Chapter 527

Gu Chen looked at the cultivators who were criticizing him. He looked at the direct disciples of the immortal sects who were friendly before but now treated him coldly. He finally understood what it meant to be a fickle world.

"Frined Gu, what else do you have to say? No, your surname isn't Gu at all. I don't even know what your real name is. "

Xiao Jing looked at Gu Chen with a smile, his face full of mockery.

"My surname is indeed Gu. Believe it or not, it's up to you!"

Gu Chen's lips curled into a disdainful smile.

Seeing that Gu Chen didn't know what was good for him after being exposed, all the cultivators became even more indignant.

Xiao Jing saw that he was stubborn and said slowly. "Actually, it's very simple to prove that you're from the Gu clan. Just show us your Overbearing Firmament Bone."

"That's right, that's right! The Gu clan's powers are earth-shattering. Show us what you're made of! "

"Hey, didn't you say your surname is Gu? Show us your Overbearing Firmament Bone! "

Everyone jeered. Gu Chen's expression turned as cold as ice.

The Overbearing Firmament Bone in his body was now full of cracks. He couldn't use any of its powers at all. Plus, why did he have to prove himself just because someone asked him to?

His surname was indeed Gu. It had been since he was born!

"Why aren't you moving? Seems like it's very obvious. "

Xiao Jing laughed loudly. The direct disciples of the immortal sects were also gloomy. Just a moment ago, they were debating with this person. Now that they thought about it, it was a great irony.

"As a person, the most important thing is to know your place. Don't covet what you don't have. You can't even fake an identity. What right do you have to take part in this banquet? "

He said disdainfully. As soon as he said this, many lackeys jeered.

"That's right! Fake, get out of Mount Penglai! "

"Don't tarnish this place. This is not a place you can stay!"

The crowd was excited and the public opinion was turbulent. All of them were poking at Gu Chen's spine.

"Roar —"

This was too much. Gu Chen could still keep his cool, but White Ape couldn't!

Its harmless appearance suddenly changed. It opened its mouth and let out a deafening roar!

Its roar was like thunder, instantly suppressing the voices of all the cultivators present. From its body, a wild and ferocious aura rippled out!

If it weren't for Gu Chen telling it to stay put, it would have already enlarged and trampled all the cultivators here to death!

"What's wrong? Are you angry out of humiliation? Do you want to fight?"

Xiao Jing looked at Gu Chen mockingly, his evaluation of White Ape's strength rising a little in his heart.

Gu Chen looked at the crowd coldly. He knew that he couldn't act rashly.

This was the Immortal Spirit Continent, not the Kunlun Continent. There were many people stronger than him here. He could not afford to be hot-headed and ignore the consequences.

Xiao Jing and the others were true disciples of the 68 Celestial Sects. Many experts who had surpassed the Celestial Tier were willing to fight for them.

Right now, the best way to resolve this matter was to prove his identity, and Gu Chen was a direct descendant of the Gu Clan, so there was no doubt about his identity.

However, he was in an awkward situation. He couldn't use the Heavenly Overbearing Bone, and no one in the Gu Clan knew that there was a clansman like him wandering outside.

His identity as an imposter had already been confirmed, and there was no point in explaining further.

Right now, he should be thinking about how to get out of here.

Gu Chen was no longer a hot-blooded young man. When he was questioned like this in the past, he might have fought back and taught Xiao Jing, Nun Ma, and the others a lesson. But now, he would only consider the big picture.

He had fought against a strong enemy like Huangfu Wuji, and he had fought a battle of wits and courage with the bamboo-hatted man. A self-righteous person like Xiao Jing was nothing in his eyes.

Xiao Jing's tricks to play with people's hearts were not worth mentioning in his eyes.

"The most important thing now is to get through this. Explanations are not important at all. The most important thing is to find someone to guarantee my safety."

Light flashed in Gu Chen's eyes, and he quickly turned his attention to Penglai Island Master.

It was obvious that Penglai Island Master wanted to protect him, and he could guarantee his safety with his authority in the Penglai Immortal Island.

Most of the hundreds of thousands of cultivators here came from the various islands of the Penglai Immortal Island, and the forces from other continents followed the lead of the 68 immortal sects.

Penglai Island Master might be able to protect him, but he probably wouldn't want to offend the 68 immortal sects.

Therefore, if he wanted to get out of here, he would have to rely on Xiao Jing and the others.

Understanding this, Gu Chen pretended to be angry out of humiliation, and a surging aura rose from his body.

"Xiao Jing, don't go too far!"

He attacked with a thunderous palm strike toward Xiao Jing!

Xiao Jing wasn't surprised; instead, he was delighted. He had hoped that his opponent would attack first so that he could teach him a lesson.

Moreover, he was unwilling to admit that his understanding of spiritual spells wasn't as good as his opponent's. Now was the chance to avenge himself!

Without flinching, he met Gu Chen's palm strike head-on!

Boom!

Their palms collided, and Gu Chen was forced to retreat again and again from the impact!

During this process, he forced the blood in his body to flow in reverse. With a "puff", he spat out a mouthful of blood and retreated more than ten steps before stopping!

His face instantly turned as pale as a sheet as if he was severely injured!

After forcing back Gu Chen, Xiao Jing laughed and said in a disdainful tone. "I'm surprised that you're weaker than I thought! How dare you pretend to be a member of the Gu Family with such little strength?! "

The cultivators froze for a moment and then burst into laughter.

They didn't expect that Gu Chen, who had lasted the longest in the Landscape Returning to Nature Painting and comprehended the most spiritual spells, would be so vulnerable. It seemed that one's comprehension ability and true strength couldn't be equated.

When the true disciples of the Celestial Sects saw this, their eyes were filled with disdain. Their original intention to settle the score with Lin Fan instantly faded.

"I'm surprised that he can't even take one palm strike from Xiao Jing."

Ding Yao shook her head, thinking that she had been blind to see that this imposter was only strong in appearance but weak in reality.

"It's degrading to pick a fight with him."

The disciples of the other immortal sects shook their heads, and only Wang Qian of the Taihao Immortal Faction looked at Gu Chen with sympathy.

Gu Chen pretended to be pale, but his body was fine.

He knew Xiao Jing's strength after a brief contact with him, and he didn't take him seriously at all.

Facing the disdain and mockery from the crowd, his eyes were extremely calm. Having been through great storms, he didn't care about this momentary loss.

Although Xiao Jing was in the limelight now, he would get even with him sooner or later.

Seeing that the imposter couldn't withstand one blow, the other cultivators were satisfied, and they stopped being aggressive.

At this moment, Penglai Island Master finally spoke.

"Everyone, although it's wrong to pretend to be someone else, the judgment of the Landscape Returning to Nature Painting won't be false. This young friend indeed won first place in the competition.

"This old man established this Ocean and Sky Banquet and comes up with a topic once every ten years. It's all for the sake of not sticking to a single style of selection."

"This young man is talented. Even though he made some mistakes, he has been punished. We should give him a chance, right?"
