Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start
Chapter 1125 - 1125: 149 The Sky Falls and the Earth Flips_2

Commander Wei, feeling helpless, opened his mouth and finally said, "A detailed investigation is needed. Come with us for now."

As he spoke, he gave a glance and suddenly soldiers surrounded them from all sides.

The tall, bearded man stood aside, watching Gu Chen with a cold smirk on his face. He actually hoped Gu Chen would resist because then he would have a reason to kill him on the spot.

Gu Chen certainly knew the malice in the other's heart, but this was Saint Hua City, in the presence of a Unity Realm and several Huanxu Realm experts.

Not to mention those currently present, the royal palace itself was filled with numerous masters. The opponent was just waiting for him to cause a commotion here. Naturally, Gu Chen would not satisfy their wishes.

Thus, under everyone's gaze, Gu Chen was taken away by Commander Wei.

"Considering your cultivation, we might have to take you to a special place," Commander Wei reminded Gu Chen, giving him a heads up to be mentally prepared.

Gu Chen frowned, and shortly, he was led through a narrow path and brought to an underground hall. The environment here was dark and damp, surrounded by gray walls, utterly devoid of any sunlight.

Clearly, this was not a good place. Even if it was not a prison, it was hardly better than one.

Even more so, along the way, Gu Chen saw quite a few people who were imprisoned.

"I'm not a criminal, am I?" Gu Chen frowned and looked at Commander Wei.

Commander Wei's expression froze, but he did not speak. After bringing Gu Chen here, his task was considered complete.

Immediately, he turned and left, leaving Gu Chen behind.

Seeing Gu Chen's question, the bearded giant huffed disdainfully and said haughtily, "I'm telling you, don't presume too much here. Even the Great Powers of the Sky Realm must bow their heads here!"

Gu Chen, hearing this, remained expressionless. He just stared steadily at him, causing the bearded giant to feel uneasy.

Forcing himself to calm down, he said coldly, "I'm telling you, don't harbor any ill intentions. This is the court, the place where the Holy Brilliance Dynasty judges criminals!"

"What crimes have I committed? Could it be that being stabbed on the street, I have become my own murderer?" Gu Chen asked, his eyes gradually becoming fierce.

The bearded giant's face stiffened at these words. He did not expect that Gu Chen, merely a God Transformation Realm cultivator, brought to this bloodied place, would display no signs of fear, not even breaking out in a cold sweat, and still had such clear thoughts.

However, now that he held the upper hand, the bearded giant quickly regained his composure, sneered coldly, and said, "Once here, everything is beyond your control. If I say you're guilty, then you're guilty!"

"I'll give you one chance. If you agree to leave Saint Hua City now and return to your East Profound Region, you might even be lucky enough to escape with your life. Otherwise, hmm!" The bearded giant said haughtily, threatening Gu Chen.

"Otherwise what? Do you dare kill me?" Gu Chen's voice grew colder, but he did not take any action.

Because he noticed that there were at least a dozen auras surrounding him, each one belonging to top-tier experts of the Earth realm in the Unity Realm, including even a Great Power of the Sky Realm!

Clearly, the bearded giant was just waiting for Gu Chen to make a move, thereby falling into his trap.

What he did not know was that Gu Chen's perception was extremely sharp. He sensed these auras and saw through his conspiracy.

Seeing that Gu Chen was completely unaffected, the bearded man's brow furrowed suddenly, but he did not give up and continued to provoke Gu Chen.

"Let me tell you, once you're here, no matter the prodigy, in a moment I could make you call me 'grandpa', hahahahaha!" he laughed loudly, his attitude extremely arrogant and unrestrained.

Meanwhile, the news that Gu Chen had been captured by the Court of Holy Brilliance Dynasty was immediately relayed to Yuan Qian, the heir of King Zhenan, who was still at the Moon Fairy Tower.

"Very good, well done." At that moment, Yuan Qian was enjoying his wine quite comfortably, admiring the dance of Red Phoenix, one of the top ten beauties of the spiritual domain, his eyes glowing as he watched her shapely body.

Excited by the news, he turned his gaze to Lu Xin and said, "What do you think, Brother Lu? With a little maneuvering, this Gu Bai will have to obediently bow his head."

"Thank you, Brother Yuan," Lu Xin replied with a smile emerging on his face, raising his wine cup and then downing it in one gulp.

"Hahahahaha…" Yuan Qian laughed carelessly, "Just a minor character after all, no backing to speak of, how can he compare with me? In Saint Hua City, can't I do whatever I want with him? Who's fault is it that he doesn't recognize what's good for him and dares to disobey even Brother Lu's words?"

"Now, Brother Lu, how do you want to deal with this Gu Bai? Kill him outright, cripple him, or turn him into a mad fool?" Yuan Qian asked indifferently, exhibiting a casual demeanor to torment Gu Chen.

"I leave the decision to Brother Yuan."

Lu Xin said with a mild smile. To him, although Gu Bai was quite capable, compared to someone notorious across a hundred domains like himself, he naturally did not consider it too significant, and whatever happened to him did not matter.

"I hope, through this experience, he will realize the gap between people," Lu Xin said, then toasted Yuan Qian another cup of wine.

"Hahahahaha, too bad, realizing it won't help him. I might not give him a second chance," Yuan Qian laughed loudly, extremely carefree, as he decided Gu Chen's fate effortlessly.

On a nearby high platform, Red Phoenix moved her body gracefully and enchantingly. Her hearing was outstanding, and since Yuan Qian and Lu Xin made no attempt to hide their conversation, she heard every clear word they said.

"It seems, this one named Gu Bai will merely be a flash in the pan," Red Phoenix thought to herself. She had originally wanted to find an opportunity to discuss illusion techniques with Gu Chen.

It seems now, that idea is destined to be unfulfilled.

On the other hand, inside the Court of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, the bearded man was grimacing with a cruel smile, summoning several burly men. They were already prepared, holding various torture devices, ready to torture Gu Chen directly.

Clearly, they had received Yuan Qian's message: regardless of life or death, they could dispose of him as they pleased.

With this message, the bearded man was extremely excited. After all, right before his eyes was a once brilliant genius listed on the Dao Gold List. To torture such a prodigy brought him immense pleasure, a truly rare opportunity.

"Blame yourself for being so oblivious, daring to refuse anyone. In your next life, don't worry about anything else, just keep your eyes wide open!" The bearded man sneered menacingly, signaling his men to start torturing Gu Chen.

At that moment, Gu Chen's expression was ice-cold to the extreme. The dozen or so auras surrounding him were still present, but he knew he could not wait any longer!

"If that's the case, then let's turn heaven and earth upside down!" Gu Chen's killing intent was sky-high, his eyes blazing with divine radiance!

At that moment, he had decided to throw caution to the wind and act directly, overturning everything here.

What could the Holy Brilliance Dynasty do? Just as Gu Chen had said, let it be a tumultuous upheaval, piercing the heavens here!
