Chapter 178: Imperial Dao Legacy
At this moment, many people looked at Gu Chen with eyes filled with fear, believing him to be a deity of slaughter.
No matter their background or strength, anyone who dared provoke him would be mercilessly slain.
Such thoughts scared many people present.
"The Seven Stars Sect and the Dragon Sparrow Clan will never let this go!" someone said, sending shivers down everyone's spine as they realized something.
Whether it was the Fire Crow Clan, the Heavenly Thunder Sect, the Seven Stars Sect, or the Dragon Sparrow Clan.
Each of these four major forces was formidable, especially the Seven Stars Sect, which was a part of the immortal-level Ten Thousand Stars Palace.
Gu Chen had killed Huo Ming, Lei Tian, as well as Lu Xin and Mo Chen — while it might seem trivial in the ancestral land, once this ordeal ended and the news spread, the entire domain would be turned upside down!
The Seven Stars Sect and the other three forces definitely would not let this go!
By killing the most outstanding talents of their younger generation, it was like Gu Chen had created a gap in their legacies, and the four major forces would undoubtedly rage.
Though the supremes might not make a move, it wouldn't be surprising if some giant figures showed up, demanding Gu Chen from the Holy Brilliance Dynasty. They wouldn't let him off easily!
"It's over, Gu Bai is in big trouble!"
Realizing this, the way people looked at Gu Chen shifted from initial shock and awe to pity.
Some even sneered inwardly and breathed a sigh of relief.
'Invincible in a hundred domains' – these words were truly heavy. Gu Chen's formidable power brought immense pressure to everyone here, almost suffocating them.
"Gu Bai, your arrogance won't last long!" thought both the crown prince and the second prince.
Besides Lu Xin and the others, there was also Yuan Qian. King Zhenan would definitely not let Gu Chen off.
"Brother Gu!" Yun Zishu frowned, extremely worried about Gu Chen's situation after leaving the ancestral lands.
He knew more than others, understanding that Gu Chen was now the successor of Qingyun Academy. Although the headmaster was strong, the Seven Stars Sect and the other three major forces were equally formidable!
Indeed, if the four forces united, not even Qingyun Academy could compare!
If they decided to kill Gu Chen, it truly would be hard to resist.
Unless the emperor of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty also protected Gu Chen, there might be a slight chance to placate the rage of the four forces.
But it was only a slight chance.
All these thoughts were well known to Gu Chen. Before he killed Yuan Qian and the others, he had already anticipated these developments.
Not killing them was out of the question for Gu Chen, especially Yuan Qian and Lu Xin, who definitely deserved death.
Otherwise, not killing these two, Gu Chen's train of thought wouldn't be clear, not to mention his subsequent cultivation.
As for what to do after leaving the ancestral land, with his methods, if the four forces wanted to hunt him down, unless the supremes personally intervened, there was virtually no way they could stop him.
But for beings at the supreme level, who could look down upon the upper realms, why would they bother with someone of his junior generation?
Thus, Gu Chen wasn't particularly worried.
As far as he was concerned, done is done!
At that moment, Gu Chen's gaze shifted towards the crown prince and the second prince.
The two princes felt a tremor in their hearts and a solemn expression emerged on their faces.
"This Gu Bai, having just killed Lu Xin and Mo Chen, does he plan to strike against two princes of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty as well? His killing intent is too strong!" As this scene unfolded, many were shaken.
Now, under Gu Chen's gaze, both the crown prince and the second prince had goosebumps all over their bodies, their pores emitting chills.
The pressure was too great!
Even the ninth prince looked at Gu Chen with a complex expression, thinking to himself that his future brother-in-law's killing aura was too intense.
At that moment, the Dragon Transformation Pool churned with dragon energy, and a beautiful figure emerged, her features radiant, her brows clear, clad in palace attire, her flawless face and transparent eyes full of spirit – it was Princess Xidie.
The last person to emerge from the Dragon Transformation Pool, this also indicated her potential, stronger than Mo Chen who had revived his true dragon bloodline!
"Xidie."
Then, Gu Chen's gaze shifted, looking towards Princess Xidie. With his heavenly eyes, he immediately noticed the change.
"Advanced to the Huanxu Realm?" Gu Chen nodded to himself, Xidie had indeed gained significant benefits from the Dragon Transformation Pool.
"Gu Bai."
Seeing Gu Chen, Princess Xidie also immediately smiled brightly, her smile brightening the surroundings considerably.
However, when she saw the bloody scene around her, she was also slightly shocked.
Then, Yun Zishu stepped forward, briefed Princess Xidie on the current situation, and expressed his concerns.
"After leaving the ancestral land, I will communicate with my father," said Princess Xidie, her pretty face turning very solemn, knowing that a storm was about to erupt in the spiritual domain soon.
But, as she looked at Gu Chen, a radiant smile reappeared on her flawless face, confident that no one in the younger generation could stand against Gu Chen's strength.
Looking at Princess Xidie before him, Gu Chen felt inclined to say there's no need for concern, but that would be too insincere. After a moment's thought, he decided against saying it.
He also glanced at the crown prince and the second prince. Out of regard for Princess Xidie, he refrained from taking action against them.
