Chapter 528: Peacemaker
Gu Chen slowly walked out from behind the huge ice, and greeted everyone casually: "Master Xuanchi, Master Xuanqi, Master Xuanjing, Purgatory Venerable, Ghost Sword Venerable, Dragon Spirit Venerable, Yangu Lord, Sect Master Ji, it turns out that everyone is here!
"I've seen Sect Master Gu!" Although everyone knew that Gu Chen had been peeking for a long time, they didn't pierce it, and smiled back at Gu Chen.
Gu Chen suddenly pretended to be surprised and said, "Hey, what are you doing here? Have you forgotten the instructions of Elder Xiao of the Lingxiao Sword Sect? Although we have different factions, we all belong to the human race, why did we fight so much? The Xutian Secret Realm is in full danger, everyone should put aside their prejudices and work together!"
Everyone showed a strange look when they heard this, but Gu Chen moved out of the Lingxiao Sword Sect, and they naturally didn't dare not give face.
"What Sect Master Gu said is extremely true, everything is a misunderstanding, two junior brothers, let them go first!" Master Xuanchi nodded, and then said to Xuan Yi and Xuan Jing.
After hearing this, Xuan Yan and Xuan Jing let go of Lin Yan and Yan Zhen, and then slowly walked back to Master Xuanchi.
Seeing this, Gu Chen couldn't help but smile slightly, and then said to the Purgatory Venerable and the Ghost Sword Venerable: "Two Venerables, you see that the Donkey Kong Temple has this sincerity, should the two of you also express it?"
The Purgatory Venerable and the Ghost Sword Venerable glanced at each other, nodded, and then put away the weapons in their hands and let go of the two elders of the Bodhi Sect.
Although he was released, the Ghost Sword Venerable still said indignantly: "Sect Master Gu, you come to judge the reasoning! The Donkey Kong Temple and the Bodhi Sect are simply too deceitful, not to say that we took those relics, but also to search our bodies, isn't this a clear attempt to find faults? I am also well-known in Kyushu, if the news of being searched is reported, what face will we have in Kyushu in the future?"
"Oh, relics?" Gu Chen said with a pretended surprise.
Master Xuanchi waved his hand and said: "What the Ghost Sword Venerable said is roughly true, but there are also discrepancies, using the Buddha's light to sense the existence of the relics, although it will offend you, but it is also different from body searching, and the relics are really very important, I waited for helplessness to make this decision, not intentionally offended!"
"Hmph!" the Ghost Sword Venerable snorted coldly and said, "What's the difference? Besides, the Great Venerable told you that we didn't take it, but you turned a deaf ear and insisted on slandering us, how can we suffer this humiliation in vain?"
Seeing that the two sides were arguing again, Gu Chen suddenly waved his hand and said loudly: "Everyone, please listen to me!"
"Sect Master Gu has something to say, please say!" Master Xuanchi said to Gu Chen with a gentle expression.
"The three masters and Sect Master Ji are wrong to blame the Shura Palace, that relic was indeed not taken by them!" Gu Chen glanced at Xuanchi, Xuanyi, Xuanjing, and Ji Ming, and said with a serious face.
"Why is Sect Leader Gu so convinced, isn't it intentional to shield them?" Ji Ming glanced at Gu Chen strangely and said.
Gu Chen smiled and said, "Since this seat dares to say it, it is naturally completely certain!"
"Oh, please also ask Sect Master Gu to solve our doubts!" Master Xuanchi folded his hands and said to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen nodded, then pointed to the broken ice wall and said slowly: "Actually, this place was opened by this seat, and the Shura Hall is not the first to come here!"
Master Xuanchi glanced at Gu Chen deeply and said, "So, the relics are in the hands of Sect Master Gu? If so, please also ask Sect Master Gu to return the relics to the Bodhi Sect, and my Buddhism will be grateful!"
"Definitely!" Gu Chen waved his hand and said: "Actually, this seat is not the first to come here, the first one to arrive here is the Bodhi Sect's Ji Ruofeng Gongzi!
