Chapter 39: The Challenge

Gu Chen returned to Juxian Tower again, and the news of his efforts to slay the Ten Dao Realms had spread all over Hao City, and even spread to the land of the Divine Capital not far away.

On this day, Luo Xueying brought two people to see Gu Chen.

"Gu Daoyou, you have already alarmed the royal family by killing ten Dao Realms, and these two are envoys sent by the Empire. Luo Xueying said.

"Imperial envoy, what is the matter with me, is the imperial family going to meddle in the affairs of me and the Wu family?" asked Gu Chen suspiciously.

"This ancient dust fellow, we are the imperial worship, and your recent combat power has alarmed the imperial court, Huaxia has always paid attention to talents, and the royal family favors your talent, and wants to crown you with an official position. ”

"I am unrestrained, a person with no talent and no virtue, I am used to being idle, and this official position is unbearable, but I am afraid that I will not be able to be sealed. Gu Chen declined the messenger.

"Guchen Daoyou thinks that it is rare for a young and promising young man like you, since you are unwilling to be an official, the saint pays attention to talents, so he specially said, you are not an official, you can also be like us, become my Huaxia worship, provide a mansion to support Qing Xiu, you only have one more imperial worship status, enjoy some resources and are not restricted by the emperor's order. ”

"Oh?" Gu Chen hesitated for a moment, not knowing what was wrong with it, and was about to refuse, but Luo Xueying hurriedly came out and said:

"This question has not yet been thought out by the ancient Taoist friends, the envoy can go back first, and come back in a few days, whether it is to make offerings or to be an official, there will definitely be a satisfactory answer. ”

"That's so good, then I'll go back to my life first, and, Guchen Daoyou, the Wu family is not without a peerless existence in the Dao realm, it's just that the imperial court is helping to dredge your hatred, and you have to be more careful." ”

Luo Xueying sent away the imperial envoy and came back and asked:

"Gu Daoyou, since you are unwilling to be an official, why don't you want to be a court worship?"

"I don't want to be involved too much with the imperial court, in the future, if I get into a deep fight, it will be intrigue and intrigue, which will inevitably affect my cultivation, wouldn't I feel comfortable being as idle as me?" Gu Chen replied.

"Gu Daoyou, you say so, but you can't ignore the Wu family, although the Wu family can't send masters to kill you for a while, but it doesn't necessarily mean that they won't use other methods, in fact, this time the court can recruit you, it can be regarded as cherishing talents, and there is also the intention of suppressing the Wu family, if you are an official, you also serve the empire, at least the Wu family will not dare to act rashly against you on the face, the empire has considered the respect for talents, and knows that many geniuses do not like to be restrained, so they have left a way back for you, so that you can become an enshrinement and enjoy the royal resources, although this is not a big right, but the Wu family will also see that you are the court worship, and they are afraid of you。 After Luo Xueying finished speaking, she looked at Gu Chen and continued:

"Gu Daoyou, you must know that the court worship of the Chinese Empire in this dynasty is not enjoyed by ordinary people, and you are already despising the imperial court by doing so, but I am afraid that you will also offend the royal family, and at that time, the Wu family and the royal family will not be able to compete with the power of your Dao realm. ”

"Brother Gu, you have to think twice about Sister Snow Shadow's words. Xue Wu also persuaded.

Gu Chen asked Luo Xueying to roughly say the position enshrined in the imperial court, just like the wizards of the Great Zhou Empire's Qishi Mansion, they were raised by the empire with some resources, and they usually did not restrict their freedom, I would not be involved in the secret battle of the imperial court, but at the critical moment in China, I must stand up and maintain the honor of the empire.

"Gu Daoyou, you have studied the ancient civilization of China deeply, since you are interested in this, if you become an imperial worshipper, then the books in the palace are only afraid that they will be very helpful to you. Luo Xueying said.

In fact, Gu Chen also likes this ancient empire, but he is tired of court battles, since he is not bound by the court worship, he can accept it, and more importantly, the books in the palace will help him to find the traces of the peerless demon god.

After Gu Chen became famous in the first battle, many people came to challenge during the period, all of them were some heroes of the city, and their cultivation was extraordinary, but Gu Chen was too lazy to pay attention to it, and they all refused one by one, and finally, in his annoying challenge, he waited for the imperial court envoy, in order to avoid the troubles as soon as possible, he gladly accepted to become the imperial court.

Seven days later, Guchen was registered as an enshrinement in the imperial court, and it was also given a mansion in the divine capital.

Shendu, bordering the city, connected into a piece, in the depths of a secluded mountain in the Shendu, there are countless mansions and pavilions hidden, which are pure and free, it is the place where the imperial court worships the seclusion, and outsiders are not allowed to enter.

Gu Chen's mansion is at the back, backed by the mountain, it seems that it has just been established, and Gu Chen is happy to live in it.

However, the day after he checked in, someone came to knock on the door and shouted:

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, new, come out for me, come out and invite me to drink!" Gu Chen was so annoyed that he had a headache, he came to this worship mansion to be quiet for a while, who would have thought that he would be harassed again the next day!

He got up and went out, opened the door of the house, and wanted to have a seizure, but saw that it was an acquaintance, an old man with a red nose!

"Old man, why are you!" Gu Chen said in surprise.

"Little brother, you and I are really destined, I didn't expect you to become a person from this worship mansion, I am next door to you, we can be regarded as companions in the future, we haven't seen each other for so long, you still don't invite me in for a drink?" said the red-nosed old man excitedly.

