137: Section 137

When he was in the Holy Land, every time he Cultivated, his Qi and blood would cause the heavens and earth to shake, thrumming like war drums, terrifying to the extreme.

Later, after achieving success in his Cultivation, he proactively requested to go to the Gu Yu Battlefield to fight.

With his physique, he caused rivers of blood to flow in the Gu Yu Battlefield, and his reputation greatly increased in a short time.

And now.

He returned with boundless momentum, astonishing everyone.

Gu Ruochen, who had caused a stir at the Sect entrance, did not show himself.

He merely sat atop, allowing the chariot pulled by the Dragon to rumble through the sky above the Sect entrance, and then directly enter a magnificent Divine Mountain.

This was his Dao field.

Named Ancient God Peak!

Stepping down from the chariot, Gu Ruochen arrived in the main hall, where he saw a group of Elders entering. These were all his followers and Dao Protectors.

Upon hearing of Gu Ruochen's return, they immediately came to converse with him.

“Has anything major happened within the Sect during my absence?”

In the hall, Gu Ruochen sat on the floor with a grand posture, his voice deep as he spoke.

Upon hearing this.

An Elder spoke, “There hasn’t been anything major, but the Holy Land recently newly conferred a Quasi-Saint Child!”

“Oh?”

Gu Ruochen showed curiosity, “Tell me about it.”

“This person was brought into the Sect by an Elder thirteen years ago. At that time, he was said to be somewhat extraordinary, but after entering, his Aptitude was mediocre. However, he recently suddenly underwent an Awakening of his talent, and then displayed extraordinary Comprehension Ability, quickly advancing to True Disciple, and now has even become the Seventh Quasi-Holy Son!”

“His strength is considerable. Some time ago, he defeated True Disciple Wang Huanzhi, then defeated Sword Inquiry Pavilion Sword Child Jiang Yuan in front of the Void Tomb, and even killed Hao Ran Saint Jun Tianye in the Void Tomb. Gu Shaoshang, the current successor of Taixuan Gate, was also not his opponent, and he defeated more than two hundred Prodigies with a single sword strike!”

The Elder slowly recounted everything Chu Mo had done during this period.

Initially, when he heard that Chu Mo had defeated Wang Huanzhi, he didn't pay much attention.

But as he heard that Chu Mo had defeated Jiang Yuan and killed Jun Tianye, his expression shifted slightly.

By the time he heard that Gu Shaoshang, along with over two hundred Prodigies, had been defeated by Chu Mo with a single sword strike, he already showed considerable interest.

“To be able to kill Jun Tianye and defeat Gu Shaoshang with one sword, his strength and talent must be extremely formidable!”

“After so many years away, I didn’t know there was such a Prodigy in the Sect!”

“I must definitely cross swords with him!”

As he spoke.

Gu Ruochen then asked for the location of Chu Mo’s Dao field, and then directly left his Ancient God Peak, heading towards Taihua Peak.

Taihua Peak.

At this moment, Zhao Chan was directing a group of servants to clean.

Suddenly, a whistling sound of breaking air abruptly came, and then a young Martial Artist wearing golden armor and holding a golden long spear appeared.

“Is this Taihua Peak?”

“Is Chu Mo here?”

Upon arriving, the newcomer immediately shouted loudly.

Seeing this scene.

Zhao Chan couldn't help but frown slightly.

Since Young Master became a True Disciple, had anyone in Taichu Holy Land ever directly called him by name like this?

Immediately, she felt a bit displeased.

A steward nearby, seeing Zhao Chan's expression, immediately understood and loudly rebuked, “How audacious! How dare you directly call the Quasi-Saint Child by name?”

The newcomer was none other than Gu Ruochen.

At this moment, hearing these words, he didn't take offense. Instead, he smiled and said, “Very well, then please ask Quasi-Saint Child Chu Mo to show himself. Just say that Gu Ruochen wishes to see him!”

Gu Ruochen?

As soon as this name was uttered, the steward's face instantly changed.

“What’s wrong? Does this person have some background?”

Zhao Chan, standing beside him, asked upon seeing his reaction.

“Miss Chan, you may not know, this Gu Ruochen is the Fourth Quasi-Saint Child of Taichu Holy Land, and he was already famous throughout the entire Eastern Wang Dao Domain more than ten years ago!”

