No one felt anything about Gu Lian's surrender. At least he had already fought and Jiang Chen had given him a way out of this embarrassing situation. It was the wisest choice to surrender now. If he continued to fight shamelessly, he would really be looked down upon. A person who couldn't even see the situation clearly was no different from a boorish man.
"Brother Gu, you don't have to be so polite."
Jiang Chen cupped his fists and responded to Gu Lian. Then, he turned around and looked at all the people of Gu Palace, from the Elders to the disciples. He found that all of them were looking at him with blazing eyes.
"To all the brothers of the Main Palace, I, Gu Chen, would like to apologize for what happened three days ago."
Jiang Chen said in a clear voice, "But I had no choice but to fight with Gu Lian today. I only have one purpose, and that is to let all the people of Gu Palace know that we are a family. We all have the surname Gu and the bloodline of the Ancient people flows in our bodies. There shouldn't be any division between the Main Palace and the Outer Palace. If Gu Palace wants to be absolutely powerful, this contradiction must be completely resolved. You should know that the ancestors who founded Gu Palace also came from the Ancient people of the Pure Land. Even those Ancestors who have already ascended to the Immortal Realm don't want to see Gu Palace divided into factions. I, Gu Chen, want all the geniuses of the Main Palace to see that the people of the Outer Palace also have the ability. If they didn't have the ability, they wouldn't be standing here. You have no reason to look down on them because we are a family. Trying to feel superior in front of one's own family is really something that people of Gu Palace should look down on."
The whole martial arts practice field was extremely quiet. Everyone, including Gu Firmament, was listening to Jiang Chen confidently. Every word of Jiang Chen touched people's hearts. Some of the geniuses of the Main Palace even lowered their heads and felt a little ashamed.
Jiang Chen was right. Although they were members of the main palace, they had the same ancestor and the same bloodline. They were all family. What was so great about bullying one's own people? If they had the ability, they could bully their opponents.
Back in the Refining Tower, they were bullied by Desolate Palace, and it was Jiang Chen who stood up for them. They shouldn't feel superior in front of their own people. Although Jiang Chen was from the outer palace and came from the Pure Land, he was much stronger than them in terms of talent and combat strength. However, was Jiang Chen not superior enough in front of them? However, Jiang Chen had never displayed his superiority in front of them. Instead, he displayed his strength in front of his enemies and stood up for his own people. This was the truth, and there was no need to say more.
"Gu Chen, I, Gu Ling, would like to apologize to you and the outer hall for what happened three days ago. From today onwards, I, Gu Ling, will no longer look down on the people of the outer hall. You're right, we're all family."
Gu Ling stood out from the crowd and said loudly. Then, he bowed deeply towards the people of the outer palace.
"That's right. Big Brother Gu Chen is right. From now on, there will be no more internal conflicts in Gu Palace. We're all family. The blood flowing in our veins is the blood of the Ancient people."
"I, Gu Lang, used to bully the people of the outer palace. Now that I think about it, it's really hateful. Thanks to the appearance of Gu Chen, we all understand this truth. If the internal conflicts of Gu Palace continue to develop, it will sooner or later lead to its own destruction."
… …
For a moment, many geniuses of the main palace stood out to speak. Not only was Jiang Chen powerful, but he also knew how to conduct himself. He had completely conquered them and changed their view of the Outer Palace. Seeing this situation, many high-level elders were also moved. They knew better than anyone else how terrible the internal conflicts were and how serious the consequences would be for Gu Palace. Now, even the disciples had understood it. If they still couldn't, then they wouldn't be worthy of being called experts.
All the disciples of the Outer Palace heaved a sigh of relief. They could finally hold their heads up high. They had enough of the days of being bullied. From now on, they had their own identities and were the true people of Gu Palace.
All the disciples of the Outer Palace looked at Jiang Chen, who was still standing on the fighting platform. Their eyes were filled with passion and worship. They were all proud and arrogant people. They were all geniuses among geniuses. They had never admired anyone before, let alone worshiped him.
"Boy, not bad. The conflict that even I couldn't solve was solved so easily by you."
Gu Firmament's voice sounded in Jiang Chen's ears. What he said was true. Although he was the high and mighty palace master, such a conflict wasn't easy to solve. The conflict had already been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Using forceful means would only produce the opposite of the desired result. Everything that had happened since Jiang Chen came to Gu Palace had paved the way for him to solve the internal conflict of Gu Palace. Therefore, after today's battle with Gu Lian, the conflict would be resolved completely.
"Everyone heard it. All of you have the blood of the Ancient people. I don't want Gu Palace to be divided into the Inner Palace and the Outer Palace in the future. Everyone is equal. As long as we, the Ancient people, work together, we will become stronger sooner or later."
Gu Firmament said a few words and then disappeared directly. Many people saw that when Gu Firmament left, there was a smile on his face.
