Chen and Desolate Yitang.
"In that case, you two can enter the battlefield and fight. Remember, this is a life-and-death duel. You will die in vain."
Desolate Emperor specially reminded Gu Firmament, which meant that even if Jiang Chen died, he would die in vain, and Gu Firmament could only watch helplessly.
"Wait."
Jiang Chen said.
"What? Are you afraid? But it's too late. "
Desolate Yitang looked at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen ignored Desolate Yitang and looked at Desolate Emperor. "Desolate Emperor, since this is a life-and-death duel, why don't we increase the stakes?"
"Oh? What do you want to bet? "
Desolate Emperor's interest was piqued.
"If you want to bet, let's make it big. If I win, the position of Law Enforcement Palace's Palace Master will be taken by Gu Palace."
Jiang Chen's words set off a thousand ripples. As his voice faded, the entire Law Enforcement Palace could no longer remain calm.
"What? You want our Palace Master to abdicate? How dare you! "
"Gu Chen! How dare you say such words? How disgraceful! Just based on these words alone, the Law Enforcement Palace is enough to sentence you to death."
The elders of Desolate Palace in the main hall were infuriated. The others were also shocked. No one had thought that Jiang Chen would dare to make such a request. However, the elders of the Ancient People's Palace were delighted. Although the Law Enforcement Palace was an independent palace, it was composed of experts from the eight major families. Who didn't want their patriarch to be the Palace Master?
Gu Firmament didn't say a word. He was watching Desolate Emperor's reaction. This Jiang Chen had really surprised him, but at the same time, he was very satisfied. He could see that Jiang Chen was mature and had his own way of doing things. There was no need for him to give him any advice.
Desolate Emperor's face darkened. The Law Enforcement Palace had always been under the control of Desolate Palace. One should know that whoever controlled the Law Enforcement Palace would be able to obtain the largest amount of cultivation resources. Now, Jiang Chen was using the position of Law Enforcement Palace's Palace Master as a wager.
"Brat, you are using my position as a wager. What will you get if you lose? Are you going to use Gu Firmament's head as a wager? "
Desolate Emperor looked at Jiang Chen.
"I, Gu Chen, never use others as a wager. If I lose, I will take out five billion Saint Elixir as the wager."