"What?" Ji Ming and the two elders of the Bodhi Sect all looked incredulous when they heard this.
The Ghost Sword Venerable said in a strange voice: "It turns out that the Bodhi Sect is a thief shouting to catch a thief!
"Impossible!" A tall and thin old man with white hair and beard from the Bodhi Sect suddenly said, "The old man has already checked it, that ice wall is extremely strong, how can it be possible to open it with the cultivation of the young master and enter this place?"
Gu Chen waved his hand and said, "This seat has already said, that ice wall was opened by this seat, and before this seat, the ice wall was intact! As for how Ji Ruofeng entered this place, this seat is unknown!"
The old man said with a look of disbelief: "What nonsense! I think you deliberately said this to confuse the public when you saw that the young master of my family was missing! I think either you have swallowed the relics privately, or you are protecting the Shura Temple!"
At this time, before Gu Chen could speak, the Venerable Spirit of the Shura Hall scolded loudly: "Presumptuous, even the elders of the Bodhi Sect dare to talk to Sect Master Gu like this?
"I'm sorry, Sect Leader Gu, Elder Zhong didn't say anything in a hurry, he didn't mean to offend, this sect is here to make amends to you on his behalf!" Ji Ming said to Gu Chen.
"It's okay!" Gu Chen waved his hand and said: "That's the truth, this seat is absolutely not false, as for whether you believe it or not, it has nothing to do with this seat!"
Ji Ming bowed his hand to Gu Chen again: "It's not that we don't trust Sect Master Gu, but this matter is really unbelievable, I don't know if Sect Master Gu has a certificate?"
Gu Chen shook his head and said, "There is no evidence, but at that time, Miss Rong Qingya of your Bodhi Sect was here with this seat!"
"That's right, I've also seen Sect Leader Gu and Rong Qingya walking together on the second layer!" Purgatory Venerable and the others all nodded in agreement.
"Ya'er is okay, this is really good!" Ji Ming was overjoyed when she heard this.
At this time, that Elder Zhong leaned into Ji Ming's ear and said: "No, Sect Master, if it is what Gu Chen said, it is really the young master who has obtained the inheritance here, then, at that time, there were only three people, Gu Chen, the young master, and Miss Ya'er, wouldn't Gu Chen have the intention of snatching the treasure? With Gu Chen's strength, I'm afraid that the young master and Miss Ya'er joining forces are not his opponents at all!"
Ji Ming's face changed when he heard this, and then he hurriedly asked Gu Chen, "Sect Master Gu, I don't know where Xiao'er Ruofeng and Xiaotu Qingya are now?"
Gu Chen suddenly hesitated, and after careful consideration, Gu Chen was still ready to tell the whereabouts of Rong Qingya and Ji Ruofeng, otherwise, if he allowed the Shura Palace, the Donkey Kong Temple, and the Bodhi Sect to fight, then the forces of all parties would be too lost, and it would be difficult to deal with the fifth-layer saint-level beasts!
Gu Chen said to Ji Ming, "Gongzi Ji and Miss Rong are currently in the fourth layer of the underground world!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in Donkey Kong Temple suddenly showed a strange look.
Everyone else was surprised.
"The fourth layer, there is a fourth layer in the underground world?" Ji Ming asked Gu Chen with a look of surprise.
Gu Chen nodded and said, "That's right! The senior in the ice coffin is named Yan Xiu, he is a master of the Bodhi Sect who entered the Ruin Heaven Secret Realm more than five hundred years ago, he has lived incredibly in the Ruin Heaven Secret Realm for more than five hundred years, and broke through to the Holy Realm, and he did not pass away until this seat came here! However, before he passed away, he had already handed over all the secrets of his life's inheritance and the underground world to Ji Ruofeng Gongzi, so Ji Ruofeng Gongzi should be the person who knows the underground world best!"
The three members of the Bodhi Sect were overjoyed when they heard this, if this is the case, the Bodhi Sect will take the lead!