The conflict of Gu Palace had been completely solved. In the future, it would show a great effect in the cultivation project, which was very important to a major power.
Jiang Chen had become the number one hero of Gu Palace. The higher ups valued him and the subordinates worshipped him. In just three days, Jiang Chen had become famous, not only in Gu Palace, but also in the entire Saint Origin Palace.
After the battle with Gu Lian, Jiang Chen didn't go into seclusion. Instead, he went to Demon Palace. Through the matter of Law Enforcement Palace, Gu Palace and Demon Palace were connected. Da Huang Dog had a very high status in Demon Palace. It was time for Jiang Chen to pay a visit to Demon Palace. He believed that Heavenly Peng King would be very happy to see him.
Gu Palace was bustling with noise and excitement. From the top to the bottom, everyone's face was filled with smiles. It was a great thing for Gu Palace to take control of Law Enforcement Palace. One should know that the special existence of Law Enforcement Palace wasn't just for law enforcement, but also for the distribution of cultivation resources. All these years, Desolate Palace had been in charge of Law Enforcement Palace, which gave them a huge advantage in this aspect and allowed them to obtain a lot of good cultivation resources.
Now, it was finally Gu Palace's turn to be in charge. Naturally, they were very excited.
Compared to Gu Palace's congratulations, the atmosphere in Desolate Palace was depressing. For many years, Desolate Palace had never been so depressed and aggrieved. From Desolate Emperor to the ordinary disciples, everyone's face was filled with anger.
No one had ever made Desolate Palace suffer such a big loss. In the Refining Tower, they had lost three geniuses and the face of Desolate Palace. In the Law Enforcement Palace, they made Desolate Palace lose face. Not only did they lose another Desolate Yitang, they also made Desolate Emperor a laughingstock. This was an incomparably abominable thing.
"Dammit! That Gu Chen is too abominable. We must find an opportunity to kill him."
"I'm afraid it won't be that easy. If he hides in Gu Palace and doesn't come out, we can't go to Gu Palace to kill him. Moreover, the matter of Law Enforcement Palace was a bet between Palace Master and him."
"I never thought that the Ancient people of Pure Land could cultivate such a heaven defying genius. This person's existence is absolutely a great threat to Desolate Palace. As long as there's a chance, we must eliminate him. If we allow this person to grow, it will only be a matter of time before Gu Palace surpasses Desolate Palace."
… …..
The people of Desolate Palace hated Jiang Chen to the bone. They couldn't wait to eat his flesh raw. The existence of Jiang Chen had also attracted the attention of the higher ups of Desolate Palace. Feeling threatened, many experts had made up their minds to eliminate Gu Chen. Only by eliminating Gu Chen could they feel at ease and restore the lost face of Desolate Palace.
In fact, it wasn't only Desolate Palace that had noticed Jiang Chen. The other major palaces were also the same. It would be a lie to say that they weren't jealous of such a genius, but Jiang Chen didn't have any direct conflict with them. So, they were just jealous of him.
However, they believed that given the style of Desolate Palace, they wouldn't let Jiang Chen go so easily.
Jiang Chen stayed in Demon Palace for a day before returning to Gu Palace. He had a pleasant conversation with Heavenly Peng King. Heavenly Peng King was also very worried about the overall situation of Saint Origin Palace. Demon Palace belonged to the Demon Race, which was fundamentally different from humans. Therefore, they were extremely sensitive to all kinds of dangers. The ambition of Desolate Palace was obvious, but even Heavenly Peng King didn't know the real secret of Desolate Palace. However, both he and Jiang Chen believed that Desolate Palace wouldn't be able to swallow the entire Saint Origin Palace even if they had the ambition.
Jiang Chen knitted his brows. Saint Origin Palace looked calm on the surface, but in fact, there were surging undercurrents. His intuition told him that something big would happen in Saint Origin World sooner or later. Chaos wasn't far away.
Jiang Chen created a spatial zone for himself and hid in it. He was thinking about a question, a question about Ancestor Greenlotus. He had asked Gu Firmament and Heavenly Peng King about it, but both of them didn't know anything about Ancestor Greenlotus. This made Jiang Chen even more puzzled.
According to Great Master Ran Feng, Ancestor Greenlotus hadn't ascended to the Immortal realm, nor was he dead, but was imprisoned. Therefore, the only place that could imprison Ancestor Greenlotus in the entire Saint Origin World was Saint Origin Palace.
But if Ancestor Greenlotus was really in Saint Origin Palace, given Heavenly Peng King and Gu Firmament's status, it was impossible for them not to know anything about it. After all, they were already the overlords of Saint Origin Palace. If they didn't know anything about it, it would make Jiang Chen feel somewhat distressed.
"Could it be Desolate Palace?"
