Chapter 304

It was this man who killed his grandfather, caused his grandmother to die in regret, and caused his father's whereabouts to be unknown!

He used the most despicable means to snatch away everything from the Gu Clan and even tried to make the three generations of the Gu Clan become the bone retainers of the Huangfu Clan!

He single-handedly created the calamity of the Feng Lin Manor, causing 655,555 innocent people to die in vain. He couldn't even return to his home and could only flee for his life!

Gu Chen was very clear that as long as this man didn't die, the heavy shackles that bound the Gu Clan and himself would never be able to be severed!

Looking at that repulsive face, Gu Chen did his best to suppress the surging emotions in his heart and eventually became expressionless.

Rage and impulsiveness were meaningless. Only calmness and rationality could help him take revenge.

The groups that came out from the east, west, north, and south gates gradually gathered together and finally stopped in the center of the plaza.

Gu Chen and Huangfu Wuji were less than 655 zhang away from each other. He was chatting idly with the officials and didn't seem to notice Gu Chen's existence.

Huangfu Qingming was standing beside him. This was a young man with a peerless appearance and was even more handsome than a woman.

There was also a strange green bull beside him. At this moment, its eyes were closed as if it was completely uninterested in everything around it.

Behind this grandfather-grandson pair were the other members of the Huangfu Clan. Huangfu De, whom Gu Chen had met before, was among them.

Huangfu Qingming was a third generation descendant, but he was the closest to Huangfu Wuji. This was enough to prove that his status in the Huangfu Clan was special.

Many officials of the Middle-Earth Continent also took the initiative to speak to him, wanting to curry favor with this genius who was about to become the Emperor's son-in-law.

Gu Chen expressionlessly observed all the members of the Huangfu Clan. Be it Huangfu Wuji, his four sons, or his grandchildren, he remembered all of their faces.

To him, these people were going to die sooner or later.

"Abbot Puji, Prophet Jiang, long time no see."

Not far away from Gu Chen, Shen Xudong smiled and chatted with an old monk and a white-bearded old man.

These three people gathered together and attracted the gazes of countless people.

There was no other reason. These three people represented the highest achievements of the Confucian, Buddhist, and Life sects in the Middle-Earth Empire.

Puji was the abbot of the White Horse Temple, a famous holy monk.

Jiang Zishang, on the other hand, was the most respected fortune teller on the continent. The Jiang family he belonged to had inherited the art of astrology for generations. Every generation's leader was revered as a prophet by the world.

The two leaders of the School of Buddhism and the School of Fate also brought their young juniors with them. Among them, there was a sickly, scholarly young man from the School of Fate who was especially eye-catching.

When the leaders and officials of the various powers arrived, the members of the Central Plains royal family arrived as well!

With the current emperor of the empire, Ji Yanghong, in the lead, a group of members of the imperial family stepped into the square. The civil and military officials in the court all knelt down and saluted.

"Long live the Emperor!"

Most of the people in the square had knelt down. Even the people of the nine states who were watching the ceremony through the Water Mirror Stone knelt down.

On the square, there were only the leaders of the three families, the various sacred grounds and sects, Huangfu Wuji, Huangfu Qingming, and Gu Chen!

The leaders of the three families were highly respected, and Shen Xudong was the State Preceptor, so he enjoyed special treatment and didn't have to kneel before the Emperor.

The various sacred grounds and sects were powerful and were like feudal lords in the nine states. The royal family had always only required them to salute and didn't have to kneel.

As for the grandfather and grandson of the Huangfu family, one was the famous God of War, and the other was the pride of the nine states and the future Emperor's son-in-law. With their special identities, they were naturally an exception.

Other than them, the other members of the Huangfu family and the young juniors brought by the various powers all had to kneel without exception.

Gu Chen was dressed in the white robe of the Celestial Court's Daoist. He stood there calmly and was especially eye-catching.

"Everyone, please rise."

Emperor Yang Hong smiled and glanced at the crowd. When he noticed Gu Chen, he frowned slightly.

This person looked so young. Who was he?

Why didn't he kneel before the Emperor?

Emperor Yang Hong's subtle expression fell into the eyes of the officials. They all turned their heads and looked at Gu Chen in shock.

"Who is that? How dare he not kneel in front of His Majesty! "

"He seems to be brought by Imperial Preceptor Shen. He should be a junior of the Shen family, right?"

The crowd whispered. Although Gu Chen's name had shaken the nine states not long ago, not many people had seen his appearance. Thus, he attracted criticism!

"How rude. Why aren't you kneeling before His Majesty?"

Huangfu Wuji suddenly spoke. His tone seemed calm, but there was a formless domineering might that rushed towards Gu Chen!

That was the aura of someone in a superior position. Huangfu Wuji was only below one person and above tens of thousands. Furthermore, he possessed the Tyrannical Firmament Bone. A casual word from him was law. Ordinary people wouldn't even have the thought of resisting!

However, Gu Chen's expression didn't change. The Tyrannical Firmament Bone in his body released a faint aura that engulfed his entire body. Immediately, Huangfu Wuji's might no longer had any effect on him!

"I'm not from the central plains, so I naturally won't kneel to the emperor."

Gu Chen glanced at Huangfu Wuji coldly and said casually.

The moment these words were spoken, it was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples. Many officials were filled with righteous indignation.

"Impudent! Who is this person? How dare he be so audacious! "

"Today is the Heavenly Worship Ceremony. We can't allow this brat to behave atrociously!"

At this time, Crown Prince Ji Zefang, who was standing beside Emperor Yang Hong, hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a few words into Emperor Yang Hong's ear.

When Emperor Yang Hong heard this, he looked at Gu Chen in shock.

"You're saying that this person is the Chen Gu who triggered the Stars in Daytime?"

Gu Chen was currently in a disguise, so his appearance was extremely mediocre. Emperor Yang Hong's first impression was that a genius who could trigger the Stars in Daytime must be extraordinarily handsome. Thus, he was extremely surprised.

The Crown Prince nodded his head in confirmation.

The Emperor's voice wasn't soft. When the officials heard that the rude brat was the Daoist of the Celestial Court whose name had shaken the nine states recently, they were still extremely indignant. But now, they all became mute.

"This person is the Daoist of the Celestial Court, Chen Gu? Why does he look so mediocre? "

"Damn it, I spoke too hastily just now and offended someone!"

Many of the officials were filled with regret.

These days, there were simply too many rumors about this Chen Gu. Triggering the Stars in Daytime was an unprecedented spectacle!

As long as this person didn't die prematurely, his future achievements would be limitless!

As the Daoist of the Celestial Court, he was the future successor of the Heaven Emperor. The Celestial Court's organization was spread across the entire continent and wasn't restricted by the Middle Earth. Naturally, there was no need for him to kneel and greet the Emperor!

Because Huangfu Wuji was the first to berate him, the officials subconsciously retorted, but they didn't expect to kick an iron plate.

"Does Lord Huangfu not know who this person is? He seemed to be intentionally targeting him … "

The officials secretly pondered. If Huangfu Wuji hadn't spoken first, they wouldn't have rallied to attack him.

The atmosphere in the square was a little strange. Gu Chen didn't even look at Emperor Yang Hong and only stared at Huangfu Wuji.

Huangfu Wuji's red eyes didn't waver at all, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a cold smile.
