Chapter 1275

She was really worried that Gu Chen would not be a match for Emperor Might. Although he had killed Pang Zheng, Pang Zheng was famous because he was young and promising.

However, being young also meant that he was inexperienced, and it was not surprising that he would stumble.

But Emperor Might was different. He had been famous for a long time and was recognized as an ambitious person. Gu Chen might not be able to win.

"Thank you for your reminder. I understand now."

Gu Chen said casually. As they spoke, they had already arrived outside the Divine Punishment Hall!

The Divine Punishment Hall was the place where every Heavenly Law General in Xing Commandery was appointed, and its solemnity and sanctity was evident.

Wu Li didn't dare to take another step forward after arriving outside the Heavenly Punishment Palace. Gu Chen, on the other hand, calmly strolled inside alone!

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

As soon as Gu Chen entered the hall, he immediately felt many eyes on him.

There were already many people standing on both sides of the hall, and on the left were four generals in armor. Their armor was similar to the one worn by Pang Zheng, and they were obviously the other Heavenly Law Generals.

And on the right side of the hall stood Kong Sheng, whom he had met once yesterday. When he saw Gu Chen, he smiled at him.

Beside Kong Sheng stood a few people in black robes with a gloomy aura. Gu Chen could not see their faces clearly, and he could not sense any cultivation base from them. Gu Chen guessed that they were from the Shadow Division.

Gu Chen's eyes swept across the crowd, and his heart sank a little!

He could not see through Kong Sheng yesterday, and he could not see through the experts of the Shadow Division who might be proficient in hiding their aura.

However, he could not see through the cultivation base of any of the four Heavenly Law Generals present.

Everyone present was stronger than Pang Zheng!

Gu Chen secretly estimated that no matter who he fought, he was not sure that he could win.

After stepping into the Emperor Realm, his cultivation base had greatly improved, but he was still too young, and in the face of these ambitious people in the Chaotic Sea, he was too naive!

The view that Gu Chen had in his mind was also the view that everyone in the hall now had of him. In fact, compared to Gu Chen's evaluation of himself, they were much lower.

"This is the kid who killed Pang Zheng? What kind of joke was this? Could it be a mistake? "

A Tian Fa general with a huge broadsword on his back spoke first, not caring that Gu Chen was right in front of him.

"Pang Zheng is too young. It was a mistake to let him become a Tian Fa Great General. Now, I'm afraid that the other forces will think that the Tian Fa Generals of our Xing County are all that weak! "

Another Tian Fa general said coldly. He obviously did not have a good impression of Gu Chen.

Being looked down upon in front of him, Gu Chen knew that if he pretended not to hear it, he would be looked down upon even more.

It was reasonable for Feng Yaya to remind him to be strong enough. In this place where the strong bullied the weak, showing weakness would only lead to worse suppression!

"I didn't expect the Xing County to be filled with such blind fools. No wonder they always lose."

Gu Chen said indifferently. His words caused Kong Sheng, who was standing on the right side of the hall, to laugh out loud. Several black-robed men also raised their heads to look at him with interest.

"What did you say?"

The four Tian Fa Great Generals did not expect Gu Chen to talk back to them. They instantly felt humiliated and shouted angrily.

"Pang Zheng bullied me because I was young. In the end, I killed him. Now that you are looking down on me, do you think you will end up better than him? "

Gu Chen's eyes were cold as he looked at the four Great Generals without backing down.

He was like a crazy and dangerous beast. At this moment, he exuded an extreme killing intent. The four Great Generals' faces turned cold and they were speechless for a moment!

"Good, good! You are indeed young and vigorous, a young hero. "

Suddenly, a round of applause came from outside the hall.

Everyone in the Tian Fa Palace turned to look. Their faces were filled with respect.

Who else in the vast Xing County dared to call him "this king"?

Gu Chen's heart trembled as he turned to look at the entrance of the palace!

A burly man, who was thirty feet tall and clad in heavy armor, strode into the hall with a majestic gait.

If one only looked at his lower body, there was nothing special about him. What was shocking was the area above his neck.

He actually did not have a head!

"Greetings, Your Highness."

The leaders of the three divisions bowed. This undoubtedly explained the identity of the person in front of them.

Gu Chen took a deep breath and bowed slightly to Dao Lord Xing.

He had imagined this Dao Lord's appearance before, but he did not expect that he did not even have a head.

He did not even have a head. Could he still be considered alive?

Was he born like this, or was there some mystery behind it?

Gu Chen's mind was filled with wild thoughts, but he did not show any rudeness on the surface.

"No need to stand on ceremony, everyone."

Dao Lord Xing walked to the throne in the center and sat down. An invisible aura flowed through the entire Tian Fa Palace.

The Tian Fa Palace suddenly quietened down. The quarrels from before disappeared.

"Demon Mountain, Return Sun Marquis, this king knows that the few of you are dissatisfied with this appointment. But publicly provoking Gu Chen in the Tian Fa Palace is not a wise choice."

Dao Lord Xing said indifferently.

These words caused the Tian Fa generals to break out in cold sweat. Not daring to explain, they hurriedly said, "Please forgive us, Your Highness. We know we were wrong!"

Dao Lord Xing had no intention of using this small mistake to punish them. He turned to Gu Chen. "Gu Chen, you are new here. It is inevitable that some people in the world of punishment will doubt you. Don't take it to heart."

His words were much gentler. Compared to the Tian Fa generals, Dao Lord Xing seemed to treat Gu Chen differently. This caused the leaders of the various divisions to fall into deep thought.

"This junior understands. Naturally, I will not bicker with you."

Gu Chen said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. He did not appear to be flattered by Dao Lord Xing's courteous treatment.

Before today, he had thought of pretending to be a simple-minded subordinate in front of Dao Lord Xing, who would pledge his loyalty to him even if he gave him some benefits. However, after experiencing the public threat in the Gate of Dao and Decay, Gu Chen knew that his acting would be too clumsy.

In the face of a master of creation, there was no point in hiding one's acting skills. Thus, Gu Chen chose to be himself.

Dao Lord Xing seemed to be very satisfied with Gu Chen's neutral attitude. He reached out and snapped his fingers.

Immediately, a beautiful maid entered the hall with a jade plate. On the jade plate was the armor, token, and a storage ring that represented the Tian Fa generals.

"The appointment of Tian Fa generals has always been very simple. I have summoned you today to let you and everyone here get to know each other. After all, there will be many opportunities for you to work together in the future."

Dao Lord Xing said. As he spoke, the maid brought the jade plate to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen was just about to reach out to receive it when a senior member of the Intelligence Division standing on the right side of the hall spoke.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid there's no rush to confer the title now. It's better to solve a problem first."
