When Gu Dao arrived at the Dao Gu Imperial Palace, Vegeta had just slaughtered the Female Imperial Venerable.
Wang Chen eyed Vegeta as though facing a formidable enemy. "Who are you?"
"Relax. I'm not your enemy, but your friend. With me here today, even the Ancient Ancestor couldn't keep you here. You have my word." Vegeta pointed his thumb at his nose.
Just then, Gu Dao appeared before them. The Ancient Race's people fell to their knees and paid their respects. "Greetings, Great Heavenly Venerable Gu Dao."
Gu Dao waved his hand, and the Ancient Race's people involuntarily rose to their feet.
"Senior, why didn't you tell me you were visiting the Ancient Race? I could have shown you proper hospitality," Gu Dao said.
"We simply wanted to travel through the Ancient Race's lands as ordinary people. That's why we didn't tell you or the Ancient Dao God," Zalama said.
"I see. Then please come to Ancient Dao God Mountain for a chat, Senior," Gu Dao said.
Zalama nodded. Vegeta said, "You and Broly go ahead. I want to talk to Wang Chen."
"Don't interfere too much. He can handle everything himself," Zalama said.
Vegeta nodded. In a flash, Zalama, Broly, and Gu Dao vanished from the Dao Gu Imperial Palace.
"You've got guts, kid. Weren't you afraid you wouldn't make it out of the Dao Gu Imperial Palace?" Vegeta asked.
"As long as Gu Dao and the Ancient Ancestor stayed out of it, I believed I was strong enough to leave the Dao Gu Imperial Palace," Wang Chen said.
"And what if they intervened?" Vegeta asked.
"Then Bing Mei and I would live or die together, but the Dao Gu Imperial Palace would cease to exist," Wang Chen said.
"Good. I like that attitude. You're a friend worth having.
