Chapter 4 - Ch. 3

Tai Xuan Saint Master's face turned gloomier.

"Young Master Gu, this disciple of Ye Chen doesn't know etiquette. I hope you won't be angry."

All the guests were watching the show.

When has the Tai Xuan Saint Master ever lost face like this?

At this moment, Tai Xuan Saint Son Chu Xuan took the initiative to express his goodwill.

"Saint Master, let me take Ye Chen down and apologize to Young Master Gu."

As he spoke, he had already made his move. Runes flickered and appeared on his palm, which extended towards Ye Chen.

Rumble! Rumbles of thunder resounded in the void.

Runes intertwined, turning into terrifying lightning similar to a lightning dragon.

As the Tai Xuan Saint Son, his strength was naturally at the acme of his generation.

Ye Chen was merely an inner disciple.

The gap between their realms was too big.

How could he be Chu Xuan's opponent?

Inside the palace, lights and runes flickered.

Everyone was watching this battle.

Many people, including Tai Xuan Saint Master, didn't care about the unfairness of this fight, they were only waiting for Ye Chen's defeat.

Among the major powers, there were many spies from the other Saint Lands and Aristocratic Families, and their face would be criticized if they made a move.

Thus, they were relying on Chu Xuan to regain their and the sect's face.

"Good."

Ye Chen, however, believed he could win and thus wasn't afraid at all, instead he was even excited.

His magic power surged as he met the attack with a palm.

An inner sect disciple mocked in disdain.

"This Ye Chen is overestimating himself. He doesn't even look at his own abilities. He's simply courting death."

"Saint Son Chu Xuan is a Quasi-Transcendent Realm expert, while Ye Chen is merely a Soul Palace expert. Not to mention, the Saint Son has the Thunder Prison Divine Body…"

"There won't be any upheavals in this battle."

The other disciples also agreed, feeling that Ye Chen was courting death.

In the next moment, flames flickered and lightning burst forth.

Hair fluttered in the wind as blazing and resplendent light collided in the void.

Chu Xuan's body trembled, his powerful body somewhat numb.

Ye Chen, on the other hand, was like a young fire god. He stood there unmoving, his expression confident.

"What …"

"He's so strong …"

Many young female disciples couldn't help but have a strange light in their eyes asYe Chen's strength far exceeded their expectations.

In this exchange of blows, the two of them were evenly matched, and there was no clear victor.

All of the disciples and elders were shocked by what they saw.

Even the Tai Xuan Sacred Master was shocked.

"Ye Chen is clearly only at the Soul Palace Realm. How could he block the move of a Quasi-Transcendent expert?"

One had to know that Chu Xuan possessed the Thunder Prison Divine Physique, which allowed him to fight above his level.

Within the same generation, it was even harder to find an opponent.

However, facing Ye Chen, who was a whole realm lower than him, Chu Xuan couldn't even take Ye Chen down with one palm strike?

Could it be that Ye Chen was more talented than Chu Xuan? But, why hadn't anyone noticed this before?

Of course, if there was anyone present who wasn't surprised by this, it was definitely Gu Changge.

After all, he knew that Ye Chen was the Son of Destiny.

Slapping people's faces and shocking them was a common occurrence for protagonists.

Instead, he simply sipped his tea slowly.

"You seem to have a lot of confidence in this Ye Chen?"

His tone was neither fast nor slow.

Hearing this, Su Qingge turned her head, and a ripple suddenly appeared in her originally calm eyes.

An elegant fragrance wafted over, like orchids and musk, with her gaze.

She didn't say anything, but her appearance had already exposed her emotions.

Gu Changge's eyes seemed to stare into her very soul.

He smiled.

"You're trying so hard to keep calm. Do you want me to think that you have nothing to do with Ye Chen? Are you afraid that I'll deal with him otherwise?"

"You're really a smart woman."

His words revealed everything.

His words made her more uneasy than before, and fear toward Gu Changge began to sprout in her heart.

However, she pursed her lips and still didn't say anything.

Gu Changge glanced at the teacup and said calmly, "It's empty …"

Su Qingge glanced at him then silently picked up the teapot and gently filled his teacup.

"Interesting."

He seemed to be talking to himself, but it also seemed to be directed toward Su Qingge.

Su Qingge's hand holding the teapot trembled slightly under the gaze of Gu Changge's strange smile.

Gu Changge could easily see through hundreds of such tricks.

The reason why Ye Chen was so anxious today was purely because he had heard that the Tai Xuan Saint Master had sent his daughter to his palace last night.

However, Ye Chen worried for naught as his original personality was actually very indifferent, caring only for cultivation, so Gu Changge didn't even touch Su Qingge.

Judging from this relationship, it was obvious that Su Qingge was the so-called female lead.

After all, according to the storyline, Ye Chen had risen from a small place, fought in the Hundred Dynasty War, and then finally joined Tai Xuan Sacred Land.

Su Qingge had great talent and a perfect appearance. As the Saintess of Tai Xuan Sacred Land, she was also very smart.

She recognized that Ye Chen was like an egg hitting a rock, thus she didn't plead for Ye Chen.

Instead, she would act as if Ye Chen disgusted her, drawing a clear line between her and Ye Chen and misleading Gu Changge to believe she had nothing to do with Ye Chen.

With such a character, if she wasn't the female lead, what was she?

Unfortunately, Gu Changge had already seen through all of this.

He looked down on all from a god's perspective.

Now, after Gu Changge knew his role as the villain, he didn't plan to let Su Qingge go.

Although a forced melon was not sweet, it could quench one's thirst.

"I underestimated you."

At this moment, Sacred Son Chu Xuan's expression was not very good. He coldly said this, intending to continue.

In front of so many people, especially Gu Changge, not being able to take down Ye Chen was a severe embarrassment.

However, at this moment, Gu Changge appeared among the mortals and waved his hand.

"Boring."

This made Ye Chen's expression stiffen, as if his entire body had turned silly.

"But, since this matter is related to me, then I won't trouble Sacred Son Chu Xuan."

"Is the so-called fearlessness because of ignorance?," asked Gu Channge indifferently.

Gu Changge's gaze fell.

In the next moment, a majestic and terrifying pressure, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was collapsing, instantly swept over like a tide.

A terrifying hurricane swept through the entire hall. Runes flickered, and spirit Qi fluctuated.

Everyone felt fear from the depths of their souls.

Even many elders' expressions changed, trembling in the midst of such power.

"This is Young Master Gu's strength."

The Tai Xuan Saint Master's expression turned grave.

Puff!

As the person in question, Ye Chen received the brunt of the power, and thus his expression changed drastically.

His face turned pale.

His legs went soft, forcing him to kneel on the ground.

Next, his head crashed into the ground as if he was bowing before a god.

He could no longer move.

He was completely suppressed.

No matter how many times he called for his master in the ring, his master remained silent, refusing to help.

"His strength…how could he be so strong?"

Ye Chen raised his head with difficulty, looking at the white-robed man who looked as if he was looking at an ant.

He was still somewhat in disbelief and unwillingness.

Wasn't Ye Chen just showing off a second ago?

'I can do it too.'

Gu Changge's face was filled with indifference and arrogance, but he was actually sneering in his heart.

Needless to say, before his interference, Ye Chen would have beaten Chu Xuan and thus would have slapped everyone in the face.

Subsequently, Ye Chen would take the opportunity to challenge him.

'How about a bet of three palms?'

'However, wouldn't it be easy for him to do it with the old man hiding in his ring?'

'What a good idea for Ye Chen!'

However, Gu Changge was a transmigrator, and he had a cheat.
