Chapter 1264: Chapter 230: An Unexpected Encounter in the Holy Realm_2

"What fate?" Blood Jade sneered, her nature making it impossible for her to yield, even going as far to say, "I heard about a disciple of yours, Zhang Ling, who was crippled by someone, and not long ago, during the selection battle, didn’t your Ten Thousand Stars Palace, in alliance with the Golden Roc Clan and Jiuxiao Hall, try to recover your honor, only to be completely defeated?"

Clearly, Gu Chen’s actions in the selection battle had spread, concerning immortal-level sects and the top ten clans. It was difficult to conceal the involvement of the three major forces.

"This woman is truly bold, with such a fiery character! Even now, instead of thinking about how to escape, she dares to point out the sore spots of the Ten Thousand Stars Palace. Impressive!" A cultivator sighed privately, not daring to speak openly due to the influence of the Ten Thousand Stars Palace.

"You are truly courting death!" The disciple from the Ten Thousand Stars Palace said with a darkened face as surging aura enveloped him, signaling he was an early-stage Unity Realm expert.

"Thinking of making a move? I’m ready for it!" Blood Jade’s expression hardened. Although she was only at the Huanxu Realm, her nature was such that she would rather break than bend.

Even facing immortal-level sects and the top ten great clans, she dared to confront them directly, not hesitating to fight.

Otherwise, as a woman, if she compromised, surrendered the treasure, and yielded this time, who knows what more excessive demands they might make next time.

Since yielding wouldn’t stop the conflict, she might as well fight with all her might, taking a bite out of her adversary!

This was Blood Jade’s thought, secretly readying the congenital spiritual treasure her father had prepared for her at all times.

"Over two years have passed, and you still have the same temperament," a light laughter suddenly arose from the crowd, cutting through the tense atmosphere.

"Who?!" The members of the Ten Thousand Stars Palace and the Unrestrained Sect shouted coldly, their gazes turning towards a certain spot.

There, a tall figure in black robes appeared, a young man with black hair cascading down his waist, his body robust and radiant, emitting a bright glow from his skin, looking quite extraordinary and full of martial valor!

This young man was naturally Gu Chen.

"I advise you not to meddle in other people’s business!" the leading man from the Ten Thousand Stars Palace said, furrowing his brows as he felt that he couldn’t completely see through Gu Chen.

After all, the current Sacred Realm was teeming with heroes, and it wasn’t certain which unremarkable person might possess extraordinary abilities. He wasn’t the chief of the Ten Thousand Stars Palace and couldn’t act recklessly, so he was somewhat cautious upon meeting a stranger.

"Who are you?"

At that moment, even Blood Jade was somewhat confused, not knowing who this ethereal and extraordinary man, who dared to speak up for her, was.

She also felt that this person might have a significant background, considering that so many renowned cultivators around didn’t dare to speak out.

"You may not remember me, but I remember you. I’ve never had the chance to repay a past kindness, but now, the opportunity has come," Gu Chen said with a smile, his expression gentle, making Blood Jade unconsciously feel a wave of goodwill.

"You..." For a moment, Blood Jade felt that the person in front of her seemed vaguely familiar, but she was certain that she had never met this robust, exceptional young man.

"Where do you come from, what’s your name, and what is your clan? This is a matter of the Ten Thousand Stars Palace; do you intend to forcibly interfere? You should know that the chief is not far away!" the people of the Ten Thousand Stars Palace coldly threatened Gu Chen.

"The chief of the Ten Thousand Stars Palace is nearby?!" Upon hearing this, the surrounding cultivators also trembled inside.

"Our Unrestrained Sect’s senior brother is also here. I advise you better not to meddle in these muddy waters, just mind your own business!" the two from the Unrestrained Sect also spoke up.

"Indeed, those who are with the Ten Thousand Stars Palace are all of a kind." Gu Chen glanced at the six people, showing no concern at all, as if observing clowns.

Seeing this, the six from the Ten Thousand Stars Palace and the Unrestrained Sect’s expressions darkened, feeling humiliated.

At that moment, a gleam of light flashed through the blood jade’s beautiful eyes; memories hidden deep in her mind were unlocked, and she began to recall some things.

Mainly, it was Gu Chen’s manner of doing things, coupled with his earlier words, that made her feel a sense of familiarity.

Years ago, there had been a man who provided her with an unprecedented, strange feeling.

Suddenly, the blood jade blurted out, "Is it you?!"

"Naturally, it is I." Gu Chen replied with a smile and a nod.

In that instant, when she saw Gu Chen admit his identity, blood jade’s face lit up with surprise and even ignored the presence of Ten Thousand Stars Palace and Unrestrained Sect; she teleported in a flash, hurling herself close to Gu Chen.

Her beautiful eyes were bright as if filled with twinkling little stars, constantly blinking as she sized up Gu Chen, who was now right before her eyes.

She had thought that they would never meet again after their last farewell; she often wondered what had become of Gu Chen afterwards.

When she first heard news of Gu Chen one day, it indeed gave her quite a shock.

Although blood jade had a high regard for Gu Chen, she had not expected that the man could achieve such a step and become famous all over the world!

"Since our parting years ago, Miss Blood Jade’s kindness has always been etched in my heart," said Gu Chen.

The onlookers, realizing this, could tell that the two indeed had a history together.

"This mysterious man is truly extraordinary, and his words suggest he fears neither Ten Thousand Stars Palace nor Unrestrained Sect. Could he possibly be a descendant of some hidden sect from the previous era, or perhaps an heir of the last era’s supreme celestial beings?!" a monk thought with a shocked expression.

"Would you dare not to reveal your name?" pressed the representatives from Ten Thousand Stars Palace and Unrestrained Sect.

The leader of Ten Thousand Stars Palace and the elder brother of the Unrestrained Sect were indeed not far from this location, and they had already sent messages; so their worries were significantly alleviated.

"Who am I? The person you fear the most!" Gu Chen suddenly turned around, his eyes dazzling as they fixed upon the four people from Ten Thousand Stars Palace.

At that moment, the brilliance in Gu Chen’s eyes danced between heaven and earth, the blinding light causing the six individuals from Ten Thousand Stars Palace and Unrestrained Sect to squint slightly.

Hearing these words, the man leading Ten Thousand Stars Palace was taken aback and exclaimed, "Are you Gu Bai?!"

"Gu Bai, is he the invincible Gu Bai?!"

With these words, the surrounding monks also recognized Gu Chen.

After all, whether it was being invincible in a hundred domains, defeating Great Powers single-handedly, or recently during the selection battles, defeating the strongest forces from Ten Thousand Stars Palace, the Golden Roc Clan, and three other top factions had all been explosive news.

Especially the last event, which had happened not long ago and had just started to spread throughout the Holy Realm.

But at this moment, Gu Chen actually denied it, shaking his head with a resolute voice, he uttered five words to answer everyone.

"No, I am Gu Chen!"