"Old immortal, I just happen to have some fine wine here, just drink it and come in. "The red-nosed old man has saved himself several times, and Gu Chen is still somewhat grateful to him.

Gu Chen took some wine and drank wildly with the red-nosed old man in the courtyard, the wine refined by the elixir of heaven and earth was compressed and was extremely violent, Gu Chen and the red-nosed old man drank fiercely again, and soon had some drunkenness, the red-nosed old man staggered after being drunk, wandering around in Gu Chen's mansion, saying this for a while and saying that it was good, what to say is the same as worship, why is the court so eccentric, Gu Chen has a complete range of items, and what he gives himself is the four walls of the family, and the treatment is very bad, Gu Chen took down the enlightenment map of Wu Daozi, who the old man with the red nose had been staring at on the wall, and said:

"Take it if you want, old man. ”

"No, no, no, I can't ask for your things, I'm going to settle accounts with that kid, why is my worship mansion surrounded by walls, while others have everything!"

At this time, I saw a guard trotting in the distance, with a war letter in his hand, and stepped forward to bow to Gu Chen:

"Master Gu, this is the challenge book of Dao Zhen, a disciple of the Sword Immortal Sect, I don't know if you will accept it?"

Gu Chen wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, the person who could send the challenge book into the worship mansion must have some ability, and the Sword Immortal Sect was good at flying swords, so he also wanted to see the power of it.

"I took it. Gu Chen picked up the challenge book, which was written outside Zixiao City, and asked Gu Chen to go to the appointment in three days.

Three days later, Gu Chen came to Zixiao City to make an appointment, at this time, outside Zixiao City, many cultivators had gathered to watch, that Dao Zhen seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, his white clothes fluttering, like a god descending to earth, standing on a boulder, said to Gu Chen:

"Below is the Sword Immortal Sect, the second elder and the chief disciple of the Sanliu Daoren, Dao Zhen, I heard that the ancient Daoist is full of swordsmanship, and he slashed the ten realms, so he specially came to ask for advice. ”

"In Xia Guchen, I am also very yearning for the swordsmanship of the Sword Immortal School, and I came to the appointment today just to open my eyes. ”

"Okay, then we'll fight!"

Dao Zhen didn't say much, a flying sword flew out directly from the palm of his hand, and Gu Chen's dripping sword technique turned into thousands of sword rain and overwhelmed the sky, but what was surprising was that the flying sword flew in, skillfully dodging, and was able to shuttle through the cracks of the sword rain, which made Gu Chen not surprised! The flying sword technique that Dao Zhen's divine sense was super controlled was so fine that even Gu Chen was beyond the reach of it.

The flying sword shuttled quickly in the sword rain, and it only took a few breaths to pass through the heavy sword rain, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at Gu Chen's throat!

"Dang!" There was a crisp sound, and at the moment when the flying sword was about to pierce Gu Chen's throat, it was blocked by a sword light gathered by Gu Chen, which was a big sword conjured up by the dripping sword technique, and it blocked Dao Zhen's flying sword.

The flying sword missed, and quickly flew back, Dao Zhen put away the flying sword and said:

"Gu Daoyou's swordsmanship is superb, and it's really powerful. ”

"The Sword Immortal Sect's sword skills are not bad!" Gu Chen said.

"Gu Daoyou, my sword is a sword that can kill many Dao Realm powerhouses, you can block it, it's really amazing! It seems that the battle of your Ten Dao Realms is not a rumor. Dao Zhen said.

"Then dare to ask Daoyou, you are pointing at your throat, what does it have to do with the Wu family!"

"Gu Daoyou, in today's battle, I am willing to bow down, you can dodge my flying sword, I admire you very much, I don't have much to do with the Wu family, it's just that the flying sword in my palm is refined by the Wu family, since I am no longer your opponent, then I will also leave." After he finished speaking, he flew straight away.

Gu Chen never let go of the enemy who wanted to kill him, but he didn't chase after Dao Zhen, he didn't hate Dao Zhen, he was just forced to come and pay off the Wu family's kindness out of desperation, and the speed of the flying sword, he also saw it in his eyes, if it wasn't for the last moment when the flying sword suddenly slowed down by three points, giving himself the opportunity to gather the sword to resist, I was afraid that he would be a dead soul under the knife at this moment.

"It seems that among the younger generation in this divine capital, his own strength is still far behind!" Gu Chen sighed.

After this battle, Gu Chen will become famous again, and in this southern capital of China, it will inevitably cause a lot of controversy.

"Alas, that's the end of it, I thought it was some kind of earth-shattering battle!"

"That's not the case, they are not a battle of life and death, and when it comes to the decisive battle of the masters, it is a move to determine the winner, like this pride of the sky in front of everyone, no matter who loses, they will feel that they have lost face, so they have withdrawn their magical powers when they are unable to hold each other. ”

"That's right! Their battle was just a test of each other's strength......

The crowd was all talking about this battle, but Gu Chen had been watching a few Quasi-Dao Realm powerhouses leave, and he flew to a secluded place to appear!

"It's him, run, it's Gu Chen......" Several people panicked, so frightened that they lost their souls and fled in all directions.

Gu Chen sneered, since the people of the Wu family wanted to invite Dao Zhen to kill him, then he should kill the people of the Wu family if he met them!

The sword flashed, and none of them survived.
