The first thousand two hundred and seventy fifth chapters
She was really worried that Gu Chen was no match for the Emperor of Power. Although he killed Pang Zheng, in the final analysis, Pang Zheng's reputation was more because of his youth and promise.
However, being young also means being inexperienced, so it’s not surprising that you accidentally stumble.
But Emperor Li was different. He had been famous for a long time and was recognized as a tycoon. Gu Chenzhen might not be able to get any benefits.
"Thank you for reminding me, I understand."
Gu Chenyun said calmly, as he spoke, they had already arrived outside the Heavenly Punishment Hall!
The Hall of Heaven's Punishment is the place where every Heaven's Punishment general in Xing County is awarded a title, and its solemnity and sacredness can be seen.
Wuli didn't dare to take a step forward outside the Heavenly Punishment Palace, while Gu Chen walked in calmly and alone!
Swish, swish, swish!
As soon as Gu Chen entered the hall, he immediately felt many eyes.
There were already many people standing on both sides of the hall. On the left side were four generals wearing armor. Their armors were roughly the same as those worn by Pang Zheng. They were obviously other generals of Heavenly Punishment.
At the first place on the right side of the hall stood Kong Sheng, whom he had met yesterday. When he saw Gu Chen arriving, he smiled slightly at him.
Standing next to Kong Sheng were several men in black robes with gloomy temperaments. Their specific appearance could not be clearly seen, and they could not sense any cultivation. Gu Chen guessed that they were members of the Film Department.
Gu Chen's eyes briefly glanced at everyone, and his heart sank a little!
Forget it about Kong Sheng who couldn't see through it yesterday. The master of the film department may be proficient in concealing aura, but he can't see through it either.
However, even among the four Heavenly Punishment Generals present, he could not see through the cultivation of any one of them.
Everyone present is stronger than Pang Zheng!
Gu Chen secretly estimated in his heart that no matter who he fought with, he was not sure of winning.
Although his cultivation has greatly improved after entering the Imperial Realm, he is still too young and too immature to face such heroic figures in the Sea of Chaos!
The opinion in Gu Chen's heart is exactly what everyone in the hall thinks of him at the moment. In fact, compared to Gu Chen's opinion of himself, they are much lower.
"This kid killed Pang Zheng? Are you kidding me? You can't make a mistake, right?"
A general of Heaven's Punishment who was carrying a broad-bladed giant sword was the first to speak, not caring that Gu Chen was right in front of him, and criticized.
"Pang Zheng is too young. It was a mistake to make him an exception to become the Heavenly Punishment General. Now it's better, I'm afraid other forces should think that the Heavenly Punishment General in our Xingjun County is of such an inferior standard!"
Another general of Heavenly Punishment said coldly, obviously he didn't have a good impression of Gu Chen either.
Being despised in front of others, Gu Chen knew very well that if he pretended not to hear, he would probably be looked down upon even more by this group of people.
Feng Yaya reminds him that it makes sense to be tough enough. In this place where bullying is the norm, showing weakness will only lead to worse suppression!
"I didn't expect that the generals in the mighty Xingjun County are all such blind fools. No wonder they always lose battles."
Gu Chen spoke calmly, which made Kong Sheng, who was standing on the right side of the hall, couldn't help laughing. Several people in black robes also looked up at him with interest.
"What did you say?"
The four Heavenly Punishment generals present did not expect that Gu Chen would dare to speak directly against them. They immediately felt that their dignity had been humiliated and they all said angrily.
"Pang Zheng deceived me when I was young, and I ended up cutting him to pieces. Now you also despise me. Do you think your fate will be better than his?"
Gu Chen's eyes were filled with coldness as he looked at the four generals without any sign of weakness.
He was like a crazy and dangerous beast, exuding extreme murderous intent at this moment, which made the four generals look stern and speechless for a moment!
"Okay, okay! You are indeed young and energetic, a young hero."
Suddenly, there was a burst of applause outside the hall.
Everyone in the Heavenly Punishment Hall turned their heads to look, with awe on their faces.
Who dares to call himself "I" in this huge world of punishment?
Gu Chen felt awe-struck in his heart and turned to look at the entrance of the palace!
A burly man wearing heavy armor and standing three feet tall walked into the hall with a scurrying stride.
If you just look at his lower body, there is not much that is surprising. What is shocking is his neck and above.
He has no head!
"See my lord."
The leaders of the three tribes in the hall saluted one after another, which undoubtedly revealed the identity of the person in front of them.
Gu Chen took a deep breath and bowed slightly towards Lord Xingdao.
He had imagined the appearance of this Taoist Lord, but he never expected that he didn't even have a head.
If you don't even have a head, is this still alive?
Is he born like this, or is there some mystery behind it?
Gu Chen's heart was filled with reverie, but on the surface he didn't behave in the slightest rude way.
"No need to be polite, everyone."
Lord Xingdao walked towards the throne in the middle and sat down, his invisible majesty flowing throughout the Heavenly Punishment Hall.
The Heavenly Punishment Hall suddenly became quiet, and the previous quarrel disappeared.
"Magic Mountain, Huanyang Marquis, I know that some of you are dissatisfied with this appointment, but it is not a wise choice to openly provoke Gu Chen in the Heavenly Punishment Palace and trigger internal strife among your colleagues."
Lord Xingdao spoke indifferently.
These words caused cold sweat to break out on the foreheads of several of the Heavenly Punishment generals. They did not dare to explain, so they hurriedly said: "Please forgive me, Lord, I know I was wrong!"
Lord Xingdao had no intention of punishing a few people for this small mistake, so he turned to Gu Chen and said, "Gu Chen, you are new here. It is inevitable that some people in the punishment world will question you, so don't take it to heart."
These words were much gentler. Compared to the several Heavenly Punishment generals with great military exploits, Xing Daojun seemed to treat Gu Chen in a different light, which made all the leaders present look thoughtful.
"This junior understands and naturally won't argue with a few fellow Taoists."
Gu Chen was neither humble nor arrogant, and did not show any flattery due to Mr. Xingdao's courtesy.
Before today, he had thought about pretending to be a lackadaisical subordinate in front of Mr. Xingdao who would swear allegiance to him even if he was given a little sweetener. However, after experiencing the blatant threats from the Gate of Death, Gu Chen knew that acting like that would be too poor.
Facing a Creator, no matter how deeply you hide your acting skills, there is no point, so Gu Chen chose to be himself.
Lord Xingdao seemed to be very satisfied with Gu Chen's attitude of not taking things seriously, so he stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers.
Suddenly, a beautiful maid came in from outside the main hall holding a jade plate. Inside the jade plate were the armor, token and a storage ring representing the general of Heaven's Punishment.
"The appointment of General Tianpu of Xing County is always very simple. The main purpose of summoning you today is to let you and everyone here get familiar with each other. After all, you will have many opportunities to cooperate in the future."
Xing Daojun said, while speaking, the maid had already brought the jade plate to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen was about to reach out to pick it up, when a senior executive of the film department standing on the right side of the hall spoke.
"My lord, I'm afraid the matter of conferring a title is not urgent at this time. It would be better to solve one problem first."
"It has been many days since His Excellency Emperor Li from the Third Realm came to the Penal Realm with the letter from the Hundred Emperors. For the sake of maintaining stability, we cannot ignore it!"
