181: Chapter 181 The power gap is too severe.

After speaking, King Gu Ji's expression turned extremely unpleasant.

There was no other reason; it was simply because the number of Peak Great Emperors within the Imperial Dynasty on the Heavenly Saint Continent was not particularly high.

Originally, the fact that the Sixth Brother had taken away two had already caused him great distress. If he were to let Lin Zilong take away two more, how could he continue to manage the Imperial Dynasty?

Turning his gaze to Lin Zilong, upon hearing King Gu Ji's words, his brow couldn't help but furrow.

Before coming, he had anticipated that King Gu Ji would say this, so he had already prepared his response.

"Your Highness, Zhao Wuyu and Song Tianan also only reached the Peak Great Emperor realm thanks to His Majesty's grace."

"And His Majesty has stated that those two only take orders from me."

"Therefore, it is perfectly normal and reasonable for me to take them to serve His Majesty by his side. Or are you, Your Highness, questioning His Majesty's decision?"

With Lin Zilong's words, he effectively blocked King Gu Ji's path.

If he were to forbid Lin Zilong from taking Zhao Wuyu and Song Tianan away, it would confirm the accusation that he was questioning His Majesty.

This was a charge he absolutely could not accept at present.

Thus, King Gu Ji's expression remained extremely unpleasant, but he slowly opened his mouth and spoke.

"Naturally, I dare not. Since this is His Majesty's decision, you may take them and leave."

Although King Gu Ji's tone seemed indifferent, his heart was bleeding inside.

After all, the number of Great Emperor Experts within the Imperial Dynasty on the Heavenly Saint Continent was already limited.

But now, aside from accepting it, he had no other choice.

Seeing King Gu Ji agree, Lin Zilong finally showed a satisfied expression, then raised his hands in a respectful salute and said in a reverent tone, "In that case, I thank Your Highness."

After speaking, Lin Zilong respectfully withdrew, leaving only King Gu Ji with a gloomy expression in the main hall.

After a long while, King Gu Ji finally let out a deep sigh, calming himself down.

"Stay calm, there's no need to get angry."

"After all, all of this was obtained thanks to the Sixth Brother. It's only natural for the Sixth Brother to take them away now."

"And I should even thank the Sixth Brother, since he didn't take everything away."

But the more he spoke, the harder it became for King Gu Ji to swallow his anger, and by the end, his rage was almost impossible to suppress.

Yet, in the end, he forcibly held it back, because at present, aside from agreeing, he had no other choice.

Gu Jixiao's strength was so formidable that even if he wanted to resist, he had no opportunity to do so.

On the other side, after leaving, Lin Zilong quickly set off for the Northern Desert.

In the Northern Desert was Song Tianan.

With Lin Zilong's Peak Great Emperor strength, it took only half an hour to reach the Northern Desert.

He saw Song Tianan resting within a great mountain.

The decree King Gu Ji had given him was to wait within Huangfeng Mountain and only come out when needed.

Upon arriving at Huangfeng Mountain, Lin Zilong did not enter directly. Instead, he stood in the air, hands behind his back, and spoke in a calm, measured tone.

"Well, Tianan, aren't you going to come out and see me?"

After speaking, Lin Zilong's powerful Peak Great Emperor aura surged forth, descending upon Huangfeng Mountain.

And at the moment Lin Zilong's Peak Great Emperor aura fell, deep within Huangfeng Mountain, Song Tianan suddenly opened his eyes, then revealed an expression of wild joy. With a flicker of his figure, he appeared before Lin Zilong.

"General Lin, you've finally come!"

"Mm, I've come to take you away. His Majesty has issued a decree for me to go to his side and continue serving him. I haven't forgotten you all, so you'll come with me."

Lin Zilong nodded, looking at Song Tianan with utmost seriousness as he spoke.

Hearing this, Song Tianan was extremely excited inside and hurriedly agreed.

"Yes, General Lin."

"I've long been unable to stand this Huangfeng Mountain. If it weren't for the fact that His Highness is His Majesty's elder brother, I wouldn't have followed his orders."

"Mm, in that case, come with me. Let's find Wuyu, then wait for Prime Minister Chen to come and take us away."

After speaking, Lin Zilong headed toward the Southern Wasteland. Seeing this, Song Tianan hurriedly followed.

What Chen Guchuan had told them initially was that once they were ready, he would personally come to take them away; there was no need for them to wait at a fixed location.

After all, with Chen Guchuan's current Immortal King Peak strength, his Divine Sense could envelop the entire Heavenly Saint Continent. Appearing in any region of the Heavenly Saint Continent was merely a matter of an instant.

Therefore, there was no need for Lin Zilong and the others to reach a designated area to wait for him.

On the other side, Chen Guchuan quickly returned to the Chen Family.

He saw that the Chen Family at this moment was no different from when he had left, yet it filled Chen Guchuan's heart with immense emotion.

After all, it hadn't been long since he last left the Chen Family, yet he had already advanced to the Immortal King Peak realm so quickly.

The Chen Family would undoubtedly become renowned because of him.

Thinking of this, Chen Guchuan shook his head. The next moment, he directly appeared within the Chen Family's clan hall.

He saw that the Chen Family's clan hall was empty at this moment. Seeing this, Chen Guchuan directly took a seat in the Clan Chief's position, then with a thought, his Divine Sense entered the minds of all clan members across the Heavenly Saint Continent.

"I have returned. Return to the clan hall to see me immediately."

The moment Chen Guchuan's thought was transmitted, almost instantly, all Chen Family members across the Heavenly Saint Continent heard his message.

After realizing what had happened, they were shocked inside, clearly not expecting Chen Guchuan to return so quickly.

But after recovering, they all hurried toward the direction of the clan hall.

And soon after, clan members began to appear before him one after another.

When they saw that Chen Guchuan had truly returned, their faces showed unconcealed fervor and excitement.

"Clan Chief, you've finally returned!"

The Chen Family's Grand Elder soon appeared. The moment he saw Chen Guchuan, he could no longer contain his inner excitement. He stepped forward and gave Chen Guchuan a big hug.

He had watched Chen Guchuan grow up, so Chen Guchuan did not stop him.

Looking at the current Chen Family, although Chen Guchuan was the most powerful among the clan members, possessing the full strength of an Immortal King Peak, the gap in strength was also somewhat too extreme.

The most powerful, Chen Guchuan, had already reached Immortal King Peak, while the second most powerful was the Grand Elder at the Void Refining Late Stage.

Therefore, sensing this, Chen Guchuan's brow couldn't help but furrow.

But it soon relaxed. He believed that with his efforts, the Chen Family would soon become one of the top-tier forces in the Holy Realm.

Thinking of this, Chen Guchuan looked around. Seeing that the clan members had mostly arrived, he finally spoke.
