Chapter 123

They had not gone far and had been eavesdropping outside the courtyard.

Xiao Que was the first to approach, her face full of anxiety. "Brother Gu, we've heard from Fatty that Senior Sister Lu is deeply in love with me. I want to save her too!"

"That's right, Brother Gu. The Divine Creation Pavilion is a place filled with danger. It's too risky for you to go alone. We've all entered the Divine Realm. Why don't we go with you?"

Zhao Rou asked expectantly.

The seven girls had already learned of Gu Chen's plan from Fatty. That was why they guessed that the plan was about to begin when he came today.

The Underworld God Palace was also their enemy. They wanted revenge as well. Moreover, they had relied on Gu Chen for so long. They felt guilty and wanted to help him.

To them, it was time to repay his kindness.

Gu Chen looked at the seven girls' fervent gazes and slowly shook his head.

"You're not strong enough."

"We've already entered the Divine Realm. Brother Gu, don't worry. We won't drag you down!"

The girl called Ji Hongying pursed her lips.

"So what if you're in the Divine Realm? Far from enough! "

Gu Chen's tone was cold and resolute.

The seven girls immediately stopped talking, feeling wronged.

"Brother Gu, we just don't want to be parasites. We want to help you. Our elders, family, and friends have all died because of the Underworld God Palace. We want to kill our enemies with our own hands! "

Xiao Que said stubbornly.

Gu Chen was silent.

Ever since he had saved the seven girls, he had wanted to arrange a smoother path for them. However, looking at their eyes, he suddenly realized that he was wrong.

He had no right to decide anyone's life, nor could he force a so-called peaceful life on these girls because of his guilt.

Their desire for revenge was not much weaker than his. Stopping them would only backfire.

Thus, his tone softened.

"This operation was initiated by the Celestial Court. To be honest, I don't even know if I'll be able to join the team. You're not even members of the Celestial Court, so it's even more inconvenient for you to join.

"If you really want to help, work hard on your cultivation. At the very least, everyone has to reach divine-tier. At that time, I will arrange for you to join the Heavenly Star Sect. If you are really determined, it won't be too late to recommend you to join the Celestial Court. "

Gu Chen gave his promise. The seven girls looked at each other and finally compromised. "Got it, Brother Gu."

"Alright, since I still have time today, I'll test your cultivation."

Gu Chen smiled to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"No way! Big Brother Gu, we just talked back to each other. Don't tell me you want to take revenge on us? "

Xiao Que immediately pulled a long face. Gu Chen would occasionally guide them in their cultivation, but he was not gentle at all.

"Xiao Que, don't talk nonsense. Big Brother Gu would never do that."

Zhao Rou immediately spoke up for Gu Chen.

"Tsk, Xiaorou, you have no right to speak. When did you not side with Brother Gu?"

"Ya, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Zhao Rou instantly blushed. The group of girls laughed and the heavy atmosphere from before dissipated quite a bit.

"Alright, who wants to go first?"

Gu Chen chuckled. Just when he was about to start guiding them, the Star Moon Bracelet on his wrist suddenly flashed with a green light!

Gu Chen was excited. He had not accepted any missions recently, so this must be a notification from the Green Qilin Killing God!

He scanned inside with his divine sense and immediately connected to the Celestial Court's Skynet through the Star Moon Bracelet. He received a message.

"Gather at the branch tomorrow before midnight!"

The message left behind by the Green Qilin Killing God was very short, but it made Gu Chen take a deep breath.

"Finally, it's here!"

…

The Divine Gate shone brightly. In a white robe, the tall and slender Gu Chen appeared in the branch's secret realm.

He wore a bronze mask. Once he entered the branch, he strode towards the square that was paved with white marble.

There were many people gathered at the square that night. At a glance, they were either gold-level or silver-level assassins.

This made the bronze-level assassins who happened to pass by tremble. The Celestial Court's branch in Baijing Prefecture was not a big branch. It was rare for so many important people to appear at the same time.

From the looks of it, something big was about to happen!

Many of the bronze-level assassins felt that something was wrong. They intentionally avoided the square, not daring to provoke the group of high-level assassins.

However, Gu Chen was different. He stepped into the square directly and stood aside, waiting quietly.

"This is indeed extraordinary. It seems like the Celestial Court is determined to destroy the God Creator Pavilion."

The Green Qilin Killing God had not arrived yet. Gu Chen looked at the many assassins in the square and could not help but feel excited.

At that moment, there were a total of eight gold-level assassins and a hundred silver-level assassins. The lineup was extremely luxurious!

One must know that each gold-level assassin's ability was equivalent to that of an immortal-level king. They were powerhouses anywhere on the continent.

In the Eastern Barren Territory, any one of these Kings was enough to sweep through the entire region.

At that moment, there were a total of eight of them!

In addition to the hundred silver-level assassins who were at least on Nirvana-Level, such a force could destroy the entire Baijing Prefecture in an instant!

The Celestial Court was indeed one of the three underground organizations on the continent. They could mobilize such a huge combat strength in such a short period of time.

With such a large combat strength, Gu Chen believed that the Man with a Bamboo Hat would definitely die this time!

"Chen Gu, is that you?"

While Gu Chen was thinking, two gold-level assassins suddenly walked towards him. The voice of the leader was extremely familiar.

"Senior Yang?"

Gu Chen was stunned. He immediately recognized that the voice belonged to Yang Zhui, the senior who was in charge of assessing him when he first joined the Celestial Court.

The Dust Shield Bracelet that he was wearing was a gift from him.

"It's really you. I find your silhouette familiar. My eyesight is really good, haha."

Yang Zhui immediately laughed. He could recognize Gu Chen through the mask. His eyesight was indeed impressive.

"Brother, who is he?"

The other gold-level assassin beside Yang Zhui asked curiously. Her voice was very crisp, and it was obvious that she was a young woman.

"He's the other examinee that I mentioned during the assessment not long ago."

Yang Zhui hinted vaguely.

Yang Zhen suddenly realized. "Oh, so he's the young man that you felt was a pity."

Yang Zhen looked Gu Chen up and down for a while, but she couldn't help but feel disappointed.

He did not look special at all.

It made sense. If he was special enough, he would not have failed to become a Quasi-Daoist.

Geniuses like Xu Huahua were extremely rare after all.

"Greetings, seniors."

Gu Chen said politely.

"You're welcome."

Yang Zhui smiled. He already had a good impression of Gu Chen during the assessment.

"Why are you here? Didn't you notice the unusual atmosphere here tonight? "

Yang Zhui asked with concern.

The entire square was filled with gold-level assassins and silver-level assassins. Only Gu Chen, a bronze-level assassin, stood out.

Because of this, Yang Zhui noticed him.

The upcoming operation tonight was of great importance. When he saw Gu Chen barging in like a fool, he could not help but remind him out of goodwill.