The others were even more shocked, there was actually someone who could survive in the Ruin Heaven Secret Realm for five hundred years and even break through to the Holy Realm!
"No wonder this corpse is so intact, it turns out that it was just dead!" said the Purgatory Venerable with a sudden realization.
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but take a closer look at the corpse in the ice coffin, and then they all showed thoughtful expressions.
At this moment, everyone believed Gu Chen's words a little more.
"Amitabha! It turns out that there is such a strange thing in the world! This senior of Yan Xiu is really an immortal material!" Master Xuanchi couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"In that case, let's leave quickly, don't disturb the rest of Yan Xiu's predecessors here!" Master Xuanjing said suddenly.
"Let's go!" The Purgatory Venerable took the lead in the layman, and the Ghost Sword Venerable, the Spirit Venerable, the Poison Shura Lin Yan, and the Yan Shura Yan Yan hurriedly followed, and everyone did not stop them.
Subsequently, Yan Wuji, Mrs. Yan, Yan Que, and Ye Qi of the Burning Sky Valley also slowly walked outside, and when they passed by Gu Chen's side, Yan Wuji also nodded to Gu Chen.
"Sect Master Ji, Lao Qu and the others are waiting outside, after all, Senior Yan Xiu is a member of your Bodhi Sect, so I'll leave it to you here to deal with the aftermath!" Master Xuanchi folded his hands and said to Ji Ming.
Ji Ming bowed to the people of Donkey Kong Temple and said, "Thank you masters for your help, please wait outside for a while, I will come out after settling the body of Yan Xiu's predecessors!"
Master Xuanchi nodded, and then led the people of Donkey Kong Temple to turn around and leave.
"Sect Master Gu, thank you for informing Xiao'er and the apprentice of their whereabouts, and for resolving this conflict, this sect is grateful!" Ji Ming thanked Gu Chen again.
Gu Chen waved his hand and said, "Oh, by the way, this stone man is a friend of Yan Xiu's predecessor before his death, so please let Sect Master Ji let him stay here to be the companion of Yan Xiu's senior!"
"Oh?" Ji Ming first glanced at the stone man's corpse curiously, then nodded to Gu Chen, and said, "Sect Master Gu, don't worry, we will bury it alive!"
Gu Chen nodded, and then went outside.
After walking out of the Ice Palace, Gu Chen found that the people from the Shura Palace, the Donkey Kong Temple, and the Burning Sky Valley had not left, and they were all waiting here.
"Sect Master Gu!" Seeing Gu Chen come out, everyone gathered around intentionally or unintentionally, all of them greeted Gu Chen with a smile on their faces.
Gu Chen had expected this, knowing that they must be trying to inquire about the path to the fourth layer of the underground world.
"What are you doing?" Gu Chen smiled slightly, and asked knowingly.
"Sect Master Gu, thank you for speaking up and speaking for us!" the Purgatory Venerable bowed to Gu Chen.
"Purgatory Venerable is polite, this seat is just telling the truth, and besides, this seat doesn't want to see everyone kill each other and consume strength for this little thing!" Gu Chen replied with a smile.
Mrs. Yan whispered in Yan Wuji's ear: "This kid is really pretending, to put it bluntly, he doesn't want to keep the ally of the Shura Palace? If it is the Buddha Gate that falls into the disadvantage, I don't think he will stand up, he can't wait for the Shura Hall to kill the Buddha Gate cleanly!"
Yan Wuji's expression was straight, and he said to Mrs. Yan: "Madame, don't say anything, Sect Master Gu also has a great favor to me in Burning Heaven Valley, how can we slander him behind my back?"
Mrs. Yan said disapprehantly: "Didn't you give him all those Blue Star Diamonds? Since he has gained so much benefit, why do you keep thinking about his kindness? Maybe he was going for the Blue Star Drill in the first place! If it weren't for those Blue Star Diamonds, he wouldn't have bothered to care about the life or death of our Burning Sky Valley!"
