Whoosh!
The sound of air being torn apart by the force of the energy came instantly, like a streak of blue rainbow tearing through the sky.
The martial artist who had fought his way out of the Steel Tremor Sect had just reached the doorway along the roof when he sensed danger approaching. He initially ignored it, letting out a muffled groan, intending to open it with a flick of his sleeve.
But the moment he touched the energy, his expression changed drastically!
Because his arm seemed to have touched a huge force, not only could his palm not block it, but it even tore his sleeve to shreds, and with the remaining force, it struck his chest directly!
Bang!!
When he realized something was wrong and tried to exert more force, it was too late to react. He was struck by the force and fell directly off the building, landing heavily on the ground.
"Second Elder!"
When they saw this person come out, the faces of the Steel Tremor Sect warriors lying on the ground showed joy. However, they never expected that in just a few seconds, the situation would take a dramatic turn, and this person would soon follow in their footsteps!
Therefore, everyone was greatly surprised and let out a cry of alarm.
The Second Elder clutched his chest and waved his hand to indicate that he was alright, but his unsteady gait and the purplish-blue color on his face betrayed that he was injured!
Everyone was shocked; to be injured in a single exchange was simply unbelievable!
"I hate pretentious people the most." Gu Chen stood calmly in place, watching the Second Elder slowly stand up, and said, "So, next time you want to appear in front of me, please walk. Also, I'm timid, so don't shout or make a scene, it'll scare me."
"You!"
Hearing Gu Chen's sarcastic remark, the Second Elder almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He suppressed the churning in his chest and looked at the young-looking Gu Chen, unable to believe that he had actually lost to Gu Chen in a single move.
However, when he turned his gaze and saw Old Yu standing to the side, his eyes narrowed instantly!
"Yu Sheng!?" The Second Elder's face immediately turned extremely ugly. He said, "Your Zhuge Family wants to deal with us?"
"No." Yu Sheng stood respectfully behind Gu Chen and said calmly, "I came with Young Master Gu."
"Young Master Gu? Which Young Master Gu?" the Second Elder asked.
"My name is Gu Chen. I just sent someone to announce my arrival, but unfortunately, the people from your Steel Tremor Sect are not giving me face and are unwilling to do so. Therefore, I have no choice but to take action myself." Gu Chen smiled faintly, extended his hand, and said calmly, "Come in with me."
Gu Chen?!
Why did this name feel both familiar and strange to him? Several thoughts raced through the Second Elder's mind. Before he could ponder them deeply, he felt a powerful force come from him, and then he was sucked into Gu Chen's palm.
Gu Chen grabbed him by the neck, and he felt incredibly humiliated, but he couldn't break free no matter how hard he tried.
Gu Chen's hand, like a pair of vises, held him firmly in his palm. Then, he carried him towards the gate of the Daoist temple.
"I remember now!"
The martial artists on the ground dared not stop him, nor did they dare to stand up. However, just as Gu Chen stepped in, the Second Elder on his arm suddenly remembered something, shuddered, and exclaimed in horror, "You, you are Gu Chen, the Gu Chen from Zhou City?"
"Right!"
Gu Chen looked down at him and said, "I am Gu Chen."
hiss--
The Second Elder gasped, momentarily forgetting he was still in Gu Chen's hands. He looked up at Gu Chen and asked, "You... you've come to the Shangjing?"
"Just arrived today."
Gu Chen said, "That's why they came to pay their respects right away."
This isn't a visit to pay respects; it's a provocation, a trouble-making attempt!
The Second Elder could not hide his shock, but there was no time for him to speak again, because Gu Chen had already entered the courtyard of the Daoist temple.
The commotion outside had already alerted the people inside the Steel Tremor Sect. As soon as Gu Chen stepped into the Steel Tremor Sect Daoist temple, dozens of people poured out within seconds.
These martial artists were brimming with energy, and their ferocity was far greater than the battle they had just fought at the Liu Family's residence.
These martial artists were all menacing, their faces fierce, and they stared coldly at Gu Chen.
This is the first time in all these years that anyone has dared to act so arrogantly towards their Steel Tremor Sect in the Shangjing!
"Young Master Gu..."
Even Yu Sheng was sweating at the sight of this. As a Bone-Forge Realm martial artist, he could naturally sense that most of the martial artists who rushed out were at this level, and some were even higher.
The few people who emerged from the Zhengxuan Gate of the Daoist temple were Grandmaster Realm martial artists. The suppression of their aura was like dark clouds in the night, making it almost impossible to breathe.
Gu Chen shook his head without answering, but his face remained calm throughout.
Seeing his expression, Yu Sheng calmed down a little, but he was still somewhat nervous.
"Release the Second Elder!"
The person walking towards us had a small braid, an air of authority that wasn't angry, and a fierce, stern expression.
"Who are you?" Gu Chen asked calmly.
"I am Wei Aozhong, the Grand Elder of the Steel Tremor Sect!" the man with the pigtail said menacingly. "Boy, do you know where you are? You dare to cause trouble here? You're tired of living!"
"Elder, can you stand up for the Steel Tremor Sect?" Gu Chen completely ignored Wei Aozhong's threats and continued to ask, "If you can't, then let your patriarch come out."
"Make the decision?" Wei Aozhong smiled cruelly and said, "I can still make the decision to kill you!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the warriors of the Steel Tremor Sect unleashed an even more ferocious and powerful aura than before, roaring in unison.
It was as if an invisible aura was being released, spreading throughout the entire void!
Under pressure, even Old Yu's legs went weak, while his Honghe Sect collapsed to the ground, their bodies soaked in sweat.
Wei Aozhong looked at Gu Chen with murderous intent in his eyes.
After all, this is the headquarters of the Steel Tremor Sect, and there are at least eighty to a hundred martial artists here!
The air was thick with the viscous blood, as if a string had been taut and tightly wound!
He is Gu Chen!
Just then, the Second Elder finally came to his senses and let out a loud roar!
"Gu Chen?!"
Wei Aozhong narrowed his eyes, suddenly remembering something, and said, "You're Gu Chen, the one who killed Jiang Yi and Yue Mingke in Zhou City and stole the Shennong Grass?"
"Shennong Grass isn't exclusive to your Steel Tremor Sect, what do you mean by 'stealing' it?"
Gu Chen remained calm and said indifferently, "You all overestimate yourselves!"
"Outrageous!" Wei Aozhong anger, his voice cold as he said, "Then it was you who killed the people of our Steel Tremor Sect, wasn't it?"
"Not bad!" Gu Chen slightly raised his chin and said, "Jiang Yi colluded with the Zhou Family, he deserves to die! Yue Mingke and the Liu Family together tried to kill me, they deserve to die even more!"
"You audacious Madman, utterly stubborn and incorrigible!"
Wei Aozhong, unable to bear it any longer, said, "Put down the Second Elder, hand over the Shennong Grass, and I'll give you a whole corpse!"
"What, you think I used your Second Elder to threaten you?"
Gu Chen smiled faintly, flicked his wrist, and tossed aside the Second Elder. He then stepped forward and said arrogantly, "Now I'm letting go. I'll give you a chance. Come on!"