The steward explained.

“Fourth Quasi-Saint Child?”

Hearing this, Zhao Chan’s face also changed slightly.

Currently, Young Master had just been conferred as the Seventh Quasi-Saint Child, and then a Quasi-Saint Child came; the meaning implied was self-evident.

Although she understood inwardly, Chu Mo was not on the peak at the moment, so she feigned ignorance and asked, “Young Master is not on the peak at the moment. May I ask why the Quasi-Saint Child has come to Taihua Peak this time?”

“Who are you?”

Gu Ruochen looked at Zhao Chan and asked.

“I am Young Master’s maidservant.”

“Maidservant…”

Gu Ruochen saw Zhao Chan’s extraordinary appearance and thought that she must not be a mere maidservant. Therefore, he asked, “Since you are a maidservant, you must be Chu Mo’s confidant. Please convey a message: since he has already become a Quasi-Saint Child, there must be a battle between us!”

“When he returns, I, Gu, will come again, seal my Cultivation, and be in the same Realm as him to determine who is superior!”

With that said.

Gu Ruochen did not linger, turning directly into a streak of light and leaving the place.

However.

Although he left.

But because of what he said, it stirred up huge waves throughout the entire Taichu Holy Land.

Many Disciples heard his challenge and were all greatly astonished.

“Hiss!”

“Gu Ruochen actually wants to fight Chu Mo?”

“I didn't hear wrong, did I? Two Quasi-Saint Children are actually going to have a big battle?”

“How exciting! Both of them are extremely powerful talents. Once they fight, it will definitely be an incredibly thrilling Dragon-Tiger struggle!”

“However, I wonder if Quasi-Saint Child Chu Mo dares to accept the challenge. After all, Quasi-Saint Child Gu Ruochen has been famous for a long time and his strength is extremely formidable! Although Quasi-Saint Child Chu Mo also possesses extraordinary talent, he has risen for a relatively short time, so he might find it difficult to win!”

“Regardless, let us all wait and see!”

“Indeed, the Holy Land will likely be much livelier from now on!”

Many Disciples discussed animatedly, their eyes filled with anticipation.

One was the Fourth Quasi-Saint Child of the Holy Land, long famous, and had also been fighting and training in the Gu Yu Battlefield for over ten years.

The other was the newly conferred Seventh Quasi-Saint Child!

Recently, he had been unrivaled in prominence throughout the entire Eastern Wang Dao Domain.

The conflict between the two attracted the attention of many people.

Even many Elders had heard about it and cast their gazes over.

And on Taihua Peak.

Elder Shaoguang and Elder Jiuling also rushed over after learning of the matter.

“How did Gu Ruochen come here!”

Elder Shaoguang frowned deeply, his face showing worry: “This person has just returned from the Ancient Domain. How could he have set his sights on True Disciple Chu? This is terrible!”

Hearing this.

Zhao Chan asked, “Is this person very powerful?”

“Not just powerful, but exceptionally so!”

Elder Jiuling beside him said with a solemn expression, “This person displayed extraordinary talent in his youth, possessing an Ancient God Body. His Qi and blood are like a Dragon, and even as a child, he could tear apart giant elephants with his bare hands, possessing unparalleled immense strength. The vastness of his Qi and blood far surpasses his peers!”

“He once challenged everyone in Taichu Holy Land. Besides the First Quasi-Saint Child whom he couldn't defeat, even the Second and Third Quasi-Saint Children could not guarantee victory against him!”

“More importantly, after forging his Soul Palace, this person went to the Gu Yu Battlefield to fight. That place is a land of conquest, filled with mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Gu Ruochen trained there for over ten years, and his martial arts of killing are estimated to have reached Major Achievement. His Ancient God Body can also unleash unparalleled Divine Might!”

“Currently, True Disciple Chu has just been promoted to Quasi-Saint Child, and his strength is still somewhat inferior. Once he clashes with him, it will likely be difficult to win!”

He frowned deeply, his face very solemn.

Listening to the two Elders' words, Zhao Chan’s pretty face also showed some worry.

But then, she suddenly recalled the scene of Chu Mo killing Xu Lingguang, and for some reason, her heart suddenly settled down.
